[PARISC] Add os_id_to_string helper

Add a helper to asm/pdc.h to translate OS_ID values to strings and use it in the pdc_stable driver. Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin

[PARISC] OS_ID_LINUX == 0x0006

2006-06-27T23:28:42Z

We were assigned an OS_ID of 0x0006. Consistently use OS_ID_LINUX instead of using the magic number. Also update the OS_ID_ defines in asm/pdc.h to reflect this. Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin

[PARISC] pdc_stable version 0.30

2006-06-27T23:28:38Z

pdc_stable v0.30: This patch introduces 3 more files to the /sys/firmware/stable tree: - diagnostic, which contains a cryptic hex string - osdep1, a 16 bytes os-dependent storage area always available - osdep2, another os-dependent storage area which existence/size depends on hversion. This patch also adds code to setup the "Linux" signature in stable storage. That is to say that starting with this patch, the kernel will now sign its OSID (0x0006, thx LaMont) in Stable Storage upon boot, whether pdc_stable is enabled or not.

2006-01-23T01:26:35Z

pdc_stable v0.22, changes since v0.10: o renamed root subsystem from 'pdc' to 'stable' o split 'info' into several files, one per PDC field o implemented 'autoboot' and 'autosearch' write calls to toggle these flags o grant read permission to all users on "safe" files o more code cleanup (removed duplicate code) o avoid bad stable storage clobbering by write locking critical sections o print consistent data as well o SMP cleanups Signed-off-by: Thibaut VARENE Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin

[PARISC] pdc_stable: More robust sysfs error checking

2006-01-11T02:52:36Z

pdc_stable 0.10: As mentioned on LKML, pdc_stable wasn't checky enough on the return values of some calls. This patch makes it more robust to errors when registering objects in sysfs. Signed-off-by: Thibaut VARENE Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin
