2010-02-27MIPS: Alchemy: devboard register abstractionManuel Lauss
All Alchemy development boards have external CPLDs with a few registers in them. They all share an identical register layout with only a few minor differences (except the PB1000) in bit functions and base addresses. This patch - adds a primitive facility to initialize and use these external registers, - replaces all occurrences of bcsr->xxx accesses with calls to the new functions (the pb1200 cascade irq handling code is special). - collects BCSR register information scattered throughout the board headers in a central place.

2010-01-13mtd: Really add ARM pismo supportRussell King - ARM Linux
(Commit 7cb777a3d71f9d1f7eb149c7a504d21f24219ae8 (mtd: add ARM pismo support) intended to add this, but seems only to have patched the Makefile without touching Kconfig or providing any code...) The following patch adds support for PISMO modules found on ARM Ltd development platforms. These are MTD modules, and can have a selection of SRAM, flash or DOC devices as described by an on-board I2C EEPROM. We support SRAM and NOR flash devices only by registering appropriate conventional MTD platform devices as children of the 'pismo' device.

2009-12-31kmsg_dump: Dump on crash_kexec as wellKOSAKI Motohiro
crash_kexec gets called before kmsg_dump(KMSG_DUMP_OOPS) if panic_on_oops is set, so the kernel log buffer is not stored for this case. This patch adds a KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC dump type which gets called when crash_kexec() is invoked. To avoid getting double dumps, the old KMSG_DUMP_PANIC is moved below crash_kexec(). The mtdoops driver is modified to handle KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC in the same way as a panic.

ubiupdatevol -t does the following: - ubi_start_update() - set_update_marker() - for all LEBs ubi_eba_unmap_leb() - clear_update_marker() - ubi_wl_flush() ubi_wl_flush() physically erases all PEB, once it returns all PEBs are empty. clear_update_marker() has the update marker written after return. If there is a power cut between the last two functions then the UBI volume has no longer the "update" marker set and may have some valid LEBs while some of them may be gone. If that volume in question happens to be a UBIFS volume, then mount will fail with |UBIFS error (pid 1361): ubifs_read_node: bad node type (255 but expected 6) |UBIFS error (pid 1361): ubifs_read_node: bad node at LEB 0:0 |Not a node, first 24 bytes: |00000000: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff if there is at least one valid LEB and the wear-leveling worker managed to clear LEB 0.

2009-11-30mtd: mtdoops: refactor as a kmsg_dumperSimon Kagstrom
The last messages which happens before a crash might contain interesting information about the crash. This patch reworks mtdoops using the kmsg_dumper support instead of a console, which simplifies the code and also includes the messages before the oops started. On oops callbacks, the MTD device write is scheduled in a work queue (to be able to use the regular mtd->write call), while panics call mtd->panic_write directly. Thus, if panic_on_oops is set, the oops will be written out during the panic. A parameter to specify which mtd device to use (number or name), as well as a flag, writable at runtime, to toggle wheter to dump oopses or only panics (since oopses can often be handled by regular syslog). The patch was massaged and amended by Artem.
