Revision 23300f657594656e7ebac3130b43460ebc4381cc authored by Linus Torvalds on 19 February 2016, 16:40:05 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 19 February 2016, 16:40:05 UTC
Pull arm64 fixes from Will Deacon: "Here are some more arm64 fixes for 4.5. This has mostly come from Yang Shi, who saw some issues under -rt that also affect mainline. The rest of it is pretty small, but still worth having. We've got an old issue outstanding with valid_user_regs which will likely wait until 4.6 (since it would really benefit from some time in -next) and another issue with kasan and idle which should be fixed next week. Apart from that, pretty quiet here (and still no sign of the THP issue reported on s390...) Summary: - Allow EFI stub to use strnlen(), which is required by recent libfdt - Avoid smp_processor_id() in preempt context during unwinding - Avoid false Kasan warnings during unwinding - Ensure early devices are picked up by the IOMMU DMA ops - Avoid rebuilding the kernel for the 'install' target - Run fixup handlers for alignment faults on userspace access" * tag 'arm64-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: arm64: mm: allow the kernel to handle alignment faults on user accesses arm64: kbuild: make "make install" not depend on vmlinux arm64: dma-mapping: fix handling of devices registered before arch_initcall arm64/efi: Make strnlen() available to the EFI namespace arm/arm64: crypto: assure that ECB modes don't require an IV arm64: make irq_stack_ptr more robust arm64: debug: re-enable irqs before sending breakpoint SIGTRAP arm64: disable kasan when accessing frame->fp in unwind_frame

s3fb - fbdev driver for S3 Trio/Virge chips
===========================================
Supported Hardware
==================
S3 Trio32
S3 Trio64 (and variants V+, UV+, V2/DX, V2/GX)
S3 Virge (and variants VX, DX, GX and GX2+)
S3 Plato/PX (completely untested)
S3 Aurora64V+ (completely untested)
- only PCI bus supported
- only BIOS initialized VGA devices supported
- probably not working on big endian
I tested s3fb on Trio64 (plain, V+ and V2/DX) and Virge (plain, VX, DX),
all on i386.
Supported Features
==================
* 4 bpp pseudocolor modes (with 18bit palette, two variants)
* 8 bpp pseudocolor mode (with 18bit palette)
* 16 bpp truecolor modes (RGB 555 and RGB 565)
* 24 bpp truecolor mode (RGB 888) on (only on Virge VX)
* 32 bpp truecolor mode (RGB 888) on (not on Virge VX)
* text mode (activated by bpp = 0)
* interlaced mode variant (not available in text mode)
* doublescan mode variant (not available in text mode)
* panning in both directions
* suspend/resume support
* DPMS support
Text mode is supported even in higher resolutions, but there is limitation to
lower pixclocks (maximum usually between 50-60 MHz, depending on specific
hardware, i get best results from plain S3 Trio32 card - about 75 MHz). This
limitation is not enforced by driver. Text mode supports 8bit wide fonts only
(hardware limitation) and 16bit tall fonts (driver limitation). Text mode
support is broken on S3 Trio64 V2/DX.
There are two 4 bpp modes. First mode (selected if nonstd == 0) is mode with
packed pixels, high nibble first. Second mode (selected if nonstd == 1) is mode
with interleaved planes (1 byte interleave), MSB first. Both modes support
8bit wide fonts only (driver limitation).
Suspend/resume works on systems that initialize video card during resume and
if device is active (for example used by fbcon).
Missing Features
================
(alias TODO list)
* secondary (not initialized by BIOS) device support
* big endian support
* Zorro bus support
* MMIO support
* 24 bpp mode support on more cards
* support for fontwidths != 8 in 4 bpp modes
* support for fontheight != 16 in text mode
* composite and external sync (is anyone able to test this?)
* hardware cursor
* video overlay support
* vsync synchronization
* feature connector support
* acceleration support (8514-like 2D, Virge 3D, busmaster transfers)
* better values for some magic registers (performance issues)
Known bugs
==========
* cursor disable in text mode doesn't work
* text mode broken on S3 Trio64 V2/DX
