Revision e23e8c0690d2952dce53e712d01d5b2179f98b64 authored by Myron Stowe on 07 February 2012, 22:26:44 UTC, committed by Russell King on 21 February 2012, 09:35:32 UTC 
ARM/PCI: Remove ARM's duplicate definition of 'pcibios_max_latency'
 
The patch series to re-factor PCI's 'latency timer' setup (re:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=131983853831049&w=2) forgot to
remove the ARM specific definition of 'pcibios_max_latency' once such
had been moved into the pci core resulting in ARM related compile
errors -
  drivers/built-in.o:(.data+0x230): multiple definition of
  `pcibios_max_latency'
  arch/arm/common/built-in.o:(.data+0x40c): first defined here
  make[1]: *** [vmlinux.o] Error 1

In the series, patch 2/16 (commit 168c8619fd8) converted the ARM
specific version of 'pcibios_set_master()' to a non-inlined version.
This was done in preperation for hosting it up into PCI's core, which
was done in patch 10/16 (commit 96c5590058d) of the series (and
where the removal of ARM's 'pcibios_max_latency' was overlooked).

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.


Documentation on the DRI is available from:
