Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

19990204 Zoltán Böszörményi <zboszor@mail.externet.hu>
|
|
Refined ARR support: enable MAPEN in set_mtrr_prepare()
|
|
and disable MAPEN in set_mtrr_done().
|
|
19990205 Richard Gooch <rgooch@atnf.csiro.au>
|
|
Minor cleanups.
|
|
v1.30
|
|
19990208 Zoltán Böszörményi <zboszor@mail.externet.hu>
|
|
Protect plain 6x86s (and other processors without the
|
|
Page Global Enable feature) against accessing CR4 in
|
|
set_mtrr_prepare() and set_mtrr_done().
|
|
19990210 Richard Gooch <rgooch@atnf.csiro.au>
|
|
Turned <set_mtrr_up> and <get_mtrr> into function pointers.
|
|
v1.31
|
|
19990212 Zoltán Böszörményi <zboszor@mail.externet.hu>

Major rewrite of cyrix_arr_init(): do not touch ARRs,

|
leave them as the BIOS have set them up.
|
|
Enable usage of all 8 ARRs.
|
|
Avoid multiplications by 3 everywhere and other
|
|
code clean ups/speed ups.
|
|
19990213 Zoltán Böszörményi <zboszor@mail.externet.hu>
|
|
Set up other Cyrix processors identical to the boot cpu.
|
|
Since Cyrix don't support Intel APIC, this is l'art pour l'art.
|
|
Weigh ARRs by size:
|
|
If size <= 32M is given, set up ARR# we were given.
|
|
If size > 32M is given, set up ARR7 only if it is free,
|
|
fail otherwise.
|
|
19990214 Zoltán Böszörményi <zboszor@mail.externet.hu>
|
|
Also check for size >= 256K if we are to set up ARR7,
|
|
mtrr_add() returns the value it gets from set_mtrr()
|
|
19990218 Zoltán Böszörményi <zboszor@mail.externet.hu>
|
|
Remove Cyrix "coma bug" workaround from here.
|
|
Moved to linux/arch/i386/kernel/setup.c and
|
|
linux/include/asm-i386/bugs.h
|
|
19990228 Richard Gooch <rgooch@atnf.csiro.au>
|
|
Added MTRRIOC_KILL_ENTRY ioctl(2)
|
|
Trap for counter underflow in <mtrr_file_del>.
|
|
Trap for 4 MiB aligned regions for PPro, stepping <= 7.
|
|
19990301 Richard Gooch <rgooch@atnf.csiro.au>
|
|
Created <get_free_region> hook.
|
|
19990305 Richard Gooch <rgooch@atnf.csiro.au>
|
|
Temporarily disable AMD support now MTRR capability flag is set.
|
|
v1.32
|
|
19990308 Zoltán Böszörményi <zboszor@mail.externet.hu>
|
|
Adjust my changes (19990212-19990218) to Richard Gooch's
|
|
latest changes. (19990228-19990305)
|
|
v1.33
|
|
19990309 Richard Gooch <rgooch@atnf.csiro.au>
|
|
Fixed typo in <printk> message.
|
|
19990310 Richard Gooch <rgooch@atnf.csiro.au>
|
|
Support K6-II/III based on Alan Cox's <alan@redhat.com> patches.
|
|
v1.34
|
|
19990511 Bart Hartgers <bart@etpmod.phys.tue.nl>
|
|
Support Centaur C6 MCR's.
|
|
19990512 Richard Gooch <rgooch@atnf.csiro.au>
|
|
Minor cleanups.
|
|
v1.35
|
|
19990707 Zoltán Böszörményi <zboszor@mail.externet.hu>
|
|
Check whether ARR3 is protected in cyrix_get_free_region()
|
|
and mtrr_del(). The code won't attempt to delete or change it
|
|
from now on if the BIOS protected ARR3. It silently skips ARR3
|
|
in cyrix_get_free_region() or returns with an error code from
|
|
mtrr_del().
|
|
19990711 Zoltán Böszörményi <zboszor@mail.externet.hu>
|
|
Reset some bits in the CCRs in cyrix_arr_init() to disable SMM
|
|
if ARR3 isn't protected. This is needed because if SMM is active
|
|
and ARR3 isn't protected then deleting and setting ARR3 again
|
|
may lock up the processor. With SMM entirely disabled, it does
|
|
not happen.
|
|
19990812 Zoltán Böszörményi <zboszor@mail.externet.hu>
|
|
Rearrange switch() statements so the driver accomodates to
|
|
the fact that the AMD Athlon handles its MTRRs the same way
|
|
as Intel does.
|
|
19990814 Zoltán Böszörményi <zboszor@mail.externet.hu>
|
|
Double check for Intel in mtrr_add()'s big switch() because
|
|
that revision check is only valid for Intel CPUs.
|
|
19990819 Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com>
|
|
Tested Zoltan's changes on a pre production Athlon - 100%
|
|
success.
|
|
19991008 Manfred Spraul <manfreds@colorfullife.com>
|
|
replaced spin_lock_reschedule() with a normal semaphore.
|
|
v1.36
|
|
20000221 Richard Gooch <rgooch@atnf.csiro.au>
|
|

|
|
Formatting changes.
|
|
v1.37
|
|
20001109 H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
|
|
Use the new centralized CPU feature detects.
|
|
|
|
v1.38
|
|
20010309 Dave Jones <davej@suse.de>
|
|
Add support for Cyrix III.
|
|
|
|
v1.39
|
|
20010312 Dave Jones <davej@suse.de>
|
|
Ugh, I broke AMD support.
|
|
Reworked fix by Troels Walsted Hansen <troels@thule.no>
|
|
|
|
v1.40
|
|
20010327 Dave Jones <davej@suse.de>
|
|
Adapted Cyrix III support to include VIA C3.
|
|
|
|
v2.0
|
|
20020306 Patrick Mochel <mochel@osdl.org>
|
|
Split mtrr.c -> mtrr/*.c
|
|
Converted to Linux Kernel Coding Style
|
|
Fixed several minor nits in form
|
|
Moved some SMP-only functions out, so they can be used
|
|
for power management in the future.
|
|
TODO: Fix user interface cruft.
