| 12 years 1 month | Merge branch 'jz-2.6.35' of projects.qi-hardware.com:qi-kernel into jz-2.6.35 |
| 13 years 15 days | MIPS: JZ4740: A320: Removed part of command line that disables DMA
in USB gadget driver. The DMA was disabled by booboo to work around a bug where the USB connection would get stuck once in a while. This bug may no longer be present in the latest kernel; I am removing the workaround so we can test this. In a quick test I did not find any problems. Also it seems that Qi Hardware are not using the workaround. |
| 13 years 16 days | MIPS: JZ4740: A320: Disabled various config options. I think we do not need any of these and disabling them reduces the kernel size by over 50K. |
| 13 years 16 days | MIPS: JZ4740: A320: Switch rootfs from romfs to squashfs. The compression made the image about 40% smaller. Also loading speed improved by about 20%, probably because less data has to be loaded from the SD card and the time saved there is more than the time spent on decompression. We are using gzip compression rather than lzma compression: the lzma image was about 15% smaller than the gzip image, but loading took over twice as long. The benchmark used was copying /usr/lib to /tmp with the CPU clocked at 408 MHz. |
| 13 years 17 days | Squashfs: Make unlzma available to non initramfs/initrd code Add a config option DECOMPRESS_LZMA_NEEDED which allows subsystems to specify they need the unlzma code. Normally decompress_unlzma.c is compiled with __init and unlzma is not exported to modules. Signed-off-by: Phillip Lougher <phillip@lougher.demon.co.uk> |

| 13 years 17 days | MIPS: JZ4740: A320: Declare power slider as wakeup button. This instructs the gpio-keys driver to leave the interrupt for this key on in suspend mode. That way, the key can be used to wake up from sleep mode. |
| 13 years 17 days | MIPS: JZ4740: A320: Reformatted gpio keys table. The table was already more than 80 characters wide and more fields have to be added to it. No functional changes. |
| 13 years 20 days | MIPS: JZ4740: A320: Disable /dev/mem and /dev/kmem. Multiple reasons: - avoids CPU frequency setting via /dev/mem conflicting with the kernel's frequency setting (cpufreq and other drivers) - blocks dirty ports from attempting to write GP2X registers on a Dingoo (there is at least one such port out there) - makes the kernel 1.3K smaller |
| 13 years 20 days | /dev/mem: Add kernel config option to omit this device. Omitting this device prevents software from accessing the hardware directly, which can cause trouble if the kernel accesses the same hardware. It also saves some space on embedded systems. |
| 13 years 20 days | MIPS: JZ4740: Round PLL frequency down to a multiple of 24 MHz. This is required to make the color encoding of the TV-out signal work on the Dingoo. However, clock.c should not contain Dingoo specific code, but that's something to solve later. |
| 13 years 29 days | Replace/remove SOC_JZ4740 from Kconfigs. The closest alternative is MACH_JZ4740. |
| 13 years 28 days | MIPS: JZ4740: A320: Added PCM device to board support file. Now audio works again. |
| 13 years 28 days | MIPS: JZ4740: A320: Updated for ramzswap -> zram rename. |

| 13 years 4 months | Support generic I/O requests Currently, ramzwap devices (/dev/ramzswapX) can only be used as swap disks since it was hard-coded to consider only the first request in bio vector. Now, we iterate over all the segments in an incoming bio which allows us to handle all kinds of I/O requests. ramzswap devices can still handle PAGE_SIZE aligned and multiple of PAGE_SIZE sized I/O requests only. To ensure that we get always get such requests only, we set following request_queue attributes to PAGE_SIZE: - physical_block_size - logical_block_size - io_min - io_opt Note: physical and logical block sizes were already set equal to PAGE_SIZE and that seems to be sufficient to get PAGE_SIZE aligned I/O. Since we are no longer limited to handling swap requests only, the next few patches rename ramzswap to zram. So, the devices will then be called /dev/zram{0, 1, 2, ...} Usage/Examples: 1) Use as /tmp storage - mkfs.ext4 /dev/zram0 - mount /dev/zram0 /tmp 2) Use as swap: - mkswap /dev/zram0 - swapon /dev/zram0 -p 10 # give highest priority to zram0 Performance: - I/O benchamark done with 'dd' command. Details can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/compcache/wiki/zramperf Summary: - Maximum read speed (approx): - ram disk: 1200 MB/sec - zram disk: 600 MB/sec - Maximum write speed (approx): - ram disk: 500 MB/sec - zram disk: 160 MB/sec Issues: - Double caching: We can potentially waste memory by having two copies of a page -- one in page cache (uncompress) and second in the device memory (compressed). However, during reclaim, clean page cache pages are quickly freed, so this does not seem to be a big problem. - Stale data: Not all filesystems support issuing 'discard' requests to underlying block devices. So, if such filesystems are used over zram devices, we can accumulate lot of stale data in memory. Even for filesystems to do support discard (example, ext4), we need to see how effective it is. - Scalability: There is only one (per-device) de/compression buffer stats. This can lead to significant contention, especially when used for generic (non-swap) purposes. Signed-off-by: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org> |

| 13 years 28 days | MIPS: JZ4740: A320: Take advantage of 72-byte eccpos. Expanding eccpos to 72 bytes is a cleaner solution than the workaround used in jz-2.6.34. |
| 13 years 28 days | MTD: JZ4740: Expand eccpos to 72 bytes. This is required to support 4K pages: 8*9 byte ECC for 8*512 byte data. |
| 13 years 28 days | MIPS: jz4740: platform.c: Add memory region for NAND banks Based on 2.6.34 commit from Lars-Peter Clausen. |
| 13 years 28 days | MIPS: JZ4740: SLCD: Fix bytes per frame for TV-out. To support double buffering, video memory is allocated for two frames, but only one frame should be uploaded to the LCD controller when using TV-out. Note that this does not add support for double buffering when using TV-out, it only fixes single buffering. |
| 13 years 28 days | MIPS: JZ4740: a320_defconfig: Default config for Dingoo A320. This is the config from the jz-2.6.34 branch brought up to date for 2.6.35. |
| 13 years 28 days | MIPS: JZ4740: Updated board support for Dingoo A320. Updated to new device names. Removed init calls that are no longer necessary. Removed unnecessary code, most of which was already commented out. |
