module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In
fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
trick.

It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version
it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.

Fix up the section in the vfb driver, by moving the variables vfb_default
and vfb_fix from .init.data to .devinit.data

This fixes the following warnings issued by modpost:

WARNING: drivers/video/vfb.o(.devinit.text+0xf8): Section mismatch in reference from the function vfb_probe() to the variable .init.data:vfb_default
The function __devinit vfb_probe() references
a variable __initdata vfb_default.
If vfb_default is only used by vfb_probe then
annotate vfb_default with a matching annotation.

WARNING: drivers/video/vfb.o(.devinit.text+0x114): Section mismatch in reference from the function vfb_probe() to the variable .init.data:vfb_fix
The function __devinit vfb_probe() references
a variable __initdata vfb_fix.
If vfb_fix is only used by vfb_probe then
annotate vfb_fix with a matching annotation.

5a0e3ad6af8660be21ca98a971cd00f331318c05 24-Mar-2010 Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.

2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

A pointer to a probe callback is passed to the core via
platform_driver_register and so the function must not disappear when the
.init sections are discarded. Otherwise (if also having HOTPLUG=y)
unbinding and binding a device to the driver via sysfs will result in an
oops as does a device being registered late.

An alternative to this patch is using platform_driver_probe instead of
platform_driver_register plus removing the pointer to the probe function
from the struct platform_driver.

b604838ac6d233fd6bffc0e758a818133a01ff22 24-Jul-2008 Frans Pop <elendil@planet.nl> vfb: only enable if explicitly requested when compiled in

The Kconfig help for the vfb driver says:
Do NOT enable it for normal systems! To protect the innocent, it
has to be enabled explicitly at boot time using the kernel option
`video=vfb:'.

This change lets the code match the description.

Support for vfb:disable is kept for backwards compatibility; vfb:off works
because it is tested at a higher level.

Note: any undefined option (e.g. vfb:enable) will also enable this driver.

The relevant code has been unchanged since before the migration to
git (2.6.12).

This patch fixes bugzilla #9310 and was the root cause behind
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/31/220.

Changed things:

1. vmalloc()/vfree() replaced with rvmalloc()/rvfree() (taken from
drivers/media/video/se401.c)

2. mmap method implemented (mostly taken from drivers/media/video/se401.c)

3. smem_start and smem_len fields of struct fb_fix_screeninfo initialized.
(smem_start initialized with virtual address, don't know if it is really
bad...)

According to Jon Smirl, filling in the field fb_cursor with soft_cursor for
drivers that do not support hardware cursors is redundant. The soft_cursor
function is usable by all drivers because it is just a wrapper around
fb_imageblit. And because soft_cursor is an fbcon-specific hook, the file is
moved to the console directory.

Thus, drivers that do not support hardware cursors can leave the fb_cursor
field blank. For drivers that do, they can fill up this field with their own
version.

The end result is a smaller code size. And if the framebuffer console is not
loaded, module/kernel size is also reduced because the soft_cursor module will
also not be loaded.
