2007-07-17Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by defaultRafael J. Wysocki1-0/+1
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2007-06-28[POWERPC] PS3: Frame buffer system-bus reworkGeert Uytterhoeven1-163/+127
Convert the ps3fb device from a platform device to a PS3 system bus device. Fix the remove and shutdown methods to support kexec and to make ps3fb a loadable module.

2007-02-12[PATCH] ps3: Virtual Frame Buffer DriverGeert Uytterhoeven1-0/+1229
Add the PS3 Virtual Frame Buffer Driver. As the actual graphics hardware cannot be accessed directly by Linux, ps3fb uses a virtual frame buffer in main memory. The actual screen image is copied to graphics memory by the GPU on every vertical blank, by making a hypervisor call.
