e504b84805 fbdev: Fix fb_find_nearest_mode refresh comparison
Refresh rate nearness is not calculated or reset when nearest resolution
changes.

This patch resets the refresh rate differential measurement whenever a
new nearest resolution is discovered.  This fixes two error cases;
first, wherein the first mode's refresh rate differential is never
calculated and second, when the closest refresh rate from a previous
nearest resolution is erroneously preserved.

5a0e3ad6af 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.

6b745b6fd0 fbdev: make the best-fit section of fb_find_mode return the closest matching mode
Currently, if a perfect match in terms of resolution is not found,
fb_find_mode() only looks for a best-fit mode among modes with a higher
resolution than the one requested.  Thus, if the user requests a resolution
higher than the largest supported one, they are dropped to the default mode
(usually a low resolution one).

Change this behaviour so that all valid video modes are considered when
looking for a best-fit mode, while still preferring modes with a higher
resolution.

545c442333 fix radeonfb regression with Xpress 200m 5955
Fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9762

Framebuffer is ok only with default parameters only (it is 1280x800-8@60).  If
parameters are video=radeonfb:1280x800-32@60 then xres, yres and xres_virtual
are ok but yres_virtual is 1024.  It can be corrected by fbset utility so I
think it can be corrected in the driver code also.

Steps to reproduce: video=radeonfb:1280x800-32@60 or
video=radeonfb:1280x800-16@60

Add 1280x800 mode into modedb

Currently, if the refresh rate is not specified, fb_find_mode() returns the
first known video mode with the requested resolution, which provides no
guarantees wrt the refresh rate.  Change this so that the mode with the
highest refresh rate is returned when the driver provides a custom video mode
database and the monitor limits, and a mode with the safe 60 Hz refresh rate
otherwise.

cd354f1ae7 [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

dcfe2666ff [PATCH] fb_videomode_to_var: reset virtual screen parameters
fb_videomode_to_var(): reset the virtual screen parameters when converting
from an fb_videomode to an fb_var_screeninfo.

Without this the old virtual screen parameters are kept.  Hence you cannot
switch to a video mode with a lower resolution on frame buffer devices that
don't support virtual screens and panning, as values are not supposed to be
rounded down when they don't fit.

I also reordered the assignments to match the order of the individual members.

003cfc0c56 [PATCH] fbdev: Add helper to get an appropriate initial mode
Add new helper, fb_find_best_display(), which will search the modelist for the
best mode for the attached display.  This requires an EDID block that is
converted to struct fb_monspecs and a private modelist.  The search will be
done in this manner:

- if 1st detailed timing is preferred, use that
- else if dimensions of the display are known, use that to estimate xres and
- else if modelist has detailed timings, use the first detailed timing
- else, use the very first entry from the modelist

8fb6567e34 [PATCH] fbdev: fix the fb_find_nearest_mode() function
Currently the fb_find_nearest_mode() function finds a mode with screen
resolution closest to that described by the 'var' argument and with some
arbitrary refresh rate (eg.  in the following sequence of refresh rates: 70 60
53 85 75, 53 is selected).

This patch fixes the function so that it looks for the closest mode as far as
both resolution and refresh rate are concerned.  The function's first argument
is changed to fb_videomode so that the refresh rate can be specified by the
caller, as fb_var_screeninfo doesn't have any fields that could directly hold
this data.

96fe6a2109 [PATCH] fbdev: Add VESA Coordinated Video Timings (CVT) support
The Coordinated Video Timings (CVT) is the latest standard approved by VESA
concerning video timings generation.  It addresses the limitation of GTF which
is designed mainly for CRT displays.  CRT's have a high blanking requirement
(as much as 25% of the horizontal frame length) which artificially increases
the pixelclock.  Digital displays, on the other hand, needs to conserve the
pixelclock as much as possible.  The GTF also does not take into account the
different aspect ratios in its calculation.

The new function added is fb_find_mode_cvt().  It is called by fb_find_mode()
if it recognizes a mode option string formatted for CVT.  The format is:

<xres>x<yres>[M][R][-<bpp>][<at-sign><refresh>][i][m]

The 'M' tells the function to calculate using CVT.  On it's own, it will
compute a timing for CRT displays at 60Hz.  If the 'R' is specified, 'reduced
blanking' computation will be used, best for flatpanels.  The 'i' and the 'm'
is for 'interlaced mode' and 'with margins' respectively.

To determine if CVT was used, check for dmesg for something like this:

CVT Mode - <pix>M<n>[-R], ie: .480M3-R  (800x600 reduced blanking)

where: pix - product of xres and yres, in MB
    M   - is a CVT mode
    n   - the aspect ratio (3 - 4:3; 4 - 5:4; 9 - 16:9, 15:9; A - 16:10)
    -R   - reduced blanking

db6778db7e [PATCH] nvidiafb: Fix initial display corruption on certain laptops
Reported by:Vincent Fortier (Bugzilla Bug 4768)

"At boot time the screen appears moved to the mid right portion of the actual
video pannel making the end of the line appears at the left edge...  It simply
looks like moved half way to the right"

His particular hardware has a display with an unusual dimension (1920x1200) but
unfortunately has no EDID block. None of the entries in the global mode
database is correct for this particular display, and it particularly has
difficulty scaling up 640x480 (the default startup mode of nvidiafb) to
1920x1200 which causes the above described problem.

1, Add 1920x1200 to the global mode database.

2. Let nvidiafb base the startup mode from the flatpanel dimensions only if the
  EDID block is absent, no boot mode parameter is specified by the user, and
  a flatpanel/LCD display is attached.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
