[PATCH 0/3] Improve MIPS Magnum support

[Finn Thain]

A few minor patches are needed to more easily boot a MIPS Magnum build
under 'qemu-system-mips64el -M magnum'. This series fixes a build failure
in the g364fb driver and modifies jazz_defconfig for use with QEMU.

Note that QEMU's dp8393x implementation has bugs, one of which prevents
the Linux jazzsonic driver from probing the chip. I have fixed the bugs
that I know of in a series of patches at,
https://github.com/fthain/qemu/commits/sonic


Finn Thain (3):
  fbdev/g364fb: Fix build failure
  mips/jazz: Remove redundant settings and shrink jazz_defconfig
  mips/jazz: Update jazz_defconfig for MIPS Magnum

[PATCH 2/3] mips/jazz: Remove redundant settings and shrink jazz_defconfig

[Finn Thain]

Remove some redundant assignments, that have no effect on
'make jazz_defconfig':

CONFIG_INET_XFRM_MODE_TRANSPORT=m
CONFIG_INET_XFRM_MODE_TUNNEL=m
CONFIG_CRYPTO_HMAC=y

Also drop the settings relating to crypto, wireless, advanced
networking etc. The Kconfig defaults for these options are fine.

This reduces the size of vmlinux so it can be launched by
"NetBSD/arc Bootstrap, Revision 1.1", which is conveniently available
on NetBSD/arc 5.1 ISO images.

[PATCH 3/3] mips/jazz: Update jazz_defconfig for MIPS Magnum

[Finn Thain]

Enable some options for machine type, framebuffer, serial controller and
ATA interfaces.

This allows a jazz_defconfig build to work on the emulated MIPS Magnum
machine provided by qemu-system-mips64el.

Signed-off-by: Finn Thain <fthain@telegraphics.com.au>
---
This patch enables CONFIG_FB_G364. This depends upon the build fix at
the beginning of this patch series.

This commit is the kernel 'git origin' import, not the proper reference.

The actual change is between v2.5.17/2.5.19:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git/diff/drivers/video/g364fb.c?id=b30e6e183a728923267
Date: 2002-05-22 07:52:33...

The same commit introduced the changes in g364fb_cursor(), which was
implemented previous to v2.4.0 so it is hard to follow from there.

Nobody complains during 18 years so I doubt anyone care that
g364fb_cursor() is removed.
And by removing it, you improve the kernel quality, so:

More likely, it was noticed by those without the skills or time to get it 
fixed upstream.

Those with the hardware skills and platform knowledge to be affected by an 
obscure bug aren't necessarily also capable of fixing a kernel bug, 
sending a patch upstream and getting it past code review.

Getting a patch into the Linux kernel is itself a lot of work, unless 
you've had years of experience with that constantly changing process 
(which varies significantly between subsystems).

Kernel developers are only human and do accidentally introduce breakage in 
their work (as contributors) while ironically (as reviewers) they raise 
the bar for random fixes from users not versed in the 10000+ lines of 
Documentation/process/*.rst

Broken code does not mean zero potential users or zero frustrated users 
yet I often hear kernel developers disingenuously claim that it does.
They have an incentive to make that claim and often there's no-one reading 
the mailing lists to push back.

I think the driver was broken before that point. I didn't compile it, but 
it seems that "xres" still has no declaration.

BTW, is it wise to cite a sha-1 that doesn't exist in mainline?

$ git show b30e6e183a728923267
fatal: ambiguous argument 'b30e6e183a728923267': unknown revision or path 
not in the working tree.

I'd prefer to use a tag like this,
References: https://git.kernel.org/tglx/history/c/b30e6e183a728923267

FWIW, if you search for "tglx.history" in git log, you can find other 
stuff, like "Histroy Tree:" [sic] and "History-tree:". I don't know what 
the canonical form is.

Right. The .fb_cursor method is optional (not all framebuffers have a 
hardware cursor).

In the past I've seen other reviewers of other patches say the same thing 
("Please remove Fixes: Linux 2.6.12-rc2"). I don't know why.

I used that tag because it indicates that the patch can be backported at 
least as far as the stated commit. Certainly the bug exists in Linux 
2.6.12-rc2, so the "Fixes" tag is meaningful in that sense.

More likely, it was noticed by those without the skills or time to get it 
fixed upstream.

Those with the hardware skills and platform knowledge to be affected by an 
obscure bug aren't necessarily also capable of fixing a kernel bug, 
sending a patch upstream and getting it past code review.

Getting a patch into the Linux kernel is itself a lot of work, unless 
you've had years of experience with that constantly changing process 
(which varies significantly between subsystems).

Kernel developers are only human and do accidentally introduce breakage in 
their work (as contributors) while ironically (as reviewers) they raise 
the bar for random fixes from users not versed in the 10000+ lines of 
Documentation/process/*.rst

Broken code does not mean zero potential users or zero frustrated users 
yet I often hear kernel developers disingenuously claim that it does.
They have an incentive to make that claim and often there's no-one reading 
the mailing lists to push back.

I think the driver was broken before that point. I didn't compile it, but 
it seems that "xres" still has no declaration.

BTW, is it wise to cite a sha-1 that doesn't exist in mainline?

$ git show b30e6e183a728923267
fatal: ambiguous argument 'b30e6e183a728923267': unknown revision or path 
not in the working tree.

I'd prefer to use a tag like this,
References: https://git.kernel.org/tglx/history/c/b30e6e183a728923267

FWIW, if you search for "tglx.history" in git log, you can find other 
stuff, like "Histroy Tree:" [sic] and "History-tree:". I don't know what 
the canonical form is.

Right. The .fb_cursor method is optional (not all framebuffers have a 
hardware cursor).

In the past I've seen other reviewers of other patches say the same thing 
("Please remove Fixes: Linux 2.6.12-rc2"). I don't know why.

I used that tag because it indicates that the patch can be backported at 
least as far as the stated commit. Certainly the bug exists in Linux 
2.6.12-rc2, so the "Fixes" tag is meaningful in that sense.

I used that tag because it indicates that the patch can be backported at

2.6.12-rc2, so the "Fixes" tag is meaningful in that sense.

But broken code is also bad example of code. The removed code is still
buried in the git tree.

I didn't want to suggest referencing an external sha1, but rather the full link.
Anyway I later figured out your reference isn't incorrect, this code
was really added in commit 1da177e4c3f4.

Maybe you can use:
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 (code modified earlier during v2.5.17-v2.5.19)

Anyway I'm bike-shedding, whichever reference you choose will be fine, even
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")

But broken code is also bad example of code. The removed code is still
buried in the git tree.

I didn't want to suggest referencing an external sha1, but rather the full link.
Anyway I later figured out your reference isn't incorrect, this code
was really added in commit 1da177e4c3f4.

Maybe you can use:
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 (code modified earlier during v2.5.17-v2.5.19)

Anyway I'm bike-shedding, whichever reference you choose will be fine, even
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")

Some bugs may never be noticed and yet everyone assumes that they are 
present (hence "defence in depth" and all of the complexity that entails).

My complaint was really about broken code being used as a rationale to 
remove additional code (whatever its quality).

For example, some maintainers would say, "18 years unnoticed... don't stop 
at g364fb_cursor(), remove the entire driver".
