This announces the release of Linux/68K-2.0.4
Below is a list of the major changes since the 2.0 release, I'm a bit
in a hurry right now so I might have forgotten some of them. Most
noticeable is probably that the old keyboard handling style has been
re-instated and the AT codes are dead and burried.
Chris Lawrence:
- Updated gvp11.c to the level of 1.2.13pl10.
Geert Uytterhoeven:
- Back to the old way of keyboard handling.
Hans-Joachim Widmaier:
- More patches for the affs:
o Allows mounting of DC filesystems read only
o Fixes the annoying "no-read-only bug" (shame on me!)
o Fixes another bug I discovered yesterday (after a failed mount
attempt, the blocksize table entry wasn't reinitialized)
o Updated documentation
Leland Lucius:
- More patches for the z2ram device
Andreas Schwab:
- Fix for do_signal
- drivers/block/ataflop.c: fix isrfunc parameter passing
Benjamin Lorenz:
- Added the missing defines for atari_acsi.h
Matin Mitchell:
- Fixed some of the missing changes for the switch of the
isrfunc-parameters, for both Atari and Amiga.
Myself:
- Updated gvp11.c and a2091.c to use the Zorro functions for
detection and configuration.
- gvp11.c now automatically the SCSI-clock of the GVP controller and
uses the apropriate parameters for the wd33c93 driver (please test
this as I have no way of checking if it actually works).
- Updated the three wd33c93 based drivers to set the irq-level in the
Scsi_Host structure so now wd33c93.c uses [en,dis]able_irq() rather
than cli()/sti(). It seems to help a little on the serial
performance on the internal amiga serial port.
- Speed optimizations of the generic memcpy and page-sized
memset's. We do a lot of page-sized memset's in the kernel code so
this should make the kernel a little faster. Thanks to Richard
Hirst for ideas and Andreas for improvements.
This is it for today, can find the new kernel at SunSITE.auc.dk under
/pub/os/linux/680x0/v2.0 (notice the directory).
