Here's a new version of the AMD Elan patch, against 2.4.18-pre4. Please
apply.
Description:
The following patch for linux-2.4.18-pre3 fixes problems with the AMD Elan
CPUs which are popular x86 devices for embedded applications.
Content of the patch:
---------------------
1. add a new processor type "Elan" in "Processor type
and features", with CONFIG_MELAN, is introduced
2. fix the A20 code which was broken since the cleanup
in 2.4.15
3. correct the ioport resource registration for Elans
(standard kernel reserves ports which are special
function registers on Elans)
4. fix UART transmit bug
5. fix timer 0 frequency to correct the clock
Details:
--------
1. As discussed on LKML the Elan processors have some
"features" which need to be fixed but should not live
in a standard kernel. Therefore, we propose a new
configuration option CONFIG_MELAN. Ideas for better
places for this option in the configuration tree are
welcome.
2. In 2.4.15 H. Peter Anvin ported the A20 gate code from
syslinux to the kernel, which is much more sophisticated
than the code we had before. This leads to the Elan
processors not booting any more (they did before without
any problem, but that was more luck than intention). If
you try to boot kernels newer than 2.4.14 the system
reboots right in the middle of the initialisation
sequence. As the Elans don't have a keyboard controller
a special A20 gate sequence is added according to the
config option introduced in 1.
3. Due to the fact that the ports of the PIC of the original
PC are mirrored to several adresses Linux normally reserves
the areas 0x20..0x3f and 0xa0..0xbf for pic1 and pic2,
although the PICs use only the first two adresses of each
block. This part of the patch uses only the "real" adresses,
(0x20,0x21 / 0xa0,0xa1) as the Elan processors have special
function registers in these blocks for the integrated
peripherals.
4. The on-chip serial interface has a bug: the UART_LSR_THRE
bit is delayed one bit clock after the interrupt line is
asserted, i.e. if the serial port is running at 1200 bps, and
the tranmitter becomes empty and causes an interupt, the
interrupt is signalled about a millisecond (1/1200second)
_before_ the THRE bit is set. This means that when the
interrupt handler is entered after the interrupt, the THRE
bit is still clear, the handler believes that there is
nothing to be done and returns.
5. A normal PC has a basic frequency for the system timer 0
of 1.19318 MHz, whereas the Elans have 1.1892 MHz due to the
fact that all clocks are derived from a single oscillator.
Without the patch the clock is wrong.
