Add the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as base
Import the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as OPNFV kvm base.
It's from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-4.1.y-rt and
the base is:
commit 0917f823c59692d751951bf5ea699a2d1e2f26a2
Author: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>

Prepare v4.1.3-rt3
Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>
We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We
should apply another opnfv project repo in future.

In + recent kernels, it has failed to function at all when + compiled for SMP. I've fixed that problem, and after + taking a fresh look at interrupts in general, greatly + reduced the number of places where they're fiddled + with. Done some heavy testing and it looks very good. + The driver now makes use of the __initfunc() and + __initdata macros to save about 4k of kernel memory. + Once again, the same code works for both 2.0.xx and + 2.1.xx kernels. + +UPDATE NEWS: version 1.32 - 28 Mar 98 + + Removed the check for legal IN2000 hardware versions: + It appears that the driver works fine with serial + EPROMs (the 8-pin chip that defines hardware rev) as + old as 2.1, so we'll assume that all cards are OK. + +UPDATE NEWS: version 1.31 - 6 Jul 97 + + Fixed a bug that caused incorrect SCSI status bytes to be + returned from commands sent to LUNs greater than 0. This + means that CDROM changers work now! Fixed a bug in the + handling of command-line arguments when loaded as a module. + Also put all the header data in in2000.h where it belongs. + There are no longer any differences between this driver in + the 2.1.xx source tree and the 2.0.xx tree, as of 2.0.31 + and 2.1.45 (or is it .46?) - this makes things much easier + for me... + +UPDATE NEWS: version 1.30 - 14 Oct 96 + + Fixed a bug in the code that sets the transfer direction + bit (DESTID_DPD in the WD_DESTINATION_ID register). There + are quite a few SCSI commands that do a write-to-device; + now we deal with all of them correctly. Thanks to Joerg + Dorchain for catching this one. + +UPDATE NEWS: version 1.29 - 24 Sep 96 + + The memory-mapped hardware on the card is now accessed via + the 'readb()' and 'readl()' macros - required by the new + memory management scheme in the 2.1.x kernel series. + As suggested by Andries Brouwer, 'bios_param()' no longer + forces an artificial 1023 track limit on drives. Also + removed some kludge-code left over from struggles with + older (buggy) compilers. + +UPDATE NEWS: version 1.28 - 07 May 96 + + Tightened up the "interrupts enabled/disabled" discipline + in 'in2000_queuecommand()' and maybe 1 or 2 other places. + I _think_ it may have been a little too lax, causing an + occasional crash during full moon. A fully functional + /proc interface is now in place - if you want to play + with it, start by doing 'cat /proc/scsi/in2000/0'. You + can also use it to change a few run-time parameters on + the fly, but it's mostly for debugging. The curious + should take a good look at 'in2000_proc_info()' in the + in2000.c file to get an understanding of what it's all + about; I figure that people who are really into it will + want to add features suited to their own needs... + Also, sync is now DISABLED by default. + +UPDATE NEWS: version 1.27 - 10 Apr 96 + + Fixed a well-hidden bug in the adaptive-disconnect code + that would show up every now and then during extreme + heavy loads involving 2 or more simultaneously active + devices. Thanks to Joe Mack for keeping my nose to the + grindstone on this one. + +UPDATE NEWS: version 1.26 - 07 Mar 96 + + 1.25 had a nasty bug that bit people with swap partitions + and tape drives. Also, in my attempt to guess my way + through Intel assembly language, I made an error in the + inline code for IO writes. Made a few other changes and + repairs - this version (fingers crossed) should work well. + +UPDATE NEWS: version 1.25 - 05 Mar 96 + + Kernel 1.3.70 interrupt mods added; old kernels still OK. + Big help from Bill Earnest and David Willmore on speed + testing and optimizing: I think there's a real improvement + in this area. + New! User-friendly command-line interface for LILO and + module loading - the old method is gone, so you'll need + to read the comments for 'setup_strings' near the top + of in2000.c. For people with CDROM's or other devices + that have a tough time with sync negotiation, you can + now selectively disable sync on individual devices - + search for the 'nosync' keyword in the command-line + comments. Some of you disable the BIOS on the card, which + caused the auto-detect function to fail; there is now a + command-line option to force detection of a ROM-less card. + +UPDATE NEWS: version 1.24a - 24 Feb 96 + + There was a bug in the synchronous transfer code. Only + a few people downloaded before I caught it - could have + been worse. + +UPDATE NEWS: version 1.24 - 23 Feb 96 + + Lots of good changes. Advice from Bill Earnest resulted + in much better detection of cards, more efficient usage + of the fifo, and (hopefully) faster data transfers. The + jury is still out on speed - I hope it's improved some. + One nifty new feature is a cool way of doing disconnect/ + reselect. The driver defaults to what I'm calling + 'adaptive disconnect' - meaning that each command is + evaluated individually as to whether or not it should be + run with the option to disconnect/reselect (if the device + chooses), or as a "SCSI-bus-hog". When several devices + are operating simultaneously, disconnects are usually an + advantage. In a single device system, or if only 1 device + is being accessed, transfers usually go faster if disconnects + are not allowed. + + + +The default arguments (you get these when you don't give an 'in2000' +command-line argument, or you give a blank argument) will cause +the driver to do adaptive disconnect, synchronous transfers, and a +minimum of debug messages. If you want to fool with the options, +search for 'setup_strings' near the top of the in2000.c file and +check the 'hostdata->args' section in in2000.h - but be warned! Not +everything is working yet (some things will never work, probably). +I believe that disabling disconnects (DIS_NEVER) will allow you +to choose a LEVEL2 value higher than 'L2_BASIC', but I haven't +spent a lot of time testing this. You might try 'ENABLE_CLUSTERING' +to see what happens: my tests showed little difference either way. +There's also a define called 'DEFAULT_SX_PER'; this sets the data +transfer speed for the asynchronous mode. I've put it at 500 ns +despite the fact that the card could handle settings of 376 or +252, because higher speeds may be a problem with poor quality +cables or improper termination; 500 ns is a compromise. You can +choose your own default through the command-line with the +'period' keyword. + + +------------------------------------------------ +*********** DIP switch settings ************** +------------------------------------------------ + + sw1-1 sw1-2 BIOS address (hex) + ----------------------------------------- + off off C8000 - CBFF0 + on off D8000 - DBFF0 + off on D0000 - D3FF0 + on on BIOS disabled + + sw1-3 sw1-4 IO port address (hex) + ------------------------------------ + off off 220 - 22F + on off 200 - 20F + off on 110 - 11F + on on 100 - 10F + + sw1-5 sw1-6 sw1-7 Interrupt + ------------------------------ + off off off 15 + off on off 14 + off off on 11 + off on on 10 + on - - disabled + + sw1-8 function depends on BIOS version.
