* enable i915 driver from Linux 3.14.5
* tested for generation 5 till 8 GPUs
The driver can be configured at run-time via the config ROM. Every
connector of the graphic card can be configured separately using the
following syntax
<config>
<connector name="LVDS-11" width="1280" height="800" enabled="true"/>
</config>
Also, when enabled within the intel framebuffer driver configuration like
the following
<config buffered="yes"/>
a simple ram dataspace is propagated to the client and the driver
itselfs copies from that buffer to the framebuffer triggered via refresh
calls. This option is useful to alleviate tearing effects.
The driver distributes all available connectors of the graphic card and
their supported resolutions via a report. It looks like follows
<connectors>
<connector name="LVDS-11" connected="1">
<mode width="1280" height="800" hz="60"/>
...
</connector>
...
</connectors>
The driver distributes the report only if this is stated within its
configuration, like the following
<config>
<report connectors="yes"/>
</config>
Fix#1764
Instead of holding SPEC-variable dependent files and directories inline
within the repository structure, move them into 'spec' subdirectories
at the corresponding levels, e.g.:
repos/base/include/spec
repos/base/mk/spec
repos/base/lib/mk/spec
repos/base/src/core/spec
...
Moreover, this commit removes the 'platform' directories. That term was
used in an overloaded sense. All SPEC-relative 'platform' directories are
now named 'spec'. Other files, like for instance those related to the
kernel/architecture specific startup library, where moved from 'platform'
directories to explicit, more meaningful places like e.g.: 'src/lib/startup'.
Fix#1673
Run script depending on VFS plugins (i.e., shared objects) like
vfs_jitterentropy.lib.so have to state this dependency rather the actual
binaries linked against libc. The latter introduces a library dependency
that is just not there. For example, the dependency on vfs_jitterentropy
is a result from the config node for libc which automatically loads the
plugin.
With the new run tool, there is no more is_qemu_available function. However,
some scripts still try to use it because only frequently used scripts were
updated by now. The commit replaces the function calls with the new
'have_include power_on/qemu' check.
Ref #1419
This patch changes the top-level directory layout as a preparatory
step for improving the tools for managing 3rd-party source codes.
The rationale is described in the issue referenced below.
