Implement framebuffer I/O helpers, such as fb_read*() and fb_write*(), in the architecture's <asm/fb.h> header file or the generic one. The common case has been the use of regular I/O functions, such as __raw_readb() or memset_io(). A few architectures used plain system- memory reads and writes. Sparc used helpers for its SBus. The architectures that used special cases provide the same code in their __raw_*() I/O helpers. So the patch replaces this code with the __raw_*() functions and moves it to <asm-generic/fb.h> for all architectures. v8: * remove garbage after commit-message tags v6: * fix fb_readq()/fb_writeq() on 64-bit mips (kernel test robot) v5: * include <linux/io.h> in <asm-generic/fb>; fix s390 build v4: * ia64, loongarch, sparc64: add fb_mem*() to arch headers to keep current semantics (Arnd) v3: * implement all architectures with generic helpers * support reordering and native byte order (Geert, Arnd) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Tested-by: Sui Jingfeng <suijingfeng@loongson.cn> Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20230512102444.5438-7-tzimmermann@suse.de
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
