[ Upstream commit24d48a61f2] Commit '3d035f580699 ("drivers/char/hpet.c: allow user controlled mmap for user processes")' introduced a new kernel command line parameter hpet_mmap, that is required to expose the memory map of the HPET registers to user-space. Unfortunately the kernel command line parameter 'hpet_mmap' is broken and never takes effect due to missing '=' character in the __setup() code of hpet_mmap_enable. Before this patch: dmesg output with the kernel command line parameter hpet_mmap=1 [ 0.204152] HPET mmap disabled dmesg output with the kernel command line parameter hpet_mmap=0 [ 0.204192] HPET mmap disabled After this patch: dmesg output with the kernel command line parameter hpet_mmap=1 [ 0.203945] HPET mmap enabled dmesg output with the kernel command line parameter hpet_mmap=0 [ 0.204652] HPET mmap disabled Fixes:3d035f5806("drivers/char/hpet.c: allow user controlled mmap for user processes") Signed-off-by: Buland Singh <bsingh@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
