[ Upstream commit 24d48a61f2666630da130cc2ec2e526eacf229e3 ]
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

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
