2009-10-30Documentation: ABI: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/ topology filesAlex Chiang
Add brief descriptions for the following sysfs files: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/core_id /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/core_siblings /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/core_siblings_list /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/physical_package_id /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/thread_siblings /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/thread_siblings_list The descriptions in Documentation/cputopology.txt weren't very informative, so I attempted a better description based on code reading and hopeful guessing. Updated Documentation/cputopology.txt with the better descriptions and fixed some style issues.

2009-10-30Driver core: allow certain drivers prohibit bind/unbind via sysfsDmitry Torokhov
Platform drivers registered via platform_driver_probe() can be bound to devices only once, upon registration, because discard their probe() routines to save memory. Unbinding the driver through sysfs 'unbind' leaves the device stranded and confuses users so let's not create bind and unbind attributes for such drivers.

2009-10-30Driver core: fix driver_register() return valueStas Sergeev
In this patch: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=16dc42e018c2868211b4928f20a957c0c216126c the check was added for another driver to already claim the same device on the same bus. But the returned error code was wrong: to modprobe, the -EEXIST means that _this_ driver is already installed. It therefore doesn't produce the needed error message when _another_ driver is trying to register for the same device. Returning -EBUSY fixes the problem.

2009-10-29cpuidle: always return with interrupts enabledKevin Hilman
In the case where cpuidle_idle_call() returns before changing state due to a need_resched(), it was returning with IRQs disabled. The idle path assumes that the platform specific idle code returns with interrupts enabled (although this too is undocumented AFAICT) and on ARM we have a WARN_ON(!(irqs_disabled()) when returning from the idle loop, so the user-visible effects were only a warning since interrupts were eventually re-enabled later. On x86, this same problem exists, but there is no WARN_ON() to detect it. As on ARM, the interrupts are eventually re-enabled, so I'm not sure of any actual bugs triggered by this. It's primarily a correctness/consistency fix. This patch ensures IRQs are (re)enabled before returning.

2009-10-29checkpatch: fix __attribute__ matchingAndy Whitcroft
In the following code, union thread_union init_thread_union __attribute__((__section__(".data.init_task"))) = { INIT_THREAD_INFO(init_task) }; There is a non-conforming declaration. It should really be like the following, union thread_union init_thread_union __attribute__((__section__(".data.init_task"))) = { INIT_THREAD_INFO(init_task) }; However, checkpatch doesn't catch this right now because it doesn't correctly evaluate the "__attribute__". It is not at all clear that we care what preceeds an assignment style attribute when we find the open brace. Relax the test so we do not need to check the __attribute__.

2009-10-29checkpatch: fix false errors due to macro concatenationAndy Whitcroft
The macro concatenation (##) sequence can cause false errors when checking macro's. Checkpatch doesn't currently know about the operator. For example this line, + entry = (struct ftrace_raw_##call *)raw_data; \ is correct but it produces the following error, ERROR: need consistent spacing around '*' (ctx:WxB) + entry = (struct ftrace_raw_##call *)raw_data;\ ^ The line above doesn't have any spacing problems, and if you remove the macro concatenation sequence checkpatch doesn't give any errors. Extend identifier handling to include ## concatenation within the definition of an identifier.

2009-10-29checkpatch: correctly stop scanning at the bottom of a hunkAndy Whitcroft
We are allowing context scanning checks to apply against the first line of context outside at the end of the hunk. This can lead to false matches to patch names leading to various perl warnings. Correctly stop at the bottom of the hunk.
