2008-12-19ALSA: hda - Add no-jd model for IDT 92HD73xxTakashi Iwai
Added the model without the jack-detection for some desktops that have really no jack-detection. The recent driver caused regressions regarding the sound output on such machines. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
2008-12-18ALSA: hda - Fix silent HP output on D975Takashi Iwai
Some desktops seems to have no HP/mic jack detection on the front panel, which results in the silent output in the recent driver, because the driver mutes the output (to save power) when no plug is detected. This patch adds a new model that disables the jack-detection. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

2008-12-01epoll: introduce resource usage limitsDavide Libenzi
It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created, named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration points: max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a 256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000. That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be enough too. This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already listed, so that should be ok.

2008-11-24ALSA: hda: Added an ALC888 model entry for Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Xa3530Vincent Petry
This patch fixes the bug 0004240: ALC888 - Intel HDA - Headphone Controlling. It is made against the 2008-11-23 snapshot. Added Realtek ALC888 model entry for the Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Xa3530 laptop. It has 4 jacks: HP out, Mic-in, Line-in and Line-out/Side/SPDIF (this one is on the laptop side, the other ones are on the rear). Model detection works. Headphone jack sense works now. Front mic works now, was same as Acer Aspire 4930G. Added channel mode from 2 to 8 channels. In 2ch and 4ch modes, the front is also sent to the Line-out/side jack for convenience instead of just muting the Line-out/side jack like other models do. When using the Mic-in jack as CLFE, the sound is very low (bug?). To work it around, in 6ch mode the CLFE channel is duplicated to the Line-out/side jack because this one has a better amp.

2008-11-21ALSA: hda - make laptop-eapd model back for AD1986ATakashi Iwai

This patch adds back the old laptop-eapd model, and create a new model "samsung" for the new one specific to Samsung laptops with automatic mic selection feature.

2008-11-12LIS3LV02Dx Accelerometer driverPavel Machek
This adds a driver to the accelerometer sensor found in several HP laptops (under the commercial names of "HP Mobile Data Protection System 3D" and "HP 3D driveguard"). It tries to have more or less the same interfaces as the hdaps and other accelerometer drivers: in sysfs and as a joystick. This driver was first written by Yan Burman. Eric Piel has updated it and slimed it up (including the removal of an interface to access to the free-fall feature of the sensor because it is not reliable enough for now). Pavel Machek removed few more features and switched locking from semaphore to mutex. Several people have contributed to the database of the axes.
