2007-02-189p: implement optional loose read cacheEric Van Hensbergen
While cacheing is generally frowned upon in the 9p world, it has its place -- particularly in situations where the remote file system is exclusive and/or read-only. The vacfs views of venti content addressable store are a real-world instance of such a situation. To facilitate higher performance for these workloads (and eventually use the fscache patches), we have enabled a "loose" cache mode which does not attempt to maintain any form of consistency on the page-cache or dcache. This results in over two orders of magnitude performance improvement for cacheable block reads in the Bonnie benchmark. The more aggressive use of the dcache also seems to improve metadata operational performance. Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>

2007-02-13i2c: Add driver suspend/resume/shutdown supportDavid Brownell
Driver model updates for the I2C core: - Add new suspend(), resume(), and shutdown() methods. Use them in the standard driver model style; document them. - Minor doc updates to highlight zero-initialized fields in drivers, and the driver model accessors for "clientdata". If any i2c drivers were previously using the old suspend/resume calls in "struct driver", they were getting warning messages ... and will now no longer work. Other than that, this patch changes no behaviors; and it lets I2C drivers use conventional PM and shutdown support.

When a machine check event is detected (including a AMD RevF threshold overflow event) allow to run a "trigger" program. This allows user space to react to such events sooner. The trigger is configured using a new trigger entry in the machinecheck sysfs interface. It is currently shared between all CPUs.

From: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Even though the devices claimed by sony_acpi.c can not be hot-plugged, the driver registration infrastructure allows the .add() and .remove() methods to be called at any time while the driver is registered. So remove __init and __exit from them.

2007-02-13[POWERPC] mpc5200 device tree bindings refinementGrant Likely
Much needed refinement of mpc5200 device tree binding specifications. Short list: - drop mpc52xx designator; only two supported chips exist, 5200 and 5200b. It's premature to refer to them as '52xx'. - Specify optional 'model' and 'revision' properties in the soc5200 node - Specify reqiured 'cell-index' property to identify between multiple SOC devices of the same type. (Useful for arbitrating shared register access) - Specify optional 'port-number' property for adjusting the logical serial port assignments. - Specify optional 'has-wdt' property for gpt0 node. - Add system-frequency property to soc5200 node Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
