2008-12-19ALSA: hda - Add probe_only optionTakashi Iwai
Added probe_only module option to hd-audio driver. This option specifies whether the driver creates and initializes the codec-parser after probing. When this option is set, the driver skips the codec parsing and initialization but gives you proc and other accesses. It's useful to see the initial codec state for debugging. The default of this value is off, so the default behavior is as same as before. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

2008-12-19ACPI: fix 2.6.28 acpi.debug_level regressionBjorn Helgaas
acpi_early_init() was changed to over-write the cmdline param, making it really inconvenient to set debug flags at boot-time. Also, This sets the default level to "info", which is what all the ACPI drivers use. So to enable messages from drivers, you only have to supply the "layer" (a.k.a. "component"). For non-"info" ACPI core and ACPI interpreter messages, you have to supply both level and layer masks, as before.

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>
2008-12-17USB: fix comment about endianness of descriptorsPhil Endecott
This patch fixes a comment and clarifies the documentation about the endianness of descriptors. The current policy is that descriptors will be little-endian at the API even on big-endian systems; however the /proc/bus/usb API predates this policy and presents descriptors with some multibyte fields byte-swapped.

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.
