2008-04-24V4L/DVB (7507): saa7134: add analog support for Avermedia A700 cardsMatthias Schwarzott
Add support for composite and s-video inputs on Avermedia DVB-S Pro and DVB-S Hybrid+FM cards (both labled A700) to the saa7134 driver. XC2028 support for Hybrid+FM is still missing.

2008-04-24V4L/DVB (7448): Add support for Kworld ATSC 120Mauro Carvalho Chehab
This board has a s5h1409 demod, plus a xc30x8 tuner (probably, xc3018). This patch adds proper support for radio, video, s-video, composite and ATSC. However, support for radio and video depends on having s5h1409 i2c gate open, otherwise, xc30x8 chip won't be visible. For a better support, some rework is needed on cx88 driver, to allow adding xc30x8 to i2c bus without sending i2c 0 byte reading to 0xc2 address. Thanks to Vanessa Ezekowitz <vanessaezekowitz@gmail.com> for helping to figure out the proper parameters for s5h1409 and the GPIO pins used by each configuration.

I have what looks like a Geovision GV-600 (or 650) card.

The card has sixteen (16) BNC video inputs, four of them on the board itself and twelve on three daughter-cards. It has a single bt878 chip, no tuner and what looks like and audio input. After doing some research I managed to get only eight channels working by forcing card=125 and those DID NOT match channels 0-7 on the card, and no audio. Based on what was working for card=125, I added the card definition block, added a specific muxsel routine and got the card working fully with xawtv, where the sixteen channels show up as Composite0 to Composite15, matching the channel labels in the card and daughter-cards. I have made no efforts yet to get audio working, but would appreciate any pointers. Signed-off-by: Ernesto Hernández-Novich <emhn@usb.ve> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org>

This patch adds support for the following saa7134 xc3028 based boards: 132 -> AVerMedia Cardbus TV/Radio (E506R) [1461:f436] 133 -> AVerMedia Hybrid TV/Radio (A16D) [1461:f936] 134 -> Avermedia M115 [1461:a836] 135 -> Compro VideoMate T750 [185b:c900] This is based on a original patch thanks to Markus Rechberger that added xc3028 gpio init code for the above boards. This patch moves saa7134_tuner_callback to saa7134-cards, originally used only by tda8290 DVB-S boards. The callback was made more generic to support other tuners.

[mszeredi@suse.cz] rewrite and split big patch into managable chunks /proc/mounts in its current form lacks important information: - propagation state - root of mount for bind mounts - the st_dev value used within the filesystem - identifier for each mount and it's parent It also suffers from the following problems: - not easily extendable - ambiguity of mountpoints within a chrooted environment - doesn't distinguish between filesystem dependent and independent options - doesn't distinguish between per mount and per super block options This patch introduces /proc/<pid>/mountinfo which attempts to address all these deficiencies. Code shared between /proc/<pid>/mounts and /proc/<pid>/mountinfo is extracted into separate functions. Thanks to Al Viro for the help in getting the design right.

2008-04-20PCI: Expose PCI VPD through sysfsBen Hutchings
Vital Product Data (VPD) may be exposed by PCI devices in several ways. It is generally unsafe to read this information through the existing interfaces to user-land because of stateful interfaces. This adds: - abstract operations for VPD access (struct pci_vpd_ops) - VPD state information in struct pci_dev (struct pci_vpd) - an implementation of the VPD access method specified in PCI 2.2 (in access.c) - a 'vpd' binary file in sysfs directories for PCI devices with VPD operations defined It adds a probe for PCI 2.2 VPD in pci_scan_device() and release of VPD state in pci_release_dev().

2008-04-20PCI: iommu: iotlb flushingmark gross
This patch is for batching up the flushing of the IOTLB for the DMAR implementation found in the Intel VT-d hardware. It works by building a list of to be flushed IOTLB entries and a bitmap list of which DMAR engine they are from. After either a high water mark (250 accessible via debugfs) or 10ms the list of iova's will be reclaimed and the DMAR engines associated are IOTLB-flushed. This approach recovers 15 to 20% of the performance lost when using the IOMMU for my netperf udp stream benchmark with small packets. It can be disabled with a kernel boot parameter "intel_iommu=strict". Its use does weaken the IOMMU protections a bit.

2008-04-20PCI: remove initial bios sort of PCI devices on x86Greg Kroah-Hartman
We currently keep 2 lists of PCI devices in the system, one in the driver core, and one all on its own. This second list is sorted at boot time, in "BIOS" order, to try to remain compatible with older kernels (2.2 and earlier days). There was also a "nosort" option to turn this sorting off, to remain compatible with even older kernel versions, but that just ends up being what we have been doing from 2.5 days... Unfortunately, the second list of devices is not really ever used to determine the probing order of PCI devices or drivers[1]. That is done using the driver core list instead. This change happened back in the early 2.5 days. Relying on BIOS ording for the binding of drivers to specific device names is problematic for many reasons, and userspace tools like udev exist to properly name devices in a persistant manner if that is needed, no reliance on the BIOS is needed. Matt Domsch and others at Dell noticed this back in 2006, and added a boot option to sort the PCI device lists (both of them) in a breadth-first manner to help remain compatible with the 2.4 order, if needed for any reason. This option is not going away, as some systems rely on them. This patch removes the sorting of the internal PCI device list in "BIOS" mode, as it's not needed at all anymore, and hasn't for many years. I've also removed the PCI flags for this from some other arches that for some reason defined them, but never used them. This should not change the ordering of any drivers or device probing. [1] The old-style pci_get_device and pci_find_device() still used this sorting order, but there are very few drivers that use these functions, as they are deprecated for use in this manner. If for some reason, a driver rely on the order and uses these functions, the breadth-first boot option will resolve any problem.

2008-04-19sysfs: refill attribute buffer when reading from offset 0Dan Williams
Requiring userspace to close and re-open sysfs attributes has been the policy since before 2.6.12. It allows userspace to get a consistent snapshot of kernel state and consume it with incremental reads and seeks. Now, if the file position is zero the kernel assumes userspace wants to see the new value. The application for this change is to allow a userspace RAID metadata handler to check the state of an array without causing any memory allocations. Thus not causing writeback to a raid array that might be blocked waiting for userspace to take action.

2008-04-19Firmware: add iSCSI iBFT SupportKonrad Rzeszutek
Add /sysfs/firmware/ibft/[initiator|targetX|ethernetX] directories along with text properties which export the the iSCSI Boot Firmware Table (iBFT) structure. What is iSCSI Boot Firmware Table? It is a mechanism for the iSCSI tools to extract from the machine NICs the iSCSI connection information so that they can automagically mount the iSCSI share/target. Currently the iSCSI information is hard-coded in the initrd. The /sysfs entries are read-only one-name-and-value fields. The usual set of data exposed is: # for a in `find /sys/firmware/ibft/ -type f -print`; do echo -n "$a: "; cat $a; done /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/target-name: iqn.2007.com.intel-sbx44:storage-10gb /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/nic-assoc: 0 /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/chap-type: 0 /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/lun: 00000000 /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/port: 3260 /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/ip-addr: 192.168.79.116 /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/flags: 3 /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/index: 0 /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/mac: 00:11:25:9d:8b:01 /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/vlan: 0 /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/gateway: 192.168.79.254 /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/origin: 0 /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/subnet-mask: 255.255.252.0 /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/ip-addr: 192.168.77.41 /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/flags: 7 /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/index: 0 /sys/firmware/ibft/initiator/initiator-name: iqn.2007-07.com:konrad.initiator /sys/firmware/ibft/initiator/flags: 3 /sys/firmware/ibft/initiator/index: 0 For full details of the IBFT structure please take a look at: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/systems/support/system_x_pdf/ibm_iscsi_boot_firmware_table_v1.02.pdf [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix build] Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek <konradr@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Mike Christie <michaelc@cs.wisc.edu> Cc: Peter Jones <pjones@redhat.com> Cc: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2008-04-19PM: Handle device registrations during suspend/resumeRafael J. Wysocki
Modify the PM core to protect its data structures, specifically the dpm_active list, from being corrupted if a child of the currently suspending device is registered concurrently with its ->suspend() callback. In that case, since the new device (the child) is added to dpm_active after its parent, the PM core will attempt to suspend it after the parent, which is wrong. Introduce a new member of struct dev_pm_info, called 'sleeping', and use it to check if the parent of the device being added to dpm_active has been suspended, in which case the device registration fails. Also, use 'sleeping' for checking if the ordering of devices on dpm_active is correct. Introduce variable 'all_sleeping' that will be set to 'true' once all devices have been suspended and make new device registrations fail until 'all_sleeping' is reset to 'false', in order to avoid having unsuspended devices around while the system is going into a sleep state. Remove pm_sleep_rwsem which is not necessary any more. Special thanks to Alan Stern for discussions and suggestions that lead to the creation of this patch. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2008-04-19sched, cpuset: customize sched domains, docsHidetoshi Seto
This patch introduces new feature of cpuset - sched domain customization. This version provides a per-cpuset file 'sched_relax_domain_level' that enable us to change the searching range of scheduler, which used to limit how many cpus the scheduler searches at some schedule events, such as wakening task and running out of runqueue.

2008-04-19generic, x86: add tests for prctl PR_GET_TSC and PR_SET_TSCErik Bosman
This patch adds three tests that test whether the PR_GET_TSC and PR_SET_TSC commands have the desirable effect. The tests check whether the control register is updated correctly at context switches and try to discover bugs while enabling/disabling the timestamp counter.
