2009-03-24Dynamic debug: allow simple quoting of wordsGreg Banks
Allow simple quoting of words in the dynamic debug control language. This allows more natural specification when using the control language to match against printk formats, e.g #echo -n 'format "Setting node for non-present cpu" +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control instead of #echo -n 'format Setting\040node\040for\040non-present\040cpu +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control Adjust the dynamic debug documention to describe that and provide a new example. Adjust the existing examples in the documentation to reflect the current whitespace escaping behaviour when reading the control file. Fix some minor documentation trailing whitespace.

2009-03-24dynamic debug: combine dprintk and dynamic printkJason Baron
This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'. The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface, (an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function, file, module, format string, and line number. for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack': echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control to disable them: echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

2009-03-24UIO: Add name attributes for mappings and port regionsHans J. Koch
If a UIO device has several memory mappings, it can be difficult for userspace to find the right one. The situation becomes even worse if the UIO driver can handle different versions of a card that have different numbers of mappings. Benedikt Spranger has such cards and pointed this out to me. Thanks, Bene! To address this problem, this patch adds "name" sysfs attributes for each mapping. Userspace can use these to clearly identify each mapping. The name string is optional. If a driver doesn't set it, an empty string will be returned, so this patch won't break existing drivers. The same problem exists for port region information, so a "name" attribute is added there, too. Signed-off-by: Hans J. Koch <hjk@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2009-03-24USB: usbmon: Add binary API v1Pete Zaitcev

2009-03-18ipv6: Fix incorrect disable_ipv6 behaviorBrian Haley
Fix the behavior of allowing both sysctl and addrconf_dad_failure() to set the disable_ipv6 parameter without any bad side-effects. If DAD fails and accept_dad > 1, we will still set disable_ipv6=1, but then instead of allowing an RA to add an address then immediately fail DAD, we simply don't allow the address to be added in the first place. This also lets the user set this flag and disable all IPv6 addresses on the interface, or on the entire system. Signed-off-by: Brian Haley <brian.haley@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
