Introduce the following three sections for these variables: * Environment variables for '*config' * Environment variables for '{allyes/allmod/allno/rand}config' * Environment variables for 'silentoldconfig' Furthermore this puts MENUCONFIG_MODE next to MENUCONFIG_COLOR into a common section "User interface options for 'menuconfig'".

2009-06-07ide: preserve Host Protected Area by default (v2)Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz
From the perspective of most users of recent systems, disabling Host Protected Area (HPA) can break vendor RAID formats, GPT partitions and risks corrupting firmware or overwriting vendor system recovery tools. Unfortunately the original (kernels < 2.6.30) behavior (unconditionally disabling HPA and using full disk capacity) was introduced at the time when the main use of HPA was to make the drive look small enough for the BIOS to allow the system to boot with large capacity drives. Thus to allow the maximum compatibility with the existing setups (using HPA and partitioned with HPA disabled) we automically disable HPA if any partitions overlapping HPA are detected. Additionally HPA can also be disabled using the "nohpa" module parameter (i.e. "ide_core.nohpa=0.0" to disable HPA on /dev/hda). v2: Fix ->resume HPA support.

2009-06-03x86, mce: switch x86 machine check handler to Monarch election.Andi Kleen
On Intel platforms machine check exceptions are always broadcast to all CPUs. This patch makes the machine check handler synchronize all these machine checks, elect a Monarch to handle the event and collect the worst event from all CPUs and then process it first. This has some advantages: - When there is a truly data corrupting error the system panics as quickly as possible. This improves containment of corrupted data and makes sure the corrupted data never hits stable storage. - The panics are synchronized and do not reenter the panic code on multiple CPUs (which currently does not handle this well). - All the errors are reported. Currently it often happens that another CPU happens to do the panic first, but reports useless information (empty machine check) because the real error happened on another CPU which came in later. This is a big advantage on Nehalem where the 8 threads per CPU lead to often the wrong CPU winning the race and dumping useless information on a machine check. The problem also occurs in a less severe form on older CPUs. - The system can detect when no CPUs detected a machine check and shut down the system. This can happen when one CPU is so badly hung that that it cannot process a machine check anymore or when some external agent wants to stop the system by asserting the machine check pin. This follows Intel hardware recommendations. - This matches the recommended error model by the CPU designers. - The events can be output in true severity order - When a panic happens on another CPU it makes sure to be actually be able to process the stop IPI by enabling interrupts. The code is extremly careful to handle timeouts while waiting for other CPUs. It can't rely on the normal timing mechanisms (jiffies, ktime_get) because of its asynchronous/lockless nature, so it uses own timeouts using ndelay() and a "SPINUNIT" The timeout is configurable. By default it waits for upto one second for the other CPUs. This can be also disabled. From some informal testing AMD systems do not see to broadcast machine checks, so right now it's always disabled by default on non Intel CPUs or also on very old Intel systems.

2009-06-02ALSA: hda - Acer Aspire 8930G supportHector Martin
Short story: this laptop has 5.1 built-in speakers which you *really* want to use (the not-so-"sub" woofer is what makes the audio above average for a laptop), so 6-channel support is important (plus a decent asound.conf to upmix stereo). It also has the 3 typical jacks that ought to have a selectable mode. And it's based on ALC889, which sucks. Rationale/explanations: The const_channel_count stuff was added because, for a laptop like this, you always have 6 channels available (internal speakers) but still need to set the mode for the 3 external jacks. Therefore, the device always needs to be in 6-channel mode but there still needs to be a mixer control for the jack mode. You could use line/mic-in at the same time as the 6 internal speakers, for example. You might be tempted to make it even smarter by dynamically switching the max channel count when headphones are plugged in (therefore muting the internal speakers and reducing the physical channel count to the jack channel mode), but as a user I consider this to be harmful because I want the audio to blow up to 6 channels / upmixed as soon as I unplug the headphones, and having opened the device while in 2-channel mode would prevent this from working (and always making 6-channel mode available doesn't do any harm). The hardware needs EAPD turned on and the DACs routed to the internal speaker pins, so the patch adds those verbs. The ALC889 CLFE and subsequent (side/aux, here unused) DACs do NOT work by default, at least here. I wasted much time trying to talk to Realtek/pshou about this, but they just kept sending me useless updates to patch_realtek.c that did nothing relevant. In the end I gave up and brute forced the issue by trying to flip every bit in the proprietary coefficient registers, and eventually found the two magic registers that need to be cleared to enable all DACs. I have only heard Acer users complain, but that might be because ALC889 is pretty new and using 5.1 (and noticing the missing center/lfe channels) might not be that common. If this is a generalized issue with all ALC889 systems then those verbs should probably be moved to a common verb array. The internal mic is untested and probably doesn't work. These settings will probably work for other Acer Gemstone laptops with the same 5.1 speaker config. When identified, those should be added to the PCI subsystem ID list.

2009-06-01ftrace: add kernel command line function filteringSteven Rostedt
When using ftrace=function on the command line to trace functions on boot up, one can not filter out functions that are commonly called. This patch adds two new ftrace command line commands. ftrace_notrace=function-list ftrace_filter=function-list Where function-list is a comma separated list of functions to filter. The ftrace_notrace will make the functions listed not be included in the function tracing, and ftrace_filter will only trace the functions listed. These two act the same as the debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_notrace and debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter respectively. The simple glob expressions that are allowed by the filter files can also be used by the command line interface. ftrace_notrace=rcu*,*lock,*spin* Will not trace any function that starts with rcu, ends with lock, or has the word spin in it. Note, if the self tests are enabled, they may interfere with the filtering set by the command lines. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2009-05-29ftrace: fix typo about map of kernel priority in ftrace.txt file.GeunSik Lim
Fix typo about chart to map the kernel priority to user land priorities. * About sched_setscheduler(2) Processes scheduled under SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR can have a (user-space) static priority in the range 1 to 99. (reference: http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/ man2/sched_setscheduler.2.html) * From: Steven Rostedt 0 to 98 - maps to RT tasks 99 to 1 (SCHED_RR or SCHED_FIFO) 99 - maps to internal kernel threads that want to be lower than RT tasks but higher than SCHED_OTHER tasks. Although I'm not sure if any kernel thread actually uses this. I'm not even sure how this can be set, because the internal sched_setscheduler function does not allow for it. 100 to 139 - maps nice levels -20 to 19. These are not set via sched_setscheduler, but are set via the nice system call. 140 - reserved for idle tasks.

2009-05-27ALSA: Enable PCM hw_ptr_jiffies check only in xrun_debug modeTakashi Iwai
The PCM hw_ptr jiffies check results sometimes in problems when a hardware doesn't give smooth hw_ptr updates. So far, au88x0 and some other drivers appear not working due to this strict check. However, this check is a nice debug tool, and the capability should be still kept. Hence, we disable this check now as default unless the user enables it by setting the xrun_debug mode to the specific stream via a proc file. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
