2008-07-31hpet: /dev/hpet - fixes and cleanupDavid Brownell
Minor /dev/hpet updates and bugfixes: * Remove dead code, mostly remnants of an incomplete/unusable kernel interface ... noted when addressing "sparse" warnings: + hpet_unregister() and a routine it calls + hpet_task and all references, including hpet_task_lock + hpet_data.hd_flags (and HPET_DATA_PLATFORM) * Correct and improve boot message: + displays *counter* (shared between comparators) bit width, not *timer* bit widths (which are often mixed) + relabel "timers" as "comparators"; this is less confusing, they are not independent like normal timers are (sigh) + display MHz not Hz; it's never less than 10 MHz. * Tighten and correct the userspace interface code + don't accidentally program comparators in 64-bit mode using 32-bit values ... always force comparators into 32-bit mode + provide the correct bit definition flagging comparators with periodic capability ... the ABI is unchanged * Update Documentation/hpet.txt + be more correct and current + expand description a bit + don't mention that now-gone kernel interface Plus, add a FIXME comment for something that could cause big trouble on systems with more capable HPETs than at least Intel seems to ship. It seems that few folk use this userspace interface; it's not very usable given the general lack of HPET IRQ routing. I'm told that the only real point of it any more is to mmap for fast timestamps; IMO that's handled better through the gettimeofday() vsyscall.

2008-07-28ipwireless: Increase PPP outgoing queue sizeDavid Sterba
ipwireless: Increase PPP outgoing queue size Increase default size of PPP outgoing queue. Currently set to 1, which means that a packet quickly following another pushed by PPP must wait until hardware actually sends the previous and PPP has to be waken up by ppp_wakeup(). This slows down upstream. Now PPP can push more packets at once which get buffered inside driver and pushed immediatelly to hardware when previous packet is out. Experiments show that size = 10 is quite good for all connection types (GPRS/EDGE/UMTS) and gains 4 KB/sec of upload for UMTS for batch uploads. Need for higher queue size than 10 occures in only < 0.1 % of cases.

This patch increases size of driver internal response buffers.

Some TPM responses do not have fixed size, so bigger response buffers have to be allocated. 200B buffers should be enough.
