2005-05-01[PATCH] DocBook: changes and extensions to the kernel documentationPavel Pisa
I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our university students again. The documentation could be extended for more sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0 time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well. So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are not too much skewed. I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some #ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc. You can see result of the modified documentation build at http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated documentation. Sources has been added into kernel-api for now. Some more section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick cleanup work.

Attached is a patch against 2.6.11.7 which tidies up the tdfxfb framebuffer size detection code a little and fixes the broken support for Voodoo4/5 cards.

2005-05-01[PATCH] ipmi: enable interrupts on the BT driverCorey Minyard
Enable interrupts for a BT interface. There is a specific register that needs to be set up to enable interrupts that also must be modified to clear the irq. Also, don't reset the BMC on a BT interface. That's probably not a good idea as the BMC may be performing other important functions and a reset should only be a last resort. Also, that register is also used to enable/disable interrupts to the BT; modifying it may screw up the interrupts.

2005-05-01[PATCH] misc verify_area cleanupsJesper Juhl

There was also a few places that still used verify_area in commented-out code, fix those up to use access_ok.

2005-05-01[PATCH] vgacon: set vc_hi_font_mask correctlyBill Nottingham
When allocating a new VC with vgacon_init(), the font is shared across all the VGA consoles. However, the font mask was always set to the default value of zero in visual_init(), even if we were using 512 character fonts at the time. Moreover, code in vgacon.c:vga_do_font_op() didn't reset the mask if the console driver thinks it's already in 512 character mode. This means that to *fix* it, you'd actually have to take the console out of 512 character mode and then set it back. The attached sets vc_hi_font_mask in vgacon_init() for any new consoles opened if the vgacon driver is already in 512 character mode, solving this. This bug goes back to 2.4.18 at least, probably earlier. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-05-01[PATCH] LifeView FlyTV Platinum FM: GPIO usagePeter Missel
This is take two of a patch that should have appeared two days ago, before yesterday's "remote control" patch for the same card. This patch sets unconnected GPIO to Output to keep them from floating (just good driver writing practice, being nice to the chip), and uses GPIO16 to switch TV vs. FM - this pin switches inputs onto the tuner, as well as the audio output from the tuner into the 7135 SIF input. Consequently, FM radio support is being un-commented because it's now working (sort of, see below). These two patches get the card almost fully operational; there appears to be a bug in tda8290.c remaining that puts an offset onto the tuned frequency in FM radio mode. We're investigating.
