2008-10-04V4L/DVB (9099): em28xx: Add detection for K-WORLD DVB-T 310UDarron Broad
Correct firmware type to MTS Correct audio routing for composite/s-video Add DVB-T detection. This patch uses the eeprom hash method for detection as the vendor/product ids are also used for the DIGIVOX_AD. This may be a clone of the same product. Explanatory text has been added prior to the hask look-up in anticipation that it may help others. The following has been tested to work: Analogue TV (PAL-I) Composite In DVB-T (UK Crystal Palace) USB AUDIO The following has not been tested but probably works: S-Video In Signed-off-by: Darron Broad <darron@kewl.org> Signed-off-by: Douglas Schilling Landgraf <dougsland@linuxtv.org> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

2008-10-04V4L/DVB (9037): Fix support for Hauppauge Nova-S SEPatrick Boettcher
Different backends have different input busses (saa7146, flexcop). To reflect that a config-option to the s5h1420-driver was added which makes the output mode selectable. Furthermore the s5h1420-driver is now doing the same i2c-method as it was done before adding support for other i2c-users. This patch needs to go into the current release of the kernel, as this driver is currently broken. (Thanks to Eberhard Kaltenhaeuser for helping out to debug this issue.)

2008-10-04V4L/DVB (8958): zr36067: Return proper bytes-per-line valueJean Delvare
The zr36067 driver should return the actual bytes-per-line value when queried with ioctl VIDIOC_G_FMT, instead of 0. Otherwise user-space applications can get confused. Likewise, with ioctl VIDIOC_S_FMT, we are supposed to fill the bytes-per-line value. And we shouldn't fail if the caller sets the initial value to something different from 0.

If a bttv device without radio and one with radio are installed on the same system, and the one without radio is registered first, then radio_open checks for the radio device number of a bttv device that has no radio function, and this breaks.

2008-09-06clocksource, acpi_pm.c: use proper read function also in errata modeDominik Brodowski
On all hardware (some Intel ICH4, PIIX4 and PIIX4E chipsets) affected by a hardware errata there's about a 4.2% chance that initialization of the ACPI PMTMR fails. On those chipsets, we need to read out the timer value at least three times to get a correct result, for every once in a while (i.e. within a 3 ns window every 69.8 ns) the read returns a bogus result. During normal operation we work around this issue, but during initialization reading a bogus value may lead to -EINVAL even though the hardware is usable. Thanks to Andreas Mohr for spotting this issue.

2008-09-06ntp: fix calculation of the next jiffie to trigger RTC syncMaciej W. Rozycki
We have a bug in the calculation of the next jiffie to trigger the RTC synchronisation. The aim here is to run sync_cmos_clock() as close as possible to the middle of a second. Which means we want this function to be called less than or equal to half a jiffie away from when now.tv_nsec equals 5e8 (500000000). If this is not the case for a given call to the function, for this purpose instead of updating the RTC we calculate the offset in nanoseconds to the next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be equal 5e8. The calculated offset is then converted to jiffies as these are the unit used by the timer. Hovewer timespec_to_jiffies() used here uses a ceil()-type rounding mode, where the resulting value is rounded up. As a result the range of now.tv_nsec when the timer will trigger is from 5e8 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC rather than the desired 5e8 - TICK_NSEC / 2 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2. As a result if for example sync_cmos_clock() happens to be called at the time when now.tv_nsec is between 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2 and 5e8 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC, it will simply be rescheduled HZ jiffies later, falling in the same range of now.tv_nsec again. Similarly for cases offsetted by an integer multiple of TICK_NSEC. This change addresses the problem by subtracting TICK_NSEC / 2 from the nanosecond offset to the next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be equal 5e8, effectively shifting the following rounding in timespec_to_jiffies() so that it produces a rounded-to-nearest result.

2008-09-06x86: HPET fix moronic 32/64bit thinkoThomas Gleixner
We use the HPET only in 32bit mode because: 1) some HPETs are 32bit only 2) on i386 there is no way to read/write the HPET atomic 64bit wide The HPET code unification done by the "moron of the year" did not take into account that unsigned long is different on 32 and 64 bit. This thinko results in a possible endless loop in the clockevents code, when the return comparison fails due to the 64bit/332bit unawareness. unsigned long cnt = (u32) hpet_read() + delta can wrap over 32bit. but the final compare will fail and return -ETIME causing endless loops.
