2009-07-24V4L/DVB (12238): em28xx: call sensor detection code for all webcam entriesMauro Carvalho Chehab
With the previous approach, autodetection were working only for the two generic entries (em275x and em2820 unknown ones). So, if someone would try to force probing an specific device, the code would not properly run the autodetection code. With the new approach, the sensor autodetection will be run not only for the two generic entries, but also do webcam specific ones. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

2009-07-24V4L/DVB (12236): em28xx: stop abusing of board->decoder for sensor informationMauro Carvalho Chehab
Instead of using em28xx board decoder field for storing sensor information, let's use instead a separate field for it. Also, as sensors are currently autodetected, there's no need of having it at the boards description. So, move it to the main em28xx struct. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
2009-07-24V4L/DVB (12235): em28xx: detects sensors also with the generic em2750/2750 entryMauro Carvalho Chehab
Webcams in general don't have eeprom. So, the sensor hint code should be called to properly detect what sensor is inside. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

2009-07-22perf: avoid structure size confusion by using a fixed sizeArjan van de Ven
for some reason, this structure gets compiled as 36 bytes in some files (the ones that alloacte it) but 40 bytes in others (the ones that use it). The cause is an off_t type that gets a different size in different compilation units for some yet-to-be-explained reason. But the effect is disasterous; the size/offset members of the struct are at different offsets, and result in mostly complete garbage. The parser in perf is so robust that this all gets hidden, and after skipping an certain amount of samples, it recovers.... so this bug is not normally noticed. .... except when you want every sample to be exact. Fix this by just using an explicitly sized type.

2009-07-22perf_counter: PERF_SAMPLE_ID and inherited countersPeter Zijlstra
Anton noted that for inherited counters the counter-id as provided by PERF_SAMPLE_ID isn't mappable to the id found through PERF_RECORD_ID because each inherited counter gets its own id. His suggestion was to always return the parent counter id, since that is the primary counter id as exposed. However, these inherited counters have a unique identifier so that events like PERF_EVENT_PERIOD and PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE can be specific about which counter gets modified, which is important when trying to normalize the sample streams. This patch removes PERF_EVENT_PERIOD in favour of PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD, which is more useful anyway, since changing periods became a lot more common than initially thought -- rendering PERF_EVENT_PERIOD the less useful solution (also, PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD reports the more accurate value, since it reports the value used to trigger the overflow, whereas PERF_EVENT_PERIOD simply reports the requested period changed, which might only take effect on the next cycle). This still leaves us PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE to consider, but since that _should_ be a rare occurrence, and linking it to a primary id is the most useful bit to diagnose the problem, we introduce a PERF_SAMPLE_STREAM_ID, for those few cases where the full reconstruction is important.

2009-07-22fbmon: work around compiler bug in gcc-2.4.2Linus Torvalds
There's some odd bug in gcc-4.2 where it miscompiles a simple loop whent he loop counter is of type 'unsigned char' and it should count to 128. The compiler will incorrectly decide that a trivial loop like this: unsigned char i, ... for (i = 0; i < 128; i++) { .. is endless, and will compile it to a single instruction that just branches to itself. This was triggered by the addition of '-fno-strict-overflow', and we could play games with compiler versions and go back to '-fwrapv' instead, but the trivial way to avoid it is to just make the loop induction variable be an 'int' instead.

2009-07-21NFSv4: Fix a problem whereby a buggy server can oops the kernelTrond Myklebust
We just had a case in which a buggy server occasionally returns the wrong attributes during an OPEN call. While the client does catch this sort of condition in nfs4_open_done(), and causes the nfs4_atomic_open() to return -EISDIR, the logic in nfs_atomic_lookup() is broken, since it causes a fallback to an ordinary lookup instead of just returning the error. When the buggy server then returns a regular file for the fallback lookup, the VFS allows the open, and bad things start to happen, since the open file doesn't have any associated NFSv4 state. The fix is firstly to return the EISDIR/ENOTDIR errors immediately, and secondly to ensure that we are always careful when dereferencing the nfs_open_context state pointer.
