2007-10-18[PATCH] rt2x00: Fix residual check in PLCP calculations.Mattias Nissler
Because rt2x00 implements the residual calculation different from what the legacy code does (i.e. scaled values), we need to adjust the residual check. Again, we are only mimicking the behaviour of the ralink driver without actually knowing what we do :-( Signed-off-by: Mattias Nissler <mattias.nissler@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2007-10-18[PATCH] ipw2100: send WEXT scan eventsDan Williams
ipw2100 wasn't sending WEXT scan events at all on scan completion. And like ipw2200, the driver aggressively auto-scans, requiring non-user-requested scan events to be batched together and sent at specific intervals instead of many times per seconds.

2007-10-15sched: sync wakeups preempt tooIngo Molnar
make sure sync wakeups preempt too - the scheduler will not overschedule as we've got various throttles against that. As a result, sync wakeups can be used more widely in the kernel (to signal wakeup affinity between tasks), and no arbitrary latencies will be introduced either. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-10-15sched: affine sync wakeupsIngo Molnar
make sync wakeups affine for cache-cold tasks: if a cache-cold task is woken up by a sync wakeup then use the opportunity to migrate it straight away. (the two tasks are 'related' because they communicate) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2007-10-15sched: guest CPU accounting: maintain stats in account_system_time()Laurent Vivier
modify account_system_time() to add cputime to cpustat->guest if we are running a VCPU. We add this cputime to cpustat->user instead of cpustat->system because this part of KVM code is in fact user code although it is executed in the kernel. We duplicate VCPU time between guest and user to allow an unmodified "top(1)" to display correct value. A modified "top(1)" is able to display good cpu user time and cpu guest time by subtracting cpu guest time from cpu user time. Update "gtime" in task_struct accordingly.

2007-10-15sched: domain sysctl fixes: unregister the sysctl table before domainsMilton Miller
Unregister and free the sysctl table before destroying domains, then rebuild and register after creating the new domains. This prevents the sysctl table from pointing to freed memory for root to write. Signed-off-by: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
