2009-06-18LinuxPPS: core supportRodolfo Giometti
This patch adds the kernel side of the PPS support currently named "LinuxPPS". PPS means "pulse per second" and a PPS source is just a device which provides a high precision signal each second so that an application can use it to adjust system clock time. Common use is the combination of the NTPD as userland program with a GPS receiver as PPS source to obtain a wallclock-time with sub-millisecond synchronisation to UTC. To obtain this goal the userland programs shoud use the PPS API specification (RFC 2783 - Pulse-Per-Second API for UNIX-like Operating Systems, Version 1.0) which in part is implemented by this patch. It provides a set of chars devices, one per PPS source, which can be used to get the time signal. The RFC's functions can be implemented by accessing to these char devices.

changeset 04934e44e3784a1b969582e2d59afcec278470c6 removed the last implementation that were still using the V4L1 obsoleted header. Now, video_decoder.h is not used anymore by any driver. Let's remove it and all references for it in Kernel. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

2008-12-09UBI: document UBI ioctlsArtem Bityutskiy
Update the ioctl-numbers.txt file, add UBI and DVB there (because they use the same ioctl numbers). Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2008-11-14Create/use more directory structure in the Documentation/ tree.Randy Dunlap
Create Documentation/blockdev/ sub-directory and populate it. Populate the Documentation/serial/ sub-directory. Move MSI-HOWTO.txt to Documentation/PCI/. Move ioctl-number.txt to Documentation/ioctl/. Update all relevant 00-INDEX files. Update all relevant Kconfig files and source files. Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com>
