2009-06-21sdhci: Add support for hosts that are only capable of 1-bit transfersAnton Vorontsov
Some hosts (hardware configurations, or particular SD/MMC slots) may not support 4-bit bus. For example, on MPC8569E-MDS boards we can switch between serial (1-bit only) and nibble (4-bit) modes, thought we have to disable more peripherals to work in 4-bit mode. Along with some small core changes, this patch modifies sdhci-of driver, so that now it looks for "sdhci,1-bit-only" property in the device-tree, and if specified we enable a proper quirk.

2009-06-19rfkill: export persistent attribute in sysfsAlan Jenkins
This information allows userspace to implement a hybrid policy where it can store the rfkill soft-blocked state in platform non-volatile storage if available, and if not then file-based storage can be used. Some users prefer platform non-volatile storage because of the behaviour when dual-booting multiple versions of Linux, or if the rfkill setting is changed in the BIOS setting screens, or if the BIOS responds to wireless-toggle hotkeys itself before the relevant platform driver has been loaded.

2009-06-19i2c: Add a sysfs interface to instantiate devicesJean Delvare
Add a sysfs interface to instantiate and delete I2C devices. This is primarily a replacement of the force_* module parameters implemented by some i2c drivers. These module parameters were implemented internally by the I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD* macros, which don't scale well. This can also be used when developing a driver on a self-soldered board which doesn't yet have proper I2C device declaration at the platform level, and presumably for various debugging situations.

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.

2009-06-18gcov: add gcov profiling infrastructurePeter Oberparleiter
Enable the use of GCC's coverage testing tool gcov [1] with the Linux kernel. gcov may be useful for: * debugging (has this code been reached at all?) * test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?) * minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the associated code is never run?) The profiling patch incorporates the following changes: * change kbuild to include profiling flags * provide functions needed by profiling code * present profiling data as files in debugfs Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option "-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/ run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and others which require adjustment of architecture code. For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes. This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help text).

2009-06-18futex: documentation: fix inconsistent description of futex list_op_pendingMatt Helsley
Strictly speaking list_op_pending points to the 'lock entry', not the 'lock word' (which is actually at 'offset' from 'lock entry'). We can infer this based on reading the code in kernel/futex.c: struct robust_list __user *entry, *next_entry, *pending; ... if (fetch_robust_entry(&pending, &head->list_op_pending, &pip)) return; ... if (pending) handle_futex_death((void __user *)pending + futex_offset, curr, pip); Which is also consistent with the rest of the docs on robust futex lists.

2009-06-18memcg: fix behavior under memory.limit equals to memsw.limitKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
A user can set memcg.limit_in_bytes == memcg.memsw.limit_in_bytes when the user just want to limit the total size of applications, in other words, not very interested in memory usage itself. In this case, swap-out will be done only by global-LRU. But, under current implementation, memory.limit_in_bytes is checked at first and try_to_free_page() may do swap-out. But, that swap-out is useless for memsw.limit_in_bytes and the thread may hit limit again. This patch tries to fix the current behavior at memory.limit == memsw.limit case. And documentation is updated to explain the behavior of this special case.

2009-06-18isofs: let mode and dmode mount options override rock ridge mode settingJan Kara
So far, permissions set via 'mode' and/or 'dmode' mount options were effective only if the medium had no rock ridge extensions (or was mounted without them). Add 'overriderockmode' mount option to indicate that these options should override permissions set in rock ridge extensions. Maybe this should be default but the current behavior is there since mount options were created so I think we should not change how they behave.

2009-06-18Doc fix: ext2 can only have 32,000 subdirs, not 32,768Michael Shields
ext2.txt says that dirs can have 32,768 subdirs, but the actual value of EXT2_LINK_MAX is 32000. ext3 is the same, but the doc does not mention it. One of ext4's features is to "fix 32000 subdirectory limit". Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-06-18proc: export statistics for softirq to /procKeika Kobayashi
Export statistics for softirq in /proc/softirqs and /proc/stat. 1. /proc/softirqs Implement /proc/softirqs which shows the number of softirq for each CPU like /proc/interrupts. 2. /proc/stat Add the "softirq" line to /proc/stat. This line shows the number of softirq for all cpu. The first column is the total of all softirqs and each subsequent column is the total for particular softirq.
