2008-11-10powerpc: Repair device bindings documentationTrent Piepho
Commit d0fc2eaaf4c56a95f5ed29b6bfb609e19714fc16 "powerpc/fsl: Refactor device bindings" split out a number of device bindings from booting-without-of.txt into separate files. Having them all in one file was a frequent source of merge conflicts. However, in the next merge, 49997d75152b3d23c53b0fa730599f2f74c92c65, there was another conflict. Some of the bindings removed from booting-without-of.txt were mistakenly added back in and the copies in dts-bindings were kept as well. This patch re-removes "Freescale Display Interface" and "Freescale on board FPGA" and fixes the table of contents.

2008-11-07ACPI video: if no ACPI backlight support, use vendor driversThomas Renninger
If an ACPI graphics device supports backlight brightness functions (cmp. with latest ACPI spec Appendix B), let the ACPI video driver control backlight and switch backlight control off in vendor specific ACPI drivers (asus_acpi, thinkpad_acpi, eeepc, fujitsu_laptop, msi_laptop, sony_laptop, acer-wmi). Currently it is possible to load above drivers and let both poke on the brightness HW registers, the video and vendor specific ACPI drivers -> bad. This patch provides the basic support to check for BIOS capabilities before driver loading time. Driver specific modifications are in separate follow up patches. "acpi_backlight=vendor" Prever vendor driver over ACPI driver for backlight. "acpi_backlight=video" (default) Prever ACPI driver over vendor driver for backlight.

2008-11-06fat: Fix ATTR_RO for directoryOGAWA Hirofumi
FAT has the ATTR_RO (read-only) attribute. But on Windows, the ATTR_RO of the directory will be just ignored actually, and is used by only applications as flag. E.g. it's setted for the customized folder by Explorer. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa969337.aspx This adds "rodir" option. If user specified it, ATTR_RO is used as read-only flag even if it's the directory. Otherwise, inode->i_mode is not used to hold ATTR_RO (i.e. fat_mode_can_save_ro() returns 0).

2008-11-05ALSA: hda - Split ALC268 acer modelTakashi Iwai
There are actually two variants of ALC268 Acer implementation, one with an analog built-in mic (pin 0x19) and another with a digital mic (pin 0x12). Created a new model, acer-dmic, for the latter case now. So far, all known models are assigned to be analog-mic, according to the BIOS setup. If this doesn't match with the actual case, one needs to try model=acer-dmic, and fix the entry to point ALC268_ACER_DMIC if it works. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

2008-10-31resources: add io-mapping functions to dynamically map large device aperturesKeith Packard
Impact: add new generic io_map_*() APIs Graphics devices have large PCI apertures which would consume a significant fraction of a 32-bit address space if mapped during driver initialization. Using ioremap at runtime is impractical as it is too slow. This new set of interfaces uses atomic mappings on 32-bit processors and a large static mapping on 64-bit processors to provide reasonable 32-bit performance and optimal 64-bit performance. The current implementation sits atop the io_map_atomic fixmap-based mechanism for 32-bit processors.

2008-10-31ftrace: handle archs that do not support irqs_disabled_flagsSteven Rostedt
Impact: build fix on non-lockdep architectures Some architectures do not support a way to read the irq flags that is set from "local_irq_save(flags)" to determine if interrupts were disabled or enabled. Ftrace uses this information to display to the user if the trace occurred with interrupts enabled or disabled. Besides the fact that those archs that do not support this will fail to compile, unless they fix it, we do not want to have the trace simply say interrupts were not disabled or they were enabled, without knowing the real answer. This patch adds a 'X' in the output to let the user know that the architecture they are running on does not support a way for the tracer to determine if interrupts were enabled or disabled. It also lets those same archs compile with tracing enabled. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Introduce a new flag showing whether the event has an event handler/method. For all the GPEs and Fixed Events, 1. ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE is cleared, it's an "invalid" ACPI event. 2. Both ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE and ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_DISABLE are set, it's "disabled". 3. Both ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE and ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_ENABLE are set, it's "enabled". 4. Both ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE and ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_WAKE_ENABLE are set, it's "wake_enabled". Among other things, this prevents incorrect reporting of ACPI events as being "invalid" when it's really just (temporarily) "disabled".
