2009-04-22ASoC: Add power supply widget to DAPMMark Brown
Many modern CODECs have shared resources on chip which must be enabled for portions of the chip to work but which can be disabled at other times in order to achieve power savings. Examples of such resources include power supplies and some internal clocks. Since these widgets are dependencies for the audio path but do not carry audio signals they require slightly different handling to most widgets - they do not contribute to the audio path and so should not be counted as either inputs or outputs during path walks. Cases where one supply provides a supply for another will require additional work. There is also room for more optimisation of the graph walking to avoid repeated checks for the same thing.

2009-04-07nilfs2: clean up sketch fileRyusuke Konishi
The sketch file is a file to mark checkpoints with user data. It was experimentally introduced in the original implementation, and now obsolete. The file was handled differently with regular files; the file size got truncated when a checkpoint was created. This stops the special treatment and will treat it as a regular file. Most users are not affected because mkfs.nilfs2 no longer makes this file.

2009-04-07kprobes: support per-kprobe disablingMasami Hiramatsu
Add disable_kprobe() and enable_kprobe() to disable/enable kprobes temporarily. disable_kprobe() asynchronously disables probe handlers of specified kprobe. So, after calling it, some handlers can be called at a while. enable_kprobe() enables specified kprobe. aggr_pre_handler and aggr_post_handler check disabled probes. On the other hand aggr_break_handler and aggr_fault_handler don't check it because these handlers will be called while executing pre or post handlers and usually those help error handling.

2009-04-07mm: add /proc controls for pdflush threadsPeter W Morreale
Add /proc entries to give the admin the ability to control the minimum and maximum number of pdflush threads. This allows finer control of pdflush on both large and small machines. The rationale is simply one size does not fit all. Admins on large and/or small systems may want to tune the min/max pdflush thread count to best suit their needs. Right now the min/max is hardcoded to 2/8. While probably a fair estimate for smaller machines, large machines with large numbers of CPUs and large numbers of filesystems/block devices may benefit from larger numbers of threads working on different block devices. Even if the background flushing algorithm is radically changed, it is still likely that multiple threads will be involved and admins would still desire finer control on the min/max other than to have to recompile the kernel. The patch adds '/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_min' and '/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_max' with r/w permissions. The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_min is 1 and the maximum value is the current value of nr_pdflush_threads_max. This minimum is required since additional thread creation is performed in a pdflush thread itself. The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_max is the current value of nr_pdflush_threads_min and the maximum value can be 1000. Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt is also updated.

2009-04-07mflash: initial supportunsik Kim
This driver supports mflash IO mode for linux. Mflash is embedded flash drive and mainly targeted mobile and consumer electronic devices. Internally, mflash has nand flash and other hardware logics and supports 2 different operation (ATA, IO) modes. ATA mode doesn't need any new driver and currently works well under standard IDE subsystem. Actually it's one chip SSD. IO mode is ATA-like custom mode for the host that doesn't have IDE interface. Followings are brief descriptions about IO mode. A. IO mode based on ATA protocol and uses some custom command. (read confirm, write confirm) B. IO mode uses SRAM bus interface. C. IO mode supports 4kB boot area, so host can boot from mflash. This driver is quitely similar to a standard ATA driver, but because of following reasons it is currently seperated with ATA layer. 1. ATA layer deals standard ATA protocol. ATA layer have many low- level device specific interface, but data transfer keeps ATA rule. But, mflash IO mode doesn't. 2. Even though currently not used in mflash driver code, mflash has some custom command and modes. (nand fusing, firmware patch, etc) If this feature supported in linux kernel, ATA layer more altered. 3. Currently PATA platform device driver doesn't support interrupt. (I'm not sure) But, mflash uses interrupt (polling mode is just for debug). 4. mflash is somewhat under-develop product. Even though some company already using mflash their own product, I think more time is needed for standardization of custom command and mode. That time (maybe October) I will talk to with ATA people. If they accept integration, I will integrate.

2009-04-06V4L/DVB (11321): pxa_camera: Redesign DMA handlingRobert Jarzmik
The DMA transfers in pxa_camera showed some weaknesses in multiple queued buffers context : - poll/select problem The bug shows up with capture_example tool from v4l2 hg tree. The process just "stalls" on a "select timeout". - multiple buffers DMA starting When multiple buffers were queued, the DMA channels were always started right away. This is not optimal, as a special case appears when the first EOF was not yet reached, and the DMA channels were prematurely started. - Maintainability DMA code was a bit obfuscated. Rationalize the code to be easily maintainable by anyone. - DMA hot chaining DMA is not stopped anymore to queue a buffer, the buffer is queued with DMA running. As a tribute, a corner case exists where chaining happens while DMA finishes the chain, and the capture is restarted to deal with the missed link buffer.

2009-04-06leds: Add openfirmware platform device supportTrent Piepho
Add bindings to support LEDs defined as of_platform devices in addition to the existing bindings for platform devices. New options in Kconfig allow the platform binding code and/or the of_platform code to be turned on. The of_platform code is of course only available on archs that have OF support. The existing probe and remove methods are refactored to use new functions create_gpio_led(), to create and register one led, and delete_gpio_led(), to unregister and free one led. The new probe and remove methods for the of_platform driver can then share most of the common probe and remove code with the platform driver. The suspend and resume methods aren't shared, but they are very short. The actual led driving code is the same for LEDs created by either binding. The OF bindings are based on patch by Anton Vorontsov <avorontsov@ru.mvista.com>. They have been extended to allow multiple LEDs per device.

2009-04-04thinkpad-acpi: rework brightness supportHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Refactor and redesign the brightness control backend... In order to fix bugzilla #11750... Add a new brightness control mode: support direct NVRAM checkpointing of the backlight level (i.e. store directly to NVRAM without the need for UCMS calls), and use that together with the EC-based control. Disallow UCMS+EC, thus avoiding races with the SMM firmware. Switch the models that define HBRV (EC Brightness Value) in the DSDT to the new mode. These are: T40-T43, R50-R52, R50e, R51e, X31-X41. Change the default for all other IBM ThinkPads to UCMS-only. The Lenovo models already default to UCMS-only.

2009-04-04thinkpad-acpi: enhanced debugging messages for rfkill subdriversHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Enhance debugging messages for all rfkill subdrivers in thinkpad-acpi. Also, log a warning if the deprecated sysfs attributes are in use. These attributes are going to be removed sometime in 2010. There is an user-visible side-effect: we now coalesce attempts to enable/disable bluetooth or WWAN in the procfs interface, instead of hammering the firmware with multiple requests.

2009-04-04thinkpad-acpi: restrict access to some firmware LEDsHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Some of the ThinkPad LEDs indicate critical conditions that can cause data loss or cause hardware damage when ignored (e.g. force-ejecting a powered up bay; ignoring a failing battery, or empty battery; force- undocking with the dock buses still active, etc). On almost all ThinkPads, LED access is write-only, and the firmware usually does fire-and-forget signaling on them, so you effectively lose whatever message the firmware was trying to convey to the user when you override the LED state, without any chance to restore it. Restrict access to all LEDs that can convey important alarms, or that could mislead the user into incorrectly operating the hardware. This will make the Lenovo engineers less unhappy about the whole issue. Allow users that really want it to still control all LEDs, it is the unaware user that we have to worry about.

2009-04-04thinkpad-acpi: remove HKEY disable functionalityHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
The HKEY disable functionality basically cripples the entire event model of the ThinkPad firmware and of the thinkpad-acpi driver. Remove this functionality from the driver. HKEY must be enabled at all times while thinkpad-acpi is loaded, and disabled otherwise. For sysfs, according to the sysfs ABI and the thinkpad-acpi sysfs rules of engagement, we will just remove the attributes. This will be done in two stages: disable their function now, after two kernel releases, remove the attributes. For procfs, we call WARN(). If nothing triggers it, I will simply remove the enable/disable commands entirely in the future along with the sysfs attributes. I don't expect much, if any fallout from this. There really isn't any reason to mess with hotkey_enable or with the enable/disable commands to /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey, and this has been true for years...

2009-04-04thinkpad-acpi: add new debug helpers and warn of deprecated attsHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Add a debug helper that discloses the TGID of the userspace task attempting to access the driver. This is highly useful when dealing with bug reports, since often the user has no idea that some userspace application is accessing thinkpad-acpi... Also add a helper to log warnings about sysfs attributes that are deprecated. Use the new helpers to issue deprecation warnings for bluetooth_enable and wwan_enabled, that have been deprecated for a while, now.
