* mac80211: add beacon filtering supportKalle Valo2009-03-27
| | | | | | | | | Add IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_FILTERING flag so that driver inform that it supports beacon filtering. Drivers need to call the new function ieee80211_beacon_loss() to notify about beacon loss. Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kalle.valo@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

| | * | UIO: Add name attributes for mappings and port regionsHans J. Koch2009-03-24
| | |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a UIO device has several memory mappings, it can be difficult for userspace to find the right one. The situation becomes even worse if the UIO driver can handle different versions of a card that have different numbers of mappings. Benedikt Spranger has such cards and pointed this out to me. Thanks, Bene! To address this problem, this patch adds "name" sysfs attributes for each mapping. Userspace can use these to clearly identify each mapping. The name string is optional. If a driver doesn't set it, an empty string will be returned, so this patch won't break existing drivers. The same problem exists for port region information, so a "name" attribute is added there, too. Signed-off-by: Hans J. Koch <hjk@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

| * docbook: split kernel-api for device-driversRandy Dunlap2009-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel-api docbook was much larger than any of the others, so processing it took longer and needed some docbook extras in some cases, so split it into kernel-api (infrastructure etc.) and device drivers/device subsystems. This allows these docbooks to be generated in parallel. (This reduced the docbook processing time on my 4-proc system with make -j4 from about 5min:16sec to about 2min:01sec.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently source files in the Documentation/ sub-dir can easily bit-rot since they are not generally buildable, either because they are hidden in text files or because there are no Makefile rules for them. This needs to be fixed so that the source files remain usable and good examples of code instead of bad examples. Add the ability to build source files that are in the Documentation/ dir. Add to Kconfig as "BUILD_DOCSRC" config symbol. Use "CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC=1 make ..." to build objects from the Documentation/ sources. Or enable BUILD_DOCSRC in the *config system. However, this symbol depends on HEADERS_CHECK since the header files need to be installed (for userspace builds).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A regression to the kgdb core was found in the case of using the CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA kernel option. When this option is on, a breakpoint cannot be written into any readonly memory page. When an external debugger requests a breakpoint to get set, the kgdb_validate_break_address() was only checking to see if the address to place the breakpoint was readable and lacked a write check. This patch changes the validate routine to try reading (via the breakpoint set request) and also to try immediately writing the break point. If either fails, an error is correctly returned and the debugger behaves correctly. Then an end user can make the descision to use hardware breakpoints. Also update the documentation to reflect that using CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA will inhibit the use of software breakpoints. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

More so, it's causing me pains, so just drop them since no other guide is doing this.

* | Remove mention of semaphores from kernel-lockingMatthew Wilcox2008-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the consensus seems to be to eliminate semaphores where possible, we shouldn't be educating people about how to use them as locks. Use mutexes instead. Semaphores should be described in a separate document if we end up keeping them. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

* | UIO: Add write function to allow irq maskingHans J. Koch2008-07-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes it is necessary to enable/disable the interrupt of a UIO device from the userspace part of the driver. With this patch, the UIO kernel driver can implement an "irqcontrol()" function that does this. Userspace can write an s32 value to /dev/uioX (usually 0 or 1 to turn the irq off or on). The UIO core will then call the driver's irqcontrol function. Signed-off-by: Hans J.

* | usb gadget serial: split out CDC ACM functionDavid Brownell2008-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Split out CDC ACM parts of "gadget serial" to a "function driver". Some key structural differences from the previous ACM support, shared with with the generic serial function (next patch): - As a function driver, it can be combined with other functions. One gadget configuration could offer both serial and network links, as an example. - One serial port can be exposed in multiple configurations; the /dev/ttyGS0 node could be exposed regardless of which config the host selected. - One configuration can expose multiple serial ports, such as ttyGS0, ttyGS1, ttyGS2, and ttyGS3. This code should be a lot easier to understand than the previous all-in-one-big-file version of the driver.
