* USB: add binary API to usbmonPete Zaitcev2007-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a new, "binary" API in addition to the old, text API usbmon had before. The new API allows for less CPU use, and it allows to capture all data from a packet where old API only captured 32 bytes at most. There are some limitations and conditions to this, e.g. in case someone constructs a URB with 1GB of data, it's not likely to be captured, because even the huge buffers of the new reader are finite. Nonetheless, I expect this new capability to capture all data for all real life scenarios. The downside is, a special user mode application is required where cat(1) worked before. I have sample code at http://people.redhat.com/zaitcev/linux/ and Paolo Abeni is working on patching libpcap. This patch was initially written by Paolo and later I tweaked it, and we had a little back-and-forth. So this is a jointly authored patch, but I am submitting this I am responsible for the bugs.

* [PATCH] sysrq: showBlockedTasks is sysrq-WRandy Dunlap2007-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change SysRq showBlockedTasks from sysrq-X to sysrq-W and show that in the Help message. It was previously done via X, but X is already used for Xmon on ppc & powerpc platforms and this collision needs to be avoided. All callers of register_sysrq_key() are now marked in the sysrq op/key table. I didn't mark 'h' as Help because Help is just printed for any unknown key, such as '?'. Added some omitted sysrq key entries in the sysrq.txt file.

Only after the call to unmap_mapping_range() are we sure that the page can no longer be dirtied. In order to fix this, NFS has hooked the releasepage() method and tries to write the page out between the call to unmap_mapping_range() and the call to remove_mapping(). This, however leads to deadlocks in the page reclaim code, where the page may be locked without holding a reference to the inode or dentry. Fix is to add a new address_space_operation, launder_page(), which will attempt to write out a dirty page without releasing the page lock.

It may not be appropriate, or even desirable to flush a region of virtual memory cache in the current process when that is different to the process that we want the flush to occur for. Therefore, pass the vma into flush_anon_page() so that the architecture can work out whether the 'vmaddr' is for the current process or not. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit b026872601976f666bae77b609dc490d1834bf77, which has been linked to several problem reports with IO-APIC and the timer. Machines either don't boot because the timer doesn't happen, or we get double timer interrupts because we end up double-routing the timer irq through multiple interfaces. See for example http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/16/101 http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/3/9 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7789 about some of the discussion. Patches to fix this cleanup exist (and have been confirmed to work fine at least for some of the affected cases) and we'll revisit it for 2.6.21, but this late in the -rc series we're better off just reverting the incomplete commit that caused the problems.

| | * | ACPI: ibm-acpi: implement fan watchdog commandHenrique de Moraes Holschuh2006-12-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements a fan control safety watchdog, by request of the authors of userspace fan control scripts. When the watchdog timer expires, the equivalent action of a "fan enable" command is executed. The watchdog timer is reset at every reception of a fan control command that could change the state of the fan itself. This command is meant to be used by userspace fan control daemons, to make sure the fan is never left set to an unsafe level because of userspace problems. Users of the X31/X40/X41 "speed" command are on their own, the current implementation of "speed" is just too incomplete to be used safely, anyway. Better to never use it, and just use the "level" command instead. The watchdog is programmed using echo "watchdog <number>" > fan, where number is the number of seconds to wait before doing an "enable", and zero disables the watchdog.

| | * | ACPI: ibm-acpi: fix and extend fan control functionsHenrique de Moraes Holschuh2006-12-07

The patch also updates the documentation, explaining levels auto and disengaged. ABI changes: 1. Support level 0 as an equivalent to disable 2. Add support for level auto and level disengaged when doing EC 0x2f fan control 3. Support enable/disable for all level-based write access modes 4. Add support for level command on FANS thinkpads, as per thinkwiki reports Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The A31 has a very atypical layout, so I separated its thermal sensors location in a separate patch. Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br>
| | * | ACPI: ibm-acpi: Implement direct-ec-access thermal reading modes for up to ↵Henrique de Moraes Holschuh2006-12-07

It uses a DMI match to detect ThinkPads with a new-style embedded controller, that are known to have forward- compatible register maps and use 0x00 to fill in non-used registers and export thermal sensors at EC offsets 0x78-7F and 0xC0-C7. Direct ACPI EC register access is implemented for 8-sensor and 16-sensor new-style ThinkPad controller firmwares as an experimental feature. The code does some limited sanity checks on the temperatures read through EC access, and will default to the old ACPI TMP0-7 mode if anything is amiss. Userspace ABI is not changed for 8 sensors, but /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal is extended for 16 sensors if the firmware supports 16 sensors. A documentation update is also provided. The information about the ThinkPad register map was determined by studying ibm-acpi "ecdump" output from various ThinkPad models, submitted by subscribers of the linux-thinkpad mailinglist. Futher information was gathered from the DSDT tables, as they describe the EC register map in recent ThinkPads. DSDT source shows that TMP0-7 access and direct register access are actually the same thing on these firmwares, but unfortunately IBM never did update their DSDT EC register map to export TMP8-TMP15 for the second range of sensors.
