| | | * | ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add tablet-mode reportingHenrique de Moraes Holschuh2008-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A quick study of the 0x5009/0x500A HKEY event on the X61t DSDT revealed the existence of the EC HTAB register (EC 0x0f, bit 7), and a compare with the X41t DSDT shows that HKEY.MHKG can be used to verify if the ThinkPad is tablet-capable (MHKG present), and in tablet mode (bit 3 of MHKG return is set). Add an attribute to report this information, "hotkey_tablet_mode". This attribute has poll()/select() support, and can be used along with EV_SW SW_TABLET_MODE to hook userspace to tablet events.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Issue EV_SW SW_TABLET_MODE events for HKEY events 0x5009 and 0x500A on the X41t/X60t/X61t. As usual, we suppress the HKEY events on the netlink interface to avoid sending duplicate events to userspace.

| | * | libata: implement libata.force module parameterTejun Heo2008-02-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements libata.force module parameter which can selectively override ATA port, link and device configurations including cable type, SATA PHY SPD limit, transfer mode and NCQ. For example, you can say "use 1.5Gbps for all fan-out ports attached to the second port but allow 3.0Gbps for the PMP device itself, oh, the device attached to the third fan-out port chokes on NCQ and shouldn't go over UDMA4" by the following. libata.force=2:1.5g,2.15:3.0g,2.03:noncq,udma4 Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

* | | Remove a.out interpreter support in ELF loaderAndi Kleen2008-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Following the deprecation schedule the a.out ELF interpreter support is removed now with this patch. a.out ELF interpreters were an transition feature for moving a.out systems to ELF, but they're unlikely to be still needed. Pure a.out systems will still work of course. This allows to simplify the hairy ELF loader.

Several filesystems which use mount options, have not implemented a .show_options superblock operation. Several others have implemented this callback, but have not kept it fully up to date with the parsed options. Q: Why do we need correct option showing in /proc/mounts? A: We want /proc/mounts to fully replace /etc/mtab. The reasons for this are: - unprivileged mounters won't be able to update /etc/mtab - /etc/mtab doesn't work with private mount namespaces - /etc/mtab can become out-of-sync with reality Q: Can't this be done, so that filesystems need not bother with implementing a .show_mounts callback, and keeping it up to date? A: Only in some cases. Certain filesystems allow modification of a subset of options in their remount_fs method. It is not possible to take this into account without knowing exactly how the filesystem handles options. For the simple case (no remount or remount resets all options) the patchset introduces two helpers: generic_show_options() save_mount_options() These can also be used to emulate the old /etc/mtab behavior, until proper support is added. Even if this is not 100% correct, it's still better than showing no options at all.

* | | aoe: user can ask driver to forget previously detected devicesEd L. Cashin2008-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an AoE device is detected, the kernel is informed, and a new block device is created. If the device is unused, the block device corresponding to remote device that is no longer available may be removed from the system by telling the aoe driver to "flush" its list of devices. Without this patch, software like GPFS and LVM may attempt to read from AoE devices that were discovered earlier but are no longer present, blocking until the I/O attempt times out.
