* [SCSI] advansys: Move documentation to Documentation/scsiMatthew Wilcox2007-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 700+-line comment at the top of the advansys driver fits more comfortably in Documentation/scsi. Delete the sections on: - kernels supported - other files modified (obsolete) - source comments (obsolete) - tests to run - release history (that's what a VCS is for) - contacting connectcom (the domain has expired and the phone number is now in use by another organisation) Known problems/fix list is moved down to the section where jejb put his FIXME.

| * ACPI: thermal: create "thermal.act=" to disable or override active trip pointLen Brown2007-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | thermal.act=-1 disables all active trip points in all ACPI thermal zones. thermal.act=C, where C > 0, overrides all lowest temperature active trip points in all thermal zones to C degrees Celsius. Raising this trip-point may allow you to keep your system silent up to a higher temperature. However, it will not allow you to raise the lowest temperature trip point above the next higher trip point (if there is one). Lowering this trip point may kick in the fan sooner. Note that overriding this trip-point will disable any BIOS attempts to implement hysteresis around the lowest temperature trip point. This may result in the fan starting and stopping frequently if temperature frequently crosses C. WARNING: raising trip points above the manufacturer's defaults may cause the system to run at higher temperature and shorten its life. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
| * ACPI: thermal: create "thermal.nocrt" to disable critical actionsLen Brown2007-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | thermal.nocrt=1 disables actions on _CRT and _HOT ACPI thermal zone trip-points. They will be marked as <disabled> in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/trip_points. There are two cases where this option is used: 1. Debugging a hot system crossing valid trip point. If your system fan is spinning at full speed, be sure that the vent is not clogged with dust. Many laptops have very fine thermal fins that are easily blocked. Check that the processor fan-sink is properly seated, has the proper thermal grease, and is really spinning. Check for fan related options in BIOS SETUP. Sometimes there is a performance vs quiet option. Defaults are generally the most conservative. If your fan is not spinning, yet /proc/acpi/fan/ has files in it, please file a Linux/ACPI bug. WARNING: you risk shortening the lifetime of your hardware if you use this parameter on a hot system. Note that this refers to all system components, including the disk drive. 2. Working around a cool system crossing critical trip point due to erroneous temperature reading. Try again with CONFIG_HWMON=n There is known potential for conflict between the the hwmon sub-system and the ACPI BIOS. If this fixes it, notify lm-sensors@lm-sensors.org and linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org Otherwise, file a Linux/ACPI bug, or notify just linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org.

| * ACPI: thermal: create "thermal.psv=" to override passive trip pointsLen Brown2007-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "thermal.psv=-1" disables passive trip points for all ACPI thermal zones. "thermal.psv=C", where 'C' is degrees Celsius, overrides all existing passive trip points for all ACPI thermal zones. thermal.psv is checked at module load time, and in response to trip-point change events. Note that if the system does not deliver thermal zone temperature change events near the new trip-point, then it will not be noticed. To force your custom trip point to be noticed, you may need to enable polling: eg. thermal.tzp=3000 invokes polling every 5 minutes. Note that once passive thermal throttling is invoked, it has its own internal Thermal Sampling Period (_TSP), that is unrelated to _TZP. WARNING: disabling or raising a thermal trip point may result in increased running temperature and shorter hardware lifetime on some systems. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
| * ACPI: thermal: expose "thermal.tzp=" to set global polling frequencyLen Brown2007-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Thermal Zone Polling frequency (_TZP) is an optional ACPI object recommending the rate that the OS should poll the associated thermal zone. If _TZP is 0, no polling should be used. If _TZP is non-zero, then the platform recommends that the OS poll the thermal zone at the specified rate. The minimum period is 30 seconds. The maximum period is 5 minutes. (note _TZP and thermal.tzp units are in deci-seconds, so _TZP = 300 corresponds to 30 seconds) If _TZP is not present, ACPI 3.0b recommends that the thermal zone be polled at an "OS provided default frequency". However, common industry practice is: 1. The BIOS never specifies any _TZP 2. High volume OS's from this century never poll any thermal zones Ie. The OS depends on the platform's ability to provoke thermal events when necessary, and the "OS provided default frequency" is "never":-) There is a proposal that ACPI 4.0 be updated to reflect common industry practice -- ie. no _TZP, no polling. The Linux kernel already follows this practice -- thermal zones are not polled unless _TZP is present and non-zero. But thermal zone polling is useful as a workaround for systems which have ACPI thermal control, but have an issue preventing thermal events. Indeed, some Linux distributions still set a non-zero thermal polling frequency for this reason. But rather than ask the user to write a polling frequency into all the /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/polling_frequency files, here we simply document and expose the already existing module parameter to do the same at system level, to simplify debugging those broken platforms. Note that thermal.tzp is a module-load time parameter only. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
| * ACPI: thermal: create "thermal.off=1" to disable ACPI thermal supportLen Brown2007-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "thermal.off=1" disables all ACPI thermal support at boot time. CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL=n can do this at build time. "# rmmod thermal" can do this at run time, as long as thermal is built as a module. WARNING: On some systems, disabling ACPI thermal support will cause the system to run hotter and reduce the lifetime of the hardware. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

It broke Sébastien Dugué's machine and Jeff said (persuasively) This seems like it will break decades-long-working stuff, in favor of breaking new ground in our favorite area, "trusting the BIOS." It's just not worth it for serial ports, IMO. Serial ports are something that just shouldn't break at this late stage in the game. My new Intel platform boxes don't even have serial ports, so I question the value of messing with serial port probing even more... because... just wait a year, and your box won't have a serial port either! :) I certainly don't object to the use of platform devices (or isa_driver), but the probe change seems questionable. That's sorta analagous to rewriting the floppy driver probe routine. Sure you could do it... but why risk all that damage and go through debugging all over again? It seems clear from this report that we cannot, should not, trust BIOS for something (a) so simple and (b) that has been working for over a decade. Much discussion ensued and we've decided to have another go at all of this.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While learning about schedstats I found that the documentation in the tree is old. I updated it and found some interesting stuff like schedstats version 14 is the same as version and version 13 never saw a kernel release! Also there are 6 fields in the current schedstats that are not used anymore. Nick had made them irrelevant in commit 476d139c218e44e045e4bc6d4cc02b010b343939 but never removed them. Thanks to Rick's perl script who I borrowed some of the updated descriptions from.
