* it87: Add support for the IT8718FJean Delvare2006-09-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | it87: Add support for the IT8718F The IT8718F is a Super-I/O chip with integrated hardware monitoring functions. It is very similar to the IT8716F, so adding support to the it87 driver was pretty straightforward. The most significant difference is that the IT8718F has up to 8 VID pins, instead of 6 for the older chips. For the IT8718F, the VID value can only be read from Super-I/O space. Userspace support is already in lm_sensors SVN (to be soon released as 2.10.1.) Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | it87: Add support for the IT8716F The IT8716F is a Super-I/O chip with integrated hardware monitoring functions. It is very similar to the IT8712F, so adding support to the it87 driver was pretty straightforward. The most significant change here is that the IT8716F has 16-bit fan speed counters, so the user no more needs to tweak the fan clock dividers to get the best readings. Userspace support is already in lm_sensors SVN (to be soon released as 2.10.1.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add logic to check ARP request / reply packets used for ARP monitor link integrity checking. The current method simply examines the slave device to see if it has sent and received traffic; this can be fooled by extraneous traffic. For example, if multiple hosts running bonding are behind a common switch, the probe traffic from the multiple instances of bonding will update the tx/rx times on each other's slave devices.

* | | USB: Dealias -110 code (more complete)Pete Zaitcev2006-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The purpose of this patch is to split off the case when a device does not reply on the lower level (which is reported by HC hardware), and a case when the device accepted the request, but does not reply at upper level. This redefinition allows to diagnose issues easier, without asking the user if the -110 happened "immediately". The usbmon splits such cases already thanks to its timestamp, but it's not always available. I adjusted all drivers which I found affected (by searching for "urb"). Out of tree drivers may suffer a little bit, but I do not expect much breakage. At worst they may print a few messages.

This can be tested by running this in one shell: #define SYSERROR(X, Y) \ do { if ((long)(X) == -1L) { perror(Y); exit(1); }} while(0) int main() { int shmid, tmp, *f, n; shmid = shmget(23, 4, IPC_CREAT|0666); SYSERROR(shmid, "shmget"); f = shmat(shmid, NULL, 0); SYSERROR(f, "shmat"); n = *f; printf("WAIT: %p{%x}\n", f, n); tmp = futex(f, FUTEX_WAIT, n, NULL, NULL, 0); SYSERROR(tmp, "futex"); printf("WAITED: %d\n", tmp); tmp = shmdt(f); SYSERROR(tmp, "shmdt"); exit(0); } And then this in the other shell: #define SYSERROR(X, Y) \ do { if ((long)(X) == -1L) { perror(Y); exit(1); }} while(0) int main() { int shmid, tmp, *f; shmid = shmget(23, 4, IPC_CREAT|0666); SYSERROR(shmid, "shmget"); f = shmat(shmid, NULL, 0); SYSERROR(f, "shmat"); (*f)++; printf("WAKE: %p{%x}\n", f, *f); tmp = futex(f, FUTEX_WAKE, 1, NULL, NULL, 0); SYSERROR(tmp, "futex"); printf("WOKE: %d\n", tmp); tmp = shmdt(f); SYSERROR(tmp, "shmdt"); exit(0); } The first program will set up a SYSV IPC SHM segment and wait on a futex in it for the number at the start to change. The program will increment that number and wake the first program up.

The series of patches enable kernel support to AER. The initial patches were written by Tom Long Nguyen. I ported them to the kernel 2.6.18-rc3. Many thanks to Rajesh Shah and Narayanan Chandramouli for their great review comments and testing help. Patch 1 consists of the pciaer-howto.txt document.

| * | | [PATCH] x86: Allow disabling early pci scans with pci=noearly or disallowing ↵Andi Kleen2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | conf1 Some buggy systems can machine check when config space accesses happen for some non existent devices. i386/x86-64 do some early device scans that might trigger this. Allow pci=noearly to disable this. Also when type 1 is disabling also don't do any early accesses which are always type1. This moves the pci= configuration parsing to be a early parameter. I don't think this can break anything because it only changes a single global that is only used by PCI.

The config option still controls if the resulting executable actually has unwind information. This is useful to prevent compilation errors when users select CONFIG_STACK_UNWIND on old binutils and also allows to use CFI in the future for non kernel debugging applications.

| * | | [PATCH] x86: Add abilty to enable/disable nmi watchdog from procfs (update)Don Zickus2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds a new /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog call that will enable/disable the nmi watchdog. By entering a non-zero value here, a user can enable the nmi watchdog to monitor the online cpus in the system. By entering a zero value here, a user can disable the nmi watchdog and free up a performance counter which could then be utilized by the oprofile subsystem, otherwise oprofile may be short a counter when in use.
