2009-12-16vt: make the default cursor shape configurableClemens Ladisch
For embedded systems, the blinking cursor at startup time can be annoying and unintended. Add a new kernel parameter to change the default cursor shape.

2009-12-11USB: usb-storage: add BAD_SENSE flagAlan Stern
This patch (as1311) fixes a problem in usb-storage: Some devices are pretty broken when it comes to reporting sense data. The information they send back indicates that they have more than 18 bytes of sense data available, but when the system asks for more than 18 they fail or hang. The symptom is that probing fails with multiple resets. The patch adds a new BAD_SENSE flag to indicate that usb-storage should never ask for more than 18 bytes of sense data. The flag can be set in an unusual_devs entry or via the "quirks=" module parameter, and it is set automatically whenever a REQUEST SENSE command for more than 18 bytes fails or times out. An unusual_devs entry is added for the Agfa photo frame, which uses a Prolific chip having this bug.

2009-11-09signal: Print warning message when dropping signalsNaohiro Ooiwa
When the system has too many timers or too many aggregate queued signals, the EAGAIN error is returned to application from kernel, including timer_create() [POSIX.1b]. It means that the app exceeded the limit of pending signals, but in general application writers do not expect this outcome and the current silent failure can cause rare app failures under very high load. This patch adds a new message when we reach the limit and if print_fatal_signals is enabled: task/1234: reached RLIMIT_SIGPENDING, dropping signal If you see this message and your system behaved unexpectedly, you can run following command to lift the limit: # ulimit -i unlimited With help from Hiroshi Shimamoto <h-shimamoto@ct.jp.nec.com>.

2009-10-07udp: dynamically size hash tables at boot timeEric Dumazet
UDP_HTABLE_SIZE was initialy defined to 128, which is a bit small for several setups. 4000 active UDP sockets -> 32 sockets per chain in average. An incoming frame has to lookup all sockets to find best match, so long chains hurt latency. Instead of a fixed size hash table that cant be perfect for every needs, let UDP stack choose its table size at boot time like tcp/ip route, using alloc_large_system_hash() helper Add an optional boot parameter, uhash_entries=x so that an admin can force a size between 256 and 65536 if needed, like thash_entries and rhash_entries. dmesg logs two new lines : [ 0.647039] UDP hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes) [ 0.647099] UDP Lite hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes) Maximal size on 64bit arches would be 65536 slots, ie 1 MBytes for non debugging spinlocks.

2009-10-01x86: earlyprintk: Fix regression to handle serial,ttySn as 1 argJason Wessel
Commit c953094 ("early_printk: Allow more than one early console") introduced a regression in the parsing of the earlyprintk= kernel arguments. If you specify "earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200" as a kernel argument, the "serial,ttyS" should be parsed as a single argument and not as "serial" and then "ttyS". Also update the documentation to reflect you can specify the ttyS directly without the "serial" argument.

2009-09-17MIPS: Loongson: Add a machtype kernel command line argumentWu Zhangjin
The difference between some loongson-based machines is very small, so, if there is no necessary to add new kernel config options to cope with this difference, it will be better to share the same kernel image file between them, benefit from this, the linux distribution developers only have a need to compile the kernel one time. This machtype kernel command line argument will be used later to share the same kernel image file between two different machines(menglong & yeeloong) made by lemote.

2009-09-01sh: nmi_debug support.Paul Mundt
This implements support for NMI debugging that was shamelessly copied from the avr32 port. A bit of special magic is needed in the interrupt exception path given that the NMI exception handler is stubbed in to the regular exception handling table despite being reported in INTEVT. So we mangle the lookup and kick off an EXPEVT-style exception dispatch from the INTEVT path for exceptions that do_IRQ() has no chance of handling. As a result, we also drop the evt2irq() conversion from the do_IRQ() path and just do it in assembly. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2009-08-19NFS: Add a dns resolver for use with NFSv4 referrals and migrationTrond Myklebust
The NFSv4 and NFSv4.1 protocols both allow for the redirection of a client from one server to another in order to support filesystem migration and replication. For full protocol support, we need to add the ability to convert a DNS host name into an IP address that we can feed to the RPC client. We'll reuse the sunrpc cache, now that it has been converted to work with rpc_pipefs. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2009-08-14percpu: generalize first chunk allocator selectionTejun Heo
Now that all first chunk allocators are in mm/percpu.c, it makes sense to make generalize percpu_alloc kernel parameter. Define PCPU_FC_* and set pcpu_chosen_fc using early_param() in mm/percpu.c. Arch code can use the set value to determine which first chunk allocator to use. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

2009-08-12Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt: document libata's ignore_hpa optionMichael Prokop
By default the kernel honors the HPA (host protected area) of hard drives. Using libata's ignore_hpa module option it's possible to change this behaviour. Document usage and options of libata.ignore_hpa in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt. Signed-off-by: Michael Prokop <mika@grml.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

2009-07-08netpoll: Introduce netpoll_carrier_timeout kernel optionAnton Vorontsov
Some PHYs require longer timeouts for carrier detection, and auto-negotiation process may take indefinite amount of time. It may be inconvenient to force longer timeouts for sane PHYs, so let's introduce a kernel command line option. Since we're using module_param(), the option also can be changed in runtime.
