2006-09-16V4L/DVB: Medion 7134: Autodetect second bridge chipMichael Krufky
The device, Medion 7134, has two saa7134 chips on it, but only one of them is functional in the current saa7134 driver. This patch adds autodetection for the second, unsupported saa7134 chip, as SAA7134_BOARD_MD7134_BRIDGE_2, and displays a message to the user (in dmesg) indicating that the second chip isn't yet functional. This is useful for users, since two instances of the saa7134 driver will spawn. This patch will prevent confusion by warning the user that only one of the chips on the board are functional. There are other versions of the SAA7134_BOARD_MD7134 with only a single saa7134 bridge/decoder -- those devices will not be affected by this patch. Only devices containing the second chip will display the warning.

2006-03-08[PATCH] i386: port ATI timer fix from x86_64 to i386 IIAndi Kleen
ATI chipsets tend to generate double timer interrupts for the local APIC timer when both the 8254 and the IO-APIC timer pins are enabled. This is because they route it to both and the result is anded together and the CPU ends up processing it twice. This patch changes check_timer to disable the 8254 routing for interrupt 0. I think it would be safe on all chipsets actually (i tested it on a couple and it worked everywhere) and Windows seems to do it in a similar way, but to be conservative this patch only enables this mode on ATI (and adds options to enable/disable too) Ported over from a similar x86-64 change. I reused the ACPI earlyquirk infrastructure for the ATI bridge check, but tweaked it a bit to work even without ACPI. Inspired by a patch from Chuck Ebbert, but redone.

2006-03-08[PATCH] rcu batch tuningDipankar Sarma
This patch adds new tunables for RCU queue and finished batches. There are two types of controls - number of completed RCU updates invoked in a batch (blimit) and monitoring for high rate of incoming RCUs on a cpu (qhimark, qlowmark). By default, the per-cpu batch limit is set to a small value. If the input RCU rate exceeds the high watermark, we do two things - force quiescent state on all cpus and set the batch limit of the CPU to INTMAX. Setting batch limit to INTMAX forces all finished RCUs to be processed in one shot. If we have more than INTMAX RCUs queued up, then we have bigger problems anyway. Once the incoming queued RCUs fall below the low watermark, the batch limit is set to the default. Signed-off-by: Dipankar Sarma <dipankar@in.ibm.com> Cc: "Paul E.

2006-02-26[PATCH] x86_64: Better ATI timer fixAndi Kleen
The previous experiment for using apicmaintimer on ATI systems didn't work out very well. In particular laptops with C2/C3 support often don't let it tick during idle, which makes it useless. There were also some other bugs that made the apicmaintimer often not used at all. I tried some other experiments - running timer over RTC and some other things but they didn't really work well neither. I rechecked the specs now and it turns out this simple change is actually enough to avoid the double ticks on the ATI systems. We just turn off IRQ 0 in the 8254 and only route it directly using the IO-APIC. I tested it on a few ATI systems and it worked there. In fact it worked on all chipsets (NVidia, Intel, AMD, ATI) I tried it on. According to the ACPI spec routing should always work through the IO-APIC so I think it's the correct thing to do anyways (and most of the old gunk in check_timer should be thrown away for x86-64). But for 2.6.16 it's best to do a fairly minimal change: - Use the known to be working everywhere-but-ATI IRQ0 both over 8254 and IO-APIC setup everywhere - Except on ATI disable IRQ0 in the 8254 - Remove the code to select apicmaintimer on ATI chipsets - Add some boot options to allow to override this (just paranoia) In 2.6.17 I hope to switch the default over to this for everybody.

2006-02-22Revert mount/umount uevent removalGreg Kroah-Hartman
This change reverts the 033b96fd30db52a710d97b06f87d16fc59fee0f1 commit from Kay Sievers that removed the mount/umount uevents from the kernel. Some older versions of HAL still depend on these events to detect when a new device has been mounted. These events are not correctly emitted, and are broken by design, and so, should not be relied upon by any future program. Instead, the /proc/mounts file should be polled to properly detect this kind of event. A feature-removal-schedule.txt entry has been added, noting when this interface will be removed from the kernel.

2006-02-21[PATCH] tmpfs: fix mount mpol nodelist parsingHugh Dickins
I've been dissatisfied with the mpol_nodelist mount option which was added to tmpfs earlier in -rc. Replace it by mpol=policy:nodelist. And it was broken: a nodelist is a comma-separated list of numbers and ranges; the mount options are a comma-separated list of token=values. Whoops, blindly strsep'ing on commas doesn't work so well: since we've no numeric tokens, and unlikely to add them, use that to distinguish. Move the mpol= parsing to shmem_parse_mpol under CONFIG_NUMA, reject all its options as invalid if not NUMA. /proc shows MPOL_PREFERRED as "prefer", so use that name for the policy instead of "preferred". Enforce that mpol=default has no nodelist; that mpol=prefer has one node only; that mpol=bind has a nodelist; but let mpol=interleave use node_online_map if no nodelist given.
