ALSA: hda - add ideapad model for Conexant 5051 codec

2010-10-29T04:51:41+00:00

commit f7154de220f14073ef0d76638f85e254ad2e202f upstream.

Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 has an additional subwoofer connected at pin 0x1b,
which isn't muted when headphone is plugged in. This adds additional
support to the extra subwoofer via new ideapad model.

CRED: Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check and banner comment

2010-07-29T22:16:18+00:00

Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check by removing the following validation
condition:

	lockdep_tasklist_lock_is_held()

as commit_creds() does not take the tasklist_lock, and nor do most of the
functions that call it, so this check is pointless and it can prevent
detection of the RCU lock not being held if the tasklist_lock is held.

Instead, add the following validation condition:

	task->exit_state >= 0

to permit the access if the target task is dead and therefore unable to change
its own credentials.

Fix __task_cred()'s comment to:

 (1) discard the bit that says that the caller must prevent the target task
     from being deleted.  That shouldn't need saying.

 (2) Add a comment indicating the result of __task_cred() should not be passed
     directly to get_cred(), but rather than get_task_cred() should be used
     instead.

Also put a note into the documentation to enforce this point there too.

ACPI / Sleep: Allow the NVS saving to be skipped during suspend to RAM

2010-07-25T03:26:09+00:00

Commit 2a6b69765ad794389f2fc3e14a0afa1a995221c2
(ACPI: Store NVS state even when entering suspend to RAM) caused the
ACPI suspend code save the NVS area during suspend and restore it
during resume unconditionally, although it is known that some systems
need to use acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs for hibernation to work.  To allow
the affected systems to avoid saving and restoring the NVS area
during suspend to RAM and resume, introduce kernel command line
option acpi_sleep=nonvs and make acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs work as its
alias temporarily (add acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs to the feature removal
file).

documentation: fix almost duplicate filenames (IO/io-mapping.txt)

2010-07-20T17:49:30+00:00

Having both IO-mapping.txt and io-mapping.txt in Documentation/
was confusing and/or bothersome to some people, so rename
IO-mapping.txt to bus-virt-phys-mapping.txt.  Also update
Documentation/00-INDEX for both of these files.

lmb: rename to memblock

2010-07-14T07:14:00+00:00

via following scripts

      FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

      sed -i \
        -e 's/lmb/memblock/g' \
        -e 's/LMB/MEMBLOCK/g' \
        $FILES

      for N in $(find . -name lmb.[ch]); do
        M=$(echo $N | sed 's/lmb/memblock/g')
        mv $N $M
      done

and remove some wrong change like lmbench and dlmb etc.

also move memblock.c from lib/ to mm/

PCI/PM: Do not use native PCIe PME by default

2010-06-18T16:36:37+00:00

Commit c7f486567c1d0acd2e4166c47069835b9f75e77b
(PCI PM: PCIe PME root port service driver) causes the native PCIe
PME signaling to be used by default, if the BIOS allows the kernel to
control the standard configuration registers of PCIe root ports.
However, the native PCIe PME is coupled to the native PCIe hotplug
and calling pcie_pme_acpi_setup() makes some BIOSes expect that
the native PCIe hotplug will be used as well.  That, in turn, causes
problems to appear on systems where the PCIe hotplug driver is not
loaded.  The usual symptom, as reported by Jaroslav Kameník and
others, is that the ACPI GPE associated with PCIe hotplug keeps
firing continuously causing kacpid to take substantial percentage
of CPU time.

To work around this issue, change the default so that the native
PCIe PME signaling is only used if directly requested with the help
of the pcie_pme= command line switch.

Fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15924 , which is
a listed regression from 2.6.33.
