2011-03-11cciss: export resettable host attributeStephen M. Cameron
This attribute, requested by Redhat, allows kexec-tools to know whether the controller can honor the reset_devices kernel parameter and actually reset the controller. For kdump to work properly it is necessary that the reset_devices parameter be honored. This attribute enables kexec-tools to warn the user if they attempt to designate a non-resettable controller as the dump device. Signed-off-by: Stephen M.

2011-03-04PCI: Export ACPI _DSM provided firmware instance number and string name to sysfsNarendra_K@Dell.com
This patch exports ACPI _DSM (Device Specific Method) provided firmware instance number and string name of PCI devices as defined by 'PCI Firmware Specification Revision 3.1' section 4.6.7.( DSM for Naming a PCI or PCI Express Device Under Operating Systems) to sysfs. New files created are: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../label which contains the firmware name for the device in question, and /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../acpi_index which contains the firmware device type instance for the given device. cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0/acpi_index 1 cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0/label Embedded Broadcom 5709C NIC 1 cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.1/acpi_index 2 cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.1/label Embedded Broadcom 5709C NIC 2 The ACPI _DSM provided firmware 'instance number' and 'string name' will be given priority if the firmware also provides 'SMBIOS type 41 device type instance and string'.

2011-02-04drivers:misc: ti-st: move from rfkill to sysfsPavan Savoy
The communication between ST KIM and UIM was interfaced over the /dev/rfkill device node. Move the interface to a simpler less abusive sysfs entry mechanism and document it in Documentation/ABI/testing/ under sysfs-platform-kim. Shared transport driver would now read the UART details originally received by bootloader or firmware as platform data. The data read will be shared over sysfs entries for the user-space UIM or other n/w manager/plugins to be read, and assist the driver by opening up the UART, setting the baud-rate and installing the line discipline.

2011-01-24can: at91_can: make can_id of mailbox 0 configurableMarc Kleine-Budde
Due to a chip bug (errata 50.2.6.3 & 50.3.5.3 in "AT91SAM9263 Preliminary 6249H-ATARM-27-Jul-09") the contents of mailbox 0 may be send under certain conditions (even if disabled or in rx mode). The workaround in the errata suggests not to use the mailbox and load it with an unused identifier. This patch implements the second part of the workaround. A sysfs entry "mb0_id" is introduced. While the interface is down it can be used to configure the can_id of mailbox 0. The default value id 0x7ff. In order to use an extended can_id add the CAN_EFF_FLAG (0x80000000U) to the can_id. Example: - standard id 0x7ff: echo 0x7ff > /sys/class/net/can0/mb0_id - extended id 0x1fffffff: echo 0x9fffffff > /sys/class/net/can0/mb0_id Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde <mkl@pengutronix.de> Acked-by: Wolfgang Grandegger <wg@grandegger.com> Acked-by: Kurt Van Dijck <kurt.van.dijck@eia.be> For the Documentation-part: Acked-by: Wolfram Sang <w.sang@pengutronix.de>

2011-01-13leds: add output inversion option to backlight triggerJanusz Krzysztofik
Extend the LED backlight tirgger driver with an option that allows for inverting the trigger output polarity. With the invertion option provided, I (ab)use the backlight trigger for driving a LED that indicates LCD display blank condtition on my Amstrad Delta videophone. Since the machine has no dedicated power LED, it was not possible to distinguish if the display was blanked, or the machine was turned off, without touching it. The invert sysfs control is patterned after a similiar function of the GPIO trigger driver.

2010-10-22add Packet hub driver for Topcliff Platform controller hubMasayuki Ohtak
Packet hub driver of Topcliff PCH Topcliff PCH is the platform controller hub that is going to be used in Intel's upcoming general embedded platform. All IO peripherals in Topcliff PCH are actually devices sitting on AMBA bus. Packet hub is a special converter device in Topcliff PCH that translate AMBA transactions to PCI Express transactions and vice versa. Thus packet hub helps present all IO peripherals in Topcliff PCH as PCIE devices to IA system. Topcliff PCH has MAC address and Option ROM data. These data are in SROM which is connected to PCIE bus. Packet hub driver of Topcliff PCH can access MAC address and Option ROM data in SROM via sysfs interface. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2010-10-21IBM Real-Time "SMI Free" mode driver -v7Vernon Mauery
After a period of RFC for this driver, I think it is ready for inclusion in the platform-driver-x86 tree, hopefully to be staged in the next merge window into Linus's tree. --Vernon ------------------------------------------------------------ IBM Real-Time "SMI Free" mode driver This driver supports the Real-Time Linux (RTL) BIOS feature. The RTL feature allows non-fatal System Management Interrupts (SMIs) to be disabled on supported IBM platforms and is intended to be coupled with a user-space daemon to monitor the hardware in a way that can be prioritized and scheduled to better suit the requirements for the system. The Device is presented as a special "_RTL_" table to the OS in the Extended BIOS Data Area. There is a simple protocol for entering and exiting the mode at runtime. This driver creates a simple sysfs interface to allow a simple entry and exit from RTL mode in the UFI/BIOS. Since the driver is specific to IBM SystemX hardware (x86- based servers) it only builds on x86 builds. To reduce the risk of loading on the wrong hardware, the module uses DMI information and checks a list of servers that are known to work.

2010-10-17PM / Runtime: Implement autosuspend supportAlan Stern
This patch (as1427) implements the "autosuspend" facility for runtime PM. A few new fields are added to the dev_pm_info structure and several new PM helper functions are defined, for telling the PM core whether or not a device uses autosuspend, for setting the autosuspend delay, and for marking periods of device activity. Drivers that do not want to use autosuspend can continue using the same helper functions as before; their behavior will not change. In addition, drivers supporting autosuspend can also call the old helper functions to get the old behavior.

2010-10-17PM / Wakeup: Introduce wakeup source objects and event statistics (v3)Rafael J. Wysocki
Introduce struct wakeup_source for representing system wakeup sources within the kernel and for collecting statistics related to them. Make the recently introduced helper functions pm_wakeup_event(), pm_stay_awake() and pm_relax() use struct wakeup_source objects internally, so that wakeup statistics associated with wakeup devices can be collected and reported in a consistent way (the definition of pm_relax() is changed, which is harmless, because this function is not called directly by anyone yet). Introduce new wakeup-related sysfs device attributes in /sys/devices/.../power for reporting the device wakeup statistics. Change the global wakeup events counters event_count and events_in_progress into atomic variables, so that it is not necessary to acquire a global spinlock in pm_wakeup_event(), pm_stay_awake() and pm_relax(), which should allow us to avoid lock contention in these functions on SMP systems with many wakeup devices.

2010-10-11ieee1394: remove the old IEEE 1394 driver stackStefan Richter
The drivers - ohci1394 (controller driver) - ieee1394 (core) - dv1394, raw1394, video1394 (userspace ABI) - eth1394, sbp2 (protocol drivers) are replaced by - firewire-ohci (controller driver) - firewire-core (core and userspace ABI) - firewire-net, firewire-sbp2 (protocol drivers) which are more featureful, better performing, and more secure than the older drivers; all with a smaller and more modern code base. The driver firedtv in drivers/media/dvb/firewire/ contains backends to both ieee1394 and firewire-core. Its ieee1394 backend code can be removed in an independent commit; firedtv as-is builds and works fine without ieee1394. The driver pcilynx (an incomplete controller driver) is deleted without replacement since PCILynx cards are extremely rare. Owners of these cards use them with the stand-alone bus sniffer driver nosy instead. The drivers nosy and init_ohci1394_dma which do not interact with either of the two IEEE 1394 stacks are not affected by the ieee1394 subsystem removal. There are still some issues with the newer firewire subsystem compared to the older one: - The rare and quirky controllers ALi M52xx, Apple UniNorth v1, NVIDIA NForce2 are even less well supported by firewire-ohci than by ohci1394. I am looking into the M52xx issue. - The experimental firewire-net is reportedly less stable than its experimental cousin eth1394. - Audio playback of a certain group of audio devices (ones based on DICE chipset with EAP; supported by prerelease FFADO code) does not work yet. This issue is still under investigation. - There were some ieee1394 based out-of-the-mainline drivers. Of them, only lisight, an audio driver for iSight webcams, seems still useful. Work is underway to reimplement it on top of firewire-core. All these remainig issues are minor; they should not stand in the way of overall better user experience of IEEE 1394 on Linux, together with a reduction in support efforts and maintenance burden. The coexistence of two IEEE 1394 kernel driver stacks in the mainline since 2.6.22 shall end now, as announced earlier this year. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

2010-08-10USB: gadget: storage: optional SCSI WRITE FUA bitAndy Shevchenko
MS Windows mounts removable storage in "Removal optimized mode" by default. All the writes to the media are synchronous which is achieved by setting FUA (Force Unit Access) bit in SCSI WRITE(10,12) commands. This prevents I/O requests aggregation in block layer dramatically decreasing performance. This patch brings an option to accept or ignore mentioned bit a) via specifying module parameter "nofua", or b) through sysfs entry /sys/devices/platform/_UDC_/gadget/gadget-lunX/nofua (_UDC_ is the name of the USB Device Controller driver) Patch is based on the work that was done by Denis Karpov for Maemo 5 platform.

2010-08-09drivers/misc: support for the pressure sensor BMP085 from Bosch SensortecChristoph Mair
This driver adds support for the BMP085 digital pressure sensor from Bosch Sensortec. It exposes a sysfs api to userspace where pressure and temperature measurement results can be read from the pressure0_input and temp0_input file. The chip is able to calculate the average of up to eight samples to increase the accuracy. This feature can be controlled by writing to the oversampling file. The BMP085 digital pressure sensor can measure ambient air pressure and temperature. Both values can be obtained from sysfs files. The pressure is measured by reading from pressure0_input. Valid values range from 30000 to 110000 pascal with a resolution of 1 pascal (=0.01 millibar). temp0_input holds the current temperature in degree celsius, multiplied by 10. This results in a resolution of a tenth degree celsius. Values range from -400 to 850. To increase the accuracy, this chip can calculate the average of 1, 2, 4 or 8 samples. This behavior is controlled through the oversampling sysfs file. Two to the power of the value written to that file specifies how many samples will be used. Valid values: 0..3.
