122d15888a V4L/DVB (6619): Use MTS firmware for the HVR-900
The HVR-900 requires the MTS version of the xc3028 firmware in order
to get any sound. The below patch selects this firmware variant on
HVR-900 cards, as well as splitting the HVR-950 into its own entry
(since I don't know if it uses the MTS variant and it will have to be
split off eventually anyway).

86ef5c9a8e cpu-hotplug: replace lock_cpu_hotplug() with get_online_cpus()
Replace all lock_cpu_hotplug/unlock_cpu_hotplug from the kernel and use
get_online_cpus and put_online_cpus instead as it highlights the
refcount semantics in these operations.

The new API guarantees protection against the cpu-hotplug operation, but
it doesn't guarantee serialized access to any of the local data
structures. Hence the changes needs to be reviewed.

In case of pseries_add_processor/pseries_remove_processor, use
cpu_maps_update_begin()/cpu_maps_update_done() as we're modifying the
cpu_present_map there.

Salyzyn, Mark
cb1042f285 [SCSI] aacraid: add Voodoo Lite class of cards.
The cards being added are supported in a limited sense already through
family matching, but we needed to add some functionality to the driver
to expose selectively the physical drives. These Physical drives are
specifically marked to not be part of any array and thus are declared
JBODs (Just a Bunch Of Drives) for generic SCSI access.

We report that this is the second patch in a set of two, but merely
depends on the stand-alone functionality of the first patch which adds
in that case the ability to report a driver feature flag via sysfs. We
leverage that functionality by reporting that this driver now supports
this new JBOD feature for the controller so that the array management
applications may react accordingly and guide the user as they manage
the controller.

the Block Ciphers interface in fact supports all ciphers including stream
ciphers.

It also removes the obsolete Configuration Notes section and adds the
linux-crypto mailing list as the primary bug reporting address.

Finally it documents the fact that setkey should only be called from

ab99eee8ac [POWERPC] Xilinx: Update booting-without-of.
This now better describes what the UBoot device tree generator
actually does.  In particular:

1) Nodes have a label derived from the device name, and a node name
derived from a generic version of the device type, e.g. 'ethernet',
'serial', etc.

2) Usage of compound nodes (representing more than one device in the
same IP) which actually works.  This requires having a valid
compatible node, and all the other things that a bus normally has.
I've chosen 'xlnx,compound' as the bus name to describe these compound
nodes.

In addition, I've clarified some of the language relating to how mhs
nodes should be represent in the device tree.

92ffb85dd3 [IPV4] ipconfig: Fix regression in ip command line processing
The recent changes for ip command line processing fixed some problems
but unfortunately broke some common usage scenarios.  In current
2.6.24-rc6 the following command line results in no IP address
assignment, which is surely a regression:

 ip=10.0.2.15::10.0.2.2:255.255.255.0::eth0:off

a6c05c3d06 [IPV4]: Fix ip command line processing.
Recently the documentation in Documentation/nfsroot.txt was
update to note that in fact ip=off and ip=::::::off as the
latter is ignored and the default (on) is used.

This was certainly a step in the direction of reducing confusion.
But it seems to me that the code ought to be fixed up so that
ip=::::::off actually turns off ip autoconfiguration.

This patch also notes more specifically that ip=on (aka ip=::::::on)
is the default.

6f6652be18 bonding: Add new layer2+3 hash for xor/802.3ad modes
Add new hash for balance-xor and 802.3ad modes.  Originally
 submitted by "Glenn Griffin" <ggriffin.kernel@gmail.com>; modified by
 Jay Vosburgh to move setting of hash policy out of line, tweak the
 documentation update and add version update to 3.2.2.

	Glenn's original comment follows:

Included is a patch for a new xmit_hash_policy for the bonding driver
that selects slaves based on MAC and IP information.  This is a middle
ground between what currently exists in the layer2 only policy and the
layer3+4 policy.  This policy strives to be fully 802.3ad compliant by
transmitting every packet of any particular flow over the same link.
As documented the layer3+4 policy is not fully compliant for extreme
cases such as ip fragmentation, so this policy is a nice compromise
for environments that require full compliance but desire more than the
layer2 only policy.

2868f89fc4 The namespaces compatibility list doc
People discuss how the namespaces are working/going-to-work together.

Ted Ts'o proposed to create some document that describes what problems user
may have when he/she creates some new namespace, but keeps others shared.
I liked this idea, so here's the initial version of such a document with
the problems I currently have in mind and can describe somewhat audibly -
the "namespaces compatibility list".

The Documentation/namespaces/ directory is about to contain more docs about
the namespaces stuff.

Thanks to Cedirc for notes and spell checks on the doc, to Daniel for
additional info about IPC and User namespaces interaction and to Randy, who
alluded me to using a spell checker before sending the documentation :)

42b36cc0ce virtio: Force use of power-of-two for descriptor ring sizes
The virtio descriptor rings of size N-1 were nicely set up to be
aligned to an N-byte boundary.  But as Anthony Liguori points out, the
free-running indices used by virtio require that the sizes be a power
of 2, otherwise we get problems on wrap (demonstrated with lguest).

So we replace the clever "2^n-1" scheme with a simple "align to page
boundary" scheme: this means that all virtio rings take at least two
pages, but it's safer than guessing cache alignment.

20474abda6 [POWERPC] Fix cache line vs. block size confusion
We had an historical confusion in the kernel between cache line
and cache block size. The former is an implementation detail of
the L1 cache which can be useful for performance optimisations,
the later is the actual size on which the cache control
instructions operate, which can be different.

For some reason, we had a weird hack reading the right property
on powermac and the wrong one on any other 64 bits (32 bits is
unaffected as it only uses the cputable for cache block size
infos at this stage).

This fixes the booting-without-of.txt documentation to mention
the right properties, and fixes the 64 bits initialization code
to look for the block size first, with a fallback to the line
size if the property is missing.

e11e211a0b ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: prefer standard ACPI backlight level control
Newer Lenovo BIOSes support the standard ACPI backlight brightness
interface (_BCM, _BQC, _BCL).  It should be used instead of the native
thinkpad backlight brightness control interface when possible.

This patch disables the native brightness support in the driver by default
when we detect that the standard ACPI interface is available.  The local
admin can still enable it using the module parameter "brightness_enable".

Note that we need to detect the standard ACPI backlight interface only in
boxes for which we would load the native backlight interface in the first
place, and that no ThinkPad BIOS has _BCL but misses the other methods, so
the detection routines can be really simple.

a3f104c02a ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: support 16 levels of brightness (v3)
Lenovo ThinkPads often have 16 brightness levels in EC, and not just eight
levels like older ThinkPads.  They also have standard ACPI backlight
brightness control.

We detect the number of brightness levels by the presence of a BCLL package
with 16 entries.  If BCLL is not there, we assume eight levels (Z6*).  If
it is there, but it doesn't have 16 entries, we assume eight levels (T60).
Otherwise we assume sixteen levels (T61, X61, etc).

We don't use _BCL because it can have side-effects in thinkpads.  Thanks to
Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> for notifying me of this potential
problem.

Using the standard ACPI backlight brightness control *instead* of the
native thinkpad backlight control is a better idea, though.  A different
patch will take care of this.

ca77329fb7 [libata] Link power management infrastructure
Device Initiated Power Management, which is defined
in SATA 2.5 can be enabled for disks which support it.
This patch enables DIPM when the user sets the link
power management policy to "min_power".

Additionally, libata drivers can define a function
(enable_pm) that will perform hardware specific actions to
enable whatever power management policy the user set up
for Host Initiated Power management (HIPM).
This power management policy will be activated after all
disks have been enumerated and intialized.  Drivers should
also define disable_pm, which will turn off link power
management, but not change link power management policy.

Documentation/scsi/link_power_management_policy.txt has additional
information.

This quirk can very likely support more than just nForce 4

but I don't have those chipsets, so cannot add and test them.

Tested on an Abit KN9 (CK804).

814a0e5cdf Revert lguest magic and use hook in head.S
Version 2.07 of the boot protocol uses 0x23C for the hardware_subarch
field, that for lguest is "1".  This allows us to use the standard
boot entry point rather than the "GenuineLguest" string hack.

The standard entry point also clears the BSS and copies the boot parameters
and commandline for us, saving more code.

56ae43dfe2 Example launcher handle guests not being ready for input
We currently discard console and network input when the guest has no
input buffers.  This patch changes that, so that we simply stop
listening to that fd until the guest refills its input buffers.

This is particularly important because hvc_console without interrupts
does backoff polling and so often lose characters if we discard.

47436aa4ad Boot with virtual == physical to get closer to native Linux.
1) This allows us to get alot closer to booting bzImages.

2) It means we don't have to know page_offset.

3) The Guest needs to modify the boot pagetables to create the
   PAGE_OFFSET mapping before jumping to C code.

4) guest_pa() walks the page tables rather than using page_offset.

5) We don't use page_offset to figure out whether to emulate: it was
   always kinda quesationable, and won't work for instructions done
   before remapping (bzImage unpacking in particular).

6) We still want the kernel address for tlb flushing: have the initial
   hypercall give us that, too.

Apply Clue 2x4 to lguest userland<->kernel handling code and the

In order to avoid problematic special linking of the Launcher, we give
the Host an offset: this means we can use any memory region in the

The result is quite pleasing: a number of casts are replaced with
simple additions.

96de0e252c Convert files to UTF-8 and some cleanups
* Convert files to UTF-8.

  * Also correct some people's names
    (one example is Eißfeldt, which was found in a source file.
    Given that the author used an ß at all in a source file
    indicates that the real name has in fact a 'ß' and not an 'ss',
    which is commonly used as a substitute for 'ß' when limited to
    7bit.)

  * Correct town names (Goettingen -> Göttingen)

  * Update Eberhard Mönkeberg's address (http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/8/313)
