2008-07-25misc: add HP WMI laptop extras driverMatthew Garrett
This driver adds support for reading and configuring certain information on modern HP laptops with WMI BIOS interfaces. It supports enabling and disabling the ambient light sensor, querying attached displays and hard drive temperature, sending events on docking and querying the state of the dock and toggling the state of the wifi, bluetooth and wwan hardware via rfkill. It also makes the little "(i)" button work on machines that send that via WMI rather than via the keyboard controller.

2008-07-25call_usermodehelper(): increase reliabilityKOSAKI Motohiro
Presently call_usermodehelper_setup() uses GFP_ATOMIC. but it can return NULL _very_ easily. GFP_ATOMIC is needed only when we can't sleep. and, GFP_KERNEL is robust and better. thus, I add gfp_mask argument to call_usermodehelper_setup(). So, its callers pass the gfp_t as below: call_usermodehelper() and call_usermodehelper_keys(): depend on 'wait' argument. call_usermodehelper_pipe(): always GFP_KERNEL because always run under process context. orderly_poweroff(): pass to GFP_ATOMIC because may run under interrupt context.

2008-07-25asm-generic/int-ll64.h: always provide __{s,u}64Adrian Bunk
Several compilers offer "long long" without claiming to support C99. Considering how frequent __s64/__u64 are used our userspace headers are anyway unusable without __s64/__u64 available. Always offer __s64/__u64 to non-gcc non-C99 compilers - if they provide "long long" that makes the headers compiling and if they don't they are anyway screwed.

2008-07-25build kernel/profile.o only when requestedAdrian Bunk
Build kernel/profile.o only if CONFIG_PROFILING is enabled. This makes CONFIG_PROFILING=n kernels smaller. As a bonus, some profile_tick() calls and one branch from schedule() are now eliminated with CONFIG_PROFILING=n (but I doubt these are measurable effects). This patch changes the effects of CONFIG_PROFILING=n, but I don't think having more than two choices would be the better choice. This patch also adds the name of the first parameter to the prototypes of profile_{hits,tick}() since I anyway had to add them for the dummy functions.

2008-07-25introduce HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS Kconfig symbolJohannes Berg
In many cases, especially in networking, it can be beneficial to know at compile time whether the architecture can do unaligned accesses efficiently. This patch introduces a new Kconfig symbol HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS for that purpose and adds it to the powerpc and x86 architectures. Also add some documentation about alignment and networking, and especially one intended use of this symbol.

2008-07-25lib: allow memparse() to accept a NULL and ignorable second parmRobert P. J. Day
Extend memparse() to allow the caller to use a NULL second parameter, which would represent no interest in returning the address of the end of the parsed string. In numerous cases, callers invoke memparse() to parse a possibly-suffixed string (such as "64K" or "2G" or whatever) and define a character pointer to accept the end pointer being returned by memparse() even though they have no interest in it and promptly throw it away. This (backward-compatible) enhancement allows callers to use NULL in the cases where they just don't care about getting back that end pointer.

Currently, checkstack.pl only looks for fixed subtractions from the stack pointer.

Changeset 7fa897b91a3ea0f16c2873b869d7a0eef05acff4 ("ide: trivial sparse annotations") created an IDE bootup regression on big-endian systems. In drivers/ide/ide-iops.c, function ide_fixstring() we now have the loop: for (p = end ; p != s;) be16_to_cpus((u16 *)(p -= 2)); which will never terminate on big-endian because in such a configuration be16_to_cpus() evaluates to "do { } while (0)" Therefore, always evaluate the arguments to nop endian transformation operations.

2008-07-25[MTD] [NOR] Fix -ETIMEO errors in CFI driverAlexey Korolev
Existing CFI driver has problems with excessive writes during erase. If CFI driver does many writes during one erase cycle we may face the messages with -ETIMEO error on erase operation. It may cause the following data corruption and kernel panics. The reason of the issue is related to specifics of suspend operation: if we write to flash during erase, suspend operation will cost some time to erase procedure (for P30 it could be significant). In current version of cfi driver the problem of many suspends is partially workarounded by adding some time reserv to any operation (8xerase_time) but if we have many writes during one erase the problem appears. This patch detects the suspend and resets timer if suspend occured. It has been well verified on different chips. No problems were found.

2008-07-25firewire: fw-ohci: TSB43AB22/A dualbuffer workaroundStefan Richter
Isochronous reception in dualbuffer mode is reportedly broken with TI TSB43AB22A on x86-64. Descriptor addresses above 2G have been determined as the trigger: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435550 Two fixes are possible: - pci_set_consistent_dma_mask(pdev, DMA_31BIT_MASK); at least when IR descriptors are allocated, or - simply don't use dualbuffer. This fix implements the latter workaround. But we keep using dualbuffer on x86-32 which won't give us highmen (and thus physical addresses outside the 31bit range) in coherent DMA memory allocations. Right now we could for example also whitelist PPC32, but DMA mapping implementation details are expected to change there.
