2009-04-06leds: Add rb532 LED driver for the User LEDPhil Sutter
Mikrotik built six LEDs into the Routerboard 532, from which one is destined for custom use, the so called "User LED". This patch adds a driver for it, based on the LEDs class. Signed-off-by: Phil Sutter <n0-1@freewrt.org> Acked-by: Florian Fainelli <florian@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@linux.intel.com>
2009-04-06leds: Add suspend/resume state flags to leds-gpioRichard Purdie
Add an option to preserve LED state when suspending/resuming to the LED gpio driver. Based on a suggestion from Robert Jarzmik. Tested-by: Robert Jarzmik <robert.jarzmik@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@linux.intel.com>
2009-04-06leds: simple driver for pwm driven LEDsLuotao Fu
Add a simple driver for pwm driver LEDs. pwm_id and period can be defined in board file. It is developed for pxa, however it is probably generic enough to be used on other platforms with pwm.

2009-04-06leds: Fix leds-gpio driver multiple module_init/exit usageRichard Purdie
You can't have multiple module_init()/module_exit calls so resort to messy ifdefs potentially pending some code refactoring. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@linux.intel.com>

2009-04-06leds: allow led-drivers to use a variable range of brightness valuesGuennadi Liakhovetski
This patch allows drivers to override the default maximum brightness value of 255. We take care to preserve backwards-compatibility as much as possible, so that user-space ABI doesn't change for existing drivers. LED trigger code has also been updated to use the per-LED maximum.

2009-04-06leds: Add openfirmware platform device supportTrent Piepho
Add bindings to support LEDs defined as of_platform devices in addition to the existing bindings for platform devices. New options in Kconfig allow the platform binding code and/or the of_platform code to be turned on. The of_platform code is of course only available on archs that have OF support. The existing probe and remove methods are refactored to use new functions create_gpio_led(), to create and register one led, and delete_gpio_led(), to unregister and free one led. The new probe and remove methods for the of_platform driver can then share most of the common probe and remove code with the platform driver. The suspend and resume methods aren't shared, but they are very short. The actual led driving code is the same for LEDs created by either binding. The OF bindings are based on patch by Anton Vorontsov <avorontsov@ru.mvista.com>. They have been extended to allow multiple LEDs per device.

2009-04-05audit: ignore terminating NUL in AUDIT_USER_TTY messagesMiloslav Trmac
AUDIT_USER_TTY, like all other messages sent from user-space, is sent NUL-terminated. Unlike other user-space audit messages, which come only from trusted sources, AUDIT_USER_TTY messages are processed using audit_log_n_untrustedstring(). This patch modifies AUDIT_USER_TTY handling to ignore the trailing NUL and use the "quoted_string" representation of the message if possible.

2009-04-05Audit: fix handling of 'strings' with NULL charactersMiloslav Trmac
currently audit_log_n_untrustedstring() uses audit_string_contains_control() to check if the 'string' has any control characters. If the 'string' has an embedded NULL audit_string_contains_control() will return that the data has no control characters and will then pass the string to audit_log_n_string with the total length, not the length up to the first NULL. audit_log_n_string() does a memcpy of the entire length and so the actual audit record emitted may then contain a NULL and then whatever random memory is after the NULL. Since we want to log the entire octet stream (if we can't trust the data to be a string we can't trust that a NULL isn't actually a part of it) we should just consider NULL as a control character. If the caller is certain they want to stop at the first NULL they should be using audit_log_untrustedstring.

2009-04-05audit: EXECVE record - removed bogus newlineJiri Pirko
(updated) Added hunk that changes the comment, the rest is the same. EXECVE records contain a newline after every argument. auditd converts "\n" to " " so you cannot see newlines even in raw logs, but they're there nevertheless. If you're not using auditd, you need to work round them. These '\n' chars are can be easily replaced by spaces when creating record in kernel. Note there is no need for trailing '\n' in an audit record. record before this patch: "type=EXECVE msg=audit(1231421801.566:31): argc=4 a0=\"./test\"\na1=\"a\"\na2=\"b\"\na3=\"c\"\n" record after this patch: "type=EXECVE msg=audit(1231421801.566:31): argc=4 a0=\"./test\" a1=\"a\" a2=\"b\" a3=\"c\"" Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Acked-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2009-04-05ACPI: support acpi_device_ops .notify methodsBjorn Helgaas
This patch adds support for ACPI device driver .notify() methods. If such a method is present, Linux/ACPI installs a handler for device notifications (but not for system notifications such as Bus Check, Device Check, etc). When a device notification occurs, Linux/ACPI passes it on to the driver's .notify() method. In most cases, this removes the need for drivers to install their own handlers for device-specific notifications. For fixed hardware devices like some power and sleep buttons, there's no notification value because there's no control method to execute a Notify opcode. When a fixed hardware device generates an event, we handle it the same as a regular device notification, except we send a ACPI_FIXED_HARDWARE_EVENT value. This is outside the normal 0x0-0xff range used by Notify opcodes. Several drivers install their own handlers for system Bus Check and Device Check notifications so they can support hot-plug. This patch doesn't affect that usage. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Reviewed-by: Alex Chiang <achiang@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
