2008-02-23documentation: atomic_add_unless() doesn't imply mb() on failureOleg Nesterov
(sorry for being offtpoic, but while experts are here...) A "typical" implementation of atomic_add_unless() can return 0 immediately after the first atomic_read() (before doing cmpxchg). In that case it doesn't provide any barrier semantics. See include/asm-ia64/atomic.h as an example. We should either change the implementation, or fix the docs.

2008-02-23PM: Introduce PM_EVENT_HIBERNATE callback stateRafael J. Wysocki
During the last step of hibernation in the "platform" mode (with the help of ACPI) we use the suspend code, including the devices' ->suspend() methods, to prepare the system for entering the ACPI S4 system sleep state. But at least for some devices the operations performed by the ->suspend() callback in that case must be different from its operations during regular suspend. For this reason, introduce the new PM event type PM_EVENT_HIBERNATE and pass it to the device drivers' ->suspend() methods during the last phase of hibernation, so that they can distinguish this case and handle it as appropriate. Modify the drivers that handle PM_EVENT_SUSPEND in a special way and need to handle PM_EVENT_HIBERNATE in the same way. These changes are necessary to fix a hibernation regression related to the i915 driver (ref. http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/22/488). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2008-02-16ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add tablet-mode reportingHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
A quick study of the 0x5009/0x500A HKEY event on the X61t DSDT revealed the existence of the EC HTAB register (EC 0x0f, bit 7), and a compare with the X41t DSDT shows that HKEY.MHKG can be used to verify if the ThinkPad is tablet-capable (MHKG present), and in tablet mode (bit 3 of MHKG return is set). Add an attribute to report this information, "hotkey_tablet_mode". This attribute has poll()/select() support, and can be used along with EV_SW SW_TABLET_MODE to hook userspace to tablet events.
