2009-06-19rfkill: export persistent attribute in sysfsAlan Jenkins
This information allows userspace to implement a hybrid policy where it can store the rfkill soft-blocked state in platform non-volatile storage if available, and if not then file-based storage can be used. Some users prefer platform non-volatile storage because of the behaviour when dual-booting multiple versions of Linux, or if the rfkill setting is changed in the BIOS setting screens, or if the BIOS responds to wireless-toggle hotkeys itself before the relevant platform driver has been loaded.

2009-06-19eeepc-laptop: read rfkill soft-blocked state on resumeAlan Jenkins
This will respect state changes over hibernation, e.g. if the user disables the wireless in the BIOS setup screen. It reveals an issue where ACPI silently kills the wireless on suspend. Normally, the BIOS restores the correct state from non-volatile storage on boot. But when hibernation is aborted, the wireless would remain killed. Fortunately we can work around this in the resume handler by simply writing back the same value we read from NVS. Signed-off-by: Alan Jenkins <alan-jenkins@tuffmail.co.uk> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-06-19rfkill: don't restore software blocked state on persistent devicesAlan Jenkins
The setting of the "persistent" flag is also made more explicit using a new rfkill_init_sw_state() function, instead of special-casing rfkill_set_sw_state() when it is called before registration. Suspend is a bit of a corner case so we try to get away without adding another hack to rfkill-input - it's going to be removed soon. If the state does change over suspend, users will simply have to prod rfkill-input twice in order to toggle the state. Userspace policy agents will be able to implement a more consistent user experience. For example, they can avoid the above problem if they toggle devices individually. Then there would be no "global state" to get out of sync. Currently there are only two rfkill drivers with persistent soft-blocked state. thinkpad-acpi already checks the software state on resume. eeepc-laptop will require modification.

2009-06-19rfkill: rfkill_set_block() when suspended nitpickAlan Jenkins
If we return after fiddling with the state, userspace will see the wrong state and rfkill_set_sw_state() won't work until the next call to rfkill_set_block(). At the moment rfkill_set_block() will always be called from rfkill_resume(), but this will change in future. Also, presumably the point of this test is to avoid bothering devices which may be suspended. If we don't want to call set_block(), we probably don't want to call query() either :-).

2009-06-19ath9k: Fix PCI FATAL interrupts by restoring RETRY_TIMEOUT disablingJouni Malinen
An earlier commit, 'ath9k: remove dummy PCI "retry timeout" fix', removed code that was documented to disable RETRY_TIMEOUT register (PCI reg 0x41) since it was claimed to be a no-op. However, it turns out that there are some combinations of hosts and ath9k-supported cards for which this is not a no-op (reg 0x41 has value 0x80, not 0) and this code (or something similar) is needed. In such cases, the driver may be next to unusable due to very frequent PCI FATAL interrupts from the card. Reverting the earlier commit, i.e., restoring the RETRY_TIMEOUT disabling, seems to resolve the issue. Since the removal of this code was not based on any known issue and was purely a cleanup change, the safest option here is to just revert that commit. Should there be desire to clean this up in the future, the change will need to be tested with a more complete coverage of cards and host systems. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13483 Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

The patch adds a mutex to protect the iwm_reset_worker against netdev ndo_open and ndo_stop because all of them call iwm_up and iwm_down in the implementation.

There are situations where the unwinder goes beyond stack boundaries and unwinds random data. This patch moves the stack boundaries check after the unwind_exec_insn() call and adds an extra check for possible infinite loops (like "mov pc, lr" with pc == lr). The patch also fixes a bug in the unwind instructions interpreter. The 0xb0 instruction can only set PC to LR if this wasn't already set by a previous instruction (this is used on exceptions taken while in kernel mode where svc_entry is annotated with ".save {r0 - pc}").

2009-06-19i2c: New macro to initialize i2c address lists on the flyHans Verkuil
For video4linux we sometimes need to probe for a single i2c address. Normally you would do it like this: static const unsigned short addrs[] = { addr, I2C_CLIENT_END }; client = i2c_new_probed_device(adapter, &info, addrs); This is a bit awkward and I came up with this macro: #define V4L2_I2C_ADDRS(addr, addrs...) \ ((const unsigned short []){ addr, ## addrs, I2C_CLIENT_END }) This can construct a list of one or more i2c addresses on the fly. But this is something that really belongs in i2c.h, renamed to I2C_ADDRS. With this macro we can just do: client = i2c_new_probed_device(adapter, &info, I2C_ADDRS(addr)); Note that this can also be used to initialize an array: static const unsigned short addrs[] = I2C_ADDRS(0x2a, 0x2c); Whether you want to is another matter, but it works.

2009-06-19i2c: Add a sysfs interface to instantiate devicesJean Delvare
Add a sysfs interface to instantiate and delete I2C devices. This is primarily a replacement of the force_* module parameters implemented by some i2c drivers. These module parameters were implemented internally by the I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD* macros, which don't scale well. This can also be used when developing a driver on a self-soldered board which doesn't yet have proper I2C device declaration at the platform level, and presumably for various debugging situations.

Improve a few details in perfcounter call-chain recording that makes use of fast-GUP: - Use ACCESS_ONCE() to observe the pte value. ptes are fundamentally racy and can be changed on another CPU, so we have to be careful about how we access them. The PAE branch is already careful with read-barriers - but the non-PAE and 64-bit side needs an ACCESS_ONCE() to make sure the pte value is observed only once. - make the checks a bit stricter so that we can feed it any kind of cra^H^H^H user-space input ;-) Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-06-19lib/checksum.c: fix endianess bugArnd Bergmann
The new generic checksum code has a small dependency on endianess and worked only on big-endian systems. I could not find a nice efficient way to express this, so I added an #ifdef. Using 'result += le16_to_cpu(*buff);' would have worked as well, but would be slightly less efficient on big-endian systems and IMHO would not be clearer. Also fix a bug that prevents this from working on 64-bit machines. If you have a 64-bit CPU and want to use the generic checksum code, you should probably do some more optimizations anyway, but at least the code should not break.

2009-06-19asm-generic: drop HARDIRQ_BITS definition from hardirq.hArnd Bergmann
Architechtures normally don't need to set a HARDIRQ_BITS unless they have hardcoded a specific value in assembly. This drops the definition from asm-generic/hardirq.h, which results in linux/hardirq.h setting its default of 10. Both the old default of 8 and the linux/hardirq.h default of 10 are sufficient because they only limit the number of nested hardirqs, and we normally run out of stack space much earlier than exceeding 256 or even 1024 nested interrupts.

2009-06-19mv643xx_eth: fix unicast filter programming in promiscuous modePrabhanjan Sarnaik
The Unicast Promiscious Mode (UPM) bit in the mv643xx_eth port configuration register doesn't do exactly what its name would suggest: setting this bit merely enables reception of all unicast frames with a destination address that differs from our local MAC address in bits [47:4]. In particular, it doesn't have any effect on unicast frames with a destination address that matches our MAC address in bits [47:4] -- these will still be tested against the 16-entry unicast address filter table. Therefore, if the interface is set to promiscuous mode, just setting the unicast promiscuous bit isn't enough -- we need to set all filter bits in the unicast filter table to 1 as well.
