2010-03-24get_maintainer: repair STDIN usageWolfram Sang
Commit 22dd5b0cba50a197aaa3bd2790a29ee2e8e4e372 (fix perlcritic warnings) broke the ability to handle STDIN because the three argument version of open() cannot handle standard IO-streams (which is mentioned in PerlBestPractices, too).

2010-03-24Documentation/volatile-considered-harmful.txt: correct cpu_relax() documentationRussell King
cpu_relax() is documented in volatile-considered-harmful.txt to be a memory barrier. However, everyone with the exception of Blackfin and possibly ia64 defines cpu_relax() to be a compiler barrier. Make the documentation reflect the general concensus. Linus sayeth: : I don't think it was ever the intention that it would be seen as anything : but a compiler barrier, although it is obviously implied that it might : well perform some per-architecture actions that have "memory barrier-like" : semantics. : : After all, the whole and only point of the "cpu_relax()" thing is to tell : the CPU that we're busy-looping on some event. : : And that "event" might be (and often is) about reading the same memory : location over and over until it changes to what we want it to be. So it's : quite possible that on various architectures the "cpu_relax()" could be : about making sure that such a tight loop on loads doesn't starve cache : transactions, for example - and as such look a bit like a memory barrier : from a CPU standpoint. : : But it's not meant to have any kind of architectural memory ordering : semantics as far as the kernel is concerned - those must come from other : sources.

2010-03-24firewire: core: align driver match with modaliasStefan Richter
The driver match strategy was: - Match vendor/model/specifier/version of the unit directory. - If that was a miss, match vendor from the root directory and model/specifier/version of the unit directory. This was inconsistent with how the modalias string was constructed until recently (take vendor/model from root directory and specifier/ version from unit directory). It was also inconsistent with how it is done since the parent commit: - Use vendor/model/specifier/version of the unit directory if possible, - fall back to one or more of vendor/model/specifier/version from the root directory depending on which ones are not present at the unit directory. Fix this inconsistency by sharing the ROM scanner function between modalias printer function and driver match function. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
2010-03-24firewire: core: fix Model_ID in modaliasStefan Richter
The modalias string of devices that represent units on a FireWire node did not show Module_ID entries within unit directories. This was because firewire-core searched only the root directory of the configuration ROM for a Model_ID entry. We now search first the root directory, then the unit directory. IOW honor a unit directory's Model_ID if present, otherwise fall back to the root directory's model ID (if present). Furthermore, apply the same change to Vendor_ID. This had the same issue but it was less apparent because most devices provide Vendor_ID only in the root directory. And finally, also use this strategy for the remaining two IDs in the modalias, Specifier_ID and Version. It does not actually make sense to look for them elsewhere than in the unit directory because they are mandatory there. However, a uniform search order simplifies the implementation and has no adverse affect in practice. Side notes: - The older counterpart of this, nodemgr.c of ieee1394, looked for Vendor_ID first in the root directory, then in the unit directory, and for Model_ID only in the unit directory. - There is a single mainline driver which requires Vendor_ID and Model_ID --- the firedtv driver. This one worked because FireDTVs provide Vendor_ID in the root directory and Model_ID identically in root directory and unit directory. - Apart from firedtv, there are currently no drivers known to me (including userspace drivers) that look at the Vendor_ID or Model_ID of the modalias.

2010-03-24PCI quirk: RS780/RS880: work around missing MSI initializationClemens Ladisch
AMD says in section 2.5.4 (GFX MSI Enable) of #43291 (AMD 780G Family Register Programming Requirements): The SBIOS must enable internal graphics MSI capability in GCCFG by setting the following: NBCFG.NB_CNTL.STRAP_MSI_ENABLE='1' Quite a few BIOS writers misinterpret this sentence and think that enabling MSI is an optional feature. However, clearing that bit just prevents delivery of MSI messages but does not remove the MSI PCI capabilities registers, and so leaves these devices unusable for any driver that attempts to use MSI. Setting that bit is not possible after the BIOS has locked down the configuration registers, so we have to manually disable MSI for the affected devices. This fixes the codec communication errors in the HDA driver when accessing the HDMI audio device, and allows us to get rid of the overcautious quirk in radeon_irq_kms.c.

2010-03-24PCI quirk: only apply CX700 PCI bus parking quirk if external VT6212L is presentTim Yamin
Apply the CX700 quirk only when an external VT6212L is present (which is the case for the errant hardware the quirk was written for), don't touch the settings otherwise -- Hauppage PVR-500 tuners need PCI Bus Parking in order to work and when that's turned on everything seems to behave fine. I guess the underlying problem is a combination of an external VT6212L and the CX700 rather than the CX700's PCI being broken completely for all cases...

Add support for basic configuration of a connection quality monitoring to the nl80211 interface, and basic support for notifying about triggered monitoring events. Via this interface a user-space connection manager may configure and receive pre-warning events of deteriorating WLAN connection quality, and start preparing for roaming in advance, before the connection is already lost. An example usage of such a trigger is starting scanning for nearby AP's in an attempt to find one with better connection quality, and associate to it before the connection characteristics of the existing connection become too bad or the association is even lost, leading in a prolonged delay in connectivity. The interface currently supports only RSSI, but it could be later extended to include other parameters, such as signal-to-noise ratio, if need for that arises.
