2008-10-16profiling: dynamically enable readprofile at runtimeDave Hansen1-0/+13
Way too often, I have a machine that exhibits some kind of crappy behavior. The CPU looks wedged in the kernel or it is spending way too much system time and I wonder what is responsible. I try to run readprofile. But, of course, Ubuntu doesn't enable it by default. Dang! The reason we boot-time enable it is that it takes a big bufffer that we generally can only bootmem alloc. But, does it hurt to at least try and runtime-alloc it? To use: echo 2 > /sys/kernel/profile Then run readprofile like normal. This should fix the compile issue with allmodconfig. I've compile-tested on a bunch more configs now including a few more architectures.

2008-10-16vsprintf: use new vsprintf symbolic function pointer formatBjorn Helgaas1-0/+9
Use the '%pF' format to get rid of an "#ifdef DEBUG" and make some printks atomic. This removes the last in-tree uses of print_fn_descriptor_symbol(). I marked print_fn_descriptor_symbol() deprecated and scheduled it for removal next year to give time for out-of-tree modules to be updated. parisc's print_fn_descriptor_symbol() is currently broken there (it needs to dereference the function pointer similar to ia64 and power). This patch shouldn't make anything worse, but it means we need to fix dereference_function_descriptor() instead of print_fn_descriptor_symbol() to get meaningful initcall_debug output.

2008-10-14regulator: core - Rework machine API to remove string based functions.Liam Girdwood2-78/+70
This improves the machine level API in order to configure regulator constraints and consumers as platform data and removes the old string based API that required several calls to set up each regulator. The intention is to create a struct regulator_init_data, populate it's fields with constraints, consumers devices, etc and then register the regulator device from board.c in the standard Linux way. e.g. regulator LDO2 (supplying codec and sim) platform data. /* regulator LDO2 consumer devices */ static struct regulator_consumer_supply ldo2_consumers[] = { { .dev = &platform_audio_device.dev, .supply = "codec_avdd", }, { .dev = &platform_sim_device.dev, .supply = "sim_vcc", } }; /* regulator LDO2 constraints */ static struct regulator_init_data ldo2_data = { .constraints = { .min_uV = 3300000, .max_uV = 3300000, .valid_modes_mask = REGULATOR_MODE_NORMAL, .apply_uV = 1, }, .num_consumer_supplies = ARRAY_SIZE(ldo2_consumers), .consumer_supplies = ldo2_consumers, }; /* machine regulator devices with thier consumers and constraints */ static struct platform_device wm8350_regulator_devices[] = { { .name = "wm8350-regulator", .id = WM8350_LDO_2, .dev = { .platform_data = &ldo2_data, }, }, }; Changes in detail:- o Removed all const char* regulator config functions in machine API. o Created new struct regulator_init_data to contain regulator machine configuration constraints and consmuers. o Changed set_supply(), set_machine_constraints(), set_consumer_device_supply() to remove their string identifier parameters. Also made them static and moved functions nearer top of core.c. o Removed no longer used inline func to_rdev() o Added regulator_get_init_drvdata() to retrieve init data. o Added struct device* as parameter to regulator_register(). o Changed my email address.

2008-10-13ata: Add documentation for hard disk shock protection interface (v3)Elias Oltmanns1-0/+149
Put some information (and pointers to more) into the kernel's doc tree, describing briefly the interface to the kernel's disk head unloading facility. Information about how to set up a complete shock protection system under GNU/Linux can be found on the web and is referenced accordingly. v3: Here is some final polish including various spelling corrections pointed out by Grant Grundler and Peter Moulder. Also, I have added some information about the timing constraints related to disk head parking. The patch looks more impressive than it really is and I think it would be alright just to incorporate it into the original patch so as not to clutter up the git log.

2008-10-13powerpc: document the "fsl,ssi-dma-channel" compatible propertyTimur Tabi2-8/+25
The "fsl,ssi-dma-channel" compatible property is used to specify a DMA channel on the Freescale Elo DMA controller that should be used exclusively by the Freescale SSI audio controller. When a property is marked as such, the Elo DMA driver will ignore it, and so it will be available for the sound drivers.

2008-10-13powerpc: 83xx: pci: Remove need for get_immrbase from mpc83xx_add_bridge.John Rigby1-0/+40
Modify mpc83xx_add_bridge to get config space register base address from the device tree instead of immr + hardcoded offset. 83xx pci nodes have this change: register properties now contain two address length tuples: First is the pci bridge register base, this has always been there. Second is the config base, this is new. This is documented in dts-bindings/fsl/83xx-512x-pci.txt The changes accomplish these things: mpc83xx_add_bridge no longer needs to call get_immrbase it uses hard coded addresses if the second register value is missing Signed-off-by: John Rigby <jrigby@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>

In opposite to the P7131 Dual this early OEM card has a male radio antenna connector and also no remote. We currently switch the DVB-T RF feed to the radio input, like on the P7131 with female radio connector used also for DVB-T and should improve this.
