2009-04-18docs, x86: add nox2apic back to kernel-parameters.txtWeidong Han1-0/+2
"nox2apic" was removed from kernel-parameters.txt by mistake, when entries were sorted in alpha order (commit 0cb55ad2). But this early parameter is still there, add it back to kernel-parameters.txt.

2009-04-18thinkpad-acpi: bump up version to 0.23Henrique de Moraes Holschuh1-2/+2
Plenty of high-profile changes, so it deserves a new version number. Features added since 0.22: * Restrict unsafe LEDs * New race-less brightness control strategy for IBM ThinkPads * Disclose TGID of driver access from userspace (debug) * Warn when deprecated functions are used Other changes: * Better debug messages in some subdrivers * Removed "hotkey disable" support, since it breaks the driver * Dropped "ibm-acpi" alias Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2009-04-16Driver Core: early platform driverMagnus Damm1-0/+59
V3 of the early platform driver implementation. Platform drivers are great for embedded platforms because we can separate driver configuration from the actual driver. So base addresses, interrupts and other configuration can be kept with the processor or board code, and the platform driver can be reused by many different platforms. For early devices we have nothing today. For instance, to configure early timers and early serial ports we cannot use platform devices. This because the setup order during boot. Timers are needed before the platform driver core code is available. The same goes for early printk support. Early in this case means before initcalls. These early drivers today have their configuration either hard coded or they receive it using some special configuration method. This is working quite well, but if we want to support both regular kernel modules and early devices then we need to have two ways of configuring the same driver. A single way would be better. The early platform driver patch is basically a set of functions that allow drivers to register themselves and architecture code to locate them and probe. Registration happens through early_param(). The time for the probe is decided by the architecture code. See Documentation/driver-model/platform.txt for more details.

Fix a zero address hole bug in the bonding arp_ip_target list that was causing the bond to ignore ARP replies (bugz 13006). Instead of just setting the array entry to zero, we now copy any additional entries down one slot, putting the zero entry at the end. With this change we can now have all the loops that walk the array stop when they hit a zero since there will be no addresses after it.

2009-04-07nilfs2: clean up sketch fileRyusuke Konishi1-2/+0
The sketch file is a file to mark checkpoints with user data. It was experimentally introduced in the original implementation, and now obsolete. The file was handled differently with regular files; the file size got truncated when a checkpoint was created. This stops the special treatment and will treat it as a regular file. Most users are not affected because mkfs.nilfs2 no longer makes this file.

2009-04-07kprobes: support per-kprobe disablingMasami Hiramatsu1-6/+28
Add disable_kprobe() and enable_kprobe() to disable/enable kprobes temporarily. disable_kprobe() asynchronously disables probe handlers of specified kprobe. So, after calling it, some handlers can be called at a while. enable_kprobe() enables specified kprobe. aggr_pre_handler and aggr_post_handler check disabled probes. On the other hand aggr_break_handler and aggr_fault_handler don't check it because these handlers will be called while executing pre or post handlers and usually those help error handling.
