Prevents that a radio tuner is initialized with a tv frequency or vice versa. - When switching to radio mode initialize the tuner with the last used radio frequency (this was already done for the TV mode). As a result of these changes the tuner module now remembers the last set radio and TV frequencies, which is what you would expect to happen. - Move out of range frequencies to the closest valid frequency as per v4l2 API spec. - Fix incorrect initial radio frequency (multiplier is 16000, not 16) - Add boundary check for out of range frequencies. - Use new flag to check if the order of the CB and freq. depends on the last set frequency. That is needed for some tuners or you can get static as a result. The flag is added for those tuners where I know that the datasheet indicates that this is necessary. - For this new check use the last set div value, not the last frequency as radio frequencies are always much higher due to the 16000 multiplier.

| 9ab34fe | Ingo Molnar | 14 January 2006, 21:21:29 UTC | [PATCH] enable unit-at-a-time optimisations for gcc4 Allow gcc4 compilers to optimize unit-at-a-time. This flag enables gcc to "see" the entire C file before making optimisation decisions such as inline, which results in gcc making better decisions. One of the immediate effects of this is that static functions that are used only once now get inlined. gcc 3.4 has this flag as well, however gcc 3.x have a problem with inlining and stacks and as a result, enabling this flag there would cause excessive and unacceptable stack use. This problem is fixed in the gcc 4.x series. The x86-64 architecture already enables this feature so it's well tested already.

This first patch changes __always_inline to be a forced inline instead of the "regular" inline it was on everything except alpha. This forced inline matches the intention of the define better as a matter of documentation. There is no change in behavior by this patch, since "inline" currently is mapped to a forced inline anyway.

| a80da73 | David Vrabel | 14 January 2006, 21:21:23 UTC | [PATCH] gx1fb: (try to) play nicer with various BIOSes Seems that the CS5530A chip used in Geode GX1 systems has some crazy feature that causes SMI traps when accessing the PCI configuration space of the video device. Various GX1 BIOSes seem to use this 'feature' to hide the real BARs of the device. This patch disables these traps (in an early PCI fixup) so that Linux sees the real, physical BARs and not the virtual ones provided by the BIOS. This should allow the GX1 framebuffer driver to work on more systems that have different BIOSes as the driver no longer guesses at what the virtual BARs mean. I'm not entirely sure it the correct solution as I can neither test regular VGA console nor the X's 'cyrix' video driver so there might be some breakage there -- probably best to get some more testers before applying it.

| 4836f57 | Christian Trefzer | 14 January 2006, 21:21:21 UTC | [PATCH] neofb: take existing display configuration as default On a Dell Latitude CPi-A I noticed a strangeness wrt. the handling of an external monitor by the neomagic framebuffer driver, namely when the laptop is docked in a C/Dock II with the lid shut. A cold boot would result in the BIOS configuring the video chip to use the "external monitor only" mode, yet neofb would default to "internal LCD only". An attempt for a quick fix by using the Fn-F8 keystroke to toggle the display combination modes resulted in a reproductible hard lock, powering down being the only solution. The attached patch makes neofb probe the register for the current display mode, using that value as a default if nothing was specified as kernel/module parameter.

| 2c56084 | Abhay Salunke | 14 January 2006, 21:21:14 UTC | [PATCH] dell_rbu: fix Bug 5854 This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5854 Root cause: The dell_rbu driver creates entries in /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/ by calling request_firmware_nowait (without hotplug ) this function inturn starts a kernel thread which creates the entries in /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading , data and the thread waits on the user action to return control back to the callback fucntion of dell_rbu. The thread calls wait_on_completion which puts it in a D state until the user action happens. If there is no user action happening the load average goes up as the thread D state is taken in to account. Also after downloading the BIOS image the enrties go away momentarily but they are recreated from the callback function in dell_rbu. This causes the thread to get recreated causing the load average to permenently stay around 1. Fix: The dell_rbu also creates the entry /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/image_type at driver load time. The image type by default is mono if required the user can echo packet to image_type to make the BIOS update mechanism using packets. Also by echoing init in to image_type the /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu entries can be created. The driver code was changed to not create /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu entries during load time, and also to not create the above entries from the callback function. The entries are only created by echoing init to /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/image_type The user now needs to create the entries to download the image monolithic or packet. This fixes the issue since the kernel thread only is created when ever the user is ready to download the BIOS image; this minimizes the life span of the kernel thread and the load average goes back to normal.

One must not sleep while holding a spinlock. The fix seems easy enough - move the cpuset semaphore region outside the tasklist_lock region. This required a few lines of mechanism to implement. The oom code where the locking needs to be changed does not have access to the cpuset locks, which are internal to kernel/cpuset.c only. So I provided a couple more cpuset interface routines, available to the rest of the kernel, which simple take and drop the lock needed here (cpusets callback_sem).

| 7339ff8 | Robin Holt | 14 January 2006, 21:20:48 UTC | [PATCH] Add tmpfs options for memory placement policies Anything that writes into a tmpfs filesystem is liable to disproportionately decrease the available memory on a particular node. Since there's no telling what sort of application (e.g. dd/cp/cat) might be dropping large files there, this lets the admin choose the appropriate default behavior for their site's situation. Introduce a tmpfs mount option which allows specifying a memory policy and a second option to specify the nodelist for that policy. With the default policy, tmpfs will behave as it does today. This patch adds support for preferred, bind, and interleave policies. The default policy will cause pages to be added to tmpfs files on the node which is doing the writing. Some jobs expect a single process to create and manage the tmpfs files. This results in a node which has a significantly reduced number of free pages. With this patch, the administrator can specify the policy and nodes for that policy where they would prefer allocations. This patch was originally written by Brent Casavant and Hugh Dickins. I added support for the bind and preferred policies and the mpol_nodelist mount option.

The migration code currently depends on swap. This patch provides a set of inline fallback functions so that the kernel properly compiles. However, calls to migration functions will fail.

| eed6565 | Calin A. Culianu | 14 January 2006, 21:20:46 UTC | [PATCH] Watchdog: Winsystems EPX-C3 SBC This is a 2.6 patch that adds support for the watchdog timer built into the EPX-C3 single board computer manufactured by Winsystems, Inc. Driver details: This is for x86 only. This watchdog is pretty basic and simple. It is only configurable via jumpers on the SBC, and it only has either a 1.5s or 200s interval. The watchdog can either be auto-configured to start as soon as the machine powers up (bad idea for the 1.5s interval!) or it can be enabled and disabled by writing to io port 0x1ee. Petting the watchdog involves writing any value to io port 0x1ef. The only unfortunate thing about this watchdog (and it is not at all uncommmon in watchdogs that linux supports) is that it is not a PCI or ISA-PNP device and as such it isn't at all probeable. Either the watchdog exists as 2 bytes at 0x1ee, or it doesn't. Thus, using this driver on a machine that doesn't have that watchdog can potentially hang/crash the system, etc. So only use this driver if you in fact are on a Winsystems EPX-C3 SBC. Anyway this driver fits into the already-existing watchdog framework quite nicely and I already tested it on my EPX-C3 and it works like a charm. Signed-off-by: Calin A.
