This patch introduces the new format 'ecryptfs' that allows to store an authentication token structure inside the encrypted key payload containing a randomly generated symmetric key, as the same for the format 'default'. More details about the usage of encrypted keys with the eCryptfs filesystem can be found in the file 'Documentation/keys-ecryptfs.txt'.

Designed around an ARM cortex A9 core, high-speed memory bus, advanced 3D accelerator and full-HD multi-format video decoder, SiRFprimaII is able to meet the needs of complicated applications for modern multifunction devices that require heavy concurrent applications and fluid user experience. Integrated with GPS baseband, analog and PMU, this new platform is designed to provide a cost effective solution for Automotive and Consumer markets. This patch adds the basic support for this SoC and EVB board based on device tree. It is following the ZYNQ of Xilinx in some degree.

But the longer we delay, the more likely the user is to poweroff and lose the info. panic_timeout (seconds before rebooting) is set by panic= boot option or sysctl or /proc/sys/kernel/panic; but 0 means wait forever, so at present we have to delay at least 1 second. Let a negative number mean reboot immediately (with the small cosmetic benefit of suppressing that newline-less "Rebooting in %d seconds.." message).

If set to 1, all shared memory objects in current ipc namespace will be automatically forced to use IPC_RMID. The POSIX way of handling shmem allows one to create shm objects and call shmdt(), leaving shm object associated with no process, thus consuming memory not counted via rlimits. With shm_rmid_forced=1 the shared memory object is counted at least for one process, so OOM killer may effectively kill the fat process holding the shared memory. It obviously breaks POSIX - some programs relying on the feature would stop working. So set shm_rmid_forced=1 only if you're sure nobody uses "orphaned" memory. Use shm_rmid_forced=0 by default for compatability reasons. The feature was previously impemented in -ow as a configure option.

But it doesn't because we considered we needed to make a concensus for such new APIs. This patch is a trial to add memory.scan_stat. This shows - the number of scanned pages(total, anon, file) - the number of rotated pages(total, anon, file) - the number of freed pages(total, anon, file) - the number of elaplsed time (including sleep/pause time) for both of direct/soft reclaim. The biggest difference with oringinal Ying's one is that this file can be reset by some write, as # echo 0 ...../memory.scan_stat Example of output is here. This is a result after make -j 6 kernel under 300M limit.

This will be useful for further memcg developments and need to be developped before we do some complicated rework on LRU/softlimit management. This patch adds a new struct memcg_scanrecord into scan_control struct. sc->nr_scanned at el is not designed for exporting information. For example, nr_scanned is reset frequentrly and incremented +2 at scanning mapped pages. To avoid complexity, I added a new param in scan_control which is for exporting scanning score.

They also allow to limit these flags to specific outputs. Both things were previously undocumented. Also the parsing of the line had some oddities: -A lot of misplaced options were silently ignored or partly rejected instead of stopping the parsing immediately -The 'R' option is documented to follow the 'M' option if specified. It is not documented that 'M' is needed to specify 'R' (also this is the case for normal fb drivers). In fact the code is correct for normal fb drivers but wrong for DRM ones. The old code allowed 'R' only _before_ 'M' (since it parses backwards) and only if 'M' is given at all which is not needed for the DRM drivers. -the margins option ('m') was parsed but later ignored even if the later functions support it. -specifying multiple enable options at the same time did not lead to an error. -specifying something bogus for horizontal resolution (i.e. other things as digits) did not lead to an error but an invalid resolution was used. If any errors are encountered the position of the faulting string is now printed to the user and the complete mode is ignored. This gives much more consistent error behaviour. I also removed some useless assignments and changed the local flag variables to be bool. Signed-off-by: Rolf Eike Beer <eike-kernel@sf-tec.de> Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>

For example I have two USB video capture cards which stream uncompressed video, and to stream full NTSC + PAL videos we'd need NTSC 640x480 YUV422 @30fps ~17.6 MB/s PAL 720x576 YUV422 @25fps ~19.7 MB/s isoc bandwidth. Now, due to limited alt settings in capture devices NTSC one ends up streaming with max_pkt_size=2688 and PAL with max_pkt_size=2892, both with interval=1. In terms of microframe time allocation this gives NTSC ~53us PAL ~57us and together ~110us > 100us == 80% of 125us uframe time. So those two devices can't work together simultaneously because the'd over allocate isochronous bandwidth. 80% seemed a bit arbitrary to me, and I've tried to raise it to 90% and both devices started to work together, so I though sometimes it would be a good idea for users to override hardcoded default of max 80% isoc bandwidth. After all, isn't it a user who should decide how to load the bus? If I can live with 10% or even 5% bulk bandwidth that should be ok. I'm a USB newcomer, but that 80% set in stone by USB 2.0 specification seems to be chosen pretty arbitrary to me, just to serve as a reasonable default. NOTE 1 ~~~~~~ for two streams with max_pkt_size=3072 (worst case) both time allocation would be 60us+60us=120us which is 96% periodic bandwidth leaving 4% for bulk and control. Alan Stern suggested that bulk then would be problematic (less than 300*8 bittimes left per microframe), but I think that is still enough for control traffic. NOTE 2 ~~~~~~ Sarah Sharp expressed concern that maxing out periodic bandwidth could lead to vendor-specific hardware bugs on host controllers, because > It's entirely possible that you'll run into > vendor-specific bugs if you try to pack the schedule with isochronous > transfers. I don't think any hardware designer would seriously test or > validate their hardware with a schedule that is basically a violation of > the USB bus spec (more than 80% for periodic transfers). So far I've only tested this patch on my HP Mini 5103 with N10 chipset kirr@mini:~$ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation N10 Family DMI Bridge 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family PCI Express Port 1 (rev 02) 00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family PCI Express Port 4 (rev 02) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 02) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 02) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 02) 00:1d.3 USB Controller: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 02) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 02) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev e2) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation NM10 Family LPC Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation N10/ICH7 Family SATA AHCI Controller (rev 02) 01:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8059 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 11) and the system works stable with 110us/uframe (~88%) isoc bandwith allocated for above-mentioned isochronous transfers. NOTE 3 ~~~~~~ This feature is off by default. I mean max periodic bandwidth is set to 100us/uframe by default exactly as it was before the patch. So only those of us who need the extreme settings are taking the risk - normal users who do not alter uframe_periodic_max sysfs attribute should not see any change at all. NOTE 4 ~~~~~~ I've tried to update documentation in Documentation/ABI/ thoroughly, but only "TBD" was put into Documentation/usb/ehci.txt -- the text there seems to be outdated and much needing refreshing, before it could be amended.
