* | fat: Fix ATTR_RO for directoryOGAWA Hirofumi2008-11-071-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | FAT has the ATTR_RO (read-only) attribute. But on Windows, the ATTR_RO of the directory will be just ignored actually, and is used by only applications as flag. E.g. it's setted for the customized folder by Explorer. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa969337.aspx This adds "rodir" option. If user specified it, ATTR_RO is used as read-only flag even if it's the directory. Otherwise, inode->i_mode is not used to hold ATTR_RO (i.e. fat_mode_can_save_ro() returns 0).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: add new generic io_map_*() APIs Graphics devices have large PCI apertures which would consume a significant fraction of a 32-bit address space if mapped during driver initialization. Using ioremap at runtime is impractical as it is too slow. This new set of interfaces uses atomic mappings on 32-bit processors and a large static mapping on 64-bit processors to provide reasonable 32-bit performance and optimal 64-bit performance. The current implementation sits atop the io_map_atomic fixmap-based mechanism for 32-bit processors.

Ftrace uses this information to display to the user if the trace occurred with interrupts enabled or disabled. Besides the fact that those archs that do not support this will fail to compile, unless they fix it, we do not want to have the trace simply say interrupts were not disabled or they were enabled, without knowing the real answer. This patch adds a 'X' in the output to let the user know that the architecture they are running on does not support a way for the tracer to determine if interrupts were enabled or disabled. It also lets those same archs compile with tracing enabled. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the core function pnp_dbg() and a new config option to enable it. The PNP core debugging messages can be enabled at boot-time with the "pnp.debug" kernel parameter.

For it is EC firmware that decides when the EC sends Linux temperature change events, and the EC may or may not decide to send Linux these events anywhere in the neighborhood of the fake override trip points. Beware. note also that thermal.nocrt is already available to disable crtical trip point actios, and thermal.crt=-1 is already available to disabled critical trip points entirely.

| | * | | | ACPI: Add "acpi.power_nocheck=1" to disable power state check in power ↵Zhao Yakui2008-10-221-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | transition Maybe the incorrect power state is returned on the bogus bios, which is different with the real power state. For example: the bios returns D0 state and the real power state is D3. OS expects to set the device to D0 state. In such case if OS uses the power state returned by the BIOS and checks the device power state very strictly in power transition, the device can't be transited to the correct power state. So the boot option of "acpi.power_nocheck=1" is added to avoid checking the device power in the course of device power transition. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8049 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11000 Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Li Shaohua <shaohua.li@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
