acpi_early_init() was changed to over-write the cmdline param, making it really inconvenient to set debug flags at boot-time. Also, This sets the default level to "info", which is what all the ACPI drivers use. So to enable messages from drivers, you only have to supply the "layer" (a.k.a. "component"). For non-"info" ACPI core and ACPI interpreter messages, you have to supply both level and layer masks, as before. Signed-off-by:

Some desktops seems to have no HP/mic jack detection on the front panel, which results in the silent output in the recent driver, because the driver mutes the output (to save power) when no plug is detected. This patch adds a new model that disables the jack-detection. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes a comment and clarifies the documentation about the endianness of descriptors. The current policy is that descriptors will be little-endian at the API even on big-endian systems; however the /proc/bus/usb API predates this policy and presents descriptors with some multibyte fields byte-swapped.

It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created, named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration points: max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a 256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000. That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be enough too. This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already listed, so that should be ok. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: use get_current_user()] Signed-off-by:

This adds a driver to the accelerometer sensor found in several HP laptops (under the commercial names of "HP Mobile Data Protection System 3D" and "HP 3D driveguard"). It tries to have more or less the same interfaces as the hdaps and other accelerometer drivers: in sysfs and as a joystick. This driver was first written by Yan Burman. Eric Piel has updated it and slimed it up (including the removal of an interface to access to the free-fall feature of the sensor because it is not reliable enough for now). Pavel Machek removed few more features and switched locking from semaphore to mutex. Several people have contributed to the database of the axes.

With this change, control file 'freezer.state' doesn't exist in root cgroup, making root cgroup unfreezable. I think it's reasonable to disallow freeze tasks in the root cgroup. And then we can avoid fork overhead when freezer subsystem is compiled but not used. Also make writing invalid value to freezer.state returns EINVAL rather than EIO. This is more consistent with other cgroup subsystem. Signed-off-by:

Having them all in one file was a frequent source of merge conflicts. However, in the next merge, 49997d75, there was another conflict. Some of the bindings removed from booting-without-of.txt were mistakenly added back in and the copies in dts-bindings were kept as well.

If an ACPI graphics device supports backlight brightness functions (cmp. with latest ACPI spec Appendix B), let the ACPI video driver control backlight and switch backlight control off in vendor specific ACPI drivers (asus_acpi, thinkpad_acpi, eeepc, fujitsu_laptop, msi_laptop, sony_laptop, acer-wmi). Currently it is possible to load above drivers and let both poke on the brightness HW registers, the video and vendor specific ACPI drivers -> bad. This patch provides the basic support to check for BIOS capabilities before driver loading time. Driver specific modifications are in separate follow up patches.

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). Signed-off-by:
