The kernel-api docbook was much larger than any of the others, so processing it took longer and needed some docbook extras in some cases, so split it into kernel-api (infrastructure etc.) and device drivers/device subsystems. This allows these docbooks to be generated in parallel. (This reduced the docbook processing time on my 4-proc system with make -j4 from about 5min:16sec to about 2min:01sec.) The chapters that were moved from kernel-api to device-drivers are: Driver Basics Device drivers infrastructure Parallel Port Devices Message-based devices Sound Devices 16x50 UART Driver Frame Buffer Library Input Subsystem Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) I2C and SMBus Subsystem Signed-off-by:

I noticed the old commit 8f5aa26c ("cpusets: update_cpumask documentation fix") is not a complete fix, resulting in inconsistent paragraphs. This patch fixes it and does other fixes and updates: - s/migrate_all_tasks()/migrate_live_tasks()/ - describe more cpuset control files - s/cpumask_t/struct cpumask/ - document cpu hotplug and change of 'sched_relax_domain_level' may cause domain rebuild - document various ways to query and modify cpusets - the equivalent of "mount -t cpuset" is "mount -t cgroup -o cpuset,noprefix" Signed-off-by:

This adds freefall handling to hp_accel driver.

It should work; for now, it uses fixed 20seconds protection period. Signed-off-by:

Impact: prevents confusing the user when buffer size is inadequate The tracing framework offers a resizeable buffer, which mmiotrace uses to record events. If the buffer is full, the following events will be lost. Events should not be lost, so the documentation instructs the user to increase the buffer size. The buffer size is set via a debugfs file. Mmiotrace documentation was not updated the same time the debugfs file was changed. The old file was tracing/trace_entries and first contained the number of entries the buffer had space for, per cpu. Nowadays this file is replaced with the file tracing/buffer_size_kb, which tells the amount of memory reserved for the buffer, per cpu, in kilobytes. Previously, a flag had to be toggled via the debugfs file tracing/tracing_enabled when the buffer size was changed. This is no longer necessary. The mmiotrace documentation is updated to reflect the current state of the tracing framework. Signed-off-by:
