This patch set adds the PPS support into Linux. PPS means "pulse per second" and its API is specified by RFC 2783 (Pulse-Per-Second API for UNIX-like Operating Systems, Version 1.0). The code has been tested with the NTPD program (http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/index.html) and several GPS antennae. Changelog RESUBMIT 6 -> 7: * A new line discipline has been added in order to leave untouched the serial ports code (as suggested by Alan). * n_tty.c exports only GPL symbols...

This patch adds into the PPS's documentation directory a possible implementation of the PPS API (RFC 2783) by using the LinuxPPS's char devices. This file is not just an example but it can be used into real systems. :) Signed-off-by: Rodolfo Giometti <giometti@linux.it> --- Documentation/pps/timepps.h | 195 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 files changed, 195 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/pps/timepps.h diff --git a/Documentation/pps/time...

Each PPS source can be registered/deregistered into the system by using special modules called "clients". They simply define the PPS sources' attributes and implement the time signal registartion mechanism. This patch adds a special directory for such clients and adds a dummy client that can be useful to test system integrity on real systems.

From: Miloslav Trmac <mitr@redhat.com> Data read from a TTY can contain an embedded NUL byte (e.g. after pressing Ctrl-2, or sent to a PTY). After the previous patch, the data would be logged only up to the first NUL. This patch modifies the AUDIT_TTY record to always use the hexadecimal format, which does not terminate at the first NUL byte. The vast majority of recorded TTY input data will contain either ' ' or '\n', so the hexadecimal format would have been used anyway. Signed-off-b...

From: Miloslav Trmac <mitr@redhat.com> audit_string_contains_control() stops checking at the first NUL byte. If audit_string_contains_control() returns FALSE, audit_log_n_untrustedstring() submits the complete string - including the NUL byte and all following bytes, up to the specified maximum length - to audit_log_n_string(), which copies the data unchanged into the audit record. The audit record can thus contain a NUL byte (and some unchecked data after that). Because the user-space aud...

From: Alain Knaff <alain@knaff.lu> This is an updated version of my bzip2/lzma patch It is based on an idea by Christian Ludwig, includes support for compressing the kernel with bzip2 or lzma rather than gzip. Both compressors give smaller sizes than gzip. Lzma's decompresses faster than bzip2. It also supports ramdisks and initramfs' compressed using these two compressors. The functionality has been successfully used for a couple of years by the udpcast project This version appli...

Hi, Hopefully the last pull request before 2.6.27-final: * Fixes hpt366 crash with HPT374 controllers (Masoud Sharbiani and Sergei Shtylyov). * Adds ide-scsi to feature-removal-schedule.txt, which I forgot to do while deprecating the driver (FUJITA Tomonori). BTW I'll be leaving for KS+LPC on Saturday's morning so I may be a bit unresponsive for a while (preparations, travelling and a "time zone change syndrome").

With SWIOTLB being enabled and straight-forward page allocation failure [1], the swiotlb_alloc_coherent fall-back path hits an issue [2], resulting in my webcam failing to work. At the time of oops, RDI is clearly a pointer to a structure which has arrived as NULL, leading to the typo in swiotlb_map_single's callsite arguments. Correctly passing the device structure [3] addresses the issue and gets my webcam working again (the allocation failure still occuring). Please apply, Daniel --- ...

Fix type errors introduced by commits 9bf8a1a79d549a0cf3b26c88d1ac8cdf07deafee and 76fbc263ff7e42ce8b21b8aee176e3c74b45f81a, "pci: debug extra pci resources range" and "pci: debug extra pci bus resources". These commits added printks of resource_size_t values using "%llx" formats. This is wrong for two reasons: - resource_size_t may be u32 or u64, depending on arch and config options, but "%llx" only works with 64-bit integers; if there is a size mismatch, printk's argument pointer will move pa...

We need to convert the error pointer from class_create(), else we'll return the successful return code from register_chrdev() on failure.

These patches against the regulator development tree add basic support for the WM8400, an audio CODEC and PMU targeted at multimedia systems, covering basic PMIC functionality only. Since the functionality of the device covers multiple subsystems with arbitration required a core driver is provided in drivers/mfd. Samuel, I guess it makes sense to merge this via the regulator tree? --

I would probably rename this since it's really resetting the codec cache > +#define WM8400_MIC1SHRT_IRQ_ENA

Wouldn't splitting out audio from power at least half the size of the header. Imho probably making it easier to track down definitions per function. Liam --

This should return NORMAL by default. Probably best to add a lookup table for IDLE & STANDBY if supported. Cheers Liam --

OK by me. Thanks Liam --

Setting it back to use two routines if fine by me too. What is better? Can we just get this merged and then we can flip...
