168ffc4446 USB: ati_remote.c: autorepeat fix
When HZ is set to 250 (new default) or 100, the time span during which
repeated events from the device are ignored could be too small due to
ms->jiffies rounding.  This causes the auto repeat to kick in early making
it impossible for the user to generate individual press/release events. 
Increate the timeout to compensate.

23219c1348 USB: Patch for rtl8150 to fix unplug problems
The RTL8150 driver currently crashes the kernel if the USB lead is unplugged
while the device is active.  The attached patch adds error handling to
tell the network layer that the device has gone away when the device is
unplugged.  With this patch, the device can be plugged and unplugged
to one's hearts' content, without crashing anything.

Oh, I've also added rudimentary suspend and resume methods.

This entry has been a mystery for some time. I had sent this patch as an

3c332422f7 usb-storage: Add US_FL_IGNORE_DEVICE flag; ignore ZyXEL G220F
This patch adds a new unusual_devs flag for when usb-storage needs to ignore
a device that it would otherwise claim.

We need to ignore the ZyXEL G220F as it is a virtual CDROM drive which
includes the windows driver for this USB-WLAN adapter. After the windows
driver is installed on a windows system, it converts it into a WLAN adapter
(by ejecting the virtual disc).

The virtual CDROM is of no interest to Linux users. The zd1211rw driver will
automatically perform the eject operation, we just need to ensure that
usb-storage does not claim the device.

b7aa94b682 USB: New USB ID for Belkin Serial Adapter
Can you add the USB IDs for the Belkin USB Serial adapter (P/N F5U257)
to the pl2303 driver in the Linux Kernel? Are you the appropriate person
to approach for this?

I recently purchased a Belkin USB Serial adapter (P/N F5U257) and found
that it didn't work. After a bit of experimentation I found that it
works with the pl2303 driver once the ID has been added. See attached
patch to fix this. Also attached is the output from lsusb -v just in
case you require any information from there.

aec0d50b8a USB: adding support for SHARP WS003SH to ipaq.c
This small patch enables a support of "SHARP WS003SH".
"SHARP WS003SH" (usullary called "W-ZERO3") is most polular All-in-one handheld
CellPhone-plus-WindowsMobile5.0 in Japan.

"SHARP WS003SH" has two modes, "Modem" and "ActiveSync".
But, "ActiveSync" mode uses NDIS connection.
Therefore, ipaq.c can only support "Modem" mode.

ce38cac482 [PATCH] rivafb/nvidiafb: race between register_framebuffer and *_bl_init
Since we now use the generic backlight infrastructure, I think we need to
call rivafb_bl_init before calling register_framebuffer since otherwise
rivafb_bl_init might race with the framebuffer layer already opening the
device and setting up the video mode.  In this case we might end up with a
not yet fully intialized backlight (info->bl_dev still NULL) when calling
riva_bl_set_power via rivafb_set_par/rivafb_load_video_mode and the kernel
dies without any further notice during boot.

This fixes booting current git on a PB 6,1.  In this case radeonfb/atyfb
would be affected too - I can fix that too but don't have any hardware to
test this on.

4b755999d6 [PATCH] powermac: More powermac backlight fixes
This patch fixes several problems:
- The legacy backlight value might be set at interrupt time. Introduced
  a worker to prevent it from directly calling the backlight code.
- via-pmu allows the backlight to be grabbed, in which case we need to
  prevent other kernel code from changing the brightness.
- Don't send PMU requests in via-pmu-backlight when the machine is about
  to sleep or waking up.
- More Kconfig fixes.

994aad251a [PATCH] radeonfb sleep fixes
Many IBM Thinkpad T4* models and some R* and X* with radeon video cards draw
too much power when suspended to RAM, reducing drastically the battery
lifetime.  The solution is to enable suspend-to-D2 on these machines.  They
are whitelisted through their subsystem vendor/device ID.  This fixes
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3022

The patch introduces a framework to alter the pm_mode and reinit_func fields
of the radeonfb_info structure based on a whitelist.  This should facilitate
future hardware-dependent workarounds.  The workaround for the Samsung P35
that is already in the radeonfb code has been rewritten using this framework.

The behavior can be overridden with module options:

i)  video=radeonfb:force_sleep=1
    enable suspend-to-D2 also on non-whitelisted machines (useful for
    testing new notebook models),

ii) video=radeonfb:ignore_devlist=1
    Disable checking the whitelist and do not apply any workarounds.

256154fbc3 [PATCH] fbdev: statically link the framebuffer notification functions
The backlight and lcd subsystems can be notified by the framebuffer layer
of blanking events.  However, these subsystems, as a whole, can function
independently from the framebuffer layer.  But in order to enable to the
lcd and backlight subsystems, the framebuffer has to be compiled also,
effectively sucking in a huge amount of unneeded code.

To prevent dependency problems, separate out the framebuffer notification
mechanism from the framebuffer layer and permanently link it to the kernel.

0a0898cf41 [PATCH] fuse: use jiffies_64
It is entirely possible (though rare) that jiffies half-wraps around, while a
dentry/inode remains in the cache.  This could mean that the dentry/inode is
not invalidated for another half wraparound-time.

To get around this problem, use 64-bit jiffies.  The only problem with this is
that dentry->d_time is 32 bits on 32-bit archs.  So use d_fsdata as the high
32 bits.  This is an ugly hack, but far simpler, than having to allocate
private data just for this purpose.

Since 64-bit jiffies can be assumed never to wrap around, simple comparison
can be used, and a zero time value can represent "invalid".

0b0bf7a3cc [PATCH] vDSO hash-style fix
The latest toolchains can produce a new ELF section in DSOs and
dynamically-linked executables.  The new section ".gnu.hash" replaces
".hash", and allows for more efficient runtime symbol lookups by the
dynamic linker.  The new ld option --hash-style={sysv|gnu|both} controls
whether to produce the old ".hash", the new ".gnu.hash", or both.  In some
new systems such as Fedora Core 6, gcc by default passes --hash-style=gnu
to the linker, so that a standard invocation of "gcc -shared" results in
producing a DSO with only ".gnu.hash".  The new ".gnu.hash" sections need
to be dealt with the same way as ".hash" sections in all respects; only the
dynamic linker cares about their contents.  To work with older dynamic
linkers (i.e.  preexisting releases of glibc), a binary must have the old
".hash" section.  The --hash-style=both option produces binaries that a new
dynamic linker can use more efficiently, but an old dynamic linker can
still handle.

The new section runs afoul of the custom linker scripts used to build vDSO
images for the kernel.  On ia64, the failure mode for this is a boot-time
panic because the vDSO's PT_IA_64_UNWIND segment winds up ill-formed.

This patch addresses the problem in two ways.

First, it mentions ".gnu.hash" in all the linker scripts alongside ".hash".
 This produces correct vDSO images with --hash-style=sysv (or old tools),
with --hash-style=gnu, or with --hash-style=both.

Second, it passes the --hash-style=sysv option when building the vDSO
images, so that ".gnu.hash" is not actually produced.  This is the most
conservative choice for compatibility with any old userland.  There is some
concern that some ancient glibc builds (though not any known old production
system) might choke on --hash-style=both binaries.  The optimizations
provided by the new style of hash section do not really matter for a DSO
with a tiny number of symbols, as the vDSO has.  If someone wants to use
=gnu or =both for their vDSO builds and worry less about that
compatibility, just change the option and the linker script changes will
make any choice work fine.

d07fe82c24 [PATCH] reference rt-mutex-design in rtmutex.c
In order to prevent Doc Rot, this patch adds a reference to the design
document for rtmutex.c in rtmutex.c.  So when someone needs to update or
change the design of that file they will know that a document actually
exists that explains the design (helping them change it), and hopefully
that they will update the document if they too change the design.

3c829c367a [PATCH] Reducing local_bh_enable/disable overhead in irqtrace
The recent changes from irqtrace feature has added overheads to
local_bh_disable and local_bh_enable that reduces UDP performance across
x86_64 and IA64, even though IA64 does not support the irqtrace feature.
Patch in question is

[PATCH]lockdep: irqtrace subsystem, core
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=c
ommit;h=de30a2b355ea85350ca2f58f3b9bf4e5bc007986

Prior to this patch, local_bh_disable was a short macro.  Now it is a
function which calls __local_bh_disable with added irq flags save and
restore.  The irq flags save and restore were also added to
local_bh_enable, probably for injecting the trace irqs code.

This overhead is on the generic code path across all architectures.  On a
IA_64 test machine (Itanium-2 1.6 GHz) running a benchmark like netperf's
UDP streaming test, the added overhead results in a drop of 3% in
throughput, as udp_sendmsg calls the local_bh_enable/disable several times.

Other workloads that have heavy usages of local_bh_enable/disable could
also be affected.  The patch ideally should not have affected IA-64
performance as it does not have IRQ tracing support.  A significant portion
of the overhead is in the added irq flags save and restore, which I think
is not needed if IRQ tracing is unused.  A suggested patch is attached
below that recovers the lost performance.  However, the "ifdef"s in the
patch are a bit ugly.
