  • This patch adds the kernel side of the PPS support currently named
    "LinuxPPS".

    PPS means "pulse per second" and a PPS source is just a device which
    provides a high precision signal each second so that an application can
    use it to adjust system clock time.

    Common use is the combination of the NTPD as userland program with a GPS
    receiver as PPS source to obtain a wallclock-time with sub-millisecond
    synchronisation to UTC.

    To obtain this goal the userland programs shoud use the PPS API
    specification (RFC 2783 - Pulse-Per-Second API for UNIX-like Operating
    Systems, Version 1.0) which in part is implemented by this patch. It
    provides a set of chars devices, one per PPS source, which can be used to
    get the time signal. The RFC's functions can be implemented by accessing
    to these char devices.

  • Make sure that each error condition during the execution of an
    HDIO_DRIVE_RESET ioctl is actually reported to the calling process.
    Also, unify the exit path of reset_pollfunc() when returning ide_stopped
    since the need of ->port_ops->reset_poll() to be treated specially has
    vanished (way back, it seems).

  • Alter the entry for HDIO_DRIVE_RESET in Documentation/ioctl/hdio.txt to
    reflect a functional change in the driver. Besides, the entry has been
    inaccurate before.

  • This patch fixes typos in various Documentation txts. The patch addresses some
    +words starting with the letters 'U-Z'.

    Looks like I made it through the alphabet...just in time to start over again
    +too! Maybe I can fit more profound fixes into the next round...? Time will
    +tell. :)

  • Randy brought it to my attention that in proper english "can not" should always
    be written "cannot". I donot see any reason to argue, even if I mightnot
    understand why this rule exists. This patch fixes "can not" in several
    Documentation files as well as three Kconfigs.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
