  • Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
    updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
    Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
    the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
    Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
    on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
    to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

  • These are the ioctls for the special-purpose misc device /dev/nosy, the
    interface to the IEEE 1394 packet sniffer/ protocol analyzer driver.
    Currently only the numbers 00...02 are in use; let's block a few more
    for unforeseen use cases.

  • 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.

  • 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!
