  • Emil Medve points out that this documentation file uses CRLF line
    endings, which means that if you use

    [core]
    autocrlf=input

    (which makes sense if you ever develop under Windows, for example, or if
    you use other broken tools) in your git config, git will always complain
    about the file being dirty.

    This removes the bogus DOS line endings, and removes whitespace at the
    end of line.

  • Name it thinkpad-acpi version 0.16 to avoid any confusion with some 0.15
    thinkpad-acpi development snapshots and backports that had input layer
    support, but no hotkey_report_mode support.

  • Revert new 2.6.23 CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED Kconfig option because
    it would create a legacy we don't want to support.

    CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED was added to try to fix an issue that is
    now moot with the addition of the netlink ACPI event report interface to
    the ACPI core.

    Now that ACPI core can send events over netlink, we can use a different
    strategy to keep backwards compatibility with older userspace, without the
    need for the CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED games. And it arrived
    before CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED made it to a stable mainline
    kernel, even, which is Good.

    This patch is in sync with some changes to thinkpad-acpi backports, that
    will keep things sane for userspace across different combinations of kernel
    versions, thinkpad-acpi backports (or the lack thereof), and userspace
    capabilities:

    Unless a module parameter is used, thinkpad-acpi will now behave in such a
    way that it will work well (by default) with userspace that still uses only
    the old ACPI procfs event interface and doesn't care for thinkpad-acpi
    input devices.

    It will also always work well with userspace that has been updated to use
    both the thinkpad-acpi input devices, and ACPI core netlink event
    interface, regardless of any module parameter.

    The module parameter was added to allow thinkpad-acpi to work with
    userspace that has been partially updated to use thinkpad-acpi input
    devices, but not the new ACPI core netlink event interface. To use this
    mode of hot key reporting, one has to specify the hotkey_report_mode=2
    module parameter.

    The thinkpad-acpi driver exports the value of hotkey_report_mode through
    sysfs, as well. thinkpad-acpi backports to older kernels, that do not
    support the new ACPI core netlink interface, have code to allow userspace
    to switch hotkey_report_mode at runtime through sysfs. This capability
    will not be provided in mainline thinkpad-acpi as it is not needed there.

  • We find that SB700 and SB800 use the same SMBus device ID as SB600, which is
    0x4385, instead of the already submitted 0x4395.

    Besides removing the wrong SB700 device ID, add SB800 support to kernel, by
    renaming the PCI_DEVICE_ID_ATI_IXP600_SMBUS into
    PCI_DEVICE_ID_ATI_SBX00_SMBUS.

  • Updates to the MAINTAINERS file and documentation for 9p to point to the
    swik wiki versus the outdated sf.net page. Also updated some email addresses
    and added pointers to papers which better describe the implementation and
    application of the Linux 9p client.

  • I couldn't find any memory policy documentation in the Documentation
    directory, so here is my attempt to document it.

    There's lots more that could be written about the internal design--including
    data structures, functions, etc. However, if you agree that this is better
    that the nothing that exists now, perhaps it could be merged. This will
    provide a baseline for updates to document the many policy patches that are
    currently being worked.

  • In MPS mode, "nosmp" and "maxcpus=0" boot a UP kernel with IOAPIC disabled.
    However, in ACPI mode, these parameters didn't completely disable
    the IO APIC initialization code and boot failed.

    init/main.c:
    Disable the IO_APIC if "nosmp" or "maxcpus=0"
    undefine disable_ioapic_setup() when it doesn't apply.

    i386:
    delete ioapic_setup(), it was a duplicate of parse_noapic()
    delete undefinition of disable_ioapic_setup()

    x86_64:
    rename disable_ioapic_setup() to parse_noapic() to match i386
    define disable_ioapic_setup() in header to match i386

  • Some hardware will malfunction at a temperature below
    the BIOS provided critical shutdown threshold.

    This hook allows moving the critical trip points down
    to a temperature which provokes a graceful shutdown
    before the hardware malfunction.

    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8884

    WARNING: A trip-point override will not get noticed
    until the system delivers a temperature change event,
    or unless thermal zone polling is enabled.
    eg. "thermal.tzp=10"
