2005-08-07[PATCH] x86_64: ignore machine checks from boot timeAndi Kleen
Don't log machine check events left over from boot. Too many BIOSes leave bogus events in there. This unfortunately also makes it impossible to log events that caused a reboot.

2005-08-04[PATCH] v4l: oopsfix for BTTV on badly behaved PCI chipsetsMauro Carvalho Chehab
no_overlay bttv parameter implemented to fix OOPS on some PCI chipsets (like some VIA) with these behaviors: 1) If pci_quicks does identify the chip as having troubles to handle PCI2PCI transfers, no_overlay defaults to 1. The user may force it to 0, to reenable (not recommended). 2) For newer chipsets not blacklisted, no_overlay=1 is provided as a workaround until PCI chipset included on /drivers/pci/quirks.c Thanks to Bodo Eggert <7eggert@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Michael Krufky <mkrufky@m1k.net> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@brturbo.com.br> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-08-01[PATCH] V4L: Miscellaneous fixesMauro Carvalho Chehab
- Fixed some bttv card numbers. - BTTV and SAA7134 version numbers incremented to reflect changes. - pci_dma_supported() is called after pci_set_dma_mask() which already did check that for us. This patch removes the unneeded call to pci_dma_supported() at bttv-driver.c - Ensure a sufficient I2C bus idle time between 2 messages for saa7134-i2c.c - It is important to write at first to MO_GP3_IO for cx88-tvaudio.c - Use try_to_freeze() instead of refrigerator at msp3400.c - Recognizing the MFPE05-2 Tuner at tveeprom.c - Add new parameter to help identify radio chipsets at tuner module: show_i2c=1 will show 16 reading bytes from detected tuners. - BTTV does generate some Unimplemented IOCTL log at tuner module: 0x40046d11(dir=1,tp=0x6d,nr=17,sz=4) means that it is sending MSP3400 calls to non-msp3400 tuners. Warning eliminated. VIDIOSAUDIO is also called, so debug messages updated. It is still requiring IOCTL implementation. - Added two more tuners. - Add support for the SVideo input on the GDI Black Gold.

2005-07-12[PATCH] inotifyRobert Love
inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly its inability to scale and its terrible user interface: * dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount. * dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of stat structures. * dnotify's interface to user-space is awful. Signals? inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change notification: * inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO. You get a single fd, which is select()-able. * inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item you were watching is on was unmounted." * inotify can watch directories or files. Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure), Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects. See Documentation/filesystems/inotify.txt.

Make usbmon to print Setup packets of Control transfers. This is useful when debugging enumeration issues. This is a change to the trace format which is not fully compatible. A parser has to look at the data length word now. If that word is a character like 's', read setup packet before proceeding with data.
