* [PATCH] ntp: add time_adj to tick lengthRoman Zippel2006-10-011-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | This makes time_adj local to second_overflow() and integrates it into the tick length instead of adding it everytime.

* [PATCH] ntp: add ntp_update_frequencyRoman Zippel2006-10-013-25/+50
| | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces ntp_update_frequency() and deinlines ntp_clear() (as it's not performance critical). ntp_update_frequency() calculates the base tick length using tick_usec and adds a base adjustment, in case the frequency doesn't divide evenly by HZ.

* [PATCH] Pass sparse the lock expression given to lock annotationsJosh Triplett2006-10-011-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The lock annotation macros __acquires, __releases, __acquire, and __release all currently throw away the lock expression passed as an argument. Now that sparse can parse __context__ and __attribute__((context)) with a context expression, pass the lock expression down to sparse as the context expression. This requires a version of sparse from GIT commit 37475a6c1c3e66219e68d912d5eb833f4098fd72 or later.

* [PATCH] ipmi: don't start kipmid if the IPMI driver can use interruptsCorey Minyard2006-10-011-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the driver has interrupts available to it, there is really no reason to have a kernel daemon push the IPMI state machine. Note that I have experienced machines where the interrupts do not work correctly. This was a long time ago and hopefully things are better now. If some machines still have broken interrupts, a blacklist will need to be added.

* [PATCH] RTC class: error checksDavid Brownell2006-10-012-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rtc_is_valid_tm() routine needs to treat some of the fields it checks as unsigned, to prevent wrongly accepting invalid rtc_time structs; this is the same approach used elsewhere in the RTC code for such tests. Conversely, rtc_proc_show() is missing one invalid-day-of-month test that rtc_is_valid_tm() makes: there is no day zero.

* [PATCH] RTC class uses subsys_initDavid Brownell2006-10-014-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes RTC core components use "subsys_init" instead of "module_init", as appropriate for subsystem infrastructure. This is mostly useful for statically linking drivers in other parts of the tree that may provide an RTC interface as a secondary functionality (e.g. part of a multifunction chip); they won't need to worry so much about drivers/Makefile link order.

* [PATCH] Directed yield: cpu_relax variants for spinlocks and rw-locksMartin Schwidefsky2006-10-0116-2/+62
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On systems running with virtual cpus there is optimization potential in regard to spinlocks and rw-locks. If the virtual cpu that has taken a lock is known to a cpu that wants to acquire the same lock it is beneficial to yield the timeslice of the virtual cpu in favour of the cpu that has the lock (directed yield). With CONFIG_PREEMPT="n" this can be implemented by the architecture without common code changes. Powerpc already does this. With CONFIG_PREEMPT="y" the lock loops are coded with _raw_spin_trylock, _raw_read_trylock and _raw_write_trylock in kernel/spinlock.c. If the lock could not be taken cpu_relax is called. A directed yield is not possible because cpu_relax doesn't know anything about the lock. To be able to yield the lock in favour of the current lock holder variants of cpu_relax for spinlocks and rw-locks are needed. The new _raw_spin_relax, _raw_read_relax and _raw_write_relax primitives differ from cpu_relax insofar that they have an argument: a pointer to the lock structure.

* [PATCH] leds: turn LED off when changing triggersPaul Collins2006-10-011-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I was playing with LED triggers when I noticed that changing from heartbeat (or ide-disk) to "none" at the right moment would leave the LED stuck on. This is easy to reproduce by doing "find / >/dev/null" with the ide-disk trigger enabled and then switching to "none". Here is a patch that fixes the problem by explicitly turning the LED off after removing the existing trigger.
