* LinuxPPS: core supportRodolfo Giometti2009-06-181-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* V4L/DVB (10870a): remove all references for video_decoder.hMauro Carvalho Chehab2009-03-301-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | changeset 04934e44e3784a1b969582e2d59afcec278470c6 removed the last implementation that were still using the V4L1 obsoleted header. Now, video_decoder.h is not used anymore by any driver. Let's remove it and all references for it in Kernel. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

* UBI: document UBI ioctlsArtem Bityutskiy2008-12-091-0/+4
| | | | | | | Update the ioctl-numbers.txt file, add UBI and DVB there (because they use the same ioctl numbers). Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
* Create/use more directory structure in the Documentation/ tree.Randy Dunlap2008-11-141-0/+201
Create Documentation/blockdev/ sub-directory and populate it. Populate the Documentation/serial/ sub-directory. Move MSI-HOWTO.txt to Documentation/PCI/. Move ioctl-number.txt to Documentation/ioctl/. Update all relevant 00-INDEX files. Update all relevant Kconfig files and source files. Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com>
