Hartley Sweeten ef12379f20 ARM: 5628/1: ep93xx: Introduce Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) driver
The EP93xx features two PWMs (one on the EP9307) with the following
features:

  * Configurable dual output
  * Separate input clocks for each PWM output
  * 16-bit resolution
  * Programmable pulse width (duty cycle), interval (frequency), and
    polarity

This adds the necessary core support as well as the driver.  A sysfs
interface is provided to control the PWM outputs.

Len Brown 41b16dce39 create drivers/platform/x86/ from drivers/misc/
Move x86 platform specific drivers from drivers/misc/
to a new home under drivers/platform/x86/.

The community has been maintaining x86 vendor-specific
platform specific drivers under /drivers/misc/ for a few years.
The oldest ones started life under drivers/acpi.
They moved out of drivers/acpi/ because they don't actually
implement the ACPI specification, but either simply
use ACPI, or implement vendor-specific ACPI extensions.

In the future we anticipate...
drivers/misc/ will go away.
other architectures will create drivers/platform/<arch>

This is a driver for ACPI extras such as hotkeys and backlight
brightness control on various Panasonic "Let's Note" series laptop
computers.

It exports the backlight via the backlight class device API,
and the hotkeys as input event device.  Some more esoteric
items like number of installed batteries are exported via sysfs
device attributes.

Hotkey events also generate old-style ACPI enents through
/proc/acpi/event to interoperate with current versions of acpid.

Jason Wessel e8d31c204e kgdb: add kgdb internal test suite
This patch adds regression tests for testing the kgdb core and arch
specific implementation.

The kgdb test suite is designed to be built into the kernel and not as
a module because it uses a number of low level kernel and kgdb
primitives which should not be exported externally.

The kgdb test suite is designed as a KGDB I/O module which
simulates the communications that a debugger would have with kgdb.
The tests are broken up in to a line by line and referenced here as
a "get" which is kgdb requesting input and "put" which is kgdb
sending a response.

The kgdb suite can be invoked from the kernel command line
arguments system or executed dynamically at run time.  The test
suite uses the variable "kgdbts" to obtain the information about
which tests to run and to configure the verbosity level.  The
following are the various characters you can use with the kgdbts=
line:

When using the "kgdbts=" you only choose one of the following core
test types:
A = Run all the core tests silently
V1 = Run all the core tests with minimal output
V2 = Run all the core tests in debug mode

You can also specify optional tests:
N## = Go to sleep with interrupts of for ## seconds
      to test the HW NMI watchdog
F## = Break at do_fork for ## iterations
S## = Break at sys_open for ## iterations

NOTE: that the do_fork and sys_open tests are mutually exclusive.

To invoke the kgdb test suite from boot you use a kernel start
argument as follows:
	kgdbts=V1 kgdbwait
Or if you wanted to perform the NMI test for 6 seconds and do_fork
test for 100 forks, you could use:
	kgdbts=V1N6F100 kgdbwait

The test suite can also be invoked at run time with:
echo kgdbts=V1N6F100 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts
Or as another example:
echo kgdbts=V2 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts

When developing a new kgdb arch specific implementation or
using these tests for the purpose of regression testing,
several invocations are required.

1) Boot with the test suite enabled by using the kernel arguments
      "kgdbts=V1F100 kgdbwait"
   ## If kgdb arch specific implementation has NMI use
      "kgdbts=V1N6F100

2) After the system boot run the basic test.
echo kgdbts=V1 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts

3) Run the concurrency tests.  It is best to use n+1
   while loops where n is the number of cpus you have
   in your system.  The example below uses only two
   loops.

## This tests break points on sys_open
while [ 1 ] ; do find / > /dev/null 2>&1 ; done &
while [ 1 ] ; do find / > /dev/null 2>&1 ; done &
echo kgdbts=V1S10000 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts
fg # and hit control-c
fg # and hit control-c
## This tests break points on do_fork
while [ 1 ] ; do date > /dev/null ; done &
while [ 1 ] ; do date > /dev/null ; done &
echo kgdbts=V1F1000 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts
fg # and hit control-c

David Brownell 2a341f5cf5 atmel_tc library
Create <linux/atmel_tc.h> based on <asm-arm/arch-at91/at91-tc.h> and the
at91sam9263 and at32ap7000 datasheets.  Most AT91 and AT32 SOCs have one
or two of these TC blocks, which include three 16-bit timers that can be
interconnected in various ways.

These TC blocks can be used for external interfacing (such as PWM and
measurement), or used as somewhat quirky sixteen-bit timers.

Changes relative to the original version:
  * Drop unneeded inclusion of <linux/mutex.h>
  * Support an arbitrary number of TC blocks
  * Return a struct with information about a TC block from
    atmel_tc_alloc() instead of using a combination of return values
    and "out" parameters.
  * ioremap() the I/O registers on allocation
  * Look up clocks and irqs for all channels
  * Add "name" parameter to atmel_tc_alloc() and use this when
    requesting the iomem resource.
  * Check if the platform provided the necessary resources at probe()
    time instead of when the TCB is allocated.

Yeah, we could have just disabled it, but there's work on a new one that

point in keeping it around.

The recent timer cleanup broke the only valid use, and when I say
"valid", I obviously mean "totally broken".  So it's not like it works,
or really even can work in the current format that uses the unsafe
"panic" LED blinking routines..

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh f21f85de4b ACPI: ibm-acpi: rename driver to thinkpad-acpi
Rename the ibm-acpi driver to thinkpad-acpi.  ThinkPads are not even made
by IBM anymore, so it is high time to rename the driver...

The name thinkpad-acpi was used sometime ago by a thinkpad-specific hotkey
driver by Erik Rigtorp, around the 2.6.8-2.6.10 time frame.  The driver
apparently never got merged into mainline (it did make some trips through
-mm).  ibm-acpi was merged soon after, making its debut in 2.6.10.

The reuse of the thinkpad-acpi name shouldn't be a problem as far as user
confusion goes, as Erik's thinkpad-acpi apparently didn't get widespread
use in the Linux ThinkPad community and most hits for thinkpad-acpi in

Erik, if you read this, please consider the reuse of the thinkpad-acpi name
as a compliment to your effort to make ThinkPads more useful to all of us.

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh 3ede41c718 ACPI: ibm-acpi: move driver to drivers/misc hierarchy
ibm-acpi is not an ACPICA driver, so move it to drivers/misc as per Len
Brown's request.

Mattia Dongili 91fbc1d311 sony-laptop: create from sony_acpi
Move drivers/acpi/sony_acpi.c to drivers/misc/sony-laptop.c with all the
necessary configuration.
The SONY_LAPTOP config option substitutes the old ACPI_SONY and is 'default n'
now.

Corentin Chary 85091b7189 asus-laptop: add base driver
Adds the new driver and make ASUS_LAPTOP and ACPI_ASUS
incompatible.  It may be strange to use ASUS_CREATE_DEVICE_ATTR
and ASUS_SET_DEVICE_ATTR now, but these macro will be very
usefull in next patchs.  ASUS_HANDLE and ASUS_HANDLE_INIT comes
from IBM_HANDLE and IBM_HANDLE_INIT, with some modification,
and will also be used in next patchs.

Brent Casavant 59f148005c [PATCH] ioc4: Enable build on non-SN2
The SGI PCI-RT card, based on the SGI IOC4 chip, will be made available on
Altix XE (x86_64) platforms in the near future.  As such it is now a
misnomer for the IOC4 base device driver to live under drivers/sn, and
would complicate builds for non-SN2.

This patch moves the IOC4 base driver code from drivers/sn to drivers/misc,
and updates the associated Makefiles and Kconfig files to allow building on
non-SN2 configs.  Due to the resulting change in link order, it is now
necessary to use late_initcall() for IOC4 subdriver initialization.

Lennart Poettering 8c4c731a89 MSI S270 Laptop support: backlight, wlan, bluetooth states
Create a driver to support the platform-specific features
of MSI S270 laptops (and maybe other MSI laptops).
This driver implements a backlight device for controlling LCD brightness
(/sys/class/backlight/msi-laptop-bl/).
In addition it allows access to the WLAN and Bluetooth states
through a platform driver (/sys/devices/platform/msi-laptop-pf/).

Ankita Garg 8bb31b9d53 [PATCH] Linux Kernel Dump Test Module
A simple module to test Linux Kernel Dump mechanism.  This module uses
jprobes to install/activate pre-defined crash points.  At different crash
points, various types of crashing scenarios are created like a BUG(),
panic(), exception, recursive loop and stack overflow.  The user can
activate a crash point with specific type by providing parameters at the
time of module insertion.  Please see the file header for usage
information.  The module is based on the Linux Kernel Dump Test Tool by
Fernando <http://lkdtt.sourceforge.net>.

This module could be merged with mainline. Jprobes is used here so that the
context in which crash point is hit, could be maintained. This implements
all the crash points as done by LKDTT except the one in the middle of
tasklet_action().

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
