Input: wistron - declare keymaps as initdata

As the number of keymaps increases and is very unlikely to
reduce, this patch helps to reduce memory consumption by
declaring all keymaps as __initdata and copying right keymap
during DMI detection. On x86 this make the module size at
runtime going from 10616 to 9428: a bit more than 1kb saved.

Input: wistron - introduce generic keymap

It turns out that the keymaps in the wistron driver are almost the
same, the main difference being some keys which may not exist and
leds which might not be present. Therefore it's possible to write
a generic keymap which would allow the use of an unknown keyboard
with little drawbacks. The user can select it specifying the parameter
"keymap=generic".

Input: wistron - add acerhk laptop database

Acerhk supports already a lot of laptops. Lets import its database so
that everyone can benefit of the work of Olaf Tauber. Only the "tm_new"
laptops were imported. "tm_old" laptops could be possible but requires
more testing and probably only few laptops are still alive. "dritek"
laptops should probably be imported into a different driver. Also compress
the keymaps by fitting each entry on an int. Most of the dmi matching was
written based on google searches, so it's rather prone to errors. That's
why I'm asking people to confirm it works.

Support to generate switch input events was added as some laptops indicate
lid open/close through this interface.

Pete Zaitcev reports that with his touchpad, if he lifts the finger

This happens because we don't store coordinates unless we detect a
touch so sometimes we have stale coordinates in queue (from where
the finger left the pad) and averaging makes cursor to jump across

NeilBrown [Fri, 16 Feb 2007 09:28:38 +0000 (01:28 -0800)]
[PATCH] knfsd: stop NFSD writes from being broken into lots of little writes to filesystem

When NFSD receives a write request, the data is typically in a number of
1448 byte segments and writev is used to collect them together.

Unfortunately, generic_file_buffered_write passes these to the filesystem
one at a time, so an e.g.  32K over-write becomes a series of partial-page
writes to each page, causing the filesystem to have to pre-read those pages
- wasted effort.

generic_file_buffered_write handles one segment of the vector at a time as
it has to pre-fault in each segment to avoid deadlocks.  When writing from
kernel-space (and nfsd does) this is not an issue, so
generic_file_buffered_write does not need to break and iovec from nfsd into
little pieces.

This patch avoids the splitting when  get_fs is KERNEL_DS as it is
from NFSd.

This issue was introduced by commit 6527c2bdf1f833cc18e8f42bd97973d583e4aa83

acl.

That's fine, but we're doing that by inserting a deny after *every* allow,

17 years ago[PATCH] i386 rework local apic timer calibration
Thomas Gleixner [Fri, 16 Feb 2007 09:28:06 +0000 (01:28 -0800)]
[PATCH] i386 rework local apic timer calibration

The local apic timer calibration has two problem cases:

1.  The calibration is based on readout of the PIT/HPET timer to detect the
   wrap of the periodic tick.  It happens that a box gets stuck in the
   calibration loop due to a PIT with a broken readout function.

2.  CoreDuo boxen show a sporadic PIT runs too slow defect, which results
   in a wrong lapic calibration.  The PIT goes back to normal operation once
   the lapic timer is switched to periodic mode.

Both are existing and unfixed problems in the current upstream kernel and
prevent certain laptops and other systems from booting Linux.

Rework the code to address both problems:

- Make the calibration interrupt driven.  This removes the wait_timer_tick
  magic hackery from lapic.c and time_hpet.c.  The clockevents framework
  allows easy substitution of the global tick event handler for the
  calibration.  This is more accurate than monitoring jiffies.  At this point
  of the boot process, nothing disturbes the interrupt delivery, so the
  results are very accurate.

- Verify the calibration against the PM timer, when available by using the
  early access function.  When the measured calibration period is outside of
  an one percent window, then the lapic timer calibration is adjusted to the
  pm timer result.

- Verify the calibration by running the lapic timer with the calibration
  handler.  Disable lapic timer in case of deviation.

This also removes the "synchronization" of the local apic timer to the global
tick.  This synchronization never worked, as there is no way to synchronize
PIT(HPET) and local APIC timer.  The synchronization by waiting for the tick
just alignes the local APIC timer for the first events, but later the events
drift away due to the different clocks.  Removing the "sync" is just
randomizing the asynchronous behaviour at setup time.

[PATCH] Mark TSC on GeodeLX reliable

The Geode can safely use the TSC for highres, since:

1) Does not support frequency scaling,

2) The TSC _does_ count when the CPU is halted.  Furthermore, the Geode
   supports a mode called "suspension on halt", where Suspend mode (which
   interacts with the power management states) is entered.  TSC counting
   during suspend mode is controlled by bit 8 of the Bus Controller
   Configuration Register #0 (thanks Tom!).

3) no SMP :)

Check if "RTSC counts during suspension" and remove the requirement for
verification, so the clocksource code can safely select it as an timesource
for the highres timers subsystem.
