2009-02-06i2c-nforce2: Add support for MCP67, MCP73 and MCP79Jean Delvare
The MCP79 appears to be compatible with the previous nForce chips as far as the SMBus controller is concerned. The MCP67 and MCP73 were not tested yet but I'd be very surprised if they weren't compatible too.

2009-02-06dynamic debug: combine dprintk and dynamic printkJason Baron
This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'. The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface, (an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function, file, module, format string, and line number. for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack': echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control to disable them: echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

2009-02-06UIO: Add name attributes for mappings and port regionsHans J. Koch
If a UIO device has several memory mappings, it can be difficult for userspace to find the right one. The situation becomes even worse if the UIO driver can handle different versions of a card that have different numbers of mappings. Benedikt Spranger has such cards and pointed this out to me. Thanks, Bene! To address this problem, this patch adds "name" sysfs attributes for each mapping. Userspace can use these to clearly identify each mapping. The name string is optional. If a driver doesn't set it, an empty string will be returned, so this patch won't break existing drivers. The same problem exists for port region information, so a "name" attribute is added there, too. Signed-off-by: Hans J. Koch <hjk@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2009-02-05[CPUFREQ] Introduce ↵Thomas Renninger
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/cpuinfo_transition_latency It's not only useful for the ondemand and conservative governors, but also for userspace daemons to know about the HW transition latency of the CPU. It is especially useful for userspace to know about this value when the ondemand or conservative governors are run. The sampling rate control value depends on it and for userspace being able to set sane tuning values there it has to know about the transition latency.

2009-02-05selinux: Remove the "compat_net" compatibility codePaul Moore
The SELinux "compat_net" is marked as deprecated, the time has come to finally remove it from the kernel. Further code simplifications are likely in the future, but this patch was intended to be a simple, straight-up removal of the compat_net code. [NOTE: I've lightly tested this on current 2.6.29-rcX kernels without problem, I'm posting this to solicit any comments. I'm also going to push this to the lblnet-2.6_next tree so we should see this in linux-next in the next day (or two).]
2009-02-05trivial: fix where cgroup documentation is not correctly referred toThadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo

2009-02-05[S390] s390/hvc_iucv: Provide IUCV z/VM user ID filteringHendrik Brueckner
This patch introduces the kernel parameter hvc_iucv_allow= that specifies a comma-separated list of z/VM user IDs. If specified, the z/VM IUCV hypervisor console device driver accepts IUCV connections from listed z/VM user IDs only.

2009-02-04gianfar: Fix stashing supportAndy Fleming
Stashing is only supported on the 85xx (e500-based) SoCs. The 83xx and 86xx chips don't have a proper cache for this. U-Boot has been updated to add stashing properties to the device tree nodes of gianfar devices on 85xx. So now we modify Linux to keep stashing off unless those properties are there.
