2008-11-24ALSA: hda: Added an ALC888 model entry for Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Xa3530Vincent Petry
This patch fixes the bug 0004240: ALC888 - Intel HDA - Headphone Controlling. It is made against the 2008-11-23 snapshot. Added Realtek ALC888 model entry for the Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Xa3530 laptop. It has 4 jacks: HP out, Mic-in, Line-in and Line-out/Side/SPDIF (this one is on the laptop side, the other ones are on the rear). Model detection works. Headphone jack sense works now. Front mic works now, was same as Acer Aspire 4930G. Added channel mode from 2 to 8 channels. In 2ch and 4ch modes, the front is also sent to the Line-out/side jack for convenience instead of just muting the Line-out/side jack like other models do. When using the Mic-in jack as CLFE, the sound is very low (bug?). To work it around, in 6ch mode the CLFE channel is duplicated to the Line-out/side jack because this one has a better amp.

2008-11-23dccp: Set per-connection CCIDs via socket optionsGerrit Renker
With this patch, TX/RX CCIDs can now be changed on a per-connection basis, which overrides the defaults set by the global sysctl variables for TX/RX CCIDs. To make full use of this facility, the remaining patches of this patch set are needed, which track dependencies and activate negotiated feature values.

2008-11-23tracing: identify which executable object the userspace address belongs toTörök Edwin
Impact: modify+improve the userstacktrace tracing visualization feature Store thread group leader id, and use it to lookup the address in the process's map. We could have looked up the address on thread's map, but the thread might not exist by the time we are called. The process might not exist either, but if you are reading trace_pipe, that is unlikely. Example usage: mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing echo userstacktrace >iter_ctrl echo sym-userobj >iter_ctrl echo sched_switch >current_tracer echo 1 >tracing_enabled cat trace_pipe >/tmp/trace& .... run application ... echo 0 >tracing_enabled cat /tmp/trace You'll see stack entries like: /lib/libpthread-2.7.so[+0xd370] You can convert them to function/line using: addr2line -fie /lib/libpthread-2.7.so 0xd370 Or: addr2line -fie /usr/lib/debug/libpthread-2.7.so 0xd370 For non-PIC/PIE executables this won't work: a.out[+0x73b] You need to run the following: addr2line -fie a.out 0x40073b (where 0x400000 is the default load address of a.out) Signed-off-by: Török Edwin <edwintorok@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

To get the best output you can compile your userspace programs with frame pointers (at least glibc + the app you are tracing).

2008-11-21ASoC: Rename snd_soc_card to snd_soc_machineMark Brown
One of the issues with the ASoC v1 API which has been addressed in the ASoC v2 work that Liam Girdwood has done is that the ALSA card provided by ASoC is distributed around the ASoC structures. For example, machine wide data such as the struct snd_card are maintained as part of the CODEC data structure, preventing the use of multiple codecs. This has been addressed by refactoring the data structures so that all the data for the ALSA card is contained in a single structure snd_soc_card which replaces the existing snd_soc_machine and snd_soc_device. Begin the process of backporting this by renaming struct snd_soc_machine to struct snd_soc_card, better reflecting its function and bringing it closer to standard ALSA terminology.

The changes specific for Samsung laptops seem unapplicable to other hardware models like ASUS. The mic inputs are lost on such hardware by the change 5d5d5f43f1b835c375de9bd270cce030d16e2871. This patch adds back the old laptop-eapd model, and create a new model "samsung" for the new one specific to Samsung laptops with automatic mic selection feature.

2008-11-19uwb: add basic radio managerDavid Vrabel
The UWB radio manager coordinates the use of the radio between the PALs that may be using it. PALs request use of the radio with uwb_radio_start() and the radio manager will start beaconing if its not already doing so. When the last PAL has called uwb_radio_stop() beaconing will be stopped. In the future, the radio manager will have a more sophisticated channel selection algorithm, probably following the Channel Selection Policy from the WiMedia Alliance when it is finalized. For now, channel 9 (BG1, TFC1) is selected. The user may override the channel selected by the radio manager and may force the radio to stop beaconing. The WUSB Host Controller PAL makes use of this and there are two new debug PAL commands that can be used for testing. Signed-off-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@csr.com>

2008-11-16dccp: Deprecate Ack Ratio sysctlGerrit Renker
This patch deprecates the Ack Ratio sysctl, since * Ack Ratio is entirely ignored by CCID-3 and CCID-4, * Ack Ratio currently doesn't work in CCID-2 (i.e. is always set to 1); * even if it would work in CCID-2, there is no point for a user to change it: - Ack Ratio is constrained by cwnd (RFC 4341, 6.1.2), - if Ack Ratio > cwnd, the system resorts to spurious RTO timeouts (since waiting for Acks which will never arrive in this window), - cwnd is not a user-configurable value. The only reasonable place for Ack Ratio is to print it for debugging. It is planned to do this later on, as part of e.g. dccp_probe. With this patch Ack Ratio is now under full control of feature negotiation: * Ack Ratio is resolved as a dependency of the selected CCID; * if the chosen CCID supports it (i.e. CCID == CCID-2), Ack Ratio is set to the default of 2, following RFC 4340, 11.3 - "New connections start with Ack Ratio 2 for both endpoints"; * what happens then is part of another patch set, since it concerns the dynamic update of Ack Ratio while the connection is in full flight.
