ACPI: make _OSI(Linux) console messages smarter

2008-01-24T02:26:15Z

If BIOS invokes _OSI(Linux), the kernel response depends on what the ACPI DMI list knows about the system, and that is reflectd in dmesg: 1) System unknown to DMI: ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored ACPI: DMI System Vendor: LENOVO ACPI: DMI Product Name: 7661W1P ACPI: DMI Product Version: ThinkPad T61 ACPI: DMI Board Name: 7661W1P ACPI: DMI BIOS Vendor: LENOVO ACPI: DMI BIOS Date: 10/18/2007 ACPI: Please send DMI info above to linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org ACPI: If "acpi_osi=Linux" works better, please notify linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org 2) System known to DMI, but effect of OSI(Linux) unknown: ACPI: DMI detected: Lenovo ThinkPad T61 ... ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored via DMI ACPI: If "acpi_osi=Linux" works better, please notify linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org 3) System known to DMI, which disables _OSI(Linux): ACPI: DMI detected: Lenovo ThinkPad T61 ... ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored via DMI 4) System known to DMI, which enable _OSI(Linux): ACPI: DMI detected: Lenovo ThinkPad T61 ACPI: Added _OSI(Linux) ... ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query honored via DMI cmdline overrides take precidence over the built-in default and the DMI prescribed default. cmdline "acpi_osi=Linux" results in: ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query honored via cmdline Signed-off-by: Len Brown

DMI: create dmi_get_slot()

2008-01-24T02:23:13Z

This simply allows other sub-systems (such as ACPI) to access and print out slots in static dmi_ident[]. Signed-off-by: Len Brown

[MIPS] SMTC: Fix build error.

CRIS v10: vmlinux.lds.S: ix kernel oops on boot and use common defines

2008-01-17T23:38:58Z

- Move alignment to page size of init data outside ifdef for BLK_DEV_INITRD. The reservation up to page size of memory after init data was previously not done if BLK_DEV_INITRD was undefined. This caused a kernel oops when init memory pages were freed after startup, data placed in the same page as the last init memory would also be freed and reused, with disastrous results. - Use macros for initcalls and .text sections. - Replace hardcoded page size constant with PAGE_SIZE define. - Change include/asm-cris/page.h to use the _AC macro to instead of testing __ASSEMBLY__.

lockdep: fix workqueue creation API lockdep interaction

2008-01-16T08:51:58Z

Dave Young reported warnings from lockdep that the workqueue API can sometimes try to register lockdep classes with the same key but different names. This is not permitted in lockdep. Unfortunately, I was unaware of that restriction when I wrote the code to debug workqueue problems with lockdep and used the workqueue name as the lockdep class name. This can obviously lead to the problem if the workqueue name is dynamic. This patch solves the problem by always using a constant name for the workqueue's lockdep class, namely either the constant name that was passed in or a string consisting of the variable name.

libata: correct handling of TSS DVD

2008-01-15T21:35:21Z

Devices that misreport the validity bit for word 93 look like SATA. If they are on the blacklist then we must not test for SATA but assume 40 wire in the 40 wire case (The TSSCorp reports 80 wire on SATA it seems!)
