Cleanup patch from Hollis Blanchard <hollis@austin.ibm.com> We have a large number of private implementations of BIN_TO_BCD and BCD_TO_BIN, which are all the same. And a lot of them are inflexible because they modify their arg: #define BIN_TO_BCD(val) ((val)=(((val)/10)<<4) + (val)%10) - Create (in <linux/bcd.h> a generic BIN2BCD/BCD2BIN which does not modify its arg - Create generic BIN_TO_BCD/BCD_TO_BIN which uses the above - Update lots of callers to use the new generic version.

It seems to have been displaying zero for the past several years, and we can't think of anything useful to put in there.

Patch from Paul Jakma <paulj@alphyra.ie> Documentation/sysctl/fs.txt is incorrect wrt to the middle number of /proc/sys/fs/file-nr. The current docs state it is the number of in-use file-handles, from observation this number is actually the number of /unused/ file-handles - we've observe that when it hits 0 we get file handle problems (rather than when it hits == file-max as docs imply).

Turns out there was an undocumented "c" flag for MODULE_PARM. This implementation is a little ugly, but it works, and will do for compatibility (I haven't implemented such a two-dimensional array primitive, but the whole point of the module_parm et al is that they are extensible).

The name is just a bit too generic, and we already use the _X86 prefix for lots of other stuff in that area. Dito for the never use CONFIG_PC and CONFIG_VISWS.

This patch combines my patch which statically initialises the crc32 tables so they can be used at any time (during initialisation) and Joakim Tjernlund's patch to speed up the crc calculations by doing word operations instead of exclusively byte. The crc routines are used extensively in jffs2 where speed is very important. I need the crc32 routines to calculate a checksum on values read from an eeprom which contain cpu speed and memory size information - so they are needed very much earlier in the initialisation process than they are currently available.

Clean up searching for best frequency, and add one safety check.

The usage of CPUFREQ_ALL_CPUS is deprecated. Only exception is cpufreq_set, which needs to iterate over all CPUS now. Also, remove some unneeded code.

Here is my multiple-bug-fix patch for the ide-tape driver. The corresponding patch for 2.4.21 has already been accepted by Marcelo.

We restore the ","s after parsing: if expect to keep pointers to this stuff, we must not do that.

NUMAQ does not link - it wants the smp_read_mpc_oem() which I recently disabled.

completly remove the old try_inc_mod_count()

* i2c-elektor.h is empty except for comments * sensors.h contains register offsets for tons of hw monitoring chips, move the few we actually need into the two drivers that use it (there is _no_ overlap)

a few new ids, a name change and 10 lines of new code, ported over from the external i2c package.

Add a struct module *owner field to struct i2c_adapter and i2c_algorithm and do refcouting on them before use instead of the inc_use and dec_use callbacks. While at it convert those structures to named initializers.

I interpreted "1-10s" to mean a string of 1-10 chars. It actually means 1-10 comma-separated strings.

Kernel codingsyle explicitly forbids it. Fortunately there aren't many useres left.

Currently for block devices both the SCSI_IOCTL_GET_IDLUN and SCSI_IOCTL_GET_BUS_NUMBER ioctls yield the value 0 (type: int). Various applications that utilize the sg driver use these ioctls to work out the relationship between sg devices and their higher level counterparts in the sd, sr, st and osst drivers. Examples that spring to mind are cdrecord, cdparanoia, SANE and sg_utils. This has been discussed in an earlier threaded started by me: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=103967899608891&w=2 in which my patch removed the ioctls in question from the block level. This broke non-scsi block devices that used applications that thought they were talking to an sg device **. The attachment fine tunes the original patch: for scsi block devices (i.e. owned by the sd or sr drivers) these 2 ioctls are redirected to the scsi mid level; for non-scsi block devices they will yield the value as 0 as they do now in lk 2.5.53 . ** This "yield 0" strategy will come unstuck when 2 or more cd writers (for example) are connected to the same box. Hence to be well formed, these ioctls (together) should produce unique tuples for each device (be they ATA(PI) or SCSI).

this is only for the module-related warning introduced by my __deprecated patch.

journal_init_common is always called from ext3 which already makes jbd.ko unloadable by relying on exported functions.

shorter and/or more descriptive choice names, add a full (tho still commented out entry) for the visw, based on the 2.4 Configure.help entry.

Add a const declaration to the __module_param_call so __param section gets more correct attributes.

Rather than have the module loader the module structure and resolve the symbols __this_module to it, make __this_module a real structure inside the module, using the linkonce trick we used for module names. This saves us an allocation (saving a page per module on archs which need the module structure close by), and means we don't have to fill in a few module fields.

Only one of wakeup_secondary_via_NMI() and wakeup_secondary_via_INIT() is needed. We're currently compiling both, which generates an unused function warning.
