All over the map. IDE patches as usual, USB updates, tons of C99 named initializers work, ACPI update, fixes from Alan, driverfs race fixes and cleanups, SCSI driver fixes from Doug and tons of input layer updates. Oh, and a new LDM driver, Rusty's CPU hotplug infrastructure, and Ingo's new cleaned-up GDT code with a per-process gdt segment on x86 for thread-local storage. And the serial and parallel port drivers seems to work again on SMP after the big irq lock upheaval.

It is much faster as you usually read whole directory in one request when using TCP transport, instead o Check for s_maxbytes and generate SIGXFSZ correctly in ncpfs's read and write. Only page cache generic_file_read/generic_file_write check for these conditions, and because of ncpfs does not use page cache, it must do that itself. o Update and fix inode attributes handling in ncpfs o Utilize NFS extended attributes for storing file mode and rdev. Make sure that you use nodev,nosuid together with nfsextras if you do not trust server... o Decide whether to build fs/ncpfs/symlinks.c or not in Makefile and not through ifdefing whole file out. It should make Al happier. o ipx use of cli/sti Russell King : o [SERIAL] Remove drivers/char/serial_{21285,amba}.c These drivers are now part of drivers/serial o [SERIAL] Fix documentation bug for expected stop_tx interrupt state o [SERIAL] Fix buglet causing (eg) ttyS-14 Allocate positive instead of negative line numbers when 8250.c registers a new port with the core. This bug could cause registrations to erroneously fail, or oopsen when the pcmcia serial device is ejected. o [SERIAL] Stop open() looping while opening a non-present port Trying to open a non-present port (for configuration) causes us to to endlessly loop (by returning -ERESTARTSYS). We should be returning success. This cset fixes this. o [SERIAL] Turn on 8250 framing/parity error reporting on INPCK not IGNPAR o designated initalizers for serial/ o [SERIAL] Fix initialiser warnings for HUB6 ports We were missing an element in the old_serial_port structure. Rusty Russell : o cpu_online() has odd semantics o Hot-plug CPU Boot Changes o Hot-plug CPU Boot Rewrite for i386 o Hot-plug CPU Boot Rewrite for PPC Trond Myklebust : o clean up RPC write_space() code o increase socket buffer for RPC over UDP o Reduce the number of getattr/lookup calls in nfs_lookup_revalidate() o add proper NFSv3 permissions checking Vojtech Pavlik : o Fixes needed to get Logitech WingMan 3D running o Kernel command line [__setup()] parsing fixes in all the input drivers that use it, except i8042. o Update of the X-Box USB pad driver and documentation to version 0.0.5 o This patch by Brad Hards replaces the four id* fields of the input struct by a single struct to simplify passing it around and to userspace. o Add an i8042_restore_ctr command line option. This allows not restoring the CTR value after an AUX write by default, which breaks Transmeta Crusoe i8042 chip emulation. The option might be needed on some ancient hardware, though. o Fox a typo in input documentation. Patch by Pavel Machek o Remove duplicately defined keys in input.h that got there as a part o Osamu Tomita o Fix the PS/2 mouse wheel in Explorer PS/2 mode o Enable the Q40 keyboard only on the Q40 platform o After some grepping and talking to maintainers, I did the appended cleanup patch. This should be it from me until char/keyboard.c becomes a real input layer client, but this final patch will be _very_ small now :-)). o The following fixes compilation errors in the Acorn related input drivers. o The following patch adds the "resend" capability to the keyboard driver; when the host driver detects a parity or framing error, we can ask the keyboard to resend the data, instead of treating random garbage as valid data. o This patch adds two new serio input drivers. Both are "UART" type drivers for PS/2 ports on both StrongARM and ARM Integrator hardware. o Apply Rusty's C99 initializer patch to input drivers o Add a GrIP MultiPort gamepad hub by Brian Bonnlander and Bill Soudan o By popular request, and explicit method of telling which events from a device belong together was implemented - input_sync() and EV_SYN. Touches every input driver. The first to make use of it is mousedev.c to properly merge events into PS/2 packets. o Small cleanup in evdev.c, which copies the data directly from input struct to userspace. o Add support for AT keyboards connected over a PS/2 to Serial converter to atkbd.c - trivial. Remove ps2serkbd, because it's not needed anymore. o Because the Linux Input core follows the USB HID standard where it comes to directions of movement and rotation, a mouse wheel should be positive where it "rotates forward, away from the user". We had the opposite in psmouse.c. Fixed this. o Add EVIOCSABS() ioctl to change the abs* informative values on input devices. This is something the X peoople really wanted. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
