| | | | | * HID: add driver for Roccat Kone gaming mouseStefan Achatz2010-03-221-0/+111
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This Patch adds support for Kone gaming mouse from Roccat. It provides access to profiles, settings, firmware, weight, actual settings etc. through sysfs attributes. Event handling of this mouse differs from standard hid behaviour in that tilt button press is reported in each move event which results in strange behaviour if not handled by the driver. This is a heavily reworked version of the previously introduced driver. The changes include most of the previously raised concerns, memory leak and other fixes, code cleanups, adoption of additional achieved knowlege about the hardware and is (IMHO) a much better version than before even when I exchanged reduced USB-IO with a bigger memory consumption. I refused to implement one mentioned point: Removing the 'just-because-we-can' attributes. Motivation: Reading the clipped in weight: I'm no gamer and can't determine the usefulness of this feature but if the manufacturer implements such a feature it might make sense to someone and I would unwillingly limit the functionality besides its such a small feature. Reading the actual profile and dpi settings: Here I can testify that one can get lost of the actual settings when switching back and forth. The manufacturers windows driver has the ability for on-screen-display of the values and there is a mouse in the market that has an lcd on the underside of it to show these values. So I think this feature makes sense not only for me and shouldn't be removed. Signed-off-by: Stefan Achatz <erazor_de@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>

The Prodikeys PC-MIDI is a multifunction keyboard comprising a qwerty keyboard, multimedia keys and a touch sensitive musical keyboard. The specialised HID driver adds full support for the musical keyboard and extra multimedia keys which are not currently handled by the default HID driver. The specialised HID driver interfaces with ALSA, and presents the midi keyboard as a rawmidi device. Sustain duration, octave shifting and the midi output channel can be read/written form userspace via sysfs.

* HWPOISON: Add soft page offline supportAndi Kleen2009-12-161-0/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a simpler, gentler variant of memory_failure() for soft page offlining controlled from user space. It doesn't kill anything, just tries to invalidate and if that doesn't work migrate the page away. This is useful for predictive failure analysis, where a page has a high rate of corrected errors, but hasn't gone bad yet. Instead it can be offlined early and avoided. The offlining is controlled from sysfs, including a new generic entry point for hard page offlining for symmetry too. We use the page isolate facility to prevent re-allocation race. Normally this is only used by memory hotplug. To avoid races with memory allocation I am using lock_system_sleep(). This avoids the situation where memory hotplug is about to isolate a page range and then hwpoison undoes that work. This is a big hammer currently, but the simplest solution currently. When the page is not free or LRU we try to free pages from slab and other caches. The slab freeing is currently quite dumb and does not try to focus on the specific slab cache which might own the page. This could be potentially improved later. Thanks to Fengguang Wu and Haicheng Li for some fixes. [Added fix from Andrew Morton to adapt to new migrate_pages prototype] Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

* mm: add numa node symlink for memory section in sysfsAlex Chiang2009-12-151-1/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit c04fc586c (mm: show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs) created symlinks from nodes to memory sections, e.g. /sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135 If you're examining the memory section though and are wondering what node it might belong to, you can find it by grovelling around in sysfs, but it's a little cumbersome. Add a reverse symlink for each memory section that points back to the node to which it belongs.

| * sysfs/cpu: Add probe/release filesNathan Fontenot2009-12-091-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Version 3 of this patch is updated with documentation added to Documentation/ABI. There are no changes to any of the C code from v2 of the patch. In order to support kernel DLPAR of CPU resources we need to provide an interface to add (probe) and remove (release) the resource from the system. This patch Creates new generic probe and release sysfs files to facilitate cpu probe/release. The probe/release interface provides for allowing each arch to supply their own routines for implementing the backend of adding and removing cpus to/from the system. This also creates the powerpc specific stubs to handle the arch callouts from writes to the sysfs files. The creation and use of these files is regulated by the CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE option so that only architectures that need the capability will have the files created.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When collecting slub stats for particular workloads, it's necessary to collect each statistic for all caches before the job is even started because the counters are usually greater than zero just from boot and initialization. This allows a statistic to be cleared on each cpu by writing '0' to its sysfs file. This creates a baseline for statistics of interest before the workload is started. Setting a statistic to a particular value is not supported, so all values written to these files other than '0' returns -EINVAL.
