e3c6e1aaa5 V4L/DVB (13168): Add support for Asus Europa Hybrid DVB-T card (SAA7134 SubVendor ID: 0x1043 Device ID: 0x4847)
Adds the device IDs and driver linking to allow the Asus Europa DVB-T
card to operate with these drivers.
The device has a SAA7134 chipset with a TD1316 Hybrid Tuner.
All inputs work on the card including switching between DVB-T and
Analogue TV, there is also no IR with this card.

131db3a1ac V4L/DVB (13164): DocBook/dvb: Starts documenting DVBS2API ioctls
DVBS2API introduced two new ioctls that allows changing/getting details about newer
video standards like DVB-S2 and ISDB-T. There are lots of thing to do in this chapter,
but, for now, just add a session there, in order to allow make to not complain about
undefined symbol.

With this patch, all ioctls at the frontend.h API were somehow documented.

b832104c7a V4L/DVB (13163): Docbook/dvb: Rename isdbt.xml to dvbproperty.xml
We'll need to add the documentation for FE_[GET|SET]_PROPERTY that
is not specific to isdb-t. Instead of doing it at frontend.xml,
it is better to have a separate session for it. Also, isdbt.xml assumes
that those ioctls were already introduced, and documents several exisiting
properties. So, better to just rename it and add the documentation for it,
together with each existing property there.

    ipv4: add sysctl to accept packets with local source addresses

    Change fib_validate_source() to accept packets with a local source address when
    the "accept_local" sysctl is set for the incoming inet device. Combined with the
    previous patches, this allows to communicate between multiple local interfaces
    over the wire.

afbcf7ab8d KVM: allow userspace to adjust kvmclock offset
When we migrate a kvm guest that uses pvclock between two hosts, we may
suffer a large skew. This is because there can be significant differences
between the monotonic clock of the hosts involved. When a new host with
a much larger monotonic time starts running the guest, the view of time
will be significantly impacted.

Situation is much worse when we do the opposite, and migrate to a host with
a smaller monotonic clock.

This proposed ioctl will allow userspace to inform us what is the monotonic
clock value in the source host, so we can keep the time skew short, and
more importantly, never goes backwards. Userspace may also need to trigger
the current data, since from the first migration onwards, it won't be
reflected by a simple call to clock_gettime() anymore.

ffde22ac53 KVM: Xen PV-on-HVM guest support
Support for Xen PV-on-HVM guests can be implemented almost entirely in
userspace, except for handling one annoying MSR that maps a Xen
hypercall blob into guest address space.

A generic mechanism to delegate MSR writes to userspace seems overkill
and risks encouraging similar MSR abuse in the future.  Thus this patch
adds special support for the Xen HVM MSR.

I implemented a new ioctl, KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG, that lets userspace tell
KVM which MSR the guest will write to, as well as the starting address
and size of the hypercall blobs (one each for 32-bit and 64-bit) that
userspace has loaded from files.  When the guest writes to the MSR, KVM
copies one page of the blob from userspace to the guest.

I've tested this patch with a hacked-up version of Gerd's userspace
code, booting a number of guests (CentOS 5.3 i386 and x86_64, and
FreeBSD 8.0-RC1 amd64) and exercising PV network and block devices.

519855c508 TCPCT part 1c: sysctl_tcp_cookie_size, socket option TCP_COOKIE_TRANSACTIONS
Define sysctl (tcp_cookie_size) to turn on and off the cookie option
default globally, instead of a compiled configuration option.

Define per socket option (TCP_COOKIE_TRANSACTIONS) for setting constant
data values, retrieving variable cookie values, and other facilities.

Move inline tcp_clear_options() unchanged from net/tcp.h to linux/tcp.h,
near its corresponding struct tcp_options_received (prior to changes).

This is a straightforward re-implementation of an earlier (year-old)
patch that no longer applies cleanly, with permission of the original
author (Adam Langley):

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/102586

additional features.

renames sched_signal_send event to signal_generate.

Changes in v4:
 - Fix a typo of task_struct pointer.

Changes in v3:
 - Add docbook style comments

Changes in v2:
 - Add siginfo argument
 - Add siginfo storing macro

e2f74f355e [ACPI/CPUFREQ] Introduce bios_limit per cpu cpufreq sysfs interface
This interface is mainly intended (and implemented) for ACPI _PPC BIOS
frequency limitations, but other cpufreq drivers can also use it for
similar use-cases.

Why is this needed:

Currently it's not obvious why cpufreq got limited.
People see cpufreq/scaling_max_freq reduced, but this could have
happened by:
  - any userspace prog writing to scaling_max_freq
  - thermal limitations
  - hardware (_PPC in ACPI case) limitiations

Therefore export bios_limit (in kHz) to:
  - Point the user that it's the BIOS (broken or intended) which limits
    frequency
  - Export it as a sysfs interface for userspace progs.
    While this was a rarely used feature on laptops, there will appear
    more and more server implemenations providing "Green IT" features like
    allowing the service processor to limit the frequency. People want
    to know about HW/BIOS frequency limitations.

All ACPI P-state driven cpufreq drivers are covered with this patch:
  - powernow-k8
  - powernow-k7
  - acpi-cpufreq

Tested with a patched DSDT which limits the first two cores (_PPC returns 1)
via _PPC, exposed by bios_limit:
# echo 2200000 >cpu2/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
# cat cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
2600000
2600000
2200000
2200000
# #scaling_max_freq shows general user/thermal/BIOS limitations

# cat cpu*/cpufreq/bios_limit
2600000
2600000
2800000
2800000
# #bios_limit only shows the HW/BIOS limitation

This is a complex interface and is already described in
Documentation/cpu-freq/, especially in the user-guide.txt file.

No need to copy/paste all that information. Let's just alert the reader
to the presence of the user-guide.
