2011-11-06ACPI: Export FADT pm_profile integer value to userspaceThomas Renninger
There are a lot userspace approaches to detect the usage of the platform (laptop, workstation, server, ...) and adjust kernel tunables accordingly (io/process scheduler, power management, ...). These approaches need constant maintaining and are ugly to implement (detect PCMCIA controller -> laptop, does not work on recent systems anymore, ...) On ACPI systems there is an easy and reliable way (if implemented in BIOS and most recent platforms have this value set). -> export it to userspace.

2011-07-16firewire: cdev: ABI documentation enhancementsStefan Richter
Add overview documentation in Documentation/ABI/stable/firewire-cdev. Improve the inline reference documentation in firewire-cdev.h: - Add /* available since kernel... */ comments to event numbers consistent with the comments on ioctl numbers. - Shorten some documentation on an event and an ioctl that are less interesting to current programming because there are newer preferable variants. - Spell Configuration ROM (name of an IEEE 1212 register) in upper case. - Move the dummy FW_CDEV_VERSION out of the reader's field of vision. We should remove it from the header next year or so. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
2011-07-14Document the vDSO and add a reference parserAndy Lutomirski
It turns out that parsing the vDSO is nontrivial if you don't already have an ELF dynamic loader around. So document it in Documentation/ABI and add a reference CC0-licenced parser.

This patch renames the (never officially released) sysfs-knobs "blocked_hw" and "blocked_sw" to "hard" and "soft", as the hardware vs software conotation is misleading.

2008-04-18ocfs2: Move /sys/o2cb to /sys/fs/o2cbMark Fasheh
/sys/fs is where we really want file system specific sysfs objects. Ocfs2-tools has been updated to look in /sys/fs/o2cb. We can maintain backwards compatibility with old ocfs2-tools by using a sysfs symlink. After some time (2 years), the symlink can be safely removed. This patch also adds documentation to make it easier for people to figure out what /sys/fs/o2cb is used for. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>
