      drivers/virt: introduce Freescale hypervisor management driver · 6db71994
      Timur Tabi authored
      
      Add the drivers/virt directory, which houses drivers that support
      virtualization environments, and add the Freescale hypervisor management
      driver.
      
      The Freescale hypervisor management driver provides several services to
      drivers and applications related to the Freescale hypervisor:
      
      1. An ioctl interface for querying and managing partitions
      
      2. A file interface to reading incoming doorbells
      
      3. An interrupt handler for shutting down the partition upon receiving the
         shutdown doorbell from a manager partition
      
      4. A kernel interface for receiving callbacks when a managed partition
         shuts down.

      mmc: core: Add mmc CMD+ACMD passthrough ioctl · cb87ea28
      John Calixto authored
      
      Allows appropriately-privileged applications to send CMD (normal) and ACMD
      (application-specific; preceded with CMD55) commands to cards/devices on
      the mmc bus.  This is primarily useful for enabling the security
      functionality built in to every SD card.
      
      It can also be used as a generic passthrough (e.g. to enable virtual
      machines to control mmc bus devices directly).  However, this use case has
      not been tested rigorously.  Generic passthrough testing was only conducted
      for a few non-security opcodes to prove the feasibility of the passthrough.
      
      Since any opcode can be sent using this passthrough, it is very possible to
      render the card/device unusable.  Applications that use this ioctl must
      have CAP_SYS_RAWIO.
      
      Security commands tested on TI PCIxx12 (SDHCI), Sigma Designs SMP8652 SoC,
      TI OMAP3621/OMAP3630 SoC, Samsung S5PC110 SoC, Qualcomm MSM7200A SoC.

      Documentation: update broken web addresses. · 0ea6e611
      Justin P. Mattock authored
      
      Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
      updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
      Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
      the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
      Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
      on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
      to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

      A few Ceph ioctls for getting and setting file layout (striping)
      parameters, and learning the identity and network address of the OSD a
      given region of a file is stored on.

      LinuxPPS: core support · eae9d2ba
      Rodolfo Giometti authored
      
      This patch adds the kernel side of the PPS support currently named
      "LinuxPPS".
      
      PPS means "pulse per second" and a PPS source is just a device which
      provides a high precision signal each second so that an application can
      use it to adjust system clock time.
      
      Common use is the combination of the NTPD as userland program with a GPS
      receiver as PPS source to obtain a wallclock-time with sub-millisecond
      synchronisation to UTC.
      
      To obtain this goal the userland programs shoud use the PPS API
      specification (RFC 2783 - Pulse-Per-Second API for UNIX-like Operating
      Systems, Version 1.0) which in part is implemented by this patch.  It
      provides a set of chars devices, one per PPS source, which can be used to
      get the time signal.  The RFC's functions can be implemented by accessing
      to these char devices.

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
