2009-03-24tracing: Documentation / sample code fixes for tracepointsJody McIntyre
Fix the tracepoint documentation to refer to "tracepoint-sample" instead of "tracepoint-example" to match what actually exists; fix the directory, and clarify how to compile. Change every instance of "example" in the sample tracepoint code to "sample" for consistency.

Impact: help prevent extinction of species The Tasmanian Devil is a shy iconic Australian creature named for its spine-chilling screech. It is threatened with extinction due to a scientifically interesting but horrific transmissible facial cancer.

2009-03-04IPv6: add "disable" module parameter support to ipv6.koBrian Haley
Add "disable" module parameter support to ipv6.ko by specifying "disable=1" on module load. We just do the minimum of initializing inetsw6[] so calls from other modules to inet6_register_protosw() won't OOPs, then bail out. No IPv6 addresses or sockets can be created as a result, and a reboot is required to enable IPv6. Signed-off-by: Brian Haley <brian.haley@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-02-25ide: ide.c 'clear' fix, update "ide=nodma" documentationDavid Fries
Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt - ide=nodma is no longer valid. drivers/ide/Kconfig - The module is ide-core.ko not ide. drivers/ide/ide.c - It took me a while to figure out what the arguments %d.%d:%d to nodma module parameter ment, so I added a comment to each. - Added a comment to each of the sscanf lines. - There is a bug, if j is 0 it would previously clear all the other bits except the current device, changed in three different places. mask &= (1 << i) should be mask &= ~(1 << i).

2009-02-22docbook: split kernel-api for device-driversRandy Dunlap
The kernel-api docbook was much larger than any of the others, so processing it took longer and needed some docbook extras in some cases, so split it into kernel-api (infrastructure etc.) and device drivers/device subsystems. This allows these docbooks to be generated in parallel. (This reduced the docbook processing time on my 4-proc system with make -j4 from about 5min:16sec to about 2min:01sec.) The chapters that were moved from kernel-api to device-drivers are: Driver Basics Device drivers infrastructure Parallel Port Devices Message-based devices Sound Devices 16x50 UART Driver Frame Buffer Library Input Subsystem Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) I2C and SMBus Subsystem Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
