2010-01-17feature-removal-schedule: Add v4l1 drivers obsoleted by gspca sub driversHans de Goede1-0/+49
This patch adds the ov511, quickcam_messenger, w9968cf, stv680 and ovcamchip v4l1 drivers to the feature removal schedule as the devices they support are now all also supported by v4l2 gspca sub drivers. This patch also adds the v4l2 vc0301 driver for removal as it duplicates functionality of the gspca_zc3xx driver, zc0301 only supports 2 USB-ID's (because it only supports a limited set of sensors) wich are also supported by the gspca_zc3xx driver (which supports 53 USB-ID's in total).

2010-01-11proc: partially revert "procfs: provide stack information for threads"KOSAKI Motohiro1-2/+0
Commit d899bf7b (procfs: provide stack information for threads) introduced to show stack information in /proc/{pid}/status. But it cause large performance regression. Unfortunately /proc/{pid}/status is used ps command too and ps is one of most important component. Because both to take mmap_sem and page table walk are heavily operation. If many process run, the ps performance is, [before d899bf7b] % perf stat ps >/dev/null Performance counter stats for 'ps': 4090.435806 task-clock-msecs # 0.032 CPUs 229 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec 0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec 234 page-faults # 0.000 M/sec 8587565207 cycles # 2099.425 M/sec 9866662403 instructions # 1.149 IPC 3789415411 cache-references # 926.409 M/sec 30419509 cache-misses # 7.437 M/sec 128.859521955 seconds time elapsed [after d899bf7b] % perf stat ps > /dev/null Performance counter stats for 'ps': 4305.081146 task-clock-msecs # 0.028 CPUs 480 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec 2 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec 237 page-faults # 0.000 M/sec 9021211334 cycles # 2095.480 M/sec 10605887536 instructions # 1.176 IPC 3612650999 cache-references # 839.160 M/sec 23917502 cache-misses # 5.556 M/sec 152.277819582 seconds time elapsed Thus, this patch revert it. Fortunately /proc/{pid}/task/{tid}/smaps provide almost same information. we can use it. Commit d899bf7b introduced two features: 1) Add the annotattion of [thread stack: xxxx] mark to /proc/{pid}/task/{tid}/maps. 2) Add StackUsage field to /proc/{pid}/status. I only revert (2), because I haven't seen (1) cause regression.

2009-12-22PM / Runtime: Use device type and device class callbacksRafael J. Wysocki1-86/+87
The power management of some devices is handled through device types and device classes rather than through bus types. Since these devices may also benefit from using the run-time power management core, extend it so that the device type and device class run-time PM callbacks can be taken into consideration by it if the bus type callback is not defined. Update the run-time PM core documentation to reflect this change. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
