| * ata: Add documentation for hard disk shock protection interface (v3)Elias Oltmanns2008-10-131-0/+149
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Put some information (and pointers to more) into the kernel's doc tree, describing briefly the interface to the kernel's disk head unloading facility. Information about how to set up a complete shock protection system under GNU/Linux can be found on the web and is referenced accordingly. v3: Here is some final polish including various spelling corrections pointed out by Grant Grundler and Peter Moulder. Also, I have added some information about the timing constraints related to disk head parking. The patch looks more impressive than it really is and I think it would be alright just to incorporate it into the original patch so as not to clutter up the git log.

* ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add bluetooth and WWAN rfkill supportHenrique de Moraes Holschuh2008-07-211-6/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a read/write rfkill interface to the bluetooth radio switch on the bluetooth submodule, and one for the wireless wan radio switch to the wan submodule. Since rfkill does care for when a switch changes state, use WLSW notifications to also check if the WWAN or Bluetooth switches did not change state (due to them being slaves of WLSW in firmware/hardware, but that reality not being always properly exported by the thinkpad firmware).

* ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: claim tpacpi as an official short handle (v1.1)Henrique de Moraes Holschuh2008-04-291-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unfortunately, a lot of stuff in the kernel has size limitations, so "thinkpad-acpi" ends up eating up too much real estate. We were using "tpacpi" in symbols already, but this shorthand was not visible to userland. Document that the driver will use tpacpi as a short hand where necessary, and use it to name the kernel thread for NVRAM polling (now named "ktpacpi_nvramd"). Also, register a module alias with the shorthand. One can refer to the module using the shorthand name.

* ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: BIOS backlight mode helper (v2.1)Henrique de Moraes Holschuh2008-04-291-0/+50
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Lenovo ThinkPads with generic ACPI backlight level control can be easily set to react to keyboard brightness key presses in a more predictable way than what they do when in "DOS / bootloader" mode after Linux brings up the ACPI interface. The switch to the ACPI backlight mode in the firmware is designed to be safe to use only as an one way trapdoor. One is not to force the firmware to switch back to "DOS/bootloader" mode except by rebooting. The mode switch itself is performed by calling any of the ACPI _BCL methods at least once. When in ACPI mode, the backlight firmware just issues (standard) events for the brightness up/down hot key presses along with the non-standard HKEY events which thinkpad-acpi traps, and doesn't touch the hardware. thinkpad-acpi will: 1. Place the ThinkPad firmware in ACPI backlight control mode if one is available 2. Suppress HKEY backlight change notifications by default to avoid double-reporting when ACPI video is loaded when the ThinkPad is in ACPI backlight control mode 3. Urge the user to load the ACPI video driver The user is free to use either the ACPI video driver to get the brightness key events, or to override the thinkpad-acpi default hotkey mask to get them from thinkpad-acpi as well (this will result in duplicate events if ACPI video is loaded, so let's hope distros won't screw this up). Provided userspace is sane, all should work (and *keep* working), which is more that can be said about the non-ACPI mode of the new Lenovo ThinkPad BIOSes when coupled to current userspace and X.org drivers. Full guidelines for backlight hot key reporting and use of the thinkpad-acpi backlight interface have been added to the documentation.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The mail LED name for acer-wmi currently hardcodes in the colour as green. This is wrong, since many of the newer laptops now come with an orange LED, and we have no way of telling what colour is used on a given system. Also, rename the mail LED to be inline with the current recommendations of the LED class documentation.

* ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add tablet-mode reportingHenrique de Moraes Holschuh2008-02-161-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A quick study of the 0x5009/0x500A HKEY event on the X61t DSDT revealed the existence of the EC HTAB register (EC 0x0f, bit 7), and a compare with the X41t DSDT shows that HKEY.MHKG can be used to verify if the ThinkPad is tablet-capable (MHKG present), and in tablet mode (bit 3 of MHKG return is set). Add an attribute to report this information, "hotkey_tablet_mode". This attribute has poll()/select() support, and can be used along with EV_SW SW_TABLET_MODE to hook userspace to tablet events.

* Documentation - Create laptops sub-directoryCarlos Corbacho2008-02-091-0/+2
There are currently various laptop drivers floating about with no central place for their documentation, which is currently scattered around the top level Documentation/ directory. So, as a first step, lets create a Documentation sub-directory, and update the relevant index files. The work of then moving the existing laptop driver related documentation will then be handled later.
