* printk: add printk_delay to make messages readable for some scenariosDave Young2009-09-231-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When syslog is not possible, at the same time there's no serial/net console available, it will be hard to read the printk messages. For example oops/panic/warning messages in shutdown phase. Add a printk delay feature, we can make each printk message delay some milliseconds. Setting the delay by proc/sysctl interface: /proc/sys/kernel/printk_delay The value range from 0 - 10000, default value is 0 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix a few things] Signed-off-by: Dave Young <hidave.darkstar@gmail.com> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Code can still be improved further, but this adds some basic safeguards. 1. hpfall *MUST* mlockall(MCL_CURRENT|MCL_FUTURE); itself! Since the Program sits and waits most of the time it becomes very likely swapped out. If it gets woken up when the laptop drops from the table while it is swapped out it actually triggers harddrive activity! 2. Daemonize hpfall using 'daemon(0,0)' (quick and dirty). 3. Give hpfall realtime priority. Should give a chance that it has less latency when woken up.

While there is a binary format, the expectation is that the binary output can be readily translated into text and post-processed offline. Obviously if the text format changes, the parser will break but the regular expression parser is fairly rudimentary so should be readily adjustable.

(happens for example at 687.25 Mhz) - On a lower frequency (511.25 Mhz) the picture is always sharp, but lacks colour. - No sound problems. - radio untested. Digital: - DVB-T/H stream reception works. - Would expect to see some more channels in the higher frequency region. Overall is the impression that sensitivity still needs improvement both in analog and digital modes.

| * | | | V4L/DVB (12722): v4l2-dev: replace 'kernel number' by 'device node number'.Hans Verkuil2009-09-191-4/+4

In one place the local variable 'nr' was used to create the device node number of the new device name. This has been replaced with the vdev->num field to more clearly mark this as being the device node number and not the minor number.

| * | | | V4L/DVB (12541): v4l: remove video_register_device_indexHans Verkuil2009-09-191-12/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | video_register_device_index is never actually called, instead the stream index number is always calculated automatically. This patch removes this function and simplifies the internal get_index function since that can now always just return the first free index.

| * | | | V4L/DVB (12534): soc-camera: V4L2 API compliant scaling (S_FMT) and cropping ↵Guennadi Liakhovetski2009-09-191-0/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (S_CROP) The initial soc-camera scaling and cropping implementation turned out to be incompliant with the V4L2 API, e.g., it expected the user to specify cropping in output window pixels, instead of input window pixels. This patch converts the soc-camera core and all drivers to comply with the standard.
