[PATCH] perf_events: fix event scheduling issues introduced by transactional API (take 2)
The transactional API patch between the generic and model-specific code introduced several important bugs with event scheduling, at least on X86. If you had pinned events, e.g., watchdog, and were over-committing the PMU, you would get bogus counts. The bug was showing up on Intel CPU because events would move aro... 25 May 2010 10:12

[PATCH 0/2] input: mt: Add EVIOC mechanism for MT slots
These patches are in response to the discussion about input state retrieval. The current EVIOCGABS method does not work with MT slots. These patches provides a mechanism where a slot is first selected via a call to EVIOCSABS, after which the corresponding MT events can be extracted with calls to EVIOCGABS. T... 25 May 2010 08:01

[PATCH 1/2] input: mt: Add method to extract the MT slot state
This patch adds the function input_mt_get_abs_value(), which may be used to extract the current state of the MT slots.
