[PATCH] perf: fix use_browser infinite loop bug in annotate
This patch fixes an infinite loop problem with perf annotate when the TUI is not used. When the perfconfig file is not found use_browser remains at -1, when found and tui is disabled use_browser = 0. Thus the correct test for TUI is use_browser > 0. Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian(a)google.com> diff --g... 27 May 2010 09:15

[PATCH V2] i2c-imx: do not allow interruptions when waiting for I2C to complete
The i2c_imx_trx_complete() function is using wait_event_interruptible_timeout() to wait for the I2C controller to signal that it has completed an I2C bus operation. If the process that causes the I2C operation receives a signal, the wait will be interrupted, returning an error. It is better to let the I2C operation... 27 May 2010 09:15
