[PATCH 1/2] arm: msm: Add gpiolib support for MSM7200A-family chips.
Add support for uniprocessor MSM chips whose TLMM/GPIO design is the same as the MSM7200A. This includes, but is not necessarily limited to, the: MSM7200A, MSM7x25, MSM7x27, MSM7x30, QSD8x50, QSD8x50A Signed-off-by: Gregory Bean <gbean(a)codeaurora.org> --- arch/arm/mach-msm/Kconfig | 7 ++ arch/arm/... 15 Jun 2010 23:07

[PATCH 0/2] arm: msm: Add gpiolib support for MSM7200A-family chips.
Hi folks: Here is a proposed driver which adds gpio and irq support to all currently-supported arm-msm SoCs. Feedback is greatly appreciated. This is the second submission after it was decided that this code belongs in mach-msm instead of the generic drivers/gpio. It did receive some reviewing while submitted t... 15 Jun 2010 23:07

Does the kernel page the CFS's red-black tree nodes?
Dear Linus Torvalds et all: I read a recently published article on the ACM website, which discusses the effect virtual memory pressure has on certain algorithms and explains that data structures need to be designed in such a way that they minimize such effects: http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=1814327 The... 17 Jun 2010 04:37
