* USB: update documentation for usbmonAlan Stern2012-01-121-5/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit d8cae98cddd286e38db1724dda1b0e7b467f9237 upstream. The documentation for usbmon is out of date; the usbfs "devices" file now exists in /sys/kernel/debug/usb rather than /proc/bus/usb. This patch (as1505) updates the documentation accordingly, and also mentions that the necessary information can be found by running lsusb.

* USB: usbmon: fix-up docs and text API for sparse ISOPete Zaitcev2011-02-041-33/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is based on a patch that Alan Stern wrote. It did the same simple thing in both text and binary cases. In the same time, Marton and I fixed the binary side properly, but this leaves the text to be fixed. It is not very important due to low maxium data size of text, but let's add it just for extra correctness. The pseudocode is too much to keep fixed up, and we have real code to be used as examples now, so let's drop it too.

The documentation for usbmon in the kernel 2.6.31-rc7 kernel doesn't match what the kernel exposes in the debug fs tree. This patch fixes it.

* USB: usbmon: touch up the documentationPete Zaitcev2009-09-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | I think this sentence was confusing regarding the possible size of the data area. Signed-off-by: Pete Zaitcev <zaitcev@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* USB: usbmon: Add binary API v1Pete Zaitcev2009-03-241-7/+20
| | | | | | | | | | This patch adds an extension to the binary API so it reaches parity with existing text API (so-called "1u"). The extension delivers additional data, such as ISO descriptors and the interrupt interval. Signed-Off-By: Pete Zaitcev <zaitcev@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* usbmon: drop bogus 0t from usbmon.txtPete Zaitcev2008-12-171-5/+7
| | | | | | | | | The example is incorrect: there is no 0t socket (the '1t' format has no bus number in it). Also, correct the broken sentence for USB Tag. Signed-off-by: Pete Zaitcev <zaitcev@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* USB: usbmon doc update - mention new wildcard ('0') busPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2007-10-121-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | Update usbmon documentation, mentioning the "zero" (wildcard) bus. Possibly, in my first hunk, the 'either ... or ...' should be rephrased a bit to be expressed better.

* usbmon: Extended text APIPete Zaitcev2007-04-271-24/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a new text API, codenamed '1u', which captures more URB fields than old '1t' interface did. Also the '1u' text API is compatible with the future "bus zero" extension.

* USB: add binary API to usbmonPete Zaitcev2007-02-071-2/+150
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a new, "binary" API in addition to the old, text API usbmon had before. The new API allows for less CPU use, and it allows to capture all data from a packet where old API only captured 32 bytes at most. There are some limitations and conditions to this, e.g. in case someone constructs a URB with 1GB of data, it's not likely to be captured, because even the huge buffers of the new reader are finite. Nonetheless, I expect this new capability to capture all data for all real life scenarios. The downside is, a special user mode application is required where cat(1) worked before. I have sample code at http://people.redhat.com/zaitcev/linux/ and Paolo Abeni is working on patching libpcap. This patch was initially written by Paolo and later I tweaked it, and we had a little back-and-forth. So this is a jointly authored patch, but I am submitting this I am responsible for the bugs.

* [PATCH] USB: ub documentation updatePete Zaitcev2005-08-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | The patch which went in was correct, but not quite what I had in mind. Here is a patch to update that a little bit. Original patch is at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=4749f32da939d4e4160541b2cadc22492bb507ec Signed-off-by: Pete Zaitcev <zaitcev@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] USB: Patch to make usbmon to print control setup packetsPete Zaitcev2005-07-121-8/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make usbmon to print Setup packets of Control transfers. This is useful when debugging enumeration issues. This is a change to the trace format which is not fully compatible. A parser has to look at the data length word now. If that word is a character like 's', read setup packet before proceeding with data. I decided not to bump the API tag for this because not many such parsers exist at this point.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+156
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
