Andi Kleen 9ce883becb [PATCH] x86: Remove noreplacement option
noreplacement is dangerous on modern systems because it will not replace the
context switch FNSAVE with SSE aware FXSAVE. But other places in the kernel still assume
SSE and do FXSAVE and the CPU will then access FXSAVE information with
FNSAVE and cause corruption.

Easiest way to avoid this is to remove the option. It was mostly for paranoia
reasons anyways and alternative()s have been stable for some time.

Thanks to Jeremy F. for reporting and helping debug it.

justification to remove dv1394 right now.

Nevertheless, a strong deprecation of this ABI makes a lot of sense,

alternative to the existing ones.  But we don't have a schedule at the

Simon Horman 2400ff77e7 [PATCH] CPUSETS: add mems to basic usage documentation
It seems that there must be at least one node in mems and at least one CPU
in cpus in order to be able to assign tasks to a cpuset.  This makes sense.
 And I think it would also make sense to include a mems setting in the
basic usage section of the documentation.

I also wonder if something logged to dmsg, explaining why a write failed,
would be a good enhancement.  I ended up having rummage arround in cpuset.c
in order to work out why my configuration was failing.

 o Change default for AX25_DAMA_SLAVE to Y.  AX25_DAMA_SLAVE only compiles

   distributions to ship their AX.25 kernels with AX25_DAMA_SLAVE enabled.
   The price for this would be very small.
 o Delete historic changelog from comments, that's what SCM systems are

It turned out that it is almost impossible to trust ACPI, BIOS & Co.
regarding the C states. This was the reason to switch the local apic
timer off in C2 state already. OTOH there are sane and well behaving
systems, which get punished by that decision.

Allow the user to confirm that the local apic timer is trustworthy in C2
state. This keeps the default behaviour on the safe side.

Thomas Gleixner ad62ca2bd8 [PATCH] i386: disable local apic timer via command line or dmi quirk
The local APIC timer stops to work in deeper C-States.  This is handled by
the ACPI code and a broadcast mechanism in the clockevents / tick managment
code.

Some systems do not expose the deeper C-States to the kernel, but switch
into deeper C-States behind the kernels back.  This delays the local apic
timer interrupts for ever and makes the systems unusable.

Add a command line option to disable the local apic timer and a dmi
quirk for known broken systems.

Andi sayeth:

  While not wrong by itself i think it is still better to use some heuristic
  -- like "has battery in ACPI" With the DMI table if the problem is more wide
  spread we will just continue extending it.

  But anyways should be ok now for .21 although I'm not really happy with
  it.

Johannes Schlumberger 58e40308f3 [CRYPTO] doc: Fix typo in hash example
there is a tiny bug in Documentation/crypto/api-intro.txt.
The file has the following example code:

struct scatterlist sg[2];
[...]
if (crypto_hash_digest(&desc, &sg, 2, result))

which does not match the declaration of crypto_hash_digest() in
include/linux/crypto.h.

(static inline int crypto_hash_digest(struct hash_desc *desc,
	struct scatterlist *sg, unsigned int nbytes, u8 *out)

The code in the example passes the address of a pointer (an array actually) as
the second argument, while the function expects the pointer itself.

I have attached a patch to fix this.

David Brownell 28735a7253 [PATCH] gpio_direction_output() needs an initial value
It's been pointed out that output GPIOs should have an initial value, to
avoid signal glitching ...  among other things, it can be some time before
a driver is ready.  This patch corrects that oversight, fixing

 - documentation
 - platforms supporting the GPIO interface
 - users of that call (just one for now, others are pending)

There's only one user of this call for now since most platforms are still
using non-generic GPIO setup code, which in most cases already couples the
initial value with its "set output mode" request.

Note that most platforms are clear about the hardware letting the output
value be set before the pin direction is changed, but the s3c241x docs are
vague on that topic ...  so those chips might not avoid the glitches.

Greg Banks 42a7fc4a65 [PATCH] knfsd: provide sunrpc pool_mode module option
Provide a module param "pool_mode" for sunrpc.ko which allows a sysadmin to
choose the mode for mapping NFS thread service pools to CPUs.  Values are:

auto	    choose a mapping mode heuristically
global	    (default, same as the pre-2.6.19 code) a single global pool
percpu	    one pool per CPU
pernode	    one pool per NUMA node

Note that since 2.6.19 the hardcoded behaviour has been "auto", this patch
makes the default "global".

The pool mode can be changed after boot/modprobe using /sys, if the NFS and
lockd services have been shut down.  A useful side effect of this change is to
fix a small memory leak when unloading the module.

Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz 849138827c ide: make legacy IDE VLB modules check for the "probe" kernel params (v2)
Legacy IDE VLB host drivers didn't check for "probe" options when compiled
as modules, which was obviously wrong as we don't want module to poke at
random I/O ports by simply loading it.  Fix it by adding "probe" module param
to legacy IDE VLB host drivers.

v2:
* don't obsolete old "ide0=dtc2278/ht6560b/qd65xx/ali14xx/umc8672"
  IDE driver options yet (per Alan Cox's request) and enhance documentation

Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz b6209a90ec ide: remove some obsoleted kernel params (v2)
Remove

* "hdx=serialize"
* "idex=noautotune"
* "idex=autotune"

kernel params, they have been obsoleted for ages.

"idex=serialize", "hdx=noautotune" and "hdx=autotune" are still available
so there is no funcionality loss caused by this patch.

v2:

* fix CONFIG_BLK_DEV_4DRIVES=y build broken by version 1 of the patch

Ben Dooks 540988eb67 [ARM] 4238/1: S3C24XX: docs: update suspend and resume
Remove some of the explicit use of S3C2410 where
it is generic to all the S3C24XX series. Add more
info on the CRC code, and add an example of using
IRQ_EINT0 to resume from suspend
