Randy Dunlap 39d709392f docbook: skip files with no docs since they generate scary warnings
Fix docbook templates that reference files that do not contain the
expected kernel-doc notation.

Fixes these warnings:

  Warning(arch/x86/include/asm/unaligned.h): no structured comments found
  Warning(lib/vsprintf.c): no structured comments found

These cause errors in the generated html output, like below, so drop
these lines.

  Name
  arch/x86/include/asm/unaligned.h - Document generation inconsistency
  Oops
  Warning
  The template for this document tried to insert the structured comment from the file arch/x86/include/asm/unaligned.h at this point, but none was found. This dummy section is inserted to allow generation to continue.

Johannes Berg eda603f6cd docbook: warn on unused doc entries
When you don't use !E or !I but only !F, then it's very easy to miss
including some functions, structs etc.  in documentation.  To help
finding which ones were missed, allow printing out the unused ones as
warnings.

For example, using this on mac80211 yields a lot of warnings like this:

  Warning: didn't use docs for DOC: mac80211 workqueue
  Warning: didn't use docs for ieee80211_max_queues
  Warning: didn't use docs for ieee80211_bss_change
  Warning: didn't use docs for ieee80211_bss_conf

when generating the documentation for it.

Rafael J. Wysocki 28eb5f274a PCI: PCIe: Ask BIOS for control of all native services at once
After commit 852972acff (ACPI: Disable
ASPM if the platform won't provide _OSC control for PCIe) control of
the PCIe Capability Structure is unconditionally requested by
acpi_pci_root_add(), which in principle may cause problems to
happen in two ways.  First, the BIOS may refuse to give control of
the PCIe Capability Structure if it is not asked for any of the
_OSC features depending on it at the same time.  Second, the BIOS may
assume that control of the _OSC features depending on the PCIe
Capability Structure will be requested in the future and may behave
incorrectly if that doesn't happen.  For this reason, control of
the PCIe Capability Structure should always be requested along with
control of any other _OSC features that may depend on it (ie. PCIe
native PME, PCIe native hot-plug, PCIe AER).

Rework the PCIe port driver so that (1) it checks which native PCIe
port services can be enabled, according to the BIOS, and (2) it
requests control of all these services simultaneously.  In
particular, this causes pcie_portdrv_probe() to fail if the BIOS
refuses to grant control of the PCIe Capability Structure, which
means that no native PCIe port services can be enabled for the PCIe
Root Complex the given port belongs to.  If that happens, ASPM is
disabled to avoid problems with mishandling it by the part of the
PCIe hierarchy for which control of the PCIe Capability Structure
has not been received.

Make it possible to override this behavior using 'pcie_ports=native'
(use the PCIe native services regardless of the BIOS response to the
control request), or 'pcie_ports=compat' (do not use the PCIe native
services at all).

Accordingly, rework the existing PCIe port service drivers so that
they don't request control of the services directly.

Alok Kataria 9863c90f68 x86, vmware: Remove deprecated VMI kernel support
With the recent innovations in CPU hardware acceleration technologies
from Intel and AMD, VMware ran a few experiments to compare these
techniques to guest paravirtualization technique on VMware's platform.
These hardware assisted virtualization techniques have outperformed the
performance benefits provided by VMI in most of the workloads. VMware
expects that these hardware features will be ubiquitous in a couple of
years, as a result, VMware has started a phased retirement of this
feature from the hypervisor.

Please note that VMI has always been an optimization and non-VMI kernels
still work fine on VMware's platform.
Latest versions of VMware's product which support VMI are,
Workstation 7.0 and VSphere 4.0 on ESX side, future maintainence
releases for these products will continue supporting VMI.

For more details about VMI retirement take a look at this,
http://blogs.vmware.com/guestosguide/2009/09/vmi-retirement.html

This feature removal was scheduled for 2.6.37 back in September 2009.

Ian Campbell 1dc7ce99b0 xen: pvhvm: rename xen_emul_unplug=ignore to =unnnecessary
It is not immediately clear what this option causes to become
ignored. The actual meaning is that it is not necessary to unplug the
emulated devices to safely use the PV ones, even if the platform does
not support the unplug protocol. (pressumably the user will only add
this option if they have ensured that their domain configuration is
safe).

I think xen_emul_unplug=unnecessary better captures this.

Stefan Richter 1ee4168057 Documentation: kernel-locking: mutex_trylock cannot be used in interrupt context
Chapter 6 is right about mutex_trylock, but chapter 10 wasn't.  This error
was introduced during semaphore-to-mutex conversion of the Unreliable
guide.  :-)

If user context which performs mutex_lock() or mutex_trylock() is
preempted by interrupt context which performs mutex_trylock() on the same
mutex instance, a deadlock occurs.  This is because these functions do not
disable local IRQs when they operate on mutex->wait_lock.

Add support for exposing all GPIO pins as analog voltages. Though this is
not an ideal use of the chip, some hardware engineers may decide that the
LTC4245 meets their design requirements when studying the datasheet.

The GPIO pins are sampled in round-robin fashion, meaning that a slow
reader will see stale data. A userspace application can detect this,
because it will get -EAGAIN when reading from a sysfs file which contains
stale data.

Users can choose to use this feature on a per-chip basis by using either
platform data or the OF device tree (where applicable).

Adrian Hunter dfe86cba76 mmc: add erase, secure erase, trim and secure trim operations
SD/MMC cards tend to support an erase operation.  In addition, eMMC v4.4
cards can support secure erase, trim and secure trim operations that are
all variants of the basic erase command.

SD/MMC device attributes "erase_size" and "preferred_erase_size" have been
added.

"erase_size" is the minimum size, in bytes, of an erase operation.  For
MMC, "erase_size" is the erase group size reported by the card.  Note that
"erase_size" does not apply to trim or secure trim operations where the
minimum size is always one 512 byte sector.  For SD, "erase_size" is 512
if the card is block-addressed, 0 otherwise.

SD/MMC cards can erase an arbitrarily large area up to and
including the whole card.  When erasing a large area it may
be desirable to do it in smaller chunks for three reasons:

    1. A single erase command will make all other I/O on the card
       wait.  This is not a problem if the whole card is being erased, but
       erasing one partition will make I/O for another partition on the
       same card wait for the duration of the erase - which could be a
       several minutes.

    2. To be able to inform the user of erase progress.

    3. The erase timeout becomes too large to be very useful.
       Because the erase timeout contains a margin which is multiplied by
       the size of the erase area, the value can end up being several
       minutes for large areas.

"erase_size" is not the most efficient unit to erase (especially for SD
where it is just one sector), hence "preferred_erase_size" provides a good
chunk size for erasing large areas.

For MMC, "preferred_erase_size" is the high-capacity erase size if a card
specifies one, otherwise it is based on the capacity of the card.

For SD, "preferred_erase_size" is the allocation unit size specified by
the card.

"preferred_erase_size" is in bytes.

TAMUKI Shoichi c7ff0d9c92 panic: keep blinking in spite of long spin timer mode
To keep panic_timeout accuracy when running under a hypervisor, the
current implementation only spins on long time (1 second) calls to mdelay.
 That brings a good effect, but the problem is the keyboard LEDs don't
blink at all on that situation.

This patch changes to call to panic_blink_enter() between every mdelay and
keeps blinking in spite of long spin timer mode.

The time to call to mdelay is now 100ms.  Even this change will keep
panic_timeout accuracy enough when running under a hypervisor.

FUJITA Tomonori 3b9c6c11f5 dma-mapping: remove dma_is_consistent API
Architectures implement dma_is_consistent() in different ways (some
misinterpret the definition of API in DMA-API.txt).  So it hasn't been so
useful for drivers.  We have only one user of the API in tree.  Unlikely
out-of-tree drivers use the API.

Even if we fix dma_is_consistent() in some architectures, it doesn't look
useful at all.  It was invented long ago for some old systems that can't
allocate coherent memory at all.  It's better to export only APIs that are
definitely necessary for drivers.

Let's remove this API.

Andy Shevchenko a93917d39f USB: gadget: storage: optional SCSI WRITE FUA bit
MS Windows mounts removable storage in "Removal optimized mode" by
default. All the writes to the media are synchronous which is achieved
by setting FUA (Force Unit Access) bit in SCSI WRITE(10,12) commands.
This prevents I/O requests aggregation in block layer dramatically
decreasing performance.

This patch brings an option to accept or ignore mentioned bit
 a) via specifying module parameter "nofua", or
 b) through sysfs entry
	/sys/devices/platform/_UDC_/gadget/gadget-lunX/nofua
	(_UDC_ is the name of the USB Device Controller driver)

Patch is based on the work that was done by Denis Karpov for Maemo 5
platform.

 * Fan/pwm control is the same as for F71889FG
 * Temperature and voltage sensor handling is largely the same as for

  - Has one temperature sensor less (doesn't have temp3)
  - Misses one voltage sensor (doesn't have V6, thus in6_input refers to
    what in7_input refers for F71889FG)

For the purpose of the sysfs interface fxxxx_in_temp_attr[] is split up
such that it can largely be reused.

Christoph Mair 5bf1d290b5 drivers/misc: support for the pressure sensor BMP085 from Bosch Sensortec
This driver adds support for the BMP085 digital pressure sensor from Bosch
Sensortec.  It exposes a sysfs api to userspace where pressure and
temperature measurement results can be read from the pressure0_input and
temp0_input file.  The chip is able to calculate the average of up to
eight samples to increase the accuracy.  This feature can be controlled by
writing to the oversampling file.

The BMP085 digital pressure sensor can measure ambient air pressure and
temperature.  Both values can be obtained from sysfs files.  The pressure
is measured by reading from pressure0_input.  Valid values range from
30000 to 110000 pascal with a resolution of 1 pascal (=0.01 millibar).

temp0_input holds the current temperature in degree celsius, multiplied by
10.  This results in a resolution of a tenth degree celsius.  Values range
from -400 to 850.

To increase the accuracy, this chip can calculate the average of 1, 2, 4
or 8 samples.  This behavior is controlled through the oversampling sysfs
file.  Two to the power of the value written to that file specifies how
many samples will be used.  Valid values: 0..3.

David Rientjes a63d83f427 oom: badness heuristic rewrite
This a complete rewrite of the oom killer's badness() heuristic which is
used to determine which task to kill in oom conditions.  The goal is to
make it as simple and predictable as possible so the results are better
understood and we end up killing the task which will lead to the most
memory freeing while still respecting the fine-tuning from userspace.

Instead of basing the heuristic on mm->total_vm for each task, the task's
rss and swap space is used instead.  This is a better indication of the
amount of memory that will be freeable if the oom killed task is chosen
and subsequently exits.  This helps specifically in cases where KDE or
GNOME is chosen for oom kill on desktop systems instead of a memory
hogging task.

The baseline for the heuristic is a proportion of memory that each task is
currently using in memory plus swap compared to the amount of "allowable"
memory.  "Allowable," in this sense, means the system-wide resources for
unconstrained oom conditions, the set of mempolicy nodes, the mems
attached to current's cpuset, or a memory controller's limit.  The
proportion is given on a scale of 0 (never kill) to 1000 (always kill),
roughly meaning that if a task has a badness() score of 500 that the task
consumes approximately 50% of allowable memory resident in RAM or in swap
space.

The proportion is always relative to the amount of "allowable" memory and
not the total amount of RAM systemwide so that mempolicies and cpusets may
operate in isolation; they shall not need to know the true size of the
machine on which they are running if they are bound to a specific set of
nodes or mems, respectively.

Root tasks are given 3% extra memory just like __vm_enough_memory()
provides in LSMs.  In the event of two tasks consuming similar amounts of
memory, it is generally better to save root's task.

Because of the change in the badness() heuristic's baseline, it is also
necessary to introduce a new user interface to tune it.  It's not possible
to redefine the meaning of /proc/pid/oom_adj with a new scale since the
ABI cannot be changed for backward compatability.  Instead, a new tunable,
/proc/pid/oom_score_adj, is added that ranges from -1000 to +1000.  It may
be used to polarize the heuristic such that certain tasks are never
considered for oom kill while others may always be considered.  The value
is added directly into the badness() score so a value of -500, for
example, means to discount 50% of its memory consumption in comparison to
other tasks either on the system, bound to the mempolicy, in the cpuset,
or sharing the same memory controller.

/proc/pid/oom_adj is changed so that its meaning is rescaled into the
units used by /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, and vice versa.  Changing one of
these per-task tunables will rescale the value of the other to an
equivalent meaning.  Although /proc/pid/oom_adj was originally defined as
a bitshift on the badness score, it now shares the same linear growth as
/proc/pid/oom_score_adj but with different granularity.  This is required
