Jaroslav Kysela fd7c519dd4 USB: hub.c: Add initial_descriptor_timeout module parameter for usbcore
This patch adds initial_descriptor_timeout module parameter for usbcore.ko
to allow modify initial 64-byte USB_REQ_GET_DESCRIPTOR timeout for
non-standard devices.

For example, the SATA8000 device from DATAST0R Technology Corp
requires about 10 seconds to send reply (probably it waits until
inserted disk is ready for operation).

Also, this patch adds missing usbcore parameters to
Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt.

Sarah Sharp 49e7cc84a8 USB: Export if an interface driver supports autosuspend.
Create a new sysfs file per interface named supports_autosuspend.  This
file returns true if an interface driver's .supports_autosuspend flag is
set.  It also returns true if the interface is unclaimed (since the USB
core will autosuspend a device if an interface is not claimed).

This new sysfs file will be useful for user space scripts to test whether
a USB device correctly auto-suspends.

Stephen Ware cbc30118d7 usb: vstusb.c : new driver for spectrometers used by Vernier Software & Technology, Inc.
This patch adds the vstusb driver to the drivers/usb/misc directory.
This driver provides support for Vernier Software & Technology
spectrometers, all made by Ocean Optics. The driver provides both IOCTL
and read()/write() methods for sending raw data to spectrometers across
the bulk channel. Each method allows for a configured timeout.

Jean Delvare 4ed1077953 hwmon: (it87) Fix thermal sensor type values
The it87 driver doesn't follow the standard sensor type values as
documented in Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface. It uses value 2 for
thermistors instead of value 4. This causes "sensors" to tell the user
that the chip is setup for a transistor while it is actually setup for
a thermistor.

Using value 4 for thermistors solves the problem. For compatibility
reasons, we still accept value 2 but emit a warning message so that
users update their configuration files.

Phil Endecott 3f7a26b4b9 intelfb: support 945GME (as used in ASUS Eee 901)
Add support for Intel's 945GME graphics chip to the intelfb driver.  I
have assumed that the 945GME is identical to the already-supported 945GM
apart from its PCI IDs; this is based on a quick look at the X driver for
these chips which seems to treat them identically.

The 945GME is used in the ASUS Eee 901, and I coded this in the hope that
I'd be able to use it to get a console at the native 1024x600 resolution
which is not known to the BIOS.  I realised too late that the intelfb
driver does not support mode changing on laptops, so it won't be any
use for me.

Dave Hansen 22b8ce9470 profiling: dynamically enable readprofile at runtime
Way too often, I have a machine that exhibits some kind of crappy
behavior.  The CPU looks wedged in the kernel or it is spending way too
much system time and I wonder what is responsible.

I try to run readprofile.  But, of course, Ubuntu doesn't enable it by
default.  Dang!

The reason we boot-time enable it is that it takes a big bufffer that we
generally can only bootmem alloc.  But, does it hurt to at least try and
runtime-alloc it?

To use:
echo 2 > /sys/kernel/profile

Then run readprofile like normal.

This should fix the compile issue with allmodconfig.  I've compile-tested
on a bunch more configs now including a few more architectures.

Bjorn Helgaas c80cfb0406 vsprintf: use new vsprintf symbolic function pointer format
Use the '%pF' format to get rid of an "#ifdef DEBUG" and make some printks
atomic.

This removes the last in-tree uses of print_fn_descriptor_symbol().  I
marked print_fn_descriptor_symbol() deprecated and scheduled it for
removal next year to give time for out-of-tree modules to be updated.

parisc's print_fn_descriptor_symbol() is currently broken there (it needs
to dereference the function pointer similar to ia64 and power).  This
patch shouldn't make anything worse, but it means we need to fix
dereference_function_descriptor() instead of print_fn_descriptor_symbol()
to get meaningful initcall_debug output.

Frans Pop b25f29b0da pm: document use of RTC in pm_trace
As pm_trace uses the system's hardware clock to save its magic value,
users of that option should be warned that using this debug option will
result in an incorrect system time after resume.
