Adrian Bunk 2b666859ec x86: Default to vsyscall=native for now
This UML breakage:

  linux-2.6.30.1[3800] vsyscall fault (exploit attempt?) ip:ffffffffff600000 cs:33 sp:7fbfb9c498 ax:ffffffffff600000 si:0 di:606790
  linux-2.6.30.1[3856] vsyscall fault (exploit attempt?) ip:ffffffffff600000 cs:33 sp:7fbfb13168 ax:ffffffffff600000 si:0 di:606790

Is caused by commit 3ae36655 ("x86-64: Rework vsyscall emulation and add
vsyscall= parameter") - the vsyscall emulation code is not fully cooked
yet as UML relies on some rather fragile SIGSEGV semantics.

Linus suggested in https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/8/9/376 to default
to vsyscall=native for now, this patch implements that.

Guenter Roeck f4af6fd6e2 hwmon: (coretemp) Don't use threshold registers for tempX_max
With commit c814a4c7c4, the meaning of tempX_max
was changed. It no longer returns the value of bits 8:15 of
MSR_IA32_TEMPERATURE_TARGET, but instead returns the value of CPU threshold
register T1. tempX_max_hyst was added to reflect the value of temperature
threshold register T0.

As it turns out, T0 and T1 are used on some systems, presumably by the BIOS.
Also, T0 and T1 don't have a well defined meaning. The thresholds may be used
as upper or lower limits, and it is not guaranteed that T0 <= T1. Thus, the new
attribute mapping does not reflect the actual usage of the threshold registers.
Also, register contents are changed during runtime by an entity other than the
hwmon driver, meaning the values cached by the driver do not reflect actual
register contents.

Revert most of c814a4c7c4 to address the problem.
Support for T0 and T1 will be added back in with a separate commit, using new
attribute names.

Jean Delvare a45a8c8571 hwmon: (coretemp) Let the user force TjMax
On old CPUs (and even some recent Atom CPUs) TjMax can't be read from
the CPU registers, so it is guessed by the driver using a complex
heuristic which isn't reliable. So let users who know their CPU's
TjMax pass it as a module parameter.

Johannes Weiner 185efc0f9a memcg: Revert "memcg: add memory.vmscan_stat"
Revert the post-3.0 commit 82f9d486e5 ("memcg: add
memory.vmscan_stat").

The implementation of per-memcg reclaim statistics violates how memcg
hierarchies usually behave: hierarchically.

The reclaim statistics are accounted to child memcgs and the parent
hitting the limit, but not to hierarchy levels in between.  Usually,
hierarchical statistics are perfectly recursive, with each level
representing the sum of itself and all its children.

Since this exports statistics to userspace, this may lead to confusion
and problems with changing things after the release, so revert it now,
we can try again later.

Rusty Russell e22a539824 lguest: allow booting guest with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y
The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE code tries to align the unpack destination to
the value of 'kernel_alignment' in the setup_hdr.  If that's 0, it
tries to unpack to address 0, which in fact causes the gunzip code
to call 'error("Out of memory while allocating output buffer")'.

The bootloader (ie. the lguest Launcher in this case) should be doing
setting this field; the normal bzImage is 16M, we can use the same.

Andy Lutomirski 3ae36655b9 x86-64: Rework vsyscall emulation and add vsyscall= parameter
There are three choices:

vsyscall=native: Vsyscalls are native code that issues the
corresponding syscalls.

vsyscall=emulate (default): Vsyscalls are emulated by instruction
fault traps, tested in the bad_area path.  The actual contents of
the vsyscall page is the same as the vsyscall=native case except
that it's marked NX.  This way programs that make assumptions about
what the code in the page does will not be confused when they read
that code.

vsyscall=none: Trying to execute a vsyscall will segfault.

Commit 655f8919d5
    bonding: add min links parameter to 802.3ad

and commit ebd8e4977a
    bonding: add all_slaves_active parameter

introduced new options to bonding, but didn't provide the documentation
for those options.

V2: add the default value for both options.
V3: document the exact behavior of min_links default value.

Josh Triplett 6f76b6fcaa CodingStyle: Document the exception of not splitting user-visible strings, for grepping
Patch reviewers now recommend not splitting long user-visible strings,
such as printk messages, even if they exceed 80 columns.  This avoids
breaking grep.  However, that recommendation did not actually appear
anywhere in Documentation/CodingStyle.

See, for example, the thread at
  http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3c1312215262.11635.15.camel%40Joe%2dLaptop%3e

Kevin Hilman 02b26774af PM / Runtime: Allow _put_sync() from interrupts-disabled context
Currently the use of pm_runtime_put_sync() is not safe from
interrupts-disabled context because rpm_idle() will release the
spinlock and enable interrupts for the idle callbacks.  This enables
interrupts during a time where interrupts were expected to be
disabled, and can have strange side effects on drivers that expected
interrupts to be disabled.

This is not a bug since the documentation clearly states that only
_put_sync_suspend() is safe in IRQ-safe mode.

However, pm_runtime_put_sync() could be made safe when in IRQ-safe
mode by releasing the spinlock but not re-enabling interrupts, which
is what this patch aims to do.

Problem was found when using some buggy drivers that set
pm_runtime_irq_safe() and used _put_sync() in interrupts-disabled
context.
