Update the brightness sysfs interface (done through the backlight class) to

This renames the incorrect, un-obvious, and clash-prone name of "ibm" for

"thinkpad_screen".  This is something I wanted to do for quite a while...

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh fe98a52ce7 ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add sysfs support to fan subdriver
Export sysfs attributes to monitor and control the internal thinkpad fan
(some thinkpads have more than one fan, but thinkpad-acpi doesn't support
the second fan yet).  The sysfs interface follows the hwmon design guide
for fan devices.

Also, fix some stray "thermal" files in the fan procfs description that
have been there forever, and officially support "full-speed" as the name
for the PWM-disabled state of the fan controller to keep it in line with
the hwmon interface.  It is much better a name for that mode than the
unobvious "disengaged" anyway.  Change the procfs interface to also accept
full-speed as a fan level, but still report it as disengaged for backwards
compatibility.

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh 2c37aa4e22 ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add sysfs support to the thermal subdriver
Export thinkpad thermal sensors to sysfs, following the hwmon
specification for thermal monitoring sensors.

ThinkPad thermal monitoring is done by the EC.  Sensors can show up or
disappear at runtime when they are inside hotswappable hardware, such as
batteries.  Sensors that are not available return -ENXIO when accessed.

Up to 16 thermal sensors are supported on new firmware (but nobody has
reported a ThinkPad with more than 12 sensors so far), and 8 sensors are
supported on older firmware.  Thermal sensor mapping is model-specific.
Precision varies, it is 1 degree Celcius on new ThinkPads, but higher on
some older models.

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.

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.

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh f21f85de4b ACPI: ibm-acpi: rename driver to thinkpad-acpi
Rename the ibm-acpi driver to thinkpad-acpi.  ThinkPads are not even made
by IBM anymore, so it is high time to rename the driver...

The name thinkpad-acpi was used sometime ago by a thinkpad-specific hotkey
driver by Erik Rigtorp, around the 2.6.8-2.6.10 time frame.  The driver
apparently never got merged into mainline (it did make some trips through
-mm).  ibm-acpi was merged soon after, making its debut in 2.6.10.

The reuse of the thinkpad-acpi name shouldn't be a problem as far as user
confusion goes, as Erik's thinkpad-acpi apparently didn't get widespread
use in the Linux ThinkPad community and most hits for thinkpad-acpi in
google point to ibm-acpi anyway.

Erik, if you read this, please consider the reuse of the thinkpad-acpi name
as a compliment to your effort to make ThinkPads more useful to all of us.

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.

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.

David Gibson 0e0293c898 [POWERPC] Update documentation for flat device tree format v17
This patch updates booting-without-of.txt to describe version 17 of
the flattened device tree format.  Version 17 is a small, backwards
compatible change from version 16, adding an extra field giving the
size of the device tree's structure block.  At this time, the kernel
has no use for the extra information, however its presence can make
life easier for bootloaders or other software manipulating the tree.

In addition this patch adds information on the size_dt_strings field
of the device tree header, present since version 3 of the flattened
tree format, but omitted from the documentation.  It also makes
changes to consistently refer to versions 16 and 17 as versions 16 and
17 in decimal, rather than version 0x10 which was occasionally used
for version 16 previously.

Finally, we also add the new field to the definition of the device
tree header structure in prom.h

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.

The removal schedule is tight but there are no users of the code, the main

will be able to prevent the system from autosuspending devices which
for some reason can't handle it.

The patch also stores the autosuspend delay as a per-device value.  A
later patch will allow the user to change the value, tailoring the
delay for each individual device.  A delay value of 0 will prevent
autosuspend.

simple_prepare_write leaks uninitialised kernel data.  This happens because
the it leaves an uninitialised "hole" over the part of the page that the
write is expected to go to.  This is fine, but it then marks the page
uptodate, which means a concurrent read can come in and copy the
uninitialised memory into userspace before it written to.

Fix it by simply marking it uptodate in simple_commit_write instead, after
the hole has been filled in.  This could theoretically break an fs that
uses simple_prepare_write and not simple_commit_write, and that relies on
the incorrect simple_prepare_write behaviour.  Luckily, none of those
exists in the tree.
