955eff5acc [PATCH] fs: fix libfs data leak
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.

e03abc0c96 9p: implement optional loose read cache
While cacheing is generally frowned upon in the 9p world, it has its
place -- particularly in situations where the remote file system is
exclusive and/or read-only.  The vacfs views of venti content addressable
store are a real-world instance of such a situation.  To facilitate higher
performance for these workloads (and eventually use the fscache patches),
we have enabled a "loose" cache mode which does not attempt to maintain
any form of consistency on the page-cache or dcache.  This results in over
two orders of magnitude performance improvement for cacheable block reads
in the Bonnie benchmark.  The more aggressive use of the dcache also seems
to improve metadata operational performance.

26ba05e4c6 PCI: pci.txt fix __devexit() usage
Marin Mitov <mitov@issp.bas.bg> spotted a brainfart where I had
failed to update copied text with *_remove and __devexit().

Marin made a good comment in his email to me:
| mydriver_probe() is _always_ executed, while mydriver_remove() is not.
| See: include/linux/init.h

Which says:
/* Functions marked as __devexit may be discarded at kernel link time, depending
   on config options.  Newer versions of binutils detect references from
   retained sections to discarded sections and flag an error.  Pointers to
   __devexit functions must use __devexit_p(function_name), the wrapper will
   insert either the function_name or NULL, depending on the config options.

0c6022d453 [ARM] 4177/1: S3C24XX: Add DMA channel allocation order
Allow the CPU code, and any board specific initialisation
code to change the allocation order of the DMA channels,
or stop a peripheral allocating any DMA at-all.

This is due to the scarce mapping of DMA channels on
some earlier S3C24XX cpus, where the selection changes
depending on the channel in use.

55249cf750 i2c-parport: Add support for One For All remote JP1 interface
This simple patch adds support to i2c-parport for the One For All remote
JP1 parallel port interfaces which can be found detailed at:

http://www.hifi-remote.com/jp1/hardware.shtml

These allow access to the internal configuration EEPROM on various
remote controls and there are a variety of Windows tools that make use
of this hardware. I have tested this patch with the "simple" parallel
port device and a One For All URC-7562 and confirmed that the data read
using the eeprom i2c driver matches that returned by the Windows "IR"
JP1 tool.

f37dd80ac2 i2c: Add driver suspend/resume/shutdown support
Driver model updates for the I2C core:

 - Add new suspend(), resume(), and shutdown() methods.  Use them in the
   standard driver model style; document them.

 - Minor doc updates to highlight zero-initialized fields in drivers, and
   the driver model accessors for "clientdata".

If any i2c drivers were previously using the old suspend/resume calls
in "struct driver", they were getting warning messages ... and will
now no longer work.  Other than that, this patch changes no behaviors;
and it lets I2C drivers use conventional PM and shutdown support.

Add the "code_bytes" option for this.

a98f0dd34d [PATCH] x86-64: Allow to run a program when a machine check event is detected
When a machine check event is detected (including a AMD RevF threshold
overflow event) allow to run a "trigger" program. This allows user space
to react to such events sooner.

The trigger is configured using a new trigger entry in the
machinecheck sysfs interface. It is currently shared between
all CPUs.

I also fixed the AMD threshold handler to run the machine
check polling code immediately to actually log any events
that might have caused the threshold interrupt.

Also added some documentation for the mce sysfs interface.
