6a479079c0 PCI: Add pci_clear_master() as opposite of pci_set_master()
During an online device reset it may be useful to disable bus-mastering.
pci_disable_device() does that, and far more besides, so is not suitable
for an online reset.

Add pci_clear_master() which does just this.

e8de1481fd resource: allow MMIO exclusivity for device drivers
Device drivers that use pci_request_regions() (and similar APIs) have a
reasonable expectation that they are the only ones accessing their device.
As part of the e1000e hunt, we were afraid that some userland (X or some
bootsplash stuff) was mapping the MMIO region that the driver thought it
had exclusively via /dev/mem or via various sysfs resource mappings.

This patch adds the option for device drivers to cause their reserved
regions to the "banned from /dev/mem use" list, so now both kernel memory
and device-exclusive MMIO regions are banned.
NOTE: This is only active when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is set.

In addition to the config option, a kernel parameter iomem=relaxed is
provided for the cases where developers want to diagnose, in the field,
drivers issues from userspace.

3e91029ae0 i2400m: documentation and instructions for usage
The driver for the i2400m is a stacked driver. There is a core driver,
the bus-generic driver that has no knowledge or dependencies on how
the device is connected to the system; it only knows how to speak the
device protocol. Then there are the bus-specific drivers (for USB and
SDIO) that provide backends for the generic driver to communicate with
the device.

The bus generic driver connects to the network and WiMAX stacks on the
top side, and on the bottom to the bus-specific drivers.

d4f373e57d USB: usb-storage: add "quirks=" module parameter
This patch (as1163b) adds a "quirks=" module parameter to usb-storage.
This will allow people to make short-term changes to their
unusual_devs list without rebuilding the entire driver.  Testing will
become much easier, and less-sophisticated users will be able to
access their buggy devices after a simple config-file change instead
of having to wait for a new kernel release.

The patch also adds a documentation entry for usb-storage's
"delay_use" parameter, which has been around for years but but was
never listed among the kernel parameters.

4cb0e11b15 coredump_filter: permit changing of the default filter
Introduce a new kernel parameter `coredump_filter'.  Setting a value to
this parameter causes the default bitmask of coredump_filter to be
changed.

It is useful for users to change coredump_filter settings for the whole
system at boot time.  Without this parameter, users have to change
coredump_filter settings for each /proc/<pid>/ in an initializing script.

e8386a0cb2 kprobes: support probing module __exit function
Allows kprobes to probe __exit routine.  This adds flags member to struct
kprobe.  When module is freed(kprobes hooks module_notifier to get this
event), kprobes which probe the functions in that module are set to "Gone"
flag to the flags member.  These "Gone" probes are never be enabled.
Users can check the GONE flag through debugfs.

This also removes mod_refcounted, because we couldn't free a module if
kprobe incremented the refcount of that module.

89fac11cb3 adt7470: make automatic fan control really work
It turns out that the adt7470's automatic fan control algorithm only works
when the temperature sensors get updated.  This in turn happens only when
someone tells the chip to read its temperature sensors.  Regrettably, this
means that we have to drive the chip periodically.

5f820f648c poll: allow f_op->poll to sleep
f_op->poll is the only vfs operation which is not allowed to sleep.  It's
because poll and select implementation used task state to synchronize
against wake ups, which doesn't have to be the case anymore as wait/wake
interface can now use custom wake up functions.  The non-sleep restriction
can be a bit tricky because ->poll is not called from an atomic context
and the result of accidentally sleeping in ->poll only shows up as
temporary busy looping when the timing is right or rather wrong.

This patch converts poll/select to use custom wake up function and use
separate triggered variable to synchronize against wake up events.  The
only added overhead is an extra function call during wake up and
negligible.

This patch removes the one non-sleep exception from vfs locking rules and
is beneficial to userland filesystem implementations like FUSE, 9p or
peculiar fs like spufs as it's very difficult for those to implement
non-sleeping poll method.

While at it, make the following cosmetic changes to make poll.h and
select.c checkpatch friendly.

* s/type * symbol/type *symbol/		   : three places in poll.h
* remove blank line before EXPORT_SYMBOL() : two places in select.c

Oleg: spotted missing barrier in poll_schedule_timeout()
Davide: spotted missing write barrier in pollwake()

63d6c5ad7f mm: remove try_to_munlock from vmscan
An unfortunate feature of the Unevictable LRU work was that reclaiming an
anonymous page involved an extra scan through the anon_vma: to check that
the page is evictable before allocating swap, because the swap could not
be freed reliably soon afterwards.

Now try_to_free_swap() has replaced remove_exclusive_swap_page(), that's
not an issue any more: remove try_to_munlock() call from
shrink_page_list(), leaving it to try_to_munmap() to discover if the page
is one to be culled to the unevictable list - in which case then
try_to_free_swap().

Update unevictable-lru.txt to remove comments on the try_to_munlock() in
shrink_page_list(), and shorten some lines over 80 columns.

2da02997e0 mm: add dirty_background_bytes and dirty_bytes sysctls
This change introduces two new sysctls to /proc/sys/vm:
dirty_background_bytes and dirty_bytes.

dirty_background_bytes is the counterpart to dirty_background_ratio and
dirty_bytes is the counterpart to dirty_ratio.

With growing memory capacities of individual machines, it's no longer
sufficient to specify dirty thresholds as a percentage of the amount of
dirtyable memory over the entire system.

dirty_background_bytes and dirty_bytes specify quantities of memory, in
bytes, that represent the dirty limits for the entire system.  If either
of these values is set, its value represents the amount of dirty memory
that is needed to commence either background or direct writeback.

When a `bytes' or `ratio' file is written, its counterpart becomes a
function of the written value.  For example, if dirty_bytes is written to
be 8096, 8K of memory is required to commence direct writeback.
dirty_ratio is then functionally equivalent to 8K / the amount of
dirtyable memory:

	dirtyable_memory = free pages + mapped pages + file cache

	dirty_background_bytes = dirty_background_ratio * dirtyable_memory
		-or-
	dirty_background_ratio = dirty_background_bytes / dirtyable_memory

		AND

	dirty_bytes = dirty_ratio * dirtyable_memory
		-or-
	dirty_ratio = dirty_bytes / dirtyable_memory

Only one of dirty_background_bytes and dirty_background_ratio may be
specified at a time, and only one of dirty_bytes and dirty_ratio may be
specified.  When one sysctl is written, the other appears as 0 when read.

The `bytes' files operate on a page size granularity since dirty limits
are compared with ZVC values, which are in page units.

Prior to this change, the minimum dirty_ratio was 5 as implemented by
get_dirty_limits() although /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio would show any user
written value between 0 and 100.  This restriction is maintained, but
dirty_bytes has a lower limit of only one page.

Also prior to this change, the dirty_background_ratio could not equal or
exceed dirty_ratio.  This restriction is maintained in addition to
restricting dirty_background_bytes.  If either background threshold equals
or exceeds that of the dirty threshold, it is implicitly set to half the
dirty threshold.

c04fc586c1 mm: show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs
Show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs

Add /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memoryY symlinks for all
the memory sections located on nodeX.  For example:
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135
indicates that memory section 135 resides on node1.

Also revises documentation to cover this change as well as updating
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-memory to include descriptions
of memory hotremove files 'phys_device', 'phys_index', and 'state'
that were previously not described there.

In addition to it always being a good policy to provide users with
the maximum possible amount of physical location information for
resources that can be hot-added and/or hot-removed, the following
are some (but likely not all) of the user benefits provided by
this change.
Immediate:
  - Provides information needed to determine the specific node
    on which a defective DIMM is located.  This will reduce system
    downtime when the node or defective DIMM is swapped out.
  - Prevents unintended onlining of a memory section that was
    previously offlined due to a defective DIMM.  This could happen
    during node hot-add when the user or node hot-add assist script
    onlines _all_ offlined sections due to user or script inability
    to identify the specific memory sections located on the hot-added
    node.  The consequences of reintroducing the defective memory
    could be ugly.
  - Provides information needed to vary the amount and distribution
    of memory on specific nodes for testing or debugging purposes.
Future:
  - Will provide information needed to identify the memory
    sections that need to be offlined prior to physical removal
    of a specific node.

Symlink creation during boot was tested on 2-node x86_64, 2-node
ppc64, and 2-node ia64 systems.  Symlink creation during physical
memory hot-add tested on a 2-node x86_64 system.
