memcg: get rid of swapaccount leftovers

2013-08-23T16:51:22Z

The swapaccount kernel parameter without any values has been removed by commit a2c8990aed5a ("memsw: remove noswapaccount kernel parameter") but it seems that we didn't get rid of all the left overs. Make sure that menuconfig help text and kernel-parameters.txt are clear about value for the paramter and remove the stalled comment which is not very much useful on its own.

slub: Make cpu partial slab support configurable

2013-07-07T16:09:56Z

CPU partial support can introduce level of indeterminism that is not wanted in certain context (like a realtime kernel). Make it configurable. This patch is based on Christoph Lameter's "slub: Make cpu partial slab support configurable V2". Acked-by: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Joonsoo Kim Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg

Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner: "The timer changes contain: - posix timer code consolidation and fixes for odd corner cases - sched_clock implementation moved from ARM to core code to avoid duplication by other architectures - alarm timer updates - clocksource and clockevents unregistration facilities - clocksource/events support for new hardware - precise nanoseconds RTC readout (Xen feature) - generic support for Xen suspend/resume oddities - the usual lot of fixes and cleanups all over the place The parts which touch other areas (ARM/XEN) have been coordinated with the relevant maintainers. Though this results in an handful of trivial to solve merge conflicts, which we preferred over nasty cross tree merge dependencies.

build some drivers only when compile-testing

2013-06-24T23:41:32Z

Some drivers can be built on more platforms than they run on. This is a burden for users and distributors who package a kernel. They have to manually deselect some (for them useless) drivers when updating their configs via oldconfig. And yet, sometimes it is even impossible to disable the drivers without patching the kernel. Introduce a new config option COMPILE_TEST and make all those drivers to depend on the platform they run on, or on the COMPILE_TEST option. Now, when users/distributors choose COMPILE_TEST=n they will not have the drivers in their allmodconfig setups, but developers still can compile-test them with COMPILE_TEST=y. Now the drivers where we use this new option: * PTP_1588_CLOCK_PCH: The PCH EG20T is only compatible with Intel Atom processors so it should depend on x86. * FB_GEODE: Geode is 32-bit only so only enable it for X86_32. * USB_CHIPIDEA_IMX: The OF_DEVICE dependency will be met on powerpc systems -- which do not actually support the hardware via that method. * INTEL_MID_PTI: It is specific to the Penwell type of Intel Atom device.
