Make timer-stats have almost zero overhead when enabled in the config but
not used. (this way distros can enable it more easily)
Also update the documentation about overhead of timer_stats - it was
written for the first version which had a global lock and a linear list
walk based lookup ;-)
Andrew says:
And this. Not a bugfix, but trivial and obvious and apparently some
distros don't want to enable timer_stats because of the performance
issue, but powertop uses timer_stats.
Ingo replies:
seconded. I have tested this with and without CONFIG_TIMER_STATS, with
and without timer_stats collection activated.

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.

Nobody ported ffmpeg from dv1394 to rawiso yet, and there is no
justification to remove dv1394 right now.
Nevertheless, a strong deprecation of this ABI makes a lot of sense,
especially as Kristian H's drivers shape up to be an attractive
alternative to the existing ones. But we don't have a schedule at the
moment.

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.

o The AX.25 Howto is unmaintained since several years. I've replaced it
with a wiki at http://www.linux-ax25.org which provides more uptodate
information.
o Change default for AX25_DAMA_SLAVE to Y. AX25_DAMA_SLAVE only compiles
in support for DAMA but doesn't activate it. I hope this gets Linux
distributions to ship their AX.25 kernels with AX25_DAMA_SLAVE enabled.
The price for this would be very small.
o Delete historic changelog from comments, that's what SCM systems are
meant to do.
o ---help--- in Kconfig looks so yellingly eye insulting. Use just help.
o Rewrite the commented out piece of old Linux 2.4 configuration language

It turned out that it is almost impossible to trust ACPI, BIOS & Co.
regarding the C states. This was the reason to switch the local apic
timer off in C2 state already. OTOH there are sane and well behaving
systems, which get punished by that decision.
Allow the user to confirm that the local apic timer is trustworthy in C2
state. This keeps the default behaviour on the safe side.

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.

there is a tiny bug in Documentation/crypto/api-intro.txt.
The file has the following example code:
struct scatterlist sg[2];
[...]
if (crypto_hash_digest(&desc, &sg, 2, result))
which does not match the declaration of crypto_hash_digest() in
include/linux/crypto.h.
(static inline int crypto_hash_digest(struct hash_desc *desc,
struct scatterlist *sg, unsigned int nbytes, u8 *out)
The code in the example passes the address of a pointer (an array actually) as
the second argument, while the function expects the pointer itself.
I have attached a patch to fix this.

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.

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.

Since wext is being replaced as fast as we can (it'll probably stick around
for legacy drivers though) and the wext/netlink stuff was never really
used, this schedules it for removal.
The removal schedule is tight but there are no users of the code, the main
user of the wext user interface are the wireless-tools, they only have an
alpha version using the netlink interface and even that is incomplete.

This patch (as859) makes the default USB autosuspend delay a module
parameter of usbcore. By setting the delay value at boot time, users
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.
