1840475676 genirq: Expose default irq affinity mask (take 3)
Current IRQ affinity interface does not provide a way to set affinity
for the IRQs that will be allocated/activated in the future.
This patch creates /proc/irq/default_smp_affinity that lets users set
default affinity mask for the newly allocated IRQs. Changing the default
does not affect affinity masks for the currently active IRQs, they
have to be changed explicitly.

Updated based on Paul J's comments and added some more documentation.

23deb06821 x86: move x86-specific documentation into Documentation/x86
The current organization of the x86 documentation makes it appear as
if the "i386" documentation doesn't apply to x86-64, which is does.
Thus, move that documentation into Documentation/x86, and move the
x86-64-specific stuff into Documentation/x86/x86_64 with the eventual
goal to move stuff that isn't actually 64-bit specific back into
Documentation/x86.

find the slot with the given module name first and assign if it's

to find another free slot.

Also, when a module name begins with '!', it means the negative match:

571640cad3 ext4: enable barriers by default
I can't think of any valid reason for ext4 to not use barriers when
they are available;  I believe this is necessary for filesystem
integrity in the face of a volatile write cache on storage.

An administrator who trusts that the cache is sufficiently battery-
backed (and power supplies are sufficiently redundant, etc...)
can always turn it back off again.

SuSE has carried such a patch for ext3 for quite some time now.

Also document the mount option while we're at it.

12031a624a x86: mtrr cleanup for converting continuous to discrete - auto detect v4
Loop through mtrr chunk_size and gran_size from 1M to 2G to find out
the optimal value so user does not need to add mtrr_chunk_size and
mtrr_gran_size to the kernel command line.

If optimal value is not found, print out all list to help select less
optimal value.

Add mtrr_spare_reg_nr= so user could set 2 instead of 1, if the card
need more entries.

v2: find the one with more spare entries
v3: fix hole_basek offset
v4: tight the compare between range and range_new

95ffa2438d x86: mtrr cleanup for converting continuous to discrete layout, v8
some BIOS like to use continus MTRR layout, and X driver can not add
WB entries for graphical cards when 4g or more RAM installed.

the patch will change MTRR to discrete.

mtrr_chunk_size= could be used to have smaller continuous block to hold holes.
default is 256m, could be set according to size of graphics card memory.

mtrr_gran_size= could be used to send smallest mtrr block to avoid run out of MTRRs

v2: fix -1 for UC checking
v3: default to disable, and need use enable_mtrr_cleanup to enable this feature
    skip the var state change warning.
    remove next_basek in range_to_mtrr()
v4: correct warning mask.
v5: CONFIG_MTRR_SANITIZER
v6: fix 1g, 2g, 512 aligment with extra hole
v7: gran_sizek to prevent running out of MTRRs.

9c44bc03ff softlockup: allow panic on lockup
allow users to configure the softlockup detector to generate a panic
instead of a warning message.

high-availability systems might opt for this strict method (combined
with panic_timeout= boot option/sysctl), instead of generating
softlockup warnings ad infinitum.

also, automated tests work better if the system reboots reliably (into
a safe kernel) in case of a lockup.

The full spectrum of configurability is supported: boot option, sysctl
option and Kconfig option.

03fb0bce01 fuse: fix bdi naming conflict
Fuse allocates a separate bdi for each filesystem, and registers them
in sysfs with "MAJOR:MINOR" of sb->s_dev (st_dev).  This works fine for
anon devices normally used by fuse, but can conflict with an already
registered BDI for "fuseblk" filesystems, where sb->s_dev represents a
real block device.  In particularl this happens if a non-partitioned
device is being mounted.

Fix by registering with a different name for "fuseblk" filesystems.

Thanks to Ioan Ionita for the bug report.

3915c1e863 bonding: Add "follow" option to fail_over_mac
Add a "follow" selection for fail_over_mac.  This option
causes the MAC address to move from slave to slave as the active
slave changes.  This is in addition to the existing fail_over_mac option
that causes the bond's MAC address to change during failover.

	This new option is useful for devices that cannot tolerate
multiple ports using the same MAC address simultaneously, either
because it confuses them or incurs a performance penalty (as is the
case with some LPAR-aware multiport devices).  Because the MAC of the
bond itself does not change, the "follow" option is slightly more
reliable during failover and doesn't change the MAC of the bond during
operation.

	This patch requires a previous ARP monitor change to properly
handle RTNL during failovers.

8e552c36d9 power_supply: add CHARGE_COUNTER property and olpc_battery support for it
This adds PROP_CHARGE_COUNTER to the power supply class (documenting it
as well).  The OLPC battery driver uses this for spitting out its ACR
values (in uAh).  We have some rounding errors (the data sheet claims
416.7, the math actually works out to 416.666667, so we're forced to
choose between overflows or precision loss.  I chose precision loss,
and stuck w/ data sheet values), but I don't think anyone will care
that much.

1a31a88f4f i2c: Improve smbus-protocol documentation
Improve the smbus-protocol documentation file somewhat:

 - Use the names of the SMBus protocol operations (from the 2.0
   specification), not made-up-for-Linux names.

 - Add the name of the call used to execute each operation ... and
   point out that there are mismatches, where functions execute
   different protocol operations than their names specify.
   
The most confusing examples are that "Read Byte" isn't executed by
i2c_smbus_read_byte(), and that "Write Byte" isn't executed by
i2c_smbus_write_byte().  When coding, that's not as bad as it may
seem; but that case would seem to be worth fixing.

33dcdac2df [PATCH] kill ->put_inode
And with that last patch to affs killing the last put_inode instance we
can finally, after many years of transition kill this racy and awkward
interface.

(It's kinda funny that even the description in
Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt was entirely wrong..)

Also remove a very misleading comment above the defintion of
struct super_operations.
