5410ecc0de kbuild: introduce $(kecho) convenience echo
There is a bunch of places in the build system where we do 'echo' to show
some nice status lines.  This means we still get output when running in
silent mode.  So declare a new KECHO variable that only does 'echo' when we
are in a suitable verbose build mode.

1d678f365d DMA-API.txt: fix description of pci_map_sg/dma_map_sg scatterlists handling
- pci_map_sg/dma_map_sg are used with a scatter gather list that doesn't
  come from the block layer (e.g.  some network drivers do).

- how IOMMUs merge adjacent elements of the scatter/gather list is
  independent of how the block layer determines sees elements.

7ef9964e6d epoll: introduce resource usage limits
It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also
limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll
interface.  Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified
version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large
amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds.  To
solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based
configuration has been introduced.  A new directory has been created,
named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration
points:

  max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user

  max_user_watches   = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user

The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll
to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM.  As example, a
256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000.
That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users.  The
default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be
enough too.

This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out
from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC).  The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already
listed, so that should be ok.

c072c24975 ftrace: improve documentation
Impact: extend documentation with notice of using wild cards correctly

We know that we can use wild cards to set set_ftrace_filter, but there's
problem when using them naively such as:

   echo h* > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

If there are files named with "h" prefix in current directory,
echo "h*" will echo these filenames to set_ftrace_filter, not the
intended "h*".

For example:

  $ cat /debug/tracing/available_filter_functions |grep ^hr |wc -l
  23
  $ ls
  $ touch hraa hrdd
  $ ls
  hraa  hrdd
  $ echo hr* > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
  $ cat /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

No output in /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter!

If we use '' to escape wild cards, it works:

  $ ls
  hraa  hrdd
  $ echo "hr*" > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
  $ cat /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter |wc -l
  23

This problem can lead to unexpected result if current directory has a
lot of files.

df4fc31558 ftrace: add function tracing to single thread
Impact: feature to function trace a single thread

This patch adds the ability to function trace a single thread.
The file:

  /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_pid

contains the pid to trace. Valid pids are any positive integer.
Writing any negative number to this file will disable the pid
tracing and the function tracer will go back to tracing all of
threads.

This feature works with both static and dynamic function tracing.

ef8ef5fb10 ALSA: hda: Added an ALC888 model entry for Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Xa3530
This patch fixes the bug 0004240: ALC888 - Intel HDA - Headphone Controlling.
It is made against the 2008-11-23 snapshot.

Added Realtek ALC888 model entry for the Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Xa3530
laptop. It has 4 jacks: HP out, Mic-in, Line-in and Line-out/Side/SPDIF
(this one is on the laptop side, the other ones are on the rear).

Model detection works.
Headphone jack sense works now.
Front mic works now, was same as Acer Aspire 4930G.
Added channel mode from 2 to 8 channels.

In 2ch and 4ch modes, the front is also sent to the Line-out/side jack
for convenience instead of just muting the Line-out/side jack like other
models do.

When using the Mic-in jack as CLFE, the sound is very low (bug?). To
work it around, in 6ch mode the CLFE channel is duplicated to the
Line-out/side jack because this one has a better amp.

b54d3de9f3 tracing: identify which executable object the userspace address belongs to
Impact: modify+improve the userstacktrace tracing visualization feature

Store thread group leader id, and use it to lookup the address in the
process's map. We could have looked up the address on thread's map,
but the thread might not exist by the time we are called. The process
might not exist either, but if you are reading trace_pipe, that is
unlikely.

Example usage:

 mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
 cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
 echo userstacktrace >iter_ctrl
 echo sym-userobj >iter_ctrl
 echo sched_switch >current_tracer
 echo 1 >tracing_enabled
 cat trace_pipe >/tmp/trace&
 .... run application ...
 echo 0 >tracing_enabled
 cat /tmp/trace

You'll see stack entries like:

   /lib/libpthread-2.7.so[+0xd370]

You can convert them to function/line using:

   addr2line -fie /lib/libpthread-2.7.so 0xd370

Or:

   addr2line -fie /usr/lib/debug/libpthread-2.7.so 0xd370

For non-PIC/PIE executables this won't work:

   a.out[+0x73b]

You need to run the following: addr2line -fie a.out 0x40073b
(where 0x400000 is the default load address of a.out)

875065491f ASoC: Rename snd_soc_card to snd_soc_machine
One of the issues with the ASoC v1 API which has been addressed in the
ASoC v2 work that Liam Girdwood has done is that the ALSA card provided
by ASoC is distributed around the ASoC structures. For example, machine
wide data such as the struct snd_card are maintained as part of the
CODEC data structure, preventing the use of multiple codecs. This has
been addressed by refactoring the data structures so that all the data
for the ALSA card is contained in a single structure snd_soc_card which
replaces the existing snd_soc_machine and snd_soc_device.

Begin the process of backporting this by renaming struct snd_soc_machine
to struct snd_soc_card, better reflecting its function and bringing it
closer to standard ALSA terminology.
