e938fbfd4a Input: elantech - ignore high bits in the position coordinates
In older versions of the elantech hardware/firmware those bits always
were unset, so it didn't actually matter, but newer versions seem to
use those high bits for something else, screwing up the coordinates
we report to the input layer for those devices.

95b1ed2ac7 spi: spidev_test gives error upon 1-byte transfer
The sample application spidev_test.c is using SPI_IOC_MESSAGE ioctl to do
an SPI transfer.  This ioctl returns the number of bytes successfully
transmitted or a negative error code upon erroneous completion.  The
application however is returning an error if the result of the ioclt if
the return value is 1.  This makes the application to fail upon 1-byte
length transfers.

0b5adf92ec HID: split picolcd's operation_mode sysfs attribute
Original operation_mode sysfs attribute accepts the operation mode
as main value with an option delay as second value to change
the start-up delay on mode change.

As it is preferred to have exactly one value per sysfs attribute,
extract this delay into a separate sysfs attribute called
operation_mode_delay.

afc24d49c1 blk-cgroup: config options re-arrangement
This patch fixes few usability and configurability issues.

o All the cgroup based controller options are configurable from
  "Genral Setup/Control Group Support/" menu. blkio is the only exception.
  Hence make this option visible in above menu and make it configurable from
  there to bring it inline with rest of the cgroup based controllers.

o Get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED.

  This option currently does two things.

  - Enable printing of cgroup paths in blktrace
  - Enables CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP, which in turn displays additional stat
    files in cgroup.

  If we are using group scheduling, blktrace data is of not really much use
  if cgroup information is not present. To get this data, currently one has to
  also enable CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED, which in turn brings the overhead of
  all the additional debug stat files which is not desired.

  Hence, this patch moves printing of cgroup paths under
  CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED.

  This allows us to get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED completely. Now all
  the debug stat files are controlled only by CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP which
  can be enabled through config menu.

The interrupt shadow created by STI or MOV-SS-like operations is part of
the VCPU state and must be preserved across migration. Transfer it in
the spare padding field of kvm_vcpu_events.interrupt.

As a side effect we now have to make vmx_set_interrupt_shadow robust
against both shadow types being set. Give MOV SS a higher priority and
skip STI in that case to avoid that VMX throws a fault on next entry.

cecbca96da tracing: Dump either the oops's cpu source or all cpus buffers
The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, sysctl and sysrq let one
dump every cpu buffers when an oops or panic happens.

It's nice when you have few cpus but it may take ages if have many,
plus you miss the real origin of the problem in all the cpu traces.

Sometimes, all you need is to dump the cpu buffer that triggered the
opps, most of the time it is our main interest.

This patch modifies ftrace_dump_on_oops to handle this choice.

The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, when it comes alone, has
the same behaviour than before. But ftrace_dump_on_oops=orig_cpu
will only dump the buffer of the cpu that oops'ed.

Similarly, sysctl kernel.ftrace_dump_on_oops=1 and
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops keep their previous
behaviour. But setting 2 jumps into cpu origin dump mode.

v2: Fix double setup
v3: Fix spelling issues reported by Randy Dunlap
v4: Also update __ftrace_dump in the selftests
