bd58b43003 rcu: Update trace.txt documentation to reflect recent changes
o	Remove the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU documentation since this
	config option has now been removed.

o	Change the now-incorrect references to "rcu" labels to
	instead be "rcu_sched".

o	Add notes stating that CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU kernels will
	have additional "rcu_preempt" output.

o	Note the new "oqlen" field in the rcuhier output (for
	RCU callbacks orphaned by an offlined CPU).

54930531a0 ALSA: hda - Fix mute sound with STAC9227/9228 codecs
On FSC laptops, the sound gets muted gradually when the volume is chnaged.
This is due to the wrong volume-knob widget setup.  The delta bit (bit 7)
shouldn't be set for these devices.

This patch adds a new quirk to set the value 0x7f to the widget 0x24
instead of 0xff.

405b2651e4 tracing/kprobes: Add $ prefix to special variables
Add $ prefix to the special variables(e.g. sa, rv) of kprobe-tracer.
This resolves consistency issues between kprobe_events and perf-kprobe.

The main goal is to avoid conflicts between local variable names of
probed functions, used by perf probe, and special variables used
in the kprobe event creation interface (stack values, etc...) and
also available from perf probe.

ie: we don't want rv (return value) to conflict with a local variable
named rv in a probed function.

7823da36ce cgroups: update documentation of cgroups tasks and procs files
Update documentation of cgroups tasks and procs files

Document the cgroup.procs file.

Clarify the semantics of the cgroup.procs and tasks files.  Although the
current cgroup.procs interface returns a sorted and uniqified list of
pids, potential future performance enhancements could result in those
properties being removed - explicitly document this aspect of the API.

There are no existing users of cgroup.procs, so compatibility isn't an
issue.  There are users of the "tasks" file, but none that would appear to
break in the event of the sorted property being broken.  The standard
"libcpuset" explicitly sorts the results of reading from the tasks file,
and "libcg" and other users don't appear to care about ordering.

c73602ad31 ksm: more on default values
Adjust the max_kernel_pages default to a quarter of totalram_pages,
instead of nr_free_buffer_pages() / 4: the KSM pages themselves come from
highmem, and even on a 16GB PAE machine, 4GB of KSM pages would only be
pinning 32MB of lowmem with their rmap_items, so no need for the more
obscure calculation (nor for its own special init function).

There is no way for the user to switch KSM on if CONFIG_SYSFS is not
enabled, so in that case default run to KSM_RUN_MERGE.

Update KSM Documentation and Kconfig to reflect the new defaults.

f86dcc5aa8 udp: dynamically size hash tables at boot time
UDP_HTABLE_SIZE was initialy defined to 128, which is a bit small for
several setups.

4000 active UDP sockets -> 32 sockets per chain in average. An
incoming frame has to lookup all sockets to find best match, so long
chains hurt latency.

Instead of a fixed size hash table that cant be perfect for every
needs, let UDP stack choose its table size at boot time like tcp/ip
route, using alloc_large_system_hash() helper

Add an optional boot parameter, uhash_entries=x so that an admin can
force a size between 256 and 65536 if needed, like thash_entries and
rhash_entries.

dmesg logs two new lines :
[    0.647039] UDP hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes)
[    0.647099] UDP Lite hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes)

Maximal size on 64bit arches would be 65536 slots, ie 1 MBytes for non
debugging spinlocks.

7b76bfc867 kconfig: simplification of scripts/extract-ikconfig
I've rewritten the extract-ikconfig script to extract the kernel
configuration from a kernel compiled with CONFIG_IKCONFIG. The main
motivation for the rewrite was to remove the dependency on the
external C program binoffset.c, which is compiled on the initial run.

The binoffset executable is invoked with a relative path, which means
that the old script can only be run from the top of the kernel tree,
and only when you have write permission in the scripts directory.

The new script uses tr/grep/tail/zcat only, and can be invoked from
anywhere. The binoffset.c program has been removed. This script
requires GNU grep 2.5 (released 2002-03-13) or higher, because the -o
option was introduced in that version.

Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: new sysctl for sending TLLAO with unicast NAs

Neighbor advertisements responding to unicast neighbor solicitations
did not include the target link-layer address option. This patch adds
a new sysctl option (disabled by default) which controls whether this
option should be sent even with unicast NAs.

The need for this arose because certain routers expect the TLLAO in
some situations even as a response to unicast NS packets.

Moreover, RFC 2461 recommends sending this to avoid a race condition
(section 4.4, Target link-layer address)

a549952ad3 bonding: introduce primary_reselect option
In some cases there is not desirable to switch back to primary interface when
it's link recovers and rather stay with currently active one. We need to avoid
packetloss as much as we can in some cases. This is solved by introducing
primary_reselect option. Note that enslaved primary slave is set as current
active no matter what.

Patch modified by Jay Vosburgh as follows: fixed bug in action
after change of option setting via sysfs, revised the documentation
update, and bumped the bonding version number.

Also, add gameport support and remove an unused mpu field.

896a7cf8d8 pktgen: Fix multiqueue handling
It is not currently possible to instruct pktgen to use one selected tx queue.

When Robert added multiqueue support in commit 45b270f8, he added
an interval (queue_map_min, queue_map_max), and his code doesnt take
into account the case of min = max, to select one tx queue exactly.

I suspect a high performance setup on a eight txqueue device wants
to use exactly eight cpus, and assign one tx queue to each sender.

This patchs makes pktgen select the right tx queue, not the first one.

Also updates Documentation to reflect Robert changes.

2d2a7cff1b ltc4215/ltc4245: Discard obsolete detect methods
There is no point in implementing a detect callback for the LTC4215
and LTC4245, as these devices can't be detected. It was there solely
to handle "force" module parameters to instantiate devices, but now
we have a better sysfs interface that can do the same.

So we can get rid of the ugly module parameters and the detect
callbacks. This shrinks the binary module sizes by 36% and 46%,
respectively.
