2009-12-15hwmon: w83627ehf updatesDaniel J Blueman
Add control of fan minimum turn-on output levels, decoupling it from the fan turn-off output level. Add control of rate of change of fan output level. These in turn allow lower turn-off rotor speed and smoother transitions for better thermal and acoustic control authority. Add support for constant fan speed and proportional-response operations modes.

2009-12-15procfs: allow threads to rename siblings via /proc/pid/tasks/tid/commjohn stultz
Setting a thread's comm to be something unique is a very useful ability and is helpful for debugging complicated threaded applications. However currently the only way to set a thread name is for the thread to name itself via the PR_SET_NAME prctl. However, there may be situations where it would be advantageous for a thread dispatcher to be naming the threads its managing, rather then having the threads self-describe themselves. This sort of behavior is available on other systems via the pthread_setname_np() interface. This patch exports a task's comm via proc/pid/comm and proc/pid/task/tid/comm interfaces, and allows thread siblings to write to these values.

2009-12-15nommu: fix malloc performance by adding uninitialized flagJie Zhang
The NOMMU code currently clears all anonymous mmapped memory. While this is what we want in the default case, all memory allocation from userspace under NOMMU has to go through this interface, including malloc() which is allowed to return uninitialized memory. This can easily be a significant performance penalty. So for constrained embedded systems were security is irrelevant, allow people to avoid clearing memory unnecessarily. This also alters the ELF-FDPIC binfmt such that it obtains uninitialised memory for the brk and stack region.

2009-12-15ksm: remove unswappable max_kernel_pagesHugh Dickins
Now that ksm pages are swappable, and the known holes plugged, remove mention of unswappable kernel pages from KSM documentation and comments. Remove the totalram_pages/4 initialization of max_kernel_pages. In fact, remove max_kernel_pages altogether - we can reinstate it if removal turns out to break someone's script; but if we later want to limit KSM's memory usage, limiting the stable nodes would not be an effective approach.

Commit c04fc586c (mm: show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs) created symlinks from nodes to memory sections, e.g. /sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135 If you're examining the memory section though and are wondering what node it might belong to, you can find it by grovelling around in sysfs, but it's a little cumbersome.

2009-12-15hugetlb: handle memory hot-plug eventsLee Schermerhorn
Register per node hstate attributes only for nodes with memory. As suggested by David Rientjes. With Memory Hotplug, memory can be added to a memoryless node and a node with memory can become memoryless. Therefore, add a memory on/off-line notifier callback to [un]register a node's attributes on transition to/from memoryless state. N.B., Only tested build, boot, libhugetlbfs regression. i.e., no memory hotplug testing.

A new attribute directory 'bitmap' in 'md' is created which contains files for configuring the bitmap.

Adding a 'file' bitmap this way is not yet supported. 'chunksize' and 'time_base' must be set before 'location' can be set. 'chunksize' can be set before creating a bitmap, but is currently always over-ridden by the bitmap superblock. 'time_base' and 'backlog' can be updated at any time.

2009-12-12omap: mux: Add new style pin multiplexing code for omap3Tony Lindgren
Initially only for 34xx. This code allows us to: - Make the code more generic as the omap internal signal names can stay the same across omap generations for some devices - Map mux registers to GPIO registers that is needed for dynamic muxing of pins during off-idle - Override bootloader mux values via kernel cmdline using omap_mux=some.signa1=0x1234,some.signal2=0x1234 - View and set the mux registers via debugfs if CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is enabled Cc: Mike Rapoport <mike@compulab.co.il> Cc: Benoit Cousson <b-cousson@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Walmsley <paul@pwsan.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com>

2009-12-11USB: usb-storage: add BAD_SENSE flagAlan Stern
This patch (as1311) fixes a problem in usb-storage: Some devices are pretty broken when it comes to reporting sense data. The information they send back indicates that they have more than 18 bytes of sense data available, but when the system asks for more than 18 they fail or hang. The symptom is that probing fails with multiple resets. The patch adds a new BAD_SENSE flag to indicate that usb-storage should never ask for more than 18 bytes of sense data. The flag can be set in an unusual_devs entry or via the "quirks=" module parameter, and it is set automatically whenever a REQUEST SENSE command for more than 18 bytes fails or times out. An unusual_devs entry is added for the Agfa photo frame, which uses a Prolific chip having this bug.

2009-12-11USB: prepare for changover to Runtime PM frameworkAlan Stern
This patch (as1303) revises the USB Power Management infrastructure to make it compatible with the new driver-model Runtime PM framework: Drivers are no longer allowed to access intf->pm_usage_cnt directly; the PM framework manages its own usage counters. usb_autopm_set_interface() is eliminated, because it directly sets intf->pm_usage_cnt. usb_autopm_enable() and usb_autopm_disable() are eliminated, because they call usb_autopm_set_interface(). usb_autopm_get_interface_no_resume() and usb_autopm_put_interface_no_suspend() are added. They correspond to pm_runtime_get_noresume() and pm_runtime_put_noidle() in the PM framework. The power/level attribute no longer accepts "suspend", only "on" and "auto". The PM framework doesn't allow devices to be forced into a suspended mode. The hub driver contains the only code that violates the new guidelines. It is updated to use the new interface routines instead. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2009-12-11USB: remove the auto_pm flagAlan Stern
