The sh_mobile_ceu_camera driver implements an advanced algorithm, combining
scaling and cropping on the client and on the host. Due to its complexity the
algorithm deserves separate documentation.

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.

4614a696bd procfs: allow threads to rename siblings via /proc/pid/tasks/tid/comm
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.

ea63763959 nommu: fix malloc performance by adding uninitialized flag
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.

d0f209f68f ksm: remove unswappable max_kernel_pages
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.

dee5d0d518 mm: add numa node symlink for memory section in sysfs
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.

Add a reverse symlink for each memory section that points back to the
node to which it belongs.

4faf8d950e hugetlb: handle memory hot-plug events
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.

bb86a7338b page-types: exit early when invoked with -d|--describe
On a system with large amount of memory (256GB), invoking page-types can
take quite a long time, which is unreasonable considering the user only
wants a description of the flags:

	# time ./page-types -d 0x10
	0x0000000000000010	____D_____________________________	dirty

	real	0m34.285s
	user	0m1.966s
	sys	0m32.313s

This is because we still walk the entire address range.

Exiting early seems like a reasonble solution:

# time ./page-types -d 0x10
	0x0000000000000010	____D_____________________________	dirty

	real	0m0.007s

dcfe730c60 page-types: learn to describe flags directly from command line
Teach page-types to describe page flags directly from the command line.

Why is this useful?  For instance, if you're using memory hotplug and see
this in /var/log/messages:

	kernel: removing from LRU failed 3836dd0/1/1e00000000000010

It would be nice to decode those page flags without staring at the source.

Example usage and output:

# Documentation/vm/page-types -d 0x10
0x0000000000000010	____D_____________________________	dirty

# Documentation/vm/page-types -d anon
0x0000000000001000	____________a_____________________	anonymous

fb0bbb92d4 Documentation: rw_lock lessons learned
In recent months, two different network projects erroneously
strayed down the rw_lock path.  Update the Documentation
based upon comments by Eric Dumazet and Paul E. McKenney in
those threads.

Further updates await somebody else with more expertise.

Changes:
  - Merged with extensive content by Stephen Hemminger.
  - Fix one of the comments by Linus Torvalds.

06f8bda832 x86: Remove usedac in feature-removal-schedule.txt
The reason of removal, "replaced by allowdac and no dac
combination" is incorrect. There is no way to do the same thing
with "allowdac" and "nodac" combination.

The usedac option enables us to stop via_no_dac() setting
forbid_dac to 1. That is, someone who uses VIA bridges can use
DAC with this option even if some of VIA bridges seem to be
broken about DAC.

06e3c817b7 md: add 'recovery_start' per-device sysfs attribute
Enable external metadata arrays to manage rebuild checkpointing via a
md/dev-XXX/recovery_start attribute which reflects rdev->recovery_offset

Also update resync_start_store to allow 'none' to be written, for
consistency.

ece5cff0da md: Support write-intent bitmaps with externally managed metadata.
In this case, the metadata needs to not be in the same
sector as the bitmap.
md will not read/write any bitmap metadata.  Config must be
done via sysfs and when a recovery makes the array non-degraded
again, writing 'true' to 'bitmap/can_clear' will allow bits in
the bitmap to be cleared again.

43a705076e md: support updating bitmap parameters via sysfs.
A new attribute directory 'bitmap' in 'md' is created which
contains files for configuring the bitmap.
'location' identifies where the bitmap is, either 'none',
or 'file' or 'sector offset from metadata'.
Writing 'location' can create or remove a 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.

15ac7afe51 omap: mux: Add new style pin multiplexing code for omap3
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
