df16dd53c5 hwmon: (ltc4245) Read only one GPIO pin
Read only one of the GPIO pins as an analog voltage. The ADC can be
switched to a different GPIO pin at runtime, but this is not supported.

Previously, this driver would report the analog voltage of the currently
selected GPIO pin as all three GPIO voltages: in9_input, in10_input and
in11_input.

cff37c9e82 hwmon: (tmp102) Various fixes
Fixes from my driver review:
http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2010-March/028051.html

Only the small changes are in there, more important changes will come
later separately as time permits.

* Drop the remnants of the now gone detect function
* The TMP102 has no known compatible chip
* Include the right header files
* Clarify why byte swapping of register values is needed
* Strip resolution info bit from temperature register value
* Set cache lifetime to 1/3 second
* Don't arbitrarily reject limit values; clamp as needed
* Make limit writing unconditional
* Don't check for transaction types the driver doesn't use
* Properly check for error when setting configuration
* Report error on failed probe
* Make the driver load automatically where needed
* Various other minor fixes

beb1b6bbf2 hwmon: Driver for TI TMP102 temperature sensor
Driver for the TI TMP102.

The TI TMP102 is similar to the LM75.  It differs from the LM75 by
having a 16-bit conf register and the temp registers have a minimum
resolution of 12 bits; the extended conf register can select 13-bit
resolution (which this driver does) and also change the update rate
(which this driver currently doesn't use).

[JD: Fix tmp102_exit tag, must be __exit, not __init.]

b9498bfe86 numa: update Documentation/vm/numa, add memoryless node info
Kamezawa Hiroyuki requested documentation for the numa_mem_id() and slab
related changes.  He suggested Documentation/vm/numa for this
documentation.  Looking at this file, it seems to me to be hopelessly out
of date relative to current Linux NUMA support.  At the risk of going down
a rathole, I have made an attempt to rewrite the doc at a slightly higher
level [I think] and provide pointers to other in-tree documents and
out-of-tree man pages that cover the details.

Let the games begin.

The inode's i_size is not protected by the big kernel lock.  Therefore it
does not make sense to recommend taking the BKL in filesystems llseek
operations.  Instead it should use the inode's mutex or use just use
i_size_read() instead.  Add a note that this is not protecting

87946a7228 memcg: move charge of file pages
This patch adds support for moving charge of file pages, which include
normal file, tmpfs file and swaps of tmpfs file.  It's enabled by setting
bit 1 of <target cgroup>/memory.move_charge_at_immigrate.

Unlike the case of anonymous pages, file pages(and swaps) in the range
mmapped by the task will be moved even if the task hasn't done page fault,
i.e.  they might not be the task's "RSS", but other task's "RSS" that maps
the same file.  And mapcount of the page is ignored(the page can be moved
even if page_mapcount(page) > 1).  So, conditions that the page/swap
should be met to be moved is that it must be in the range mmapped by the
target task and it must be charged to the old cgroup.

3c11ecf448 memcg: oom kill disable and oom status
This adds a feature to disable oom-killer for memcg, if disabled, of
course, tasks under memcg will stop.

But now, we have oom-notifier for memcg.  And the world around memcg is
not under out-of-memory.  memcg's out-of-memory just shows memcg hits
limit.  Then, administrator or management daemon can recover the situation
by

	- kill some process
	- enlarge limit, add more swap.
	- migrate some tasks
	- remove file cache on tmps (difficult ?)

Unlike oom-killer, you can take enough information before killing tasks.
(by gcore, or, ps etc.)

event notification of OOM in memcg should be implemented.  Now, memcg has

This patch adds oom notification eventfd callback for memcg.  The usage is
very similar to threshold notifier, but control file is memory.oom_control
and no arguments other than eventfd is required.

578454ff7e driver core: add devname module aliases to allow module on-demand auto-loading
This adds:
  alias: devname:<name>
to some common kernel modules, which will allow the on-demand loading
of the kernel module when the device node is accessed.

Ideally all these modules would be compiled-in, but distros seems too
much in love with their modularization that we need to cover the common
cases with this new facility. It will allow us to remove a bunch of pretty
useless init scripts and modprobes from init scripts.

The static device node aliases will be carried in the module itself. The
program depmod will extract this information to a file in the module directory:
  $ cat /lib/modules/2.6.34-00650-g537b60d-dirty/modules.devname
  # Device nodes to trigger on-demand module loading.
  microcode cpu/microcode c10:184
  fuse fuse c10:229
  ppp_generic ppp c108:0
  tun net/tun c10:200
  dm_mod mapper/control c10:235

Udev will pick up the depmod created file on startup and create all the
static device nodes which the kernel modules specify, so that these modules
get automatically loaded when the device node is accessed:
  $ /sbin/udevd --debug
  ...
  static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/cpu/microcode' c10:184
  static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/fuse' c10:229
  static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/ppp' c108:0
  static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/net/tun' c10:200
  static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/mapper/control' c10:235
  udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/net/tun' 0666
  udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/fuse' 0666

A few device nodes are switched to statically allocated numbers, to allow
the static nodes to work. This might also useful for systems which still run
a plain static /dev, which is completely unsafe to use with any dynamic minor
numbers.

Note:
The devname aliases must be limited to the *common* and *single*instance*
device nodes, like the misc devices, and never be used for conceptually limited
systems like the loop devices, which should rather get fixed properly and get a
control node for losetup to talk to, instead of creating a random number of
device nodes in advance, regardless if they are ever used.

This facility is to hide the mess distros are creating with too modualized
kernels, and just to hide that these modules are not compiled-in, and not to
paper-over broken concepts. Thanks! :)

3014420b6b ieee1394: schedule for removal
All application domains that are supported by the old ieee1394 driver
stack are supported by the newer firewire driver stack too.  There is
now good and extensive experience with the newer stack from deployment
in Fedora since F7 as well as by enthusiast users of other
distributions.

The new drivers have consequently been recommended as the default ones
since 2.6.33, in order to fix some severe usability problems of FireWire
on Linux due to limitations of the old stack.  It is now high time to
announce when the obsolete drivers will be removed.

5e77190580 mm: compaction: add a tunable that decides when memory should be compacted and when it should be reclaimed
The kernel applies some heuristics when deciding if memory should be
compacted or reclaimed to satisfy a high-order allocation.  One of these
is based on the fragmentation.  If the index is below 500, memory will not
be compacted.  This choice is arbitrary and not based on data.  To help
optimise the system and set a sensible default for this value, this patch
adds a sysctl extfrag_threshold.  The kernel will only compact memory if
the fragmentation index is above the extfrag_threshold.

ed4a6d7f06 mm: compaction: add /sys trigger for per-node memory compaction
Add a per-node sysfs file called compact.  When the file is written to,
each zone in that node is compacted.  The intention that this would be
used by something like a job scheduler in a batch system before a job
starts so that the job can allocate the maximum number of hugepages
without significant start-up cost.

76ab0f530e mm: compaction: add /proc trigger for memory compaction
Add a proc file /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory.  When an arbitrary value is
written to the file, all zones are compacted.  The expected user of such a
trigger is a job scheduler that prepares the system before the target
application runs.
