5adaf851d2 Documentation/Changes: remove some really obsolete text
That file harkens back to the days of the big 2.4 -> 2.6 version jump,
and was based even then on older versions.  Some of it is just obsolete,
and Jesper Juhl points out that it talks about kernel versions 2.6 and
should be updated to 3.0.

Remove some obsolete text, and re-phrase some other to not be 2.6-specific.

f483d3923d PCI: conditional resource-reallocation through kernel parameter pci=realloc
Multiple attempts to dynamically reallocate pci resources have
unfortunately lead to regressions. Though we continue to fix the
regressions and fine tune the dynamic-reallocation behavior, we have not
reached a acceptable state yet.
    
This patch provides a interim solution. It disables dynamic reallocation
by default, but adds the ability to enable it through pci=realloc kernel
command line parameter.

c902ce1bfb FS-Cache: Add a helper to bulk uncache pages on an inode
Add an FS-Cache helper to bulk uncache pages on an inode.  This will
only work for the circumstance where the pages in the cache correspond
1:1 with the pages attached to an inode's page cache.

This is required for CIFS and NFS: When disabling inode cookie, we were
returning the cookie and setting cifsi->fscache to NULL but failed to
invalidate any previously mapped pages.  This resulted in "Bad page
state" errors and manifested in other kind of errors when running
fsstress.  Fix it by uncaching mapped pages when we disable the inode
cookie.

This patch should fix the following oops and "Bad page state" errors
seen during fsstress testing.

6293698277 [media] feature-removal-schedule: change in how radio device nodes are handled
Radio devices have weird side-effects when used with combined TV/radio
tuners and the V4L2 spec is ambiguous on how it should work. This results
in inconsistent driver behavior which makes life hard for everyone.

Be more strict in when and how the switch between radio and tv mode
takes place and make sure all drivers behave the same.

a50245af78 thinkpad-acpi: handle HKEY 0x4010, 0x4011 events
Handle events 0x4010 and 0x4011 so that we do not pester users about them.

These events report when the thinkpad is docked/undocked to a native
hotplug dock (i.e. one that does not need ACPI handling, nor is represented
in the ACPI device tree).  Such docks are based on USB 2.0/3.0, and also
work as port replicators.

We really want a proper dock class to report these, or at least new input
EV_SW events.  Since it is not clear which one to use yet, keep reporting
them as vendor-specific ThinkPad events.

WARNING: As defined by the thinkpad-acpi sysfs ABI rules of engagement, the
vendor-specific events will be REMOVED as soon as generic events are made
available (duplicate events are a big problem), with an appropriate update
to the thinkpad-acpi sysfs/event ABI versioning.  Userspace is already
prepared to provide easy backwards compatibility for such changes when
convenient to the distro (see acpi-fakekey).

* Event 0x4010: docking to hotplug dock/port replicator
* Event 0x4011: undocking from hotplug dock/port replicator

Typical usecase would be to trigger display reconfiguration.

Reports mention T410, T510, and series 3 docks/port replicators.  Special
thanks to Robert de Rooy for his extensive report and analysis of the
situation.

2d43f671c8 thinkpad-acpi: handle some new HKEY 0x60xx events
Handle some user interface events from the newer Lenovo models.  We are likely
to do something smart with these events in the future, for now, hide the ones
we are already certain about from the user and userspace both.

* Events 0x6000 and 0x6005 are key-related.  0x6005 is not properly identified
  yet.  Ignore these events, and do not report them.

* Event 0x6040 has not been properly identified yet, and we don't know if it
  is important (looks like it isn't, but still...).  Keep reporting it.

* Change the message the driver outputs on unknown 0x6xxx events, as all
  recent events are not related to thermal alarms.  Degrade log level from
  ALERT to WARNING.

Thanks to all users who reported these events or asked about them in a number
of mailing lists.  Your help is highly appreciated, even if I did took a lot of
time to act on them.  For that I apologise.

I will list those that identified the reasons for the events as "reported-by",
and I apologise in advance if I leave anyone out: it was not done on purpose, I
made the mistake of not properly tagging all event report emails separately,
and might have missed some.

a9e758634f USB: Fix up URB error codes to reflect implementation.
Documentation/usb/error-codes.txt mentions that urb->status can be set to
-EXDEV, if the isochronous transfer was not fully completed.  However, in
practice, EHCI, UHCI, and OHCI all only set -EXDEV in the individual frame
status, never in the URB status.  Those host controller actually always
pass in a zero status to usb_hcd_giveback_urb, and rely on the core to set
the appropriate status value.

The xHCI driver ran into issues with the uvcvideo driver when it tried to
set -EXDEV in urb->status, because the driver refused to submit URBs, and
the userspace camera application's video froze.

Clean up the documentation to reflect the actual implementation.

09223371de rcu: Use softirq to address performance regression
Commit a26ac2455ffcf3(rcu: move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread)
introduced performance regression. In an AIM7 test, this commit degraded
performance by about 40%.

The commit runs rcu callbacks in a kthread instead of softirq. We observed
high rate of context switch which is caused by this. Out test system has
64 CPUs and HZ is 1000, so we saw more than 64k context switch per second
which is caused by RCU's per-CPU kthread.  A trace showed that most of
the time the RCU per-CPU kthread doesn't actually handle any callbacks,
but instead just does a very small amount of work handling grace periods.
This means that RCU's per-CPU kthreads are making the scheduler do quite
a bit of work in order to allow a very small amount of RCU-related
processing to be done.

Alex Shi's analysis determined that this slowdown is due to lock
contention within the scheduler.  Unfortunately, as Peter Zijlstra points
out, the scheduler's real-time semantics require global action, which
means that this contention is inherent in real-time scheduling.  (Yes,
perhaps someone will come up with a workaround -- otherwise, -rt is not
going to do well on large SMP systems -- but this patch will work around
this issue in the meantime.  And "the meantime" might well be forever.)

This patch therefore re-introduces softirq processing to RCU, but only
for core RCU work.  RCU callbacks are still executed in kthread context,
so that only a small amount of RCU work runs in softirq context in the
common case.  This should minimize ksoftirqd execution, allowing us to
skip boosting of ksoftirqd for CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y kernels.
