6b6fabce5a m32r: Fix set_memory() for DISCONTIGMEM
In case CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM is set, the memory size of system was
always determined by CONFIG_MEMORY_SIZE and was not changeable.

This patch fixes set_memory() of arch/m32r/mm/discontig.c so that
we can specify memory size by the "mem=<size>" kernel parameter.

53412c5b12 ACPI: kill overly verbose "throttling states" log messages
I was recently lucky enough to get a 64-CPU system.  The processors
actually have T-states, so my kernel log ends up with 64 lines like:

    ACPI: Processor [CPU0] (supports xx throttling states)

This is pretty useless clutter because

 - this info is already available after boot from
   /proc/acpi/processor/CPUnn/throttling

 - there's also an ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT() in processor_throttling.c that
   gives the same info on boot for anyone who *really* cares.

So just delete the code that prints the throttling states in
processor_core.c.

01674da6f5 SFI: fix section mismatch warnings in sfi_core.c
The function sfi_map_memory/sfi_unmap_memory uses
early_ioremap/early_iounmap respectively, which refers to a __init
function.  And function sfi_check_table also refers to a __init function
sfi_verify_table.  Since the references are valid, so use __ref to get rid
of the warnings.

 We were warned by the following warnings:

This is often because sfi_map_memory lacks a __init

The ACPI /proc write() code takes an unsigned length argument like any write()

fbbf694566 [PATCH] ext4: retry failed direct IO allocations
On a 256M filesystem, doing this in a loop:

        xfs_io -F -f -d -c 'pwrite 0 64m' test
        rm -f test

eventually leads to ENOSPC.  (the xfs_io command does a
64m direct IO write to the file "test")

As with other block allocation callers, it looks like we need to
potentially retry the allocations on the initial ENOSPC.

d25ef8b86e ARM: 5728/1: Proper prefetch abort handling on ARMv6 and ARMv7
Currently, on ARMv6 and ARMv7, if an application tries to execute
code (or garbage) on non-executable page it hangs. It caused by
incorrect prefetch abort handling. Now every prefetch abort
processes as a translation fault.

To fix this we have to analyze instruction fault status register
to figure out reason why we've got the abort and process it
accordingly.

To make IFSR different from DFSR we set bit 31 which is reserved in
both IFSR and DFSR.

This patch also tries to protect from future hangs on unexpected
exceptions. An application will be killed if unexpected exception
type was received.

Instruction fault status register, IFSR, was introduced on ARMv6 to
provide status information about the last insturction fault. It
needed for proper prefetch abort handling.

Now we have three prefetch abort model:

  * legacy - for CPUs before ARMv6. They doesn't provide neither
    IFSR nor IFAR. We simulate IFSR with section translation fault
    status for them to generalize code;
  * ARMv6 - provides IFSR, but not IFAR;
  * ARMv7 - provides both IFSR and IFAR.

1d2235152d cfq-iosched: add a knob for desktop interactiveness
This is basically identical to what Vivek Goyal posted, but combined
into one and labelled 'desktop' instead of 'fairness'. The goal
is to continue to improve on the latency side of things as it relates
to interactiveness, keeping the questionable bits under this sysfs
tunable so it would be easy for throughput-only people to turn off.

Apart from adding the interactive sysfs knob, it also adds the
behavioural change of allowing slice idling even if the hardware
does tagged command queuing.

42324c6270 net: splice() from tcp to pipe should take into account O_NONBLOCK
tcp_splice_read() doesnt take into account socket's O_NONBLOCK flag

Before this patch :

splice(socket,0,pipe,0,128*1024,SPLICE_F_MOVE);
causes a random endless block (if pipe is full) and
splice(socket,0,pipe,0,128*1024,SPLICE_F_MOVE | SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK);
will return 0 immediately if the TCP buffer is empty.

User application has no way to instruct splice() that socket should be in blocking mode
but pipe in nonblock more.

Many projects cannot use splice(tcp -> pipe) because of this flaw.

Linus introduced  SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK in commit 29e350944f
(splice: add SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK flag )

  It doesn't make the splice itself necessarily nonblocking (because the
  actual file descriptors that are spliced from/to may block unless they
  have the O_NONBLOCK flag set), but it makes the splice pipe operations
  nonblocking.

Linus intention was clear : let SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK control the splice pipe mode only

This patch instruct tcp_splice_read() to use the underlying file O_NONBLOCK
flag, as other socket operations do.

Users will then call :

splice(socket,0,pipe,0,128*1024,SPLICE_F_MOVE | SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK );

to block on data coming from socket (if file is in blocking mode),
and not block on pipe output (to avoid deadlock)

Free an acpi_get_object_info() buffer when we're finished.  Skip the
acpi_get_name() altogether -- it was only used for a printk that was
really just for debug anyway.

08d1e63508 ALSA: usb - Use strlcat() correctly
Don't pass the advanced position to strlcat() but just gives the buffer
head position so that the max size limit can be checked correctly.
Introduced a new helper function to standaralize strlcat() calls.
