Most arches define CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE exactly the same way.  Move it
to lib/Kconfig.debug so each arch doesn't have to define it.  This
obviously makes the option generic, but that's fine because the config is
already used in generic code.

It's not obvious to me that sysrq-P actually does anything caution by
keeping the most inclusive wording.

There is quite a lot of code which does copy_from_user() + strict_strto*()
or simple_strto*() combo in slightly different ways.

Before doing conversions all over tree, let's get final API correct.

Enter kstrtoull_from_user() and friends.

Typical code which uses them looks very simple:

	TYPE val;
	int rv;

	rv = kstrtoTYPE_from_user(buf, count, 0, &val);
	if (rv < 0)
		return rv;
	[use val]
	return count;

There is a tiny semantic difference from the plain kstrto*() API -- the
latter allows any amount of leading zeroes, while the former copies data
into buffer on stack and thus allows leading zeroes as long as it fits
into buffer.

This shouldn't be a problem for typical usecase "echo 42 > /proc/x".

The point is to make reading one integer from userspace _very_ simple and
very bug free.

This function makes a deep copy of the platform data to allow it to live
in init memory.  For a kernel that supports several machines and so
includes the definition for several leds-gpio devices this saves quite
some memory because all but one definition can be free'd after boot.

As the function is used by arch code it must be builtin and so cannot go
into leds-gpio.c.

Allow unused leds on pca9532 to be used as gpio.  The board I am working
on now has no less than 6 pca9532 chips.  One chips is used for only leds,
one has 14 leds and 2 gpio and the rest of the chips are gpio only.

There is also one board in mainline which could use this capabilty;
arch/arm/mach-iop32x/n2100.c
 232         {       .type = PCA9532_TYPE_NONE }, /* power OFF gpio */
 233         {       .type = PCA9532_TYPE_NONE }, /* reset gpio */

This patch defines a new pin type, PCA9532_TYPE_GPIO, and registers a
gpiochip if any pin has this type set.  The gpio will registers all chip
pins but will filter on gpio_request.

By setting initial values blink_delay_on and blink_delay_off in a
led_classdev struct, this change starts the blinking when the led is
initialized.

With this patch, you can initialize blink_delay_on and blink_delay_off in
led_classdev with default_trigger set to "timer", and the led will start
up blinking.  The current ledtrig-timer implementation ignores any initial
blink_delay_on/blink_delay_off settings, and requires setting
blink_delay_on/blink_delay_off (typically from userspace) before the led
blinks.

On kernels without memblock, a later call to setup_log_buf from

On larger systems, information in the kernel log is lost because there is
so much early text printed, that it overflows the static log buffer before
the log_buf_len kernel parameter can be processed, and a bigger log buffer
allocated.

Distros are relunctant to increase memory usage by increasing the size of
the static log buffer, so minimize the problem by allocating the new log

A fix to the TSC (Time Stamp Counter) based bogoMIPS calculation used on
secondary CPUs which has two faults:

1: Not handling wrapping of the lower 32 bits of the TSC counter on
   32bit kernel - perhaps TSC is not reset by a warm reset?

2: TSC and Jiffies are no incrementing together properly.  Either
   jiffies increment too quickly or Time Stamp Counter isn't incremented
   in during an SMI but the real time clock is and jiffies are
   incremented.

Case 1 can result in a factor of 16 too large a value which makes udelay()
values too small and can cause mysterious driver errors.  Case 2 appears
to give smaller 10-15% errors after averaging but enough to cause
occasional failures on my own board

I have tested this code on my own branch and attach patch suitable for
current kernel code.  See below for examples of the failures and how the
fix handles these situations now.

I reported this issue earlier here:
     Intermittent problem with BogoMIPs calculation on Intel AP CPUs -
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=129947246316875&w=4

I suspect this issue has been seen by others but as it is intermittent and
bogoMIPS for secondary CPUs are no longer printed out it might have been
difficult to identify this as the cause.  Perhaps these unresolved issues,
although quite old, might be relevant as possibly this fault has been
around for a while.  In particular Case 1 may only be relevant to 32bit
kernels on newer HW (most people run 64bit kernels?).  Case 2 is less
dramatic since the earlier fix in this area and also intermittent.

   Re: Re: [RFC-PATCH] clocksource: update lpj if clocksource has -
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=128952775819467&w=4

This issue is masked a little by commit feae3203 ("timers, init:
Limit the number of per cpu calibration bootup messages") which only
prints out the first bogoMIPS value making it much harder to notice other
values differing.  Perhaps it should be changed to only suppress them when
they are similar values?

Here are some outputs showing faults occurring and the new code handling
them properly.  See my earlier message for examples of the original
failure.

af4f1360 ("security: move LSM xattrnames to xattr.h") moved the
XATTR_CAPS_SUFFIX define from capability.h to xattr.h.  This makes sense
except it was previously exports to userspace but xattr.h does not export
it to userspace.  This patch exports these headers to userspace to fix the
ABI regression.

There is some slight possibility that this will cause problems in other
applications which used these #defines differently (wrongly) and I could
JUST export the capabilities xattr name that we broke.  Does anyonehave an
idea how exposing these headers could cause a problem?

Below is what is being exposed to userspace, included here since it isn't
clear exactly what is going to be made available from the patch.

Manually adjusting the smp_affinity for IRQ's becomes unwieldy when the
cpu count is large.

Setting smp affinity to cpus 256 to 263 would be:

	echo 000000ff,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000 > smp_affinity

instead of:

	echo 256-263 > smp_affinity_list

Think about what it looks like for cpus around say, 4088 to 4095.

We already have many alternate "list" interfaces:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/indexY/shared_cpu_list
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings_list
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings_list
/sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/cpulist
/sys/devices/pci***/***/local_cpulist

Add a companion interface, smp_affinity_list to use cpu lists instead of
cpu maps.  This conforms to other companion interfaces where both a map
and a list interface exists.

This required adding a bitmap_parselist_user() function in a manner
similar to the bitmap_parse_user() function.

The presense of a writeq() implementation on 32-bit x86 that splits the
64-bit write into two 32-bit writes turns out to break the mpt2sas driver
(and in general is risky for drivers as was discussed in
<http://lkml.kernel.org/r/adaab6c1h7c.fsf@cisco.com>).  To fix this,
revert 2c5643b1 ("x86: provide readq()/writeq() on 32-bit too") and
follow-on cleanups.

This unfortunately leads to pushing non-atomic definitions of readq() and
write() to various x86-only drivers that in the meantime started using the
definitions in the x86 version of <asm/io.h>.  However as discussed
exhaustively, this is actually the right thing to do, because the right
way to split a 64-bit transaction is hardware dependent and therefore
belongs in the hardware driver (eg mpt2sas needs a spinlock to make sure
no other accesses occur in between the two halves of the access).

Build tested on 32- and 64-bit x86 allmodconfig.

Apps are increasingly using more than 1024 file descriptors.  See
discussion in several distro bug trackers, e.g.  BugLink:
http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/663090
https://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-2054

You don't want to raise the default soft limit, since that might break
apps that use select(), but it's safe to raise the default hard limit;
that way, apps that know they need lots of file descriptors can raise
their soft limit without needing root, and without user intervention.

Ubuntu is doing this with a kernel change because they have a policy of
not changing kernel defaults in userland.

While 4096 might not be enough for *all* apps, it seems to be plenty for
the apps I've seen lately that are unhappy with 1024.
