While learning about schedstats I found that the documentation in the tree
is old. I updated it and found some interesting stuff like schedstats
version 14 is the same as version and version 13 never saw a kernel
release! Also there are 6 fields in the current schedstats that are not
used anymore. Nick had made them irrelevant in commit
476d139c21 but never removed them.
Thanks to Rick's perl script who I borrowed some of the updated descriptions
from.

"acpi_no_auto_ssdt" prevents Linux from automatically loading
all the SSDTs listed in the RSDT/XSDT.
This is needed for debugging. In particular,
it allows a DSDT override to optionally be a DSDT+SSDT override.

S.Caglar Onur points out that many distributions don't ship a static
zlib. Unfortunately the launcher currently maps virtual device memory
where shared libraries want to go.
The solution is to pre-scan the args to figure out how much memory we
have, then allocate devices above that, rather than down from the top
possible address. This also turns out to be simpler.

It appears that Lenovo decided to break the EC brightness control interface
in a weird way in their latest BIOSes. Fortunately, the old CMOS NVRAM
interface works just fine in such BIOSes.
Add a module parameter that allows the user to select which strategy to use
for brightness control: EC, NVRAM, or both. By default, do both (which is
the way thinkpad-acpi used to work until now) on IBM ThinkPads, and use
NVRAM only on Lenovo ThinkPads.

Add input device support to the hotkey subdriver.
Hot keys that have a valid keycode mapping are reported through the input
layer if the input device is open. Otherwise, they will be reported as
ACPI events, as they were before.
Scan codes are reported (using EV_MSC MSC_SCAN events) along with EV_KEY
KEY_UNKNOWN events.
For backwards compatibility purposes, hot keys that used to be reported
through ACPI events are not mapped to anything meaningful by default.
Userspace is supposed to remap them if it wants to use the input device for
hot key reporting.

Some ThinkPad models, notably the T60 and X60, have a slider switch to
enable and disable the radios. The switch has the capability of
force-disabling the radios in hardware on most models, and it is supposed
to affect all radios (WLAN, WWAN, BlueTooth).
Export the switch state as a sysfs attribute, on ThinkPads where it is
available.
Thanks to Henning Schild for asking for this feature, and for tracking down

The firmware knows how many hot keys it supports, so export this
information in a sysfs attribute.
And the driver knows which keys are always handled by the firmware in all
known ThinkPad models too, so export this information as well in a sysfs
attribute. Unless you know which events need to be handled in a passive
way, do *not* enable hotkeys that are always handled by the firmware.

Revise ACPI HKEY functionality to better interface with the firmware, and
enable up to 32 regular hotkeys, instead of just 16 of them. Ouch.
This takes care of most keys one used to have to do CMOS NVRAM polling on,
and should drop the need for tpb, thinkpad-keys, and other such 5Hz NVRAM
polling power vampires on most modern ThinkPads ;-)
And, just to add insult to injury, this was sort of working since forever
through the procfs interface, but nobody noticed or tried an echo
0xffffffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey and told me it would generate weird
events. ARGH!
Thanks to Richard Hughes for kicking off the work that ended up with this
discovery, and to Matthew Garret for calling my attention to the fact that
newer ThinkPads were indeed generating ACPI GPEs when such hot keys were
pressed.

Background:
The MCE handler has several paths that it can take, depending on various
conditions of the MCE status and the value of the 'tolerant' knob. The
exact semantics are not well defined and the code is a bit twisty.
Description:
This patch makes the MCE handler's behavior more clear by documenting the
behavior for various 'tolerant' levels. It also fixes or enhances
several small things in the handler. Specifically:
* If RIPV is set it is not safe to restart, so set the 'no way out'
flag rather than the 'kill it' flag.
* Don't panic() on correctable MCEs.
* If the _OVER bit is set *and* the _UC bit is set (meaning possibly
dropped uncorrected errors), set the 'no way out' flag.
* Use EIPV for testing whether an app can be killed (SIGBUS) rather
than RIPV. According to docs, EIPV indicates that the error is
related to the IP, while RIPV simply means the IP is valid to
restart from.
* Don't clear the MCi_STATUS registers until after the panic() path.
This leaves the status bits set after the panic() so clever BIOSes
can find them (and dumb BIOSes can do nothing).
This patch also calls nonseekable_open() in mce_open (as suggested by akpm).
Result:
Tolerant levels behave almost identically to how they always have, but
not it's well defined. There's a slightly higher chance of panic()ing
when multiple errors happen (a good thing, IMHO). If you take an MBE and
panic(), the error status bits are not cleared.
Alternatives:
None.
Testing:
I used software to inject correctable and uncorrectable errors. With
tolerant = 3, the system usually survives. With tolerant = 2, the system
usually panic()s (PCC) but not always. With tolerant = 1, the system
always panic()s. When the system panic()s, the BIOS is able to detect
that the cause of death was an MC4. I was not able to reproduce the
case of a non-PCC error in userspace, with EIPV, with (tolerant < 3).
That will be rare at best.

This implements new vDSO for x86-64. The concept is similar
to the existing vDSOs on i386 and PPC. x86-64 has had static
vsyscalls before, but these are not flexible enough anymore.
A vDSO is a ELF shared library supplied by the kernel that is mapped into
user address space. The vDSO mapping is randomized for each process
for security reasons.
Doing this was needed for clock_gettime, because clock_gettime
always needs a syscall fallback and having one at a fixed
address would have made buffer overflow exploits too easy to write.
The vdso can be disabled with vdso=0
It currently includes a new gettimeofday implemention and optimized
clock_gettime(). The gettimeofday implementation is slightly faster
than the one in the old vsyscall. clock_gettime is significantly faster
than the syscall for CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_REALTIME.
The new calls are generally faster than the old vsyscall.
Advantages over the old x86-64 vsyscalls:
- Extensible
- Randomized
- Cleaner
- Easier to virtualize (the old static address range previously causes
overhead e.g. for Xen because it has to create special page tables for it)
Weak points:
- glibc support still to be written
The VM interface is partly based on Ingo Molnar's i386 version.
