Here's a tiny patch making a few esthetic changes to
Documentation/laptop-mode.txt
To me this patch makes sense, but feel free to disagree, I don't feel
strongly about it at all.
It changes a single URL to its strictly correct form (directories should
end in /), and it makes the arguments to main in an included example
program follow convention and be named argc and argv.

Various PCI bus errors can be signaled by newer PCI controllers.
Recovering from those errors requires an infrastructure to notify
affected device drivers of the error, and a way of walking through
a reset sequence. This patch adds documentation describing the
current error recovery proposal.

idr gently pointed out today that not only is the sysfs rom file
interface somewhat unintuitive (despite my efforts and initial
implementation), but it's also undocumented! This patch to
Documentation/filesystems/sysfs-pci.txt corrects the latter problem; the
former is a userland ABI now though, so we're stuck with it for awhile
at least.

This is a major update to the cyblafb framebuffer driver. Most
of the stuff has been tested in the mm tree.
Main advantages:
============
- vxres > xres support
- ywrap and xpan support
- much faster for almost all modes (e.g. 1280x1024-16bpp
draws more than 41 full screens of text instead of about 25
full screens of text per second on authors Epia 5000)
- module init/exit code fixed
- bugs triggered by console rotation fixed
- lots of minor improvements
- startup modes suitable for high performance scrolling
in all directions
This diff also contains a lot of white space fixes.
No side effects are possible, only one single graphics core is affected.

I couldn't find any docs explaining the contents of /sys/block/<dev>/stat,
so I wrote up the following. I'm not completely sure it's accurate - Jens,
could you give a yea or nay on this?
In particular, the counts of read/write IOs and read/write sectors are
incremented in different places - it looks like they both increment as the
request is being finished, but I'm not completely sure of that.

Make it possible for a running process (such as gssapid) to be able to
instantiate a key, as was requested by Trond Myklebust for NFS4.
The patch makes the following changes:
(1) A new, optional key type method has been added. This permits a key type
to intercept requests at the point /sbin/request-key is about to be
spawned and do something else with them - passing them over the
rpc_pipefs files or netlink sockets for instance.
The uninstantiated key, the authorisation key and the intended operation
name are passed to the method.
(2) The callout_info is no longer passed as an argument to /sbin/request-key
to prevent unauthorised viewing of this data using ps or by looking in
/proc/pid/cmdline.
This means that the old /sbin/request-key program will not work with the
patched kernel as it will expect to see an extra argument that is no
longer there.
A revised keyutils package will be made available tomorrow.
(3) The callout_info is now attached to the authorisation key. Reading this
key will retrieve the information.
(4) A new field has been added to the task_struct. This holds the
authorisation key currently active for a thread. Searches now look here
for the caller's set of keys rather than looking for an auth key in the
lowest level of the session keyring.
This permits a thread to be servicing multiple requests at once and to
switch between them. Note that this is per-thread, not per-process, and
so is usable in multithreaded programs.
The setting of this field is inherited across fork and exec.
(5) A new keyctl function (KEYCTL_ASSUME_AUTHORITY) has been added that
permits a thread to assume the authority to deal with an uninstantiated
key. Assumption is only permitted if the authorisation key associated
with the uninstantiated key is somewhere in the thread's keyrings.
This function can also clear the assumption.
(6) A new magic key specifier has been added to refer to the currently
assumed authorisation key (KEY_SPEC_REQKEY_AUTH_KEY).
(7) Instantiation will only proceed if the appropriate authorisation key is
assumed first. The assumed authorisation key is discarded if
instantiation is successful.
(8) key_validate() is moved from the file of request_key functions to the
file of permissions functions.
(9) The documentation is updated.
