It turned out that it is almost impossible to trust ACPI, BIOS & Co.
regarding the C states. This was the reason to switch the local apic
timer off in C2 state already. OTOH there are sane and well behaving
systems, which get punished by that decision.
Allow the user to confirm that the local apic timer is trustworthy in C2
state. This keeps the default behaviour on the safe side.

The local APIC timer stops to work in deeper C-States. This is handled by
the ACPI code and a broadcast mechanism in the clockevents / tick managment
code.
Some systems do not expose the deeper C-States to the kernel, but switch
into deeper C-States behind the kernels back. This delays the local apic
timer interrupts for ever and makes the systems unusable.
Add a command line option to disable the local apic timer and a dmi
quirk for known broken systems.
Andi sayeth:
While not wrong by itself i think it is still better to use some heuristic
-- like "has battery in ACPI" With the DMI table if the problem is more wide
spread we will just continue extending it.
But anyways should be ok now for .21 although I'm not really happy with
it.

there is a tiny bug in Documentation/crypto/api-intro.txt.
The file has the following example code:
struct scatterlist sg[2];
[...]
if (crypto_hash_digest(&desc, &sg, 2, result))
which does not match the declaration of crypto_hash_digest() in
include/linux/crypto.h.
(static inline int crypto_hash_digest(struct hash_desc *desc,
struct scatterlist *sg, unsigned int nbytes, u8 *out)
The code in the example passes the address of a pointer (an array actually) as
the second argument, while the function expects the pointer itself.
I have attached a patch to fix this.

It's been pointed out that output GPIOs should have an initial value, to
avoid signal glitching ... among other things, it can be some time before
a driver is ready. This patch corrects that oversight, fixing
- documentation
- platforms supporting the GPIO interface
- users of that call (just one for now, others are pending)
There's only one user of this call for now since most platforms are still
using non-generic GPIO setup code, which in most cases already couples the
initial value with its "set output mode" request.
Note that most platforms are clear about the hardware letting the output
value be set before the pin direction is changed, but the s3c241x docs are
vague on that topic ... so those chips might not avoid the glitches.

This patch updates booting-without-of.txt to describe version 17 of
the flattened device tree format. Version 17 is a small, backwards
compatible change from version 16, adding an extra field giving the
size of the device tree's structure block. At this time, the kernel
has no use for the extra information, however its presence can make
life easier for bootloaders or other software manipulating the tree.
In addition this patch adds information on the size_dt_strings field
of the device tree header, present since version 3 of the flattened
tree format, but omitted from the documentation. It also makes
changes to consistently refer to versions 16 and 17 as versions 16 and
17 in decimal, rather than version 0x10 which was occasionally used
for version 16 previously.
Finally, we also add the new field to the definition of the device
tree header structure in prom.h

Provide a module param "pool_mode" for sunrpc.ko which allows a sysadmin to
choose the mode for mapping NFS thread service pools to CPUs. Values are:
auto choose a mapping mode heuristically
global (default, same as the pre-2.6.19 code) a single global pool
percpu one pool per CPU
pernode one pool per NUMA node
Note that since 2.6.19 the hardcoded behaviour has been "auto", this patch
makes the default "global".
The pool mode can be changed after boot/modprobe using /sys, if the NFS and
lockd services have been shut down. A useful side effect of this change is to
fix a small memory leak when unloading the module.

This patch (as859) makes the default USB autosuspend delay a module
parameter of usbcore. By setting the delay value at boot time, users
will be able to prevent the system from autosuspending devices which
for some reason can't handle it.
The patch also stores the autosuspend delay as a per-device value. A
later patch will allow the user to change the value, tailoring the
delay for each individual device. A delay value of 0 will prevent
autosuspend.

simple_prepare_write leaks uninitialised kernel data. This happens because
the it leaves an uninitialised "hole" over the part of the page that the
write is expected to go to. This is fine, but it then marks the page
uptodate, which means a concurrent read can come in and copy the
uninitialised memory into userspace before it written to.
Fix it by simply marking it uptodate in simple_commit_write instead, after
the hole has been filled in. This could theoretically break an fs that
uses simple_prepare_write and not simple_commit_write, and that relies on
the incorrect simple_prepare_write behaviour. Luckily, none of those
exists in the tree.
