Someone (over a year ago :-p) asked me to document localmodconfig in the
README file in the source code. I thought it was a good idea but other
things were more important and I simply forgot about it. Well, I
stumbled on the email asking me about this and I'm sending it out now.Signed-off-by: Steven "Mr. Procrastinator" Rostedt

"This is the first chunk of ARM updates for this merge window.
Conflicts are expected in two files - asm/timex.h and
mach-integrator/integrator_cp.c. Nothing particularly stands out more

Pull late ARM soc platform updates from Olof Johansson:
"This branch contains updates to OMAP and Marvell platforms (kirkwood,

Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
"The first part of the media updates for Kernel 3.7.This series contain:
- A major tree renaming patch series: now, drivers are organized
internally by their used bus, instead of by V4L2 and/or DVB API,
providing a cleaner driver location for hybrid drivers that
implement both APIs, and allowing to cleanup the Kconfig items and
make them more intuitive for the end user;- Media Kernel developers are typically very lazy with their duties
of keeping the MAINTAINERS entries for their drivers updated. As
now the tree is more organized, we're doing an effort to add/update
those entries for the drivers that aren't currently orphan;- Several DVB USB drivers got moved to a new DVB USB v2 core; the new
core fixes several bugs (as the existing one that got bitroted).
Now, suspend/resume finally started to work fine (at least with
some devices - we should expect more work with regards to it);- added multistream support for DVB-T2, and unified the API for
DVB-S2 and ISDB-S. Backward binary support is preserved;- as usual, a few new drivers, some V4L2 core improvements and lots
of drivers improvements and fixes.There are some points to notice on this series:
1) you should expect a trivial merge conflict on your tree, with the
removal of Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt: this series
would be adding two additional entries there. I opted to not
rebase it due to this recent change;2) With regards to the PCTV 520e udev-related breakage, I opted to
fix it in a way that the patches can be backported to 3.5 even
without your firmware fix patch. This way, Greg doesn't need to
rush backporting your patch (as there are still the firmware cache
and firmware path customization issues to be addressed there).I'll send later a patch (likely after the end of the merge window)
reverting the rest of the DRX-K async firmware request, fully
restoring its original behaviour to allow media drivers to
initialize everything serialized as before for 3.7 and upper.3) I'm planning to work on this weekend to test the DMABUF patches
for V4L2. The patches are on my queue for several Kernel cycles,
but, up to now, there is/was no way to test the series locally.I have some concerns about this particular changeset with regards
to security issues, and with regards to the replacement of the old
VIDIOC_OVERLAY ioctl's that is broken on modern systems, due to
GPU drivers change. The Overlay API allows direct PCI2PCI
transfers from a media capture card into the GPU framebuffer, but
its API is crappy. Also, the only existing X11 driver that
implements it requires a XV extension that is not available
anymore on modern drivers. The DMABUF can do the same thing, but
with it is promising to be a properly-designed API. If I can
successfully test this series and be happy with it, I should be
asking you to pull them next week."* 'v4l_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media: (717 commits)

Pull UAPI disintegration fixes from David Howells:
"There are three main parts:(1) I found I needed some more fixups in the wake of testing Arm64
(some asm/unistd.h files had weird guards that caused problems -
mostly in arches for which I don't have a compiler) and some
__KERNEL__ splitting needed to take place in Arm64.(2) I found that c6x was missing some __KERNEL__ guards in its
asm/signal.h. Mark Salter pointed me at a tree with a patch to
remove that file entirely and use the asm-generic variant instead.(3) Lastly, m68k turned out to have a header installation problem due
to it lacking a kvm_para.h file.The conditional installation bits for linux/kvm_para.h, linux/kvm.h
and linux/a.out.h weren't very well specified - and didn't work if
an arch didn't have the asm/ version of that file, but there *was*
an asm-generic/ version.It seems the "ifneq $((wildcard ...),)" for each of those three
headers in include/kernel/Kbuild is invoked twice during header
installation, and the second time it matches on the just installed
asm-generic/kvm_para.h file and thus incorrectly installs
linux/kvm_para.h as well.Most arches actually have an asm/kvm_para.h, so this wasn't
detectable in those."* 'uapi-prep' of git://git.infradead.org/users/dhowells/linux-headers:

Pull ADM Xen support from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
Features:
* Allow a Linux guest to boot as initial domain and as normal guests
on Xen on ARM (specifically ARMv7 with virtualized extensions). PV
console, block and network frontend/backends are working.
Bug-fixes:
* Fix compile linux-next fallout.
* Fix PVHVM bootup crashing.The Xen-unstable hypervisor (so will be 4.3 in a ~6 months), supports
ARMv7 platforms.The goal in implementing this architecture is to exploit the hardware
as much as possible. That means use as little as possible of PV
operations (so no PV MMU) - and use existing PV drivers for I/Os
(network, block, console, etc). This is similar to how PVHVM guests
operate in X86 platform nowadays - except that on ARM there is no need
for QEMU. The end result is that we share a lot of the generic Xen
drivers and infrastructure.Details on how to compile/boot/etc are available at this Wiki:
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_ARMv7_with_Virtualization_Extensions
and this blog has links to a technical discussion/presentations on the
overall architecture:http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2012/09/21/xensummit-sessions-new-pvh-virtualisation-mode-for-arm-cortex-a15arm-servers-and-x86/

…implify', 'turbostat' and 'usb3' into release
add acpidump utility
intel_idle driver now supports IVB Xeon
turbostat can now count SMIs
ACPI can now bind to USB3 hubs
misc fixes -
Add support to export the device description obtained from the ACPI _STR
method, if one exists for a device, to user-space via a sysfs interface.
This new interface provides a standard and platform neutral way for users
to obtain the description text stored in the ACPI _STR method. If no
_STR method exists for the device, no sysfs 'description' file will be
created. The 'description' file will be located in the /sys/devices/
directory using the device's path./sys/device///.../firmware_node/description
Example:
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00.07.0/0000:0e:00.0/firmware_node/description
It can also be located using the ACPI device path, for example:
/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/ACPI0004:00/PNP0A08:00/device:13/device:15/description
/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/ACPI0004:00/ACPI0004:01/ACPI0007:02/descriptionExecute the 'cat' command on the 'description' file to obtain the
description string for that device.This patch also includes documentation describing how the new sysfs
interface worksChanges from v1-v2 based on comments by Len Brown and Fengguang Wu
* Removed output "No Description" and leaving a NULL attribute if the
_STR method failed to evaluate.* In acpi_device_remove_files() removed the redundent check of
dev->pnp.str_obj before calling free. This check triggered a message
from smatch.Signed-off-by: Lance Ortiz

Now that i2c-mux-gpio is able to find the GPIO chip by itself, we can
delegate this task. The great thing here is that i2c-mux-gpio can
defer device probing until the gpio chip is available, so we no longer
depend on the module loading order.Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare

* Document the possibility to pass relative GPIO pin numbers.
* Document what platform device IDs to use, so that they do not
collide.Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare
Cc: Peter Korsgaard -
The code instantiating an i2c-mux-gpio platform device doesn't
necessarily know in advance the GPIO pin numbers it wants to use. If
pins are on a GPIO device which gets its base GPIO number assigned
dynamically at run-time, the values can't be hard-coded.In that case, let the caller tell i2c-mux-gpio the name of the GPIO
chip and the (relative) GPIO pin numbers to use. At probe time, the
i2c-mux-gpio driver will look for the chip and apply the proper offset
to turn relative GPIO pin numbers to absolute GPIO pin numbers.The same could be (and was so far) done on the caller's end, however
doing it in i2c-mux-gpio has two benefits:
* It avoids duplicating the code on every caller's side (about 30
lines of code.)
* It allows for deferred probing for the muxed part of the I2C bus
only. If finding the GPIO chip is the caller's responsibility, then
deferred probing (if the GPIO chip isn't there yet) will not only
affect the mux and the I2C bus segments behind it, but also the I2C
bus trunk.Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare

Add support for SMBus multiplexing on Asus Z8 motherboard series. On
these boards, the memory slots are behind a GPIO-controlled I2C
multiplexer. Models with 6 or 12 memory slots have 2 segments behind
the multiplexer, while models with 18 memory slots have 3 such
segments.On these boards, only the memory slots are behind the multiplexer,
so it is possible to keep the autodetection mechanism.The code is generic enough so it could work on other boards as long as
the multiplexer is controlled by GPIO pins. For other forms of
multiplexing (for example using an I2C device) additional code will be
needed.Thanks to Asus for providing a board to develop and test this feature,
as well as all the technical information required.At the moment, the GPIO driver must be loaded before the i2c-i801
driver, but I hope to solve this soon, using deferred probing on
the i2c-mux-gpio side.Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare

Remove the global dependency of the I2C subsystem on HAS_IOMEM and
move the dependency to the i2c/busses submenu, with an exception for
i2c-stub.The generic I2C part does not need to have HAS_IOMEM set and thus now
becomes available in UML, so the I2C subsystem can now be used, e.g.
by the i2c-stub driver, for development of I2C device drivers.[JD: Some adjustments.]

Converting kzalloc to devm_kzalloc simplifies the code and ensures that the
result, alert, is freed after the irq allocated by the subsequent
devm_request_irq. This in turn ensures that when an interrupt can be
triggered, the alert structure is still available.The problem of a free after a devm_request_irq was found using the
following semantic match (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)//

Let I2C bus segments behind multiplexers have a class. This allows for
device auto-detection on these segments. As long as parent segments
don't share the same class, it should be fine.I implemented support in drivers i2c-mux-gpio and i2c-mux-pca954x. I
left i2c-mux-pca9541 and i2c-mux-pinctrl alone for the moment as I
don't know if this feature makes sense for the use cases of these
drivers.Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare
