Pull pwm changes from Thierry Reding:
 "All legacy PWM providers have now been moved to the PWM subsystem.
  The plan for 3.8 is to adapt all board files to provide a lookup table
  for PWM devices in order to get rid of the global namespace.
  Subsequently, users of the legacy pwm_request() and pwm_free()
  functions can be migrated to the new pwm_get() and pwm_put()
  functions.  Once this has been completed, the legacy API and the
  compatibility code in the core can be removed.

  In addition to the above, these changes also add support for
  configuring the polarity of a PWM signal (currently only supported on
  ECAP and EHRPWM) and include a much needed rework of the i.MX driver.
  Managed functions to obtain and release a PWM device (devm_pwm_get()
  and devm_pwm_put()) have been added and the pwm-backlight driver has
  been updated to use them.  If the PWM subsystem hasn't been enabled,
  dummy functions are provided that allow the subsystem to safely
  compile out.

  Some common checks on input parameters have been moved to the core and
  removed from the drivers.  Finally, a small fix corrects the
  description of the PWM specifier's second cell in the device tree
  representation."

mm: kill vma flag VM_RESERVED and mm->reserved_vm counter

2012-10-09T07:22:19+00:00

A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:

 | effect                 | alternative flags
-+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
2| skip in core dump      | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
4| do not mlock           | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP

This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct.  Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.

Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

Merge branch 'for-3.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq

2012-10-02T16:54:49+00:00

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
 "This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1.  A lot of activities this
  round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.

   * delayed_work combines a timer and a work item.  The handling of the
     timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
     cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors.  delayed_work is
     updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
     expected.

   * Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
     mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
     timer+work usages.  mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.

     These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
     and behave like timer which is executed with process context.

   * A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
     is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
     half-broken under certain circumstances.  This problem doesn't
     exist for non-reentrant workqueues.  While non-reentrancy check
     isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
     across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
     the overhead isn't too high.

     All workqueues are made non-reentrant.  This removes the
     distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
     flush_[delayed_]_work_sync().  The former is now as strong as the
     latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
     execution of any previous queueing on return.

   * In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
     hotplug handling significantly.

   * Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
     hotplug.

  There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
  tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
  wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."

Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts
were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new
code in the merge window, and thus didn't cause any real data conflicts.

Tejun pointed out a few of them, I fixed a couple more.

Pull TTY changes from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
 "As we skipped the merge window for 3.6-rc1 for the tty tree,
  everything is now settled down and working properly, so we are ready
  for 3.7-rc1.  Here's the patchset, it's big, but the large changes are
  removing a firmware file and adding a staging tty driver (it depended
  on the tty core changes, so it's going through this tree instead of
  the staging tree.)

  All of these patches have been in the linux-next tree for a while.

drivers/misc/lis3lv02d/lis3lv02d_i2c.c: add lis3lv02d device tree init

2012-09-26T21:18:48+00:00

Add lis3lv02d device tree initialization code/API to take pdata from
device node.  Also adds device tree init matching table support to
lis3lv02d_i2c driver.  If the driver data is passed from device tree, then
this driver picks up platform data from device node through common/generic
lis3lv02d.c driver.

parameters are missing if we use lis3lv02d_init_device() in lis3lv02d_i2c

2012-09-26T21:17:42+00:00

If probed from a device tree, this driver now passes the node information
to the generic part, so the runtime information can be derived.

Successfully tested on a PXA3xx board.

drivers/misc/lis3lv02d: add generic DT matching code

2012-09-26T21:15:55+00:00

Adds logic to parse lis3 properties from a device tree node and store them
in a freshly allocated lis3lv02d_platform_data.

Note that the actual match tables are left out here.  This part should
happen in the drivers that bind to the individual busses (SPI/I2C/PCI).

Also adds some DT bindinds documentation.
