4b801bc969 mac80211: document client powersave
With the addition of uAPSD and driver buffering
the powersave handling has gotten quite complex.
Add a section to the documentation to explain it
for anyone wanting to implement it.

4302fbc8ec panic: panic=-1 for immediate reboot
When a kernel BUG or oops occurs, ChromeOS intends to panic and
immediately reboot, with stacktrace and other messages preserved in RAM
across reboot.

But the longer we delay, the more likely the user is to poweroff and
lose the info.

panic_timeout (seconds before rebooting) is set by panic= boot option or
sysctl or /proc/sys/kernel/panic; but 0 means wait forever, so at
present we have to delay at least 1 second.

Let a negative number mean reboot immediately (with the small cosmetic
benefit of suppressing that newline-less "Rebooting in %d seconds.."
message).

b34a6b1da3 ipc: introduce shm_rmid_forced sysctl
Add support for the shm_rmid_forced sysctl.  If set to 1, all shared
memory objects in current ipc namespace will be automatically forced to
use IPC_RMID.

The POSIX way of handling shmem allows one to create shm objects and
call shmdt(), leaving shm object associated with no process, thus
consuming memory not counted via rlimits.

With shm_rmid_forced=1 the shared memory object is counted at least for
one process, so OOM killer may effectively kill the fat process holding
the shared memory.

It obviously breaks POSIX - some programs relying on the feature would
stop working.  So set shm_rmid_forced=1 only if you're sure nobody uses
"orphaned" memory.  Use shm_rmid_forced=0 by default for compatability
reasons.

The feature was previously impemented in -ow as a configure option.

82f9d486e5 memcg: add memory.vmscan_stat
The commit log of 0ae5e89c60 ("memcg: count the soft_limit reclaim
in...") says it adds scanning stats to memory.stat file.  But it doesn't
because we considered we needed to make a concensus for such new APIs.

This patch is a trial to add memory.scan_stat. This shows
  - the number of scanned pages(total, anon, file)
  - the number of rotated pages(total, anon, file)
  - the number of freed pages(total, anon, file)
  - the number of elaplsed time (including sleep/pause time)

  for both of direct/soft reclaim.

The biggest difference with oringinal Ying's one is that this file
can be reset by some write, as

  # echo 0 ...../memory.scan_stat

Example of output is here. This is a result after make -j 6 kernel
under 300M limit.

total_xxxx is for hierarchy management.

This will be useful for further memcg developments and need to be
developped before we do some complicated rework on LRU/softlimit
management.

This patch adds a new struct memcg_scanrecord into scan_control struct.
sc->nr_scanned at el is not designed for exporting information.  For
example, nr_scanned is reset frequentrly and incremented +2 at scanning
mapped pages.

To avoid complexity, I added a new param in scan_control which is for
exporting scanning score.

0772a64079 hwmon: New driver sch5636
This patch adds a new driver for SMSC SCH5636 Super I/O chips.
The chips include an embedded microcontroller for hardware monitoring
solutions, allowing motherboard manufacturers to create their own
custom hwmon solution based upon the SCH5636.

Currently the sch5636 driver only supports the Fujitsu Theseus SCH5636
based hwmon solution. The sch5636 driver runs a sanity check on
loading to ensure it is dealing with a Fujitsu Theseus and not with
another custom SCH5636 based hwmon solution.

04fee895ef DRM: clean up and document parsing of video= parameter
The video= parameter of the DRM drivers supports some additional flags that
the normal fb drivers do not have. They also allow to limit these flags to
specific outputs. Both things were previously undocumented.

Also the parsing of the line had some oddities:
-A lot of misplaced options were silently ignored or partly rejected instead
 of stopping the parsing immediately
-The 'R' option is documented to follow the 'M' option if specified. It is not
 documented that 'M' is needed to specify 'R' (also this is the case for normal
 fb drivers). In fact the code is correct for normal fb drivers but wrong for
 DRM ones.
 The old code allowed 'R' only _before_ 'M' (since it parses backwards) and only
 if 'M' is given at all which is not needed for the DRM drivers.
-the margins option ('m') was parsed but later ignored even if the later
 functions support it.
-specifying multiple enable options at the same time did not lead to an error.
-specifying something bogus for horizontal resolution (i.e. other things as
 digits) did not lead to an error but an invalid resolution was used.

If any errors are encountered the position of the faulting string is now
printed to the user and the complete mode is ignored. This gives much
more consistent error behaviour.

I also removed some useless assignments and changed the local flag variables
to be bool.

5757a6d76c block: strict rq_affinity
Some systems benefit from completions always being steered to the strict
requester cpu rather than the looser "per-socket" steering that
blk_cpu_to_group() attempts by default. This is because the first
CPU in the group mask ends up being completely overloaded with work,
while the others (including the original submitter) has power left
to spare.

Allow the strict mode to be set by writing '2' to the sysfs control
file. This is identical to the scheme used for the nomerges file,
where '2' is a more aggressive setting than just being turned on.

echo 2 > /sys/block/<bdev>/queue/rq_affinity
