d944d549aa ARM: allow alignment fault mode to be configured at kernel boot
Some glibc versions intentionally create lots of alignment faults in
their gconv code, which if not fixed up, results in segfaults during
boot.  This can prevent systems booting properly.

There is no clear hard-configurable default for this; the desired
default depends on the nature of the userspace which is going to be
booted.

So, provide a way for the alignment fault handler to be configured via
the kernel command line.

d7f0eea9e4 ACPI: introduce kernel parameter acpi_sleep=sci_force_enable
Introduce kernel parameter acpi_sleep=sci_force_enable

some laptop requires SCI_EN being set directly on resume,
or else they hung somewhere in the resume code path.

We already have a blacklist for these laptops but we still need
this option, especially when debugging some suspend/resume problems,
in case there are systems that need this workaround and are not yet
in the blacklist.

15ac7afe51 omap: mux: Add new style pin multiplexing code for omap3
Initially only for 34xx. This code allows us to:

- Make the code more generic as the omap internal signal
  names can stay the same across omap generations for some
  devices

- Map mux registers to GPIO registers that is needed for
  dynamic muxing of pins during off-idle

- Override bootloader mux values via kernel cmdline using
  omap_mux=some.signa1=0x1234,some.signal2=0x1234

- View and set the mux registers via debugfs if
  CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is enabled

a0bb108112 USB: usb-storage: add BAD_SENSE flag
This patch (as1311) fixes a problem in usb-storage: Some devices are
pretty broken when it comes to reporting sense data.  The information
they send back indicates that they have more than 18 bytes of sense
data available, but when the system asks for more than 18 they fail or
hang.  The symptom is that probing fails with multiple resets.

The patch adds a new BAD_SENSE flag to indicate that usb-storage
should never ask for more than 18 bytes of sense data.  The flag can
be set in an unusual_devs entry or via the "quirks=" module parameter,
and it is set automatically whenever a REQUEST SENSE command for more
than 18 bytes fails or times out.

An unusual_devs entry is added for the Agfa photo frame, which uses a
Prolific chip having this bug.

f84d49b218 signal: Print warning message when dropping signals
When the system has too many timers or too many aggregate
queued signals, the EAGAIN error is returned to application
from kernel, including timer_create() [POSIX.1b].

It means that the app exceeded the limit of pending signals,
but in general application writers do not expect this
outcome and the current silent failure can cause rare app
failures under very high load.

This patch adds a new message when we reach the limit
and if print_fatal_signals is enabled:

    task/1234: reached RLIMIT_SIGPENDING, dropping signal

If you see this message and your system behaved unexpectedly,
you can run following command to lift the limit:

   # ulimit -i unlimited

f86dcc5aa8 udp: dynamically size hash tables at boot time
UDP_HTABLE_SIZE was initialy defined to 128, which is a bit small for
several setups.

4000 active UDP sockets -> 32 sockets per chain in average. An
incoming frame has to lookup all sockets to find best match, so long
chains hurt latency.

Instead of a fixed size hash table that cant be perfect for every
needs, let UDP stack choose its table size at boot time like tcp/ip
route, using alloc_large_system_hash() helper

Add an optional boot parameter, uhash_entries=x so that an admin can
force a size between 256 and 65536 if needed, like thash_entries and
rhash_entries.

dmesg logs two new lines :
[    0.647039] UDP hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes)
[    0.647099] UDP Lite hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes)

Maximal size on 64bit arches would be 65536 slots, ie 1 MBytes for non
debugging spinlocks.

ea3acb199a x86: earlyprintk: Fix regression to handle serial,ttySn as 1 arg
Commit c953094 ("early_printk: Allow more than one early console")
introduced a regression in the parsing of the earlyprintk= kernel
arguments.

If you specify "earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200" as a kernel
argument, the "serial,ttyS" should be parsed as a single argument
and not as "serial" and then "ttyS".

Also update the documentation to reflect you can specify the ttyS
directly without the "serial" argument.

3209e70e5e MIPS: Loongson: Add a machtype kernel command line argument
The difference between some loongson-based machines is very small, so, if
there is no necessary to add new kernel config options to cope with this
difference, it will be better to share the same kernel image file between
them, benefit from this, the linux distribution developers only have a need
to compile the kernel one time.

This machtype kernel command line argument will be used later to share the
same kernel image file between two different machines(menglong & yeeloong)
made by lemote.

Thanks very much to Zhang Le for cleaning up the machtype implementation.

Fixed up trivial conflicts:

 - arch/x86/include/asm/socket.h

   converted to <asm-generic/socket.h> in the x86 tree.  The generic
   header has the same new #define's, so that works out fine.

 - drivers/net/tun.c

   fix conflict between 89f56d1e9 ("tun: reuse struct sock fields") that
   switched over to using 'tun->socket.sk' instead of the redundantly
   available (and thus removed) 'tun->sk', and 2b980dbd ("lsm: Add hooks
   to the TUN driver") which added a new 'tun->sk' use.

1e1030dccb sh: nmi_debug support.
This implements support for NMI debugging that was shamelessly copied
from the avr32 port. A bit of special magic is needed in the interrupt
exception path given that the NMI exception handler is stubbed in to the
regular exception handling table despite being reported in INTEVT. So we
mangle the lookup and kick off an EXPEVT-style exception dispatch from
the INTEVT path for exceptions that do_IRQ() has no chance of handling.
As a result, we also drop the evt2irq() conversion from the do_IRQ() path
and just do it in assembly.

e571cbf1a4 NFS: Add a dns resolver for use with NFSv4 referrals and migration
The NFSv4 and NFSv4.1 protocols both allow for the redirection of a client
from one server to another in order to support filesystem migration and
replication. For full protocol support, we need to add the ability to
convert a DNS host name into an IP address that we can feed to the RPC
client.

We'll reuse the sunrpc cache, now that it has been converted to work with
rpc_pipefs.

f58dc01ba2 percpu: generalize first chunk allocator selection
Now that all first chunk allocators are in mm/percpu.c, it makes sense
to make generalize percpu_alloc kernel parameter.  Define PCPU_FC_*
and set pcpu_chosen_fc using early_param() in mm/percpu.c.  Arch code
can use the set value to determine which first chunk allocator to use.
