The T440s user guide says that when Fn-lock is not active, the *40s' F9 - F12 keys should be mapped to: control-panel, search, show-all-windows and Computer. These keys generate the sofar unused 28 - 31 hotkey scancodes. For the first 2 this nicely matches the icons on the keys, for the latter 2 the icons are somewhat creative, which is why I ended up looking them up in the user manual.

This acpi driver provide supports for freefall sensors SMO8800/SMO8810 which can be found on Dell Latitude laptops. Driver register /dev/freefall misc device which has same interface as driver hp_accel freefall driver. So any existing applications for HP freefall sensor /dev/freefall will work for with this new driver for Dell Latitude laptops too.

This patch moves data allocated using kzalloc to managed data allocated using devm_kzalloc and cleans now unnecessary kfrees in probe and remove functions. The label sysfs_failed is removed as it is no longer required. Also, linux/device.h is added to make sure the devm_*() routine declarations are unambiguously available. The following Coccinelle semantic patch was used for making the change: @platform@ identifier p, probefn, removefn; @@ struct platform_driver p = { .probe = probefn, .remove = removefn, }; @prb@ identifier platform.probefn, pdev; expression e, e1, e2; @@ probefn(struct platform_device *pdev, ...) { <+... - e = kzalloc(e1, e2) + e = devm_kzalloc(&pdev->dev, e1, e2) ... ?-kfree(e); ...+> } @rem depends on prb@ identifier platform.removefn; expression e; @@ removefn(...) { <... - kfree(e); ...> } Signed-off-by: Himangi Saraogi <himangi774@gmail.com> Acked-by: Julia Lawall <julia.lawall@lip6.fr> Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett <matthew.garrett@nebula.com>

Note this patch also removes the "else priv->rfk[i] = NULL;" bit of the rfkill initialization, it is not necessary as the priv struct is allocated with kzalloc.

We've observed the missing pvpanic call at panic, and it turned out that this was blocked by the broken notifier of drm_fb_helper, where scheduling may be called during switching to the fb console. It's fairly difficult to fix the drm_fb problem and a quick fix isn't foreseen, a simpler solution for the missing pvpanic call would be just to call this earlier. In order to assure that, this patch sets a higher priority to pvpanic notifier_block. Once when the issue of drm_fb is resolved, we can remove this priority again.

This function is supposed to return true if the new load imbalance is worse than the old one. It didn't. I can only hope brown paper bags are in style. Now things converge much better on both the 4 node and 8 node systems. I am not sure why this did not seem to impact specjbb performance on the 4 node system, which is the system I have full-time access to.

shrink_inactive_list() used to wait 0.1s to avoid congestion when all the pages that were isolated from the inactive list were dirty but not under active writeback. That makes no real sense, and apparently causes major interactivity issues under some loads since 3.11. The ostensible reason for it was to wait for kswapd to start writing pages, but that seems questionable as well, since the congestion wait code seems to trigger for kswapd itself as well. Also, the logic behind delaying anything when we haven't actually started writeback is not clear - it only delays actually starting that writeback. We'll still trigger the congestion waiting if (a) the process is kswapd, and we hit pages flagged for immediate reclaim (b) the process is not kswapd, and the zone backing dev writeback is actually congested. This probably needs to be revisited, but as it is this fixes a reported regression.

Patch to prevent warning of a buggy compiler when using clang and the ARM_UNWIND option. Clang defines (at least on the current trunk) GNUC, GNUC_MINOR, and GNUC_PATCHLEVEL to 4, 2, and 1 respectively. This version of GCC gets flagged as buggy, but it isn't actually an issue with clang so the patch will do what it did before unless clang is defined and then it will not report the GCC version as an issue.

Replaced non-standard C use of Variable Length Arrays In Structs (VLAIS) in xt_repldata.h with a C99 compliant flexible array member and then calculated offsets to the other struct members. These other members aren't referenced by name in this code, however this patch maintains the same memory layout and padding as was previously accomplished using VLAIS. Had the original structure been ordered differently, with the entries VLA at the end, then it could have been a flexible member, and this patch would have been a lot simpler. However since the data stored in this structure is ultimately exported to userspace, the order of this structure can't be changed. This patch makes no attempt to change the existing behavior, merely the way in which the current layout is accomplished using standard C99 constructs. As such the code can now be compiled with either gcc or clang. This version of the patch removes the trailing alignment that the VLAIS structure would allocate in order to simplify the patch.

commit 7d453eee ("x86/efi: Wire up CONFIG_EFI_MIXED") introduced a regression for the functionality to load kernels above 4G. The relevant (incorrect) reasoning behind this change can be seen in the commit message, "The xloadflags field in the bzImage header is also updated to reflect that the kernel supports both entry points by setting both of XLF_EFI_HANDOVER_32 and XLF_EFI_HANDOVER_64 when CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=y. XLF_CAN_BE_LOADED_ABOVE_4G is disabled so that the kernel text is guaranteed to be addressable with 32-bits." This is obviously bogus since 32-bit EFI loaders will never place the kernel above the 4G mark. So this restriction is entirely unnecessary. But things are worse than that - since we want to encourage people to always compile with CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=y so that their kernels work out of the box for both 32-bit and 64-bit firmware, commit 7d453eee effectively disables XLF_CAN_BE_LOADED_ABOVE_4G completely. Remove the overzealous and superfluous restriction and restore the XLF_CAN_BE_LOADED_ABOVE_4G functionality. Cc: "H.

Commit 788257d6 ("ufs: remove the BKL") replaced BKL with mutex protection using functions lock_ufs, unlock_ufs and struct mutex 'mutex' in sb_info. Commit b6963327 ("ufs: drop lock/unlock super") removed lock/unlock super and added struct mutex 's_lock' in sb_info. Those 2 mutexes are generally locked/unlocked at the same time except in allocation (balloc, ialloc). This patch merges the 2 mutexes and propagates first commit solution. It also adds mutex destruction before kfree during ufs_fill_super failure and ufs_put_super.
