2011-02-16hwmon: (jc42) do not allow writing to locked registersClemens Ladisch
On systems where the temperature sensor is actually used, the BIOS is likely to have locked the alarm registers. In that case, all writes through the corresponding sysfs files would be silently ignored. To prevent this, detect the locks and make the affected sysfs files read-only.

2011-02-07tracing/syscalls: Allow arch specific syscall symbol matchingIan Munsie
Some architectures have unusual symbol names and the generic code to match the symbol name with the function name for the syscall metadata will fail. For example, symbols on PPC64 start with a period and the generic code will fail to match them. This patch moves the match logic out into a separate function which an arch can override by defining ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_MATCH_SYM_NAME in asm/ftrace.h and implementing arch_syscall_match_sym_name.

2011-02-07tracing/syscalls: Make arch_syscall_addr weakIan Munsie

This patch makes the generic arch_syscall_addr weak to allow architectures with non-trivial system call tables to override it.

2011-02-07tracing/kprobes: Add bitfield typeMasami Hiramatsu
Add bitfield type for tracing arguments on kprobe-tracer.

2011-02-04drivers:misc: ti-st: move from rfkill to sysfsPavan Savoy
The communication between ST KIM and UIM was interfaced over the /dev/rfkill device node. Move the interface to a simpler less abusive sysfs entry mechanism and document it in Documentation/ABI/testing/ under sysfs-platform-kim. Shared transport driver would now read the UART details originally received by bootloader or firmware as platform data. The data read will be shared over sysfs entries for the user-space UIM or other n/w manager/plugins to be read, and assist the driver by opening up the UART, setting the baud-rate and installing the line discipline.

2011-02-04USB: usbmon: fix-up docs and text API for sparse ISOPete Zaitcev
This is based on a patch that Alan Stern wrote. It did the same simple thing in both text and binary cases. In the same time, Marton and I fixed the binary side properly, but this leaves the text to be fixed. It is not very important due to low maxium data size of text, but let's add it just for extra correctness. The pseudocode is too much to keep fixed up, and we have real code to be used as examples now, so let's drop it too.

2011-02-03memory hotplug: Allow memory blocks to span multiple memory sectionsNathan Fontenot
Update the memory sysfs code such that each sysfs memory directory is now considered a memory block that can span multiple memory sections per memory block. The default size of each memory block is SECTION_SIZE_BITS to maintain the current behavior of having a single memory section per memory block (i.e. one sysfs directory per memory section). For architectures that want to have memory blocks span multiple memory sections they need only define their own memory_block_size_bytes() routine. Update the memory hotplug documentation to reflect the new behaviors of memory blocks reflected in sysfs.
