Commit c7f486567c1d0acd2e4166c47069835b9f75e77b
(PCI PM: PCIe PME root port service driver) causes the native PCIe
PME signaling to be used by default, if the BIOS allows the kernel to
control the standard configuration registers of PCIe root ports.
However, the native PCIe PME is coupled to the native PCIe hotplug
and calling pcie_pme_acpi_setup() makes some BIOSes expect that
the native PCIe hotplug will be used as well. That, in turn, causes
problems to appear on systems where the PCIe hotplug driver is not
loaded. The usual symptom, as reported by Jaroslav Kameník and
others, is that the ACPI GPE associated with PCIe hotplug keeps
firing continuously causing kacpid to take substantial percentage
of CPU time.
To work around this issue, change the default so that the native
PCIe PME signaling is only used if directly requested with the help
of the pcie_pme= command line switch.
Fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15924 , which is
a listed regression from 2.6.33.

Introduce a new truncate calling sequence into fs/mm subsystems. Rather than
setattr > vmtruncate > truncate, have filesystems call their truncate sequence
from ->setattr if filesystem specific operations are required. vmtruncate is
deprecated, and truncate_pagecache and inode_newsize_ok helpers introduced
previously should be used.
simple_setattr is introduced for simple in-ram filesystems to implement
the new truncate sequence. Eventually all filesystems should be converted
to implement a setattr, and the default code in notify_change should go
away.
simple_setsize is also introduced to perform just the ATTR_SIZE portion
of simple_setattr (ie. changing i_size and trimming pagecache).
To implement the new truncate sequence:
- filesystem specific manipulations (eg freeing blocks) must be done in
the setattr method rather than ->truncate.
- vmtruncate can not be used by core code to trim blocks past i_size in
the event of write failure after allocation, so this must be performed
in the fs code.
- convert usage of helpers block_write_begin, nobh_write_begin,
cont_write_begin, and *blockdev_direct_IO* to use _newtrunc postfixed
variants. These avoid calling vmtruncate to trim blocks (see previous).
- inode_setattr should not be used. generic_setattr is a new function
to be used to copy simple attributes into the generic inode.
- make use of the better opportunity to handle errors with the new sequence.
Big problem with the previous calling sequence: the filesystem is not called
until i_size has already changed. This means it is not allowed to fail the
call, and also it does not know what the previous i_size was. Also, generic
code calling vmtruncate to truncate allocated blocks in case of error had
no good way to return a meaningful error (or, for example, atomically handle
block deallocation).

Driver for the TI TMP102.
The TI TMP102 is similar to the LM75. It differs from the LM75 by
having a 16-bit conf register and the temp registers have a minimum
resolution of 12 bits; the extended conf register can select 13-bit
resolution (which this driver does) and also change the update rate
(which this driver currently doesn't use).

Kamezawa Hiroyuki requested documentation for the numa_mem_id() and slab
related changes. He suggested Documentation/vm/numa for this
documentation. Looking at this file, it seems to me to be hopelessly out
of date relative to current Linux NUMA support. At the risk of going down
a rathole, I have made an attempt to rewrite the doc at a slightly higher
level [I think] and provide pointers to other in-tree documents and
out-of-tree man pages that cover the details.
Let the games begin.

The inode's i_size is not protected by the big kernel lock. Therefore it
does not make sense to recommend taking the BKL in filesystems llseek
operations. Instead it should use the inode's mutex or use just use
