commit b27759f880018b0cd43543dc94c921341b64b5ec upstream.

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.

<title>hwmon: (ltc4245) Read only one GPIO pin</title>

commit df16dd53c575d0cb9dbee20a3149927c862a9ff6 upstream.

Read only one of the GPIO pins as an analog voltage. The ADC can be
switched to a different GPIO pin at runtime, but this is not supported.

Previously, this driver would report the analog voltage of the currently
selected GPIO pin as all three GPIO voltages: in9_input, in10_input and
in11_input.

<title>revert "procfs: provide stack information for threads" and its fixup commits</title>

<id>34441427aab4bdb3069a4ffcda69a99357abcb2e</id>
<content type='text'>
Originally, commit d899bf7b ("procfs: provide stack information for
threads") attempted to introduce a new feature for showing where the
threadstack was located and how many pages are being utilized by the
stack.

Commit c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage on NOMMU") was
applied to fix the NO_MMU case.

Commit 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on
64-bit") was applied to fix a bug in ia32 executables being loaded.

Commit 9ebd4eba7 ("procfs: fix /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/stat stack pointer for kernel
threads") was applied to fix a bug which had kernel threads printing a
userland stack address.

Commit 1306d603f ('proc: partially revert "procfs: provide stack
information for threads"') was then applied to revert the stack pages
being used to solve a significant performance regression.

This patch nearly undoes the effect of all these patches.

The reason for reverting these is it provides an unusable value in
field 28.  For x86_64, a fork will result in the task-&gt;stack_start
value being updated to the current user top of stack and not the stack
start address.  This unpredictability of the stack_start value makes
it worthless.  That includes the intended use of showing how much stack
space a thread has.

Other architectures will get different values.  As an example, ia64
gets 0.  The do_fork() and copy_process() functions appear to treat the
stack_start and stack_size parameters as architecture specific.

I only partially reverted c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage
on NOMMU") .  If I had completely reverted it, I would have had to change
mm/Makefile only build pagewalk.o when CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR is
configured.  Since I could not test the builds without significant effort,
I decided to not change mm/Makefile.

I only partially reverted 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack
information for threads on 64-bit") .  I left the KSTK_ESP() change in
place as that seemed worthwhile.

Commit 6bfff31e77cfa1b13490337e5a4dbaa3407e83ac (libata: kill probe_ent

to it from the libata developer's guide.

Commits 9363c3825ea9ad76561eb48a395349dd29211ed6 (libata: rename SFF
functions) and 5682ed33aae05d10a25c95633ef9d9c062825888 (libata: rename
SFF port ops) renamed the taskfile access methods but didn't update the
developer's guide.  Commit c9f75b04ed5ed65a058d18a8a8dda50632a96de8
(libata: kill ata_noop_dev_select()) didn't update the developer's
guide as well.

The guide also refers to the long gone ata_pio_data_xfer_noirq(),
ata_pio_data_xfer(), and ata_mmio_data_xfer() -- replace those by
the modern ata_sff_data_xfer_noirq(), ata_sff_data_xfer(), and
ata_sff_data_xfer32().

Also, remove the reference to non-existant ata_port_stop()...

After discovering that a lot of i2c-drivers leave the pointer to their
clientdata dangling, it was decided to let the core handle this issue.
It is assumed that the core may access the private data after remove()
as there are no guarantees for the lifetime of such pointers anyhow (see
thread starting at http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/3/21/68)

an SPI transfer.  This ioctl returns the number of bytes successfully
transmitted or a negative error code upon erroneous completion.  The
application however is returning an error if the result of the ioclt if
the return value is 1.  This makes the application to fail upon 1-byte
length transfers.

The sample application spidev_test.c is using SPI_IOC_MESSAGE ioctl to do
an SPI transfer.  This ioctl returns the number of bytes successfully
transmitted or a negative error code upon erroneous completion.  The
application however is returning an error if the result of the ioclt if
the return value is 1.  This makes the application to fail upon 1-byte
length transfers.
