c1a834dc70 timer stats: speedups
Make timer-stats have almost zero overhead when enabled in the config but
not used.  (this way distros can enable it more easily)

Also update the documentation about overhead of timer_stats - it was
written for the first version which had a global lock and a linear list
walk based lookup ;-)

0a920b5b66 add a trivial patch style checker
We are seeing increasing levels of minor patch style violations in submissions
to the mailing lists as well as making it into the tree.  These detract from
the quality of the submission and cause unnessary work for reviewers.

As a first step package up the current state of the patch style checker and
include it in the kernel tree.  Add instructions suggesting running it on
submissions.  This adds version v0.01 of the checkpatch.pl script.

cc4c24e115 ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: do not use named sysfs groups
The initial version of the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interface (not yet released
in any stable mainline kernel) made liberal use of named sysfs groups, in
order to get the attributes more organized.

This proved to be a really bad design decision.  Maybe if attribute groups
were as flexible as a real directory, and if binary attributes were not
second-class citizens, the idea of subdirs and named groups would not have
been so bad.

This patch makes all the thinkpad-acpi sysfs groups anonymous (thus
removing the subdirs), adds the former group names as a prefix (so that
hotkey/enable becomes hotkey_enable for example), and updates the
documentation.

These changes will make the thinkpad-acpi sysfs ABI a lot easier to
maintain.

legacy platform-specific GPIO interfaces stick to spinlock-safe GPIOs, so this

920a4b1038 libata: implement libata.spindown_compat
Now that libata uses sd->manage_start_stop, libata spins down disk on
shutdown.  In an attempt to compensate libata's previous shortcoming,
some distros sync and spin down disks attached via libata in their
shutdown(8).  Some disks spin back up just to spin down again on
STANDBYNOW1 if the command is issued when the disk is spun down, so
this double spinning down causes problem.

This patch implements module parameter libata.spindown_compat which,
when set to one (default value), prevents libata from spinning down
disks on shutdown thus avoiding double spinning down.  Note that
libata spins down disks for suspend to mem and disk, so with
libata.spindown_compat set to one, disks should be properly spun down
in all cases without modifying shutdown(8).

shutdown(8) should be fixed eventually.  Some drive do spin up on
SYNCHRONZE_CACHE even when their cache is clean.  Those disks
currently spin up briefly when sd tries to shutdown the device and
then the machine powers off immediately, which can't be good for the
head.  We can't skip SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE during shudown as it can be
dangerous data integrity-wise.

So, this spindown_compat parameter is already scheduled for removal by
the end of the next year and here's what shutdown(8) should do.

  * Check whether /sys/modules/libata/parameters/spindown_compat
    exists.  If it does, write 0 to it.

  * For each libata harddisk {
	* Check whether /sys/class/scsi_disk/h:c:i:l/manage_start_stop
	  exists.  Iff it doesn't, synchronize cache and spin the disk
	  down as before.
  }

The above procedure will make shutdown(8) work properly with kernels
before this change, ones with this workaround and later ones without
it.

To accelerate shutdown(8) updates, if the compat mode is in use, this
patch prints BIG FAT warning for five seconds during shutdown (the
optimal interval to annoy the user just the right amount discovered by
hours of tireless usability testing).

Documentation/gpio.txt should mention the Kconfig GENERIC_GPIO flag, for
platforms to declare when relevant.  This should help minimize goofs like
omitting it, or not depending on it when needed.
