[PATCH V2 2/3] drivers/staging: zcache: host services and PAM services
Zcache provides host services (memory allocation) for tmem,
a "shim" to interface cleancache and frontswap to tmem, and
two different page-addressable memory implemenations using
lzo1x compression. The first, "compression buddies" ("zbud")
compresses pairs of pages and supplies a shrinker interface
that allows entire pages to be reclaimed. The second is
a shim to xvMalloc which is more space-efficient but
less receptive to page reclamation. The first is used
for ephemeral pools and the second for persistent pools.
All ephemeral pools share the same memory, that is, even
pages from different pools can share the same page.

[PATCH V2 1/3] drivers/staging: zcache: in-kernel tmem code
Transcendent memory ("tmem") is a clean API/ABI that provides
for an efficient address translation and a set of highly
concurrent access methods to copy data between a page-oriented
data source (e.g. cleancache or frontswap) and a page-addressable
memory ("PAM") data store. Of critical importance, the PAM data
store is of unknown (and possibly varying) size so any individual
access may succeed or fail as defined by the API/ABI.
Tmem exports a basic set of access methods (e.g. put, get,
flush, flush object, new pool, and destroy pool) which are
normally called from a "host" (e.g. zcache).
To be functional, two sets of "ops" must be registered by the
host, one to provide "host services" (memory allocation) and
one to provide page-addressable memory ("PAM") hooks.
Tmem supports one or more "clients", each which can provide
a set of "pools" to partition pages. Each pool contains
a set of "objects"; each object holds pointers to some number
of PAM page descriptors ("pampd"), indexed by an "index" number.
This triple <pool id, object id, index> is sometimes referred
to as a "handle". Tmem's primary function is to essentially
provide address translation of handles into pampds and move
data appropriately.
As an example, for cleancache, a pool maps to a filesystem,
an object maps to a file, and the index is the page offset
into the file. And in this patch, zcache is the host and
each PAM descriptor points to a compressed page of data.
Tmem supports two kinds of pages: "ephemeral" and "persistent".
Ephemeral pages may be asynchronously reclaimed "bottoms up"
so the data structures and concurrency model must allow for
this. For example, each pampd must retain sufficient information
to invalidate tmem's handle-to-pampd translation.
its containing object so that, on reclaim, all tmem data
structures can be made consistent.

This is a complete rewrite of the AD9832/35 driver.
Purpose was to move this driver to the recently
created API for such devices.
Changes since V1:
IIO: DDS: AD9832 / AD9835 driver: Apply review feedback
Save a few bytes, use union for data allocated for spi buffers.
Remove use of device IDs.
Fix comments.
Make master clock mclk always type unsigned long.

This patch adds a new trigger that can be invoked by writing
the sysfs file: trigger_now. This approach can be valuable during
automated testing or in situations, where other trigger methods
are not applicable. For example no RTC or spare GPIOs.
Last but not least we can allow user space applications to produce triggers.
IIO: TRIGGER: Apply review feedback by Greg Kroah-Hartman
Changes since v1:
Add sysfs documentation.
Change license notice.
Add module alias.
Add more Kconfig help text

There are currently two implementations of the Samsung BIOS that controls the rfkill
switch, backlight brightness / power and performance level. The samsung-laptop driver
implements the BIOS flavor with the SECLINUX signature, this patch implements talking
to the other BIOS with 'SwSmi@' signature. Both expose very similar functionality and
way of accessing the commands. The differences are mostly offsets, command identifiers
and some values.
This patch introduces a sabi_config structure that contains information on identifying
and accessing specific SABI flavors.
