5d6bd8619d TCP: update ip_local_port_range documentation
The explanation of ip_local_port_range in
Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt contains several factual
errors:

- The default value of ip_local_port_range does not depend on the
  amount of memory available in the system.
- tcp_tw_recycle is not enabled by default.
- 1024-4999 is not the default value.
- Etc.

Clean up the mess.

b1a808ff43 Merge branch 'for-next' of git://gitorious.org/kernel-hsi/kernel-hsi
Pull HSI (High Speed Synchronous Serial Interface) framework from Carlos Chinea:
 "The High Speed Synchronous Serial Interface (HSI) is a serial
  interface mainly used for connecting application engines (APE) with
  cellular modem engines (CMT) in cellular handsets.

  The framework is currently being used for some people and we would
  like to see it integrated into the kernel for 3.3.  There is no HW
  controller drivers in this pull, but some people have already some of
  them pending which they would like to push as soon as this integrated.
  I am also working on the acceptance for an TI OMAP one, based on a
  compatible legacy version of the interface called SSI."

Ok, so it didn't get into 3.3, but here it is pulled into 3.4.

Several people piped up to say "yeah, we want this".

f187e9fd68 Merge branch 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf updates and fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "It's mostly fixes, but there's also two late items:

   - preliminary GTK GUI support for perf report
   - PMU raw event format descriptors in sysfs, to be parsed by tooling

  The raw event format in sysfs is a new ABI.  For example for the 'CPU'
  PMU we have:

    aldebaran:~> ll /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/*
    -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/any
    -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/cmask
    -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/edge
    -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/event
    -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/inv
    -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/offcore_rsp
    -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/pc
    -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/umask

  those lists of fields contain a specific format:

    aldebaran:~> cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/offcore_rsp
    config1:0-63

  So, those who wish to specify raw events can now use the following
  event format:

    -e cpu/cmask=1,event=2,umask=3

  Most people will not want to specify any events (let alone raw
  events), they'll just use whatever default event the tools use.

  But for more obscure PMU events that have no cross-architecture
  generic events the above syntax is more usable and a bit more
  structured than specifying hex numbers."

modules. When loading modules it's much better to have a softdep that
modprobe knows what's being done than having to fork/exec another
instance of modprobe to load the other module.

By using a softdep user has also an option to remove the dependencies
when removing the module (and if its refcount dropped to 0)

3a53396b03 cpuidle: add a sysfs entry to disable specific C state for debug purpose.
Some C states of new CPU might be not good.  One reason is BIOS might
configure them incorrectly.  To help developers root cause it quickly, the
patch adds a new sysfs entry, so developers could disable specific C state
manually.

In addition, C state might have much impact on performance tuning, as it
takes much time to enter/exit C states, which might delay interrupt
processing.  With the new debug option, developers could check if a deep C
state could impact performance and how much impact it could cause.

Also add this option in Documentation/cpuidle/sysfs.txt.
