2011-04-29hwmon: (adm1021) Clarify documentation regarding Xeon processorsJean Delvare1-17/+19
Recent Xeon processor thermal sensors are supported by the coretemp driver and not the adm1021 driver. Only one old generation of Xeon processors (the first Netburst ones) are supported by the adm1021 driver.

2011-04-29flex_array: flex_array_prealloc takes a number of elements, not an endEric Paris1-2/+2
Change flex_array_prealloc to take the number of elements for which space should be allocated instead of the last (inclusive) element. Users and documentation are updated accordingly. flex_arrays got introduced before they had users. When folks started using it, they ended up needing a different API than was coded up originally. This swaps over to the API that folks apparently need.

2011-04-28memcg: update documentation to describe usage_in_bytesDaisuke Nishimura1-2/+13
Since 569b846d ("memcg: coalesce uncharge during unmap/truncate"), we do batched (delayed) uncharge at truncation/unmap. And since cdec2e42(memcg: coalesce charging via percpu storage), we have percpu cache for res_counter. These changes improved performance of memory cgroup very much, but made res_counter->usage usually have a bigger value than the actual value of memory usage. So, *.usage_in_bytes, which show res_counter->usage, are not desirable for precise values of memory(and swap) usage anymore. Instead of removing these files completely(because we cannot know res_counter->usage without them), this patch updates the meaning of those files.

2011-03-28eeepc-wmi: asus generic asus-wmi.ko moduleCorentin Chary1-4/+4
New Asus notebooks are using a WMI device similar to the one used in Eee PCs. Since we don't want to load eeepc-wmi module on Asus notebooks, and we want to keep the eeepc-wmi module for backward compatibility, this patch introduce a new module, named asus-wmi, that will be used by eeepc-wmi and the new Asus Notebook WMI Driver. eeepc-wmi's input device strings (device name and phys) are kept, but rfkill and led names are changed (s/eeepc/asus/). This should not break anything since rfkill are used by type or index, not by name, and the eeepc::touchpad led wasn't working correctly before 2.6.39 anyway.
