Henrik Rydberg d682bd7f38 Revert "HID: multitouch: decide if hid-multitouch needs to handle mt devices"
This reverts commit 0db3bfc72a (""HID: multitouch: decide if hid-multitouch
needs to handle mt devices").

The generic detection of hid-mt devices has two major flaws, and was
merged prematurely. Firstly, the hid-multitouch gets loaded even when
the device is handled by a special device. Secondly, the patch only
partially duplicates the device whitelist already present in hid-core,
effectively rendering a number of devices non-functional.

Julia Lawall 8052ee5f5f HID: drivers/hid/hid-roccat.c: eliminate a null pointer dereference
It is not possible to take the lock in device if device is NULL.
The mutex_lock is thus moved after the NULL test.  New error handling
labels are added at the end to differentiate between the cases where
different sets of locks should be unlocks, and between whether or not
reader should be freed (only on error).

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>

expression E, E1;
identifier f;
statement S1,S2,S3;

Mark A. Grondona c6e13b528f EDAC: Fix incorrect edac mode reporting in sb_edac
The edac driver for Sandy Bridge was found to be reporting "FPM"
for edac_mode, which clearly doesn't make sense. It was found that
sb_edac.c:get_dimm_config was reusing a variable for both mem_type
and edac_type, and thus was overwriting the value after setting
it correctly. This patch fixes that issue.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab eebf11a016 edac: Add an experimental new driver to support Sandy Bridge CPU's
This driver is known to work on mine and Tony's test environments,
using software error injection, and a partial hardware/software
error injection tool.

There's no broader range test yet to double check if the error decoding
logic will actually point to the right DIMM, so use it with care.
More tests are required to be sure that the driver will work on all
different types of memory configurations.

If you're willing to risk using it, I suggest you to enable EDAC debugs
for your test machines, as the debug logs helps to track what's going
inside the driver.

Please feed me with bug reports, if you notice that the driver
is miss-behaving.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 4055759145 i7core_edac: return -ENODEV if no MC is found
Nehalem-EX uses a different memory controller. However, as the
memory controller is not visible on some Nehalem/Nehalem-EP, we
need to indirectly probe via a X58 PCI device. The same devices
are found on (some) Nehalem-EX. So, on those machines, the
probe routine needs to return -ENODEV, as the actual Memory
Controller registers won't be detected.

Nelson Elhage d8805e633e epoll: fix spurious lockdep warnings
epoll can acquire recursively acquire ep->mtx on multiple "struct
eventpoll"s at once in the case where one epoll fd is monitoring another
epoll fd.  This is perfectly OK, since we're careful about the lock
ordering, but it causes spurious lockdep warnings.  Annotate the recursion
using mutex_lock_nested, and add a comment explaining the nesting rules
for good measure.

Recent versions of systemd are triggering this, and it can also be
demonstrated with the following trivial test program:

--------------------8<--------------------

int main(void) {
   int e1, e2;
   struct epoll_event evt = {
       .events = EPOLLIN
   };

   e1 = epoll_create1(0);
   e2 = epoll_create1(0);
   epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e2, &evt);
   return 0;
}

Some find using utf-8 in commit logs inappropriate.

Some patch commit logs contain unintended utf-8 characters when doing
things like copy/pasting compilation output.

Look for the start of any commit log by skipping initial lines that look
like email headers and "From: " lines.

Stop looking for utf-8 at the first signature line.

Andy Shevchenko 55036ba76b lib: rename pack_hex_byte() to hex_byte_pack()
As suggested by Andrew Morton in [1] there is better to have most
significant part first in the function name.

There is no functional change.

Michael Holzheu 66f6958e69 lib/string.c: fix strim() semantics for strings that have only blanks
Commit 84c95c9acf ("string: on strstrip(), first remove leading spaces
before running over str") improved the performance of the strim()
function.

Unfortunately this changed the semantics of strim() and broke my code.
Before the patch it was possible to use strim() without using the return
value for removing trailing spaces from strings that had either only
blanks or only trailing blanks.

Now this does not work any longer for strings that *only* have blanks.

Before patch: "   " -> ""    (empty string)
After patch:  "   " -> "   " (no change)

I think we should remove your patch to restore the old behavior.

The description (lib/string.c):

 * Note that the first trailing whitespace is replaced with a %NUL-terminator

=> The first trailing whitespace of a string that only has whitespace
   characters is the first whitespace

The patch restores the old strim() semantics.
