Add the kernel command line tp_printk option that will have tracepoints
that are active sent to printk() as well as to the trace buffer.
Passing "tp_printk" will activate this. To turn it off, the sysctl
/proc/sys/kernel/tracepoint_printk can have '0' echoed into it. Note,
this only works if the cmdline option is used. Echoing 1 into the sysctl
file without the cmdline option will have no affect.
Note, this is a dangerous option. Having high frequency tracepoints send
their data to printk() can possibly cause a live lock. This is another
reason why this is only active if the command line option is used.

Give MPX a real config option. The CPUs that support it (referenced
here):
https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/topic/402393
are not available publicly yet. Right now only the software emulator
provides MPX for the general public.
[ tglx: Make it default off. There is no point in having it on right
now as no hardware and no proper tooling support are available ]

I was writing some MPX test programs and realized that the
current design makes it tricky. I did something like:
bndcfgu |= bnd_dir | BNDCFGU_ENABLE;
xrstor();
printf("xrstor done");
// #BR bounds exception here
prctl(MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT);
and then compiled the app with "-fcheck-pointer-bounds -mmpx"
to enable MPX instrumentation.
The problem is that there is MPX instrumentation inserted in
to the area of the printf(). The kernel gets a bounds exception
and since management isn't yet enabled, it SIGSEGV's.
Add a bit to the documentation to explain a way around this and
where apps need to be careful.

Pull take two of the GPIO updates:
"Same stuff as last time, now with a fixup patch for the previous
compile error plus I ran a few extra rounds of compile-testing.
This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v3.19 series:
- A new API that allows setting more than one GPIO at the time. This
is implemented for the new descriptor-based API only and makes it
possible to e.g. toggle a clock and data line at the same time, if
the hardware can do this with a single register write. Both
consumers and drivers need new calls, and the core will fall back
to driving individual lines where needed. Implemented for the
MPC8xxx driver initially
- Patched the mdio-mux-gpio and the serial mctrl driver that drives
modems to use the new multiple-setting API to set several signals
simultaneously
- Get rid of the global GPIO descriptor array, and instead allocate
descriptors dynamically for each GPIO on a certain GPIO chip. This
moves us closer to getting rid of the limitation of using the
global, static GPIO numberspace
- New driver and device tree bindings for 74xx ICs
- New driver and device tree bindings for the VF610 Vybrid
- Support the RCAR r8a7793 and r8a7794
- Guidelines for GPIO device tree bindings trying to get things a bit
more strict with the advent of combined device properties
- Suspend/resume support for the MVEBU driver
- A slew of minor fixes and improvements"

The patch exposes the available i2c busses on the PowerNV platform
to the kernel and implements the bus driver to support i2c and
smbus commands.
The driver uses the platform device infrastructure to probe the busses
on the platform and registers them with the i2c driver framework.

SysV can be abused to allocate locked kernel memory. For most systems, a
small limit doesn't make sense, see the discussion with regards to SHMMAX.
Therefore: increase MSGMNI to the maximum supported.
And: If we ignore the risk of locking too much memory, then an automatic
scaling of MSGMNI doesn't make sense. Therefore the logic can be removed.
The code preserves auto_msgmni to avoid breaking any user space applications
that expect that the value exists.
Notes:
1) If an administrator must limit the memory allocations, then he can set
MSGMNI as necessary.
Or he can disable sysv entirely (as e.g. done by Android).
2) MSGMAX and MSGMNB are intentionally not increased, as these values are used
to control latency vs. throughput:
If MSGMNB is large, then msgsnd() just returns and more messages can be queued
before a task switch to a task that calls msgrcv() is forced.

This is the page owner tracking code which is introduced so far ago. It
is resident on Andrew's tree, though, nobody tried to upstream so it
remain as is. Our company uses this feature actively to debug memory leak
or to find a memory hogger so I decide to upstream this feature.
This functionality help us to know who allocates the page. When
allocating a page, we store some information about allocation in extra
memory. Later, if we need to know status of all pages, we can get and
analyze it from this stored information.
In previous version of this feature, extra memory is statically defined in
struct page, but, in this version, extra memory is allocated outside of
struct page. It enables us to turn on/off this feature at boottime
without considerable memory waste.
Although we already have tracepoint for tracing page allocation/free,
using it to analyze page owner is rather complex. We need to enlarge the
trace buffer for preventing overlapping until userspace program launched.
And, launched program continually dump out the trace buffer for later
analysis and it would change system behaviour with more possibility rather
than just keeping it in memory, so bad for debug.
Moreover, we can use page_owner feature further for various purposes. For
example, we can use it for fragmentation statistics implemented in this

using this interface.
I'd like to give the credit for all developers contributed this feature,
but, it's not easy because I don't know exact history. Sorry about that.

Now, we have prepared to avoid using debug-pagealloc in boottime. So
introduce new kernel-parameter to disable debug-pagealloc in boottime, and
makes related functions to be disabled in this case.
Only non-intuitive part is change of guard page functions. Because guard
page is effective only if debug-pagealloc is enabled, turning off
according to debug-pagealloc is reasonable thing to do.

The hugepages= entry in kernel-parameters.txt states that 1GB pages can
only be allocated at boot time and not freed afterwards. This is not
true since commit 944d9fec8d7a ("hugetlb: add support for gigantic page
allocation at runtime"), at least for x86_64.
Instead of adding arch-specifc observations to the hugepages= entry,
this commit just drops the out of date information. Further information
about arch-specific support and available features can be obtained in
the hugetlb documentation.

When a vcpu calls SYSTEM_OFF or SYSTEM_RESET with PSCI v0.2, the vcpus
should really be turned off for the VM adhering to the suggestions in
the PSCI spec, and it's the sane thing to do.
Also, clarify the behavior and expectations for exits to user space with
the KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT case.

It is not clear that this ioctl can be called multiple times for a given
vcpu. Userspace already does this, so clarify the ABI.
Also specify that userspace is expected to always make secondary and
subsequent calls to the ioctl with the same parameters for the VCPU as
the initial call (which userspace also already does).
Add code to check that userspace doesn't violate that ABI in the future,
and move the kvm_vcpu_set_target() function which is currently
duplicated between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions in guest.c to a common
static function in arm.c, shared between both architectures.

The implementation of KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT is currently not doing what
userspace expects, namely making sure that a vcpu which may have been
turned off using PSCI is returned to its initial state, which would be
powered on if userspace does not set the KVM_ARM_VCPU_POWER_OFF flag.
Implement the expected functionality and clarify the ABI.

There are a number of situations where the mandatory barriers rmb() and
wmb() are used to order memory/memory operations in the device drivers
and those barriers are much heavier than they actually need to be. For
example in the case of PowerPC wmb() calls the heavy-weight sync
instruction when for coherent memory operations all that is really needed
is an lsync or eieio instruction.
This commit adds a coherent only version of the mandatory memory barriers
rmb() and wmb(). In most cases this should result in the barrier being the
same as the SMP barriers for the SMP case, however in some cases we use a
barrier that is somewhere in between rmb() and smp_rmb(). For example on
ARM the rmb barriers break down as follows:
Barrier Call Explanation
--------- -------- ----------------------------------
rmb() dsb() Data synchronization barrier - system
dma_rmb() dmb(osh) data memory barrier - outer sharable
smp_rmb() dmb(ish) data memory barrier - inner sharable
These new barriers are not as safe as the standard rmb() and wmb().
Specifically they do not guarantee ordering between coherent and incoherent
memories. The primary use case for these would be to enforce ordering of
reads and writes when accessing coherent memory that is shared between the
CPU and a device.
It may also be noted that there is no dma_mb(). Most architectures don't
provide a good mechanism for performing a coherent only full barrier without
resorting to the same mechanism used in mb(). As such there isn't much to
be gained in trying to define such a function.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
1) New offloading infrastructure and example 'rocker' driver for
offloading of switching and routing to hardware.
This work was done by a large group of dedicated individuals, not
limited to: Scott Feldman, Jiri Pirko, Thomas Graf, John Fastabend,
Jamal Hadi Salim, Andy Gospodarek, Florian Fainelli, Roopa Prabhu
2) Start making the networking operate on IOV iterators instead of
modifying iov objects in-situ during transfers. Thanks to Al Viro
and Herbert Xu.
3) A set of new netlink interfaces for the TIPC stack, from Richard
Alpe.
4) Remove unnecessary looping during ipv6 routing lookups, from Martin
KaFai Lau.
5) Add PAUSE frame generation support to gianfar driver, from Matei
Pavaluca.
6) Allow for larger reordering levels in TCP, which are easily
achievable in the real world right now, from Eric Dumazet.
7) Add a variable of napi_schedule that doesn't need to disable cpu
interrupts, from Eric Dumazet.
8) Use a doubly linked list to optimize neigh_parms_release(), from
Nicolas Dichtel.

On some ARMs the memory can be mapped pgprot_noncached() and still
be working for atomic operations. As pointed out by Colin Cross
<ccross@android.com>, in some cases you do want to use
pgprot_noncached() if the SoC supports it to see a debug printk
just before a write hanging the system.
On ARMs, the atomic operations on strongly ordered memory are
implementation defined. So let's provide an optional kernel parameter
for configuring pgprot_noncached(), and use pgprot_writecombine() by
default.

Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
"This became a fairly large pull request. In addition to the usual
driver updates / fixes, there have been a high amount of cleanups in
ASoC area, as well as control API helpers and kernel documentations
fixes touching through the whole tree.
In the driver side, the biggest changes are the support for new Intel
SoC found on new x86 machines, and the updates of FireWire dice and
oxfw drivers.
Some remarkable items are below:
ALSA core:
- PCM mmap code cleanup, removal of arch-dependent codes
- PCM xrun injection support
- PCM hwptr tracepoint support
- Refactoring of snd_pcm_action(), simplification of PCM locking
- Robustified sequecner auto-load functionality
- New control API helpers and lots of cleanups along with them
- Lots of kerneldoc fixes and cleanups
USB-audio:
- The mixer resume code was largely rewritten, and the devices with
quirks are resumed properly.
- New hardware support: Focusrite Scarlett, Digidesign Mbox1,
Denon/Marantz DACs, Zoom R16/24
FireWire:
- DICE driver updates with better duplex and sync support, including
MIDI support
- New OXFW driver for Oxford Semiconductor FW970/971 chipset,
including the previous LaCie Speakers device. Fullduplex and MIDI
support included as well as DICE driver.
HD-audio:
- Refactoring the driver-caps quirk handling in snd-hda-intel
- More consistent control names representing the topology better
- Fixups: HP mute LED with ALC268 codec, Ideapad S210 built-in mic
fix, ASUS Z99He laptop EAPD
ASoC:
- Conversion of AC'97 drivers to use regmap, bringing us closer to
the removal of the ASoC level I/O code
- Clean up a lot of old drivers that were open coding things that
have subsequently been implemented in the core
- Some DAPM performance improvements
- Removal of the now seldom used CODEC mutex
- Lots of updates for the newer Intel SoC support, including support
for the DSP and some Cherrytrail and Braswell machine drivers
- Support for Samsung boards using rt5631 as the CODEC
- Removal of the obsolete AFEB9260 machine driver
- Driver support for the TI TS3A227E headset driver used in some
Chrombeooks
Others:
- ASIHPI driver update and cleanups
- Lots of dev_*() printk conversions
- Lots of trivial cleanups for the codes spotted by Coccinelle"

Pull devicetree changes from Grant Likely:
"Lots of activity in the devicetree code for v3.18. Most of it is
related to getting all of the overlay support code in place, but there
are other important things in there.
Highlights:
- OF_RECONFIG notifiers for SPI, I2C and Platform devices. Those
subsystems can now respond to live changes to the device tree.
- CONFIG_OF_OVERLAY method for applying live changes to the device
tree
- Removal of the of_allnodes list. This used to be used to iterate
over all the nodes in the device tree, but it is unnecessary
because the same thing can be done by iterating over the list of
child pointers. Getting rid of of_allnodes saves some memory and
avoids the possibility of of_allnodes being sorted differently from
the child lists.
- Support for retrieving original DTB blob via sysfs. Needed by
kexec.
- More unittests
- Documentation and minor bug fixes"
