Pull trace cleanups from Steven Rostedt:
"This contains three more clean up patches.
One patch is needed to make tracing work without debugfs now that
tracing uses its own tracefs.
The second is removing an unused variable.
The third is fixing a warning about unused variables when MAX_TRACER
is not configured. Note, this warning shows up in gcc 6.0, but does
not show up in gcc 4.9, as it seems that gcc does not complain about
constants not being used"

Pull second batch of kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"Four changes:
- x86: work around two nasty cases where a benign exception occurs
while another is being delivered. The endless stream of exceptions
causes an infinite loop in the processor, which not even NMIs or
SMIs can interrupt; in the virt case, there is no possibility to
exit to the host either.
- x86: support for Skylake per-guest TSC rate. Long supported by
AMD, the patches mostly move things from there to common
arch/x86/kvm/ code.
- generic: remove local_irq_save/restore from the guest entry and
exit paths when context tracking is enabled. The patches are a few
months old, but we discussed them again at kernel summit. Andy
will pick up from here and, in 4.5, try to remove it from the user
entry/exit paths.

Arnd Bergmann reported:
In my ARM randconfig tests, I'm getting a build error for
newly added code in bpf_perf_event_read and bpf_perf_event_output
whenever CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS is disabled:
kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c: In function 'bpf_perf_event_read':
kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c:203:11: error: 'struct perf_event' has no member named 'oncpu'
if (event->oncpu != smp_processor_id() ||
^
kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c:204:11: error: 'struct perf_event' has no member named 'pmu'
event->pmu->count)
This can happen when UPROBE_EVENT is enabled but KPROBE_EVENT
is disabled. I'm not sure if that is a configuration we care
about, otherwise we could prevent this case from occuring by
adding Kconfig dependencies.
Looking at this further, it's really that UPROBE_EVENT enables PERF_EVENTS.
By just having BPF_EVENTS depend on PERF_EVENTS, then all is fine.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"Outside of the new ACPI-NFIT hot-add support this pull request is more
notable for what it does not contain, than what it does. There were a
handful of development topics this cycle, dax get_user_pages, dax
fsync, and raw block dax, that need more more iteration and will wait
for 4.5.
The patches to make devm and the pmem driver NUMA aware have been in
-next for several weeks. The hot-add support has not, but is
contained to the NFIT driver and is passing unit tests. The coredump
support is straightforward and was looked over by Jeff. All of it has
received a 0day build success notification across 107 configs.
Summary:
- Add support for the ACPI 6.0 NFIT hot add mechanism to process
updates of the NFIT at runtime.
- Teach the coredump implementation how to filter out DAX mappings.
- Introduce NUMA hints for allocations made by the pmem driver, and
as a side effect all devm allocations now hint their NUMA node by
default"

guest_enter and guest_exit must be called with interrupts disabled,
since they take the vtime_seqlock with write_seq{lock,unlock}.
Therefore, it is not necessary to check for exceptions, nor to
save/restore the IRQ state, when context tracking functions are
called by guest_enter and guest_exit.
Split the body of context_tracking_entry and context_tracking_exit
out to __-prefixed functions, and use them from KVM.
Rik van Riel has measured this to speed up a tight vmentry/vmexit
loop by about 2%.

Since the ring buffer is lockless, there is no need to disable ftrace on
CPU. And no one doing so: after commit 68179686ac67cb ("tracing: Remove
ftrace_disable/enable_cpu()") ftrace_cpu_disabled stays the same after
initialization, nothing changes it.
ftrace_cpu_disabled shouldn't be used by any external module since it
disables only function and graph_function tracers but not any other
tracer.

In some cases we may end up killing the CPU holding the console lock
while still having valuable data in logbuf. E.g. I'm observing the
following:
- A crash is happening on one CPU and console_unlock() is being called on
some other.
- console_unlock() tries to print out the buffer before releasing the lock
and on slow console it takes time.
- in the meanwhile crashing CPU does lots of printk()-s with valuable data
(which go to the logbuf) and sends IPIs to all other CPUs.
- console_unlock() finishes printing previous chunk and enables interrupts
before trying to print out the rest, the CPU catches the IPI and never
releases console lock.
This is not the only possible case: in VT/fb subsystems we have many other
console_lock()/console_unlock() users. Non-masked interrupts (or
receiving NMI in case of extreme slowness) will have the same result.
Getting the whole console buffer printed out on crash should be top
priority.

setpriority(PRIO_USER, 0, x) will change the priority of tasks outside of
the current pid namespace. This is in contrast to both the other modes of
setpriority and the example of kill(-1). Fix this. getpriority and
ioprio have the same failure mode, fix them too.

[ 140.291534] kexec: sanity_check_segment_list: hello, world
Ideally, the format of output message:

task_will_free_mem() is wrong in many ways, and in particular the
SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP check is not reliable: a task can participate in the
coredumping without SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP bit set.
change zap_threads() paths to always set SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP even if
other CLONE_VM processes can't react to SIGKILL. Fortunately, at least
oom-kill case if fine; it kills all tasks sharing the same mm, so it
should also kill the process which actually dumps the core.
The change in prepare_signal() is not strictly necessary, it just ensures
that the patch does not bring another subtle behavioural change. But it
reminds us that this SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT/COREDUMP case needs more changes.

It is hardly possible to enumerate all problems with block_all_signals()
and unblock_all_signals(). Just for example,
1. block_all_signals(SIGSTOP/etc) simply can't help if the caller is
multithreaded. Another thread can dequeue the signal and force the
group stop.
2. Even is the caller is single-threaded, it will "stop" anyway. It
will not sleep, but it will spin in kernel space until SIGCONT or
SIGKILL.
And a lot more. In short, this interface doesn't work at all, at least
the last 10+ years.

The following statement of ABI/testing/dev-kmsg is not quite right:
It is not possible to inject messages from userspace with the
facility number LOG_KERN (0), to make sure that the origin of the
messages can always be reliably determined.
Userland actually can inject messages with a facility of 0 by abusing the
fact that the facility is stored in a u8 data type. By using a facility
which is a multiple of 256 the assignment of msg->facility in log_store()
implicitly truncates it to 0, i.e. LOG_KERN, allowing users of /dev/kmsg
to spoof kernel messages as shown below:
The following call...
# printf '<%d>Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty\n' 0 >/dev/kmsg
...leads to the following log entry (dmesg -x | tail -n 1):
user :emerg : [ 66.137758] Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty
However, this call...
# printf '<%d>Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty\n' 0x800 >/dev/kmsg
...leads to the slightly different log entry (note the kernel facility):
kern :emerg : [ 74.177343] Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty
Fix that by limiting the user provided facility to 8 bit right from the
beginning and catch the truncation early.

__GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and
could not sleep. Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic
context and callers that are not willing to sleep. The latter should
clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake. As clearing
__GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the
wrong flags. This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly
indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing
them prevents it.

sleep and avoiding waking kswapd
__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".
Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.
This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.
This patch then converts a number of sites
o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.
o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.
o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
flag manipulations.
o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.
The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

Pull tracking updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Most of the changes are clean ups and small fixes. Some of them have
stable tags to them. I searched through my INBOX just as the merge
window opened and found lots of patches to pull. I ran them through
all my tests and they were in linux-next for a few days.
Features added this release:
----------------------------
- Module globbing. You can now filter function tracing to several
modules. # echo '*:mod:*snd*' > set_ftrace_filter (Dmitry Safonov)
- Tracer specific options are now visible even when the tracer is not
active. It was rather annoying that you can only see and modify
tracer options after enabling the tracer. Now they are in the
options/ directory even when the tracer is not active. Although
they are still only visible when the tracer is active in the
trace_options file.
- Trace options are now per instance (although some of the tracer
specific options are global)
- New tracefs file: set_event_pid. If any pid is added to this file,
then all events in the instance will filter out events that are not
part of this pid. sched_switch and sched_wakeup events handle next
and the wakee pids"

Currently tracing_init_dentry() returns -ENODEV when debugfs is not
configured in, which causes tracefs not populated with tracing files and
directories, so we will get an empty directory even after we manually
mount tracefs.
We can make tracing_init_dentry() return NULL if debugfs is not
configured in and can manually mount tracefs. But return -ENODEV
if debugfs is configured in but not initialized or failed to create
automount point as that would break backward compatibility with older
tools.

The cost of faulting in all memory to be locked can be very high when
working with large mappings. If only portions of the mapping will be used
this can incur a high penalty for locking.
For the example of a large file, this is the usage pattern for a large
statical language model (probably applies to other statical or graphical
models as well). For the security example, any application transacting in
data that cannot be swapped out (credit card data, medical records, etc).
This patch introduces the ability to request that pages are not
pre-faulted, but are placed on the unevictable LRU when they are finally
faulted in. The VM_LOCKONFAULT flag will be used together with VM_LOCKED
and has no effect when set without VM_LOCKED. Setting the VM_LOCKONFAULT
flag for a VMA will cause pages faulted into that VMA to be added to the
unevictable LRU when they are faulted or if they are already present, but
will not cause any missing pages to be faulted in.
Exposing this new lock state means that we cannot overload the meaning of
the FOLL_POPULATE flag any longer. Prior to this patch it was used to
mean that the VMA for a fault was locked. This means we need the new
FOLL_MLOCK flag to communicate the locked state of a VMA. FOLL_POPULATE
will now only control if the VMA should be populated and in the case of
VM_LOCKONFAULT, it will not be set.

The oom killer takes task_lock() in a couple of places solely to protect
printing the task's comm.
A process's comm, including current's comm, may change due to
/proc/pid/comm or PR_SET_NAME.
The comm will always be NULL-terminated, so the worst race scenario would
only be during update. We can tolerate a comm being printed that is in
the middle of an update to avoid taking the lock.
Other locations in the kernel have already dropped task_lock() when
printing comm, so this is consistent.

watchdog_timer_fn()
Theoretically it is possible that the watchdog timer expires right at the
time when a user sets 'watchdog_thresh' to zero (note: this disables the
lockup detectors). In this scenario, the is_softlockup() function - which
is called by the timer - could produce a false positive.
Fix this by checking the current value of 'watchdog_thresh'.

The handler functions for watchdog parameters in /proc/sys/kernel do not
protect themselves against races with CPU hotplug. Hence, theoretically
it is possible that a new watchdog thread is started on a hotplugged CPU
while a parameter is being modified, and the thread could thus use a
parameter value that is 'in transition'.
For example, if 'watchdog_thresh' is being set to zero (note: this
disables the lockup detectors) the thread would erroneously use the value
zero as the sample period.
To avoid such races and to keep the /proc handler code consistent,
call
{get|put}_online_cpus() in proc_watchdog_common()
{get|put}_online_cpus() in proc_watchdog_thresh()
{get|put}_online_cpus() in proc_watchdog_cpumask()

hotplug
The lockup detector suspend/resume interface that was introduced by
commit 8c073d27d7ad ("watchdog: introduce watchdog_suspend() and
watchdog_resume()") does not protect itself against races with CPU
hotplug. Hence, theoretically it is possible that a new watchdog thread
is started on a hotplugged CPU while the lockup detector is suspended,
and the thread could thus interfere unexpectedly with the code that
requested to suspend the lockup detector.
Avoid the race by calling
get_online_cpus() in lockup_detector_suspend()
put_online_cpus() in lockup_detector_resume()

The only way to enable a hardlockup to panic the machine is to set
'nmi_watchdog=panic' on the kernel command line.
This makes it awkward for end users and folks who want to run automate
tests (like myself).

In many cases of hardlockup reports, it's actually not possible to know
why it triggered, because the CPU that got stuck is usually waiting on a
resource (with IRQs disabled) in posession of some other CPU is holding.
IOW, we are often looking at the stacktrace of the victim and not the
actual offender.
Introduce sysctl / cmdline parameter that makes it possible to have
hardlockup detector perform all-CPU backtrace.

If kthread_park() returns an error, watchdog_park_threads() should not
blindly 'roll back' the already parked threads to the unparked state.
Instead leave it up to the callers to handle such errors appropriately in
their context. For example, it is redundant to unpark the threads if the
lockup detectors will soon be disabled by the callers anyway.

The original watchdog_park_threads() function that was introduced by
commit 81a4beef91ba ("watchdog: introduce watchdog_park_threads() and
watchdog_unpark_threads()") takes a very simple approach to handle
errors returned by kthread_park(): It attempts to roll back all watchdog
threads to the unparked state. However, this may be undesired behaviour
from the perspective of the caller which may want to handle errors as
appropriate in its specific context. Currently, there are two possible
call chains:
- watchdog suspend/resume interface
lockup_detector_suspend
watchdog_park_threads
- write to parameters in /proc/sys/kernel
proc_watchdog_update
watchdog_enable_all_cpus
update_watchdog_all_cpus
watchdog_park_threads
Instead of 'blindly' attempting to unpark the watchdog threads if a
kthread_park() call fails, the new approach is to disable the lockup
detectors in the above call chains. Failure becomes visible to the user
as follows:
- error messages from lockup_detector_suspend()
or watchdog_enable_all_cpus()
- the state that can be read from /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog_enabled
- the 'write' system call in the latter call chain returns an error
I did not experience kthread_park() failures in practice, I used some
instrumentation to fake error returns from kthread_park() in order to test
the patches.
This patch (of 5):
Restore the previous value of watchdog_thresh _and_ sample_period if
proc_watchdog_update() returns an error. The variables must be consistent
to avoid false positives of the lockup detectors.

Mostly bug fixes.
ARM:
No big features, but many small fixes and prerequisites including:
- a number of fixes for the arch-timer
- introducing proper level-triggered semantics for the arch-timers
- a series of patches to synchronously halt a guest (prerequisite
for IRQ forwarding)
- some tracepoint improvements
- a tweak for the EL2 panic handlers
- some more VGIC cleanups getting rid of redundant state
x86:
Quite a few changes:
- support for VT-d posted interrupts (i.e. PCI devices can inject
interrupts directly into vCPUs). This introduces a new
component (in virt/lib/) that connects VFIO and KVM together.
The same infrastructure will be used for ARM interrupt
forwarding as well.
- more Hyper-V features, though the main one Hyper-V synthetic
interrupt controller will have to wait for 4.5. These will let
KVM expose Hyper-V devices.
- nested virtualization now supports VPID (same as PCID but for
vCPUs) which makes it quite a bit faster
- for future hardware that supports NVDIMM, there is support for
clflushopt, clwb, pcommit
- support for "split irqchip", i.e. LAPIC in kernel +
IOAPIC/PIC/PIT in userspace, which reduces the attack surface of
the hypervisor
- obligatory smattering of SMM fixes
- on the guest side, stable scheduler clock support was rewritten

- On the v2 hierarchy, when controllers are enabled and disabled, all
operations are atomic and can fail and revert cleanly. This allows
->can_attach() failure which is necessary for cpu RT slices.
- Tasks now stay associated with the original cgroups after exit
until released. This allows tracking resources held by zombies
(e.g. pids) and makes it easy to find out where zombies came from
on the v2 hierarchy. The pids controller was broken before these
changes as zombies escaped the limits; unfortunately, updating this
behavior required too many invasive changes and I don't think it's
a good idea to backport them, so the pids controller on 4.3, the
first version which included the pids controller, will stay broken
at least until I'm sure about the cgroup core changes.

Pull core block updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the core block pull request for 4.4. I've got a few more
topic branches this time around, some of them will layer on top of the
core+drivers changes and will come in a separate round. So not a huge
chunk of changes in this round.
This pull request contains:
- Enable blk-mq page allocation tracking with kmemleak, from Catalin.
- Unused prototype removal in blk-mq from Christoph.
- Cleanup of the q->blk_trace exchange, using cmpxchg instead of two
xchg()'s, from Davidlohr.
- A plug flush fix from Jeff.
- Also from Jeff, a fix that means we don't have to update shared tag
sets at init time unless we do a state change. This cuts down boot
times on thousands of devices a lot with scsi/blk-mq.
- blk-mq waitqueue barrier fix from Kosuke.
- Various fixes from Ming:
- Fixes for segment merging and splitting, and checks, for
the old core and blk-mq.
- Potential blk-mq speedup by marking ctx pending at the end
of a plug insertion batch in blk-mq.
- direct-io no page dirty on kernel direct reads.
- A WRITE_SYNC fix for mpage from Roman"
* 'for-4.4/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
blk-mq: avoid excessive boot delays with large lun counts
blktrace: re-write setting q->blk_trace
blk-mq: mark ctx as pending at batch in flush plug path
blk-mq: fix for trace_block_plug()
block: check bio_mergeable() early before merging

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"Quite a new features are included this time.
First off, the Collaborative Processor Performance Control interface
(version 2) defined by ACPI will now be supported on ARM64 along with
a cpufreq frontend for CPU performance scaling.
Second, ACPI gets a new infrastructure for the early probing of IRQ
chips and clock sources (along the lines of the existing similar
mechanism for DT).
Next, the ACPI core and the generic device properties API will now
support a recently introduced hierarchical properties extension of the
_DSD (Device Specific Data) ACPI device configuration object. If the
ACPI platform firmware uses that extension to organize device
properties in a hierarchical way, the kernel will automatically handle
it and make those properties available to device drivers via the
generic device properties API.
It also will be possible to build the ACPICA's AML interpreter
debugger into the kernel now and use that to diagnose AML-related
problems more efficiently. In the future, this should make it
possible to single-step AML execution and do similar things.
Interesting stuff, although somewhat experimental at this point.
Finally, the PM core gets a new mechanism that can be used by device
drivers to distinguish between suspend-to-RAM (based on platform
firmware support) and suspend-to-idle (or other variants of system
suspend the platform firmware is not involved in) and possibly
optimize their device suspend/resume handling accordingly.
In addition to that, some existing features are re-organized quite
substantially.
First, the ACPI-based handling of PCI host bridges on x86 and ia64 is
unified and the common code goes into the ACPI core (so as to reduce
code duplication and eliminate non-essential differences between the
two architectures in that area).
Second, the Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework is
reorganized to make the code easier to find and follow.
Next, the cpufreq core's sysfs interface is reorganized to get rid of
the "primary CPU" concept for configurations in which the same
performance scaling settings are shared between multiple CPUs.
Finally, some interfaces that aren't necessary any more are dropped
from the generic power domains framework.
On top of the above we have some minor extensions, cleanups and bug
fixes in multiple places, as usual.
Specifics:
- ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150930 (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng).
The most significant change is to allow the AML debugger to be
built into the kernel. On top of that there is an update related
to the NFIT table (the ACPI persistent memory interface) and a few
fixes and cleanups.
- ACPI CPPC2 (Collaborative Processor Performance Control v2) support
along with a cpufreq frontend (Ashwin Chaugule).
This can only be enabled on ARM64 at this point.
- New ACPI infrastructure for the early probing of IRQ chips and
clock sources (Marc Zyngier).
- Support for a new hierarchical properties extension of the ACPI
_DSD (Device Specific Data) device configuration object allowing
the kernel to handle hierarchical properties (provided by the
platform firmware this way) automatically and make them available
to device drivers via the generic device properties interface
(Rafael Wysocki).
- Generic device properties API extension to obtain an index of
certain string value in an array of strings, along the lines of
of_property_match_string(), but working for all of the supported
firmware node types, and support for the "dma-names" device
property based on it (Mika Westerberg).
- ACPI core fix to parse the MADT (Multiple APIC Description Table)
entries in the order expected by platform firmware (and mandated by
the specification) to avoid confusion on systems with more than 255
logical CPUs (Lukasz Anaczkowski).
- Consolidation of the ACPI-based handling of PCI host bridges on x86
and ia64 (Jiang Liu).
- ACPI core fixes to ensure that the correct IRQ number is used to
represent the SCI (System Control Interrupt) in the cases when it
has been re-mapped (Chen Yu).
- New ACPI backlight quirk for Lenovo IdeaPad S405 (Hans de Goede).
- ACPI EC driver fixes (Lv Zheng).
- Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter, Insu Yun, Jiri
Kosina, Rami Rosen, Rasmus Villemoes).
- New mechanism in the PM core allowing drivers to check if the
platform firmware is going to be involved in the upcoming system
suspend or if it has been involved in the suspend the system is
resuming from at the moment (Rafael Wysocki).
This should allow drivers to optimize their suspend/resume handling
in some cases and the changes include a couple of users of it (the
i8042 input driver, PCI PM).
- PCI PM fix to prevent runtime-suspended devices with PME enabled
from being resumed during system suspend even if they aren't
configured to wake up the system from sleep (Rafael Wysocki).
- New mechanism to report the number of a wakeup IRQ that woke up the
system from sleep last time (Alexandra Yates).
- Removal of unused interfaces from the generic power domains
framework and fixes related to latency measurements in that code
(Ulf Hansson, Daniel Lezcano).
- cpufreq core sysfs interface rework to make it handle CPUs that
share performance scaling settings (represented by a common cpufreq
policy object) more symmetrically (Viresh Kumar).
This should help to simplify the CPU offline/online handling among
other things.
- cpufreq core fixes and cleanups (Viresh Kumar).
- intel_pstate fixes related to the Turbo Activation Ratio (TAR)
mechanism on client platforms which causes the turbo P-states range
to vary depending on platform firmware settings (Srinivas
Pandruvada).
- intel_pstate sysfs interface fix (Prarit Bhargava).
- Assorted cpufreq driver (imx, tegra20, powernv, integrator) fixes
and cleanups (Bai Ping, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz, Shilpasri G
Bhat, Luis de Bethencourt).
- cpuidle mvebu driver cleanups (Russell King).
- OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework code reorganization to
make it more maintainable (Viresh Kumar).
- Intel Broxton support for the RAPL (Running Average Power Limits)
power capping driver (Amy Wiles).
- Assorted power management code fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter,
Geert Uytterhoeven, Geliang Tang, Luis de Bethencourt, Rasmus
Villemoes)"
