Let the user decide whether power consumption or jitter is the
more important consideration for their machines.
Quoting removal commit af5ab277ded04bd9bc6b048c5a2f0e7d70ef0867:
"Historically, Linux has tried to make the regular timer tick on the
various CPUs not happen at the same time, to avoid contention on
xtime_lock.
Nowadays, with the tickless kernel, this contention no longer happens
since time keeping and updating are done differently. In addition,
this skew is actually hurting power consumption in a measurable way on
many-core systems."
Problems:
- Contrary to the above, systems do encounter contention on both
xtime_lock and RCU structure locks when the tick is synchronized.
- Moderate sized RT systems suffer intolerable jitter due to the tick
being synchronized.
- SGI reports the same for their large systems.
- Fully utilized systems reap no power saving benefit from skew removal,
but do suffer from resulting induced lock contention.
- 0209f649 rcu: limit rcu_node leaf-level fanout
This patch was born to combat lock contention which testing showed
to have been _induced by_ skew removal. Skew the tick, contention
disappeared virtually completely.

Pull sparc changes from David S. Miller:
"This has the generic strncpy_from_user() implementation architectures
can now use, which we've been developing on linux-arch over the past
few days.
For good measure I ran both a 32-bit and a 64-bit glibc testsuite run,
and the latter of which pointed out an adjustment I needed to make to
sparc's user_addr_max() definition. Linus, you were right, STACK_TOP
was not the right thing to use, even on sparc itself :-)
From Sam Ravnborg, we have a conversion of sparc32 over to the common
alloc_thread_info_node(), since the aspect which originally blocked
our doing so (sun4c) has been removed."
Fix up trivial arch/sparc/Kconfig and lib/Makefile conflicts.
* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/sparc:
sparc: Fix user_addr_max() definition.

Pull more relocation fixes from Peter Anvin:
"These are additional symbols that have been found to either be
absolute or look like they might end up being absolute on one version
of GNU ld or another. Unfortunately we have since that a different
GNU ld version, 2.21, can generate bogus absolute symbols; again, this
would have caused a malfunctioning kernel on x86-32 if relocated.
The relocs.c changes changed silent corruption to a build time error.
It is worth noting that if the various barrier symbols we use were
more consistent in the namespace used this probably could be reduced
to a single regexp; if nothing else it looks like there is migration
toward a common __(start|stop)___.* namespace."

Lots of gpio changes, both to core code and drivers. Changes do touch
architecture code to remove the need for separate arm/gpio.h includes
in most architectures. Some new drivers are added, and a number of
gpio drivers are converted to use irq_domains for gpio inputs used as
interrupts. Device tree support has been amended to allow multiple
gpio_chips to use the same device tree node. Remaining changes are
primarily bug fixes.

"This is the main merge window request for the drm.
It's big, but jam packed will lots of features and of course 0
regressions. (okay maybe there'll be one).
Highlights:
- new KMS drivers for server GPU chipsets: ast, mgag200 and cirrus
(qemu only). These drivers use the generic modesetting drivers.
- initial prime/dma-buf support for i915, nouveau, radeon, udl and
exynos
- switcheroo audio support: so GPUs with HDMI can turn off the sound
driver without crashing stuff.
- There are some patches drifting outside drivers/gpu into x86 and
EFI for better handling of multiple video adapters in Apple Macs,
they've got correct acks except one trivial fixup.
- Core:
edid parser has better DMT and reduced blanking support,
crtc properties,
plane properties,
- Drivers:
exynos: add 2D core accel support, prime support, hdmi features
intel: more Haswell support, initial Valleyview support, more
hdmi infoframe fixes, update MAINTAINERS for Daniel, lots of
cleanups and fixes
radeon: more HDMI audio support, improved GPU lockup recovery
support, remove nested mutexes, less memory copying on PCIE, fix

gma500: cleanups, 1080p support, acpi fixes
nouveau: better nva3 memory reclocking, kepler accel (needs
external firmware rip), async buffer moves on nv84+ hw.

stuff, and I've a few fixes building up, but I'd decided I'd better
get rid of the main pull sooner rather than later, so the audio guys

From Tim Bird.
4) SKB coalescing in TCP needs to have stricter checks, otherwise we'll
try to coalesce overlapping frags and crash. Fix from Eric Dumazet.
5) RCU routing table lookups can race with free_fib_info(), causing
crashes when we deref the device pointers in the route. Fix by
releasing the net device in the RCU callback. From Yanmin Zhang.

Pull user-space probe instrumentation from Ingo Molnar:
"The uprobes code originates from SystemTap and has been used for years
in Fedora and RHEL kernels. This version is much rewritten, reviews
from PeterZ, Oleg and myself shaped the end result.
This tree includes uprobes support in 'perf probe' - but SystemTap
(and other tools) can take advantage of user probe points as well.
Sample usage of uprobes via perf, for example to profile malloc()
calls without modifying user-space binaries.
First boot a new kernel with CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT=y enabled.
If you don't know which function you want to probe you can pick one
from 'perf top' or can get a list all functions that can be probed
within libc (binaries can be specified as well):
$ perf probe -F -x /lib/libc.so.6
To probe libc's malloc():
$ perf probe -x /lib64/libc.so.6 malloc
Added new event:
probe_libc:malloc (on 0x7eac0)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1
Make use of it to create a call graph (as the flat profile is going to
look very boring):
$ perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -gR make
[ perf record: Woken up 173 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 44.190 MB perf.data (~1930712

The core uprobes design is fairly straightforward: uprobes probe
points register themselves at (inode:offset) addresses of
libraries/binaries, after which all existing (or new) vmas that map
that address will have a software breakpoint injected at that address.
vmas are COW-ed to preserve original content. The probe points are
kept in an rbtree.
If user-space executes the probed inode:offset instruction address
then an event is generated which can be recovered from the regular
perf event channels and mmap-ed ring-buffer.
Multiple probes at the same address are supported, they create a
dynamic callback list of event consumers.
The basic model is further complicated by the XOL speedup: the
original instruction that is probed is copied (in an architecture
specific fashion) and executed out of line when the probe triggers.
The XOL area is a single vma per process, with a fixed number of
entries (which limits probe execution parallelism).
The API: uprobes are installed/removed via
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events, the API is integrated to
align with the kprobes interface as much as possible, but is separate
to it.
Injecting a probe point is privileged operation, which can be relaxed
by setting perf_paranoid to -1.
You can use multiple probes as well and mix them with kprobes and
regular PMU events or tracepoints, when instrumenting a task."
Fix up trivial conflicts in mm/memory.c due to previous cleanup of
unmap_single_vma().

closer to being able to build allyesconfig or allmodconfig,
and it enables the Debian default generic config to build.

The symbol jiffies is created in the linker script as an alias to
jiffies_64. Unfortunately this is done outside any section, and
apparently GNU ld 2.21 doesn't carry the section with it, so we end up
with an absolute symbol and therefore a broken kernel.
Add jiffies and jiffies_64 to the whitelist.
The most disturbing bit with this discovery is that it shows that we
have had multiple linker bugs in this area crossing multiple
generations, and have been silently building bad kernels for some time.

Currently vga_switcheroo_unregister_handler is called unconditionally when
nouveau is unloaded, even when nouveau never registered a handler. This
interferes with other switcheroo handlers, as vga_switcheroo doesn't check who
called unregister_handler, but simply unregisters the current handler. This
patch adds a check so unregister is only called if a handler was registered by
nouveau before.

Been tested on each major revision that's relevant here, but I'm sure there
are still bugs waiting to be ironed out.
This is a *very* invasive change.
There's a couple of pieces left that I don't like much (eg. other engines
using fifo_priv for the channel count), but that's an artefact of there
being a master channel list still. This is changing, slowly.

All the places this stuff is actually needed tends to be chipset-specific
anyway, so we're able to just inline the register bashing instead.
The parts of the common code that still directly touch PFIFO temporarily
have conditionals, these will be removed in subsequent commits that will
refactor the fifo modules into engine modules like graph/mpeg etc.
