Merge branch 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus
Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
"This is the main pull request for MIPS for 4.5 plus some 4.4 fixes.
The executive summary:
- ATH79 platform improvments, use DT bindings for the ATH79 USB PHY.
- Avoid useless rebuilds for zboot.
- jz4780: Add NEMC, BCH and NAND device tree nodes
- Initial support for the MicroChip's DT platform. As all the device
drivers are missing this is still of limited use.
- Some Loongson3 cleanups.
- The unavoidable whitespace polishing.
- Reduce clock skew when synchronizing the CPU cycle counters on CPU
startup.
- Add MIPS R6 fixes.
- Lots of cleanups across arch/mips as fallout from KVM.
- Lots of minor fixes and changes for IEEE 754-2008 support to the
FPU emulator / fp-assist software.
- Minor Ralink, BCM47xx and bcm963xx platform support improvments.
- Support SMP on BCM63168"

mm: memcontrol: allow to disable kmem accounting for cgroup2
Kmem accounting might incur overhead that some users can't put up with. Besides, the implementation is still considered unstable. So let's provide a way to disable it for those users who aren't happy with it. To disable kmem accounting for cgroup2, pass cgroup.memory=nokmem at boot time.

MIPS: Add IEEE Std 754 conformance mode selection
Add an `ieee754=' kernel parameter to control IEEE Std 754 conformance mode. Use separate flags copied from the respective CPU feature flags, and adjusted according to the conformance mode selected, to make binaries requesting individual NaN encoding modes accepted or rejected as needed. Update the initial setting for FCSR and, in the full FPU emulation mode, its read-only mask accordingly. Accept the mode selection requested for legacy processors as well. As with the EF_MIPS_NAN2008 ELF file header flag adjust both ABS2008 and NAN2008 bits at the same time, to match the choice made for hardware currently implemented. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

mm: memcontrol: account socket memory in unified hierarchy memory controller
Socket memory can be a significant share of overall memory consumed by common workloads. In order to provide reasonable resource isolation in the unified hierarchy, this type of memory needs to be included in the tracking/accounting of a cgroup under active memory resource control. Overhead is only incurred when a non-root control group is created AND the memory controller is instructed to track and account the memory footprint of that group. cgroup.memory=nosocket can be specified on the boot commandline to override any runtime configuration and forcibly exclude socket memory from active memory resource control.

tty: amba-pl011: use iotype instead of access_32b to track 32-bit I/O
Instead of defining a new field in the uart_amba_port structure, use the
existing iotype field of the uart_port structure, which is intended for
this purpose. If we need to use 32-bit register access, we set iotype
to UPIO_MEM32, otherwise we set it to UPIO_MEM.
For early console, specify the "mmio32" option on the kernel command-line.
Example:
earlycon=pl011,mmio32,0x3ced1000

x86/apic: Introduce apic_extnmi command line parameter
This patch introduces a command line parameter apic_extnmi: apic_extnmi=( bsp|all|none ) The default value is "bsp" and this is the current behavior: only the Boot-Strapping Processor receives an external NMI. "all" allows external NMIs to be broadcast to all CPUs. This would raise the success rate of panic on NMI when BSP hangs in NMI context or the external NMI is swallowed by other NMI handlers on the BSP. If you specify "none", no CPUs receive external NMIs. This is useful for the dump capture kernel so that it cannot be shot down by accidentally pressing the external NMI button (on platforms which have it) while saving a crash dump.

serial: support 16-bit register interface for console
Currently, 8-bit (MMIO) and 32-bit (MMIO32) register interfaces are supported for the 8250 console, but the 16-bit (MMIO16) is not. The 8250 UART device on my board is connected to a 16-bit bus and my main motivation is to use earlycon with it.

workqueue: implement lockup detector
Workqueue stalls can happen from a variety of usage bugs such as
missing WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag or concurrency managed work item
indefinitely staying RUNNING. These stalls can be extremely difficult
to hunt down because the usual warning mechanisms can't detect
workqueue stalls and the internal state is pretty opaque.
To alleviate the situation, this patch implements workqueue lockup
detector. It periodically monitors all worker_pools periodically and,
if any pool failed to make forward progress longer than the threshold
duration, triggers warning and dumps workqueue state as follows.
BUG: workqueue lockup - pool cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 stuck for 31s!
Showing busy workqueues and worker pools:
workqueue events: flags=0x0
pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=17/256

workqueue cgroup_pidlist_destroy: flags=0x0
pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=1/1

...
The detection mechanism is controller through kernel parameter
workqueue.watchdog_thresh and can be updated at runtime through the
sysfs module parameter file.

rcu: Remove TINY_RCU bloat from pointless boot parameters
The rcu_expedited, rcu_normal, and rcu_normal_after_boot kernel boot parameters are pointless in the case of TINY_RCU because in that case synchronous grace periods, both expedited and normal, are no-ops. However, these three symbols contribute several hundred bytes of bloat. This commit therefore uses CPP directives to avoid compiling this code in TINY_RCU kernels.

rcu: Add rcu_normal kernel parameter to suppress expediting
Although expedited grace periods can be quite useful, and although their OS jitter has been greatly reduced, they can still pose problems for extreme real-time workloads. This commit therefore adds a rcu_normal kernel boot parameter (which can also be manipulated via sysfs) to suppress expedited grace periods, that is, to treat requests for expedited grace periods as if they were requests for normal grace periods. If both rcu_expedited and rcu_normal are specified, rcu_normal wins. This means that if you are relying on expedited grace periods to speed up boot, you will want to specify rcu_expedited on the kernel command line, and then specify rcu_normal via sysfs once boot completes.

USB: limit usbfs snooping of URB contents
The usbfs_snoop facility can be very useful for debugging problems involving usbfs. However, it always prints out the entire contents of every URB. When dealing with large quantities of data, this can be less than helpful. This patch ameliorates the situation by adding a module parameter to usbcore for controlling the maximum number of bytes to print when snooping an URB. This makes debugging much easier.

kernel/watchdog.c: perform all-CPU backtrace in case of hard lockup
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.

- more Hyper-V features, though the main one Hyper-V synthetic interrupt

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,

Power management and ACPI updates for v4.4-rc1
- 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).

Merge tag 'pm+acpi-4.4-rc1-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
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).

rcu: Eliminate panic when silly boot-time fanout specified
This commit loosens rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf range checks and replaces a panic() with a fallback to compile-time values. This fallback is accompanied by a WARN_ON(), and both occur when the rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf value is too small to accommodate the number of CPUs. For example, given the current four-level limit for the rcu_node tree, a system with more than 16 CPUs built with CONFIG_FANOUT=2 must have rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf larger than 2.

edid_firmware=eDP-1:edid/1280x480.bin,DP-2:edid/1920x1080.bin
v2: Use strsep() to simplify parsing of comma seperated string. (Matt)
Move initial bail before strdup. (Matt)
v3: Changed conditionals after while loop to make more readable (Jani)
Updated kernel-parameters.txt to reflect changes (Jani)

- Ensure flexfiles pNFS driver updates the inode after write finishes
- flexfiles must not pollute the attribute cache with attrbutes from the DS
- Fix a protocol error in layoutreturn
- Fix a protocol issue with NFSv4.1 CLOSE stateids
Bugfixes + cleanups
- pNFS blocks bugfixes from Christoph

Merge branch 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main RCU changes in this cycle are:
- the combination of tree geometry-initialization simplifications and
OS-jitter-reduction changes to expedited grace periods. These two
are stacked due to the large number of conflicts that would
otherwise result.
- privatize smp_mb__after_unlock_lock().
This commit moves the definition of smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() to
kernel/rcu/tree.h, in recognition of the fact that RCU is the only
thing using this, that nothing else is likely to use it, and that
it is likely to go away completely.
- documentation updates.
- torture-test updates.
- misc fixes"
