Vadim Pasternak 52675da1d0 Documentation/ABI: Add new attribute for mlxreg-io sysfs interfaces
Add documentation for the new attributes for systems of type MQM87xx,
MSN34xx, MSN37xx. It includes the attributes related to ComEx resets,
system platform reset, JTAG interface enabling, additional CPLD device.
All the above system are equipped with ComEX board, have JTAG selector
and extra CPLD.

Guido Kiener b32abf8f5d usb: usbtmc: Remove sysfs group TermChar and auto_abort
As all the properties of the usbtmc driver can now be
controlled on a per file descriptor basis by ioctl functions
the sysfs interface is of limited use.
We are not aware about applications that are using the sysfs
parameter TermChar, TermCharEnabled or auto_abort.

Marek Marczykowski-Górecki 197ecb3802 xen/balloon: add runtime control for scrubbing ballooned out pages
Scrubbing pages on initial balloon down can take some time, especially
in nested virtualization case (nested EPT is slow). When HVM/PVH guest is
started with memory= significantly lower than maxmem=, all the extra
pages will be scrubbed before returning to Xen. But since most of them
weren't used at all at that point, Xen needs to populate them first
(from populate-on-demand pool). In nested virt case (Xen inside KVM)
this slows down the guest boot by 15-30s with just 1.5GB needed to be
returned to Xen.

Add runtime parameter to enable/disable it, to allow initially disabling
scrubbing, then enable it back during boot (for example in initramfs).
Such usage relies on assumption that a) most pages ballooned out during
initial boot weren't used at all, and b) even if they were, very few
secrets are in the guest at that time (before any serious userspace
kicks in).
Convert CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES to CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES_DEFAULT (also
enabled by default), controlling default value for the new runtime
switch.

Linus Torvalds 899fbc33fd platform-drivers-x86 for v4.19-1
The driver for Silead touchscreen configurations has been renamed
 from silead_dmi to touchscreen_dmi since it starts supporting other
 touchscreens which require some DMI quirks. At the same release cycle
 it gets expanded to cover cases for Chuwi Vi10, ONDA V891W,
 Connect Tablet 9, Onda V820w, and Cube KNote i1101 tablets.
 
 Another bunch of changes is related to Mellanox platform code to allow
 user space to communicate with Mellanox for system control and
 monitoring purposes. The driver notifies user on hotplug device signal
 receiving.
 
 ASUS WMI drivers recognize lid flip action on UX360, and correctly
 toggles airplane mode LED. In addition the keyboard backlight toggle
 gets support.
 
 ThinkPad ACPI driver enables support for calculator key (on at least P52).
 It also has been fixed to support three characters model designators,
 which are used for modern laptops. Earlier the battery, marked as BAT1,
 on ThinkPad laptops has not been configured properly, which is fixed.
 On the opposite the multi-battery configurations now probed correctly.
 
 Dell SMBIOS driver starts working on some Dell servers which do not
 support token interface. The regression with backlight detection has
 also been fixed. In order to support dock mode on some laptops,
 Intel virtual button driver has been fixed. The last but not least
 is the fix to Intel HID driver due to changes in Dell systems that
 prevented to use power button.

Linus Torvalds d5acba26bf Char/Misc driver patches for 4.19-rc1
Here is the bit set of char/misc drivers for 4.19-rc1
 
 There is a lot here, much more than normal, seems like everyone is
 writing new driver subsystems these days...  Anyway, major things here
 are:
 	- new FSI driver subsystem, yet-another-powerpc low-level
 	  hardware bus
 	- gnss, finally an in-kernel GPS subsystem to try to tame all of
 	  the crazy out-of-tree drivers that have been floating around
 	  for years, combined with some really hacky userspace
 	  implementations.  This is only for GNSS receivers, but you
 	  have to start somewhere, and this is great to see.
 Other than that, there are new slimbus drivers, new coresight drivers,
 new fpga drivers, and loads of DT bindings for all of these and existing
 drivers.
 
 Full details of everything is in the shortlog.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
 issues.

Mike Rapoport says:

  These patches convert files in Documentation/vm to ReST format, add an
  initial index and link it to the top level documentation.

  There are no contents changes in the documentation, except few spelling
  fixes. The relatively large diffstat stems from the indentation and
  paragraph wrapping changes.

  I've tried to keep the formatting as consistent as possible, but I could
  miss some places that needed markup and add some markup where it was not
  necessary.

Stephen Hemminger 37b96a4931 uio_hv_generic: support sub-channels
Use sysfs to allow supporting sub-channels. The userspace application
makes request to host to create sub-channels and the UIO kernel
driver populates the sysfs per-channel directory with a binary
attribute file that can be used to read/write ring.

Jeremy Kerr 7fbcf3afe6 drivers/serial: Add driver for Aspeed virtual UART
This change adds a driver for the 16550-based Aspeed virtual UART
device. We use a similar process to the of_serial driver for device
probe, but expose some VUART-specific functions through sysfs too.

The VUART is two UART 'front ends' connected by their FIFO (no actual
serial line in between). One is on the BMC side (management controller)
and one is on the host CPU side.

This driver is for the BMC side. The sysfs files allow the BMC
userspace, which owns the system configuration policy, to specify at
what IO port and interrupt number the host side will appear to the host
on the Host <-> BMC LPC bus. It could be different on a different system
(though most of them use 3f8/4).

OpenPOWER host firmware doesn't like it when the host-side of the
VUART's FIFO is not drained. This driver only disables host TX discard
mode when the port is in use. We set the VUART enabled bit when we bind
to the device, and clear it on unbind.

We don't want to do this on open/release, as the host may be using this
bit to configure serial output modes, which is independent of whether
the devices has been opened by BMC userspace.

Pull orangefs filesystem from Mike Marshall.

This finally merges the long-pending orangefs filesystem, which has been
much cleaned up with input from Al Viro over the last six months.  From
the documentation file:

 "OrangeFS is an LGPL userspace scale-out parallel storage system.  It
  is ideal for large storage problems faced by HPC, BigData, Streaming
  Video, Genomics, Bioinformatics.

  Orangefs, originally called PVFS, was first developed in 1993 by Walt
  Ligon and Eric Blumer as a parallel file system for Parallel Virtual
  Machine (PVM) as part of a NASA grant to study the I/O patterns of
  parallel programs.

  Orangefs features include:

    - Distributes file data among multiple file servers
    - Supports simultaneous access by multiple clients
    - Stores file data and metadata on servers using local file system
      and access methods
    - Userspace implementation is easy to install and maintain
    - Direct MPI support
    - Stateless"

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
 "Highlights:

   1) Support more Realtek wireless chips, from Jes Sorenson.

   2) New BPF types for per-cpu hash and arrap maps, from Alexei
      Starovoitov.

   3) Make several TCP sysctls per-namespace, from Nikolay Borisov.

   4) Allow the use of SO_REUSEPORT in order to do per-thread processing
   of incoming TCP/UDP connections.  The muxing can be done using a
   BPF program which hashes the incoming packet.  From Craig Gallek.

   5) Add a multiplexer for TCP streams, to provide a messaged based
      interface.  BPF programs can be used to determine the message
      boundaries.  From Tom Herbert.

   6) Add 802.1AE MACSEC support, from Sabrina Dubroca.

   7) Avoid factorial complexity when taking down an inetdev interface
      with lots of configured addresses.  We were doing things like
      traversing the entire address less for each address removed, and
      flushing the entire netfilter conntrack table for every address as
      well.

   8) Add and use SKB bulk free infrastructure, from Jesper Brouer.

   9) Allow offloading u32 classifiers to hardware, and implement for
      ixgbe, from John Fastabend.

  10) Allow configuring IRQ coalescing parameters on a per-queue basis,
      from Kan Liang.

  11) Extend ethtool so that larger link mode masks can be supported.
      From David Decotigny.

  12) Introduce devlink, which can be used to configure port link types
      (ethernet vs Infiniband, etc.), port splitting, and switch device
      level attributes as a whole.  From Jiri Pirko.

  13) Hardware offload support for flower classifiers, from Amir Vadai.

  14) Add "Local Checksum Offload".  Basically, for a tunneled packet
      the checksum of the outer header is 'constant' (because with the
      checksum field filled into the inner protocol header, the payload
      of the outer frame checksums to 'zero'), and we can take advantage
      of that in various ways.  From Edward Cree"

Stefan Richter e38e5ce81c firewire: ABI documentation: libhinawa uses firewire-cdev
Hinawa [https://github.com/takaswie/libhinawa/] is a library for
access to IEEE 1394 devices.  As a gobject introspection library, it
facilitates writing applications in high-level programming languages.
Besides generic I/O via /dev/fw* (firewire-cdev ABI), it also supports
control of IEEE 1394 audio hardware via ALSA hwdep ABIs which are
provided by sound/firewire drivers.

João Paulo Rechi Vita 4b636dc659 rfkill: Move "state" sysfs file back to stable
There is still quite a bit of code using this interface, so we can't
just remove it. Hopefully it will be possible in the future, but since
its scheduled removal date is past 2 years already, we are better having
the documentation reflecting the current state of things.
