Pull orangefs updates from Mike Mashall: "Orangefs cleanups and enablement of O_DIRECT in open. Cleanups: - remove some unused defines, and also some obfuscatory ones. - remove a redundant xattr handler. - Remove useless xattr prefix arguments. - Be more picky about uid and gid handling WRT namespaces. Our use of current_user_ns() instead of init_user_ns left open the possibility that users could spoof their uids or gids when the server was running in a different namespace in "default security" mode. - Allow open(2) to succeed with O_DIRECT" * tag 'for-linus-4.8-ofs1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hubcap/linux: orangefs: fix namespace handling Orangefs: allow O_DIRECT in open orangefs: Remove useless xattr prefix arguments orangefs: Remove redundant "trusted." xattr handler orangefs: Remove useless defines

Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o: "The major change this cycle is deleting ext4's copy of the file system encryption code and switching things over to using the copies in fs/crypto. I've updated the MAINTAINERS file to add an entry for fs/crypto listing Jaeguk Kim and myself as the maintainers. There are also a number of bug fixes, most notably for some problems found by American Fuzzy Lop (AFL) courtesy of Vegard Nossum.

Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki: "The new feaures here are the support for ACPI overlays (allowing ACPI tables to be loaded at any time from EFI variables or via configfs) and the LPI (Low-Power Idle) support. Also notable is the ACPI-based NUMA support for ARM64. Apart from that we have two new drivers, for the DPTF (Dynamic Power and Thermal Framework) power participant device and for the Intel Broxton WhiskeyCove PMIC, some more PMIC-related changes, support for the Boot Error Record Table (BERT) in APEI and support for platform-initiated graceful shutdown. Plus two new pieces of documentation and usual assorted fixes and cleanups in quite a few places. Specifics: - Support for ACPI SSDT overlays allowing Secondary System Description Tables (SSDTs) to be loaded at any time from EFI variables or via configfs (Octavian Purdila, Mika Westerberg). - Support for the ACPI LPI (Low-Power Idle) feature introduced in ACPI 6.0 and allowing processor idle states to be represented in ACPI tables in a hierarchical way (with the help of Processor Container objects) and support for ACPI idle states management on ARM64, based on LPI (Sudeep Holla). - General improvements of ACPI support for NUMA and ARM64 support for ACPI-based NUMA (Hanjun Guo, David Daney, Robert Richter). - General improvements of the ACPI table upgrade mechanism and ARM64 support for that feature (Aleksey Makarov, Jon Masters). - Support for the Boot Error Record Table (BERT) in APEI and improvements of kernel messages printed by the error injection code (Huang Ying, Borislav Petkov). - New driver for the Intel Broxton WhiskeyCove PMIC operation region and support for the REGS operation region on Broxton, PMIC code cleanups (Bin Gao, Felipe Balbi, Paul Gortmaker). - New driver for the power participant device which is part of the Dynamic Power and Thermal Framework (DPTF) and DPTF-related code reorganization (Srinivas Pandruvada). - Support for the platform-initiated graceful shutdown feature introduced in ACPI 6.1 (Prashanth Prakash). - ACPI button driver update related to lid input events generated automatically on initialization and system resume that have been problematic for some time (Lv Zheng). - ACPI EC driver cleanups (Lv Zheng). - Documentation of the ACPICA release automation process and the in-kernel ACPI AML debugger (Lv Zheng). - New blacklist entry and two fixes for the ACPI backlight driver (Alex Hung, Arvind Yadav, Ralf Gerbig). - Cleanups of the ACPI pci_slot driver (Joe Perches, Paul Gortmaker). - ACPI CPPC code changes to make it more robust against possible defects in ACPI tables and new symbol definitions for PCC (Hoan Tran). - System reboot code modification to execute the ACPI _PTS (Prepare To Sleep) method in addition to _TTS (Ocean He). - ACPICA-related change to carry out lock ordering checks in ACPICA if ACPICA debug is enabled in the kernel (Lv Zheng). - Assorted minor fixes and cleanups (Andy Shevchenko, Baoquan He, Bhaktipriya Shridhar, Paul Gortmaker, Rafael Wysocki)" * tag 'acpi-4.8-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (71 commits) ACPI: enable ACPI_PROCESSOR_IDLE on ARM64 arm64: add support for ACPI Low Power Idle(LPI) drivers: firmware: psci: initialise idle states using ACPI LPI cpuidle: introduce CPU_PM_CPU_IDLE_ENTER macro for ARM{32, 64} arm64: cpuidle: drop __init section marker to arm_cpuidle_init ACPI / processor_idle: Add support for Low Power Idle(LPI) states ACPI / processor_idle: introduce ACPI_PROCESSOR_CSTATE ACPI / DPTF: move int340x_thermal.c to the DPTF folder ACPI / DPTF: Add DPTF power participant driver ACPI / lpat: make it explicitly non-modular ACPI / dock: make dock explicitly non-modular ACPI / PCI: make pci_slot explicitly non-modular ACPI / PMIC: remove modular references from non-modular code ACPICA: Linux: Enable ACPI_MUTEX_DEBUG for Linux kernel ACPI: Rename configfs.c to acpi_configfs.c to prevent link error ACPI / debugger: Add AML debugger documentation ACPI: Add documentation describing ACPICA release automation ACPI: add support for loading SSDTs via configfs ACPI: add support for configfs efi / ACPI: load SSTDs from EFI variables ...

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki: "Again, the majority of changes go into the cpufreq subsystem, but there are no big features this time. The cpufreq changes that stand out somewhat are the governor interface rework and improvements related to the handling of frequency tables. Apart from those, there are fixes and new device/CPU IDs in drivers, cleanups and an improvement of the new schedutil governor. Next, there are some changes in the hibernation core, including a fix for a nasty problem related to the MONITOR/MWAIT usage by CPU offline during resume from hibernation, a few core improvements related to memory management during resume, a couple of additional debug features and cleanups. Finally, we have some fixes and cleanups in the devfreq subsystem, generic power domains framework improvements related to system suspend/resume, support for some new chips in intel_idle and in the power capping RAPL driver, a new version of the AnalyzeSuspend utility and some assorted fixes and cleanups. Specifics: - Rework the cpufreq governor interface to make it more straightforward and modify the conservative governor to avoid using transition notifications (Rafael Wysocki). - Rework the handling of frequency tables by the cpufreq core to make it more efficient (Viresh Kumar). - Modify the schedutil governor to reduce the number of wakeups it causes to occur in cases when the CPU frequency doesn't need to be changed (Steve Muckle, Viresh Kumar). - Fix some minor issues and clean up code in the cpufreq core and governors (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar). - Add Intel Broxton support to the intel_pstate driver (Srinivas Pandruvada). - Fix problems related to the config TDP feature and to the validity of the MSR_HWP_INTERRUPT register in intel_pstate (Jan Kiszka, Srinivas Pandruvada). - Make intel_pstate update the cpu_frequency tracepoint even if the frequency doesn't change to avoid confusing powertop (Rafael Wysocki). - Clean up the usage of __init/__initdata in intel_pstate, mark some of its internal variables as __read_mostly and drop an unused structure element from it (Jisheng Zhang, Carsten Emde). - Clean up the usage of some duplicate MSR symbols in intel_pstate and turbostat (Srinivas Pandruvada). - Update/fix the powernv, s3c24xx and mvebu cpufreq drivers (Akshay Adiga, Viresh Kumar, Ben Dooks). - Fix a regression (introduced during the 4.5 cycle) in the pcc-cpufreq driver by reverting the problematic commit (Andreas Herrmann). - Add support for Intel Denverton to intel_idle, clean up Broxton support in it and make it explicitly non-modular (Jacob Pan, Jan Beulich, Paul Gortmaker). - Add support for Denverton and Ivy Bridge server to the Intel RAPL power capping driver and make it more careful about the handing of MSRs that may not be present (Jacob Pan, Xiaolong Wang). - Fix resume from hibernation on x86-64 by making the CPU offline during resume avoid using MONITOR/MWAIT in the "play dead" loop which may lead to an inadvertent "revival" of a "dead" CPU and a page fault leading to a kernel crash from it (Rafael Wysocki). - Make memory management during resume from hibernation more straightforward (Rafael Wysocki). - Add debug features that should help to detect problems related to hibernation and resume from it (Rafael Wysocki, Chen Yu). - Clean up hibernation core somewhat (Rafael Wysocki). - Prevent KASAN from instrumenting the hibernation core which leads to large numbers of false-positives from it (James Morse). - Prevent PM (hibernate and suspend) notifiers from being called during the cleanup phase if they have not been called during the corresponding preparation phase which is possible if one of the other notifiers returns an error at that time (Lianwei Wang). - Improve suspend-related debug printout in the tasks freezer and clean up suspend-related console handling (Roger Lu, Borislav Petkov). - Update the AnalyzeSuspend script in the kernel sources to version 4.2 (Todd Brandt). - Modify the generic power domains framework to make it handle system suspend/resume better (Ulf Hansson). - Make the runtime PM framework avoid resuming devices synchronously when user space changes the runtime PM settings for them and improve its error reporting (Rafael Wysocki, Linus Walleij). - Fix error paths in devfreq drivers (exynos, exynos-ppmu, exynos-bus) and in the core, make some devfreq code explicitly non-modular and change some of it into tristate (Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz, Peter Chen, Paul Gortmaker). - Add DT support to the generic PM clocks management code and make it export some more symbols (Jon Hunter, Paul Gortmaker). - Make the PCI PM core code slightly more robust against possible driver errors (Andy Shevchenko). - Make it possible to change DESTDIR and PREFIX in turbostat (Andy Shevchenko)" * tag 'pm-4.8-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (89 commits) Revert "cpufreq: pcc-cpufreq: update default value of cpuinfo_transition_latency" PM / hibernate: Introduce test_resume mode for hibernation cpufreq: export cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq() cpufreq: Disallow ->resolve_freq() for drivers providing ->target_index() PCI / PM: check all fields in pci_set_platform_pm() cpufreq: acpi-cpufreq: use cached frequency mapping when possible cpufreq: schedutil: map raw required frequency to driver frequency cpufreq: add cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq() cpufreq: intel_pstate: Check cpuid for MSR_HWP_INTERRUPT intel_pstate: Update cpu_frequency tracepoint every time cpufreq: intel_pstate: clean remnant struct element PM / tools: scripts: AnalyzeSuspend v4.2 x86 / hibernate: Use hlt_play_dead() when resuming from hibernation cpufreq: powernv: Replacing pstate_id with frequency table index intel_pstate: Fix MSR_CONFIG_TDP_x addressing in core_get_max_pstate() PM / hibernate: Image data protection during restoration PM / hibernate: Add missing braces in __register_nosave_region() PM / hibernate: Clean up comments in snapshot.c PM / hibernate: Clean up function headers in snapshot.c PM / hibernate: Add missing braces in hibernate_setup() ...

Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe: "This branch also contains core changes. I've come to the conclusion that from 4.9 and forward, I'll be doing just a single branch. We often have dependencies between core and drivers, and it's hard to always split them up appropriately without pulling core into drivers when that happens. That said, this contains: - separate secure erase type for the core block layer, from Christoph. - set of discard fixes, from Christoph. - bio shrinking fixes from Christoph, as a followup up to the op/flags change in the core branch. - map and append request fixes from Christoph. - NVMeF (NVMe over Fabrics) code from Christoph.

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "Some big changes this month, headlined by the addition of a new formatted documentation mechanism based on the Sphinx system. The objectives here are to make it easier to create better-integrated (and more attractive) documents while (eventually) dumping our one-of-a-kind, cobbled-together system for something that is widely used and maintained by others. There's a fair amount of information what's being done, why, and how to use it in: https://lwn.net/Articles/692704/ https://lwn.net/Articles/692705/ Closer to home, Documentation/kernel-documentation.rst describes how it works. For now, the new system exists alongside the old one; you should soon see the GPU documentation converted over in the DRM pull and some significant media conversion work as well. Once all the docs have been moved over and we're convinced that the rough edges (of which are are a few) have been smoothed over, the DocBook-based stuff should go away. Primary credit is to Jani Nikula for doing the heavy lifting to make this stuff actually work; there has also been notable effort from Markus Heiser, Daniel Vetter, and Mauro Carvalho Chehab. Expect a couple of conflicts on the new index.rst file over the course of the merge window; they are trivially resolvable. That file may be a bit of a conflict magnet in the short term, but I don't expect that situation to last for any real length of time.

Performance tests showed up to 8 percent gain with the additional domain. - the new crc-32 checksum crypto module uses the vector-galois-field multiply and sum SIMD instruction to speed up crc-32 and crc-32c. - proper __ro_after_init support, this requires RO_AFTER_INIT_DATA in the generic vmlinux.lds linker script definitions. - kcov instrumentation support. A prerequisite for that is the inline assembly basic block cleanup, which is the reason for the net/iucv/iucv.c change. - support for 2GB pages is added to the hugetlbfs backend. Then there are two removals: - the oprofile hardware sampling support is dead code and is removed. The oprofile user space uses the perf interface nowadays. - the ETR clock synchronization is removed, this has been superseeded be the STP clock synchronization.

Pull KVM leftovers from Radim Krčmář: "This is a combination of two pull requests for 4.7-rc8 that were not merged due to looking hairy. I have changed the tag message to focus on circumstances of contained reverts as they were likely the reason behind rejection. This merge introduces three patches that are later reverted, - Switching of MSR_TSC_AUX in SVM was thought to cause a host misbehavior, but it was later cleared of those doubts and the patch moved code to a hot path, so we reverted it. That patch also needed a fix for 32 bit builds and both were reverted in one go. - Al Viro noticed that a fix for a leak in an error path was not valid with the given API and provided a better fix, so the original patch was reverted. Then there are two VMX fixes that move code around because VMCS was not accessed between vcpu_load() and vcpu_put(), a simple ARM VHE fix, and two one-liners for PML and MTRR" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: arm64: KVM: VHE: Context switch MDSCR_EL1 KVM: VMX: handle PML full VMEXIT that occurs during event delivery Revert "KVM: SVM: fix trashing of MSR_TSC_AUX" KVM: SVM: do not set MSR_TSC_AUX on 32-bit builds KVM: don't use anon_inode_getfd() before possible failures Revert "KVM: release anon file in failure path of vm creation" KVM: release anon file in failure path of vm creation KVM: nVMX: Fix memory corruption when using VMCS shadowing kvm: vmx: ensure VMCS is current while enabling PML KVM: SVM: fix trashing of MSR_TSC_AUX KVM: MTRR: fix kvm_mtrr_check_gfn_range_consistency page fault

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar: "With over 300 commits it's been a busy cycle - with most of the work concentrated on the tooling side (as it should). The main kernel side enhancements were: - Add per event callchain limit: Recently we introduced a sysctl to tune the max-stack for all events for which callchains were requested: $ sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_stack kernel.perf_event_max_stack = 127 Now this patch introduces a way to configure this per event, i.e. this becomes possible: $ perf record -e sched:*/max-stack=2/ -e block:*/max-stack=10/ -a allowing finer tuning of how much buffer space callchains use. This uses an u16 from the reserved space at the end, leaving another u16 for future use. There has been interest in even finer tuning, namely to control the max stack for kernel and userspace callchains separately. Further discussion is needed, we may for instance use the remaining u16 for that and when it is present, assume that the sample_max_stack introduced in this patch applies for the kernel, and the u16 left is used for limiting the userspace callchain (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Optimize AUX event (hardware assisted side-band event) delivery (Kan Liang) - Rework Intel family name macro usage (this is partially x86 arch work) (Dave Hansen) - Refine and fix Intel LBR support (David Carrillo-Cisneros) - Add support for Intel 'TopDown' events (Andi Kleen) - Intel uncore PMU driver fixes and enhancements (Kan Liang) - ... other misc changes. Here's an incomplete list of the tooling enhancements (but there's much more, see the shortlog and the git log for details): - Support cross unwinding, i.e. collecting '--call-graph dwarf' perf.data files in one machine and then doing analysis in another machine of a different hardware architecture. This enables, for instance, to do: $ perf record -a --call-graph dwarf on a x86-32 or aarch64 system and then do 'perf report' on it on a x86_64 workstation (He Kuang) - Allow reading from a backward ring buffer (one setup via sys_perf_event_open() with perf_event_attr.write_backward = 1) (Wang Nan) - Finish merging initial SDT (Statically Defined Traces) support, see cset comments for details about how it all works (Masami Hiramatsu) - Support attaching eBPF programs to tracepoints (Wang Nan) - Add demangling of symbols in programs written in the Rust language (David Tolnay) - Add support for tracepoints in the python binding, including an example, that sets up and parses sched:sched_switch events, tools/perf/python/tracepoint.py (Jiri Olsa) - Introduce --stdio-color to set up the color output mode selection in 'annotate' and 'report', allowing emit color escape sequences when redirecting the output of these tools (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Add 'callindent' option to 'perf script -F', to indent the Intel PT call stack, making this output more ftrace-like (Adrian Hunter, Andi Kleen) - Allow dumping the object files generated by llvm when processing eBPF scriptlet events (Wang Nan) - Add stackcollapse.py script to help generating flame graphs (Paolo Bonzini) - Add --ldlat option to 'perf mem' to specify load latency for loads event (e.g. cpu/mem-loads/ ) (Jiri Olsa) - Tooling support for Intel TopDown counters, recently added to the kernel (Andi Kleen)" * 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (303 commits) perf tests: Add is_printable_array test perf tools: Make is_printable_array global perf script python: Fix string vs byte array resolving perf probe: Warn unmatched function filter correctly perf cpu_map: Add more helpers perf stat: Balance opening and reading events tools: Copy linux/{hash,poison}.h and check for drift perf tools: Remove include/linux/list.h from perf's MANIFEST tools: Copy the bitops files accessed from the kernel and check for drift Remove: kernel unistd*h files from perf's MANIFEST, not used perf tools: Remove tools/perf/util/include/linux/const.h perf tools: Remove tools/perf/util/include/asm/byteorder.h perf tools: Add missing linux/compiler.h include to perf-sys.h perf jit: Remove some no-op error handling perf jit: Add missing curly braces objtool: Initialize variable to silence old compiler objtool: Add -I$(srctree)/tools/arch/$(ARCH)/include/uapi perf record: Add --tail-synthesize option perf session: Don't warn about out of order event if write_backward is used perf tools: Enable overwrite settings ...

This reverts commit e083a21f. Not needed at all, tools/perf/util/perf_regs.h, included via: #include "perf_regs.h" Should have a definition for PERF_REGS_MAX, and since this is dependent on HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT, fixes the build on powerpc, noticed by trying to cross compile this from ubuntu16.04 with a locally build libz & elfutils pair, since those are not available in multilib packages.
