Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "First round of SCSI updates for the 4.4 merge window.

  This batch includes a couple of minor fixes, some core changes to help
  issues we're still seeing with the suspend/resume code and updates to

  We're (actually Martin Petersen is) trying to wrangle a mpt2/mpt3sas
  merger for the merge window which will help enormously with the
  maintenance burden, so there will be another round before it closes"

Pull intel iommu updates from David Woodhouse:
 "This adds "Shared Virtual Memory" (aka PASID support) for the Intel
  IOMMU.  This allows devices to do DMA using process address space,
  translated through the normal CPU page tables for the relevant mm.

  With corresponding support added to the i915 driver, this has been
  tested with the graphics device on Skylake.  We don't have the
  required TLP support in our PCIe root ports for supporting discrete
  devices yet, so it's only integrated devices that can do it so far"

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "The cgroup core saw several significant updates this cycle:

   - percpu_rwsem for threadgroup locking is reinstated.  This was
     temporarily dropped due to down_write latency issues.  Oleg's
     rework of percpu_rwsem which is scheduled to be merged in this
     merge window resolves the issue.

   - 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.

 "This is quite a quiet release in terms of volume of patches but it
  includes a couple of really nice core changes - the work Sascha has

  Highlights include:

   - Support from Sascha Hauer for setting the voltage of parent
     supplies based on requests from their children.  This is used both
     to allow set_voltage() to work through a dumb switch and to improve
     the efficiency of systems where DCDCs are used to supply LDOs by
     minimising the voltage drop over the LDOs.

 "Two major components to this update.

   1) The clustered-raid1 support from SUSE is nearly complete.  There
      are a few outstanding issues being worked on.  Maybe half a dozen

   2) The first stage of journalled-raid5 support from Facebook makes an
      appearance.  With a journal device configured (typically NVRAM or
      SSD), the "RAID5 write hole" should be closed - a crash during
      degraded operations cannot result in data corruption.

      The next stage will be to use the journal as a write-behind cache
      so that latency can be reduced and in some cases throughput
      increased by performing more full-stripe writes.

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)"

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:

 - "genirq: Introduce generic irq migration for cpu hotunplugged" patch
   merged from tip/irq/for-arm to allow the arm64-specific part to be
   upstreamed via the arm64 tree

 - CPU feature detection reworked to cope with heterogeneous systems
   where CPUs may not have exactly the same features.  The features
   reported by the kernel via internal data structures or ELF_HWCAP are
   delayed until all the CPUs are up (and before user space starts)

 - Support for 16KB pages, with the additional bonus of a 36-bit VA
   space, though the latter only depending on EXPERT

 - Implement native {relaxed, acquire, release} atomics for arm64

 - New ASID allocation algorithm which avoids IPI on roll-over, together
   with TLB invalidation optimisations (using local vs global where
   feasible)

 - KASan support for arm64

 - EFI_STUB clean-up and isolation for the kernel proper (required by
   KASan)

 - copy_{to,from,in}_user optimisations (sharing the memcpy template)

 - perf: moving arm64 to the arm32/64 shared PMU framework

 - L1_CACHE_BYTES increased to 128 to accommodate Cavium hardware

 - Support for the contiguous PTE hint on kernel mapping (16 consecutive
   entries may be able to use a single TLB entry)

 - Generic CONFIG_HZ now used on arm64

 - defconfig updates

Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
 "There is only one new feature in this pull for the 4.4 merge window,
  most of it is small enhancements, cleanup and bug fixes:

   - Add the s390 backend for the software dirty bit tracking.  This
     adds two new pgtable functions pte_clear_soft_dirty and
     pmd_clear_soft_dirty which is why there is a hit to
     arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h in this pull request.

   - A series of cleanup patches for the AP bus, this includes the
     removal of the support for two outdated crypto cards (PCICC and
     PCICA).

   - The irq handling / signaling on buffer full in the runtime
     instrumentation code is dropped.

   - Some micro optimizations: remove unnecessary memory barriers for a
     couple of functions: [smb_]rmb, [smb_]wmb, atomics, bitops, and for
     spin_unlock.  Use the builtin bswap if available and make
     test_and_set_bit_lock more cache friendly.

   - Statistics and a tracepoint for the diagnose calls to the
     hypervisor.

   - The CPU measurement facility support to sample KVM guests is
     improved.

   - The vector instructions are now always enabled for user space
     processes if the hardware has the vector facility.  This simplifies
     the FPU handling code.  The fpu-internal.h header is split into fpu
     internals, api and types just like x86.

   - Cleanup and improvements for the common I/O layer.

   - Rework udelay to solve a problem with kprobe.  udelay has busy loop
     semantics but still uses an idle processor state for the wait"

Pull networking updates from David Miller:

Changes of note:

 1) Allow to schedule ICMP packets in IPVS, from Alex Gartrell.

 2) Provide FIB table ID in ipv4 route dumps just as ipv6 does, from
    David Ahern.

 3) Allow the user to ask for the statistics to be filtered out of
    ipv4/ipv6 address netlink dumps.  From Sowmini Varadhan.

 4) More work to pass the network namespace context around deep into
    various packet path APIs, starting with the netfilter hooks.  From
    Eric W Biederman.

 5) Add layer 2 TX/RX checksum offloading to qeth driver, from Thomas
    Richter.

 6) Use usec resolution for SYN/ACK RTTs in TCP, from Yuchung Cheng.

    established hash table just like any other socket too.

    From Eric Dumazet.

15) Provide more bridging attributes to netlink, from Nikolay
    Aleksandrov.

16) Use hash based algorithm for ipv4 multipath routing, this was very
    long overdue.  From Peter Nørlund.

18) Allow non-root execution of EBPF programs, from Alexei Starovoitov.

19) Support SO_INCOMING_CPU as setsockopt, from Eric Dumazet.  This
    influences the port binding selection logic used by SO_REUSEPORT.
