       "Mostly refactoring/clean-up:
      
         - CPU ops and PSCI (Power State Coordination Interface) refactoring
           following the merging of the arm64 ACPI support, together with
           handling of Trusted (secure) OS instances
      
         - Using fixmap for permanent FDT mapping, removing the initial dtb
           placement requirements (within 512MB from the start of the kernel
           image).  This required moving the FDT self reservation out of the
           memreserve processing
      
         - Idmap (1:1 mapping used for MMU on/off) handling clean-up
      
         - Removing flush_cache_all() - not safe on ARM unless the MMU is off.
           Last stages of CPU power down/up are handled by firmware already
      
         - "Alternatives" (run-time code patching) refactoring and support for
           immediate branch patching, GICv3 CPU interface access
      
         - User faults handling clean-up
      
        And some fixes:
      
         - Fix for VDSO building with broken ELF toolchains
      
         - Fix another case of init_mm.pgd usage for user mappings (during
           ASID roll-over broadcasting)
      
         - Fix for FPSIMD reloading after CPU hotplug
      
         - Fix for missing syscall trace exit

      Pull first batch of KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
       "The bulk of the changes here is for x86.  And for once it's not for
        silicon that no one owns: these are really new features for everyone.
      
        Details:
      
         - ARM:
              several features are in progress but missed the 4.2 deadline.
              So here is just a smattering of bug fixes, plus enabling the
              VFIO integration.
      
         - s390:
              Some fixes/refactorings/optimizations, plus support for 2GB
              pages.
      
         - x86:
              * host and guest support for marking kvmclock as a stable
                scheduler clock.
              * support for write combining.
              * support for system management mode, needed for secure boot in
                guests.
              * a bunch of cleanups required for the above
              * support for virtualized performance counters on AMD
              * legacy PCI device assignment is deprecated and defaults to "n"
                in Kconfig; VFIO replaces it
      
              On top of this there are also bug fixes and eager FPU context
              loading for FPU-heavy guests.
      
         - Common code:
              Support for multiple address spaces; for now it is used only for
              x86 SMM but the s390 folks also have plans"
      
      * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (124 commits)

      bridge: vlan: flush the dynamically learned entries on port vlan delete · 1ea2d020
      Nikolay Aleksandrov authored
      Add a new argument to br_fdb_delete_by_port which allows to specify a
      vid to match when flushing entries and use it in nbp_vlan_delete() to
      flush the dynamically learned entries of the vlan/port pair when removing
      a vlan from a port. Before this patch only the local mac was being
      removed and the dynamically learned ones were left to expire.
      Note that the do_all argument is still respected and if specified, the
      vid will be ignored.

      bridge: multicast: add a comment to br_port_state_selection about blocking state · 9aa66382
      Nikolay Aleksandrov authored
      Add a comment to explain why we're not disabling port's multicast when it
      goes in blocking state. Since there's a check in the timer's function which
      bypasses the timer if the port's in blocking/disabled state, the timer will
      simply expire and stop without sending more queries.

      net: inet_diag: export IPV6_V6ONLY sockopt · 20462155
      Phil Sutter authored
      For AF_INET6 sockets, the value of struct ipv6_pinfo.ipv6only is
      exported to userspace. It indicates whether a socket bound to in6addr_any
      listens on IPv4 as well as IPv6. Since the socket is natively IPv6, it is not
      listed by e.g. 'ss -l -4'.
      
      This patch is accompanied by an appropriate one for iproute2 to enable
      the additional information in 'ss -e'.

      stmmac: troubleshoot unexpected bits in des0 & des1 · f1590670
      Alexey Brodkin authored
      Current implementation of descriptor init procedure only takes
      care about setting/clearing ownership flag in "des0"/"des1"
      fields while it is perfectly possible to get unexpected bits
      set because of the following factors:
      
       [1] On driver probe underlying memory allocated with
           dma_alloc_coherent() might not be zeroed and so
           it will be filled with garbage.
      
       [2] During driver operation some bits could be set by SD/MMC
           controller (for example error flags etc).
      
      And unexpected and/or randomly set flags in "des0"/"des1"
      fields may lead to unpredictable behavior of GMAC DMA block.
      
      This change addresses both items above with:
      
       [1] Use of dma_zalloc_coherent() instead of simple
           dma_alloc_coherent() to make sure allocated memory is
           zeroed. That shouldn't affect performance because
           this allocation only happens once on driver probe.
      
       [2] Do explicit zeroing of both "des0" and "des1" fields
           of all buffer descriptors during initialization of
           DMA transfer.
      
      And while at it fixed identation of dma_free_coherent()
      counterpart as well.

      Andy Gospodarek says:
      
      ====================
      changes to make ipv4 routing table aware of next-hop link status
      
      This series adds the ability to have the Linux kernel track whether or
      not a particular route should be used based on the link-status of the
      interface associated with the next-hop.
      
      Before this patch any link-failure on an interface that was serving as a
      gateway for some systems could result in those systems being isolated
      from the rest of the network as the stack would continue to attempt to
      send frames out of an interface that is actually linked-down.  When the
      kernel is responsible for all forwarding, it should also be responsible
      for taking action when the traffic can no longer be forwarded -- there
      is no real need to outsource link-monitoring to userspace anymore.
      
      This feature is only enabled with the new per-interface or ipv4 global
      sysctls called 'ignore_routes_with_linkdown'.
      
      net.ipv4.conf.all.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0
      net.ipv4.conf.default.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0
      net.ipv4.conf.lo.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0
      ...
      
      When the above sysctls are set, the kernel will not only report to
      userspace that the link is down, but it will also report to userspace
      that a route is dead.  This will signal to userspace that the route will
      not be selected.
      
      With the new sysctls set, the following behavior can be observed
      (interface p8p1 is link-down):
      
      default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1
      10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1  proto kernel  scope link  src 10.0.5.15
      70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1  proto kernel  scope link  src 70.0.0.1
      80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1  proto kernel  scope link  src 80.0.0.1 dead linkdown
      90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1  metric 1 dead linkdown
      90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1  metric 2
      90.0.0.1 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1  src 70.0.0.1
          cache
      local 80.0.0.1 dev lo  src 80.0.0.1
          cache <local>
      80.0.0.2 via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1  src 10.0.5.15
          cache
      
      While the route does remain in the table (so it can be modified if
      needed rather than being wiped away as it would be if IFF_UP was
      cleared), the proper next-hop is chosen automatically when the link is
      down.  Now interface p8p1 is linked-up:
      
      default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1
      10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1  proto kernel  scope link  src 10.0.5.15
      70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1  proto kernel  scope link  src 70.0.0.1
      80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1  proto kernel  scope link  src 80.0.0.1
      90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1  metric 1
      90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1  metric 2
      192.168.56.0/24 dev p2p1  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.56.2
      90.0.0.1 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1  src 80.0.0.1
          cache
      local 80.0.0.1 dev lo  src 80.0.0.1
          cache <local>
      80.0.0.2 dev p8p1  src 80.0.0.1
          cache
      
      and the output changes to what one would expect.
      
      If the global or interface sysctl is not set, the following output would
      be expected when p8p1 is down:
      
      default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1
      10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1  proto kernel  scope link  src 10.0.5.15
      70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1  proto kernel  scope link  src 70.0.0.1
      80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1  proto kernel  scope link  src 80.0.0.1 linkdown
      90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1  metric 1 linkdown
      90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1  metric 2
      
      If the dead flag does not appear there should be no expectation that the
      kernel would skip using this route due to link being down.
      
      v2: Split kernel changes into 2 patches: first to add linkdown flag and
      second to add new sysctl settings.  Also took suggestion from Alex to
      simplify code by only checking sysctl during fib lookup and suggestion
      from Scott to add a per-interface sysctl.  Added iproute2 patch to
      recognize and print linkdown flag.
      
      v3: Code cleanups along with reverse-path checks suggested by Alex and
      small fixes related to problems found when multipath was disabled.
      
      v4: Drop binary sysctls
      
      v5: Whitespace and variable declaration fixups suggested by Dave
      
      v6: Style changes noticed by Dave and checkpath suggestions.
      
      v7: Last checkpatch fixup.
      
      Though there were some that preferred not to have a configuration option
      and to make this behavior the default when it was discussed in Ottawa
      earlier this year since "it was time to do this."  I wanted to propose
      the config option to preserve the current behavior for those that desire
      it.  I'll happily remove it if Dave and Linus approve.
      
      An IPv6 implementation is also needed (DECnet too!), but I wanted to
      start with the IPv4 implementation to get people comfortable with the
      idea before moving forward.  If this is accepted the IPv6 implementation
      can be posted shortly.
      
      There was also a request for switchdev support for this, but that will
      be posted as a followup as switchdev does not currently handle dead
      next-hops in a multi-path case and I felt that infra needed to be added
      first.
      
      FWIW, we have been running the original version of this series with a
      global sysctl and our customers have been happily using a backported
      version for IPv4 and IPv6 for >6 months.

      net: ipv4 sysctl option to ignore routes when nexthop link is down · 0eeb075f
      Andy Gospodarek authored
      This feature is only enabled with the new per-interface or ipv4 global
      sysctls called 'ignore_routes_with_linkdown'.
      
      net.ipv4.conf.all.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0
      net.ipv4.conf.default.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0
      net.ipv4.conf.lo.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0
      ...
      
      When the above sysctls are set, will report to userspace that a route is
      dead and will no longer resolve to this nexthop when performing a fib
      lookup.  This will signal to userspace that the route will not be
      selected.  The signalling of a RTNH_F_DEAD is only passed to userspace
      if the sysctl is enabled and link is down.  This was done as without it
      the netlink listeners would have no idea whether or not a nexthop would
      be selected.   The kernel only sets RTNH_F_DEAD internally if the
      interface has IFF_UP cleared.
      
      With the new sysctl set, the following behavior can be observed
      (interface p8p1 is link-down):
      
      default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1
      10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1  proto kernel  scope link  src 10.0.5.15

      80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1  proto kernel  scope link  src 80.0.0.1 dead linkdown
      90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1  metric 1 dead linkdown
      90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1  metric 2
      90.0.0.1 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1  src 70.0.0.1
          cache
      local 80.0.0.1 dev lo  src 80.0.0.1
          cache <local>
      80.0.0.2 via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1  src 10.0.5.15
          cache
      
      While the route does remain in the table (so it can be modified if
      needed rather than being wiped away as it would be if IFF_UP was
      cleared), the proper next-hop is chosen automatically when the link is
      down.  Now interface p8p1 is linked-up:
      
      default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1
      10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1  proto kernel  scope link  src 10.0.5.15
      70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1  proto kernel  scope link  src 70.0.0.1
      80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1  proto kernel  scope link  src 80.0.0.1
      90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1  metric 1
      90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1  metric 2
      192.168.56.0/24 dev p2p1  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.56.2
      90.0.0.1 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1  src 80.0.0.1
          cache
      local 80.0.0.1 dev lo  src 80.0.0.1
          cache <local>
      80.0.0.2 dev p8p1  src 80.0.0.1
          cache
      
      and the output changes to what one would expect.
      
      If the sysctl is not set, the following output would be expected when
      p8p1 is down:
      
      default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1
      10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1  proto kernel  scope link  src 10.0.5.15
      70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1  proto kernel  scope link  src 70.0.0.1
      80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1  proto kernel  scope link  src 80.0.0.1 linkdown
      90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1  metric 1 linkdown
      90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1  metric 2
      
      Since the dead flag does not appear, there should be no expectation that
      the kernel would skip using this route due to link being down.
      
      v2: Split kernel changes into 2 patches, this actually makes a
      behavioral change if the sysctl is set.  Also took suggestion from Alex
      to simplify code by only checking sysctl during fib lookup and
      suggestion from Scott to add a per-interface sysctl.
      
      v3: Code clean-ups to make it more readable and efficient as well as a
      reverse path check fix.
      
      v4: Drop binary sysctl
      
      v5: Whitespace fixups from Dave

      net: Cavium: Fix MAC address setting in shutdown state · bd049a90
      Pavel Fedin authored
      This bug pops up with NetworkManager on Fedora 21. NetworkManager tends to
      stop the interface (nicvf_stop() is called) before changing settings. In
      stopped state MAC cannot be sent to a PF. However, when the interface is
      restarted (nicvf_open() is called), we ping the PF using NIC_MBOX_MSG_READY
      message, and the PF replies back with old MAC address, overriding what we
      had after MAC setting from userspace. As a result, we cannot set MAC
      address using NetworkManager.
      
      This patch introduces special tracking of MAC change in stopped state so
      that the correct new MAC address is sent to a PF when interface is reopen.
