Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
"This set of changes is a number of smaller things that have been
overlooked in other development cycles focused on more fundamental
change. The devpts changes are small things that were a distraction
until we managed to kill off DEVPTS_MULTPLE_INSTANCES. There is an
trivial regression fix to autofs for the unprivileged mount changes
that went in last cycle. A pair of ioctls has been added by Andrey
Vagin making it is possible to discover the relationships between
namespaces when referring to them through file descriptors.
The big user visible change is starting to add simple resource limits
to catch programs that misbehave. With namespaces in general and user
namespaces in particular allowing users to use more kinds of
resources, it has become important to have something to limit errant
programs. Because the purpose of these limits is to catch errant
programs the code needs to be inexpensive to use as it always on, and
the default limits need to be high enough that well behaved programs
on well behaved systems don't encounter them.
To this end, after some review I have implemented per user per user
namespace limits, and use them to limit the number of namespaces. The
limits being per user mean that one user can not exhause the limits of
another user. The limits being per user namespace allow contexts where
the limit is 0 and security conscious folks can remove from their
threat anlysis the code used to manage namespaces (as they have
historically done as it root only). At the same time the limits being
per user namespace allow other parts of the system to use namespaces.
Namespaces are increasingly being used in application sand boxing
scenarios so an all or nothing disable for the entire system for the
security conscious folks makes increasing use of these sandboxes
impossible.
There is also added a limit on the maximum number of mounts present in
a single mount namespace. It is nontrivial to guess what a reasonable
system wide limit on the number of mount structure in the kernel would
be, especially as it various based on how a system is using
containers. A limit on the number of mounts in a mount namespace
however is much easier to understand and set. In most cases in
practice only about 1000 mounts are used. Given that some autofs
scenarious have the potential to be 30,000 to 50,000 mounts I have set
the default limit for the number of mounts at 100,000 which is well
above every known set of users but low enough that the mount hash
tables don't degrade unreaonsably.
These limits are a start. I expect this estabilishes a pattern that
other limits for resources that namespaces use will follow. There has
been interest in making inotify event limits per user per user
namespace as well as interest expressed in making details about what
is going on in the kernel more visible"

Pull staging and IIO updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big staging and IIO driver pull request for 4.9-rc1.
There are a lot of patches in here, the majority due to the
drivers/staging/greybus/ subsystem being merged in with full
development history that went back a few years, in order to preserve
the work that those developers did over time.
Lots and lots of tiny cleanups happened in the tree as well, due to
the Outreachy application process and lots of other developers showing
up for the first time to clean code up. Along with those changes, we
deleted a wireless driver, and added a raspberrypi driver (currently
marked broken), and lots of new iio drivers.
Overall the tree still shrunk with more lines removed than added,
about 10 thousand lines removed in total. Full details are in the very
long shortlog below.
All of this has been in the linux-next tree with no issues. There will
be some merge problems with other subsystem trees, but those are all
minor problems and shouldn't be hard to work out when they happen
(MAINTAINERS and some lustre build problems with the IB tree)"
And furter from me asking for clarification about greybus:
"Right now there is a phone from Motorola shipping with this code (a
slightly older version, but the same tree), so even though Ara is not
alive in the same form, the functionality is happening. We are working
with the developers of that phone to merge the newer stuff in with
their fork so they can use the upstream version in future versions of
their phone product line.
Toshiba has at least one chip shipping in their catalog that
needs/uses this protocol over a Unipro link, and rumor has it that
there might be more in the future.
There are also other users of the greybus protocols, there is a talk
next week at ELC that shows how it is being used across a network
connection to control a device, and previous ELC talks have showed the
protocol stack being used over USB to drive embedded Linux boards.
I've also talked to some people who are starting to work to add a host
controller driver to control arduinos as the greybus PHY protocols are
very useful to control a serial/i2c/spio/whatever device across a
random physical link, as it is a way to have a self-describing device
be attached to a host without needing manual configuration.
So yes, people are using it, and there is still the chance that it
will show up in a phone/laptop/tablet/whatever from Google in the
future as well, the tech isn't dead, even if the original large phone
project happens to be"

The MTC packet provides a 8-bit slice of CTC which is related to TSC by
the TMA packet, however the TMA packet only provides the lower 16 bits
of CTC. If mtc_shift > 8 then some of the MTC bits are not in the CTC
provided by the TMA packet. Fix-up the last_mtc calculated from the TMA
packet by copying the missing bits from the current MTC assuming the
least difference between the two, and that the current MTC comes after
last_mtc.
