Linus Torvalds dfc25e4503 Merge tag 'cleanup-3.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc
Pull ARM SoC cleanups from Arnd Bergmann:
 "These cleanup patches are mainly move stuff around and should all be
  harmless.  They are mainly split out so that other branches can be
  based on top to avoid conflicts.

  Notable changes are:

   - We finally remove all mach/timex.h, after CLOCK_TICK_RATE is no
     longer used (Uwe Kleine-König)
   - The Qualcomm MSM platform is split out into legacy mach-msm and
     new-style mach-qcom, to allow easier maintainance of the new
     hardware support without regressions (Kumar Gala)
   - A rework of some of the Kconfig logic to simplify multiplatform
     support (Rob Herring)
   - Samsung Exynos gets closer to supporting multiplatform (Sachin
     Kamat and others)
   - mach-bcm3528 gets merged into mach-bcm (Stephen Warren)
   - at91 gains some common clock framework support (Alexandre Belloni,
     Jean-Jacques Hiblot and other French people)"

Linus Torvalds 2d1eb87ae1 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm
Pull ARM changes from Russell King:

 - Perf updates from Will Deacon:
   - Support for Qualcomm Krait processors (run perf on your phone!)
   - Support for Cortex-A12 (run perf stat on your FPGA!)
   - Support for perf_sample_event_took, allowing us to automatically decrease
     the sample rate if we can't handle the PMU interrupts quickly enough
     (run perf record on your FPGA!).

 - Basic uprobes support from David Long:
     This patch series adds basic uprobes support to ARM. It is based on
     patches developed earlier by Rabin Vincent. That approach of adding
     hooks into the kprobes instruction parsing code was not well received.
     This approach separates the ARM instruction parsing code in kprobes out
     into a separate set of functions which can be used by both kprobes and
     uprobes. Both kprobes and uprobes then provide their own semantic action
     tables to process the results of the parsing.

 - ARMv7M (microcontroller) updates from Uwe Kleine-König

 - OMAP DMA updates (recently added Vinod's Ack even though they've been
   sitting in linux-next for a few months) to reduce the reliance of
   omap-dma on the code in arch/arm.

 - SA11x0 changes from Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov and Alexander Shiyan

 - Support for Cortex-A12 CPU

 - Align support for ARMv6 with ARMv7 so they can cooperate better in a
   single zImage.

 - Addition of first AT_HWCAP2 feature bits for ARMv8 crypto support.

 - Removal of IRQ_DISABLED from various ARM files

 - Improved efficiency of virt_to_page() for single zImage

 - Patch from Ulf Hansson to permit runtime PM callbacks to be available for
   AMBA devices for suspend/resume as well.

 - Finally kill asm/system.h on ARM.

Linus Torvalds 7df934526c Merge branch 'cross-rename' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs
Pull renameat2 system call from Miklos Szeredi:
 "This adds a new syscall, renameat2(), which is the same as renameat()
  but with a flags argument.

  The purpose of extending rename is to add cross-rename, a symmetric
  variant of rename, which exchanges the two files.  This allows
  interesting things, which were not possible before, for example
  atomically replacing a directory tree with a symlink, etc...  This
  also allows overlayfs and friends to operate on whiteouts atomically.

  Andy Lutomirski also suggested a "noreplace" flag, which disables the
  overwriting behavior of rename.

  These two flags, RENAME_EXCHANGE and RENAME_NOREPLACE are only
  implemented for ext4 as an example and for testing"

[ NOTE! This merge effective drops commit 4329b93b28 ("of: Reduce
  indentation in of_graph_get_next_endpoint").

  The of_graph_get_next_endpoint() function was moved and renamed by
  commit fd9fdb78a9 ("[media] of: move graph helpers from
  drivers/media/v4l2-core to drivers/of").  It was originally called
  v4l2_of_get_next_endpoint() and lived in the file
  drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-of.c.

  In that original location, it was then fixed to support empty port
  nodes by commit b9db140c1e ("[media] v4l: of: Support empty port
  nodes"), and that commit clashes badly with the dropped "Reduce
  intendation" commit.  I had to choose one or the other, and decided
  that the "Support empty port nodes" commit was more important ]

Linus Torvalds 154d6f18a4 Merge tag 'gpio-v3.15-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio
Pull bulk of gpio updates from Linus Walleij:
 "A pretty big chunk of changes this time, but it has all been on
  rotation in linux-next and had some testing.  Of course there will be
  some amount of fixes on top...

   - Merged in a branch of irqchip changes from Thomas Gleixner: we need
     to have new callbacks from the irqchip to determine if the GPIO
     line will be eligible for IRQs, and this callback must be able to
     say "no".  After some thinking I got the branch from tglx and have
     switched all current users over to use this.

   - Based on tglx patches, we have added some generic irqchip helpers
     in the gpiolib core.  These will help centralize code when GPIO
     drivers have simple chained/cascaded IRQs.  Drivers will still
     define their irqchip vtables, but the gpiolib core will take care
     of irqdomain set-up, mapping from local offsets to Linux irqs, and
     reserve resources by marking the GPIO lines for IRQs.

   - Initially the PL061 and Nomadik GPIO/pin control drivers have been
     switched over to use the new gpiochip-to-irqchip infrastructure
     with more drivers expected for the next kernel cycle.  The
     factoring of just two drivers still makes it worth it so it is
     already a win.

   - A new driver for the Synopsys DesignWare APB GPIO block.

   - Modify the DaVinci GPIO driver to be reusable also for the new TI
     Keystone architecture.

   - A new driver for the LSI ZEVIO SoCs.

   - Delete the obsolte tnetv107x driver.

   - Some incremental work on GPIO descriptors: have
     gpiod_direction_output() use a logical level, respecting assertion
     polarity through ACTIVE_LOW flags, adding gpiod_direction_output_raw()
     for the case where you want to set that very value.  Add
     gpiochip_get_desc() to fetch a GPIO descriptor from a specific
     offset on a certain chip inside driver code.

   - Switch ACPI GPIO code over to using gpiochip_get_desc() and get rid
     of gpio_to_desc().

   - The ACPI GPIO event handling code has been reworked after
     encountering an actual real life implementation.

   - Support for ACPI GPIO operation regions.

   - Generic GPIO chips can now be assigned labels/names from platform
     data.

   - We now clamp values returned from GPIO drivers to the boolean [0,1]
     range.

   - Some improved documentation on how to use the polarity flag was
     added.

   - a large slew of incremental driver updates and non-critical fixes.
     Some targeted for stable"

Andreas Rohner 2cc88f3a5f nilfs2: implementation of NILFS_IOCTL_SET_SUINFO ioctl
With this ioctl the segment usage entries in the SUFILE can be updated
from userspace.

This is useful, because it allows the userspace GC to modify and update
segment usage entries for specific segments, which enables it to avoid
unnecessary write operations.

If a segment needs to be cleaned, but there is no or very little
reclaimable space in it, the cleaning operation basically degrades to a
useless moving operation.  In the end the only thing that changes is the
location of the data and a timestamp in the segment usage information.
With this ioctl the GC can skip the cleaning and update the segment
usage entries directly instead.

This is basically a shortcut to cleaning the segment.  It is still
necessary to read the segment summary information, but the writing of
the live blocks can be skipped if it's not worth it.

Josh Triplett 8e3072a23f SubmittingPatches: document the use of git
Most of the mechanical portions of SubmittingPatches exist to help patch
submitters replicate the output of git.  Mention this explicitly, both
as a reminder that git will help with this process, and as signposting
to let git users know what they can safely skip.

SubmittingPatches already mentions referencing bugs fixed by a commit,
but doesn't mention citing relevant mailing list discussions.  Add a
note to that effect, along with a recommendation to use the
https://lkml.kernel.org/ redirector.

Josh Triplett 74a475acea SubmittingPatches: add style recommendation to use imperative descriptions
Most commit messages use this style, and the recommendation frequently
comes up in discussions (especially in response to patches that don't
use it), but that recommendation doesn't actually appear anywhere in
Documentation.  Add this style guideline to SubmittingPatches, using the
description from git's SubmittingPatches.

Dave Hansen 5509a5d27b drop_caches: add some documentation and info message
There is plenty of anecdotal evidence and a load of blog posts
suggesting that using "drop_caches" periodically keeps your system
running in "tip top shape".  Perhaps adding some kernel documentation
will increase the amount of accurate data on its use.

If we are not shrinking caches effectively, then we have real bugs.
Using drop_caches will simply mask the bugs and make them harder to
find, but certainly does not fix them, nor is it an appropriate
"workaround" to limit the size of the caches.  On the contrary, there
have been bug reports on issues that turned out to be misguided use of
cache dropping.

Dropping caches is a very drastic and disruptive operation that is good
for debugging and running tests, but if it creates bug reports from
production use, kernel developers should be aware of its use.

Add a bit more documentation about it, a syslog message to track down
abusers, and vmstat drop counters to help analyze problem reports.

Johannes Weiner 91b0abe36a mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cache
Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
evicting the real page.  As those pages are found from the LRU, an
iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently.  At this point,
reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.

Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
under the tree lock before doing the final truncate.  Reclaim will check
for this flag before installing shadow pages.

Li Zefan c89da70c73 kmemleak: allow freeing internal objects after kmemleak was disabled
Currently if kmemleak is disabled, the kmemleak objects can never be
freed, no matter if it's disabled by a user or due to fatal errors.

Those objects can be a big waste of memory.

    OBJS ACTIVE  USE OBJ SIZE  SLABS OBJ/SLAB CACHE SIZE NAME
  1200264 1197433  99%    0.30K  46164       26    369312K kmemleak_object

With this patch, after kmemleak was disabled you can reclaim memory
with:

	# echo clear > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak

Also inform users about this with a printk.

Linus Torvalds 68114e5eb8 Merge tag 'trace-3.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Most of the changes were largely clean ups, and some documentation.
  But there were a few features that were added:

  Uprobes now work with event triggers and multi buffers and have
  support under ftrace and perf.

  The big feature is that the function tracer can now be used within the
  multi buffer instances.  That is, you can now trace some functions in
  one buffer, others in another buffer, all functions in a third buffer
  and so on.  They are basically agnostic from each other.  This only
  works for the function tracer and not for the function graph trace,
  although you can have the function graph tracer running in the top
  level buffer (or any tracer for that matter) and have different
  function tracing going on in the sub buffers"
