Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These update the cpuidle poll state definition to reduce excessive
  energy usage related to it, add new CPU ID to the RAPL power capping
  driver, update the ACPI system suspend code to handle some special
  cases better, extend the PM core's device links code slightly, add new
  sysfs attribute for better suspend-to-idle diagnostics and easier
  hibernation handling, update power management tools and clean up
  cpufreq quite a bit.

  Specifics:

   - Modify the cpuidle poll state implementation to prevent CPUs from
     staying in the loop in there for excessive times (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Add Intel Cannon Lake chips support to the RAPL power capping
     driver (Joe Konno).

   - Add reference counting to the device links handling code in the PM
     core (Lukas Wunner).

   - Avoid reconfiguring GPEs on suspend-to-idle in the ACPI system
     suspend code (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Allow devices to be put into deeper low-power states via ACPI if
     both _SxD and _SxW are missing (Daniel Drake).

   - Reorganize the core ACPI suspend-to-idle wakeup code to avoid a
     keyboard wakeup issue on Asus UX331UA (Chris Chiu).

   - Prevent the PCMCIA library code from aborting suspend-to-idle due
     to noirq suspend failures resulting from incorrect assumptions
     (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Add coupled cpuidle supprt to the Exynos3250 platform (Marek
     Szyprowski).

   - Add new sysfs file to make it easier to specify the image storage
     location during hibernation (Mario Limonciello).

   - Add sysfs files for collecting suspend-to-idle usage and time
     statistics for CPU idle states (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Update the pm-graph utilities (Todd Brandt).

   - Reduce the kernel log noise related to reporting Low-power Idle
     constraings by the ACPI system suspend code (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Make it easier to distinguish dedicated wakeup IRQs in the
     /proc/interrupts output (Tony Lindgren).

   - Add the frequency table validation in cpufreq to the core and drop
     it from a number of cpufreq drivers (Viresh Kumar).

   - Drop "cooling-{min|max}-level" for CPU nodes from a couple of DT
     bindings (Viresh Kumar).

   - Clean up the CPU online error code path in the cpufreq core (Viresh
     Kumar).

   - Fix assorted issues in the SCPI, CPPC, mediatek and tegra186
     cpufreq drivers (Arnd Bergmann, Chunyu Hu, George Cherian, Viresh
     Kumar).

   - Drop memory allocation error messages from a few places in cpufreq
     and cpuildle drivers (Markus Elfring)"

642e7fd233 Merge branch 'syscalls-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brodo/linux
Pull removal of in-kernel calls to syscalls from Dominik Brodowski:
 "System calls are interaction points between userspace and the kernel.
  Therefore, system call functions such as sys_xyzzy() or
  compat_sys_xyzzy() should only be called from userspace via the
  syscall table, but not from elsewhere in the kernel.

  At least on 64-bit x86, it will likely be a hard requirement from
  v4.17 onwards to not call system call functions in the kernel: It is
  better to use use a different calling convention for system calls
  there, where struct pt_regs is decoded on-the-fly in a syscall wrapper
  which then hands processing over to the actual syscall function. This
  means that only those parameters which are actually needed for a
  specific syscall are passed on during syscall entry, instead of
  filling in six CPU registers with random user space content all the
  time (which may cause serious trouble down the call chain). Those
  x86-specific patches will be pushed through the x86 tree in the near
  future.

  Moreover, rules on how data may be accessed may differ between kernel
  data and user data. This is another reason why calling sys_xyzzy() is
  generally a bad idea, and -- at most -- acceptable in arch-specific
  code.

  This patchset removes all in-kernel calls to syscall functions in the
  kernel with the exception of arch/. On top of this, it cleans up the
  three places where many syscalls are referenced or prototyped, namely
  kernel/sys_ni.c, include/linux/syscalls.h and include/linux/compat.h"

Pul removal of obsolete architecture ports from Arnd Bergmann:
 "This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv,
  m32r, metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device
  drivers.

  I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to
  ensure that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely
  unused in mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the
  respective ports to start with and getting them included in upstream,
  but also saw no point in keeping the port alive without any users.

  In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
  different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company in
  charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
  ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
  CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It
  seems that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not
  used the custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In
  contrast, CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively
  maintained kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.

  [ See the new nds32 port merged in the previous commit for the next
    generation of "one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU
    microarchitecture and a software ecosystem"   - Linus ]

  The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
  https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
  marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I
  made sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile,
  mn10300, and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old
  kernels, but those products will never be updated to newer kernel
  releases.

  After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
  gcc support:

   - unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
     maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
     in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.

   - openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing
     their support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first
     place. They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some
     degree, but complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1.
     Csky posted their first kernel patch set last week, their situation
     will be similar

  [ Palmer Dabbelt points out that RISC-V support is in mainline gcc
    since gcc-7, although gcc-7.3.0 is the recommended minimum  - Linus ]"

This really says it all:

do_kexec_load() can be called directly by compat_sys_kexec() as long as
the same parameters checks are completed which are currently handled
(also) by sys_kexec(). Therefore, move those to kexec_load_check(),
call that newly introduced helper function from both sys_kexec() and
compat_sys_kexec(), and duplicate the remaining code from sys_kexec()
in compat_sys_kexec().

This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see

d53238cd51 kernel: open-code sys_rt_sigpending() in sys_sigpending()
A similar but not fully equivalent code path is already open-coded
three times (in sys_rt_sigpending and in the two compat stubs), so
do it a fourth time here.

This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.

d300b61081 kernel: use kernel_wait4() instead of sys_wait4()
All call sites of sys_wait4() set *rusage to NULL. Therefore, there is
no need for the copy_to_user() handling of *rusage, and we can use
kernel_wait4() directly.

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main kernel side changes were:

   - Modernize the kprobe and uprobe creation/destruction tooling ABIs:

     The existing text based APIs (kprobe_events and uprobe_events in
     tracefs), are naive, limited ABIs in that they require user-space
     to clean up after themselves, which is both difficult and fragile
     if the tool is buggy or exits unexpectedly. In other words they are
     not really suited for modern, robust tooling.

     So introduce a modern, file descriptor based ABI that does not have
     these limitations: introduce the 'perf_kprobe' and 'perf_uprobe'
     PMUs and extend the perf_event_open() syscall to create events with
     a kprobe/uprobe attached to them. These [k,u]probe are associated
     with this file descriptor, so they are not available in tracefs.

     (Song Liu)

   - Intel Cannon Lake CPU support (Harry Pan)

   - Intel PT cleanups (Alexander Shishkin)

   - Improve the performance of pinned/flexible event groups by using RB
     trees (Alexey Budankov)

   - Add PERF_EVENT_IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES which allows the modification
     of hardware breakpoints, which new ABI variant massively speeds up
     existing tooling that uses hardware breakpoints to instrument (and
     debug) memory usage.

     (Milind Chabbi, Jiri Olsa)

   - Various Intel PEBS handling fixes and improvements, and other Intel
     PMU improvements (Kan Liang)

   - Various perf core improvements and optimizations (Peter Zijlstra)

   - ... misc cleanups, fixes and updates.

  There's over 200 tooling commits, here's an (imperfect) list of
  highlights:

   - 'perf annotate' improvements:

      * Recognize and handle jumps to other functions as calls, which
        improves the navigation along jumps and back. (Arnaldo Carvalho
        de Melo)

      * Add the 'P' hotkey in TUI annotation to dump annotation output
        into a file, to ease e-mail reporting of annotation details.
        (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

      * Add an IPC/cycles column to the TUI (Jin Yao)

      * Improve s390 assembly annotation (Thomas Richter)

      * Refactor the output formatting logic to better separate it into
        interactive and non-interactive features and add the --stdio2
        output variant to demonstrate this. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - 'perf script' improvements:

      * Add Python 3 support (Jaroslav Škarvada)

      * Add --show-round-event (Jiri Olsa)

   - 'perf c2c' improvements:

      * Add NUMA analysis support (Jiri Olsa)

   - 'perf trace' improvements:

      * Improve PowerPC support (Ravi Bangoria)

   - 'perf inject' improvements:

      * Integrate ARM CoreSight traces (Robert Walker)

   - 'perf stat' improvements:

      * Add the --interval-count option (yuzhoujian)

      * Add the --timeout option (yuzhoujian)

   - 'perf sched' improvements (Changbin Du)

   - Vendor events improvements :

      * Add IBM s390 vendor events (Thomas Richter)

      * Add and improve arm64 vendor events (John Garry, Ganapatrao
        Kulkarni)

      * Update POWER9 vendor events (Sukadev Bhattiprolu)

   - Intel PT tooling improvements (Adrian Hunter)

   - PMU handling improvements (Agustin Vega-Frias)

   - Record machine topology in perf.data (Jiri Olsa)

   - Various overwrite related cleanups (Kan Liang)

   - Add arm64 dwarf post unwind support (Kim Phillips, Jean Pihet)

   - ... and lots of other changes, cleanups and fixes, see the shortlog
     and Git history for details"

701f3b3149 Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in the locking subsystem in this cycle were:

   - Add the Linux Kernel Memory Consistency Model (LKMM) subsystem,
     which is an an array of tools in tools/memory-model/ that formally
     describe the Linux memory coherency model (a.k.a.
     Documentation/memory-barriers.txt), and also produce 'litmus tests'
     in form of kernel code which can be directly executed and tested.

     Here's a high level background article about an earlier version of
     this work on LWN.net:

        https://lwn.net/Articles/718628/

     The design principles:

      "There is reason to believe that Documentation/memory-barriers.txt
       could use some help, and a major purpose of this patch is to
       provide that help in the form of a design-time tool that can
       produce all valid executions of a small fragment of concurrent
       Linux-kernel code, which is called a "litmus test". This tool's
       functionality is roughly similar to a full state-space search.
       Please note that this is a design-time tool, not useful for
       regression testing. However, we hope that the underlying
       Linux-kernel memory model will be incorporated into other tools
       capable of analyzing large bodies of code for regression-testing
       purposes."

     [...]

      "A second tool is klitmus7, which converts litmus tests to
       loadable kernel modules for direct testing. As with herd7, the
       klitmus7 code is freely available from

         http://diy.inria.fr/sources/index.html

       (and via "git" at https://github.com/herd/herdtools7)"

     [...]

     Credits go to:

      "This patch was the result of a most excellent collaboration
       founded by Jade Alglave and also including Alan Stern, Andrea
       Parri, and Luc Maranget."

     The LKMM project already found several bugs in Linux locking
     primitives and improved the understanding and the documentation of
     the Linux memory model all around.

   - Add KASAN instrumentation to atomic APIs (Dmitry Vyukov)

   - Add RWSEM API debugging and reorganize the lock debugging Kconfig
