aec742e8e1 get_maintainer: Don't check if STDIN exists in a VCS repository
If get_maintainer is not given any filename arguments on the command line,
the standard input is read for a patch.

But checking if a VCS has a file named &STDIN is not a good idea and fails.

Verify the nominal input file is not &STDIN before checking the VCS.

ed58c0e9ee gcc-plugins: abort builds cleanly when not supported
When the compiler doesn't support gcc plugins (either due to missing
headers or too old a version), report the problem and abort the build
instead of emitting a warning and letting the build founder with arcane
compiler errors.

d26e941492 kbuild: no gcc-plugins during cc-option tests
The gcc-plugins arguments should not be included when performing
cc-option tests.

Steps to reproduce:
1) make mrproper
2) make defconfig
3) enable GCC_PLUGINS, GCC_PLUGIN_CYC_COMPLEXITY
4) enable FUNCTION_TRACER (it will select other options as well)
5) make && make modules

a4691deabf kcov: allow more fine-grained coverage instrumentation
For more targeted fuzzing, it's better to disable kernel-wide
instrumentation and instead enable it on a per-subsystem basis.  This
follows the pattern of UBSAN and allows you to compile in the kcov
driver without instrumenting the whole kernel.

To instrument a part of the kernel, you can use either

    # for a single file in the current directory
    KCOV_INSTRUMENT_filename.o := y

or

    # for all the files in the current directory (excluding subdirectories)
    KCOV_INSTRUMENT := y

or

    # (same as above)
    ccflags-y += $(CFLAGS_KCOV)

or

    # for all the files in the current directory (including subdirectories)
    subdir-ccflags-y += $(CFLAGS_KCOV)

ed43c4e58a checkpatch: check signoff when reading stdin
Signoff was not checked if the filename is '-', indicating reading the
patch from stdin.  Commands such as the below would not warn about a
missing signoff, because the patch filename is '-'.  This change allows
checkpatch to warn about a missing signoff, even if the input filename
is '-', but only if the patch has a commit message.

  git show --pretty=email | scripts/checkpatch.pl -

A more common use of checkpatch with stdin is for piping git diff
through checkpatch.  The diff output would not contain a commit message,
and therefore it would not contain a signoff line.  For this common use
case, a warning should not be printed about the missing signoff.  With
this change we will only warn about a missing signoff if the input
contains a commit message.

  git diff | scripts/checkpatch.pl -

Before this patch, a workaround for the first command was to refer to
stdin by a name other than '-'.  The workaround is not an elegant
solution, because elsewhere checkpatch uses the fact that filename
equals '-', such as in setting '$vname' to 'Your patch' for stdin.  The
command below would report "/dev/stdin has style problems" instead of
"Your patch has style problems."

  git show --pretty=email | scripts/checkpatch.pl /dev/stdin

b2e1c26f0b ftrace/recordmcount: Work around for addition of metag magic but not relocations
glibc recently did a sync up (94e73c95d9b5 "elf.h: Sync with the gabi
webpage") that added a #define for EM_METAG but did not add relocations

This triggers build errors:

scripts/recordmcount.c: In function 'do_file':
scripts/recordmcount.c:466:28: error: 'R_METAG_ADDR32' undeclared (first use in this function)
  case EM_METAG:  reltype = R_METAG_ADDR32;

scripts/recordmcount.c:468:20: error: 'R_METAG_NONE' undeclared (first use in this function)
     rel_type_nop = R_METAG_NONE;
                    ^~~~~~~~~~~~

Work around this change with some more #ifdefery for the relocations.

f0c98ebc57 Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:

 - Replace pcommit with ADR / directed-flushing.

   The pcommit instruction, which has not shipped on any product, is
   deprecated.  Instead, the requirement is that platforms implement
   either ADR, or provide one or more flush addresses per nvdimm.

   ADR (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) flushes data in posted write buffers
   to the memory controller on a power-fail event.

   Flush addresses are defined in ACPI 6.x as an NVDIMM Firmware
   Interface Table (NFIT) sub-structure: "Flush Hint Address Structure".
   A flush hint is an mmio address that when written and fenced assures
   that all previous posted writes targeting a given dimm have been
   flushed to media.

 - On-demand ARS (address range scrub).

   Linux uses the results of the ACPI ARS commands to track bad blocks
   in pmem devices.  When latent errors are detected we re-scrub the
   media to refresh the bad block list, userspace can also request a
   re-scrub at any time.

 - Support for the Microsoft DSM (device specific method) command
   format.

 - Support for EDK2/OVMF virtual disk device memory ranges.

 - Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem.

6e8d666e92 Disable "maybe-uninitialized" warning globally
Several build configurations had already disabled this warning because
it generates a lot of false positives.  But some had not, and it was
still enabled for "allmodconfig" builds, for example.

Looking at the warnings produced, every single one I looked at was a
false positive, and the warnings are frequent enough (and big enough)
that they can easily hide real problems that you don't notice in the
noise generated by -Wmaybe-uninitialized.

The warning is good in theory, but this is a classic case of a warning
that causes more problems than the warning can solve.

If gcc gets better at avoiding false positives, we may be able to
re-enable this warning.  But as is, we're better off without it, and I
want to be able to see the *real* warnings.
