RMI4 bus, 2D sensor and button handlers, and SPI and I2C interface
drivers.

2b6a321da9 Input: synaptics-rmi4 - add support for Synaptics RMI4 devices
Synaptics uses the Register Mapped Interface (RMI) protocol as a
communications interface for their devices. This driver adds the core
functionality needed to interface with RMI4 devices.

RMI devices can be connected to the host via several transport protocols
and can supports a wide variety of functionality defined by RMI functions.
Support for transport protocols and RMI functions are implemented in
individual drivers. The RMI4 core driver uses a bus architecture to
facilitate the various combinations of transport and function drivers
needed by a particular device.

b2cd27448b [media] media-device: map new functions into old types for legacy API
The legacy media controller userspace API exposes entity types that
carry both type and function information. The new API replaces the type
with a function. It preserves backward compatibility by defining legacy
functions for the existing types and using them in drivers.

This works fine, as long as newer entity functions won't be added.

Unfortunately, some tools, like media-ctl with --print-dot argument
rely on the now legacy MEDIA_ENT_T_V4L2_SUBDEV and MEDIA_ENT_T_DEVNODE
numeric ranges to identify what entities will be shown.

Also, if the entity doesn't match those ranges, it will ignore the
major/minor information on devnodes, and won't be getting the devnode
name via udev or sysfs.

As we're now adding devices outside the old range, the legacy ioctl
needs to map the new entity functions into a type at the old range,
or otherwise we'll have a regression.

Detected on all released media-ctl versions (e. g. versions <= 1.10).

Fix this by deriving the type from the function to emulate the legacy
API if the function isn't in the legacy functions range.

fbe093ac9f [media] media: Sanitise the reserved fields of the G_TOPOLOGY IOCTL arguments
The argument structs are used in arrays for G_TOPOLOGY IOCTL. The
arguments themselves do not need to be aligned to a power of two, but
aligning them up to the largest basic type alignment (u64) on common ABIs
is a good thing to do.

The patch changes the size of the reserved fields to 5 or 6 u32's and
aligns the size of the struct to 8 bytes so we do no longer depend on the
compiler to perform the alignment.

While at it, add __attribute__ ((packed)) to these structs as well.

2da897e51d bpf: fix csum setting for bpf_set_tunnel_key
The fix in 35e2d1152b ("tunnels: Allow IPv6 UDP checksums to be correctly
controlled.") changed behavior for bpf_set_tunnel_key() when in use with
IPv6 and thus uncovered a bug that TUNNEL_CSUM needed to be set but wasn't.
As a result, the stack dropped ingress vxlan IPv6 packets, that have been
sent via eBPF through collect meta data mode due to checksum now being zero.

Since after LCO, we enable IPv4 checksum by default, so make that analogous
and only provide a flag BPF_F_ZERO_CSUM_TX for the user to turn it off in
IPv4 case.

Fixes: 35e2d1152b ("tunnels: Allow IPv6 UDP checksums to be correctly controlled.")

4577b06655 nfit: update address range scrub commands to the acpi 6.1 format
The original format of these commands from the "NVDIMM DSM Interface
Example" [1] are superseded by the ACPI 6.1 definition of the "NVDIMM Root
Device _DSMs" [2].

[1]: http://pmem.io/documents/NVDIMM_DSM_Interface_Example.pdf
[2]: http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI_6_1.pdf
     "9.20.7 NVDIMM Root Device _DSMs"

Changes include:
1/ New 'restart' fields in ars_status, unfortunately these are
   implemented in the middle of the existing definition so this change
   is not backwards compatible.  The expectation is that shipping
   platforms will only ever support the ACPI 6.1 definition.

2/ New status values for ars_start ('busy') and ars_status ('overflow').

  It contains a revert for a suspend regression in 4.4 and a fix for a

  ioctl up to the VFS level so that other filesystems can also use it
  for modifying project quota IDs

  Summary:

   - promotion of XFS_IOC_FS[GS]ETXATTR ioctl to the vfs level so that
     it can be shared with other filesystems.  The ext4 project quota
     functionality is the first target for this.  The commits in this

df0108c5da epoll: add EPOLLEXCLUSIVE flag
Currently, epoll file descriptors or epfds (the fd returned from
epoll_create[1]()) that are added to a shared wakeup source are always
added in a non-exclusive manner.  This means that when we have multiple
epfds attached to a shared fd source they are all woken up.  This creates
thundering herd type behavior.

Introduce a new 'EPOLLEXCLUSIVE' flag that can be passed as part of the
'event' argument during an epoll_ctl() EPOLL_CTL_ADD operation.  This new
flag allows for exclusive wakeups when there are multiple epfds attached
to a shared fd event source.

The implementation walks the list of exclusive waiters, and queues an
event to each epfd, until it finds the first waiter that has threads
blocked on it via epoll_wait().  The idea is to search for threads which
are idle and ready to process the wakeup events.  Thus, we queue an event
to at least 1 epfd, but may still potentially queue an event to all epfds
that are attached to the shared fd source.

Performance testing was done by Madars Vitolins using a modified version
of Enduro/X.  The use of the 'EPOLLEXCLUSIVE' flag reduce the length of
this particular workload from 860s down to 24s.

Sample epoll_clt text:

EPOLLEXCLUSIVE

  Sets an exclusive wakeup mode for the epfd file descriptor that is
  being attached to the target file descriptor, fd.  Thus, when an event
  occurs and multiple epfd file descriptors are attached to the same
  target file using EPOLLEXCLUSIVE, one or more epfds will receive an
  event with epoll_wait(2).  The default in this scenario (when
  EPOLLEXCLUSIVE is not set) is for all epfds to receive an event.
  EPOLLEXCLUSIVE may only be specified with the op EPOLL_CTL_ADD.

Linus Torvalds
5807fcaa9b Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security
Pull security subsystem updates from James Morris:

 - EVM gains support for loading an x509 cert from the kernel
   (EVM_LOAD_X509), into the EVM trusted kernel keyring.

 - Smack implements 'file receive' process-based permission checking for
   sockets, rather than just depending on inode checks.

 - Misc enhancments for TPM & TPM2.

 - Cleanups and bugfixes for SELinux, Keys, and IMA.
