  anything.

  This has been in linux-next for a month or so"

58f0f9f75c uapi: add missing install of sync_file.h
As part of the sync framework destaging, the sync_file.h header
was moved, but an entry was not added on Kbuild to install it.
This patch resolves this omission so that "make headers_install"

54f9c4d077 ipmi: add an Aspeed BT IPMI BMC driver
This patch adds a simple device driver to expose the iBT interface on
Aspeed SOCs (AST2400 and AST2500) as a character device. Such SOCs are
commonly used as BMCs (BaseBoard Management Controllers) and this
driver implements the BMC side of the BT interface.

The BT (Block Transfer) interface is used to perform in-band IPMI
communication between a host and its BMC. Entire messages are buffered
before sending a notification to the other end, host or BMC, that
there is data to be read. Usually, the host emits requests and the BMC
responses but the specification provides a mean for the BMC to send
SMS Attention (BMC-to-Host attention or System Management Software
attention) messages.

For this purpose, the driver introduces a specific ioctl on the
device: 'BT_BMC_IOCTL_SMS_ATN' that can be used by the system running
on the BMC to signal the host of such an event.

The device name defaults to '/dev/ipmi-bt-host'

0515e5999a bpf: introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT program type
Introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT programs that can be attached to
HW and SW perf events (PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE
correspondingly in uapi/linux/perf_event.h)

The program visible context meta structure is
struct bpf_perf_event_data {
    struct pt_regs regs;
     __u64 sample_period;
};
which is accessible directly from the program:
int bpf_prog(struct bpf_perf_event_data *ctx)
{
  ... ctx->sample_period ...
  ... ctx->regs.ip ...
}

The bpf verifier rewrites the accesses into kernel internal
struct bpf_perf_event_data_kern which allows changing
struct perf_sample_data without affecting bpf programs.
New fields can be added to the end of struct bpf_perf_event_data
in the future.

b6e8d4aa11 rapidio: add RapidIO channelized messaging driver
Add channelized messaging driver to support native RapidIO messaging
exchange between multiple senders/recipients on devices that use kernel
RapidIO subsystem services.

This device driver is the result of collaboration within the RapidIO.org
Software Task Group (STG) between Texas Instruments, Prodrive
Technologies, Nokia Networks, BAE and IDT.  Additional input was
received from other members of RapidIO.org.

The objective was to create a character mode driver interface which
exposes messaging capabilities of RapidIO endpoint devices (mports)
directly to applications, in a manner that allows the numerous and
varied RapidIO implementations to interoperate.

This char mode device driver allows user-space applications to setup
messaging communication channels using single shared RapidIO messaging
mailbox.

By default this driver uses RapidIO MBOX_1 (MBOX_0 is reserved for use by
RIONET Ethernet emulation driver).

6f99612e25 tpm: Proxy driver for supporting multiple emulated TPMs
This patch implements a proxy driver for supporting multiple emulated TPMs
in a system.

The driver implements a device /dev/vtpmx that is used to created
a client device pair /dev/tpmX (e.g., /dev/tpm10) and a server side that
is accessed using a file descriptor returned by an ioctl.
The device /dev/tpmX is the usual TPM device created by the core TPM
driver. Applications or kernel subsystems can send TPM commands to it
and the corresponding server-side file descriptor receives these
commands and delivers them to an emulated TPM.

The driver retrievs the TPM 1.2 durations and timeouts. Since this requires
the startup of the TPM, we send a startup for TPM 1.2 as well as TPM 2.

459aa660eb gtp: add initial driver for datapath of GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP-U)
This is an initial implementation of a netdev driver for GTP datapath
(GTP-U) v0 and v1, according to the GSM TS 09.60 and 3GPP TS 29.060
standards. This tunneling protocol is used to prevent subscribers from
accessing mobile carrier core network infrastructure.

This implementation requires a GGSN userspace daemon that implements the
signaling protocol (GTP-C), such as OpenGGSN [1]. This userspace daemon
updates the PDP context database that represents active subscriber
sessions through a genetlink interface.

For more context on this tunneling protocol, you can check the slides
that were presented during the NetDev 1.1 [2].

Only IPv4 is supported at this time.

3c702e9987 gpio: add a userspace chardev ABI for GPIOs
A new chardev that is to be used for userspace GPIO access is
added in this patch. It is intended to gradually replace the
horribly broken sysfs ABI.

Using a chardev has many upsides:

- All operations are per-gpiochip, which is the actual
  device underlying the GPIOs, making us tie in to the
  kernel device model properly.

- Hotpluggable GPIO controllers can come and go, as this
  kind of problem has been know to userspace for character
  devices since ages, and if a gpiochip handle is held in
  userspace we know we will break something, whereas the
  sysfs is stateless.

- The one-value-per-file rule of sysfs is really hard to
  maintain when you want to twist more than one knob at a time,
  for example have in-kernel APIs to switch several GPIO
  lines at the same time, and this will be possible to do
  with a single ioctl() from userspace, saving a lot of
  context switching.

We also need to add a new bus type for GPIO. This is
necessary for example for userspace coldplug, where sysfs is
traversed to find the boot-time device nodes and create the
character devices in /dev.

This new chardev ABI is *non* *optional* and can be counted
on to be present in the future, emphasizing the preference
of this ABI.

The ABI only implements one single ioctl() to get the name
and number of GPIO lines of a chip. Even this is debatable:
see it as a minimal example for review. This ABI shall be
ruthlessly reviewed and etched in stone.

The old /sys/class/gpio is still optional to compile in,
but will be deprecated.

Unique device IDs are created using IDR, which is overkill
and insanely scalable, but also well tested.

3e1e21c7bf Merge branch 'for-4.5/nvme' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull NVMe updates from Jens Axboe:
 "Last branch for this series is the nvme changes.  It's in a separate
  branch to avoid splitting too much between core and NVMe changes,
  since NVMe is still helping drive some blk-mq changes.  That said, not
  a huge amount of core changes in here.  The grunt of the work is the
  continued split of the code"

a9cf8284b4 uapi: update install list after nvme.h rename
Commit 9d99a8dda1 ("nvme: move hardware structures out of the uapi
version of nvme.h") renamed nvme.h to nvme_ioctl.h, but the uapi list
still refers to nvme.h.  People trying to install the headers hit a
failure as the header no longer exists.

Pull input updates from Dmitry Torokhov:
 "Items of note:

   - evdev users can now limit or mask the kind of events they will
     receive.  This will allow applications such as power manager or
     network manager to only be woken when user presses special keys
     such as KEY_POWER or KEY_WIFI and not be bothered with ordinary
     key presses coming from keyboard

   - support for FocalTech FT6236 touchscreen controller

   - support for ROHM BU21023/24 touchscreen controller

   - edt-ft5x06 touchscreen driver got a face lift and can now be used
     with FT5506

   - support for Google Fiber TV Box remote controls

   - improvements in xpad driver (with more to come)

   - several parport-based drivers have been switched to the new device
     model

   - other miscellaneous driver improvements"

f902dd8934 Input: add input-event-codes header file
Add input-event-codes header file and move all type and axis defines
there.

The purpose of this new header file is to have a single canonical source
for event-codes which can be used outside of C-code too. One example of
such usage is the use of event-codes in devicetree source files.
