      traversing the entire address less for each address removed, and
      flushing the entire netfilter conntrack table for every address as

  13) Hardware offload support for flower classifiers, from Amir Vadai.

  14) Add "Local Checksum Offload".  Basically, for a tunneled packet
      the checksum of the outer header is 'constant' (because with the
      checksum field filled into the inner protocol header, the payload

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.

5b25b13ab0 sys_membarrier(): system-wide memory barrier (generic, x86)
Here is an implementation of a new system call, sys_membarrier(), which
executes a memory barrier on all threads running on the system.  It is
implemented by calling synchronize_sched().  It can be used to
distribute the cost of user-space memory barriers asymmetrically by
transforming pairs of memory barriers into pairs consisting of
sys_membarrier() and a compiler barrier.  For synchronization primitives
that distinguish between read-side and write-side (e.g.  userspace RCU
[1], rwlocks), the read-side can be accelerated significantly by moving
the bulk of the memory barrier overhead to the write-side.

The existing applications of which I am aware that would be improved by
this system call are as follows:

* Through Userspace RCU library (http://urcu.so)
  - DNS server (Knot DNS) https://www.knot-dns.cz/
  - Network sniffer (http://netsniff-ng.org/)
  - Distributed object storage (https://sheepdog.github.io/sheepdog/)
  - User-space tracing (http://lttng.org)
  - Network storage system (https://www.gluster.org/)
  - Virtual routers (https://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/DPDK_RCU_0MQ.pdf)
  - Financial software (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/23/189)

Those projects use RCU in userspace to increase read-side speed and
scalability compared to locking.  Especially in the case of RCU used by
libraries, sys_membarrier can speed up the read-side by moving the bulk of
the memory barrier cost to synchronize_rcu().

* Direct users of sys_membarrier
  - core dotnet garbage collector (https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/issues/198)

Microsoft core dotnet GC developers are planning to use the mprotect()
side-effect of issuing memory barriers through IPIs as a way to implement
Windows FlushProcessWriteBuffers() on Linux.  They are referring to
sys_membarrier in their github thread, specifically stating that
sys_membarrier() is what they are looking for.

To explain the benefit of this scheme, let's introduce two example threads:

Thread A (non-frequent, e.g. executing liburcu synchronize_rcu())
Thread B (frequent, e.g. executing liburcu
rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock())

In a scheme where all smp_mb() in thread A are ordering memory accesses
with respect to smp_mb() present in Thread B, we can change each
smp_mb() within Thread A into calls to sys_membarrier() and each
smp_mb() within Thread B into compiler barriers "barrier()".

Before the change, we had, for each smp_mb() pairs:

Thread A                    Thread B
previous mem accesses       previous mem accesses
smp_mb()                    smp_mb()
following mem accesses      following mem accesses

After the change, these pairs become:

Thread A                    Thread B
prev mem accesses           prev mem accesses
sys_membarrier()            barrier()
follow mem accesses         follow mem accesses

As we can see, there are two possible scenarios: either Thread B memory
accesses do not happen concurrently with Thread A accesses (1), or they
do (2).

1) Non-concurrent Thread A vs Thread B accesses:

Thread A                    Thread B
prev mem accesses
sys_membarrier()
follow mem accesses
                            prev mem accesses
                            barrier()
                            follow mem accesses

In this case, thread B accesses will be weakly ordered. This is OK,
because at that point, thread A is not particularly interested in
ordering them with respect to its own accesses.

2) Concurrent Thread A vs Thread B accesses

Thread A                    Thread B
prev mem accesses           prev mem accesses
sys_membarrier()            barrier()
follow mem accesses         follow mem accesses

In this case, thread B accesses, which are ensured to be in program
order thanks to the compiler barrier, will be "upgraded" to full
smp_mb() by synchronize_sched().

* Benchmarks

On Intel Xeon E5405 (8 cores)
(one thread is calling sys_membarrier, the other 7 threads are busy
looping)

1000 non-expedited sys_membarrier calls in 33s =3D 33 milliseconds/call.

* User-space user of this system call: Userspace RCU library

Both the signal-based and the sys_membarrier userspace RCU schemes
permit us to remove the memory barrier from the userspace RCU
rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() primitives, thus significantly
accelerating them. These memory barriers are replaced by compiler
barriers on the read-side, and all matching memory barriers on the
write-side are turned into an invocation of a memory barrier on all
active threads in the process. By letting the kernel perform this
synchronization rather than dumbly sending a signal to every process
threads (as we currently do), we diminish the number of unnecessary wake
ups and only issue the memory barriers on active threads. Non-running
threads do not need to execute such barrier anyway, because these are
implied by the scheduler context switches.

Results in liburcu:

Operations in 10s, 6 readers, 2 writers:

memory barriers in reader:    1701557485 reads, 2202847 writes
signal-based scheme:          9830061167 reads,    6700 writes
sys_membarrier:               9952759104 reads,     425 writes
sys_membarrier (dyn. check):  7970328887 reads,     425 writes

The dynamic sys_membarrier availability check adds some overhead to
the read-side compared to the signal-based scheme, but besides that,
sys_membarrier slightly outperforms the signal-based scheme. However,
this non-expedited sys_membarrier implementation has a much slower grace
period than signal and memory barrier schemes.

Besides diminishing the number of wake-ups, one major advantage of the
membarrier system call over the signal-based scheme is that it does not
need to reserve a signal. This plays much more nicely with libraries,
and with processes injected into for tracing purposes, for which we
cannot expect that signals will be unused by the application.

An expedited version of this system call can be added later on to speed
up the grace period. Its implementation will likely depend on reading
the cpu_curr()->mm without holding each CPU's rq lock.

This patch adds the system call to x86 and to asm-generic.

MEMBARRIER(2)              Linux Programmer's Manual             MEMBARRIER(2)

NAME
       membarrier - issue memory barriers on a set of threads

SYNOPSIS
       #include <linux/membarrier.h>

       int membarrier(int cmd, int flags);

DESCRIPTION
       The cmd argument is one of the following:

       MEMBARRIER_CMD_QUERY
              Query  the  set  of  supported commands. It returns a bitmask of
              supported commands.

       MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED
              Execute a memory barrier on all threads running on  the  system.
              Upon  return from system call, the caller thread is ensured that
              all running threads have passed through a state where all memory
              accesses  to  user-space  addresses  match program order between
              entry to and return from the system  call  (non-running  threads
              are de facto in such a state). This covers threads from all pro=E2=80=90
              cesses running on the system.  This command returns 0.

       The flags argument needs to be 0. For future extensions.

       All memory accesses performed  in  program  order  from  each  targeted
       thread is guaranteed to be ordered with respect to sys_membarrier(). If
       we use the semantic "barrier()" to represent a compiler barrier forcing
       memory  accesses  to  be performed in program order across the barrier,
       and smp_mb() to represent explicit memory barriers forcing full  memory
       ordering  across  the barrier, we have the following ordering table for
       each pair of barrier(), sys_membarrier() and smp_mb():

       The pair ordering is detailed as (O: ordered, X: not ordered):

                              barrier()   smp_mb() sys_membarrier()
              barrier()          X           X            O
              smp_mb()           X           O            O
              sys_membarrier()   O           O            O

RETURN VALUE
       On success, these system calls return zero.  On error, -1 is  returned,
       and errno is set appropriately. For a given command, with flags
       argument set to 0, this system call is guaranteed to always return the
       same value until reboot.

ERRORS
       ENOSYS System call is not implemented.

       EINVAL Invalid arguments.

    Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of
    persistent memory address ranges is re-worked to drive
    PMEM-namespaces emitted by the libnvdimm-core.

    In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the ability to assert
    that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all the way
    through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent media.
    See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem().

  BLK:
    This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through
    "Block Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT.  The primary difference
    of this driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent
    memory is mapped into system address space at any given point in
    time.

    Per-NVDIMM windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access
    different portions of the media.  BLK-mode, by definition, does not
    support DAX.

  BTT:
    This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that
    converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector
    update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss).

    The sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do
    not know they have a atomic sector dependency.  At least today's
    disk's rarely ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly
    gets a CRC error on access.  NVDIMMs will always tear and always
    silently.  Until an application is audited to be robust in the
    presence of sector-tearing the usage of BTT is recommended.

62232e45f4 libnvdimm: control (ioctl) messages for nvdimm_bus and nvdimm devices
Most discovery/configuration of the nvdimm-subsystem is done via sysfs
attributes.  However, some nvdimm_bus instances, particularly the
ACPI.NFIT bus, define a small set of messages that can be passed to the
platform.  For convenience we derive the initial libnvdimm-ioctl command
formats directly from the NFIT DSM Interface Example formats.

    ND_CMD_SMART: media health and diagnostics
    ND_CMD_GET_CONFIG_SIZE: size of the label space
    ND_CMD_GET_CONFIG_DATA: read label space
    ND_CMD_SET_CONFIG_DATA: write label space
    ND_CMD_VENDOR: vendor-specific command passthrough
    ND_CMD_ARS_CAP: report address-range-scrubbing capabilities
    ND_CMD_ARS_START: initiate scrubbing
    ND_CMD_ARS_STATUS: report on scrubbing state
    ND_CMD_SMART_THRESHOLD: configure alarm thresholds for smart events

If a platform later defines different commands than this set it is
straightforward to extend support to those formats.

Most of the commands target a specific dimm.  However, the
address-range-scrubbing commands target the bus.  The 'commands'
attribute in sysfs of an nvdimm_bus, or nvdimm, enumerate the supported
commands for that object.

dc5698e80c Add virtio gpu driver.
This patch adds a kms driver for the virtio gpu.  The xorg modesetting
driver can handle the device just fine, the framebuffer for fbcon is
there too.

Qemu patches for the host side are under review currently.

The pci version of the device comes in two variants: with and without
vga compatibility.  The former has a extra memory bar for the vga
framebuffer, the later is a pure virtio device.  The only concern for
this driver is that in the virtio-vga case we have to kick out the
firmware framebuffer.

Initial revision has only 2d support, 3d (virgl) support requires
some more work on the qemu side and will be added later.

Jonathan writes:

First set of new drivers, cleanups and functionality for IIO in the 4.1 cycle.

New drivers
* CM3323 color sensor.
* MS5611 pressure and temperature sensor.

New functionality
* mup6050 - create mux clients for devices described via ACPI. The reasoning
     and approach taken in this patch are complex.  Basically there is no
     otherway of finding out what is there than by some esoteric look ups in
     the ACPI data.
* cm3232 - PM support
* itg3200 - suspend/resume support
* mcp320x - add more ADCs to the kconfig to reflect what the driver supports
     (this patch and the bindings got left behind when the support was added
      a while back).

Docs / utils
* ti-adc128s052 - DT bindings.
* mcp3422 - DT bindings.
* mcp320x - DT bindings
* ABI docs for event threshold scale attributes, in_magn_offset, proximity
  scan_element and thresh falling/rising values for accelerometers.  All
  elements long in use that have slipped by being explicitly documented.
* Tidy up the tools previously in drivers/staging/iio/Documentation and move
  them out to /tools/iio. Yet another move that should have happened long ago.
  This time Roberta Dobrescu did the leg work.  Thanks!

Core Cleanups
* Export userspace IIO headers.  We should have done the appropriate header
  splitting a long time ago. Thanks to Daniel for sorting this out.

* Refactor the registring of attributes for buffers to move all non-custom
  ones to a vector allowing easier additions to the current set in the future.

Driver Cleanups
* gpiod related cleanups.  Make use of the additional parameter to specify
  	initial direciton to avoid extra code.
* bmc150 - Various refactorings to reduce code repitition and prepare for
           hardware buffer support.  Some of these cleanups are good even
	   without the new functionality.
* kmx61 - direct use of index to an array avoiding a structure element which
          was always the index to an element in an array of that structure.
* vf610 - avoid incorrect type for return from wait_for_completion_timeout.
* gp2ap020a00f - use put_unaligned_le32 for slight code simplification.
* ade7754 - improve error handling including suppressing some build warnings.
* ade7759 - improve error handling including suppressing some build warnings.
* hmc5843 - Long line and indentation fixes. Also some constifying of various
      constant data.
* ade7854 - 80+ character line splitting.
* ad2s1210 - fix wrong printf format string.
* mxs-lradc - fix wrong printf format string.
* ade7954-i2c - code alignment fixes and other trivial but worthwhile bits.
* periodic rtc trigger - make the frequency type an unsigned int as it
  is always treated as such.
* jsa1212 - constify struct regmap_config as it is constant.
* ad7793 - typo in the MODULE_DESCRIPTION
* mma9551 - check gpiod_to_irq errors.  Note that this doesn't actually cause
    any trouble but is worth tidying up as obviously incorrect.
* mlx90614 - refactor the register symbols to make it clear which reads are to
    RAM not PROM.
