The problem is this: tracing_buffers_splice_read() calls
ring_buffer_wait() to wait for data in the ring buffers. The buffers
are not empty so ring_buffer_wait() returns immediately. But
tracing_buffers_splice_read() calls ring_buffer_read_page() with full=1,
meaning it only wants to read a full page. When the full page is not
available, tracing_buffers_splice_read() tries to wait again with
ring_buffer_wait(), which again returns immediately, and so on.
Fix this by adding a "full" argument to ring_buffer_wait() which will
make ring_buffer_wait() wait until the writer has left the reader's
page, i.e. until full-page reads will succeed.

When doing GRO processing for UDP tunnels, we never add
SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL to gso_type - only the type of the inner protocol
is added (such as SKB_GSO_TCPV4). The result is that if the packet is
later resegmented we will do GSO but not treat it as a tunnel. This
results in UDP fragmentation of the outer header instead of (i.e.) TCP
segmentation of the inner header as was originally on the wire.

o make it possible to provide firmware calibration data via a file (me)
And we have quite a lot of smaller fixes and clean up."
For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says:
"The big new thing here is netdetect which allows the
firmware to wake up the platform when a specific network
is detected. Along with that I have fixes for d3 operation.
The usual amount of rate scaling stuff - we now support STBC.
The other commit that stands out is Johannes's work on
devcoredump. He basically starts to use the standard

Tuning coalescing parameters on NIC can be really hard.
Servers can handle both bulk and RPC like traffic, with conflicting
goals : bulk flows want as big GRO packets as possible, RPC want minimal
latencies.
To reach big GRO packets on 10Gbe NIC, one can use :
ethtool -C eth0 rx-usecs 4 rx-frames 44
But this penalizes rpc sessions, with an increase of latencies, up to
50% in some cases, as NICs generally do not force an interrupt when
a packet with TCP Push flag is received.
Some NICs do not have an absolute timer, only a timer rearmed for every
incoming packet.
This patch uses a different strategy : Let GRO stack decides what do do,
based on traffic pattern.
Packets with Push flag wont be delayed.
Packets without Push flag might be held in GRO engine, if we keep
receiving data.
This new mechanism is off by default, and shall be enabled by setting
/sys/class/net/ethX/gro_flush_timeout to a value in nanosecond.
To fully enable this mechanism, drivers should use napi_complete_done()
instead of napi_complete().
Tested:
Ran 200 netperf TCP_STREAM from A to B (10Gbe mlx4 link, 8 RX queues)
Without this feature, we send back about 305,000 ACK per second.
GRO aggregation ratio is low (811/305 = 2.65 segments per GRO packet)
Setting a timer of 2000 nsec is enough to increase GRO packet sizes
and reduce number of ACK packets. (811/19.2 = 42)
Receiver performs less calls to upper stacks, less wakes up.
This also reduces cpu usage on the sender, as it receives less ACK
packets.
Note that reducing number of wakes up increases cpu efficiency, but can
decrease QPS, as applications wont have the chance to warmup cpu caches
doing a partial read of RPC requests/answers if they fit in one skb.

This patch implements the USB part of the Diolan USB-I2C/SPI/GPIO
Master Adapter DLN-2. Details about the device can be found here:
https://www.diolan.com/i2c/i2c_interface.html.
Information about the USB protocol can be found in the Programmer's
Reference Manual [1], see section 1.7.
Because the hardware has a single transmit endpoint and a single
receive endpoint the communication between the various DLN2 drivers
and the hardware will be muxed/demuxed by this driver.
Each DLN2 module will be identified by the handle field within the DLN2
message header. If a DLN2 module issues multiple commands in parallel
they will be identified by the echo counter field in the message header.
The DLN2 modules can use the dln2_transfer() function to issue a
command and wait for its response. They can also register a callback
that is going to be called when a specific event id is generated by
the device (e.g. GPIO interrupts). The device uses handle 0 for
sending events.

Currently driver writers need to use io{read,write}{8,16,32}_rep() when
accessing FIFO registers portably. This is bad for two reasons: it is
inconsistent with how other registers are accessed using the standard
{read,write}{b,w,l}() functions, which can lead to confusion. On some
architectures the io{read,write}*() functions also need to perform some
extra checks to determine whether an address is memory-mapped or refers
to I/O space. Drivers which can be expected to never use I/O can safely
use the {read,write}s{b,w,l,q}(), just like they use their non-string
variants and there's no need for these extra checks.
This patch implements generic versions of readsb(), readsw(), readsl(),
readsq(), writesb(), writesw(), writesl() and writesq(). Variants of
these string functions for I/O accesses (ins*() and outs*() as well as
ioread*_rep() and iowrite*_rep()) are now implemented in terms of the
new functions.
Going forward, {read,write}{,s}{b,w,l,q}() should be used consistently
by drivers for devices that will only ever be memory-mapped and hence
don't need to access I/O space, whereas io{read,write}{8,16,32}_rep()
should be used by drivers for devices that can be either memory-mapped
or I/O-mapped.

Overriding I/O accessors and helpers is currently very inconsistent.
This commit introduces a homogeneous way to override functions by
checking for the existence of a macro with the same of the function.
Architectures can provide their own implementations and communicate this
to the generic header by defining the appropriate macro. Doing this will
also help prevent the implementations from being subsequently
overridden.
While at it, also turn a lot of macros into static inline functions for
better type checking and to provide a canonical signature for overriding
architectures to copy. Also reorder functions by logical groups.

The dw_mmc driver had a bunch of code that ran whenever a card was
ejected and inserted. However, this code was old and crufty and
should be removed. Some evidence that it's really not needed:
1. Is is supposed to be legal to use 'cd-gpio' on dw_mmc instead of
using the built-in card detect mechanism. The 'cd-gpio' code
doesn't run any of the crufty old code but yet still works.
2. While looking at this, I realized that my old change (369ac86 mmc:
dw_mmc: don't queue up a card detect at slot startup) actually
castrated the old code a little bit already and nobody noticed.
Specifically "last_detect_state" was left as 0 at bootup. That
means that on the first card removal none of the crufty code ran.
3. I can run "while true; do dd if=/dev/mmcblk1 of=/dev/null; done"
while ejecting and inserting an SD Card and the world doesn't
explode.
If some of the crufty old code is actually needed, we should justify
it and also put it in some place where it will be run even with
"cd-gpio".
Note that in my case I'm using the "cd-gpio" mechanism but for various
reasons the hardware triggers a dw_mmc "card detect" at bootup. That
was actually causing a real bug. The card detect workqueue was
running while the system was trying to enumerate the card. The
"present != slot->last_detect_state" triggered and we were doing all
kinds of crazy stuff and messing up enumeration. The new mechanism of
just asking the core to check the card is much safer and then the
bogus interrupt doesn't hurt.

So here's my atomic series, finally all debugged&reviewed. Sean Paul has
done a full detailed pass over it all, and a lot of other people have
commented and provided feedback on some parts. Rob Clark also converted
msm over the w/e and seems happy. The only small thing is that Rob wants
to export the wait_for_vblank, which imo makes sense. Since there's other
stuff still to do I think we should apply Rob's patch (once it has grown
appropriate kerneldoc) later on top of this.
This is just the core<->driver interface plus a big pile of helpers. Short
recap of the main ideas:
- There are essentially three helper libraries in this patch set:
* Transitional helpers to use the new plane callbacks for legacy plane
updates and in the crtc helper's ->mode_set callback. These helpers are
only temporarily used to convert drivers to atomic, but they allow a
nice separation between changing the driver backend and switching to
the atomic commit logic.
* Legacy helpers to implement all the legacy driver entry points
(page_flip, set_config, plane vfuncs) on top of the new atomic driver
interface. These are completely driver agnostic. The reason for having
the legacy support as helpers is that drivers can switch step-by-step.
And they could e.g. even keep the legacy page_flip code around for some
old platforms where converting to full-blown atomic isn't worth it.
* Atomic helpers which implement the various new ->atomic_* driver
interfaces in terms of the revised crtc helper and new plane helper
hooks.
- The revised crtc helper implemenation essentially implements all the
lessons learned in the i915 modeset rework (when using the atomic helpers
only):
* Enable/disable sequence for a given config are always the same and
callbacks are always called in the same order. This contrast starkly
with the crtc helpers, where the sequence of operations is heavily
dependent on the previous config.
One corollary of this is that if the configuration of a crtc only
partially changes (e.g. a connector moves in a cloned config) the
helper code will still disable/enable the full display pipeline. This
is the only way to ensure that the enable/disable sequence is always
the same.
* It won't call disable or enable hooks more than once any more because
it lost track of state, thanks to the atomic state tracking. And if
drivers implement the ->reset hook properly (by either resetting the hw
or reading out the hw state into the atomic structures) this even
extends to the hardware state. So no more disable-me-harder kind of
nonsense.
* The only thing missing is the hw state readout/cross-check support, but
if drivers have hw state readout support in their ->reset handlers it's
simple to extend that to cross-check the hw state.
* The crtc->mode_set callback is gone and its replacement only sets crtc
timings and no longer updates the primary plane state. This way we can
finally implement primary planes properly.
- The new plane helpers should be suitable enough for pretty much
everything, and a perfect fit for hardware with GO bits. Even if they
don't fit the atomic helper library is rather flexible and exports all
the functions for the individual steps to drivers. So drivers can pick
what matches and implement their own magic for everything else.
- A big difference compared to all previous atomic series is that this one
doesn't implement async commit in a generic way. Imo driver requirements
for that are too diverse to create anything reasonable sane which would
actually work on a reasonable amount of different drivers. Also, we've
never had a helper library for page_flips even, so it's really hard to
know what might work and what's stupid without a bit of experience in the form
of a few driver implementations.
I think with the current flexibility for drivers to pick individual
stages and existing helpers like drm_flip_queue it's rather easy though
to implement proper async commit.
- There's a few other differences of minor importance to earlier atomic
series:
* Common/generic properties are parsed in the callers/core and not in
drivers, and passed to drivers by directly setting the right members in
atomic state structures. That greatly simplifies all the transitional
and legacy helpers an removes a lot of boilerplate code.
* There's no crazy trylock mode used for the async commit since these
helpers don't do async commit. A simple ordered flip queue of atomic
state updates should be sufficient for preventing concurrent hw access
anyway, as long as synchronous updates stall correctly with e.g.
flush_work_queue or similar function. Abusing locks to enforce ordering
isn't a good idea imo anyway.
* These helpers reuse the existing ->mode_fixup hooks in the atomic_check
callback. Which means that drivers need to adapat and move a lot less code
into their atomic_check callbacks.
Now this isn't everything needed in the drm core and helpers for full
atomic support. But it's enough to start with converting drivers, and
except for actually testing multiplane and multicrtc updates also enough to
implement full atomic updates. Still missing are:
- Per-plane locking. Since these helpers here encapsulate the locking
completely this should be fairly easy to implement.
- fbdev support for atomic_check/commit, so that multi-pipe finally works
sanely in fbcon.
- Adding and decoding shared/core properties. That just needs to be rebased
from Rob's latest patch series, with minor adjustments so that the
decoding happens in the core instead of in drivers.
- Actually adding the atomic ioctl. Again just rebasing Rob's latest patch
should be all that's needed.
- Resolving how to deal with DPMS in atomic. Atomic is a good excuse to fix up
the crazy semantics dpms currently has. I'm floating an RFC about this topic
already.
- Finally I couldn't test connector/encoder stealing properly since my test
vehicle here doesn't allow a connector on different crtcs. So drivers
which support this might see some surprises in that area. There is no semantic
change though in how encoder stealing and assignment works (or at least no
intended one), so I think the risk is minimal.
As just mentioned I've done a fake conversion of an existing driver using
crtc helpers to debug the helper code and validate the smooth transition
approach. And that smooth transition was the really big motivation for
this. It seems to actually work and consists of 3 phases:
Phase 1: Rework driver backend for crtc/plane helpers
The requirement here is that universal plane support is already implement. If
universal plane support isn't implement yet it might be better though to just do
it as part of this phase, directly using the new plane helpers. There are two
big things to do:
- Split up the existing ->update/disable_plane hooks into check/commit
hooks and extract the crtc-wide prep/flush parts (like setting/clearing
GO bits).
- The other big change is to split the crtc->mode_set hook into the plane
update (done using the plane helpers) and the crtc setup in a new
->mode_set_nofb hook.
When phase 1 is complete the driver implements all the new callbacks which
push the software state into hardware, but still using all the legacy entry
points and crtc helpers. The transitional helpers serve as impendance
mismatch here.
Phase 2: Rework state handling
This consists of rolling out the state handling helpers for planes, crtcs
and connectors and reviewing all ->mode_fixup and similar hooks to make
sure they don't depend upon implicit global state which might change in the
atomic world. Any such code must be moved into ->atomic_check functions which
just rely on the free-standing atomic state update structures.
This phase also adds a few small pieces of fixup code to make sure the
atomic state doesn't get out of sync in the legacy driver callbacks.
Phase 3: Roll out atomic support
Now it's just about replacing vfuncs with the ones provided by the helper
and filling out the small missing pieces (like atomic_check logic or async
commit support needed for page_flips). Due to the prep work in phase 1 no
changes to the driver backend functions should be required, and because of
the prep work in phase 2 atomic implementations can be rolled out
step-by-step. So if async commit ins't implemented yet page_flip can be
implemented with the legacy functions without wreaking havoc in the other
operations.

Pull ARM SoC fixes from Olof Johansson:
"Another quiet week:
- a fix to silence edma probe error on non-supported platforms from
Arnd
- a fix to enable the PL clock for Parallella, to make mainline
usable with the SDK.
- a somewhat verbose fix for the PLL clock tree on VF610
- enabling of SD/MMC on one of the VF610-based boards (for testing)
- a fix for i.MX where CONFIG_SPI used to be implicitly enabled and
now needs to be added to the defconfig instead
- another maintainer added for bcm2835: Lee Jones"

This patch adds the new userspace header for nl802154. We don't place
this header in include/uapi now. This header could be modified in the
next time.
