f26db9649a There was some breakage with the changes for jump labels in the 4.11 merge
window. Namely powerpc broke as jump labels uses the two LSB bits as flags
 in initialization. A check was added to make sure that all jump label
 entries were 4 bytes aligned, but powerpc didn't work that way for modules.
 Adding an alignment in the module linker script appeared to be the best
 solution.
 
 Jump labels also added an anonymous union to access those LSB bits as a
 normal long. But because this structure had static initialization, it broke
 older compilers that could not statically initialize anonymous unions
 without brackets.
 
 The command line parameter for setting function graph filter broke the
 "EMPTY_HASH" descriptor by modifying it instead of creating a new hash to
 hold the entries.
 
 The command line parameter ftrace_graph_max_depth was added to allow its
 setting at boot time. It uses existing code and only the command line hook
 was added. This is not really a fix, but as it uses existing code without
 affecting anything else, I added it to this release. It was ready before the
 merge window closed, but I wanted to let it sit in linux-next for a couple
 of days first.

49978be705 docs: Clarify details for reporting security bugs
The kernel security team is regularly asked to provide CVE identifiers,
which we don't normally do. This updates the documentation to mention
this and adds some more details about coordination and patch handling
that come up regularly. Based on an earlier draft by Willy Tarreau.

933bfe4d27 HID: usbhid: extend polling interval configuration to joysticks
For mouse devices we can currently change the polling interval
via usbhid.mousepoll. Implement the same thing for joysticks, so
users can reduce input latency this way.

This has been tested with a Logitech RumblePad 2 with jspoll=2,
resulting in a polling rate of 500Hz (verified with evhz).

d82f269255 cpufreq: Add the "cpufreq.off=1" cmdline option
Add the "cpufreq.off=1" cmdline option.

At boot-time, this allows a user to request CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=n
behavior from a kernel built with CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y.

This is analogous to the existing "cpuidle.off=1" option
and CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=y

This capability is valuable when we need to debug end-user
issues in the BIOS or in Linux.  It is also convenient
for enabling comparisons, which may otherwise require a new kernel,
or help from BIOS SETUP, which may be buggy or unavailable.

65a50c6562 ftrace/graph: Add ftrace_graph_max_depth kernel parameter
Early trace callgraphs can be extremely large on systems with
several seconds of boot time. The max_depth parameter limits how
deep the graph trace goes and reduces the output size. This
parameter is the same as the max_graph_depth file in tracefs.

9332ef9dbd scripts/spelling.txt: add "an user" pattern and fix typo instances
Fix typos and add the following to the scripts/spelling.txt:

  an user||a user
  an userspace||a userspace

I also added "userspace" to the list since it is a common word in Linux.
I found some instances for "an userfaultfd", but I did not add it to the
list.  I felt it is endless to find words that start with "user" such as
"userland" etc., so must draw a line somewhere.

1663f26df3 slub: make sysfs directories for memcg sub-caches optional
SLUB creates a per-cache directory under /sys/kernel/slab which hosts a
bunch of debug files.  Usually, there aren't that many caches on a
system and this doesn't really matter; however, if memcg is in use, each
cache can have per-cgroup sub-caches.  SLUB creates the same directories
for these sub-caches under /sys/kernel/slab/$CACHE/cgroup.

Unfortunately, because there can be a lot of cgroups, active or
draining, the product of the numbers of caches, cgroups and files in
each directory can reach a very high number - hundreds of thousands is
commonplace.  Millions and beyond aren't difficult to reach either.

What's under /sys/kernel/slab is primarily for debugging and the
information and control on the a root cache already cover its
sub-caches.  While having a separate directory for each sub-cache can be
helpful for development, it doesn't make much sense to pay this amount
of overhead by default.

This patch introduces a boot parameter slub_memcg_sysfs which determines
whether to create sysfs directories for per-memcg sub-caches.  It also
adds CONFIG_SLUB_MEMCG_SYSFS_ON which determines the boot parameter's
default value and defaults to 0.

37c85961c3 TTY/Serial driver patches for 4.11-rc1
Here is the big tty/serial driver patchset for 4.11-rc1.
 
 Not much here, but a lot of little fixes and individual serial driver
 updates all over the subsystem.  Majority are for the sh-sci driver and
 platform (the arch-specific changes have acks from the maintainer).
 
 The start of the "serial bus" code is here as well, but nothing is
 converted to use it yet.  That work is still ongoing, hopefully will
 start to show up across different subsystems for 4.12 (bluetooth is one
 major place that will be used.)
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
 issues.

47512cfd0d x86/platform/goldfish: Prevent unconditional loading
The goldfish platform code registers the platform device unconditionally
which causes havoc in several ways if the goldfish_pdev_bus driver is
enabled:

 - Access to the hardcoded physical memory region, which is either not
   available or contains stuff which is completely unrelated.

 - Prevents that the interrupt of the serial port can be requested

 - In case of a spurious interrupt it goes into a infinite loop in the
   interrupt handler of the pdev_bus driver (which needs to be fixed
   seperately).

Add a 'goldfish' command line option to make the registration opt-in when
the platform is compiled in.

I'm seriously grumpy about this engineering trainwreck, which has seven
SOBs from Intel developers for 50 lines of code. And none of them figured
out that this is broken. Impressive fail!

89175cf766 s390: provide sclp based boot console
Use the early sclp code to provide a boot console. This boot console
is available if the kernel parameter "earlyprintk" has been specified,
just like it works for other architectures that also provide an early
boot console.

This makes debugging of early problems much easier, since now we
finally have working console output even before memory detection is
running.

The boot console will be automatically disabled as soon as another
console will be registered.

9c4aa1eecb ACPI / sysfs: Provide quirk mechanism to prevent GPE flooding
Sometimes, the users may require a quirk to be provided from ACPI subsystem
core to prevent a GPE from flooding.
Normally, if a GPE cannot be dispatched, ACPICA core automatically prevents
the GPE from firing. But there are cases the GPE is dispatched by _Lxx/_Exx
provided via AML table, and OSPM is lacking of the knowledge to get
_Lxx/_Exx correctly executed to handle the GPE, thus the GPE flooding may
still occur.

The existing quirk mechanism can be enabled/disabled using the following
commands to prevent such kind of GPE flooding during runtime:
 # echo mask > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe00
 # echo unmask > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe00
To avoid GPE flooding during boot, we need a boot stage mechanism.

This patch provides such a boot stage quirk mechanism to stop this kind of
GPE flooding. This patch doesn't fix any feature gap but since the new
feature gaps could be found in the future endlessly, and can disappear if
the feature gaps are filled, providing a boot parameter rather than a DMI
table should suffice.

d68a6fe9fc ima: define a canonical binary_runtime_measurements list format
The IMA binary_runtime_measurements list is currently in platform native
format.

To allow restoring a measurement list carried across kexec with a
different endianness than the targeted kernel, this patch defines
little-endian as the canonical format.  For big endian systems wanting
to save/restore the measurement list from a system with a different
endianness, a new boot command line parameter named "ima_canonical_fmt"
is defined.

Considerations: use of the "ima_canonical_fmt" boot command line option
will break existing userspace applications on big endian systems
expecting the binary_runtime_measurements list to be in platform native
format.

On architectures like arm64, swiotlb is tied intimately to the core
architecture DMA support. In addition, ZONE_DMA cannot be disabled.

To aid debugging and catch devices not supporting DMA to memory outside
the 32-bit address space, add a kernel command line option
"swiotlb=noforce", which disables the use of bounce buffers.
If specified, trying to map memory that cannot be used with DMA will
fail, and a rate-limited warning will be printed.

Note that io_tlb_nslabs is set to 1, which is the minimal supported
value.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "Again, cpufreq gets more changes than the other parts this time (one
  new driver, one old driver less, a bunch of enhancements of the
  existing code, new CPU IDs, fixes, cleanups)

  There also are some changes in cpuidle (idle injection rework, a
  couple of new CPU IDs, online/offline rework in intel_idle, fixes and
  cleanups), in the generic power domains framework (mostly related to
  supporting power domains containing CPUs), and in the Operating
  Performance Points (OPP) library (mostly related to supporting devices
  with multiple voltage regulators)

  In addition to that, the system sleep state selection interface is
  modified to make it easier for distributions with unchanged user space
  to support suspend-to-idle as the default system suspend method, some
  issues are fixed in the PM core, the latency tolerance PM QoS
  framework is improved a bit, the Intel RAPL power capping driver is
  cleaned up and there are some fixes and cleanups in the devfreq
  subsystem

  Specifics:

   - New cpufreq driver for Broadcom STB SoCs and a Device Tree binding
     for it (Markus Mayer)

e7aa8c2eb1 These are the documentation changes for 4.10.
It's another busy cycle for the docs tree, as the sphinx conversion
 continues.  Highlights include:
 
  - Further work on PDF output, which remains a bit of a pain but should be
    more solid now.
 
  - Five more DocBook template files converted to Sphinx.  Only 27 to go...
    Lots of plain-text files have also been converted and integrated.
 
  - Images in binary formats have been replaced with more source-friendly
    versions.
 
  - Various bits of organizational work, including the renaming of various
    files discussed at the kernel summit.
 
  - New documentation for the device_link mechanism.
 
 ...and, of course, lots of typo fixes and small updates.

7358bb2f32 docs: Clean up and organize the admin guide a bit
The admin guide is a good start, but it's time to turn it into something
better than an unordered blob of files.  This is a first step in that
direction.  The TOC has been split up and annotated, the guides have been
reordered, and minor tweaks have been applied to a few of them.

One consequence of splitting up the TOC is that we don't really want to use
:numbered: anymore, since the count resets every time and there doesn't
seem to be a way to change that.  Eventually we probably want to group the
documents into sub-books, at which point we can go back to a single TOC,
but it's probably early to do that.
