Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"The majority of changes go into the cpufreq subsystem this time.
To me, quite obviously, the biggest ticket item is the new "schedutil"
governor. Interestingly enough, it's the first new cpufreq governor
since the beginning of the git era (except for some out-of-the-tree
ones).
There are two main differences between it and the existing governors.
First, it uses the information provided by the scheduler directly for
making its decisions, so it doesn't have to track anything by itself.
Second, it can invoke drivers (supporting that feature) to adjust CPU
performance right away without having to spawn work items to be
executed in process context or similar. Currently, the acpi-cpufreq
driver is the only one supporting that mode of operation, but then it
is used on a large number of systems.
The "schedutil" governor as included here is very simple and mostly
regarded as a foundation for future work on the integration of the
scheduler with CPU power management (in fact, there is work in
progress on top of it already). Nevertheless it works and the
preliminary results obtained with it are encouraging.
There also is some consolidation of CPU frequency management for ARM
platforms that can add their machine IDs the the new stub dt-platdev
driver now and that will take care of creating the requisite platform
device for cpufreq-dt, so it is not necessary to do that in platform
code any more. Several ARM platforms are switched over to using this
generic mechanism.
In addition to that, the intel_pstate driver is now going to respect
CPU frequency limits set by the platform firmware (or a BMC) and
provided via the ACPI _PPC object.
The devfreq subsystem is getting a new "passive" governor for SoCs
subsystems that will depend on somebody else to manage their voltage
rails and its support for Samsung Exynos SoCs is consolidated.
The rest is support for new hardware (Intel Broxton support in
intel_idle for one example), bug fixes, optimizations and cleanups in
a number of places.
Specifics:
- New cpufreq "schedutil" governor (making decisions based on CPU
utilization information provided by the scheduler and capable of
switching CPU frequencies right away if the underlying driver
supports that) and support for fast frequency switching in the
acpi-cpufreq driver (Rafael Wysocki)
- Consolidation of CPU frequency management on ARM platforms allowing
them to get rid of some platform-specific boilerplate code if they
are going to use the cpufreq-dt driver (Viresh Kumar, Finley Xiao,
Marc Gonzalez)
- Support for ACPI _PPC and CPU frequency limits in the intel_pstate
driver (Srinivas Pandruvada)
- Fixes and cleanups in the cpufreq core and generic governor code
(Rafael Wysocki, Sai Gurrappadi)
- intel_pstate driver optimizations and cleanups (Rafael Wysocki,
Philippe Longepe, Chen Yu, Joe Perches)
- cpufreq powernv driver fixes and cleanups (Akshay Adiga, Shilpasri
Bhat)
- cpufreq qoriq driver fixes and cleanups (Jia Hongtao)
- ACPI cpufreq driver cleanups (Viresh Kumar)
- Assorted cpufreq driver updates (Ashwin Chaugule, Geliang Tang,
Javier Martinez Canillas, Paul Gortmaker, Sudeep Holla)
- Assorted cpufreq fixes and cleanups (Joe Perches, Arnd Bergmann)
- Fixes and cleanups in the OPP (Operating Performance Points)
framework, mostly related to OPP sharing, and reorganization of
OF-dependent code in it (Viresh Kumar, Arnd Bergmann, Sudeep Holla)
- New "passive" governor for devfreq (for SoC subsystems that will
rely on someone else for the management of their power resources)
and consolidation of devfreq support for Exynos platforms, coding
style and typo fixes for devfreq (Chanwoo Choi, MyungJoo Ham)
- PM core fixes and cleanups, mostly to make it work better with the
generic power domains (genpd) framework, and updates for that
framework (Ulf Hansson, Thierry Reding, Colin Ian King)
- Intel Broxton support for the intel_idle driver (Len Brown)
- cpuidle core optimization and fix (Daniel Lezcano, Dave Gerlach)
- ARM cpuidle cleanups (Jisheng Zhang)
- Intel Kabylake support for the RAPL power capping driver (Jacob
Pan)
- AVS (Adaptive Voltage Switching) rockchip-io driver update (Heiko
Stuebner)

cpufreq: intel_pstate: Enforce _PPC limits
Use ACPI _PPC notification to limit max P state driver will request. ACPI _PPC change notification is sent by BIOS to limit max P state in several cases: - Reduce impact of platform thermal condition - When Config TDP feature is used, a changed _PPC is sent to follow TDP change - Remote node managers in server want to control platform power via baseboard management controller (BMC) This change registers with ACPI processor performance lib so that _PPC changes are notified to cpufreq core, which in turns will result in call to .setpolicy() callback. Also the way _PSS table identifies a turbo frequency is not compatible to max turbo frequency in intel_pstate, so the very first entry in _PSS needs to be adjusted.

arm64: acpi: add acpi=on cmdline option to prefer ACPI boot over DT
If both ACPI and DT platform descriptions are available, and the kernel was configured at build time to support both flavours, the default policy is to prefer DT over ACPI, and preferring ACPI over DT while still allowing DT as a fallback is not possible. Since some enterprise features (such as RAS) depend on ACPI, it may be desirable for, e.g., distro installers to prefer ACPI boot but fall back to DT rather than failing completely if no ACPI tables are available. So introduce the 'acpi=on' kernel command line parameter for arm64, which signifies that ACPI should be used if available, and DT should only be used as a fallback.

x86/platform/uv: Disable UV BAU by default
For several years, the common practice has been to boot UVs with the "nobau" parameter on the command line, to disable the BAU. We've decided that it makes more sense to just disable the BAU by default in the kernel, and provide the option to turn it on, if desired. For now, having the on/off switch doesn't buy us any more than just reversing the logic would, but we're working towards having the BAU enabled by default on UV4. When those changes are in place, having the on/off switch will make more sense than an enable flag, since the default behavior will be different depending on the system version. I've also added a bit of documentation for the new parameter to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt.

Merge branch 'mm-pkeys-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature
that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys).
There's a background article at LWN.net:
https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/
The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of
user-controllable permission masks in the pte. So instead of having a
fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change
and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of)
protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively
cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected
virtual memory range.
This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large
amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions. It also
allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the
executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that
below).
This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for
that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys -
if a user-space application calls:
mmap(..., PROT_EXEC);
or
mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC);
(note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice
this special case, and will set a special protection key on this
memory range. It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection
Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable
and unwritable.
So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true'
PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies
PROT_READ as well. Unreadable executable mappings have security
advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out
ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they
cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either.
We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC
mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new
feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion.
There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system
call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this
pull request.
Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature
(CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled
(like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime
overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment. If there's
any serious problem with this then we can make it configurable and/or
flip the default"

Merge branch 'for-4.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"cgroup changes for v4.6-rc1. No userland visible behavior changes in
this pull request. I'll send out a separate pull request for the
addition of cgroup namespace support.
- The biggest change is the revamping of cgroup core task migration
and controller handling logic. There are quite a few places where
controllers and tasks are manipulated. Previously, many of those
places implemented custom operations for each specific use case
assuming specific starting conditions. While this worked, it makes
the code fragile and difficult to follow.
The bulk of this pull request restructures these operations so that
most related operations are performed through common helpers which
implement recursive (subtrees are always processed consistently)
and idempotent (they make cgroup hierarchy converge to the target
state rather than performing operations assuming specific starting
conditions). This makes the code a lot easier to understand,
verify and extend.
- Implicit controller support is added. This is primarily for using
perf_event on the v2 hierarchy so that perf can match cgroup v2
path without requiring the user to do anything special. The kernel
portion of perf_event changes is acked but userland changes are
still pending review.
- cgroup_no_v1= boot parameter added to ease testing cgroup v2 in
certain environments.
- There is a regression introduced during v4.4 devel cycle where
attempts to migrate zombie tasks can mess up internal object
management. This was fixed earlier this week and included in this
pull request w/ stable cc'd.
- Misc non-critical fixes and improvements"

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This time the majority of changes go into cpufreq and they are
significant.
First off, the way CPU frequency updates are triggered is different
now. Instead of having to set up and manage a deferrable timer for
each CPU in the system to evaluate and possibly change its frequency
periodically, cpufreq governors set up callbacks to be invoked by the
scheduler on a regular basis (basically on utilization updates). The
"old" governors, "ondemand" and "conservative", still do all of their
work in process context (although that is triggered by the scheduler
now), but intel_pstate does it all in the callback invoked by the
scheduler with no need for any additional asynchronous processing.
Of course, this eliminates the overhead related to the management of
all those timers, but also it allows the cpufreq governor code to be
simplified quite a bit. On top of that, the common code and data
structures used by the "ondemand" and "conservative" governors are
cleaned up and made more straightforward and some long-standing and
quite annoying problems are addressed. In particular, the handling of
governor sysfs attributes is modified and the related locking becomes
more fine grained which allows some concurrency problems to be avoided
(particularly deadlocks with the core cpufreq code).
In principle, the new mechanism for triggering frequency updates
allows utilization information to be passed from the scheduler to
cpufreq. Although the current code doesn't make use of it, in the
works is a new cpufreq governor that will make decisions based on the
scheduler's utilization data. That should allow the scheduler and
cpufreq to work more closely together in the long run.
In addition to the core and governor changes, cpufreq drivers are
updated too. Fixes and optimizations go into intel_pstate, the
cpufreq-dt driver is updated on top of some modification in the
Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework and there are fixes and
other updates in the powernv cpufreq driver.
Apart from the cpufreq updates there is some new ACPICA material,
including a fix for a problem introduced by previous ACPICA updates,
and some less significant changes in the ACPI code, like CPPC code
optimizations, ACPI processor driver cleanups and support for loading
ACPI tables from initrd.
Also updated are the generic power domains framework, the Intel RAPL
power capping driver and the turbostat utility and we have a bunch of
traditional assorted fixes and cleanups.
Specifics:
- Redesign of cpufreq governors and the intel_pstate driver to make
them use callbacks invoked by the scheduler to trigger CPU
frequency evaluation instead of using per-CPU deferrable timers for

mm/page_poison.c: enable PAGE_POISONING as a separate option
Page poisoning is currently set up as a feature if architectures don't have architecture debug page_alloc to allow unmapping of pages. It has uses apart from that though. Clearing of the pages on free provides an increase in security as it helps to limit the risk of information leaks. Allow page poisoning to be enabled as a separate option independent of kernel_map pages since the two features do separate work.

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The 4.6 pile of irq updates contains:
- Support for IPI irqdomains to support proper integration of IPIs to
and from coprocessors. The first user of this new facility is
MIPS. The relevant MIPS patches come with the core to avoid merge
ordering issues and have been acked by Ralf.
- A new command line option to set the default interrupt affinity
mask at boot time.
- Support for some more new ARM and MIPS interrupt controllers:
tango, alpine-msix and bcm6345-l1
- Two small cleanups for x86/apic which we merged into irq/core to
avoid yet another branch in x86 with two tiny commits.
- The usual set of updates, cleanups in drivers/irqchip. Mostly in
the area of ARM-GIC, arada-37-xp and atmel chips. Nothing
outstanding here"

ACPI: Add acpi_force_32bit_fadt_addr option to force 32 bit FADT addresses

phy: rockchip-usb: add handler for usb-uart functionality
Most newer Rockchip SoCs provide the possibility to use a usb-phy as passthrough for the debug uart (uart2), making it possible to for example get console output without needing to open the device. This patch adds an early_initcall to enable this functionality conditionally via the commandline and also disables the corresponding usb controller in the devicetree. Currently only data for the rk3288 is provided, but at least the rk3188 and arm64 rk3368 also provide this functionality and will be enabled later. On a spliced usb cable the signals are tx on white wire(D+) and rx on green wire(D-). The one caveat is that currently the reconfiguration of the phy happens as early_initcall, as the code depends on the unflattened devicetree being available. Everything is fine if only a regular console is active as the console-replay will happen after the reconfiguation. But with earlycon active output up to smp-init currently will get lost. The phy is an optional property for the connected dwc2 controller, so we still provide the phy device but fail all phy-ops with -EBUSY to make sure the dwc2 does not try to transmit anything on the repurposed phy.

mm/init: Add 'rodata=off' boot cmdline parameter to disable read-only kernel mappings
It may be useful to debug writes to the readonly sections of memory, so provide a cmdline "rodata=off" to allow for this. This can be expanded in the future to support "log" and "write" modes, but that will need to be architecture-specific. This also makes KDB software breakpoints more usable, as read-only mappings can now be disabled on any kernel. Suggested-by: H.

x86/mm/pkeys: Actually enable Memory Protection Keys in the CPU
This sets the bit in 'cr4' to actually enable the protection keys feature. We also include a boot-time disable for the feature "nopku". Seting X86_CR4_PKE will cause the X86_FEATURE_OSPKE cpuid bit to appear set. At this point in boot, identify_cpu() has already run the actual CPUID instructions and populated the "cpu features" structures. We need to go back and re-run identify_cpu() to make sure it gets updated values. We *could* simply re-populate the 11th word of the cpuid data, but this is probably quick enough. Also note that with the cpu_has() check and X86_FEATURE_PKU present in disabled-features.h, we do not need an #ifdef for setup_pku().
