ef691ff48b OMAPDSS: DT: Get source endpoint by matching reg-id
In omapdss_of_find_source_for_first_ep, we retrieve a source endpoint's DT node,
and then see what omapdss output has the matching device_node pointer in
omap_dss_find_output_by_node.

For all DPI and SDI outputs, the device_node pointer is set as the parent's DSS
device_node pointer. If the source is one of these outputs, the above method
won't work.

To get the correct output for ports within DSS(and in other cases in the future,
where multiple ports might be under one device), we require additional
information which is exclusive to the output port.

We create a new field in omap_dss_device called 'port_num', this provides port
number of the output port corresponding to this device. When searching for the
source endpoint in DT, we extract the 'reg' property from the port corresponding
to the endpoint source. From the list of registered outputs, we pick out that
output which has both dev->of_node and port_num matching with the device_node
pointer and 'reg' of the source endpoint node from DT.

For encoder blocks(the ones which have both an input and output port), we need
to set the port_num as the 'reg' property for the output port as defined in the
DT bindings. We set port_num to 1 in the tfp410 and tpd12s015 encoder drivers.

81d92dc117 Three main MTD fixes for 3.18:
* A regression from 3.16 which was noticed in 3.17. With the restructuring of
    the m25p80.c driver and the SPI NOR library framework, we omitted proper
    listing of the SPI device IDs. This means m25p80.c wouldn't auto-load
    (modprobe) properly when built as a module. For now, we duplicate the device
    IDs into both modules.
 
 * The OMAP / ELM modules were depending on an implicit link ordering. Use
   deferred probing so that the new link order (in 3.18-rc) can still allow for
   successful probing.
 
 * Fix suspend/resume support for LH28F640BF NOR flash

  17) Fix bcma driver build with OF_ADDRESS disabled, from Hauke

netfilter/ipvs fixes for net

The following patchset contains fixes for netfilter/ipvs. This round of
fixes is larger than usual at this stage, specifically because of the
nf_tables bridge reject fixes that I would like to see in 3.18. The
patches are:

1) Fix a null-pointer dereference that may occur when logging
   errors. This problem was introduced by 4a4739d56b ("ipvs: Pull
   out crosses_local_route_boundary logic") in v3.17-rc5.

2) Update hook mask in nft_reject_bridge so we can also filter out
   packets from there. This fixes 36d2af5 ("netfilter: nf_tables: allow
   to filter from prerouting and postrouting"), which needs this chunk
   to work.

3) Two patches to refactor common code to forge the IPv4 and IPv6
   reject packets from the bridge. These are required by the nf_tables
   reject bridge fix.

4) Fix nft_reject_bridge by avoiding the use of the IP stack to reject
   packets from the bridge. The idea is to forge the reject packets and
   inject them to the original port via br_deliver() which is now
   exported for that purpose.

5) Restrict nft_reject_bridge to bridge prerouting and input hooks.
   the original skbuff may cloned after prerouting when the bridge stack
   needs to flood it to several bridge ports, it is too late to reject
   the traffic.

b2de525f09 Return short read or 0 at end of a raw device, not EIO
Author: David Jeffery <djeffery@redhat.com>
Changes to the basic direct I/O code have broken the raw driver when reading
to the end of a raw device.  Instead of returning a short read for a read that
extends partially beyond the device's end or 0 when at the end of the device,
these reads now return EIO.

The raw driver needs the same end of device handling as was added for normal
block devices.  Using blkdev_read_iter, which has the needed size checks,
prevents the EIO conditions at the end of the device.

    RCU to avoid allocating unneeded kthreads on systems where the
    firmware says that there are more CPUs than are really present.

test_clear_page_writeback()              migration
                                           wait_on_page_writeback()
  TestClearPageWriteback()
                                           mem_cgroup_migrate()
                                             clear PCG_USED
  mem_cgroup_update_page_stat()
    if (PageCgroupUsed(pc))
      decrease memcg pages under writeback

  release pc->mem_cgroup->move_lock

The per-page statistics interface is heavily optimized to avoid a
function call and a lookup_page_cgroup() in the file unmap fast path,
which means it doesn't verify whether a page is still charged before
clearing PageWriteback() and it has to do it in the stat update later.

Rework it so that it looks up the page's memcg once at the beginning of
the transaction and then uses it throughout.  The charge will be
verified before clearing PageWriteback() and migration can't uncharge
the page as long as that is still set.  The RCU lock will protect the
memcg past uncharge.

As far as losing the optimization goes, the following test results are
from a microbenchmark that maps, faults, and unmaps a 4GB sparse file
three times in a nested fashion, so that there are two negative passes
that don't account but still go through the new transaction overhead.
There is no actual difference:

 old:     33.195102545 seconds time elapsed       ( +-  0.01% )
 new:     33.199231369 seconds time elapsed       ( +-  0.03% )

The time spent in page_remove_rmap()'s callees still adds up to the
same, but the time spent in the function itself seems reduced:

     # Children      Self  Command        Shared Object       Symbol
 old:     0.12%     0.11%  filemapstress  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] page_remove_rmap
 new:     0.12%     0.08%  filemapstress  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] page_remove_rmap

6d50e60cd2 mm, thp: fix collapsing of hugepages on madvise
If an anonymous mapping is not allowed to fault thp memory and then
madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) is used after fault, khugepaged will never
collapse this memory into thp memory.

This occurs because the madvise(2) handler for thp, hugepage_madvise(),
clears VM_NOHUGEPAGE on the stack and it isn't stored in vma->vm_flags
until the final action of madvise_behavior().  This causes the
khugepaged_enter_vma_merge() to be a no-op in hugepage_madvise() when
the vma had previously had VM_NOHUGEPAGE set.

Fix this by passing the correct vma flags to the khugepaged mm slot
handler.  There's no chance khugepaged can run on this vma until after
madvise_behavior() returns since we hold mm->mmap_sem.

It would be possible to clear VM_NOHUGEPAGE directly from vma->vm_flags
in hugepage_advise(), but I didn't want to introduce special case
behavior into madvise_behavior().  I think it's best to just let it
always set vma->vm_flags itself.

d7e2993396 rcu: Make rcu_barrier() understand about missing rcuo kthreads
Commit 35ce7f29a4 (rcu: Create rcuo kthreads only for onlined CPUs)
avoids creating rcuo kthreads for CPUs that never come online.  This
fixes a bug in many instances of firmware: Instead of lying about their
age, these systems instead lie about the number of CPUs that they have.
Before commit 35ce7f29a4, this could result in huge numbers of useless
rcuo kthreads being created.

It appears that experience indicates that I should have told the
people suffering from this problem to fix their broken firmware, but
I instead produced what turned out to be a partial fix.   The missing
piece supplied by this commit makes sure that rcu_barrier() knows not to
post callbacks for no-CBs CPUs that have not yet come online, because
otherwise rcu_barrier() will hang on systems having firmware that lies
about the number of CPUs.

It is tempting to simply have rcu_barrier() refuse to post a callback on
any no-CBs CPU that does not have an rcuo kthread.  This unfortunately
does not work because rcu_barrier() is required to wait for all pending
callbacks.  It is therefore required to wait even for those callbacks
that cannot possibly be invoked.  Even if doing so hangs the system.

Given that posting a callback to a no-CBs CPU that does not yet have an
rcuo kthread can hang rcu_barrier(), It is tempting to report an error
in this case.  Unfortunately, this will result in false positives at
boot time, when it is perfectly legal to post callbacks to the boot CPU
before the scheduler has started, in other words, before it is legal
to invoke rcu_barrier().

So this commit instead has rcu_barrier() avoid posting callbacks to
CPUs having neither rcuo kthread nor pending callbacks, and has it
complain bitterly if it finds CPUs having no rcuo kthread but some
pending callbacks.  And when rcu_barrier() does find CPUs having no rcuo
kthread but pending callbacks, as noted earlier, it has no choice but
to hang indefinitely.

5631b8fba6 compiler/gcc4+: Remove inaccurate comment about 'asm goto' miscompiles
The bug referenced by the comment in this commit was not
completely fixed in GCC 4.8.2, as I mentioned in a thread back
in February:

   https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/12/797

The conclusion at that time was to make the quirk unconditional
until the bug could be found and fixed in GCC. Unfortunately,
when I submitted the patch (commit a9f18034) I left a comment
in that claimed the bug was fixed in GCC 4.8.2+.

This comment is inaccurate, and should be removed.

96971e9aa9 This is a pretty large update. I think it is roughly as big
as what I usually had for the _whole_ rc period.
 
 There are a few bad bugs where the guest can OOPS or crash the host.  We
 have also started looking at attack models for nested virtualization;
 bugs that usually result in the guest ring 0 crashing itself become
 more worrisome if you have nested virtualization, because the nested
 guest might bring down the non-nested guest as well.  For current
 uses of nested virtualization these do not really have a security
 impact, but you never know and bugs are bugs nevertheless.
 
 A lot of these bugs are in 3.17 too, resulting in a large number of
 stable@ Ccs.  I checked that all the patches apply there with no
 conflicts.

 "This is material that didn't make it to my 3.18-rc1 pull request for

  The only really new thing here is the PM QoS class for memory
  bandwidth, but it is simple enough and users of it will be added in
  the next cycle.  One major change in behavior is that platform devices
  enumerated by ACPI will use 32-bit DMA mask by default.  Also included
  is an ACPICA update to a new upstream release, but that's mostly
  cleanups, changes in tools and similar.  The rest is fixes and
  cleanups mostly.

Pull thermal management updates from Zhang Rui:
 "Sorry that I missed the merge window as there is a bug found in the
  last minute, and I have to fix it and wait for the code to be tested
  in linux-next tree for a few days.  Now the buggy patch has been
  dropped entirely from my next branch.  Thus I hope those changes can
  still be merged in 3.18-rc2 as most of them are platform thermal
  driver changes.

  Specifics:

   - introduce ACPI INT340X thermal drivers.

     Newer laptops and tablets may have thermal sensors and other
     devices with thermal control capabilities that are exposed for the
     OS to use via the ACPI INT340x device objects.  Several drivers are
     introduced to expose the temperature information and cooling
     ability from these objects to user-space via the normal thermal
     framework.

     From: Lu Aaron, Lan Tianyu, Jacob Pan and Zhang Rui.

   - introduce a new thermal governor, which just uses a hysteresis to
     switch abruptly on/off a cooling device.  This governor can be used
     to control certain fan devices that can not be throttled but just
     switched on or off.  From: Peter Feuerer.

   - introduce support for some new thermal interrupt functions on
     i.MX6SX, in IMX thermal driver.  From: Anson, Huang.

   - introduce tracing support on thermal framework.  From: Punit
     Agrawal.

69c433ed2e fs: limit filesystem stacking depth
Add a simple read-only counter to super_block that indicates how deep this
is in the stack of filesystems.  Previously ecryptfs was the only stackable
filesystem and it explicitly disallowed multiple layers of itself.

Overlayfs, however, can be stacked recursively and also may be stacked
on top of ecryptfs or vice versa.

To limit the kernel stack usage we must limit the depth of the
filesystem stack.  Initially the limit is set to 2.

787fb6bc96 vfs: add whiteout support
Whiteout isn't actually a new file type, but is represented as a char
device (Linus's idea) with 0/0 device number.

This has several advantages compared to introducing a new whiteout file
type:

 - no userspace API changes (e.g. trivial to make backups of upper layer
   filesystem, without losing whiteouts)

 - no fs image format changes (you can boot an old kernel/fsck without
   whiteout support and things won't break)

 - implementation is trivial
