The SKF_AD_ALU_XOR_X ancillary is not like the other ancillary data
instructions since it XORs A with X while all the others replace A with
some loaded value. All the BPF JITs fail to clear A if this is used as
the first instruction in a filter. This was found using american fuzzy
lop.
Add a helper to determine if A needs to be cleared given the first
instruction in a filter, and use this in the JITs. Except for ARM, the
rest have only been compile-tested.

Spansion and Winbond have occasionally used the same manufacturer ID,
and they don't support the same features. Particularly, writing SR=0
seems to break read access for Spansion's s25fl064k. Unfortunately, we
don't currently have a way to differentiate these Spansion and Winbond
parts, so rather than regressing support for these Spansion flash, let's
drop the new Winbond lock/unlock support for now. We can try to address
Winbond support during the next release cycle.

Some of devices supports the trigger level for interrupt
like rising/falling edge specially for GPIOs. The interrupt
support of such devices may have uses the generic regmap irq
framework for implementation.
Add support to configure the trigger type device interrupt
register via regmap-irq framework. The regmap-irq framework
configures the trigger register only if the details of trigger
type registers are provided.

On some SPI controllers it is not feasible to transfer arbitrary amount
of data at once.
When the limit on transfer size is a few kilobytes at least it makes
sense to use the SPI hardware rather than reverting to gpio driver.
The protocol drivers need a way to check that they do not sent overly
long messages, though.

The separate struct bgpio_chip has been a pain to handle, both
by being confusingly similar in name to struct gpio_chip and
for being contained inside a struct so that struct gpio_chip
is contained in a struct contained in a struct, making several
steps of dereferencing necessary.
Make things simpler: include the fields directly into
<linux/gpio/driver.h>, #ifdef:ed for CONFIG_GENERIC_GPIO, and
get rid of the <linux/basic_mmio_gpio.h> altogether. Prefix
some of the member variables with bgpio_* and add proper
kerneldoc while we're at it.
Modify all users to handle the change and use a struct
gpio_chip directly. And while we're at it: replace all
container_of() dereferencing by gpiochip_get_data() and
registering the gpio_chip with gpiochip_add_data().

This adds a void * pointer to gpio_chip so that driver can
assign and retrieve some states. This is done to get rid of
container_of() calls for gpio_chips embedded inside state
containers, so we can remove the need to have the gpio_chip
or later (planned) struct gpio_device be dynamically allocated
at registration time, so that its struct device can be properly
reference counted and not bound to its parent device (e.g.
a platform_device) but instead live on after unregistration
if it is opened by e.g. a char device or sysfs.
The data is added with the new function gpiochip_add_data()
and for compatibility we add static inline wrapper function
gpiochip_add() that will call gpiochip_add_data() with
NULL as argument. The latter will be removed once we have
exorcised gpiochip_add() from the kernel.
gpiochip_get_data() is added as a static inline accessor
for drivers to quickly get their data out.

NFC 4.5 pull request
This is the first NFC pull request for 4.5 and it brings:
- A new driver for the STMicroelectronics ST95HF NFC chipset.
The ST95HF is an NFC digital transceiver with an embedded analog
front-end and as such relies on the Linux NFC digital
implementation. This is the 3rd user of the NFC digital stack.
- ACPI support for the ST st-nci and st21nfca drivers.
- A small improvement for the nfcsim driver, as we can now tune
the Rx delay through sysfs.
- A bunch of minor cleanups and small fixes from Christophe Ricard,
for a few drivers and the NFC core code.

Commit 71557a37adb5 ("[netdrvr] sh_eth: Add SH7619 support") added support
for the big-endian EDMAC descriptors. However, it was never used and never
worked right until the recent driver fixes. I think we now can just remove
this support, it was only burdening the driver from the start. It should be
easy to do without disturbing the SH platform code, at least for now...

ConfigFS lacked binary attributes up until now. This patch
introduces support for binary attributes in a somewhat similar
manner of sysfs binary attributes albeit with changes that
fit the configfs usage model.
Problems that configfs binary attributes fix are everything that
requires a binary blob as part of the configuration of a resource,
such as bitstream loading for FPGAs, DTBs for dynamically created
devices etc.
Look at Documentation/filesystems/configfs/configfs.txt for internals
and howto use them.
This patch is against linux-next as of today that contains
Christoph's configfs rework.

This patch removes SET_BRIGHTNESS_ASYNC and SET_BRIGHTNESS_SYNC flags.
led_set_brightness() now calls led_set_brightness_nosleep() instead of
choosing between sync and async op basing on the flags defined by the
driver.
From now on, if a user wants to make sure that brightness will be set
synchronously, they have to use led_set_brightness_sync() API. It is now
being made publicly available since it has become apparent that it is
a caller who should decide whether brightness is to be set in
a synchronous or an asynchronous way.

This patch makes LED core capable of setting brightness for drivers
that implement brightness_set_blocking op. It removes from LED class
drivers responsibility for using work queues on their own.
In order to achieve this set_brightness_delayed callback is being
modified to directly call one of available ops for brightness setting.
led_set_brightness_async() function didn't set brightness in an
asynchronous way in all cases. It was mistakenly assuming that all
LED subsystem drivers used work queue in their brightness_set op,
whereas only half of them did that. Since it has no users now,
it is being removed.

The initial purpose of brightness_set_sync op, introduced along with
the LED flash class extension, was to add a means for setting torch LED
brightness as soon as possible, which couldn't have been guaranteed by
brightness_set op. This patch renames the op to brightness_set_blocking,
which describes its purpose in a more generic way. It is beneficial
in view of the prospective changes in the LED core, aiming at removing
the need for using work queues in LED class drivers that can sleep
or use delays while setting brightness.

The of_get_named_gpio_flags() function does nothing other than returning
an error when CONFIG_OF_GPIO is disabled, but that causes spurious
warnings about possible use of uninitialized variables in any code that
does not check the of_get_named_gpio_flags() return value before trying
to use the flags:
drivers/input/misc/rotary_encoder.c: In function 'rotary_encoder_probe':
drivers/input/misc/rotary_encoder.c:223:28: warning: 'flags' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
drivers/power/bq24735-charger.c: In function 'bq24735_charger_probe':

drivers/power/sbs-battery.c: In function 'sbs_probe':
drivers/power/sbs-battery.c:782:17: warning: 'gpio_flags' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
This changes the behavior of the inline helper to set the flags to zero
when OF_GPIO is disabled, to avoid the warnings. In all cases I've
encountered, we don't actually get to the place that uses the flags
if CONFIG_OF is disabled because we won't enter the DT parser code.

mod_zone_page_state() takes a "delta" integer argument. delta contains
the number of pages that should be added or subtracted from a struct
zone's vm_stat field.
If a zone is larger than 8TB this will cause overflows. E.g. for a
zone with a size slightly larger than 8TB the line
mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_ALLOC_BATCH, zone->managed_pages);
in mm/page_alloc.c:free_area_init_core() will result in a negative
result for the NR_ALLOC_BATCH entry within the zone's vm_stat, since 8TB
contain 0x8xxxxxxx pages which will be sign extended to a negative
value.
Fix this by changing the delta argument to long type.
This could fix an early boot problem seen on s390, where we have a 9TB
system with only one node. ZONE_DMA contains 2GB and ZONE_NORMAL the
rest. The system is trying to allocate a GFP_DMA page but ZONE_DMA is
completely empty, so it tries to reclaim pages in an endless loop.
This was seen on a heavily patched 3.10 kernel. One possible
explaination seem to be the overflows caused by mod_zone_page_state().
Unfortunately I did not have the chance to verify that this patch
actually fixes the problem, since I don't have access to the system
right now. However the overflow problem does exist anyway.
Given the description that a system with slightly less than 8TB does
work, this seems to be a candidate for the observed problem.

All variables required by the watchdog core to manage a watchdog are
currently stored in struct watchdog_device. The lifetime of those
variables is determined by the watchdog driver. However, the lifetime
of variables used by the watchdog core differs from the lifetime of
struct watchdog_device. To remedy this situation, watchdog drivers
can implement ref and unref callbacks, to be used by the watchdog
core to lock struct watchdog_device in memory.
While this solves the immediate problem, it depends on watchdog drivers
to actually implement the ref/unref callbacks. This is error prone,
often not implemented in the first place, or not implemented correctly.
To solve the problem without requiring driver support, split the variables
in struct watchdog_device into two data structures - one for variables
associated with the watchdog driver, one for variables associated with
the watchdog core. With this approach, the watchdog core can keep track
of its variable lifetime and no longer depends on ref/unref callbacks
in the driver. As a side effect, some of the variables originally in
struct watchdog_driver are now private to the watchdog core and no longer
visible in watchdog drivers.
As a side effect of the changes made, an ioctl will now always fail
with -ENODEV after a watchdog device was unregistered with the character
device still open. Previously, it would only fail with -ENODEV in some
situations. Also, ioctl operations are now atomic from driver perspective.
With this change, it is now guaranteed that the driver will not unregister
a watchdog between a timeout change and the subsequent ping.
The 'ref' and 'unref' callbacks in struct watchdog_driver are no longer
used and marked as deprecated.
