Removing dead code in drivers is the next step" Notes from previous discussion about this: "The AVR32 architecture is not keeping up with the development of the kernel, and since it shares so much of the drivers with Atmel ARM SoC, it is starting to hinder these drivers to develop swiftly. Also, all AVR32 AP7 SoC processors are end of lifed from Atmel (now Microchip). Finally, the GCC toolchain is stuck at version 4.2.x, and has not received any patches since the last release from Atmel; 4.2.4-atmel.1.1.3.avr32linux.1. When building kernel v4.10, this toolchain is no longer able to properly link the network stack. Haavard and I have came to the conclusion that we feel keeping AVR32 on life support offers more obstacles for Atmel ARMs, than it gives joy to AVR32 users. I also suspect there are very few AVR32 users left today, if anybody at all" That discussion was acked by Andy Shevchenko, Boris Brezillon, Nicolas Ferre, and Haavard Skinnemoen. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/egtvedt/linux-avr32: mm: remove AVR32 arch special handling in mm/Kconfig lib: remove check for AVR32 arch in test_user_copy lib: remove AVR32 entry in Kconfig.debug compile with frame pointers scripts: remove AVR32 support from checkstack.pl docs: remove all references to AVR32 architecture avr32: remove support for AVR32 architecture

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki: "This time the majority of changes go to the cpufreq subsystem (and to the intel_pstate driver in particular) and there are some updates in the generic power domains framework, cpuidle, tools and a couple of other places. One thing worth mentioning is that the intel_pstate's sysfs interface has been reworked to be more consistent with the general expectations of the cpufreq core and less confusing, hopefully for the better. Also, we have a new cpufreq driver for Tegra186 and new hardware support in intel_pstata and the Mediatek cpufreq driver. Apart from that, the AnalyzeSuspend utility for system suspend profiling gets a companion called AnalyzeBoot for the analogous profiling of system boot and they both go into one place under tools/power/pm-graph/. The rest is mostly fixes, cleanups and code reorganization. Specifics: - Rework the intel_pstate driver's sysfs interface to make it more straightforward and more intuitive (Rafael Wysocki). - Make intel_pstate support all processors which advertise HWP (hardware-managed P-states) to the kernel in all operation modes and make it use the load-based P-state selection algorithm on a wider range of systems in the active mode (Rafael Wysocki). - Add cpufreq driver for Tegra186 (Mikko Perttunen). - Add support for Gemini Lake SoCs to intel_pstate (David Box). - Add support for MT8176 and MT817x to the Mediatek cpufreq driver and clean up that driver a bit (Daniel Kurtz). - Clean up intel_pstate and optimize it slightly (Rafael Wysocki). - Update the schedutil cpufreq governor, mostly to fix a couple of issues with it related to specific workloads, and rework its sysfs tunable and initialization a bit (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar). - Fix minor issues in the imx6q, dbx500 and qoriq cpufreq drivers (Christophe Jaillet, Irina Tirdea, Leonard Crestez, Viresh Kumar, YuanTian Tang). - Add file patterns for cpufreq DT bindings to MAINTAINERS (Geert Uytterhoeven). - Add support for "always on" power domains to the genpd (generic power domains) framework and clean up that code somewhat (Ulf Hansson, Lina Iyer, Viresh Kumar). - Fix minor issues in the powernv cpuidle driver and clean it up (Anton Blanchard, Gautham Shenoy). - Move the AnalyzeSuspend utility under tools/power/pm-graph/ and add an analogous boot-profiling utility called AnalyzeBoot to it (Todd Brandt). - Add rk3328 support to the rockchip-io AVS (Adaptive Voltage Scaling) driver (David Wu). - Fix minor issues in the cpuidle core, the intel_pstate_tracer utility, the devfreq framework and the PM core documentation (Chanwoo Choi, Doug Smythies, Johan Hovold, Marcin Nowakowski)" * tag 'pm-4.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (56 commits) PM / runtime: Document autosuspend-helper side effects PM / runtime: Fix autosuspend documentation tools: power: pm-graph: Package makefile and man pages tools: power: pm-graph: AnalyzeBoot v2.0 tools: power: pm-graph: AnalyzeSuspend v4.6 cpufreq: Add Tegra186 cpufreq driver cpufreq: imx6q: Fix error handling code cpufreq: imx6q: Set max suspend_freq to avoid changes during suspend cpufreq: imx6q: Fix handling EPROBE_DEFER from regulator cpuidle: powernv: Avoid a branch in the core snooze_loop() loop cpuidle: powernv: Don't continually set thread priority in snooze_loop() cpuidle: powernv: Don't bounce between low and very low thread priority cpuidle: cpuidle-cps: remove unused variable tools/power/x86/intel_pstate_tracer: Adjust directory ownership cpufreq: schedutil: Use policy-dependent transition delays cpufreq: schedutil: Reduce frequencies slower PM / devfreq: Move struct devfreq_governor to devfreq directory PM / Domains: Ignore domain-idle-states that are not compatible cpufreq: intel_pstate: Add support for Gemini Lake powernv-cpuidle: Validate DT property array size ...

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe: - Add BFQ IO scheduler under the new blk-mq scheduling framework. BFQ was initially a fork of CFQ, but subsequently changed to implement fairness based on B-WF2Q+, a modified variant of WF2Q. BFQ is meant to be used on desktop type single drives, providing good fairness. From Paolo. - Add Kyber IO scheduler. This is a full multiqueue aware scheduler, using a scalable token based algorithm that throttles IO based on live completion IO stats, similary to blk-wbt. From Omar. - A series from Jan, moving users to separately allocated backing devices. This continues the work of separating backing device life times, solving various problems with hot removal. - A series of updates for lightnvm, mostly from Javier. Includes a 'pblk' target that exposes an open channel SSD as a physical block device. - A series of fixes and improvements for nbd from Josef. - A series from Omar, removing queue sharing between devices on mostly legacy drivers. This helps us clean up other bits, if we know that a queue only has a single device backing. This has been overdue for more than a decade. - Fixes for the blk-stats, and improvements to unify the stats and user windows. This both improves blk-wbt, and enables other users to register a need to receive IO stats for a device. From Omar. - blk-throttle improvements from Shaohua. This provides a scalable framework for implementing scalable priotization - particularly for blk-mq, but applicable to any type of block device. The interface is marked experimental for now. - Bucketized IO stats for IO polling from Stephen Bates. This improves efficiency of polled workloads in the presence of mixed block size IO. - A few fixes for opal, from Scott. - A few pulls for NVMe, including a lot of fixes for NVMe-over-fabrics. From a variety of folks, mostly Sagi and James Smart. - A series from Bart, improving our exposed info and capabilities from the blk-mq debugfs support. - A series from Christoph, cleaning up how handle WRITE_ZEROES. - A series from Christoph, cleaning up the block layer handling of how we track errors in a request. On top of being a nice cleanup, it also shrinks the size of struct request a bit. - Removal of mg_disk and hd (sorry Linus) by Christoph.

2017-04-24net/tcp_fastopen: Disable active side TFO in certain scenariosWei Wang
Middlebox firewall issues can potentially cause server's data being blackholed after a successful 3WHS using TFO. Following are the related reports from Apple: https://www.nanog.org/sites/default/files/Paasch_Network_Support.pdf Slide 31 identifies an issue where the client ACK to the server's data sent during a TFO'd handshake is dropped. C ---> syn-data ---> S C <--- syn/ack ----- S C (accept & write) C <---- data ------- S C ----- ACK -> X S [retry and timeout] https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/94/slides/slides-94-tcpm-13.pdf Slide 5 shows a similar situation that the server's data gets dropped after 3WHS. C ---- syn-data ---> S C <--- syn/ack ----- S C ---- ack --------> S S (accept & write) C? X <- data ------ S [retry and timeout] This is the worst failure b/c the client can not detect such behavior to mitigate the situation (such as disabling TFO). Failing to proceed, the application (e.g., SSL library) may simply timeout and retry with TFO again, and the process repeats indefinitely. The proposed solution is to disable active TFO globally under the following circumstances: 1. client side TFO socket detects out of order FIN 2. client side TFO socket receives out of order RST We disable active side TFO globally for 1hr at first. Then if it happens again, we disable it for 2h, then 4h, 8h, ... And we reset the timeout to 1hr if a client side TFO sockets not opened on loopback has successfully received data segs from server. And we examine this condition during close(). The rational behind it is that when such firewall issue happens, application running on the client should eventually close the socket as it is not able to get the data it is expecting. Or application running on the server should close the socket as it is not able to receive any response from client. In both cases, out of order FIN or RST will get received on the client given that the firewall will not block them as no data are in those frames. And we want to disable active TFO globally as it helps if the middle box is very close to the client and most of the connections are likely to fail. Also, add a debug sysctl: tcp_fastopen_blackhole_detect_timeout_sec: the initial timeout to use when firewall blackhole issue happens. This can be set and read. When setting it to 0, it means to disable the active disable logic.

2017-04-24mdio_bus: Issue GPIO RESET to PHYs.Roger Quadros
Some boards [1] leave the PHYs at an invalid state during system power-up or reset thus causing unreliability issues with the PHY which manifests as PHY not being detected or link not functional. To fix this, these PHYs need to be RESET via a GPIO connected to the PHY's RESET pin. Some boards have a single GPIO controlling the PHY RESET pin of all PHYs on the bus whereas some others have separate GPIOs controlling individual PHY RESETs. In both cases, the RESET de-assertion cannot be done in the PHY driver as the PHY will not probe till its reset is de-asserted. So do the RESET de-assertion in the MDIO bus driver.

2017-04-21Replace 2 jiffies with sysctl netdev_budget_usecs to enable softirq tuningMatthew Whitehead
Constants used for tuning are generally a bad idea, especially as hardware changes over time. Replace the constant 2 jiffies with sysctl variable netdev_budget_usecs to enable sysadmins to tune the softirq processing. Also document the variable. For example, a very fast machine might tune this to 1000 microseconds, while my regression testing 486DX-25 needs it to be 4000 microseconds on a nearly idle network to prevent time_squeeze from being incremented. Version 2: changed jiffies to microseconds for predictable units. Signed-off-by: Matthew Whitehead <tedheadster@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2017-04-20Documentation: allow installing man pages to a user defined directoryHerton R. Krzesinski
Documentation/DocBook/Makefile hard codes the prefixed path to which you can install the built man pages (/usr/local prefix). That's unfortunate since the user may want to install to another prefix or location (for example, a distribution packaging the man pages may want to install to a random temporary location in the build process). Be flexible and allow the prefixed path to which we install man pages to be changed with the INSTALL_MAN_PATH environment variable (and use the same default as other similar variables like INSTALL_HDR_PATH).

The contents of proc_usb_info.txt complements what's there at driver-api usb book. Yet, it is outdated, as it still refers to the USB character devices as usbfs. So, move the contents to usb.rst, adjusting it to point to the right places.

2017-04-20docs: process/4.Coding.rst: Fix a couple of document refsAndrew Clayton
In Documentation/process/4.Coding.rst there were a couple of paragraphs that spilled over the 80 character line length. This was likely caused when the document was converted to reStructuredText. Re-flow the paragraphs and make the document references proper reStructuredText :ref: links. This also adds the appropriate reStructuredText file heading to kernel-parameters.rst as referenced by the kernel-parameters link in this patch.
