Pull core block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the main pull request for block storage for 4.15-rc1.
Nothing out of the ordinary in here, and no API changes or anything
like that. Just various new features for drivers, core changes, etc.
In particular, this pull request contains:
- A patch series from Bart, closing the whole on blk/scsi-mq queue
quescing.
- A series from Christoph, building towards hidden gendisks (for
multipath) and ability to move bio chains around.
- NVMe
- Support for native multipath for NVMe (Christoph).
- Userspace notifications for AENs (Keith).
- Command side-effects support (Keith).
- SGL support (Chaitanya Kulkarni)

Shao).
- Fix laptop mode on blk-mq (me).
- {mq,name} tupple lookup for IO schedulers, allowing us to have
alias names. This means you can use 'deadline' on both !mq and on
mq (where it's called mq-deadline). (me).
- blktrace race fix, oopsing on sg load (me).
- blk-mq optimizations (me).
- Obscure waitqueue race fix for kyber (Omar).
- NBD fixes (Josef).
- Disable writeback throttling by default on bfq, like we do on cfq
(Luca Miccio).

like any other request. This is a really nice cleanup.
- Series from Ming that improves merging on blk-mq with schedulers,
getting us closer to flipping the switch on scsi-mq again.
- BFQ updates (Paolo).
- blk-mq atomic flags memory ordering fixes (Peter Z).
- Loop cgroup support (Shaohua).
- Lots of minor fixes from lots of different folks, both for core and

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"There are no real big ticket items here this time.
The most noticeable change is probably the relocation of the OPP
(Operating Performance Points) framework to its own directory under
drivers/ as it has grown big enough for that. Also Viresh is now going
to maintain it and send pull requests for it to me, so you will see
this change in the git history going forward (but still not right
now).
Another noticeable set of changes is the modifications of the PM core,
the PCI subsystem and the ACPI PM domain to allow of more integration
between system-wide suspend/resume and runtime PM. For now it's just a
way to avoid resuming devices from runtime suspend unnecessarily
during system suspend (if the driver sets a flag to indicate its
readiness for that) and in the works is an analogous mechanism to
allow devices to stay suspended after system resume.
In addition to that, we have some changes related to supporting
frequency-invariant CPU utilization metrics in the scheduler and in
the schedutil cpufreq governor on ARM and changes to add support for
device performance states to the generic power domains (genpd)
framework.
The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups of various sorts.
Specifics:
- Relocate the OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework to its
own directory under drivers/ and add support for power domain
performance states to it (Viresh Kumar).
- Modify the PM core, the PCI bus type and the ACPI PM domain to
support power management driver flags allowing device drivers to
specify their capabilities and preferences regarding the handling
of devices with enabled runtime PM during system suspend/resume and
clean up that code somewhat (Rafael Wysocki, Ulf Hansson).
- Add frequency-invariant accounting support to the task scheduler on
ARM and ARM64 (Dietmar Eggemann).
- Fix PM QoS device resume latency framework to prevent "no
restriction" requests from overriding requests with specific
requirements and drop the confusing PM_QOS_FLAG_REMOTE_WAKEUP
device PM QoS flag (Rafael Wysocki).
- Drop legacy class suspend/resume operations from the PM core and
drop legacy bus type suspend and resume callbacks from ARM/locomo
(Rafael Wysocki).
- Add min/max frequency support to devfreq and clean it up somewhat
(Chanwoo Choi).
- Rework wakeup support in the generic power domains (genpd)
framework and update some of its users accordingly (Geert
Uytterhoeven).
- Convert timers in the PM core to use timer_setup() (Kees Cook).
- Add support for exposing the SLP_S0 (Low Power S0 Idle) residency
counter based on the LPIT ACPI table on Intel platforms (Srinivas
Pandruvada).
- Add per-CPU PM QoS resume latency support to the ladder cpuidle
governor (Ramesh Thomas).
- Fix a deadlock between the wakeup notify handler and the notifier
removal in the ACPI core (Ville Syrjälä).
- Fix a cpufreq schedutil governor issue causing it to use stale
cached frequency values sometimes (Viresh Kumar).
- Fix an issue in the system suspend core support code causing wakeup
events detection to fail in some cases (Rajat Jain).
- Fix the generic power domains (genpd) framework to prevent the PM
core from using the direct-complete optimization with it as that is
guaranteed to fail (Ulf Hansson).
- Fix a minor issue in the cpuidle core and clean it up a bit (Gaurav
Jindal, Nicholas Piggin).
- Fix and clean up the intel_idle and ARM cpuidle drivers (Jason
Baron, Len Brown, Leo Yan).
- Fix a couple of minor issues in the OPP framework and clean it up
(Arvind Yadav, Fabio Estevam, Sudeep Holla, Tobias Jordan).
- Fix and clean up some cpufreq drivers and fix a minor issue in the
cpufreq statistics code (Arvind Yadav, Bhumika Goyal, Fabio
Estevam, Gautham Shenoy, Gustavo Silva, Marek Szyprowski, Masahiro
Yamada, Robert Jarzmik, Zumeng Chen).
- Fix minor issues in the system suspend and hibernation core, in
power management documentation and in the AVS (Adaptive Voltage
Scaling) framework (Helge Deller, Himanshu Jha, Joe Perches, Rafael
Wysocki).
- Fix some issues in the cpupower utility and document that Shuah
Khan is going to maintain it going forward (Prarit Bhargava, Shuah
Khan)"

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Yet another big pile of changes:
- More year 2038 work from Arnd slowly reaching the point where we
need to think about the syscalls themself.
- A new timer function which allows to conditionally (re)arm a timer
only when it's either not running or the new expiry time is sooner
than the armed expiry time. This allows to use a single timer for
multiple timeout requirements w/o caring about the first expiry
time at the call site.
- A new NMI safe accessor to clock real time for the printk timestamp
work. Can be used by tracing, perf as well if required.
- A large number of timer setup conversions from Kees which got
collected here because either maintainers requested so or they
simply got ignored. As Kees pointed out already there are a few
trivial merge conflicts and some redundant commits which was
unavoidable due to the size of this conversion effort.
- Avoid a redundant iteration in the timer wheel softirq processing.
- Provide a mechanism to treat RTC implementations depending on their
hardware properties, i.e. don't inflict the write at the 0.5
seconds boundary which originates from the PC CMOS RTC to all RTCs.
No functional change as drivers need to be updated separately.
- The usual small updates to core code clocksource drivers. Nothing
really exciting"

Pull OpenRISC updates from Stafford Horne:
"The OpenRISC work is a bit more interesting this time, adding SMP
support and a few general cleanups.
Small Things:
- Move OpenRISC docs into Documentation and clean them up
- Document previously undocumented devicetree bindings
- Update the or1ksim dts to use stdout-path
OpenRISC SMP support details:
- First the "use shadow registers" and "define CPU_BIG_ENDIAN as
true" get the architecture ready for SMP.
- The "add 1 and 2 byte cmpxchg support" and "use qspinlocks and
qrwlocks" add the SMP locking infrastructure as needed. Using the
qspinlocks and qrwlocks as suggested by Peter Z while reviewing the
original spinlocks implementation.
- The "support for ompic" adds a new irqchip device which is used for
IPI communication to support SMP.
- The "initial SMP support" adds smp.c and makes changes to all of
the necessary data-structures to be per-cpu.
The remaining patches are bug fixes and debug helpers which I wanted
to keep separate from the "initial SMP support" in order to allow them
to be reviewed on their own. This includes:
- add cacheflush support to fix icache aliasing
- fix initial preempt state for secondary cpu tasks
- sleep instead of spin on secondary wait
- support framepointers and STACKTRACE_SUPPORT
- enable LOCKDEP_SUPPORT and irqflags tracing
- timer sync: Add tick timer sync logic
- fix possible deadlock in timer sync, pointed out by mips guys

it together with these patches"

ASoC: Updates for v4.15
The biggest thing this release has been the conversion of the AC98 bus
to the driver model, that's been a long time coming so thanks to Robert
Jarzmik for his dedication there. Due to there being some AC97 MFD
there's a few fairly large changes in input and the MFD layer, mainly to
the wm97xx driver.
There's also some drivers/drm changes to support the new AMD Stoney
platform, these are shared with the DRM subsystem and should be being
merged via both.
Within the subsystem the overwhelming bulk of the changes is in the
Intel drivers which continue to need lots of cleanups and fixes, this
release they've also gained support for their open source firmware.
There's also some large changs in the core as Morimoto-san continues to
mirror operations into the component level in preparation for conversion
of drivers to that.
- The AC97 bus has finally caught up with the driver model thanks to
some dedicated and persistent work from Robert Jarzmik.
- Continued work from Morimoto-san on moving us towards being able to
use components for everything.
- Lots of cleanups for the Intel platform code, including support for
their open source audio firmware.
- Support for scaling MCLK with sample rate in simple-card.
- Support for AMD Stoney platform.

Currently we are leaking addresses from the kernel to user space. This
script is an attempt to find some of those leakages. Script parses
`dmesg` output and /proc and /sys files for hex strings that look like
kernel addresses.
Only works for 64 bit kernels, the reason being that kernel addresses on
64 bit kernels have 'ffff' as the leading bit pattern making greping
possible. On 32 kernels we don't have this luxury.
Scripts is _slightly_ smarter than a straight grep, we check for false
positives (all 0's or all 1's, and vsyscall start/finish addresses).
[ I think there is a lot of room for improvement here, but it's already
useful, so I'm merging it as-is. The whole "hash %p format" series is
expected to go into 4.15, but will not fix %x users, and will not
incentivize people to look at what they are leaking. - Linus ]

For WMI operations that are only Set or Query readable and writable sysfs
attributes created by WMI vendor drivers or the bus driver makes sense.
For other WMI operations that are run on Method, there needs to be a
way to guarantee to userspace that the results from the method call
belong to the data request to the method call. Sysfs attributes don't
work well in this scenario because two userspace processes may be
competing at reading/writing an attribute and step on each other's
data.
When a WMI vendor driver declares a callback method in the wmi_driver
the WMI bus driver will create a character device that maps to that
function. This callback method will be responsible for filtering
invalid requests and performing the actual call.
That character device will correspond to this path:
/dev/wmi/$driver
Performing read() on this character device will provide the size
of the buffer that the character device needs to perform calls.
This buffer size can be set by vendor drivers through a new symbol
or when MOF parsing is available by the MOF.
Performing ioctl() on this character device will be interpretd
by the WMI bus driver. It will perform sanity tests for size of
data, test them for a valid instance, copy the data from userspace
and pass iton to the vendor driver to further process and run.
This creates an implicit policy that each driver will only be allowed
a single character device. If a module matches multiple GUID's,
the wmi_devices will need to be all handled by the same wmi_driver.
The WMI vendor drivers will be responsible for managing inappropriate
access to this character device and proper locking on data used by
it.
When a WMI vendor driver is unloaded the WMI bus driver will clean
up the character device and any memory allocated for the call.

The dell-smbios stack only currently uses an SMI interface which grants
direct access to physical memory to the firmware SMM methods via a pointer.
This dispatcher driver adds a WMI-ACPI interface that is detected by WMI
probe and preferred over the SMI interface in dell-smbios.
Changing this to operate over WMI-ACPI will use an ACPI OperationRegion
for a buffer of data storage when SMM calls are performed.
This is a safer approach to use in kernel drivers as the SMM will
only have access to that OperationRegion.

This splits up the dell-smbios driver into two drivers:
* dell-smbios
* dell-smbios-smm
dell-smbios can operate with multiple different dispatcher drivers to
perform SMBIOS operations.
Also modify the interface that dell-laptop and dell-wmi use align to this
model more closely. Rather than a single global buffer being allocated
for all drivers, each driver will allocate and be responsible for it's own
buffer. The pointer will be passed to the calling function and each
dispatcher driver will then internally copy it to the proper location to
perform it's call.
Add defines for calls used by these methods in the dell-smbios.h header
for tracking purposes.
