2016-01-08libata: skip debounce delay on link resumeDanesh Petigara
The link resume logic uses a 200msec delay while debouncing the SControl register. The rationale behind that delay is to accommodate some PHYs that behave badly if their SStatus/ SControl registers are pounded immediately on resume. The Broadcom STB SATA PHY does not seem to have this issue. This patch introduces a new link flag that allows platforms to skip the debounce delay if it isn't needed.

2016-01-07ftrace/module: Call clean up function when module init fails earlySteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
If the module init code fails after calling ftrace_module_init() and before calling do_init_module(), we can suffer from a memory leak. This is because ftrace_module_init() allocates pages to store the locations that ftrace hooks are placed in the module text. If do_init_module() fails, it still calls the MODULE_GOING notifiers which will tell ftrace to do a clean up of the pages it allocated for the module. But if load_module() fails before then, the pages allocated by ftrace_module_init() will never be freed. Call ftrace_release_mod() on the module if load_module() fails before getting to do_init_module().

2016-01-07driver-core: platform: Add platform_irq_count()Stephen Boyd
A recent patch added calls to of_irq_count() in the qcom pinctrl drivers and that caused module build failures because of_irq_count() is not an exported symbol. We shouldn't export of_irq_count() to modules because it's an internal OF API that shouldn't be used by drivers. Platform drivers should use platform device APIs instead. Therefore, add a platform_irq_count() API that mirrors the of_irq_count() API so that platform drivers can stay DT agnostic.

But, say, : select_bad_process() can happily find a sub-thread of is_global_init() : and still kill it.

2016-01-04configfs: implement binary attributesPantelis Antoniou
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.
