Kernel source files need not include <linux/kconfig.h> explicitly
because the top Makefile forces to include it with:
-include $(srctree)/include/linux/kconfig.h
This commit removes explicit includes except the following:
* arch/s390/include/asm/facilities_src.h
* tools/testing/radix-tree/linux/kernel.h
These two are used for host programs.

There are four cases I can see where we could end up with a NULL 'slot' in
radix_tree_next_slot(). This unit test exercises all four of them, making
sure that if in the future we have an unsafe path through
radix_tree_next_slot(), we'll catch it.
Here are details on the four cases:
1) radix_tree_iter_retry() via a non-tagged iteration like
radix_tree_for_each_slot(). In this case we currently aren't seeing a bug
because radix_tree_iter_retry() sets
iter->next_index = iter->index;
which means that in in the else case in radix_tree_next_slot(), 'count' is
zero, so we skip over the while() loop and effectively just return NULL
without ever dereferencing 'slot'.
2) radix_tree_iter_retry() via tagged iteration like
radix_tree_for_each_tagged(). This case was giving us NULL pointer
dereferences in testing, and was fixed with this commit:
commit 3cb9185c6730 ("radix-tree: fix radix_tree_iter_retry() for tagged
iterators.")
This fix doesn't explicitly check for 'slot' being NULL, though, it works
around the NULL pointer dereference by instead zeroing iter->tags in
radix_tree_iter_retry(), which makes us bail out of the if() case in
radix_tree_next_slot() before we dereference 'slot'.
3) radix_tree_iter_next() via via a non-tagged iteration like
radix_tree_for_each_slot(). This currently happens in shmem_tag_pins()
and shmem_partial_swap_usage().
As with non-tagged iteration, 'count' in the else case of
radix_tree_next_slot() is zero, so we skip over the while() loop and
effectively just return NULL without ever dereferencing 'slot'.
4) radix_tree_iter_next() via tagged iteration like
radix_tree_for_each_tagged(). This happens in shmem_wait_for_pins().
radix_tree_iter_next() zeros out iter->tags, so we end up exiting
radix_tree_next_slot() here:
if (flags & RADIX_TREE_ITER_TAGGED) {
void *canon = slot;
iter->tags >>= 1;
if (unlikely(!iter->tags))
return NULL;

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"Aside from the recently added pmem sub-division support these have
been in -next for several releases with no reported issues. The sub-
division support was included in next-20161010 with no reported
issues. It passes all unit tests including new tests for all the new
functionality below.
Summary:
- PMEM sub-division support: Allow a single PMEM region to be divided
into multiple namespaces. Originally, ~2 years ago, it was thought
that partitions of a /dev/pmemX block device could handle
sub-allocations of persistent memory for different use cases. With
the decision to not support DAX mappings of raw block-devices, and
the genesis of device-dax, the need for having multiple
pmem-namespace per region has grown.
- Device-DAX unified inode: In support of dynamic-resizing of a
device-dax instance the kernel arranges for all mappings of a
device-dax node to share the same inode. This allows unmap /
truncate / invalidation events to affect all instances of the
device similar to the behavior of mmap on block devices.
- Hardware error scrubbing reworks: The original address-range-scrub
and badblocks tracking solution allowed clearing entries at the
individual namespace level, but it failed to clear the internal
list of media errors maintained at the bus level. The result was
that the next scrub or namespace disable/re-enable event would
restore the cleared badblocks, but now that is fixed. The v4.8
kernel introduced an auto-scrub-on-machine-check behavior to
repopulate the badblocks list. Now, in v4.9, the auto-scrub
behavior can be disabled and simply arrange for the error reported
in the machine-check to be added to the list.
- DIMM health-event notification support: ACPI 6.1 defines a
notification event code that can be send to ACPI NVDIMM devices. A
poll(2) capable file descriptor for these events can be obtained
from the nmemX/nfit/flags sysfs-attribute of a libnvdimm memory
device.
- Miscellaneous fixes: NVDIMM-N probe error, device-dax build error,
and a change to dedup the flush hint list to not flush the memory
controller more than necessary"

"This set of changes is a number of smaller things that have been
overlooked in other development cycles focused on more fundamental
change. The devpts changes are small things that were a distraction
until we managed to kill off DEVPTS_MULTPLE_INSTANCES. There is an
trivial regression fix to autofs for the unprivileged mount changes
that went in last cycle. A pair of ioctls has been added by Andrey
Vagin making it is possible to discover the relationships between
namespaces when referring to them through file descriptors.
The big user visible change is starting to add simple resource limits
to catch programs that misbehave. With namespaces in general and user
namespaces in particular allowing users to use more kinds of
resources, it has become important to have something to limit errant
programs. Because the purpose of these limits is to catch errant
programs the code needs to be inexpensive to use as it always on, and
the default limits need to be high enough that well behaved programs
on well behaved systems don't encounter them.
To this end, after some review I have implemented per user per user
namespace limits, and use them to limit the number of namespaces. The
limits being per user mean that one user can not exhause the limits of
another user. The limits being per user namespace allow contexts where
the limit is 0 and security conscious folks can remove from their
threat anlysis the code used to manage namespaces (as they have
historically done as it root only). At the same time the limits being
per user namespace allow other parts of the system to use namespaces.
Namespaces are increasingly being used in application sand boxing
scenarios so an all or nothing disable for the entire system for the
security conscious folks makes increasing use of these sandboxes
impossible.
There is also added a limit on the maximum number of mounts present in
a single mount namespace. It is nontrivial to guess what a reasonable
system wide limit on the number of mount structure in the kernel would
be, especially as it various based on how a system is using
containers. A limit on the number of mounts in a mount namespace
however is much easier to understand and set. In most cases in
practice only about 1000 mounts are used. Given that some autofs
scenarious have the potential to be 30,000 to 50,000 mounts I have set
the default limit for the number of mounts at 100,000 which is well
above every known set of users but low enough that the mount hash
tables don't degrade unreaonsably.
These limits are a start. I expect this estabilishes a pattern that
other limits for resources that namespaces use will follow. There has
been interest in making inotify event limits per user per user
namespace as well as interest expressed in making details about what
is going on in the kernel more visible"

The changes to make EXPORT_SYMBOL work in asm, specifically commit
9445aa1a3062 ("ppc: move exports to definitions"), in the kbuild tree,
breaks some of our selftests.
That is because we symlink the kernel code into the selftest, and shim
the required headers, and we are now missing asm/export.h
So create a minimal export.h to keep the tests building once powerpc and
the kbuild trees are merged.

There is a existing tip as below.
If you have debuginfo enabled, try: perf report -s sym,srcline
However this tip only describe a condition to use --sort sym,scrline
options. So there is lack of explanation in the tip. I think that it
would be better to add a tip that exactly explains the feature of --sort
srcline.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging
Pull staging and IIO updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big staging and IIO driver pull request for 4.9-rc1.
There are a lot of patches in here, the majority due to the
drivers/staging/greybus/ subsystem being merged in with full
development history that went back a few years, in order to preserve
the work that those developers did over time.
Lots and lots of tiny cleanups happened in the tree as well, due to
the Outreachy application process and lots of other developers showing
up for the first time to clean code up. Along with those changes, we
deleted a wireless driver, and added a raspberrypi driver (currently
marked broken), and lots of new iio drivers.
Overall the tree still shrunk with more lines removed than added,
about 10 thousand lines removed in total. Full details are in the very
long shortlog below.
All of this has been in the linux-next tree with no issues. There will
be some merge problems with other subsystem trees, but those are all
minor problems and shouldn't be hard to work out when they happen
(MAINTAINERS and some lustre build problems with the IB tree)"
And furter from me asking for clarification about greybus:
"Right now there is a phone from Motorola shipping with this code (a
slightly older version, but the same tree), so even though Ara is not
alive in the same form, the functionality is happening. We are working
with the developers of that phone to merge the newer stuff in with
their fork so they can use the upstream version in future versions of
their phone product line.
Toshiba has at least one chip shipping in their catalog that
needs/uses this protocol over a Unipro link, and rumor has it that
there might be more in the future.
There are also other users of the greybus protocols, there is a talk
next week at ELC that shows how it is being used across a network
connection to control a device, and previous ELC talks have showed the
protocol stack being used over USB to drive embedded Linux boards.
I've also talked to some people who are starting to work to add a host
controller driver to control arduinos as the greybus PHY protocols are
very useful to control a serial/i2c/spio/whatever device across a
random physical link, as it is a way to have a self-describing device
be attached to a host without needing manual configuration.
So yes, people are using it, and there is still the chance that it
will show up in a phone/laptop/tablet/whatever from Google in the
future as well, the tech isn't dead, even if the original large phone
project happens to be"

The MTC packet provides a 8-bit slice of CTC which is related to TSC by
the TMA packet, however the TMA packet only provides the lower 16 bits
of CTC. If mtc_shift > 8 then some of the MTC bits are not in the CTC
provided by the TMA packet. Fix-up the last_mtc calculated from the TMA
packet by copying the missing bits from the current MTC assuming the
least difference between the two, and that the current MTC comes after
last_mtc.

In cycle-accurate mode, timestamps can be calculated from CYC packets.
The decoder also estimates timestamps based on the number of
instructions since the last timestamp. For that to work in
cycle-accurate mode, the instruction count needs to be reset to zero
when a timestamp is calculated from a CYC packet, but that wasn't
happening, so fix it.
