max_ptes_swap specifies how many pages can be brought in from swap when
collapsing a group of pages into a transparent huge page.
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/max_ptes_swap
A higher value can cause excessive swap IO and waste memory. A lower
value can prevent THPs from being collapsed, resulting fewer pages being
collapsed into THPs, and lower memory access performance.

Currently there's no easy way to get per-process usage of hugetlb pages,
which is inconvenient because userspace applications which use hugetlb
typically want to control their processes on the basis of how much memory
(including hugetlb) they use. So this patch simply provides easy access
to the info via /proc/PID/status.

Currently /proc/PID/smaps provides no usage info for vma(VM_HUGETLB),
which is inconvenient when we want to know per-task or per-vma base
hugetlb usage. To solve this, this patch adds new fields for hugetlb
usage like below:

The only way to enable a hardlockup to panic the machine is to set
'nmi_watchdog=panic' on the kernel command line.
This makes it awkward for end users and folks who want to run automate
tests (like myself).
Mimic the softlockup_panic knob and create a /proc/sys/kernel/hardlockup_panic
knob.

In many cases of hardlockup reports, it's actually not possible to know
why it triggered, because the CPU that got stuck is usually waiting on a
resource (with IRQs disabled) in posession of some other CPU is holding.
IOW, we are often looking at the stacktrace of the victim and not the
actual offender.
Introduce sysctl / cmdline parameter that makes it possible to have
hardlockup detector perform all-CPU backtrace.

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"Quite a new features are included this time.
First off, the Collaborative Processor Performance Control interface
(version 2) defined by ACPI will now be supported on ARM64 along with
a cpufreq frontend for CPU performance scaling.
Second, ACPI gets a new infrastructure for the early probing of IRQ
chips and clock sources (along the lines of the existing similar
mechanism for DT).
Next, the ACPI core and the generic device properties API will now
support a recently introduced hierarchical properties extension of the
_DSD (Device Specific Data) ACPI device configuration object. If the
ACPI platform firmware uses that extension to organize device
properties in a hierarchical way, the kernel will automatically handle
it and make those properties available to device drivers via the
generic device properties API.
It also will be possible to build the ACPICA's AML interpreter
debugger into the kernel now and use that to diagnose AML-related
problems more efficiently. In the future, this should make it
possible to single-step AML execution and do similar things.
Interesting stuff, although somewhat experimental at this point.
Finally, the PM core gets a new mechanism that can be used by device
drivers to distinguish between suspend-to-RAM (based on platform
firmware support) and suspend-to-idle (or other variants of system
suspend the platform firmware is not involved in) and possibly
optimize their device suspend/resume handling accordingly.
In addition to that, some existing features are re-organized quite
substantially.
First, the ACPI-based handling of PCI host bridges on x86 and ia64 is
unified and the common code goes into the ACPI core (so as to reduce
code duplication and eliminate non-essential differences between the
two architectures in that area).
Second, the Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework is
reorganized to make the code easier to find and follow.
Next, the cpufreq core's sysfs interface is reorganized to get rid of
the "primary CPU" concept for configurations in which the same
performance scaling settings are shared between multiple CPUs.
Finally, some interfaces that aren't necessary any more are dropped
from the generic power domains framework.
On top of the above we have some minor extensions, cleanups and bug
fixes in multiple places, as usual.
Specifics:
- ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150930 (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng).
The most significant change is to allow the AML debugger to be
built into the kernel. On top of that there is an update related
to the NFIT table (the ACPI persistent memory interface) and a few
fixes and cleanups.
- ACPI CPPC2 (Collaborative Processor Performance Control v2) support
along with a cpufreq frontend (Ashwin Chaugule).
This can only be enabled on ARM64 at this point.
- New ACPI infrastructure for the early probing of IRQ chips and
clock sources (Marc Zyngier).
- Support for a new hierarchical properties extension of the ACPI
_DSD (Device Specific Data) device configuration object allowing
the kernel to handle hierarchical properties (provided by the
platform firmware this way) automatically and make them available
to device drivers via the generic device properties interface
(Rafael Wysocki).
- Generic device properties API extension to obtain an index of
certain string value in an array of strings, along the lines of
of_property_match_string(), but working for all of the supported
firmware node types, and support for the "dma-names" device
property based on it (Mika Westerberg).
- ACPI core fix to parse the MADT (Multiple APIC Description Table)
entries in the order expected by platform firmware (and mandated by
the specification) to avoid confusion on systems with more than 255
logical CPUs (Lukasz Anaczkowski).
- Consolidation of the ACPI-based handling of PCI host bridges on x86
and ia64 (Jiang Liu).
- ACPI core fixes to ensure that the correct IRQ number is used to
represent the SCI (System Control Interrupt) in the cases when it
has been re-mapped (Chen Yu).
- New ACPI backlight quirk for Lenovo IdeaPad S405 (Hans de Goede).
- ACPI EC driver fixes (Lv Zheng).
- Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter, Insu Yun, Jiri
Kosina, Rami Rosen, Rasmus Villemoes).
- New mechanism in the PM core allowing drivers to check if the
platform firmware is going to be involved in the upcoming system
suspend or if it has been involved in the suspend the system is
resuming from at the moment (Rafael Wysocki).
This should allow drivers to optimize their suspend/resume handling
in some cases and the changes include a couple of users of it (the
i8042 input driver, PCI PM).
- PCI PM fix to prevent runtime-suspended devices with PME enabled
from being resumed during system suspend even if they aren't
configured to wake up the system from sleep (Rafael Wysocki).
- New mechanism to report the number of a wakeup IRQ that woke up the
system from sleep last time (Alexandra Yates).
- Removal of unused interfaces from the generic power domains
framework and fixes related to latency measurements in that code
(Ulf Hansson, Daniel Lezcano).
- cpufreq core sysfs interface rework to make it handle CPUs that
share performance scaling settings (represented by a common cpufreq
policy object) more symmetrically (Viresh Kumar).
This should help to simplify the CPU offline/online handling among
other things.
- cpufreq core fixes and cleanups (Viresh Kumar).
- intel_pstate fixes related to the Turbo Activation Ratio (TAR)
mechanism on client platforms which causes the turbo P-states range
to vary depending on platform firmware settings (Srinivas
Pandruvada).
- intel_pstate sysfs interface fix (Prarit Bhargava).
- Assorted cpufreq driver (imx, tegra20, powernv, integrator) fixes
and cleanups (Bai Ping, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz, Shilpasri G
Bhat, Luis de Bethencourt).
- cpuidle mvebu driver cleanups (Russell King).
- OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework code reorganization to
make it more maintainable (Viresh Kumar).
- Intel Broxton support for the RAPL (Running Average Power Limits)
power capping driver (Amy Wiles).
- Assorted power management code fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter,
Geert Uytterhoeven, Geliang Tang, Luis de Bethencourt, Rasmus
Villemoes)"

This seems to be a mis-reading of how alpha memory ordering works, and
is not backed up by the alpha architecture manual. The helper functions
don't do anything special on any other architectures, and the arguments
that support them being safe on other architectures also argue that they
are safe on alpha.
Basically, the "control dependency" is between a previous read and a
subsequent write that is dependent on the value read. Even if the
subsequent write is actually done speculatively, there is no way that
such a speculative write could be made visible to other cpu's until it
has been committed, which requires validating the speculation.
Note that most weakely ordered architectures (very much including alpha)
do not guarantee any ordering relationship between two loads that depend
on each other on a control dependency:
read A
if (val == 1)
read B
because the conditional may be predicted, and the "read B" may be
speculatively moved up to before reading the value A. So we require the
user to insert a smp_rmb() between the two accesses to be correct:
read A;
if (A == 1)
smp_rmb()
read B
Alpha is further special in that it can break that ordering even if the
*address* of B depends on the read of A, because the cacheline that is
read later may be stale unless you have a memory barrier in between the
pointer read and the read of the value behind a pointer:
read ptr
read offset(ptr)
whereas all other weakly ordered architectures guarantee that the data
dependency (as opposed to just a control dependency) will order the two
accesses. As a result, alpha needs a "smp_read_barrier_depends()" in
between those two reads for them to be ordered.
The coontrol dependency that "READ_ONCE_CTRL()" and "atomic_read_ctrl()"
had was a control dependency to a subsequent *write*, however, and
nobody can finalize such a subsequent write without having actually done
the read. And were you to write such a value to a "stale" cacheline
(the way the unordered reads came to be), that would seem to lose the
write entirely.
So the things that make alpha able to re-order reads even more
aggressively than other weak architectures do not seem to be relevant
for a subsequent write. Alpha memory ordering may be strange, but
there's no real indication that it is *that* strange.
Also, the alpha architecture reference manual very explicitly talks
about the definition of "Dependence Constraints" in section 5.6.1.7,
where a preceding read dominates a subsequent write.
Such a dependence constraint admittedly does not impose a BEFORE (alpha
architecture term for globally visible ordering), but it does guarantee
that there can be no "causal loop". I don't see how you could avoid
such a loop if another cpu could see the stored value and then impact
the value of the first read. Put another way: the read and the write
could not be seen as being out of order wrt other cpus.
So I do not see how these "x_ctrl()" functions can currently be necessary.
I may have to eat my words at some point, but in the absense of clear
proof that alpha actually needs this, or indeed even an explanation of
how alpha could _possibly_ need it, I do not believe these functions are
called for.
And if it turns out that alpha really _does_ need a barrier for this
case, that barrier still should not be "smp_read_barrier_depends()".
We'd have to make up some new speciality barrier just for alpha, along
with the documentation for why it really is necessary.

This patch adds device tree support for the netxbig LEDs.
This also introduces a additionnal DT binding for the GPIO extension bus
(netxbig-gpio-ext) used to configure the LEDs. Since this bus could also
be used to control other devices, then it seems more suitable to have it
in a separate DT binding.

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
"Here is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.4 development cycle.
The only changes hitting outside drivers/gpio are in the pin control
subsystem and these seem to have settled nicely in linux-next.
Development mistakes and catfights are nicely documented in the
reverts as you can see. The outcome of the ABI fight is that we're
working on a chardev ABI for GPIO now, where hope to show results for
the v4.5 kernel.
Summary of changes:
GPIO core:
- Define and handle flags for open drain/open collector and open
source/open emitter, also know as "single-ended" configurations.
- Generic request/free operations that handle calling out to the
(optional) pin control backend.
- Some refactoring related to an ABI change that did not happen, yet
provide useful.
- Added a real-time compliance checklist. Many GPIO chips have
irqchips, and need to think this over with the RT patches going
upstream.
- Restructure, fix and clean up Kconfig menus a bit.
New drivers:
- New driver for AMD Promony.
- New driver for ACCES 104-IDIO-16, a port-mapped I/O card,
ISA-style. Very retro.
Subdriver changes:
- OMAP changes to handle real time requirements.
- Handle trigger types for edge and level IRQs on PL061 properly. As
this hardware is very common it needs to set a proper example for
others to follow.
- Some container_of() cleanups.
- Delete the unused MSM driver in favor of the driver that is
embedded inside the pin control driver.
- Cleanup of the ath79 GPIO driver used by many, many OpenWRT router
targets.
- A consolidated IT87xx driver replacing the earlier very specific
IT8761e driver.
- Handle the TI TCA9539 in the PCA953x driver. Also handle ACPI
devices in this subdriver.
- Drop xilinx arch dependencies as these FPGAs seem to profilate over
a few different architectures. MIPS and ARM come to mind"

Pull pin control updates from Linus Walleij:
"This is the big bulk of pin control changes for the v4.4 kernel
development cycle. Development pace is high in pin control again this
merge window. 28 contributors, 83 patches.
It hits a few sites outside the pin control subsystem:
- Device tree bindings in Documentation (as usual)
- MAINTAINERS
- drivers/base/* for the "init" state handling by Doug Anderson.
This has been ACKed by Greg.
- drivers/usb/renesas_usbhs/rcar2.c, for a dependent Renesas change
in the USB subsystem. This has been ACKed by both Greg and Felipe.
- arch/arm/boot/dts/sama5d2.dtsi - this should ideally have gone
through the ARM SoC tree but ended up here.
This time I am using Geert Uytterhoeven as submaintainer for SH PFC
since the are three-four people working in parallel with new Renesas
ASICs.
Summary of changes:
Infrastructure:
- Doug Anderson wrote a patch adding an "init" state different from
the "default" state for pin control state handling in the core
framework. This is applied before the driver's probe() call if
defined and takes precedence over "default". If both are defined,
"init" will be applied *before* probe() and "default" will be
applied *after* probe().
Significant subdriver improvements:
- SH PFC is switched to getting GPIO ranges from the device tree
ranges property on DT platforms.
- Got rid of CONFIG_ARCH_SHMOBILE_LEGACY, we are all modernized.
- Got rid of SH PFC hardcoded IRQ numbers.
- Allwinner sunxi external interrupt through the "r" controller.
- Moved the Cygnus driver to use DT-provided GPIO ranges.
New drivers:
- Atmel PIO4 pin controller for the SAMA4D2 family
New subdrivers:
- Rockchip RK3036 subdriver
- Renesas SH PFC R8A7795 subdriver
- Allwinner sunxi A83T PIO subdriver
- Freescale i.MX7d iomux lpsr subdriver
- Marvell Berlin BG4CT subdriver
- SiRF Atlas 7 step B SoC subdriver
- Intel Broxton SoC subdriver
Apart from this, the usual slew if syntactic and semantic fixes"

Steffen Klassert says:
====================
pull request (net-next): ipsec-next 2015-10-30
1) The flow cache is limited by the flow cache limit which
depends on the number of cpus and the xfrm garbage collector
threshold which is independent of the number of cpus. This
leads to the fact that on systems with more than 16 cpus
we hit the xfrm garbage collector limit and refuse new
allocations, so new flows are dropped. On systems with 16
or less cpus, we hit the flowcache limit. In this case, we
shrink the flow cache instead of refusing new flows.
We increase the xfrm garbage collector threshold to INT_MAX
to get the same behaviour, independent of the number of cpus.
2) Fix some unaligned accesses on sparc systems.
From Sowmini Varadhan.
3) Fix some header checks in _decode_session4. We may call
pskb_may_pull with a negative value converted to unsigened
int from pskb_may_pull. This can lead to incorrect policy
lookups. We fix this by a check of the data pointer position
before we call pskb_may_pull.
4) Reload skb header pointers after calling pskb_may_pull
in _decode_session4 as this may change the pointers into
the packet.
5) Add a missing statistic counter on inner mode errors.
Please pull or let me know if there are problems.

Samuel Ortiz says:
====================
NFC 4.4 pull request
This is the NFC pull request for 4.4.
It's a bit bigger than usual, the 3 main culprits being:
- A new driver for Intel's Fields Peak NCI chipset. In order to
support this chipset we had to export a few NCI routines and
extend the driver NCI ops to not only support proprietary
commands but also core ones.
- Support for vendor commands for both STM drivers, st-nci
and st21nfca. Those vendor commands allow to run factory tests
through the NFC netlink interface.
- New i2c and SPI support for the Marvell driver, together with
firmware download support for this driver's core.
Besides that we also have:
- A few file renames in the STM drivers, to keep the naming
consistent between drivers.
- Some improvements and fixes on the NCI HCI layer, mostly to
properly reach a secure element over a legacy HCI link.
- A few fixes for the s3fwrn5 and trf7970a drivers.

Open-channel SSDs are devices that share responsibilities with the host
in order to implement and maintain features that typical SSDs keep
strictly in firmware. These include (i) the Flash Translation Layer
(FTL), (ii) bad block management, and (iii) hardware units such as the
flash controller, the interface controller, and large amounts of flash
chips. In this way, Open-channels SSDs exposes direct access to their
physical flash storage, while keeping a subset of the internal features
of SSDs.
LightNVM is a specification that gives support to Open-channel SSDs
LightNVM allows the host to manage data placement, garbage collection,
and parallelism. Device specific responsibilities such as bad block
management, FTL extensions to support atomic IOs, or metadata
persistence are still handled by the device.
The implementation of LightNVM consists of two parts: core and
(multiple) targets. The core implements functionality shared across
targets. This is initialization, teardown and statistics. The targets
implement the interface that exposes physical flash to user-space
applications. Examples of such targets include key-value store,
object-store, as well as traditional block devices, which can be
application-specific.
