Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The new feaures here are the support for ACPI overlays (allowing ACPI
  tables to be loaded at any time from EFI variables or via configfs)
  and the LPI (Low-Power Idle) support.  Also notable is the ACPI-based
  NUMA support for ARM64.

  Apart from that we have two new drivers, for the DPTF (Dynamic Power
  and Thermal Framework) power participant device and for the Intel
  Broxton WhiskeyCove PMIC, some more PMIC-related changes, support for
  the Boot Error Record Table (BERT) in APEI and support for
  platform-initiated graceful shutdown.

Pull power management updates from Rafael  Wysocki:
 "Again, the majority of changes go into the cpufreq subsystem, but
  there are no big features this time.  The cpufreq changes that stand
  out somewhat are the governor interface rework and improvements
  related to the handling of frequency tables.  Apart from those, there
  are fixes and new device/CPU IDs in drivers, cleanups and an
  improvement of the new schedutil governor.

  Next, there are some changes in the hibernation core, including a fix
  for a nasty problem related to the MONITOR/MWAIT usage by CPU offline
  during resume from hibernation, a few core improvements related to
  memory management during resume, a couple of additional debug features
  and cleanups.

  Finally, we have some fixes and cleanups in the devfreq subsystem,
  generic power domains framework improvements related to system
  suspend/resume, support for some new chips in intel_idle and in the
  power capping RAPL driver, a new version of the AnalyzeSuspend utility
  and some assorted fixes and cleanups.

3fc9d69093 Merge branch 'for-4.8/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This branch also contains core changes.  I've come to the conclusion
  that from 4.9 and forward, I'll be doing just a single branch.  We
  often have dependencies between core and drivers, and it's hard to
  always split them up appropriately without pulling core into drivers
  when that happens.

  That said, this contains:

   - separate secure erase type for the core block layer, from
     Christoph.

   - set of discard fixes, from Christoph.

   - bio shrinking fixes from Christoph, as a followup up to the

0f776dc377 Some big changes this month, headlined by the addition of a new formatted
documentation mechanism based on the Sphinx system.  The objectives here
 are to make it easier to create better-integrated (and more attractive)
 documents while (eventually) dumping our one-of-a-kind, cobbled-together
 system for something that is widely used and maintained by others.  There's
 a fair amount of information what's being done, why, and how to use it in:
 
   https://lwn.net/Articles/692704/
   https://lwn.net/Articles/692705/
 
 Closer to home, Documentation/kernel-documentation.rst describes how it
 works.
 
 For now, the new system exists alongside the old one; you should soon see
 the GPU documentation converted over in the DRM pull and some significant
 media conversion work as well.  Once all the docs have been moved over and
 we're convinced that the rough edges (of which are are a few) have been
 smoothed over, the DocBook-based stuff should go away.
 
 Primary credit is to Jani Nikula for doing the heavy lifting to make this
 stuff actually work; there has also been notable effort from Markus Heiser,
 Daniel Vetter, and Mauro Carvalho Chehab.
 
 Expect a couple of conflicts on the new index.rst file over the course of
 the merge window; they are trivially resolvable.  That file may be a bit of
 a conflict magnet in the short term, but I don't expect that situation to
 last for any real length of time.
 
 Beyond that, of course, we have the usual collection of tweaks, updates,
 and typo fixes.

Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
 "There are a couple of new things for s390 with this merge request:

   - a new scheduling domain "drawer" is added to reflect the unusual
     topology found on z13 machines.  Performance tests showed up to 8
     percent gain with the additional domain.

   - the new crc-32 checksum crypto module uses the vector-galois-field
     multiply and sum SIMD instruction to speed up crc-32 and crc-32c.

   - proper __ro_after_init support, this requires RO_AFTER_INIT_DATA in
     the generic vmlinux.lds linker script definitions.

   - kcov instrumentation support.  A prerequisite for that is the
     inline assembly basic block cleanup, which is the reason for the
     net/iucv/iucv.c change.

   - support for 2GB pages is added to the hugetlbfs backend.

  Then there are two removals:

   - the oprofile hardware sampling support is dead code and is removed.
     The oprofile user space uses the perf interface nowadays.

   - the ETR clock synchronization is removed, this has been superseeded
     be the STP clock synchronization.  And it always has been
     "interesting" code..

da7d3abe1c Revert "cpufreq: pcc-cpufreq: update default value of cpuinfo_transition_latency"
This reverts commit 790d849bf8.

Using a v4.7-rc7 kernel on a HP ProLiant triggered following messages

 pcc-cpufreq: (v1.10.00) driver loaded with frequency limits: 1200 MHz, 2800 MHz
 cpufreq: ondemand governor failed, too long transition latency of HW, fallback to performance governor

The last line was shown for each CPU in the system.
Testing v4.5 (where commit 790d849b was integrated) triggered
similar messages. Same behaviour on a 2nd HP Proliant system.

So commit 790d849bf (cpufreq: pcc-cpufreq: update default value of
cpuinfo_transition_latency) causes the system to use performance
governor which, I guess, was not the intention of the patch.

Enabling debug output in pcc-cpufreq provides following verbose output:

 pcc-cpufreq: (v1.10.00) driver loaded with frequency limits: 1200 MHz, 2800 MHz
 pcc_get_offset: for CPU 0: pcc_cpu_data input_offset: 0x44, pcc_cpu_data output_offset: 0x48
 init: policy->max is 2800000, policy->min is 1200000
 get: get_freq for CPU 0
 get: SUCCESS: (virtual) output_offset for cpu 0 is 0xffffc9000d7c0048, contains a value of: 0xff06. Speed is: 168000 MHz
 cpufreq: ondemand governor failed, too long transition latency of HW, fallback to performance governor
 target: CPU 0 should go to target freq: 2800000 (virtual) input_offset is 0xffffc9000d7c0044
 target: was SUCCESSFUL for cpu 0

I am asking to revert 790d849bf to re-enable usage of ondemand
governor with pcc-cpufreq.

since it's one of those files that people expect to find.  But we can add a
warning and fix all the other pointers to it.

47d6d752b9 doc/sphinx: Enable keep_warnings
Unfortunately warnings generated after parsing in sphinx can end up
with entirely bogus files and line numbers as sources. Strangely for
outright errors this is not a problem. Trying to convert warnings to
errors also doesn't fix it.

The only way to get useful output out of sphinx to be able to root
cause the error seems to be enabling keep_warnings, which inserts
a System Message into the actual output. Not pretty at all, but I
don't really want to fix up core rst/sphinx code, and this gets the job
done meanwhile.

The python implementation of radix tree was merged at the same time as a
refactoring of the radix tree implementation and doesn't work.  The
feature is being reverted, thus we revert the documentation as well.

6c71ee3b61 Third set of IIO new device support, features and cleanups for the 4.8 cycle.
New core features
 - Selection of the clock source for IIO timestamps.  This is done per device
   as it makes little sense to have events in one timebase and data timestamped
   on another.  Biggest reason for this is that we currently use a clock
   source which is non monotonic which can result in 'interesting' data sets.
   (Includes export for get_monotonic_corse64 which Thomas Gleixner didn't mind
    in an earlier version.)
 - MAINTAINERS add the git tree to the list for IIO.
 
 New device support + a kind of indirect staging graduation.
 * Broadcom iproc-static-adc
   - new driver
 * mcp4531
   - support for MCP454x, MCP456x, MCP464x and MCP466x potentiometers
 * mpu6050
   - support the IC20608 6 axis motion tracking device
 * st-sensors
   - support the lis3l02dq + drop the lis3l02dq driver from staging.
   The general purpose driver is missing event support, but good to get
   rid of this driver which was rather long in the tooth.
 
 New driver features
 * ak8975
   - Add vid regulator support and refactor handling in general.
   - Allow a delay after enabling regulators.
   - Runtime and system PM.
 * bmg160
   - filter frequency control support.
 * bmp280
   - SPI device support.
   - EOC interrupt support for the BMP085
   - power management support.
   - supply regulator support.
   - reset gpio support
   - dt bindings for reset gpio and regulators.
   - of table to support device tree registration
 * max1363
   - Device tree bindings.
 * mcp4531
   - Device tree bindings.
 * st-pressure
   - temperature channels as part of triggered buffer (previously not due
   probably to alignment issues - see below).
   - lps22hb open drain interrupt support.
   - lps22hb temperature channel support
 
 Cleanups and reworkings.
 * numerous ADC drivers
   - ensure the iio_dev->dev.of_node is set to the parent dev.of_node so
   as to allow client bindings to find the device.
 * ak8975
   - Fix incorrect handling of missing regulator
   - make sure power is down and remove.
 * bmp280
   - read the calibration data only once as it doesn't change.
 * isl29125
   - Use a few macros to make code a touch more readable.
 * mma8452
   - fix a memory leak on error.
   - drop an unecessary bit of return value handling.
 * potentiometer kconfig
   - typo fix.
 * st-pressure
   - drop some uninformative default assignments of elements of the channel
   array structure (aids readability).
 * st-sensors
   - Harden interrupt handling considerably.  These are actually all using
   level interrupts, but at least two known boards have them wired to
   edge only interrupt chips.  Hence a slightly interesting bit of handling
   is needed in which we first allow for the easy option (level triggered) and
   secondly check the status registers before reenabling edge interrupts and
   fall back to a tight loop in the thread until we successfully clear the
   interrupt.  No harm is done if we never succeed in doing so.  It's an odd
   patch that has been through a lot of revisions to reach a consensus on how
   to handle what is basically broken hardware (which the previous defaults
   allowed to kind of work).
   - Fix alignment to defined storagebytes boundaries.
   - Ensure alignment of power of 2 byte boundaries.  This has always in theory
   been part of the ABI of IIO, but we missed a few that snuck in that need
   fixing.  The effect was minor as they were only followed by timestamp
   channels which were correctly aligned,
   - Add some docs to explain the gain calculations.

4c0b6c10fb PM / hibernate: Image data protection during restoration
Make it possible to protect all pages holding image data during
hibernate image restoration by setting them read-only (so as to
catch attempts to write to those pages after image data have been
stored in them).

This adds overhead to image restoration code (it may cause large
page mappings to be split as a result of page flags changes) and
the errors it protects against should never happen in theory, so
the feature is only active after passing hibernate=protect_image
to the command line of the restore kernel.

Also it only is built if CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set.

475fb4e8b2 efi / ACPI: load SSTDs from EFI variables
This patch allows SSDTs to be loaded from EFI variables. It works by
specifying the EFI variable name containing the SSDT to be loaded. All
variables with the same name (regardless of the vendor GUID) will be
loaded.

Note that we can't use acpi_install_table and we must rely on the
dynamic ACPI table loading and bus re-scanning mechanisms. That is
because I2C/SPI controllers are initialized earlier then the EFI
subsystems and all I2C/SPI ACPI devices are enumerated when the
I2C/SPI controllers are initialized.
