Pull documentation fixes from Jonathan Corbet:
 "So this is my first pull request since I rashly agreed to look after
  the documentation subtree.  It contains some typo fixes, a few minor
  documentation improvements, and, most importantly, fixes for a couple
  of build problems in various bits of sample code.

  I fully intend to start sending pull requests with signed tags.
  However, due to poor planning on my part and the general obnoxiousness
  of life, I'm 2000 miles away from my private key which is sitting on a
  powered-down machine.  This should be fixed before my next request.

  Meanwhile git.lwn.net is a machine under my control, the patches are
  all trivial, and all have done time in linux-next"

e55a336698 Revert "Input: i8042 - disable active multiplexing by default"
This reverts commit 68da166491.

It turns out that the assertion about scope of regressions due to
always keeping keyboard controller in legacy mode was proven wrong.
There are laptops, such as Clevo W650SH, that only have internal
touchpad (no external PS/2 ports), that require active multiplexing
mode to switch the touchpad (Elantech) into native mode instead of
basic PS/2 emulation.

c0fa2373f8 The clk tree changes for 3.18 are dominated by clock drivers. Mostly
fixes and enhancements to existing drivers as well as new drivers. This
 tag contains a bit more arch code than I usually take due to some OMAP2+
 changes. Additionally it contains the restart notifier handlers which
 are merged as a dependency into several trees.
 
 The PXA changes are the only messy part. Due to having a stable tree I
 had to revert one patch and follow up with one more fix near the tip of
 this tag. Some dead code is introduced but it will soon become live code
 after 3.18-rc1 is released as the rest of the PXA family is converted
 over to the common clock framework.
 
 Another trend in this tag is that multiple vendors have started to push
 the complexity of changing their CPU frequency into the clock driver,
 whereas this used to be done in CPUfreq drivers.
 
 Changes to the clk core include a generic gpio-clock type and a
 clk_set_phase() function added to the top-level clk.h api. Due to some
 confusion on the fbdev mailing list the kernel boot parameters
 documentation was updated to further explain the clk_ignore_unused
 parameter, which is often required by users of the simplefb driver.
 Finally some fixes to the locking around the clock debugfs stuff was
 done to prevent deadlocks when interacting with other subsystems.

2d73bae12b powerpc/numa: Add ability to disable and debug topology updates
We have hit a few customer issues with the topology update code (VPHN
and PRRN). It would be nice to be able to debug the notifications coming
from the hypervisor in both cases to the LPAR, as well as to disable
responding to the notifications at boot-time, to narrow down the source
of the problems. Add a basic level of such functionality, similar to the
numa= command-line parameter. We already have a toggle in
/proc/powerpc/topology_updates that allows run-time enabling/disabling,
so the updates can be started at run-time if desired. But the bugs we've
run into have occured during boot or very shortly after coming to login,
and have resulted in a broken NUMA topology.

68da166491 Input: i8042 - disable active multiplexing by default
Active multiplexing is a nice feature as it allows several pointing devices
(such as touchpad and external mouse) use their native protocols at the
same time. Unfortunately many manufacturers do not implement the feature
properly even though they advertise it. The problematic implementations are
never fixed, since Windows by default does not use this mode, and move from
one BIOS/model of laptop to another. When active multiplexing is broken
turning it on usually results in touchpad, keyboard, or both unresponsive.

With PS/2 usage on decline (most of PS/2 devices in use nowadays are
internal laptop touchpads), I expect number of users who have laptops with
working MUX implementation, docking stations with external PS/2 ports, and
who are still using external PS/2 mice, to be rather small. Let's flip the
default to be OFF and allow activating it through i8042.nomux=0 kernel
option.  We'll also keep DMI table where we can record known good models.

b528392669 ACPI and power management updates for 3.18-rc1
- Rework the handling of wakeup IRQs by the IRQ core such that
    all of them will be switched over to "wakeup" mode in
    suspend_device_irqs() and in that mode the first interrupt
    will abort system suspend in progress or wake up the system
    if already in suspend-to-idle (or equivalent) without executing
    any interrupt handlers.  Among other things that eliminates the
    wakeup-related motivation to use the IRQF_NO_SUSPEND interrupt
    flag with interrupts which don't really need it and should not
    use it (Thomas Gleixner and Rafael J Wysocki).
 
  - Switch over ACPI to handling wakeup interrupts with the help
    of the new mechanism introduced by the above IRQ core rework
    (Rafael J Wysocki).
 
  - Rework the core generic PM domains code to eliminate code that's
    not used, add DT support and add a generic mechanism by which
    devices can be added to PM domains automatically during
    enumeration (Ulf Hansson, Geert Uytterhoeven and Tomasz Figa).
 
  - Add debugfs-based mechanics for debugging generic PM domains
    (Maciej Matraszek).
 
  - ACPICA update to upstream version 20140828.  Included are updates
    related to the SRAT and GTDT tables and the _PSx methods are in
    the METHOD_NAME list now (Bob Moore and Hanjun Guo).
 
  - Add _OSI("Darwin") support to the ACPI core (unfortunately, that
    can't really be done in a straightforward way) to prevent
    Thunderbolt from being turned off on Apple systems after boot
    (or after resume from system suspend) and rework the ACPI Smart
    Battery Subsystem (SBS) driver to work correctly with Apple
    platforms (Matthew Garrett and Andreas Noever).
 
  - ACPI LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver update cleaning up the
    code, adding support for 133MHz I2C source clock on Intel Baytrail
    to it and making it avoid using UART RTS override with Auto Flow
    Control (Heikki Krogerus).
 
  - ACPI backlight updates removing the video_set_use_native_backlight
    quirk which is not necessary any more, making the code check the
    list of output devices returned by the _DOD method to avoid
    creating acpi_video interfaces that won't work and adding a quirk
    for Lenovo Ideapad Z570 (Hans de Goede, Aaron Lu and Stepan Bujnak).
 
  - New Win8 ACPI OSI quirks for some Dell laptops (Edward Lin).

Merge tag 'pm+acpi-3.18-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "Features-wise, to me the most important this time is a rework of
  wakeup interrupts handling in the core that makes them work
  consistently across all of the available sleep states, including
  suspend-to-idle.  Many thanks to Thomas Gleixner for his help with
  this work.

  Second is an update of the generic PM domains code that has been in
  need of some care for quite a while.  Unused code is being removed, DT
  support is being added and domains are now going to be attached to
  devices in bus type code in analogy with the ACPI PM domain.  The
  majority of work here was done by Ulf Hansson who also has been the
  most active developer this time.

  Apart from this we have a traditional ACPICA update, this time to
  upstream version 20140828 and a few ACPI wakeup interrupts handling
  patches on top of the general rework mentioned above.  There also are
  several cpufreq commits including renaming the cpufreq-cpu0 driver to
  cpufreq-dt, as this is what implements generic DT-based cpufreq
  support, and a new DT-based idle states infrastructure for cpuidle.

  In addition to that, the ACPI LPSS driver is updated, ACPI support for
  Apple machines is improved, a few bugs are fixed and a few cleanups
  are made all over.

  Finally, the Adaptive Voltage Scaling (AVS) subsystem now has a tree
  maintained by Kevin Hilman that will be merged through the PM tree.

  Numbers-wise, the generic PM domains update takes the lead this time
  with 32 non-merge commits, second is cpufreq (15 commits) and the 3rd
  place goes to the wakeup interrupts handling rework (13 commits).

  Specifics:

   - Rework the handling of wakeup IRQs by the IRQ core such that all of
     them will be switched over to "wakeup" mode in suspend_device_irqs()
     and in that mode the first interrupt will abort system suspend in
     progress or wake up the system if already in suspend-to-idle (or
     equivalent) without executing any interrupt handlers.  Among other
     things that eliminates the wakeup-related motivation to use the
     IRQF_NO_SUSPEND interrupt flag with interrupts which don't really
     need it and should not use it (Thomas Gleixner and Rafael Wysocki)

   - Switch over ACPI to handling wakeup interrupts with the help of the
     new mechanism introduced by the above IRQ core rework (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Rework the core generic PM domains code to eliminate code that's
     not used, add DT support and add a generic mechanism by which
     devices can be added to PM domains automatically during enumeration
     (Ulf Hansson, Geert Uytterhoeven and Tomasz Figa).

   - Add debugfs-based mechanics for debugging generic PM domains
     (Maciej Matraszek).

   - ACPICA update to upstream version 20140828.  Included are updates
     related to the SRAT and GTDT tables and the _PSx methods are in the
     METHOD_NAME list now (Bob Moore and Hanjun Guo).

   - Add _OSI("Darwin") support to the ACPI core (unfortunately, that
     can't really be done in a straightforward way) to prevent
     Thunderbolt from being turned off on Apple systems after boot (or
     after resume from system suspend) and rework the ACPI Smart Battery
     Subsystem (SBS) driver to work correctly with Apple platforms
     (Matthew Garrett and Andreas Noever).

   - ACPI LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver update cleaning up the code,
     adding support for 133MHz I2C source clock on Intel Baytrail to it
     and making it avoid using UART RTS override with Auto Flow Control
     (Heikki Krogerus).

   - ACPI backlight updates removing the video_set_use_native_backlight
     quirk which is not necessary any more, making the code check the
     list of output devices returned by the _DOD method to avoid
     creating acpi_video interfaces that won't work and adding a quirk
     for Lenovo Ideapad Z570 (Hans de Goede, Aaron Lu and Stepan Bujnak)

   - New Win8 ACPI OSI quirks for some Dell laptops (Edward Lin)

   - Assorted ACPI code cleanups (Fabian Frederick, Rasmus Villemoes,
     Sudip Mukherjee, Yijing Wang, and Zhang Rui)

   - cpufreq core updates and cleanups (Viresh Kumar, Preeti U Murthy,
     Rasmus Villemoes)

   - cpufreq driver updates: cpufreq-cpu0/cpufreq-dt (driver name change
     among other things), ppc-corenet, powernv (Viresh Kumar, Preeti U
     Murthy, Shilpasri G Bhat, Lucas Stach)

   - cpuidle support for DT-based idle states infrastructure, new ARM64
     cpuidle driver, cpuidle core cleanups (Lorenzo Pieralisi, Rasmus
     Villemoes)

   - ARM big.LITTLE cpuidle driver updates: support for DT-based
     initialization and Exynos5800 compatible string (Lorenzo Pieralisi,
     Kevin Hilman)

   - Rework of the test_suspend kernel command line argument and a new
     trace event for console resume (Srinivas Pandruvada, Todd E Brandt)

   - Second attempt to optimize swsusp_free() (hibernation core) to make

5a17dae422 efi: Add efi= parameter parsing to the EFI boot stub
We need a way to customize the behaviour of the EFI boot stub, in
particular, we need a way to disable the "chunking" workaround, used
when reading files from the EFI System Partition.

One of my machines doesn't cope well when reading files in 1MB chunks to
a buffer above the 4GB mark - it appears that the "chunking" bug
workaround triggers another firmware bug. This was only discovered with
commit 4bf7111f50 ("x86/efi: Support initrd loaded above 4G"), and
that commit is perfectly valid. The symptom I observed was a corrupt
initrd rather than any kind of crash.

efi= is now used to specify EFI parameters in two very different
execution environments, the EFI boot stub and during kernel boot.

There is also a slight performance optimization by enabling efi=nochunk,
but that's offset by the fact that you're more likely to run into
firmware issues, at least on x86. This is the rationale behind leaving
the workaround enabled by default.

Also provide some documentation for EFI_READ_CHUNK_SIZE and why we're
using the current value of 1MB.

2faa6ef3b2 ima: provide 'ima_appraise=log' kernel option
The kernel boot parameter "ima_appraise" currently defines 'off',
'enforce' and 'fix' modes.  When designing a policy and labeling
the system, access to files are either blocked in the default
'enforce' mode or automatically fixed in the 'fix' mode.  It is
beneficial to be able to run the system in a logging only mode,
without fixing it, in order to properly analyze the system. This
patch adds a 'log' mode to run the system in a permissive mode and
log the appraisal results.

38706bc5a2 rcutorture: Add callback-flood test
Although RCU is designed to handle arbitrary floods of callbacks, this
capability is not routinely tested.   This commit therefore adds a
cbflood capability in which kthreads repeatedly registers large numbers
of callbacks.  One such kthread is created for each four CPUs (rounding
up), and the test may be controlled by several cbflood_* kernel boot
parameters, which control the number of bursts per flood, the number
of callbacks per burst, the time between bursts, and the time between
floods.  The default values are large enough to exercise RCU's emergency
responses to callback flooding.

23b2899f7f printk: allow increasing the ring buffer depending on the number of CPUs
The default size of the ring buffer is too small for machines with a
large amount of CPUs under heavy load.  What ends up happening when
debugging is the ring buffer overlaps and chews up old messages making
debugging impossible unless the size is passed as a kernel parameter.
An idle system upon boot up will on average spew out only about one or
two extra lines but where this really matters is on heavy load and that
will vary widely depending on the system and environment.

There are mechanisms to help increase the kernel ring buffer for tracing
through debugfs, and those interfaces even allow growing the kernel ring
buffer per CPU.  We also have a static value which can be passed upon
boot.  Relying on debugfs however is not ideal for production, and
relying on the value passed upon bootup is can only used *after* an
issue has creeped up.  Instead of being reactive this adds a proactive
measure which lets you scale the amount of contributions you'd expect to
the kernel ring buffer under load by each CPU in the worst case
scenario.

We use num_possible_cpus() to avoid complexities which could be
introduced by dynamically changing the ring buffer size at run time,
num_possible_cpus() lets us use the upper limit on possible number of
CPUs therefore avoiding having to deal with hotplugging CPUs on and off.
This introduces the kernel configuration option LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT
which is used to specify the maximum amount of contributions to the
kernel ring buffer in the worst case before the kernel ring buffer flips
over, the size is specified as a power of 2.  The total amount of
contributions made by each CPU must be greater than half of the default
kernel ring buffer size (1 << LOG_BUF_SHIFT bytes) in order to trigger
an increase upon bootup.  The kernel ring buffer is increased to the
next power of two that would fit the required minimum kernel ring buffer
size plus the additional CPU contribution.  For example if LOG_BUF_SHIFT
is 18 (256 KB) you'd require at least 128 KB contributions by other CPUs
in order to trigger an increase of the kernel ring buffer.  With a
LOG_CPU_BUF_SHIFT of 12 (4 KB) you'd require at least anything over > 64
possible CPUs to trigger an increase.  If you had 128 possible CPUs the
amount of minimum required kernel ring buffer bumps to:

   ((1 << 18) + ((128 - 1) * (1 << 12))) / 1024 = 764 KB

Since we require the ring buffer to be a power of two the new required
size would be 1024 KB.

This CPU contributions are ignored when the "log_buf_len" kernel
parameter is used as it forces the exact size of the ring buffer to an
expected power of two value.

 Thanks to the great work of Kristina Martšenko, 14 different staging
 drivers have been removed from the tree as they were obsolete and no one
 was willing to work on cleaning them up.  Other than the driver
 removals, loads of cleanups are in here (comedi, lustre, etc.) as well
 as the usual IIO driver updates and additions.

b8c0aa46b3 This pull request has a lot of work done. The main thing is the changes
to the ftrace function callback infrastructure. It's introducing a
 way to allow different functions to call directly different trampolines
 instead of all calling the same "mcount" one.
 
 The only user of this for now is the function graph tracer, which always
 had a different trampoline, but the function tracer trampoline was called
 and did basically nothing, and then the function graph tracer trampoline
 was called. The difference now, is that the function graph tracer
 trampoline can be called directly if a function is only being traced by
 the function graph trampoline. If function tracing is also happening on
 the same function, the old way is still done.
 
 The accounting for this takes up more memory when function graph tracing
 is activated, as it needs to keep track of which functions it uses.
 I have a new way that wont take as much memory, but it's not ready yet
 for this merge window, and will have to wait for the next one.
 
 Another big change was the removal of the ftrace_start/stop() calls that
 were used by the suspend/resume code that stopped function tracing when
 entering into suspend and resume paths. The stop of ftrace was done
 because there was some function that would crash the system if one called
 smp_processor_id()! The stop/start was a big hammer to solve the issue
 at the time, which was when ftrace was first introduced into Linux.
 Now ftrace has better infrastructure to debug such issues, and I found
 the problem function and labeled it with "notrace" and function tracing
 can now safely be activated all the way down into the guts of suspend
 and resume.
 
 Other changes include clean ups of uprobe code.
 Clean up of the trace_seq() code.
 And other various small fixes and clean ups to ftrace and tracing.

c60d1ae4ef s390/pci: introduce lazy IOTLB flushing for DMA unmap
This changes the default IOTLB flushing method to lazy flushing, which
means that there will be no direct flush after each DMA unmap operation.
Instead, the iommu bitmap pointer will be adjusted after unmap, so that
no DMA address will be re-used until after an iommu bitmap wrap-around.
The only IOTLB flush will then happen after each wrap-around.

A new kernel parameter "s390_iommu=" is also introduced, to allow changing
the flushing behaviour to the old strict method.
