bde435a9ca spi/pl022: Add spi->mode support to AMBA SPI driver
This patch adds spi->mode support for the AMBA pl022 driver and
allows spidev to correctly alter SPI modes. Unused fields used in
the pl022 header file for the pl022_config_chip have been removed.

The ab8500 client driver selects the data transfer size instead
of the platform data.

For platforms that use the amba pl022 driver, the unused fields
in the controller data structure have been removed and the .mode
field in the SPI board info structure is used instead.

c7fc2de0c8 memblock, bootmem: Round pfn properly for memory and reserved regions
We need to round memory regions correctly -- specifically, we need to
round reserved region in the more expansive direction (lower limit
down, upper limit up) whereas usable memory regions need to be rounded
in the more restrictive direction (lower limit up, upper limit down).

This introduces two set of inlines:

	memblock_region_memory_base_pfn()
	memblock_region_memory_end_pfn()
	memblock_region_reserved_base_pfn()
	memblock_region_reserved_end_pfn()

Although they are antisymmetric (and therefore are technically
duplicates) the use of the different inlines explicitly documents the
programmer's intention.

The lack of proper rounding caused a bug on ARM, which was then found
to also affect other architectures.

29b4433d99 net: percpu net_device refcount
We tried very hard to remove all possible dev_hold()/dev_put() pairs in
network stack, using RCU conversions.

There is still an unavoidable device refcount change for every dst we
create/destroy, and this can slow down some workloads (routers or some
app servers, mmap af_packet)

We can switch to a percpu refcount implementation, now dynamic per_cpu
infrastructure is mature. On a 64 cpus machine, this consumes 256 bytes
per device.

On x86, dev_hold(dev) code :

796c86eec8 Bluetooth: Add common code for stream-oriented recvmsg()
This commit adds a bt_sock_stream_recvmsg() function for use by any
Bluetooth code that uses SOCK_STREAM sockets.  This code is copied
from rfcomm_sock_recvmsg() with minimal modifications to remove
RFCOMM-specific functionality and improve readability.

L2CAP (with the SOCK_STREAM socket type) and RFCOMM have common needs
when it comes to reading data.  Proper stream read semantics require
that applications can read from a stream one byte at a time and not
lose any data.  The RFCOMM code already operated on and pulled data
from the underlying L2CAP socket, so very few changes were required to
make the code more generic for use with non-RFCOMM data over L2CAP.

Applications that need more awareness of L2CAP frame boundaries are
still free to use SOCK_SEQPACKET sockets, and may verify that they
connection did not fall back to basic mode by calling getsockopt().

78f90d91f3 genirq: Remove the now unused sparse irq leftovers
The move_irq_desc() function was only used due to the problem that the
allocator did not free the old descriptors. So the descriptors had to
be moved in create_irq_nr(). That's history.

The code would have never been able to move active interrupt
descriptors on affinity settings. That can be done in a completely
different way w/o all this horror.

Remove all of it.

remapping code. This allows to simplify the code and irq_2_iommu is

1f5a5b87f7 genirq: Implement a sane sparse_irq allocator
The current sparse_irq allocator has several short comings due to
failures in the design or the lack of it:

 - Requires iteration over the number of active irqs to find a free slot
   (Some architectures have grown their own workarounds for this)
 - Removal of entries is not possible
 - Racy between create_irq_nr and destroy_irq (plugged by horrible
   callbacks)
 - Migration of active irq descriptors is not possible
 - No bulk allocation of irq ranges
 - Sprinkeled irq_desc references all over the place outside of kernel/irq/
   (The previous chip functions series is addressing this issue)

Implement a sane allocator which fixes the above short comings (though
migration of active descriptors needs a full tree wide cleanup of the
direct and mostly unlocked access to irq_desc).

The new allocator still uses a radix_tree, but uses a bitmap for
keeping track of allocated irq numbers. That allows:

 - Fast lookup of a free slot
 - Allows the removal of descriptors
 - Prevents the create/destroy race
 - Bulk allocation of consecutive irq ranges
 - Basic design is ready for migration of life descriptors after
   further cleanups

The bitmap is also used in the SPARSE_IRQ=n case for lookup and
raceless (de)allocation of irq numbers. So it removes the requirement
for looping through the descriptor array to find slots.

Right now it uses sparse_irq_lock to protect the bitmap and the radix
tree, but after cleaning up all users we should be able convert that
to a mutex and to switch the radix_tree and decriptor allocations to
GFP_KERNEL.

7c5347733d fanotify: disable fanotify syscalls
This patch disables the fanotify syscalls by just not building them and
letting the cond_syscall() statements in kernel/sys_ni.c redirect them
to sys_ni_syscall().

It was pointed out by Tvrtko Ursulin that the fanotify interface did not
include an explicit prioritization between groups.  This is necessary
for fanotify to be usable for hierarchical storage management software,
as they must get first access to the file, before inotify-like notifiers
see the file.

This feature can be added in an ABI compatible way in the next release
(by using a number of bits in the flags field to carry the info) but it
was suggested by Alan that maybe we should just hold off and do it in
the next cycle, likely with an (new) explicit argument to the syscall.
I don't like this approach best as I know people are already starting to
use the current interface, but Alan is all wise and noone on list backed
me up with just using what we have.  I feel this is needlessly ripping
the rug out from under people at the last minute, but if others think it
needs to be a new argument it might be the best way forward.

Three choices:
Go with what we got (and implement the new feature next cycle).  Add a
new field right now (and implement the new feature next cycle).  Wait
till next cycle to release the ABI (and implement the new feature next
cycle).  This is number 3.

cfdfa4d3a0 mac80211: Update mesh constants to approved IEEE ANA values
This patch updates IEEE802.11 mesh constants to be consistent with newly
approved values. It modifies some values, as well as adds many new constants
in preparation for updating mesh code to the current 802.11s drafts. ANA
numbers were taken from:
https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/09/11-09-0031-12-0000-ana-database-assigned-number-authority.xls

A few notes are in order:
1. This will break backwards compatibility with existing Linux kernels as
over-the-air constants have changed.
2. Some old and obsolete constants have been retained for now as the mesh code
itself hasn't been updated yet to the new 802.11s draft. This was desired to
keep the existing mesh scheme working until it can be updated. Adding the
approved values is the first step in updating the mesh code.
3. Obsolete constants have been clearly marked.
4. All ANA approved 802.11s constants have been added.

8610c29a2c cfg80211: add channel utilization stats to the survey command
Using these, user space can calculate a relative channel utilization
with arbitrary intervals by regularly taking snapshots of the survey
results.

5a5c731aa5 wireless: Set some stats used by /proc/net/wireless (wext)
Some stats for /proc/net/wireless (and wext in general) are not
being set.  This patch addresses a few of those with values easily
obtained from mac80211 core.

34d101dd62 neigh: speedup neigh_hh_init()
When a new dst is used to send a frame, neigh_resolve_output() tries to
associate an struct hh_cache to this dst, calling neigh_hh_init() with
the neigh rwlock write locked.

Most of the time, hh_cache is already known and linked into neighbour,
so we find it and increment its refcount.

This patch changes the logic so that we call neigh_hh_init() with
neighbour lock read locked only, so that fast path can be run in
parallel by concurrent cpus.

This brings part of the speedup we got with commit c7d4426a98a5f
(introduce DST_NOCACHE flag) for non cached dsts, even for cached ones,
removing one of the contention point that routers hit on multiqueue
enabled machines.

Further improvements would need to use a seqlock instead of an rwlock to
protect neigh->ha[], to not dirty neigh too often and remove two atomic
ops.

3d90a00763 oprofile: Abstract the perf-events backend
Move the perf-events backend from arch/arm/oprofile into
drivers/oprofile so that the code can be shared between architectures.

This allows each architecture to maintain only a single copy of the PMU
accessor functions instead of one for both perf and OProfile. It also
becomes possible for other architectures to delete much of their
OProfile code in favour of the common code now available in
drivers/oprofile/oprofile_perf.c.

Make op_name_from_perf_id() global so that we have a way for each
architecture to construct an oprofile name for op->cpu_type. We need to
remove the argument from the function prototype so that we can hide all
implementation details inside the function.

84c7991059 perf: New helper function for pmu name
Introduce perf_pmu_name() helper function that returns the name of the
pmu. This gives us a generic way to get the name of a pmu regardless of
how an architecture identifies it internally.

6370a6ad3b workqueue: add and use WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag
Add WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag which currently maps to WQ_RESCUER, mark
WQ_RESCUER as internal and replace all external WQ_RESCUER usages to
WQ_MEM_RECLAIM.

This makes the API users express the intent of the workqueue instead
of indicating the internal mechanism used to guarantee forward
progress.  This is also to make it cleaner to add more semantics to
WQ_MEM_RECLAIM.  For example, if deemed necessary, memory reclaim
workqueues can be made highpri.

This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.
