Core changes:
- The big item is of course the completion of the character
device ABI. It has now replaced and surpassed the former
unmaintainable sysfs ABI: we can now hammer (bitbang)
individual lines or sets of lines and read individual lines
or sets of lines from userspace, and we can also register
to listen to GPIO events from userspace. As a tie-in we
have two new tools in tools/gpio: gpio-hammer and
gpio-event-mon that illustrate the proper use of the new
ABI. As someone said: the wild west days of GPIO are now
over.
- Continued to remove the pointless
ARCH_[WANT_OPTIONAL|REQUIRE]_GPIOLIB Kconfig symbols.
I'm patching hexagon, openrisc, powerpc, sh, unicore,
ia64 and microblaze. These are either ACKed by their
maintainers or patched anyways after a grace period and
no response from maintainers. Some archs (ARM) come in from
their trees, and others (x86) are still not fixed, so I
might send a second pull request to root it out later in
this merge window, or just defer to v4.9.
- The GPIO tools are moved to the tools build system.
New drivers:
- New driver for the MAX77620/MAX20024.
- New driver for the Intel Merrifield.
- Enabled PCA953x for the TI PCA9536.
- Enabled PCA953x for the Intel Edison.
- Enabled R8A7792 in the RCAR driver.
Driver improvements:
- The STMPE and F7188x now supports the .get_direction()
callback.
- The Xilinx driver supports setting multiple lines at
once.
- ACPI support for the Vulcan GPIO controller.
- The MMIO GPIO driver supports device tree probing.
- The Acer One 10 is supported through the _DEP ACPI
attribute.
Cleanups:
- A major cleanup of the OF/DT support code. It is way
easier to read and understand now, probably this improves
performance too.
- Drop a few redundant .owner assignments.
- Remove CLPS711x boardfile support: we are 100% DT.

Merge tag 'gpio-v4.8-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio
Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
"This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.8 kernel cycle. The big
news is the completion of the chardev ABI which I'm very happy about
and apart from that it's an ordinary, quite busy cycle. The details
are below.
The patches are tested in linux-next for some time, patches to other
subsystem mostly have ACKs.
I got overly ambitious with configureing lines as input for IRQ lines
but it turns out that some controllers have their interrupt-enable and
input-enabling in orthogonal settings so the assumption that all IRQ
lines are input lines does not hold. Oh well, revert and back to the
drawing board with that.

and modify the conservative governor to avoid using transition
notifications (Rafael Wysocki).

causes to occur in cases when the CPU frequency doesn't need to be
changed (Steve Muckle, Viresh Kumar).

of the MSR_HWP_INTERRUPT register in intel_pstate (Jan Kiszka,
Srinivas Pandruvada).
- Make intel_pstate update the cpu_frequency tracepoint even if
the frequency doesn't change to avoid confusing powertop (Rafael
Wysocki).

of its internal variables as __read_mostly and drop an unused
structure element from it (Jisheng Zhang, Carsten Emde).

and turbostat (Srinivas Pandruvada).
- Update/fix the powernv, s3c24xx and mvebu cpufreq drivers (Akshay

Jan Beulich, Paul Gortmaker).
- Add support for Denverton and Ivy Bridge server to the Intel RAPL
power capping driver and make it more careful about the handing
of MSRs that may not be present (Jacob Pan, Xiaolong Wang).
- Fix resume from hibernation on x86-64 by making the CPU offline
during resume avoid using MONITOR/MWAIT in the "play dead" loop
which may lead to an inadvertent "revival" of a "dead" CPU and
a page fault leading to a kernel crash from it (Rafael Wysocki).

during the cleanup phase if they have not been called during the
corresponding preparation phase which is possible if one of the
other notifiers returns an error at that time (Lianwei Wang).

clean up suspend-related console handling (Roger Lu, Borislav
Petkov).
- Update the AnalyzeSuspend script in the kernel sources to
version 4.2 (Todd Brandt).

and in the core, make some devfreq code explicitly non-modular and
change some of it into tristate (Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz,
Peter Chen, Paul Gortmaker).

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.

The valid cgroup hierarchy ID range includes 0, so we can't filter for
positive numbers when freeing it, or it'll leak the first ID. No big
deal, just disruptive when reading the code.
The ID is freed during error handling and when the reference count hits
zero, so the double-free test is not necessary; remove it.

It was caused by non-lru page migration which needs compaction.h but
compaction.h doesn't include any header to be standalone.
I think proper header for non-lru page migration is migrate.h rather
than compaction.h because migrate.h has already headers needed to work
non-lru page migration indirectly like isolate_mode_t, migrate_mode
MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS.

To detect whether khugepaged swapin is worthwhile, this patch checks the
amount of young pages. There should be at least half of HPAGE_PMD_NR to
swapin.

Even if user asked to allocate huge pages always (huge=always), we
should be able to free up some memory by splitting pages which are
partly byound i_size if memory presure comes or once we hit limit on
filesystem size (-o size=).
In order to do this we maintain per-superblock list of inodes, which
potentially have huge pages on the border of file size.
Per-fs shrinker can reclaim memory by splitting such pages.
If we hit -ENOSPC during shmem_getpage_gfp(), we try to split a page to
free up space on the filesystem and retry allocation if it succeed.

For file mappings, we don't deposit page tables on THP allocation
because it's not strictly required to implement split_huge_pmd(): we can
just clear pmd and let following page faults to reconstruct the page
table.
But Power makes use of deposited page table to address MMU quirk.
Let's hide THP page cache, including huge tmpfs, under separate config
option, so it can be forbidden on Power.
We can revert the patch later once solution for Power found.

This patch extends khugepaged to support collapse of tmpfs/shmem pages.
We share fair amount of infrastructure with anon-THP collapse.
Few design points:
- First we are looking for VMA which can be suitable for mapping huge
page;
- If the VMA maps shmem file, the rest scan/collapse operations
operates on page cache, not on page tables as in anon VMA case.
- khugepaged_scan_shmem() finds a range which is suitable for huge
page. The scan is lockless and shouldn't disturb system too much.
- once the candidate for collapse is found, collapse_shmem() attempts
to create a huge page:
+ scan over radix tree, making the range point to new huge page;
+ new huge page is not-uptodate, locked and freezed (refcount
is 0), so nobody can touch them until we say so.
+ we swap in pages during the scan. khugepaged_scan_shmem()
filters out ranges with more than khugepaged_max_ptes_swap
swapped out pages. It's HPAGE_PMD_NR/8 by default.
+ old pages are isolated, unmapped and put to local list in case
to be restored back if collapse failed.
- if collapse succeed, we retract pte page tables from VMAs where huge
pages mapping is possible. The huge page will be mapped as PMD on
next minor fault into the range.

We are going to need to call shmem_charge() under tree_lock to get
accoutning right on collapse of small tmpfs pages into a huge one.
The problem is that tree_lock is irq-safe and lockdep is not happy, that
we take irq-unsafe lock under irq-safe[1].
Let's convert the lock to irq-safe.

Let's wire up existing madvise() hugepage hints for file mappings.
MADV_HUGEPAGE advise shmem to allocate huge page on page fault in the
VMA. It only has effect if the filesystem is mounted with huge=advise
or huge=within_size.
MADV_NOHUGEPAGE prevents hugepage from being allocated on page fault in
the VMA. It doesn't prevent a huge page from being allocated by other
means, i.e. page fault into different mapping or write(2) into file.

Here's basic implementation of huge pages support for shmem/tmpfs.
It's all pretty streight-forward:
- shmem_getpage() allcoates huge page if it can and try to inserd into
radix tree with shmem_add_to_page_cache();
- shmem_add_to_page_cache() puts the page onto radix-tree if there's
space for it;
- shmem_undo_range() removes huge pages, if it fully within range.
Partial truncate of huge pages zero out this part of THP.
This have visible effect on fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE)
behaviour. As we don't really create hole in this case,
lseek(SEEK_HOLE) may have inconsistent results depending what
pages happened to be allocated.
- no need to change shmem_fault: core-mm will map an compound page as
huge if VMA is suitable;

Provide a shmem_get_unmapped_area method in file_operations, called at
mmap time to decide the mapping address. It could be conditional on
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, but save #ifdefs in other places by making
it unconditional.
shmem_get_unmapped_area() first calls the usual mm->get_unmapped_area
(which we treat as a black box, highly dependent on architecture and
config and executable layout). Lots of conditions, and in most cases it
just goes with the address that chose; but when our huge stars are
rightly aligned, yet that did not provide a suitable address, go back to
ask for a larger arena, within which to align the mapping suitably.
There have to be some direct calls to shmem_get_unmapped_area(), not via
the file_operations: because of the way shmem_zero_setup() is called to
create a shmem object late in the mmap sequence, when MAP_SHARED is
requested with MAP_ANONYMOUS or /dev/zero. Though this only matters
when /proc/sys/vm/shmem_huge has been set.

This patch adds new mount option "huge=". It can have following values:
- "always":
Attempt to allocate huge pages every time we need a new page;
- "never":
Do not allocate huge pages;
- "within_size":
Only allocate huge page if it will be fully within i_size.
Also respect fadvise()/madvise() hints;
- "advise:
Only allocate huge pages if requested with fadvise()/madvise();
Default is "never" for now.
"mount -o remount,huge= /mountpoint" works fine after mount: remounting
huge=never will not attempt to break up huge pages at all, just stop
more from being allocated.
No new config option: put this under CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, which
is the appropriate option to protect those who don't want the new bloat,
and with which we shall share some pmd code.
Prohibit the option when !CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, just as mpol is
invalid without CONFIG_NUMA (was hidden in mpol_parse_str(): make it
explicit).
Allow enabling THP only if the machine has_transparent_hugepage().
But what about Shmem with no user-visible mount? SysV SHM, memfds,
shared anonymous mmaps (of /dev/zero or MAP_ANONYMOUS), GPU drivers' DRM
objects, Ashmem. Though unlikely to suit all usages, provide sysfs knob
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled to experiment with
huge on those.
And allow shmem_enabled two further values:
- "deny":
For use in emergencies, to force the huge option off from
all mounts;
- "force":
Force the huge option on for all - very useful for testing;

Basic scheme is the same as for anon THP.
Main differences:
- File pages are on radix-tree, so we have head->_count offset by
HPAGE_PMD_NR. The count got distributed to small pages during split.
- mapping->tree_lock prevents non-lockless access to pages under split
over radix-tree;
- Lockless access is prevented by setting the head->_count to 0 during
split;
- After split, some pages can be beyond i_size. We drop them from
radix-tree.
- We don't setup migration entries. Just unmap pages. It helps
handling cases when i_size is in the middle of the page: no need
handle unmap pages beyond i_size manually.

copy_page_range() has a check for "Don't copy ptes where a page fault
will fill them correctly." It works on VMA level. We still copy all
page table entries from private mappings, even if they map page cache.
We can simplify copy_huge_pmd() a bit by skipping file PMDs.
We don't map file private pages with PMDs, so they only can map page
cache. It's safe to skip them as they can be re-faulted later.

The idea (and most of code) is borrowed again: from Hugh's patchset on
huge tmpfs[1].
Instead of allocation pte page table upfront, we postpone this until we
have page to map in hands. This approach opens possibility to map the
page as huge if filesystem supports this.
Comparing to Hugh's patch I've pushed page table allocation a bit
further: into do_set_pte(). This way we can postpone allocation even in
faultaround case without moving do_fault_around() after __do_fault().
do_set_pte() got renamed to alloc_set_pte() as it can allocate page
table if required.
