Linus Torvalds 6aa2f9441f This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.15 kernel cycle:
CORE:
 - Fix the semantics of raw GPIO to actually be raw. No
   inversion semantics as before, but also no open draining,
   and allow the raw operations to affect lines used for
   interrupts as the caller supposedly knows what they are
   doing if they are getting the big hammer.
 
 - Rewrote the __inner_function() notation calls to names that
   make more sense. I just find this kind of code disturbing.
 
 - Drop the .irq_base() field from the gpiochip since now all
   IRQs are mapped dynamically. This is nice.
 
 - Support for .get_multiple() in the core driver API. This
   allows us to read several GPIO lines with a single
   register read. This has high value for some usecases: it
   can be used to create oscilloscopes and signal analyzers
   and other things that rely on reading several lines at
   exactly the same instant. Also a generally nice
   optimization. This uses the new assign_bit() macro from
   the bitops lib that was ACKed by Andrew Morton and
   is implemented for two drivers, one of them being the
   generic MMIO driver so everyone using that will be able
   to benefit from this.
 
 - Do not allow requests of Open Drain and Open Source
   setting of a GPIO line simultaneously. If the hardware
   actually supports enabling both at the same time the
   electrical result would be disastrous.
 
 - A new interrupt chip core helper. This will be helpful
   to deal with "banked" GPIOs, which means GPIO controllers
   with several logical blocks of GPIO inside them. This
   is several gpiochips per device in the device model, in
   contrast to the case when there is a 1-to-1 relationship
   between a device and a gpiochip.
 
 NEW DRIVERS:
 
 - Maxim MAX3191x industrial serializer, a very interesting
   piece of professional I/O hardware.
 
 - Uniphier GPIO driver. This is the GPIO block from the
   recent Socionext (ex Fujitsu and Panasonic) platform.
 
 - Tegra 186 driver. This is based on the new banked GPIO
   infrastructure.
 
 OTHER IMPROVEMENTS:
 
 - Some documentation improvements.
 
 - Wakeup support for the DesignWare DWAPB GPIO controller.
 
 - Reset line support on the DesignWare DWAPB GPIO controller.
 
 - Several non-critical bug fixes and improvements for the
   Broadcom BRCMSTB driver.
 
 - Misc non-critical bug fixes like exotic errorpaths, removal
   of dead code etc.
 
 - Explicit comments on fall-through switch() statements.

Michal Hocko ffc10d82ff ACPI / scan: Drop support for force_remove
/sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/force_remove was presumably added to support
auto offlining in the past. This is, however, inherently dangerous for
some hotplugable resources like memory. The memory offlining fails when
the memory is still in use and cannot be dropped or migrated. If we
ignore the failure we are basically allowing for subtle memory
corruption or a crash.

We have actually noticed the later while hitting BUG() during the memory
hotremove (remove_memory):
	ret = walk_memory_range(PFN_DOWN(start), PFN_UP(start + size - 1), NULL,
			check_memblock_offlined_cb);
	if (ret)
		BUG();

it took us quite non-trivial time realize that the customer had
force_remove enabled. Even if the BUG was removed here and we could
propagate the error up the call chain it wouldn't help at all because
then we would hit a crash or a memory corruption later and harder to
debug. So force_remove is unfixable for the memory hotremove. We haven't
checked other hotplugable resources to be prone to a similar problems.

Remove the force_remove functionality because it is not fixable currently.
Keep the sysfs file and report an error if somebody tries to enable it.
Encourage users to report about the missing functionality and work with
them with an alternative solution.

Sergey Senozhatsky c87d1655c2 zram: remove obsolete sysfs attrs
We had a deprecated_attr_warn() warning for 2 years and now the time has
come and we finally can do the cleanup.

The plan was as follows:

: per-stat sysfs attributes are considered to be deprecated.
: The basic strategy is:
: -- the existing RW nodes will be downgraded to WO nodes (in linux 4.11)
: -- deprecated RO sysfs nodes will eventually be removed (in linux 4.11)
:
: The list of deprecated attributes can be found here:
: Documentation/ABI/obsolete/sysfs-block-zram
:
: Basically, every attribute that has its own read accessible sysfs
: node (e.g. num_reads) *AND* is accessible via one of the stat files
: (zram<id>/stat or zram<id>/io_stat or zram<id>/mm_stat) is considered
: to be deprecated.

The patch also removes `obsolete/sysfs-block-zram', clean ups
`testing/sysfs-block-zram' and tweaks zram.txt files.

 "Highlights:

   1) Support more Realtek wireless chips, from Jes Sorenson.

   2) New BPF types for per-cpu hash and arrap maps, from Alexei
      Starovoitov.

   3) Make several TCP sysctls per-namespace, from Nikolay Borisov.

   4) Allow the use of SO_REUSEPORT in order to do per-thread processing
   of incoming TCP/UDP connections.  The muxing can be done using a
   BPF program which hashes the incoming packet.  From Craig Gallek.

   5) Add a multiplexer for TCP streams, to provide a messaged based
      interface.  BPF programs can be used to determine the message
      boundaries.  From Tom Herbert.

   6) Add 802.1AE MACSEC support, from Sabrina Dubroca.

   7) Avoid factorial complexity when taking down an inetdev interface
      with lots of configured addresses.  We were doing things like
      traversing the entire address less for each address removed, and
      flushing the entire netfilter conntrack table for every address as
      well.

   8) Add and use SKB bulk free infrastructure, from Jesper Brouer.

   9) Allow offloading u32 classifiers to hardware, and implement for
      ixgbe, from John Fastabend.

  10) Allow configuring IRQ coalescing parameters on a per-queue basis,
      from Kan Liang.

  11) Extend ethtool so that larger link mode masks can be supported.
      From David Decotigny.

  12) Introduce devlink, which can be used to configure port link types
      (ethernet vs Infiniband, etc.), port splitting, and switch device
      level attributes as a whole.  From Jiri Pirko.

  13) Hardware offload support for flower classifiers, from Amir Vadai.

  14) Add "Local Checksum Offload".  Basically, for a tunneled packet
      the checksum of the outer header is 'constant' (because with the
      checksum field filled into the inner protocol header, the payload
      of the outer frame checksums to 'zero'), and we can take advantage
      of that in various ways.  From Edward Cree"

Stefan Achatz b50f315cbb HID: roccat: fix actual/startup profile sysfs attribute in koneplus
startup_profile and actual_profile didn't work as expected. Also
as the actual profile is persistent, the distinction between the
two was ambiguous, so both use the same code now and startup_profile
has been deprecated. Also the event is now propagated through
chardev. The userland tool has been updated to support this change.

David Rientjes 203f40a5a0 oom: document obsolete oom_adj tunable
/proc/pid/oom_adj was deprecated in August 2010 with the introduction of
the new oom killer heuristic.

This patch copies the Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt entry for
this tunable to the Documentation/ABI/obsolete directory so nobody misses
it.

Stefan Richter 66fa12c571 ieee1394: remove the old IEEE 1394 driver stack
The drivers
  - ohci1394 (controller driver)
  - ieee1394 (core)
  - dv1394, raw1394, video1394 (userspace ABI)
  - eth1394, sbp2 (protocol drivers)
are replaced by
  - firewire-ohci (controller driver)
  - firewire-core (core and userspace ABI)
  - firewire-net, firewire-sbp2 (protocol drivers)
which are more featureful, better performing, and more secure than the older
drivers; all with a smaller and more modern code base.

The driver firedtv in drivers/media/dvb/firewire/ contains backends to both
ieee1394 and firewire-core.  Its ieee1394 backend code can be removed in an
independent commit; firedtv as-is builds and works fine without ieee1394.

The driver pcilynx (an incomplete controller driver) is deleted without
replacement since PCILynx cards are extremely rare.  Owners of these cards
use them with the stand-alone bus sniffer driver nosy instead.

The drivers nosy and init_ohci1394_dma which do not interact with either of
the two IEEE 1394 stacks are not affected by the ieee1394 subsystem removal.

There are still some issues with the newer firewire subsystem compared to
the older one:
  - The rare and quirky controllers ALi M52xx, Apple UniNorth v1, NVIDIA
    NForce2 are even less well supported by firewire-ohci than by ohci1394.
    I am looking into the M52xx issue.
  - The experimental firewire-net is reportedly less stable than its
    experimental cousin eth1394.
  - Audio playback of a certain group of audio devices (ones based on DICE
    chipset with EAP; supported by prerelease FFADO code) does not work yet.
    This issue is still under investigation.
  - There were some ieee1394 based out-of-the-mainline drivers.  Of them,
    only lisight, an audio driver for iSight webcams, seems still useful.
    Work is underway to reimplement it on top of firewire-core.

All these remainig issues are minor; they should not stand in the way of
overall better user experience of IEEE 1394 on Linux, together with a
reduction in support efforts and maintenance burden.  The coexistence of two
IEEE 1394 kernel driver stacks in the mainline since 2.6.22 shall end now,
as announced earlier this year.

Alan Stern a90309860b USB: deprecate the power/level sysfs attribute
This patch (as1367) deprecates USB's power/level sysfs attribute in
favor of the power/control attribute provided by the runtime PM core.
The two attributes do the same thing.

It would be nice to replace power/level with a symlink to
power/control, but at the moment sysfs doesn't offer any way to do so.

Mark Fasheh 52f7c21b61 ocfs2: Move /sys/o2cb to /sys/fs/o2cb
/sys/fs is where we really want file system specific sysfs objects.

Ocfs2-tools has been updated to look in /sys/fs/o2cb. We can maintain
backwards compatibility with old ocfs2-tools by using a sysfs symlink. After
some time (2 years), the symlink can be safely removed. This patch also adds
documentation to make it easier for people to figure out what /sys/fs/o2cb
is used for.

Stefan Richter 199c1167f5 ieee1394: change deprecation status of dv1394
Nobody ported ffmpeg from dv1394 to rawiso yet, and there is no
justification to remove dv1394 right now.

Nevertheless, a strong deprecation of this ABI makes a lot of sense,
especially as Kristian H's drivers shape up to be an attractive
alternative to the existing ones.  But we don't have a schedule at the
moment.
