Pull tty / serial updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of tty and serial driver patches for 5.14-rc1.

  Highlights are:

   - lots of tty api cleanups and mxser driver cleanups from Jiri

   - build warning fixes

   - various serial driver updates

   - coding style cleanups

   - various tty driver minor fixes and updates

   - removal of broken and disable r3964 line discipline (finally!)

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Added option for per CPU threads to the hwlat tracer

 - Have hwlat tracer handle hotplug CPUs

 - New tracer: osnoise, that detects latency caused by interrupts,
   softirqs and scheduling of other tasks.

 - Added timerlat tracer that creates a thread and measures in detail
   what sources of latency it has for wake ups.

 - Removed the "success" field of the sched_wakeup trace event. This has
   been hardcoded as "1" since 2015, no tooling should be looking at it
   now. If one exists, we can revert this commit, fix that tool and try
   to remove it again in the future.

 - tgid mapping fixed to handle more than PID_MAX_DEFAULT pids/tgids.

 - New boot command line option "tp_printk_stop", as tp_printk causes
   trace events to write to console. When user space starts, this can
   easily live lock the system. Having a boot option to stop just after
   boot up is useful to prevent that from happening.

 - Have ftrace_dump_on_oops boot command line option take numbers that
   match the numbers shown in /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops.

 - Bootconfig clean ups, fixes and enhancements.

 - New ktest script that tests bootconfig options.

 - Add tracepoint_probe_register_may_exist() to register a tracepoint
   without triggering a WARN*() if it already exists. BPF has a path
   from user space that can do this. All other paths are considered a
   bug.

 - Small clean ups and fixes

* tag 'trace-v5.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (49 commits)
  tracing: Resize tgid_map to pid_max, not PID_MAX_DEFAULT
  tracing: Simplify &amp; fix saved_tgids logic
  treewide: Add missing semicolons to __assign_str uses
  tracing: Change variable type as bool for clean-up
  trace/timerlat: Fix indentation on timerlat_main()
  trace/osnoise: Make 'noise' variable s64 in run_osnoise()
  tracepoint: Add tracepoint_probe_register_may_exist() for BPF tracing
  tracing: Fix spelling in osnoise tracer "interferences" -&gt; "interference"
  Documentation: Fix a typo on trace/osnoise-tracer
  trace/osnoise: Fix return value on osnoise_init_hotplug_support
  trace/osnoise: Make interval u64 on osnoise_main
  trace/osnoise: Fix 'no previous prototype' warnings
  tracing: Have osnoise_main() add a quiescent state for task rcu
  seq_buf: Make trace_seq_putmem_hex() support data longer than 8
  seq_buf: Fix overflow in seq_buf_putmem_hex()
  trace/osnoise: Support hotplug operations
  trace/hwlat: Support hotplug operations
  trace/hwlat: Protect kdata-&gt;kthread with get/put_online_cpus

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:

 - cgroup.kill is added which implements atomic killing of the whole
   subtree.

   Down the line, this should be able to replace the multiple userland
   implementations of "keep killing till empty".

 - PSI can now be turned off at boot time to avoid overhead for
   configurations which don't care about PSI.

* 'for-5.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup:
  cgroup: make per-cgroup pressure stall tracking configurable
  cgroup: Fix kernel-doc
  cgroup: inline cgroup_task_freeze()
  tests/cgroup: test cgroup.kill
  tests/cgroup: move cg_wait_for(), cg_prepare_for_wait()
  tests/cgroup: use cgroup.kill in cg_killall()
  docs/cgroup: add entry for cgroup.kill
  cgroup: introduce cgroup.kill

When using HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP, the freeing unused vmemmap pages
associated with each HugeTLB page is default off.  Now the vmemmap is PMD
mapped.  So there is no side effect when this feature is enabled with no
HugeTLB pages in the system.  Someone may want to enable this feature in
the compiler time instead of using boot command line.  So add a config to
make it default on when someone do not want to enable it via command line.

The preparation of splitting huge PMD mapping of vmemmap pages is ready,
so switch the mapping from PTE to PMD.

Add a kernel parameter hugetlb_free_vmemmap to enable the feature of
freeing unused vmemmap pages associated with each hugetlb page on boot.

We disable PMD mapping of vmemmap pages for x86-64 arch when this feature
is enabled.  Because vmemmap_remap_free() depends on vmemmap being base
page mapped.
