Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
 "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.13 series.

  Some administrativa:

  I have a slew of 8250 serial patches and the new IOT2040 serial+GPIO
  driver coming in through this tree, along with a whole bunch of Exar
  8250 fixes. These are ACKed by Greg and also hit drivers/platform/*
  where they are ACKed by Andy Shevchenko.

  Speaking about drivers/platform/* there is also a bunch of ACPI stuff
  coming through that route, again ACKed by Andy.

  The MCP23S08 changes are coming in here as well. You already have the
  commits in your tree, so this is just a result of sharing an immutable
  branch between pin control and GPIO.

  Core:
   - Export add/remove for lookup tables so that modules can export GPIO
     descriptor tables.
   - Handle GPIO sleep states: it is now possible to flag that a GPIO
     line may loose its state during suspend/resume of the system to
     save power. This is used in the Wolfson Micro Arizona driver.
   - ACPI-based GPIO was tightened up a lot around the edges.
   - Use bitmap_fill() to speed up a loop.

  New drivers:
   - Exar XRA1403 SPI-based GPIO.
   - MVEBU driver now supports Armada 7K and 8K.
   - LP87565 PMIC GPIO.
   - Renesas R-CAR R8A7743 (RZ/G1M).
   - The new IOT2040 8250 serial/GPIO also comes in through this
     changeset.

  Substantial driver changes:
   - Seriously fix the Exar 8250 GPIO portions to work.
   - The MCP23S08 was moved out to a pin control driver.
   - Convert MEVEBU to use regmap for register access.
   - Drop Vulcan support from the Broadcom driver.
   - Serious cleanup and improvement of the mockup driver, giving us a
     better test coverage.

  Misc:
   - Lots of janitorial clean up.
   - A bunch of documentation fixes"

<title>ACPI / PM: Consolidate device wakeup settings code</title>

<id>4d183d04195318c8ee8bce048f3f9a89c0e2056d</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, there are two separate ways of handling device wakeup
settings in the ACPI core, depending on whether this is runtime
wakeup or system wakeup (from sleep states).  However, after the
previous commit eliminating the run_wake ACPI device wakeup flag,
there is no difference between the two any more at the ACPI level,
so they can be combined.

For this reason, introduce acpi_pm_set_device_wakeup() to replace both
acpi_pm_device_run_wake() and acpi_pm_device_sleep_wake() and make it
check the ACPI device object's wakeup.valid flag to determine whether
or not the device can be set up to generate wakeup signals.

Also notice that zpodd_enable/disable_run_wake() only call
device_set_run_wake() because acpi_pm_device_run_wake() called
device_run_wake(), which is not done by acpi_pm_set_device_wakeup(),
so drop the now redundant device_set_run_wake() calls from there.

<title>PNP / ACPI: add support for GpioInt resource type</title>

<content type='text'>
The PNP ACPI driver parses ACPI interrupt resource but not
GpioInt resource. When the firmware passes GpioInt resource
for IRQ the PNP ACPI driver ignores it and hence the interrupt for
the particular driver will not work.
One such example is 8042 keyboard which uses PNP driver for obtaining
the interrupt resource. On Intel Braswell project GpioInt is used
instead of interrupt resource and the keyboard driver fails to
register interrupt.
Fix the issue by parsing GpioInt resource type.

<title>x86: Remap GDT tables in the fixmap section</title>
<updated>2017-03-16T08:06:35+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=69218e47994da614e7af600bf06887750ab6657a'/>
<id>69218e47994da614e7af600bf06887750ab6657a</id>
<content type='text'>
Each processor holds a GDT in its per-cpu structure. The sgdt
instruction gives the base address of the current GDT. This address can
be used to bypass KASLR memory randomization. With another bug, an
attacker could target other per-cpu structures or deduce the base of
the main memory section (PAGE_OFFSET).

This patch relocates the GDT table for each processor inside the
fixmap section. The space is reserved based on number of supported
processors.

For consistency, the remapping is done by default on 32 and 64-bit.

Each processor switches to its remapped GDT at the end of
initialization. For hibernation, the main processor returns with the
original GDT and switches back to the remapping at completion.

This patch was tested on both architectures. Hibernation and KVM were
both tested specially for their usage of the GDT.

Thanks to Boris Ostrovsky &lt;boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com&gt; for testing and
recommending changes for Xen support.

There are a number of usermode helper binaries that are "hard coded" in
the kernel today, so mark them as "const" to make it harder for someone
to change where the variables point to.

  sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include &lt;linux/uaccess.h&gt;!" \
        $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)

to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

<title>PNP: isapnp: make core more explicitly non-modular</title>

The Makefile currently controlling compilation of this code is:

obj-y                   += pnp.o
pnp-y                   := core.o compat.o

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the couple traces of modular infrastructure use, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

Also note that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is a no-op for non-modular code.

We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
is already contained at the top of the file in the comments.

We don't replace module.h with init.h since the file already has that.
But we do add moduleparam.h since the file does use module_param().
