Pull staging/IIO updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big staging tree update for 4.12-rc1.

  It's a big one, adding about 350k new lines of crap^Wcode, mostly all
  in a big dump of media drivers from Intel. But there's other new
  drivers in here as well, yet-another-wifi driver, new IIO drivers, and
  a new crypto accelerator.

  We also deleted a bunch of stuff, mostly in patch cleanups, but also
  the Android ION code has shrunk a lot, and the Android low memory
  killer driver was finally deleted, much to the celebration of the -mm
  developers.

  All of these have been in linux-next with a few build issues that will
  show up when you merge to your tree"

this merge window) handled as per linux-next, courtesy of Stephen
Rothwell.

Pull USB updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big USB patchset for 4.12-rc1.

  Lots of good stuff here, after many many many attempts, the kernel
  finally has a working typeC interface, many thanks to Heikki and
  Guenter and others who have taken the time to get this merged. It
  wasn't an easy path for them at all.

  There's also a staging driver that uses this new api, which is why
  it's coming in through this tree.

  Along with that, there's the usual huge number of changes for gadget
  drivers, xhci, and other stuff. Johan also finally refactored pretty
  much every driver that was looking at USB endpoints to do it in a
  common way, which will help prevent any "badly-formed" devices from
  causing problems in drivers. That too wasn't a simple task.

Pull livepatch updates from Jiri Kosina:

 - a per-task consistency model is being added for architectures that
   support reliable stack dumping (extending this, currently rather
   trivial set, is currently in the works).

   This extends the nature of the types of patches that can be applied
   by live patching infrastructure. The code stems from the design
   proposal made [1] back in November 2014. It's a hybrid of SUSE's
   kGraft and RH's kpatch, combining advantages of both: it uses
   kGraft's per-task consistency and syscall barrier switching combined
   with kpatch's stack trace switching. There are also a number of
   fallback options which make it quite flexible.

   Most of the heavy lifting done by Josh Poimboeuf with help from
   Miroslav Benes and Petr Mladek

   [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20141107140458.GA21774@suse.cz

Pull networking updates from David Millar:
 "Here are some highlights from the 2065 networking commits that
  happened this development cycle:

   1) XDP support for IXGBE (John Fastabend) and thunderx (Sunil Kowuri)

   2) Add a generic XDP driver, so that anyone can test XDP even if they
      lack a networking device whose driver has explicit XDP support
      (me).

   3) Sparc64 now has an eBPF JIT too (me)

   4) Add a BPF program testing framework via BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN (Alexei
      Starovoitov)

   5) Make netfitler network namespace teardown less expensive (Florian
      Westphal)

   6) Add symmetric hashing support to nft_hash (Laura Garcia Liebana)

   7) Implement NAPI and GRO in netvsc driver (Stephen Hemminger)

   8) Support TC flower offload statistics in mlxsw (Arkadi Sharshevsky)

   9) Multiqueue support in stmmac driver (Joao Pinto)

  10) Remove TCP timewait recycling, it never really could possibly work
      well in the real world and timestamp randomization really zaps any
      hint of usability this feature had (Soheil Hassas Yeganeh)

  11) Support level3 vs level4 ECMP route hashing in ipv4 (Nikolay
      Aleksandrov)

  12) Add socket busy poll support to epoll (Sridhar Samudrala)

  13) Netlink extended ACK support (Johannes Berg, Pablo Neira Ayuso,
      and several others)

  14) IPSEC hw offload infrastructure (Steffen Klassert)"

Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These are some device enumeration code changes, updates of the AC and
  battery drivers to help them avoid attaching to devices that cannot be
  handled by them, new operation region driver for the Intel CHT Whiskey
  Cove PMIC, new sysfs entries for CPPC performance capabilities, a new
  _REV quirk blacklist entry and a couple of assorted minor fixes and
  cleanups.

  Specifics:

   - Update the core device enumeration code to make it more internally
     consistent and robust and drop the force_remove sysfs attribute
     that could be used to tell it to ignore errors on device
     hot-removal which was dangerous in general and no real and still
     relevant use cases for it could be found (Rafael Wysocki, Michal
     Hocko).

   - Make the core device enumeration code use _PXM to associate
     platform devices created by it with specific NUMA nodes (Shanker
     Donthineni).

   - Extend the CPPC library by adding more sysfs entries for
     performance capabilities to it and making it use the lowest
     nonlinear performance parameter (Prashanth Prakash).

   - Make the CPU online more consistent with CPU initialization in the
     ACPI processor driver (Prashanth Prakash).

   - Update the AC and battery drivers to help them avoid attaching to
     devices that cannot be handled by them and update the
     axp288_charger power supply driver to work correctly on ACPI
     systems without the INT3496 device (Hans de Goede).

   - Add an ACPI operation region driver for the Intel CHT Whiskey Cove
     PMIC and update the xpower operation region driver to work without
     IIO which isn't really necessary for it to work (Hans de Goede).

   - Add a new entry for Dell Inspiron 7537 to the _REV quirk blacklist
     (Kai Heng Feng).

   - Make the code in the ACPI video driver easier to follow by adding
     symbols and comments to it (Dmitry Frank).

   - Update ACPI documentation and drop a function that has no users
     from the tables-handling code (Cao jin, Baoquan He)"

<title>PCI: Add sysfs sriov_drivers_autoprobe to control VF driver binding</title>

<content type='text'>
Sometimes it is not desirable to bind SR-IOV VFs to drivers.  This can save
host side resource usage by VF instances that will be assigned to VMs.

Add a new PCI sysfs interface "sriov_drivers_autoprobe" to control that
from the PF.  To modify it, echo 0/n/N (disable probe) or 1/y/Y (enable
probe) to:

  /sys/bus/pci/devices/&lt;DOMAIN:BUS:DEVICE.FUNCTION&gt;/sriov_drivers_autoprobe

Note that this must be done before enabling VFs.  The change will not take
effect if VFs are already enabled.  Simply, one can disable VFs by setting
sriov_numvfs to 0, choose whether to probe or not, and then re-enable the
VFs by restoring sriov_numvfs.
