 "This patchset falls under the "maintainers that grovel" clause in the
  v3.18-rc1 announcement.  We had intended to push it late in the merge
  window since we got it into the -tip tree relatively late.

  Many of these are relatively simple things, but there are a couple of
  key bits, especially Ard's and Matt's patches"

Pull more powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Here's some more updates for powerpc for 3.18.

  They are a bit late I know, though must are actually bug fixes.  In my
  defence I nearly cut the top of my finger off last weekend in a
  gruesome bike maintenance accident, so I spent a good part of the week
  waiting around for doctors.  True story, I can send photos if you like :)

  Probably the most interesting fix is the sys_call_table one, which
  enables syscall tracing for powerpc.  There's a fix for HMI handling
  for old firmware, more endian fixes for firmware interfaces, more EEH
  fixes, Anton fixed our routine that gets the current stack pointer,
  and a few other misc bits"

Pull clock tree updates from Mike Turquette:
 "The clk tree changes for 3.18 are dominated by clock drivers.  Mostly
  fixes and enhancements to existing drivers as well as new drivers.
  This tag contains a bit more arch code than I usually take due to some
  OMAP2+ changes.  Additionally it contains the restart notifier
  handlers which are merged as a dependency into several trees.

  The PXA changes are the only messy part.  Due to having a stable tree
  I had to revert one patch and follow up with one more fix near the tip
  of this tag.  Some dead code is introduced but it will soon become
  live code after 3.18-rc1 is released as the rest of the PXA family is
  converted over to the common clock framework.

  Another trend in this tag is that multiple vendors have started to
  push the complexity of changing their CPU frequency into the clock
  driver, whereas this used to be done in CPUfreq drivers.

  Changes to the clk core include a generic gpio-clock type and a
  clk_set_phase() function added to the top-level clk.h api.  Due to
  some confusion on the fbdev mailing list the kernel boot parameters
  documentation was updated to further explain the clk_ignore_unused
  parameter, which is often required by users of the simplefb driver.

  Finally some fixes to the locking around the clock debugfs stuff was
  done to prevent deadlocks when interacting with other subsystems."

We have hit a few customer issues with the topology update code (VPHN
and PRRN). It would be nice to be able to debug the notifications coming
from the hypervisor in both cases to the LPAR, as well as to disable
responding to the notifications at boot-time, to narrow down the source
of the problems. Add a basic level of such functionality, similar to the
numa= command-line parameter. We already have a toggle in
/proc/powerpc/topology_updates that allows run-time enabling/disabling,
so the updates can be started at run-time if desired. But the bugs we've
run into have occured during boot or very shortly after coming to login,
and have resulted in a broken NUMA topology.

<title>Input: i8042 - disable active multiplexing by default</title>

<id>68da166491655bc54051bf04c78ce648e2e33508</id>
<content type='text'>
Active multiplexing is a nice feature as it allows several pointing devices
(such as touchpad and external mouse) use their native protocols at the
same time. Unfortunately many manufacturers do not implement the feature
properly even though they advertise it. The problematic implementations are
never fixed, since Windows by default does not use this mode, and move from
one BIOS/model of laptop to another. When active multiplexing is broken
turning it on usually results in touchpad, keyboard, or both unresponsive.

With PS/2 usage on decline (most of PS/2 devices in use nowadays are
internal laptop touchpads), I expect number of users who have laptops with
working MUX implementation, docking stations with external PS/2 ports, and
who are still using external PS/2 mice, to be rather small. Let's flip the
default to be OFF and allow activating it through i8042.nomux=0 kernel
option.  We'll also keep DMI table where we can record known good models.

It isn't obvious that CMA can be disabled on the kernel's command line, so
document it.
