Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
 "This is the main pull request for MIPS for 4.5 plus some 4.4 fixes.

  The executive summary:

   - ATH79 platform improvments, use DT bindings for the ATH79 USB PHY.
   - Avoid useless rebuilds for zboot.
   - jz4780: Add NEMC, BCH and NAND device tree nodes
   - Initial support for the MicroChip's DT platform.  As all the device
     drivers are missing this is still of limited use.
   - Some Loongson3 cleanups.
   - The unavoidable whitespace polishing.
   - Reduce clock skew when synchronizing the CPU cycle counters on CPU
     startup.
   - Add MIPS R6 fixes.
   - Lots of cleanups across arch/mips as fallout from KVM.
   - Lots of minor fixes and changes for IEEE 754-2008 support to the
     FPU emulator / fp-assist software.
   - Minor Ralink, BCM47xx and bcm963xx platform support improvments.
   - Support SMP on BCM63168"

<title>mm: memcontrol: allow to disable kmem accounting for cgroup2</title>

Kmem accounting might incur overhead that some users can't put up with.
Besides, the implementation is still considered unstable.  So let's
provide a way to disable it for those users who aren't happy with it.

To disable kmem accounting for cgroup2, pass cgroup.memory=nokmem at
boot time.

<title>MIPS: Add IEEE Std 754 conformance mode selection</title>

<id>503943e0e52bd3fbf014aa1d838ced37adb43121</id>
<content type='text'>
Add an `ieee754=' kernel parameter to control IEEE Std 754 conformance
mode.

Use separate flags copied from the respective CPU feature flags, and
adjusted according to the conformance mode selected, to make binaries
requesting individual NaN encoding modes accepted or rejected as needed.
Update the initial setting for FCSR and, in the full FPU emulation mode,
its read-only mask accordingly.  Accept the mode selection requested for
legacy processors as well.

As with the EF_MIPS_NAN2008 ELF file header flag adjust both ABS2008 and
NAN2008 bits at the same time, to match the choice made for hardware
currently implemented.

<title>mm: memcontrol: account socket memory in unified hierarchy memory controller</title>
<updated>2016-01-15T00:00:49+00:00</updated>

<id>f7e1cb6ec51b041335b5ad4dd7aefb37a56d79a6</id>
<content type='text'>
Socket memory can be a significant share of overall memory consumed by
common workloads.  In order to provide reasonable resource isolation in
the unified hierarchy, this type of memory needs to be included in the
tracking/accounting of a cgroup under active memory resource control.

Overhead is only incurred when a non-root control group is created AND
the memory controller is instructed to track and account the memory
footprint of that group.  cgroup.memory=nosocket can be specified on the
boot commandline to override any runtime configuration and forcibly
exclude socket memory from active memory resource control.

Socket memory can be a significant share of overall memory consumed by
common workloads.  In order to provide reasonable resource isolation in
the unified hierarchy, this type of memory needs to be included in the
tracking/accounting of a cgroup under active memory resource control.

Overhead is only incurred when a non-root control group is created AND
the memory controller is instructed to track and account the memory
footprint of that group.  cgroup.memory=nosocket can be specified on the
boot commandline to override any runtime configuration and forcibly
exclude socket memory from active memory resource control.

<title>Documentation: Explain pci=conf1,conf2 more verbosely</title>

People complained that setting the PCI config space access mechanism
through "pci=conf1" or "pci=conf2" on the command line is not really
documented. Yeah, can you blame them? Look at what we have now.

So try to improve the situation a bit by explaining what those "conf1"
and "conf2" things actually mean.

See http://wiki.osdev.org/PCI for more info.

  Workqueue now has a stall detector which dumps workqueue state if any
  worker pool hasn't made forward progress over a certain amount of time
  (30s by default) and also triggers a warning if a workqueue which can
  be used in memory reclaim path tries to wait on something which can't
  be.

  These should make workqueue hangs a lot easier to debug."
