KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler.
This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.

Move the definition of __irq_entry to &lt;linux/interrupt.h&gt; so that the
users don't need to pull in &lt;linux/ftrace.h&gt;.  Also introduce the
__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.

Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature
  that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys).

  There's a background article at LWN.net:

      https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/

  The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of
  user-controllable permission masks in the pte.  So instead of having a
  fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change
  and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of)
  protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively
  cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected
  virtual memory range.

  This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large
  amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions.  It also
  allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the
  executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that
  below).

  This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for
  that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys -
  if a user-space application calls:

        mmap(..., PROT_EXEC);

  or

        mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC);

  (note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice
  this special case, and will set a special protection key on this
  memory range.  It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection
  Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable
  and unwritable.

  So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true'
  PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies
  PROT_READ as well.  Unreadable executable mappings have security
  advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out
  ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they
  cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either.

  We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC
  mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new
  feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion.

  There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system
  call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this
  pull request.

  Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature
  (CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled
  (like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime
  overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment.  If there's
  any serious problem with this then we can make it configurable and/or
  flip the default"

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
 "Highlights:

   1) Support more Realtek wireless chips, from Jes Sorenson.

   2) New BPF types for per-cpu hash and arrap maps, from Alexei
      Starovoitov.

   3) Make several TCP sysctls per-namespace, from Nikolay Borisov.

   4) Allow the use of SO_REUSEPORT in order to do per-thread processing
   of incoming TCP/UDP connections.  The muxing can be done using a
   BPF program which hashes the incoming packet.  From Craig Gallek.

   5) Add a multiplexer for TCP streams, to provide a messaged based
      interface.  BPF programs can be used to determine the message
      boundaries.  From Tom Herbert.

   6) Add 802.1AE MACSEC support, from Sabrina Dubroca.

   7) Avoid factorial complexity when taking down an inetdev interface
      with lots of configured addresses.  We were doing things like
      traversing the entire address less for each address removed, and
      flushing the entire netfilter conntrack table for every address as

  11) Extend ethtool so that larger link mode masks can be supported.

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
 "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for kernel v4.6.  There is quite a
  lot of interesting stuff going on.

  The patches to other subsystems and arch-wide are ACKed as far as
  possible, though I consider things like per-arch &lt;asm/gpio.h&gt; as
  essentially a part of the GPIO subsystem so it should not be needed.

  Core changes:

   - The gpio_chip is now a *real device*.  Until now the gpio chips
     were just piggybacking the parent device or (gasp) floating in
     space outside of the device model.

     We now finally make GPIO chips devices.  The gpio_chip will create
     a gpio_device which contains a struct device, and this gpio_device
     struct is kept private.  Anything that needs to be kept private
     from the rest of the kernel will gradually be moved over to the
     gpio_device.

   - As a result of making the gpio_device a real device, we have added
     resource management, so devm_gpiochip_add_data() will cut down on
     overhead and reduce code lines.  A huge slew of patches convert
     almost all drivers in the subsystem to use this.

   - Building on making the GPIO a real device, we add the first step of
     a new userspace ABI: the GPIO character device.  We take small
     steps here, so we first add a pure *information* ABI and the tool
     "lsgpio" that will list all GPIO devices on the system and all
     lines on these devices.

     We can now discover GPIOs properly from userspace.  We still have
     not come up with a way to actually *use* GPIOs from userspace.

   - To encourage people to use the character device for the future, we
     have it always-enabled when using GPIO.  The old sysfs ABI is still
     opt-in (and can be used in parallel), but is marked as deprecated.

     We will keep it around for the foreseeable future, but it will not
     be extended to cover ever more use cases.

  Cleanup:

   - Bjorn Helgaas removed a whole slew of per-architecture &lt;asm/gpio.h&gt;
     includes.

     This dates back to when GPIO was an opt-in feature and no shared
     library even existed: just a header file with proper prototypes was
     provided and all semantics were up to the arch to implement.  These
     patches make the GPIO chip even more a proper device and cleans out
     leftovers of the old in-kernel API here and there.

     Still some cruft is left but it's very little now.

   - There is still some clamping of return values for .get() going on,
     but we now return sane values in the vast majority of drivers and
     the errorpath is sanitized.  Some patches for powerpc, blackfin and
     unicore still drop in.

   - We continue to switch the ARM, MIPS, blackfin, m68k local GPIO
     implementations to use gpiochip_add_data() and cut down on code
     lines.

   - MPC8xxx is converted to use the generic GPIO helpers.

   - ATH79 is converted to use the generic GPIO helpers.

  New drivers:

   - WinSystems WS16C48

   - Acces 104-DIO-48E

   - F81866 (a F7188x variant)

   - Qoric (a MPC8xxx variant)

   - TS-4800

   - SPI serializers (pisosr): simple 74xx shift registers connected to
     SPI to obtain a dirt-cheap output-only GPIO expander.

   - Texas Instruments TPIC2810

   - Texas Instruments TPS65218

   - Texas Instruments TPS65912

<title>mm: introduce page reference manipulation functions</title>

<content type='text'>
The success of CMA allocation largely depends on the success of
migration and key factor of it is page reference count.  Until now, page
reference is manipulated by direct calling atomic functions so we cannot
follow up who and where manipulate it.  Then, it is hard to find actual
reason of CMA allocation failure.  CMA allocation should be guaranteed
to succeed so finding offending place is really important.

In this patch, call sites where page reference is manipulated are
converted to introduced wrapper function.  This is preparation step to
add tracepoint to each page reference manipulation function.  With this
facility, we can easily find reason of CMA allocation failure.  There is
no functional change in this patch.

In addition, this patch also converts reference read sites.  It will
help a second step that renames page._count to something else and
prevents later attempt to direct access to it (Suggested by Andrew).

The success of CMA allocation largely depends on the success of
migration and key factor of it is page reference count.  Until now, page
reference is manipulated by direct calling atomic functions so we cannot
follow up who and where manipulate it.  Then, it is hard to find actual
reason of CMA allocation failure.  CMA allocation should be guaranteed
to succeed so finding offending place is really important.

In this patch, call sites where page reference is manipulated are
converted to introduced wrapper function.  This is preparation step to
add tracepoint to each page reference manipulation function.  With this
facility, we can easily find reason of CMA allocation failure.  There is
no functional change in this patch.

In addition, this patch also converts reference read sites.  It will
help a second step that renames page._count to something else and
prevents later attempt to direct access to it (Suggested by Andrew).
