Pull more ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These are fixups on top of the previous PM+ACPI pull request,
  regression fixes (ACPI hotplug, cpufreq ppc-corenet), other bug fixes
  (ACPI reset, cpufreq), new PM trace points for system suspend
  profiling and a copyright notice update.

  Specifics:

   - I didn't remember correctly that the Hans de Goede's ACPI video
     patches actually didn't flip the video.use_native_backlight
     default, although we had discussed that and decided to do that.
     Since I said we would do that in the previous PM+ACPI pull request,
     make that change for real now.

   - ACPI bus check notifications for PCI host bridges don't cause the
     bus below the host bridge to be checked for changes as they should
     because of a mistake in the ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP)
     subsystem that forgets to add hotplug contexts to PCI host bridge
     ACPI device objects.  Create hotplug contexts for PCI host bridges
     too as appropriate.

   - Revert recent cpufreq commit related to the big.LITTLE cpufreq
     driver that breaks arm64 builds.

   - Fix for a regression in the ppc-corenet cpufreq driver introduced
     during the 3.15 cycle and causing the driver to use the remainder
     from do_div instead of the quotient.  From Ed Swarthout.

   - Resets triggered by panic activate a BUG_ON() in vmalloc.c on
     systems where the ACPI reset register is located in memory address
     space.  Fix from Randy Wright.

   - Fix for a problem with cpufreq governors that decisions made by
     them may be suboptimal due to the fact that deferrable timers are
     used by them for CPU load sampling.  From Srivatsa S Bhat.

   - Fix for a problem with the Tegra cpufreq driver where the CPU
     frequency is temporarily switched to a "stable" level that is
     different from both the initial and target frequencies during
     transitions which causes udelay() to expire earlier than it should
     sometimes.  From Viresh Kumar.

   - New trace points and rework of some existing trace points for
     system suspend/resume profiling from Todd Brandt.

   - Assorted cpufreq fixes and cleanups from Stratos Karafotis and
     Viresh Kumar.

   - Copyright notice update for suspend-and-cpuhotplug.txt from
     Srivatsa S Bhat"

Adds two trace events which supply the same info that initcall_debug
provides, but via ftrace instead of dmesg. The existing initcall_debug
calls require the pm_print_times_enabled var to be set (either via
sysfs or via the kernel cmd line). The new trace events provide all the
same info as the initcall_debug prints but with less overhead, and also
with coverage of device prepare and complete device callbacks.

These events replace the device_pm_report_time event (which has been
removed). device_pm_callback_start is called first and provides the device
and callback info. device_pm_callback_end is called after with the
device name and error info. The time and pid are gathered from the trace
data headers.

Adds trace events that give finer resolution into suspend/resume. These
events are graphed in the timelines generated by the analyze_suspend.py
script. They represent large areas of time consumed that are typical to
suspend and resume.

The event is triggered by calling the function "trace_suspend_resume"
with three arguments: a string (the name of the event to be displayed
in the timeline), an integer (case specific number, such as the power
state or cpu number), and a boolean (where true is used to denote the start
of the timeline event, and false to denote the end).

The suspend_resume trace event reproduces the data that the machine_suspend
trace event did, so the latter has been removed.

Some systems require a larger maximum PAGE_SIZE order for CMA allocations.
 To accommodate such systems, increase the upper-bound of the
CMA_ALIGNMENT range to 12 (which ends up being 16MB on systems with 4K
pages).

<title>memory-hotplug: update documentation to hide information about SECTIONS and remove end_phys_index</title>

<content type='text'>
Seems we all agree that information about SECTION, e.g. section size,
sections per memory block should be kept as kernel internals, and not
exposed to userspace.

This patch updates Documentation/memory-hotplug.txt to refer to memory
blocks instead of memory sections where appropriate and added a
paragraph to explain that memory blocks are made of memory sections.
The documentation update is mostly provided by Nathan.

Also, as end_phys_index in code is actually not the end section id, but
the end memory block id, which should always be the same as phys_index.
So it is removed here.

<title>cma: add placement specifier for "cma=" kernel parameter</title>

<id>5ea3b1b2f8ad9162684431ce6188102ca4c64b7a</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, "cma=" kernel parameter is used to specify the size of CMA,
but we can't specify where it is located.  We want to locate CMA below
4GB for devices only supporting 32-bit addressing on 64-bit systems
without iommu.

This enables to specify the placement of CMA by extending "cma=" kernel
parameter.

Examples:
 1. locate 64MB CMA below 4GB by "cma=64M@0-4G"
 2. locate 64MB CMA exact at 512MB by "cma=64M@512M"

Note that the DMA contiguous memory allocator on x86 assumes that
page_address() works for the pages to allocate.  So this change requires
to limit end address of contiguous memory area upto max_pfn_mapped to
prevent from locating it on highmem area by the argument of
dma_contiguous_reserve().

Pull DeviceTree updates from Rob Herring:
 - Another round of clean-up of FDT related code in architecture code.
   This removes knowledge of internal FDT details from most
   architectures except powerpc.
 - Conversion of kernel's custom FDT parsing code to use libfdt.
 - DT based initialization for generic serial earlycon.  The
   introduction of generic serial earlycon support went in through the
   tty tree.
 - Improve the platform device naming for DT probed devices to ensure
   unique naming and use parent names instead of a global index.
 - Fix a race condition in of_update_property.
 - Unify the various linker section OF match tables and fix several
   function prototype errors.
 - Update platform_get_irq_byname to work in deferred probe cases.
 - 2 binding doc updates

Pull DeviceTree updates from Rob Herring:
 - Another round of clean-up of FDT related code in architecture code.
   This removes knowledge of internal FDT details from most
   architectures except powerpc.
 - Conversion of kernel's custom FDT parsing code to use libfdt.
 - DT based initialization for generic serial earlycon.  The
   introduction of generic serial earlycon support went in through the
   tty tree.
 - Improve the platform device naming for DT probed devices to ensure
   unique naming and use parent names instead of a global index.
 - Fix a race condition in of_update_property.
 - Unify the various linker section OF match tables and fix several
   function prototype errors.
 - Update platform_get_irq_byname to work in deferred probe cases.
 - 2 binding doc updates

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "ACPICA is the leader this time (63 commits), followed by cpufreq (28
  commits), devfreq (15 commits), system suspend/hibernation (12
  commits), ACPI video and ACPI device enumeration (10 commits each).

  We have no major new features this time, but there are a few
  significant changes of how things work.  The most visible one will
  probably be that we are now going to create platform devices rather
  than PNP devices by default for ACPI device objects with _HID.  That
  was long overdue and will be really necessary to be able to use the
  same drivers for the same hardware blocks on ACPI and DT-based systems
  going forward.  We're not expecting fallout from this one (as usual),
  but it's something to watch nevertheless.

  The second change having a chance to be visible is that ACPI video
  will now default to using native backlight rather than the ACPI
  backlight interface which should generally help systems with broken
  Win8 BIOSes.  We're hoping that all problems with the native backlight
  handling that we had previously have been addressed and we are in a
  good enough shape to flip the default, but this change should be easy
  enough to revert if need be.

  In addition to that, the system suspend core has a new mechanism to
  allow runtime-suspended devices to stay suspended throughout system
  suspend/resume transitions if some extra conditions are met
  (generally, they are related to coordination within device hierarchy).
  However, enabling this feature requires cooperation from the bus type
  layer and for now it has only been implemented for the ACPI PM domain
  (used by ACPI-enumerated platform devices mostly today).

  Also, the acpidump utility that was previously shipped as a separate
  tool will now be provided by the upstream ACPICA along with the rest
  of ACPICA code, which will allow it to be more up to date and better
  supported, and we have one new cpuidle driver (ARM clps711x).

  The rest is improvements related to certain specific use cases,
  cleanups and fixes all over the place.

  Specifics:

   - ACPICA update to upstream version 20140424.  That includes a number
     of fixes and improvements related to things like GPE handling,
     table loading, headers, memory mapping and unmapping, DSDT/SSDT
     overriding, and the Unload() operator.  The acpidump utility from
     upstream ACPICA is included too.  From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, David
     Box, David Binderman, and Colin Ian King.

   - Fixes and cleanups related to ACPI video and backlight interfaces
     from Hans de Goede.  That includes blacklist entries for some new
     machines and using native backlight by default.

   - ACPI device enumeration changes to create platform devices rather
     than PNP devices for ACPI device objects with _HID by default.  PNP
     devices will still be created for the ACPI device object with
     device IDs corresponding to real PNP devices, so that change should
     not break things left and right, and we're expecting to see more
     and more ACPI-enumerated platform devices in the future.  From
     Zhang Rui and Rafael J Wysocki.

   - Updates for the ACPI LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver allowing it
     to handle system suspend/resume on Asus T100 correctly.  From
     Heikki Krogerus and Rafael J Wysocki.

   - PM core update introducing a mechanism to allow runtime-suspended
     devices to stay suspended over system suspend/resume transitions if
     certain additional conditions related to coordination within device
     hierarchy are met.  Related PM documentation update and ACPI PM
     domain support for the new feature.  From Rafael J Wysocki.

   - Fixes and improvements related to the "freeze" sleep state.  They
     affect several places including cpuidle, PM core, ACPI core, and
     the ACPI battery driver.  From Rafael J Wysocki and Zhang Rui.

   - Miscellaneous fixes and updates of the ACPI core from Aaron Lu,
     Bjørn Mork, Hanjun Guo, Lan Tianyu, and Rafael J Wysocki.

   - Fixes and cleanups for the ACPI processor and ACPI PAD (Processor
     Aggregator Device) drivers from Baoquan He, Manuel Schölling, Tony
     Camuso, and Toshi Kani.

   - System suspend/resume optimization in the ACPI battery driver from
     Lan Tianyu.

   - OPP (Operating Performance Points) subsystem updates from Chander
     Kashyap, Mark Brown, and Nishanth Menon.

   - cpufreq core fixes, updates and cleanups from Srivatsa S Bhat,
     Stratos Karafotis, and Viresh Kumar.

   - Updates, fixes and cleanups for the Tegra, powernow-k8, imx6q,
     s5pv210, nforce2, and powernv cpufreq drivers from Brian Norris,
     Jingoo Han, Paul Bolle, Philipp Zabel, Stratos Karafotis, and
     Viresh Kumar.

   - intel_pstate driver fixes and cleanups from Dirk Brandewie, Doug
     Smythies, and Stratos Karafotis.

   - Enabling the big.LITTLE cpufreq driver on arm64 from Mark Brown.

   - Fix for the cpuidle menu governor from Chander Kashyap.

   - New ARM clps711x cpuidle driver from Alexander Shiyan.

   - Hibernate core fixes and cleanups from Chen Gang, Dan Carpenter,
     Fabian Frederick, Pali Rohár, and Sebastian Capella.

   - Intel RAPL (Running Average Power Limit) driver updates from Jacob
     Pan.

   - PNP subsystem updates from Bjorn Helgaas and Fabian Frederick.

   - devfreq core updates from Chanwoo Choi and Paul Bolle.

   - devfreq updates for exynos4 and exynos5 from Chanwoo Choi and
     Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz.

   - turbostat tool fix from Jean Delvare.

   - cpupower tool updates from Prarit Bhargava, Ramkumar Ramachandra
     and Thomas Renninger.

   - New ACPI ec_access.c tool for poking at the EC in a safe way from
     Thomas Renninger"
