Pull more power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "A few more fixes and cleanups in the x86-64 low-level hibernation
  code, PM core, cpufreq (Kconfig and intel_pstate), and the operating
  points framework.

  Specifics:

   - Prevent the low-level assembly hibernate code on x86-64 from
     referring to __PAGE_OFFSET directly as a symbol which doesn't work
     when the kernel identity mapping base is randomized, in which case
     __PAGE_OFFSET is a variable (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Avoid selecting CPU_FREQ_STAT by default as the statistics are not
     required for proper cpufreq operation (Borislav Petkov).

   - Add Skylake-X and Broadwell-X IDs to the intel_pstate's list of
     processors where out-of-band (OBB) control of P-states is possible
     and if that is in use, intel_pstate should not attempt to manage
     P-states (Srinivas Pandruvada).

   - Drop some unnecessary checks from the wakeup IRQ handling code in
     the PM core (Markus Elfring).

   - Reduce the number operating performance point (OPP) lookups in one
     of the OPP framework's helper functions (Jisheng Zhang)"

firmware: support loading into a pre-allocated buffer

2016-08-02T23:35:10+00:00

Some systems are memory constrained but they need to load very large
firmwares.  The firmware subsystem allows drivers to request this
firmware be loaded from the filesystem, but this requires that the
entire firmware be loaded into kernel memory first before it's provided
to the driver.  This can lead to a situation where we map the firmware
twice, once to load the firmware into kernel memory and once to copy the
firmware into the final resting place.

This creates needless memory pressure and delays loading because we have
to copy from kernel memory to somewhere else.  Let's add a
request_firmware_into_buf() API that allows drivers to request firmware
be loaded directly into a pre-allocated buffer.  This skips the
intermediate step of allocating a buffer in kernel memory to hold the
firmware image while it's read from the filesystem.  It also requires
that drivers know how much memory they'll require before requesting the
firmware and negates any benefits of firmware caching because the
firmware layer doesn't manage the buffer lifetime.

For a 16MB buffer, about half the time is spent performing a memcpy from
the buffer to the final resting place.  I see loading times go from
0.081171 seconds to 0.047696 seconds after applying this patch.  Plus
the vmalloc pressure is reduced.

This is based on a patch from Vikram Mulukutla on codeaurora.org:
  https://www.codeaurora.org/cgit/quic/la/kernel/msm-3.18/commit/drivers/base/firmware_class.c?h=rel/msm-3.18&id=0a328c5f6cd999f5c591f172216835636f39bcb5

firmware: provide infrastructure to make fw caching optional

2016-08-02T23:35:09+00:00

Some low memory systems with complex peripherals cannot afford to have
the relatively large firmware images taking up valuable memory during
suspend and resume.  Change the internal implementation of
firmware_class to disallow caching based on a configurable option.  In
the near future, variants of request_firmware will take advantage of
this feature.

firmware: consolidate kmap/read/write logic

2016-08-02T23:35:09+00:00

Some systems are memory constrained but they need to load very large
firmwares.  The firmware subsystem allows drivers to request this
firmware be loaded from the filesystem, but this requires that the
entire firmware be loaded into kernel memory first before it's provided
to the driver.  This can lead to a situation where we map the firmware
twice, once to load the firmware into kernel memory and once to copy the
firmware into the final resting place.

This design creates needless memory pressure and delays loading because
we have to copy from kernel memory to somewhere else.  This patch sets
adds support to the request firmware API to load the firmware directly
into a pre-allocated buffer, skipping the intermediate copying step and
alleviating memory pressure during firmware loading.  The drawback is
that we can't use the firmware caching feature because the memory for
the firmware cache is not managed by the firmware layer.

This patch (of 3):

We use similar structured code to read and write the kmapped firmware
pages.  The only difference is read copies from the kmap region and
write copies to it.  Consolidate this into one function to reduce
duplication.

treewide: replace obsolete _refok by __ref

2016-08-02T21:31:41+00:00

There was only one use of __initdata_refok and __exit_refok

__init_refok was used 46 times against 82 for __ref.

Those definitions are obsolete since commit 312b1485fb50 ("Introduce new
section reference annotations tags: __ref, __refdata, __refconst")

This patch removes the following compatibility definitions and replaces
them treewide.

/* compatibility defines */
#define __init_refok     __ref
#define __initdata_refok __refdata
#define __exit_refok     __ref

I can also provide separate patches if necessary.
(One patch per tree and check in 1 month or 2 to remove old definitions)

Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
 "The majority of this update is about ASoC, including a few new
  drivers, and the rest are mostly minor changes.  The only substantial
  change in ALSA core is about the additional error handling in the
  compress-offload API.  Below are highlights:

   - Add the error propagating support in compress-offload API

   - HD-audio: a usual Dell headset fixup, an Intel HDMI/DP fix, and the
     default mixer setup change ot turn off the loopback

   - Lots of updates for ASoC Intel drivers, mostly board support and
     bug fixing, and to the NAU8825 driver

   - Work on generalizing bits of simple-card to allow more code sharing
     with the Renesas rsrc-card (which can't use simple-card due to DPCM)

   - Removal of the Odroid X2 driver due to replacement with simple-card

   - Support for several new Mediatek platforms and associated boards

   - New ASoC drivers for Allwinner A10, Analog Devices ADAU7002,
     Broadcom Cygnus, Cirrus Logic CS35L33 and CS53L30, Maxim MAX8960
     and MAX98504, Realtek RT5514 and Wolfson WM8758"

mm: track NR_KERNEL_STACK in KiB instead of number of stacks

2016-07-28T23:07:41+00:00

Currently, NR_KERNEL_STACK tracks the number of kernel stacks in a zone.
This only makes sense if each kernel stack exists entirely in one zone,
and allowing vmapped stacks could break this assumption.

Since frv has THREAD_SIZE < PAGE_SIZE, we need to track kernel stack
allocations in a unit that divides both THREAD_SIZE and PAGE_SIZE on all
architectures.  Keep it simple and use KiB.

mm: move most file-based accounting to the node

2016-07-28T23:07:41+00:00

There are now a number of accounting oddities such as mapped file pages
being accounted for on the node while the total number of file pages are
accounted on the zone.  This can be coped with to some extent but it's
confusing so this patch moves the relevant file-based accounted.  Due to
throttling logic in the page allocator for reliable OOM detection, it is
still necessary to track dirty and writeback pages on a per-zone basis.
