<title>PCI / ACPI / PM: Clear pme_poll for devices in D3cold on wakeup</title>

Commit 448bd85 (PCI/PM: add PCIe runtime D3cold support) added a
piece of code to pci_acpi_wake_dev() causing that function to behave
in a special way for devices in D3cold (so that their configuration
registers are not accessed before those devices are resumed).
However, it didn't take the clearing of the pme_poll flag into
account.  That has to be done for all devices, even if they are in
D3cold, or pci_pme_list_scan() will not know that wakeup has been
signaled for the device and will poll its PME Status bit
unnecessarily.

Fix the problem by moving the clearing of the pme_poll flag in
pci_acpi_wake_dev() before the code introduced by commit 448bd85.

Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "All of these commits are fixes that have emerged recently and some of
  them fix bugs introduced during this merge window.

  Specifics:

   1) ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) fixes related to spurious events

      After the recent ACPIPHP changes we've seen some interesting
      breakage on a system that triggers device check notifications
      during boot for non-existing devices.  Although those
      notifications are really spurious, we should be able to deal with
      them nevertheless and that shouldn't introduce too much overhead.
      Four commits to make that work properly.

   2) Memory hotplug and hibernation mutual exclusion rework

      This was maent to be a cleanup, but it happens to fix a classical
      ABBA deadlock between system suspend/hibernation and ACPI memory
      hotplug which is possible if they are started roughly at the same
      time.  Three commits rework memory hotplug so that it doesn't
      acquire pm_mutex and make hibernation use device_hotplug_lock
      which prevents it from racing with memory hotplug.

   3) ACPI Intel LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver crash fix

      The ACPI LPSS driver crashes during boot on Apple Macbook Air with
      Haswell that has slightly unusual BIOS configuration in which one
      of the LPSS device's _CRS method doesn't return all of the
      information expected by the driver.  Fix from Mika Westerberg, for
      stable.

   4) ACPICA fix related to Store-&gt;ArgX operation

      AML interpreter fix for obscure breakage that causes AML to be
      executed incorrectly on some machines (observed in practice).
      From Bob Moore.

   5) ACPI core fix for PCI ACPI device objects lookup

      There still are cases in which there is more than one ACPI device
      object matching a given PCI device and we don't choose the one
      that the BIOS expects us to choose, so this makes the lookup take
      more criteria into account in those cases.

   6) Fix to prevent cpuidle from crashing in some rare cases

      If the result of cpuidle_get_driver() is NULL, which can happen on
      some systems, cpuidle_driver_ref() will crash trying to use that
      pointer and the Daniel Fu's fix prevents that from happening.

   7) cpufreq fixes related to CPU hotplug

      Stephen Boyd reported a number of concurrency problems with
      cpufreq related to CPU hotplug which are addressed by a series of
      fixes from Srivatsa S Bhat and Viresh Kumar.

   8) cpufreq fix for time conversion in time_in_state attribute

      Time conversion carried out by cpufreq when user space attempts to
      read /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state
      won't work correcty if cputime_t doesn't map directly to jiffies.
      Fix from Andreas Schwab.

   9) Revert of a troublesome cpufreq commit

      Commit 7c30ed5 (cpufreq: make sure frequency transitions are
      serialized) was intended to address some known concurrency
      problems in cpufreq related to the ordering of transitions, but
      unfortunately it introduced several problems of its own, so I
      decided to revert it now and address the original problems later
      in a more robust way.

  10) Intel Haswell CPU models for intel_pstate from Nell Hardcastle.

  11) cpufreq fixes related to system suspend/resume

      The recent cpufreq changes that made it preserve CPU sysfs
      attributes over suspend/resume cycles introduced a possible NULL
      pointer dereference that caused it to crash during the second
      attempt to suspend.  Three commits from Srivatsa S Bhat fix that
      problem and a couple of related issues.

  12) cpufreq locking fix

      cpufreq_policy_restore() should acquire the lock for reading, but
      it acquires it for writing.  Fix from Lan Tianyu"

In the current ACPIPHP notify handler we always go directly for a
rescan of the parent bus if we get a device check notification for
a device that is not a bridge.  However, this obviously is
overzealous if nothing really changes, because this way we may rescan
the whole PCI hierarchy pretty much in vain.

That happens on Alex Williamson's machine whose ACPI tables contain
device objects that are supposed to coresspond to PCIe root ports,
but those ports aren't physically present (or at least they aren't
visible in the PCI config space to us).  The BIOS generates multiple
device check notifies for those objects during boot and for each of
them we go straight for the parent bus rescan, but the parent bus is
the root bus in this particular case.  In consequence, we rescan the
whole PCI bus from the top several times in a row, which is
completely unnecessary, increases boot time by 50% (after previous
fixes) and generates excess dmesg output from the PCI subsystem.

Fix the problem by checking if we can find anything new in the
slot corresponding to the device we've got a device check notify
for and doing nothig if that's not the case.

The spec (ACPI 5.0, Section 5.6.6) appears to mandate this behavior,
as it says:

  Device Check. Used to notify OSPM that the device either appeared
  or disappeared. If the device has appeared, OSPM will re-enumerate
  from the parent. If the device has disappeared, OSPM will
  invalidate the state of the device. OSPM may optimize out
  re-enumeration.

Therefore, according to the spec, we are free to do nothing if
nothing changes.

<title>ACPI / hotplug / PCI: Use _OST to notify firmware about notify status</title>

The spec suggests that we should use _OST to notify the platform
about the status of notifications it sends us, for example so that
it doesn't repeate a notification that has been handled already.

This turns out to help reduce the amount of diagnostic output from
the ACPIPHP subsystem and speed up boot on at least one system that
generates multiple device check notifies for PCIe devices on the root
bus during boot.

Sometimes we may get a spurious device check or bus check notify for
a hotplug device and in those cases we should avoid doing all of the
configuration work needed when something actually changes.  To that
end, check the return value of pci_scan_slot() in enable_slot() and
bail out early if it is 0.

This turns out to help reduce the amount of diagnostic output from
the ACPIPHP subsystem and speed up boot on at least one system that
generates multiple device check notifies for PCIe devices on the root
bus during boot.

Pull ARM SoC platform changes from Olof Johansson:
 "This branch contains mostly additions and changes to platform
  enablement and SoC-level drivers.  Since there's sometimes a
  dependency on device-tree changes, there's also a fair amount of
  those in this branch.

  Pieces worth mentioning are:

   - Mbus driver for Marvell platforms, allowing kernel configuration
     and resource allocation of on-chip peripherals.
   - Enablement of the mbus infrastructure from Marvell PCI-e drivers.
   - Preparation of MSI support for Marvell platforms.
   - Addition of new PCI-e host controller driver for Tegra platforms
   - Some churn caused by sharing of macro names between i.MX 6Q and 6DL
     platforms in the device tree sources and header files.
   - Various suspend/PM updates for Tegra, including LP1 support.
   - Versatile Express support for MCPM, part of big little support.
   - Allwinner platform support for A20 and A31 SoCs (dual and quad
     Cortex-A7)
   - OMAP2+ support for DRA7, a new Cortex-A15-based SoC.

  The code that touches other architectures are patches moving MSI
  arch-specific functions over to weak symbols and removal of
  ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI, acked by PCI maintainers"

Pull networking changes from David Miller:
 "Noteworthy changes this time around:

   1) Multicast rejoin support for team driver, from Jiri Pirko.

   2) Centralize and simplify TCP RTT measurement handling in order to
      reduce the impact of bad RTO seeding from SYN/ACKs.  Also, when
      both timestamps and local RTT measurements are available prefer
      the later because there are broken middleware devices which
      scramble the timestamp.

      From Yuchung Cheng.

   3) Add TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option to limit the amount of kernel
      memory consumed to queue up unsend user data.  From Eric Dumazet.

   4) Add a "physical port ID" abstraction for network devices, from
      Jiri Pirko.

   5) Add a "suppress" operation to influence fib_rules lookups, from
      Stefan Tomanek.

   6) Add a networking development FAQ, from Paul Gortmaker.

   7) Extend the information provided by tcp_probe and add ipv6 support,
      from Daniel Borkmann.

   8) Use RCU locking more extensively in openvswitch data paths, from
      Pravin B Shelar.

   9) Add SCTP support to openvswitch, from Joe Stringer.

  10) Add EF10 chip support to SFC driver, from Ben Hutchings.

  11) Add new SYNPROXY netfilter target, from Patrick McHardy.

  12) Compute a rate approximation for sending in TCP sockets, and use
      this to more intelligently coalesce TSO frames.  Furthermore, add
      a new packet scheduler which takes advantage of this estimate when
      available.  From Eric Dumazet.

  13) Allow AF_PACKET fanouts with random selection, from Daniel
      Borkmann.

  14) Add ipv6 support to vxlan driver, from Cong Wang"

<title>ACPI / hotplug / PCI: Don't trim devices before scanning the namespace</title>

<content type='text'>
In acpiphp_bus_add() we first remove device objects corresponding to
the given handle and the ACPI namespace branch below it, which are
then re-created by acpi_bus_scan().  This used to be done to clean
up after surprise removals, but now we do the cleanup through
trim_stale_devices() which checks if the devices in question are
actually gone before removing them, so the device hierarchy trimming
in acpiphp_bus_add() is not necessary any more and, moreover, it may
lead to problems if it removes device objects corresponding to
devices that are actually present.

For this reason, remove the leftover acpiphp_bus_trim() from
acpiphp_bus_add().
