* 'drm-next-merged' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux: (9717 commits)
  media-bus: Fixup RGB444_1X12, RGB565_1X16, and YUV8_1X24 media bus format
  hexdump: avoid warning in test function
  fs: take i_mutex during prepare_binprm for set[ug]id executables
  smp: Fix error case handling in smp_call_function_*()
  iommu-common: Fix PARISC compile-time warnings
  sparc: Make LDC use common iommu poll management functions
  sparc: Make sparc64 use scalable lib/iommu-common.c functions
  Break up monolithic iommu table/lock into finer graularity pools and lock
  sparc: Revert generic IOMMU allocator.
  tools/power turbostat: correct dumped pkg-cstate-limit value
  tools/power turbostat: calculate TSC frequency from CPUID(0x15) on SKL
  tools/power turbostat: correct DRAM RAPL units on recent Xeon processors
  tools/power turbostat: Initial Skylake support
  tools/power turbostat: Use $(CURDIR) instead of $(PWD) and add support for O= option in Makefile
  tools/power turbostat: modprobe msr, if needed
  tools/power turbostat: dump MSR_TURBO_RATIO_LIMIT2
  tools/power turbostat: use new MSR_TURBO_RATIO_LIMIT names
  Bluetooth: hidp: Fix regression with older userspace and flags validation
  config: Enable NEED_DMA_MAP_STATE by default when SWIOTLB is selected
  perf/x86/intel/pt: Fix and clean up error handling in pt_event_add()
  ...

That solves several merge conflicts:
	Documentation/DocBook/media/v4l/subdev-formats.xml
	Documentation/devicetree/bindings/vendor-prefixes.txt
	drivers/staging/media/mn88473/mn88473.c
	include/linux/kconfig.h
	include/uapi/linux/media-bus-format.h

The ones at subdev-formats.xml and media-bus-format.h are not trivial.
That's why we opted to merge from DRM.

Fixes: 817bd7253291 ("dma-buf: cleanup dma_buf_export() to make it

Stupid copy-paste from me in the above patch leads to the following static
checker warning:

        drivers/staging/android/ion/ion.c:1112 ion_share_dma_buf()
        error: potentially dereferencing uninitialized 'buffer'.

  1104                                                  struct
ion_handle *handle)
  1105  {
  1106          struct ion_buffer *buffer;
                                   ^^^^^^

  1112          exp_info.size = buffer-&gt;size;
                                ^^^^^^
  1113          exp_info.flags = O_RDWR;
  1114          exp_info.priv = buffer;
                                ^^^^^^
And here also.

  1115

This patch corrects this stupidity.

At present, dma_buf_export() takes a series of parameters, which
makes it difficult to add any new parameters for exporters, if required.

Make it simpler by moving all these parameters into a struct, and pass
the struct * as parameter to dma_buf_export().

While at it, unite dma_buf_export_named() with dma_buf_export(), and
change all callers accordingly.

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
 "This is the main pull request for MIPS for Linux 4.1.  Most
  noteworthy:

   - Add more Octeon-optimized crypto functions
   - Octeon crypto preemption and locking fixes
   - Little endian support for Octeon
   - Use correct CSR to soft reset Octeons
   - Support LEDs on the Octeon-based DSR-1000N
   - Fix PCI interrupt mapping for the Octeon-based DSR-1000N
   - Mark prom_free_prom_memory() as __init for a number of systems
   - Support for Imagination's Pistachio SOC.  This includes arch and
     CLK bits.  I'd like to merge pinctrl bits later
   - Improve parallelism of csum_partial for certain pipelines
   - Organize DTB files in subdirs like other architectures
   - Implement read_sched_clock for all MIPS platforms other than
     Octeon
   - Massive series of 38 fixes and cleanups for the FPU emulator /
     kernel
   - Further FPU remulator work to support new features.  This sits on a
     separate branch which also has been pulled into the 4.1 KVM branch
   - Clean up and fixes for the SEAD3 eval board; remove unused file
   - Various updates for Netlogic platforms
   - A number of small updates for Loongson 3 platforms
   - Increase the memory limit for ATH79 platforms to 256MB
   - A fair number of fixes and updates for BCM47xx platforms
   - Finish the implementation of XPA support
   - MIPS FDC support.  No, not floppy controller but Fast Debug Channel :)
   - Detect the R16000 used in SGI legacy platforms
   - Fix Kconfig dependencies for the SSB bus support"

<title>kernel: conditionally support non-root users, groups and capabilities</title>
<updated>2015-04-15T23:35:22+00:00</updated>

<id>2813893f8b197a14f1e1ddb04d99bce46817c84a</id>
<content type='text'>
There are a lot of embedded systems that run most or all of their
functionality in init, running as root:root.  For these systems,
supporting multiple users is not necessary.

This patch adds a new symbol, CONFIG_MULTIUSER, that makes support for
non-root users, non-root groups, and capabilities optional.  It is enabled
under CONFIG_EXPERT menu.

When this symbol is not defined, UID and GID are zero in any possible case
and processes always have all capabilities.

The following syscalls are compiled out: setuid, setregid, setgid,
setreuid, setresuid, getresuid, setresgid, getresgid, setgroups,
getgroups, setfsuid, setfsgid, capget, capset.

Also, groups.c is compiled out completely.

In kernel/capability.c, capable function was moved in order to avoid
adding two ifdef blocks.

This change saves about 25 KB on a defconfig build.  The most minimal
kernels have total text sizes in the high hundreds of kB rather than
low MB.  (The 25k goes down a bit with allnoconfig, but not that much.

The kernel was booted in Qemu.  All the common functionalities work.
Adding users/groups is not possible, failing with -ENOSYS.

Bloat-o-meter output:
add/remove: 7/87 grow/shrink: 19/397 up/down: 1675/-26325 (-24650)
