Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has
  appeared in a linux-next release.  The changes outside of the typical
  drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the
  removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and
  the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages().

  Summary:

   - Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
     mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
     kernel's direct map.

     This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page()
     operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in
     'struct block_device_operations').

     For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes
     from "System RAM".  Support for allocating the memmap from device
     memory will arrive in a later kernel.

   - Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
     ioremap_wt().  memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
     mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects.  The
     replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
     pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3.

     Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4.

   - Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
     driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
     persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.

   - Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
     cacheable to improve performance.

   - Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for
     issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
     'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
     ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
     fixes"

The PV driver xen-fbfront is only dealing with GFN and not MFN. Rename
all the occurence of MFN to GFN.

Also take the opportunity to replace to usage of pfn_to_gfn by
xen_page_to_gfn.

Based on include/xen/mm.h [1], Linux is mistakenly using MFN when GFN
is meant, I suspect this is because the first support for Xen was for
PV. This resulted in some misimplementation of helpers on ARM and
confused developers about the expected behavior.

For instance, with pfn_to_mfn, we expect to get an MFN based on the name.
Although, if we look at the implementation on x86, it's returning a GFN.

For clarity and avoid new confusion, replace any reference to mfn with
gfn in any helpers used by PV drivers. The x86 code will still keep some
reference of pfn_to_mfn which may be used by all kind of guests
No changes as been made in the hypercall field, even
though they may be invalid, in order to keep the same as the defintion
in xen repo.

Note that page_to_mfn has been renamed to xen_page_to_gfn to avoid a
name to close to the KVM function gfn_to_page.

Take also the opportunity to simplify simple construction such
as pfn_to_mfn(page_to_pfn(page)) into xen_page_to_gfn. More complex clean up
will come in follow-up patches.

Merge patch-bomb from Andrew Morton:

 - a few misc things

 - Andy's "ambient capabilities"

 - fs/nofity updates

 - the ocfs2 queue

 - kernel/watchdog.c updates and feature work.

 - some of MM.  Includes Andrea's userfaultfd feature.

[ Hadn't noticed that userfaultfd was 'default y' when applying the
  patches, so that got fixed in this merge instead.  We do _not_ mark
  new features that nobody uses yet 'default y'   - Linus ]

* emailed patches from Andrew Morton &lt;akpm@linux-foundation.org&gt;: (118 commits)
  mm/hugetlb.c: make vma_has_reserves() return bool
  mm/madvise.c: make madvise_behaviour_valid() return bool
  mm/memory.c: make tlb_next_batch() return bool
  mm/dmapool.c: change is_page_busy() return from int to bool
  mm: remove struct node_active_region
  mremap: simplify the "overlap" check in mremap_to()
  mremap: don't do uneccesary checks if new_len == old_len
  mremap: don't do mm_populate(new_addr) on failure
  mm: move -&gt;mremap() from file_operations to vm_operations_struct
  mremap: don't leak new_vma if f_op-&gt;mremap() fails
  mm/hugetlb.c: make vma_shareable() return bool
  mm: make GUP handle pfn mapping unless FOLL_GET is requested
  mm: fix status code which move_pages() returns for zero page
  mm: memcontrol: bring back the VM_BUG_ON() in mem_cgroup_swapout()
  genalloc: add support of multiple gen_pools per device
  genalloc: add name arg to gen_pool_get() and devm_gen_pool_create()
  mm/memblock: WARN_ON when nid differs from overlap region
  Documentation/features/vm: add feature description and arch support status for batched TLB flush after unmap
  mm: defer flush of writable TLB entries
  mm: send one IPI per CPU to TLB flush all entries after unmapping pages

<title>drivers/video/concole: add negative dependency for VGA_CONSOLE on ARC</title>
<updated>2015-09-04T23:54:41+00:00</updated>

<id>031e29b5877f31676739dc2f847d04c2c0732034</id>
<content type='text'>
Architectures which support VGA console must define screen_info
structurture from "uapi/linux/screen_info.h".  Otherwise undefined
symbol error occurs.  Usually it's defined in "setup.c" for each
architecture.

If an architecture does not support VGA console (ARC's case) there are 2
ways: define a dummy instance of screen_info or add a negative
dependency for VGA_CONSOLE in to prevent selecting this option.

I've implemented the second way.  However the best solution is to add
HAVE_VGA_CONSOLE option for targets which support VGA console.  Then
turn off VGA_CONSOLE by default and add dependency to HAVE_VGA_CONSOLE.
But right now it's better to just add a negative dependency for ARC and
then consider how to collaborate about this issue with maintainers of
other architectures.

Pull drm updates from Dave Airlie:
 "This is the main pull request for the drm for 4.3.  Nouveau is
  probably the biggest amount of changes in here, since it missed 4.2.
  Highlights below, along with the usual bunch of fixes.

  All stuff outside drm should have applicable acks.

  Highlights:

   - new drivers:
        freescale dcu kms driver

   - core:
        more atomic fixes
        disable some dri1 interfaces on kms drivers
        drop fb panic handling, this was just getting more broken, as more locking was required.
        new core fbdev Kconfig support - instead of each driver enable/disabling it
        struct_mutex cleanups

   - panel:
        more new panels
        cleanup Kconfig

   - i915:
        Skylake support enabled by default
        legacy modesetting using atomic infrastructure
        Skylake fixes
        GEN9 workarounds

   - amdgpu:
        Fiji support
        CGS support for amdgpu
        Initial GPU scheduler - off by default
        Lots of bug fixes and optimisations.

   - radeon:
        DP fixes
        misc fixes

   - amdkfd:
        Add Carrizo support for amdkfd using amdgpu.

   - nouveau:
        long pending cleanup to complete driver,
        fully bisectable which makes it larger,
        perfmon work
        more reclocking improvements
        maxwell displayport fixes

   - vmwgfx:
        new DX device support, supports OpenGL 3.3
        screen targets support

   - mgag200:
        G200eW support
        G200e new revision support

   - msm:
        dragonboard 410c support, msm8x94 support, msm8x74v1 support
        yuv format support
        dma plane support
        mdp5 rotation
        initial hdcp

   - sti:
        atomic support

   - exynos:
        lots of cleanups
        atomic modesetting/pageflipping support
        render node support

   - tegra:
        tegra210 support (dc, dsi, dp/hdmi)
        dpms with atomic modesetting support

   - atmel:
        support for 3 more atmel SoCs
        new input formats, PRIME support.

   - dwhdmi:
        preparing to add audio support

   - rockchip:
        yuv plane support"

* 'drm-next' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux: (1369 commits)
  drm/amdgpu: rename gmc_v8_0_init_compute_vmid
  drm/amdgpu: fix vce3 instance handling
  drm/amdgpu: remove ib test for the second VCE Ring
  drm/amdgpu: properly enable VM fault interrupts
  drm/amdgpu: fix warning in scheduler
  drm/amdgpu: fix buffer placement under memory pressure
  drm/amdgpu/cz: fix cz_dpm_update_low_memory_pstate logic
  drm/amdgpu: fix typo in dce11 watermark setup
  drm/amdgpu: fix typo in dce10 watermark setup
  drm/amdgpu: use top down allocation for non-CPU accessible vram
