Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
 "This is a pretty large update.  I think it is roughly as big as what I
  usually had for the _whole_ rc period.

  There are a few bad bugs where the guest can OOPS or crash the host.
  We have also started looking at attack models for nested
  virtualization; bugs that usually result in the guest ring 0 crashing
  itself become more worrisome if you have nested virtualization,
  because the nested guest might bring down the non-nested guest as
  well.  For current uses of nested virtualization these do not really
  have a security impact, but you never know and bugs are bugs
  nevertheless.

  A lot of these bugs are in 3.17 too, resulting in a large number of
  stable@ Ccs.  I checked that all the patches apply there with no
  conflicts"

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This is material that didn't make it to my 3.18-rc1 pull request for
various reasons, mostly related to timing and travel (LinuxCon EU /
LPC) plus a couple of fixes for recent bugs.

The only really new thing here is the PM QoS class for memory
bandwidth, but it is simple enough and users of it will be added in
the next cycle. One major change in behavior is that platform devices
enumerated by ACPI will use 32-bit DMA mask by default. Also included
is an ACPICA update to a new upstream release, but that's mostly
cleanups, changes in tools and similar. The rest is fixes and
cleanups mostly.

Specifics:

- Fix for a recent PCI power management change that overlooked the
fact that some IRQ chips might not be able to configure PCIe PME
for system wakeup from Lucas Stach.

- Fix for a bug introduced in 3.17 where acpi_device_wakeup() is
called with a wrong ordering of arguments from Zhang Rui.

- A bunch of intel_pstate driver fixes (all -stable candidates) from
Dirk Brandewie, Gabriele Mazzotta and Pali Rohár.

- Fixes for a rather long-standing problem with the OOM killer and
the freezer that frozen processes killed by the OOM do not actually
release any memory until they are thawed, so OOM-killing them is
rather pointless, with a couple of cleanups on top (Michal Hocko,
Cong Wang, Rafael J Wysocki).

- ACPICA update to upstream release 20140926, inlcuding mostly
cleanups reducing differences between the upstream ACPICA and the
kernel code, tools changes (acpidump, acpiexec) and support for the
_DDN object (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng).

- New PM QoS class for memory bandwidth from Tomeu Vizoso.

- Default 32-bit DMA mask for platform devices enumerated by ACPI
(this change is mostly needed for some drivers development in
progress targeted at 3.19) from Heikki Krogerus.

- ACPI EC driver cleanups, mostly related to debugging, from Lv
Zheng.

- cpufreq-dt driver updates from Thomas Petazzoni.

- powernv cpuidle driver update from Preeti U Murthy"

2014-10-24T18:21:43+00:00

Pull thermal management updates from Zhang Rui:
 "Sorry that I missed the merge window as there is a bug found in the
  last minute, and I have to fix it and wait for the code to be tested
  in linux-next tree for a few days.  Now the buggy patch has been
  dropped entirely from my next branch.  Thus I hope those changes can
  still be merged in 3.18-rc2 as most of them are platform thermal
  driver changes.

  Specifics:

   - introduce ACPI INT340X thermal drivers.

     Newer laptops and tablets may have thermal sensors and other
     devices with thermal control capabilities that are exposed for the
     OS to use via the ACPI INT340x device objects.  Several drivers are
     introduced to expose the temperature information and cooling
     ability from these objects to user-space via the normal thermal
     framework.

     From: Lu Aaron, Lan Tianyu, Jacob Pan and Zhang Rui.

   - introduce a new thermal governor, which just uses a hysteresis to
     switch abruptly on/off a cooling device.  This governor can be used
     to control certain fan devices that can not be throttled but just
     switched on or off.  From: Peter Feuerer.

   - introduce support for some new thermal interrupt functions on
     i.MX6SX, in IMX thermal driver.  From: Anson, Huang.

   - introduce tracing support on thermal framework.  From: Punit
     Agrawal.

   - small fixes in OF thermal and thermal step_wise governor"

kvm: vfio: fix unregister kvm_device_ops of vfio

2014-10-24T11:30:47+00:00

After commit 80ce163 (KVM: VFIO: register kvm_device_ops dynamically),
kvm_device_ops of vfio can be registered dynamically. Commit 3c3c29fd
(kvm-vfio: do not use module_init) move the dynamic register invoked by
kvm_init in order to fix broke unloading of the kvm module. However,
kvm_device_ops of vfio is unregistered after rmmod kvm-intel module
which lead to device type collision detection warning after kvm-intel
module reinsmod.

The bug can be reproduced by:

    rmmod kvm_intel.ko
    insmod kvm_intel.ko

without rmmod/insmod kvm.ko
This patch fixes the bug by unregistering kvm_device_ops of vfio when the
kvm-intel module is removed.

fs: limit filesystem stacking depth

2014-10-23T22:14:39+00:00

Add a simple read-only counter to super_block that indicates how deep this
is in the stack of filesystems.  Previously ecryptfs was the only stackable
filesystem and it explicitly disallowed multiple layers of itself.

Overlayfs, however, can be stacked recursively and also may be stacked
on top of ecryptfs or vice versa.

To limit the kernel stack usage we must limit the depth of the
filesystem stack.  Initially the limit is set to 2.

vfs: add whiteout support

2014-10-23T22:14:36+00:00

Whiteout isn't actually a new file type, but is represented as a char
device (Linus's idea) with 0/0 device number.

This has several advantages compared to introducing a new whiteout file
type:

 - no userspace API changes (e.g. trivial to make backups of upper layer
   filesystem, without losing whiteouts)

 - no fs image format changes (you can boot an old kernel/fsck without
   whiteout support and things won't break)

 - implementation is trivial

vfs: export check_sticky()

2014-10-23T22:14:36+00:00

It's already duplicated in btrfs and about to be used in overlayfs too.

Move the sticky bit check to an inline helper and call the out-of-line
helper only in the unlikly case of the sticky bit being set.

vfs: introduce clone_private_mount()

2014-10-23T22:14:36+00:00

Overlayfs needs a private clone of the mount, so create a function for
this and export to modules.
