Pull power management and ACPI material from Rafael J Wysocki:
 "These are fixes (operating performance points library, cpufreq-dt
  driver, cpufreq core, ACPI backlight, cpupower tool), cleanups
  (cpuidle), new processor IDs for the RAPL (Running Average Power
  Limit) power capping driver, and a modification of the generic power
  domains framework allowing modular drivers to call one of its helper
  functions.

  Specifics:

   - Fix for a potential NULL pointer dereference in the cpufreq core
     due to an initialization race condition (Ethan Zhao).

   - Fixes for abuse of the OPP (Operating Performance Points) API
     related to RCU and other minor issues in the OPP library and the
     cpufreq-dt driver (Dmitry Torokhov).

   - cpuidle governors cleanup making them measure idle duration in a
     better way without using the CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_INVALID flag which
     allows that flag to be dropped from the ACPI cpuidle driver and
     from the core too (Len Brown).

   - New ACPI backlight blacklist entries for Samsung machines without a
     working native backlight interface that need to use the ACPI
     backlight instead (Aaron Lu).

   - New CPU IDs of future Intel Xeon CPUs for the Intel RAPL power
     capping driver (Jacob Pan).

   - Generic power domains framework modification to export the
     of_genpd_get_from_provider() function to modular drivers that will
     allow future driver modifications to be based on the mainline (Amit
     Daniel Kachhap).

   - Two fixes for the cpupower tool (Michal Privoznik, Prarit
     Bhargava)"

Pull thermal management updates from Zhang Rui:
 "First of all, the most important change is the thermal cpu cooling
  fixes.  The major fix here is to have proper sequencing between
  cpufreq layer and thermal cpu cooling registration.  A take away of
  this fix is an improvement in the thermal drivers code.  Thermal
  drivers that require cpu cooling do not need to check for cpufreq
  layer.  The requirement now is to propagate the error code, if any,
  while registering cpu cooling device.  Thanks to Viresh for
  implementing the required CPUfreq changes.

  Second, a new driver is introduced for int340x processor thermal
  device.  Given that int340x thermal is disabled by default, and this
  processor thermal device is only available on limited platforms, plus
  the driver does nothing but exposes some thermal limitation
  information for user space to use, thus I think it is safe to include
  it in this pull request after missing 3.19-rc2.

  Specifics:

   - Thermal cpu cooling fixes and cleanups.

   - introduce INT340X processor thermal reporting device driver.

   - several small fixes and cleanups for int340x thermal drivers"

<title>mm: get rid of radix tree gfp mask for pagecache_get_page</title>

<id>45f87de57f8fad59302fd263dd81ffa4843b5b24</id>
<content type='text'>
Commit 2457aec63745 ("mm: non-atomically mark page accessed during page
cache allocation where possible") has added a separate parameter for
specifying gfp mask for radix tree allocations.

Not only this is less than optimal from the API point of view because it
is error prone, it is also buggy currently because
grab_cache_page_write_begin is using GFP_KERNEL for radix tree and if
fgp_flags doesn't contain FGP_NOFS (mostly controlled by fs by
AOP_FLAG_NOFS flag) but the mapping_gfp_mask has __GFP_FS cleared then
the radix tree allocation wouldn't obey the restriction and might
recurse into filesystem and cause deadlocks.  This is the case for most
filesystems unfortunately because only ext4 and gfs2 are using
AOP_FLAG_NOFS.

Let's simply remove radix_gfp_mask parameter because the allocation
context is same for both page cache and for the radix tree.  Just make
sure that the radix tree gets only the sane subset of the mask (e.g.  do
not pass __GFP_WRITE).

Long term it is more preferable to convert remaining users of
AOP_FLAG_NOFS to use mapping_gfp_mask instead and simplify this
interface even further.

Netlink families can exist in multiple namespaces, and for the most
part multicast subscriptions are per network namespace. Thus it only
makes sense to have bind/unbind notifications per network namespace.

To achieve this, pass the network namespace of a given client socket
to the bind/unbind functions.

Also do this in generic netlink, and there also make sure that any
bind for multicast groups that only exist in init_net is rejected.
This isn't really a problem if it is accepted since a client in a
different namespace will never receive any notifications from such
a group, but it can confuse the family if not rejected (it's also
possible to silently (without telling the family) accept it, but it
would also have to be ignored on unbind so families that take any
kind of action on bind/unbind won't do unnecessary work for invalid
clients like that.

<title>net: Generalize ndo_gso_check to ndo_features_check</title>

GSO isn't the only offload feature with restrictions that
potentially can't be expressed with the current features mechanism.
Checksum is another although it's a general issue that could in
theory apply to anything. Even if it may be possible to
implement these restrictions in other ways, it can result in
duplicate code or inefficient per-packet behavior.

This generalizes ndo_gso_check so that drivers can remove any
features that don't make sense for a given packet, similar to
netif_skb_features(). It also converts existing driver
restrictions to the new format, completing the work that was
done to support tunnel protocols since the issues apply to
checksums as well.

By actually removing features from the set that are used to do
offloading, it solves another problem with the existing
interface. In these cases, GSO would run with the original set
of features and not do anything because it appears that
segmentation is not required.

Pull audit fixes from Paul Moore:
 "Four patches to fix various problems with the audit subsystem, all are
  fairly small and straightforward.

  One patch fixes a problem where we weren't using the correct gfp
  allocation flags (GFP_KERNEL regardless of context, oops), one patch
  fixes a problem with old userspace tools (this was broken for a
  while), one patch fixes a problem where we weren't recording pathnames
  correctly, and one fixes a problem with PID based filters.

  In general I don't think there is anything controversial with this
  patchset, and it fixes some rather unfortunate bugs; the allocation
  flag one can be particularly scary looking for users"

* 'upstream' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit:
  audit: restore AUDIT_LOGINUID unset ABI
  audit: correctly record file names with different path name types
  audit: use supplied gfp_mask from audit_buffer in kauditd_send_multicast_skb
  audit: don't attempt to lookup PIDs when changing PID filtering audit rules
