Pull drm fixes from Dave Airlie:
 "Unfortunately this contains no easter eggs, its a bit larger than I'd
  like, but I included a patch that just moves code from one file to
  another and I'd like to avoid merge conflicts with that later, so it
  makes it seem worse than it is,

  Otherwise:
   - radeon: fixes to use new microcode to stabilise some cards, use
     some common displayport code, some runtime pm fixes, pll regression
     fixes
   - i915: fix for some context oopses, a warn in a used path, backlight
     fixes
   - nouveau: regression fix
   - omap: a bunch of fixes"

David Vrabel identified a regression when using automatic NUMA balancing
under Xen whereby page table entries were getting corrupted due to the
use of native PTE operations.  Quoting him

	Xen PV guest page tables require that their entries use machine
	addresses if the preset bit (_PAGE_PRESENT) is set, and (for
	successful migration) non-present PTEs must use pseudo-physical
	addresses.  This is because on migration MFNs in present PTEs are
	translated to PFNs (canonicalised) so they may be translated back
	to the new MFN in the destination domain (uncanonicalised).

	pte_mknonnuma(), pmd_mknonnuma(), pte_mknuma() and pmd_mknuma()
	set and clear the _PAGE_PRESENT bit using pte_set_flags(),
	pte_clear_flags(), etc.

	In a Xen PV guest, these functions must translate MFNs to PFNs
	when clearing _PAGE_PRESENT and translate PFNs to MFNs when setting
	_PAGE_PRESENT.

His suggested fix converted p[te|md]_[set|clear]_flags to using
paravirt-friendly ops but this is overkill.  He suggested an alternative
of using p[te|md]_modify in the NUMA page table operations but this is
does more work than necessary and would require looking up a VMA for
protections.

This patch modifies the NUMA page table operations to use paravirt
friendly operations to set/clear the flags of interest.  Unfortunately
this will take a performance hit when updating the PTEs on
CONFIG_PARAVIRT but I do not see a way around it that does not break
Xen.

Stick in a comment before someone else tries to fix the sparse warning
this generates.

shiraz.hashim@st.com email-id doesn't exist anymore as he has left the

It also updates .mailmap file to fix address for 'git shortlog'.

<title>net: sctp: cache auth_enable per endpoint</title>

Currently, it is possible to create an SCTP socket, then switch
auth_enable via sysctl setting to 1 and crash the system on connect:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

What happens while auth_enable=0 in that case is, that
ep-&gt;auth_hmacs is initialized to NULL in sctp_auth_init_hmacs()
when endpoint is being created.

After that point, if an admin switches over to auth_enable=1,
the machine can crash due to NULL pointer dereference during
reception of an INIT chunk. When we enter sctp_process_init()
via sctp_sf_do_5_1B_init() in order to respond to an INIT chunk,
the INIT verification succeeds and while we walk and process
all INIT params via sctp_process_param() we find that
net-&gt;sctp.auth_enable is set, therefore do not fall through,
but invoke sctp_auth_asoc_set_default_hmac() instead, and thus,
dereference what we have set to NULL during endpoint
initialization phase.

The fix is to make auth_enable immutable by caching its value
during endpoint initialization, so that its original value is
being carried along until destruction. The bug seems to originate
from the very first days.

Fix in joint work with Daniel Borkmann.
