Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A set of fixes and updates for x86:

   - Address a swiotlb regression which was caused by the recent DMA
     rework and made driver fail because dma_direct_supported() returned
     false

   - Fix a signedness bug in the APIC ID validation which caused invalid
     APIC IDs to be detected as valid thereby bloating the CPU possible
     space.

   - Fix inconsisten config dependcy/select magic for the MFD_CS5535
     driver.

   - Fix a corruption of the physical address space bits when encryption
     has reduced the address space and late cpuinfo updates overwrite
     the reduced bit information with the original value.

   - Dominiks syscall rework which consolidates the architecture
     specific syscall functions so all syscalls can be wrapped with the
     same macros. This allows to switch x86/64 to struct pt_regs based
     syscalls. Extend the clearing of user space controlled registers in
     the entry patch to the lower registers"

init/ramdisk: use pr_cont() at the end of ramdisk loading

2018-04-11T17:28:36+00:00

Use pr_cont() at the end of ramdisk loading.  This will avoid the
rotator and an extra newline appearing in the dmesg.

Before:
  RAMDISK: Loading 2436KiB [1 disk] into ram disk... |
  done.

After:
  RAMDISK: Loading 2436KiB [1 disk] into ram disk... done.

uts: create "struct uts_namespace" from kmem_cache

2018-04-11T17:28:35+00:00

So "struct uts_namespace" can enjoy fine-grained SLAB debugging and
usercopy protection.

I'd prefer shorter name "utsns" but there is "user_namespace" already.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "New features:

   - Tom Zanussi's extended histogram work.

     This adds the synthetic events to have histograms from multiple
     event data Adds triggers "onmatch" and "onmax" to call the
     synthetic events Several updates to the histogram code from this

   - Allow way to nest ring buffer calls in the same context

   - Allow absolute time stamps in ring buffer

   - Rewrite of filter code parsing based on Al Viro's suggestions

   - Setting of trace_clock to global if TSC is unstable (on boot)

   - Better OOM handling when allocating large ring buffers

   - Added initcall tracepoints (consolidated initcall_debug code with
     them)

  And other various fixes and clean ups"

Add macros around the initcall_debug tracepoint code to have the code to
default back to the old method if CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS is not enabled.

init, tracing: Have printk come through the trace events for initcall_debug

2018-04-06T12:56:55+00:00

With trace events set before and after the initcall function calls, instead
of having a separate routine for printing out the initcalls when
initcall_debug is specified on the kernel command line, have the code
register a callback to the tracepoints where the initcall trace events are.

This removes the need for having a separate function to do the initcalls as
the tracepoint callbacks can handle the printk. It also includes other
initcalls that are not called by the do_one_initcall() which includes
console and security initcalls.

init, tracing: Add initcall trace events

2018-04-06T12:56:54+00:00

Being able to trace the start and stop of initcalls is useful to see where
the timings are an issue. There is already an "initcall_debug" parameter,
but that can cause a large overhead itself, as the printing of the
information may take longer than the initcall functions.

Adding in a start and finish trace event around the initcall functions, as
well as a trace event that records the level of the initcalls, one can get a
much finer measurement of the times and interactions of the initcalls
themselves, as trace events are much lighter than printk()s.

Merge tag 'gpio-v4.17-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio

2018-04-05T16:51:41+00:00

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
 "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.17 kernel cycle:

  New drivers:

   - Nintendo Wii GameCube GPIO, known as "Hollywood"

   - Raspberry Pi mailbox service GPIO expander

   - Spreadtrum main SC9860 SoC and IEC GPIO controllers.

  Improvements:

   - Implemented .get_multiple() callback for most of the
     high-performance industrial GPIO cards for the ISA bus.

   - ISA GPIO drivers now select the ISA_BUS_API instead of depending on
     it. This is merged with the same pattern for all the ISA drivers
     and some other Kconfig cleanups related to this.

  Cleanup:

   - Delete the TZ1090 GPIO drivers following the deletion of this SoC
     from the ARM tree.

   - Move the documentation over to driver-api to conform with the rest
     of the kernel documentation build.

   - Continue to make the GPIO drivers include only
      and not the too broad  that we
     want to get rid of.

   - Managed to remove VLA allocation from two drivers pending more
     fixes in this area for the next merge window.

   - Misc janitorial fixes"

syscalls/core: Prepare CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER=y for compat syscalls

2018-04-05T14:59:38+00:00

It may be useful for an architecture to override the definitions of the
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE0() and __COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macros in
, in particular to use a different calling convention
for syscalls. This patch provides a mechanism to do so, based on the
previously introduced CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER. If it is enabled,
 is included in  and may be used
to define the macros mentioned above. Moreover, as the syscall calling
convention may be different if CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER is set,
the compat syscall function prototypes in  are #ifndef'd
out in that case.

As some of the syscalls and/or compat syscalls may not be present,
the COND_SYSCALL() and COND_SYSCALL_COMPAT() macros in kernel/sys_ni.c
as well as the SYS_NI() and COMPAT_SYS_NI() macros in
kernel/time/posix-stubs.c can be re-defined in  iff
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER is enabled.
