Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "Some big changes this month, headlined by the addition of a new formatted documentation mechanism based on the Sphinx system. The objectives here are to make it easier to create better-integrated (and more attractive) documents while (eventually) dumping our one-of-a-kind, cobbled-together system for something that is widely used and maintained by others. There's a fair amount of information what's being done, why, and how to use it in: https://lwn.net/Articles/692704/ https://lwn.net/Articles/692705/ Closer to home, Documentation/kernel-documentation.rst describes how it works. For now, the new system exists alongside the old one; you should soon see the GPU documentation converted over in the DRM pull and some significant media conversion work as well. Once all the docs have been moved over and we're convinced that the rough edges (of which are are a few) have been smoothed over, the DocBook-based stuff should go away. Primary credit is to Jani Nikula for doing the heavy lifting to make this stuff actually work; there has also been notable effort from Markus Heiser, Daniel Vetter, and Mauro Carvalho Chehab. Expect a couple of conflicts on the new index.rst file over the course of the merge window; they are trivially resolvable. That file may be a bit of a conflict magnet in the short term, but I don't expect that situation to last for any real length of time. Beyond that, of course, we have the usual collection of tweaks, updates, and typo fixes" * tag 'docs-for-linus' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (77 commits) doc-rst: kernel-doc: fix handling of address_space tags Revert "doc/sphinx: Enable keep_warnings" doc-rst: kernel-doc directive, fix state machine reporter docs: deprecate kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt doc/sphinx: Enable keep_warnings Documentation: add watermark_scale_factor to the list of vm systcl file kernel-doc: Fix up warning output docs: Get rid of some kernel-documentation warnings doc-rst: add an option to ignore DocBooks when generating docs workqueue: Fix a typo in workqueue.txt Doc: ocfs: Fix typo in filesystems/ocfs2-online-filecheck.txt Documentation/sphinx: skip build if user requested specific DOCBOOKS Documentation: add cleanmediadocs to the documentation targets Add .pyc files to .gitignore Doc: PM: Fix a typo in intel_powerclamp.txt doc-rst: flat-table directive - initial implementation Documentation: add meta-documentation for Sphinx and kernel-doc Documentation: tiny typo fix in usb/gadget_multi.txt Documentation: fix wrong value in md.txt bcache: documentation formatting, edited for clarity, stripe alignment notes ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky: "There are a couple of new things for s390 with this merge request: - a new scheduling domain "drawer" is added to reflect the unusual topology found on z13 machines. Performance tests showed up to 8 percent gain with the additional domain. - the new crc-32 checksum crypto module uses the vector-galois-field multiply and sum SIMD instruction to speed up crc-32 and crc-32c. - proper __ro_after_init support, this requires RO_AFTER_INIT_DATA in the generic vmlinux.lds linker script definitions. - kcov instrumentation support. A prerequisite for that is the inline assembly basic block cleanup, which is the reason for the net/iucv/iucv.c change. - support for 2GB pages is added to the hugetlbfs backend. Then there are two removals: - the oprofile hardware sampling support is dead code and is removed. The oprofile user space uses the perf interface nowadays. - the ETR clock synchronization is removed, this has been superseeded be the STP clock synchronization. And it always has been "interesting" code.. And the usual bug fixes and cleanups" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux: (82 commits) s390/pci: Delete an unnecessary check before the function call "pci_dev_put" s390/smp: clean up a condition s390/cio/chp : Remove deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue s390/chsc: improve channel path descriptor determination s390/chsc: sanitize fmt check for chp_desc determination s390/cio: make fmt1 channel path descriptor optional s390/chsc: fix ioctl CHSC_INFO_CU command s390/cio/device_ops: fix kernel doc s390/cio: allow to reset channel measurement block s390/console: Make preferred console handling more consistent s390/mm: fix gmap tlb flush issues s390/mm: add support for 2GB hugepages s390: have unique symbol for __switch_to address s390/cpuinfo: show maximum thread id s390/ptrace: clarify bits in the per_struct s390: stack address vs thread_info s390: remove pointless load within __switch_to s390: enable kcov support s390/cpumf: use basic block for ecctr inline assembly s390/hypfs: use basic block for diag inline assembly ...

2016-07-19doc/sphinx: Enable keep_warningsDaniel Vetter
Unfortunately warnings generated after parsing in sphinx can end up with entirely bogus files and line numbers as sources. Strangely for outright errors this is not a problem. Trying to convert warnings to errors also doesn't fix it. The only way to get useful output out of sphinx to be able to root cause the error seems to be enabling keep_warnings, which inserts a System Message into the actual output. Not pretty at all, but I don't really want to fix up core rst/sphinx code, and this gets the job done meanwhile.

This reverts commit 9b5580359a84 ("scripts/gdb: add documentation example for radix tree") The python implementation of radix tree was merged at the same time as a refactoring of the radix tree implementation and doesn't work. The feature is being reverted, thus we revert the documentation as well.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jic23/iio into staging-next Jonathan writes: Third set of IIO new device support, features and cleanups for the 4.8 cycle. New core features - Selection of the clock source for IIO timestamps. This is done per device as it makes little sense to have events in one timebase and data timestamped on another. Biggest reason for this is that we currently use a clock source which is non monotonic which can result in 'interesting' data sets. (Includes export for get_monotonic_corse64 which Thomas Gleixner didn't mind in an earlier version.) - MAINTAINERS add the git tree to the list for IIO. New device support + a kind of indirect staging graduation. * Broadcom iproc-static-adc - new driver * mcp4531 - support for MCP454x, MCP456x, MCP464x and MCP466x potentiometers * mpu6050 - support the IC20608 6 axis motion tracking device * st-sensors - support the lis3l02dq + drop the lis3l02dq driver from staging. The general purpose driver is missing event support, but good to get rid of this driver which was rather long in the tooth. New driver features * ak8975 - Add vid regulator support and refactor handling in general. - Allow a delay after enabling regulators. - Runtime and system PM. * bmg160 - filter frequency control support. * bmp280 - SPI device support. - EOC interrupt support for the BMP085 - power management support. - supply regulator support. - reset gpio support - dt bindings for reset gpio and regulators. - of table to support device tree registration * max1363 - Device tree bindings. * mcp4531 - Device tree bindings. * st-pressure - temperature channels as part of triggered buffer (previously not due probably to alignment issues - see below). - lps22hb open drain interrupt support. - lps22hb temperature channel support Cleanups and reworkings. * numerous ADC drivers - ensure the iio_dev->dev.of_node is set to the parent dev.of_node so as to allow client bindings to find the device. * ak8975 - Fix incorrect handling of missing regulator - make sure power is down and remove. * bmp280 - read the calibration data only once as it doesn't change. * isl29125 - Use a few macros to make code a touch more readable. * mma8452 - fix a memory leak on error. - drop an unecessary bit of return value handling. * potentiometer kconfig - typo fix. * st-pressure - drop some uninformative default assignments of elements of the channel array structure (aids readability). * st-sensors - Harden interrupt handling considerably. These are actually all using level interrupts, but at least two known boards have them wired to edge only interrupt chips. Hence a slightly interesting bit of handling is needed in which we first allow for the easy option (level triggered) and secondly check the status registers before reenabling edge interrupts and fall back to a tight loop in the thread until we successfully clear the interrupt. No harm is done if we never succeed in doing so. It's an odd patch that has been through a lot of revisions to reach a consensus on how to handle what is basically broken hardware (which the previous defaults allowed to kind of work). - Fix alignment to defined storagebytes boundaries. - Ensure alignment of power of 2 byte boundaries. This has always in theory been part of the ABI of IIO, but we missed a few that snuck in that need fixing. The effect was minor as they were only followed by timestamp channels which were correctly aligned, - Add some docs to explain the gain calculations.

2016-07-08x86/mm: Implement ASLR for kernel memory regionsThomas Garnier
Randomizes the virtual address space of kernel memory regions for x86_64. This first patch adds the infrastructure and does not randomize any region. The following patches will randomize the physical memory mapping, vmalloc and vmemmap regions. This security feature mitigates exploits relying on predictable kernel addresses. These addresses can be used to disclose the kernel modules base addresses or corrupt specific structures to elevate privileges bypassing the current implementation of KASLR. This feature can be enabled with the CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY option. The order of each memory region is not changed. The feature looks at the available space for the regions based on different configuration options and randomizes the base and space between each. The size of the physical memory mapping is the available physical memory. No performance impact was detected while testing the feature. Entropy is generated using the KASLR early boot functions now shared in the lib directory (originally written by Kees Cook). Randomization is done on PGD & PUD page table levels to increase possible addresses. The physical memory mapping code was adapted to support PUD level virtual addresses. This implementation on the best configuration provides 30,000 possible virtual addresses in average for each memory region. An additional low memory page is used to ensure each CPU can start with a PGD aligned virtual address (for realmode). x86/dump_pagetable was updated to correctly display each region. Updated documentation on x86_64 memory layout accordingly.

Track generated header files which aren't already in genhdr-y, alongside generic-y wrappers in the */include/generated/[uapi/]asm/ directories. Currently only x86 generates extra headers in these directories, for the purposes of enumerating system calls for different ABIs, and xen hypercalls. This will allow the asm-generic wrapper handling code to remove stale wrappers when files are removed from generic-y, without also removing these headers which are generated separately.

2016-07-04phy: rockchip-usb: should be a child device of the GRFHeiko Stuebner
The usb-phy is fully enclosed in the general register files (GRF). Therefore as seen from the device-tree it shouldn't be a separate platform-device but instead a sub-device of the GRF - using the simply-mfd mechanism.
