Due to the platform specific nature of remote's firmware, we can't do much
to facilitate shareable client drivers. So the Mailbox api is more like a
bunch of useful functions put together. The only feature that can be
abstracted out is mailbox channel assignment to client drivers, which this
binding specifies.

Add a binding for the arm architected timer hardware's memory
mapped interface. The mmio timer hardware is made up of one base
frame and a collection of up to 8 timer frames, where each of the
8 timer frames can have either one or two views. A frame
typically maps to a privilege level (user/kernel, hypervisor,
secure). The first view has full access to the registers within a
frame, while the second view can be restricted to particular
registers within a frame. Each frame must support a physical
timer. It's optional for a frame to support a virtual timer.

commit 14c63f17b1 upstream.
This patch keeps track of how long perf's NMI handler is taking,
and also calculates how many samples perf can take a second. If
the sample length times the expected max number of samples
exceeds a configurable threshold, it drops the sample rate.
This way, we don't have a runaway sampling process eating up the
CPU.
This patch can tend to drop the sample rate down to level where
perf doesn't work very well. *BUT* the alternative is that my
system hangs because it spends all of its time handling NMIs.
I'll take a busted performance tool over an entire system that's
busted and undebuggable any day.
BTW, my suspicion is that there's still an underlying bug here.
Using the HPET instead of the TSC is definitely a contributing
factor, but I suspect there are some other things going on.
But, I can't go dig down on a bug like that with my machine
hanging all the time.

commit 36189cc3cd upstream.
The hw_version 3 Elantech touchpad on the Gigabyte U2442 does not accept
0x0b as initialization value for r10, this stand-alone version of the
driver: http://planet76.com/drivers/elantech/psmouse-elantech-v6.tar.bz2
Uses 0x03 which does work, so this means not setting bit 3 of r10 which
sets: "Enable Real H/W Resolution In Absolute mode"
Which will result in half the x and y resolution we get with that bit set,
so simply not setting it everywhere is not a solution. We've been unable to
find a way to identify touchpads where setting the bit will fail, so this
patch uses a dmi based blacklist for this.

From the inception ot the pin config API there has been the
possibility to get a handle at a pin directly and configure
its electrical characteristics. For this reason we had:
int pin_config_get(const char *dev_name, const char *name,
unsigned long *config);
int pin_config_set(const char *dev_name, const char *name,
unsigned long config);
int pin_config_group_get(const char *dev_name,
const char *pin_group,
unsigned long *config);
int pin_config_group_set(const char *dev_name,
const char *pin_group,
unsigned long config);
After the introduction of the pin control states that will
control pins associated with devices, and its subsequent
introduction to the device core, as well as the
introduction of pin control hogs that can set up states on
boot and optionally also at sleep, this direct pin control
API is a thing of the past.
As could be expected, it has zero in-kernel users.
Let's delete this API and make our world simpler.

This patch introduces a thermal data parser for device
tree. The parsed data is used to build thermal zones
and thermal binding parameters. The output data
can then be used to deploy thermal policies.
This patch adds also documentation regarding this
API and how to define tree nodes to use
this infrastructure.
Note that, in order to be able to have control
on the sensor registration on the DT thermal zone,
it was required to allow changing the thermal zone
.get_temp callback. For this reason, this patch
also removes the 'const' modifier from the .ops
field of thermal zone devices.

commit 778c14affa upstream.
A 3% of system memory bonus is sometimes too excessive in comparison to
other processes.
With commit a63d83f427 ("oom: badness heuristic rewrite"), the OOM
killer tries to avoid killing privileged tasks by subtracting 3% of
overall memory (system or cgroup) from their per-task consumption. But
as a result, all root tasks that consume less than 3% of overall memory
are considered equal, and so it only takes 33+ privileged tasks pushing
the system out of memory for the OOM killer to do something stupid and
kill dhclient or other root-owned processes. For example, on a 32G
machine it can't tell the difference between the 1M agetty and the 10G
fork bomb member.
The changelog describes this 3% boost as the equivalent to the global
overcommit limit being 3% higher for privileged tasks, but this is not
the same as discounting 3% of overall memory from _every privileged task
individually_ during OOM selection.
Replace the 3% of system memory bonus with a 3% of current memory usage
bonus.
By giving root tasks a bonus that is proportional to their actual size,
they remain comparable even when relatively small. In the example
above, the OOM killer will discount the 1M agetty's 256 badness points
down to 179, and the 10G fork bomb's 262144 points down to 183500 points
and make the right choice, instead of discounting both to 0 and killing
agetty because it's first in the task list.

[ Upstream commit 66e56cd46b ]
Commit e40526cb20 introduced a cached dev pointer, that gets
hooked into register_prot_hook(), __unregister_prot_hook() to
update the device used for the send path.
We need to fix this up, as otherwise this will not work with
sockets created with protocol = 0, plus with sll_protocol = 0
passed via sockaddr_ll when doing the bind.
So instead, assign the pointer directly. The compiler can inline
these helper functions automagically.
While at it, also assume the cached dev fast-path as likely(),
and document this variant of socket creation as it seems it is
not widely used (seems not even the author of TX_RING was aware
of that in his reference example [1]). Tested with reproducer
from e40526cb20.

Some device require DMADIR to be enabled, but are not detected as such

(as per Tejun Heo's memory), enabling it globally may not be possible
depending on the hardware.

[ Upstream commit 98e09386c0 ]
After commit c9eeec26e3 ("tcp: TSQ can use a dynamic limit"), several
users reported throughput regressions, notably on mvneta and wifi
adapters.
802.11 AMPDU requires a fair amount of queueing to be effective.
This patch partially reverts the change done in tcp_write_xmit()
so that the minimal amount is sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes.
It also remove the use of this sysctl while building skb stored
in write queue, as TSO autosizing does the right thing anyway.
Users with well behaving NICS and correct qdisc (like sch_fq),
can then lower the default sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes value from
128KB to 8KB.
This new usage of sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes permits each driver
authors to check how their driver performs when/if the value is set
to a minimum of 4KB.
Normally, line rate for a single TCP flow should be possible,
but some drivers rely on timers to perform TX completion and
too long TX completion delays prevent reaching full throughput.

commit 312b4e2269 upstream.
Some setuid binaries will allow reading of files which have read
permission by the real user id. This is problematic with files which
use %pK because the file access permission is checked at open() time,
but the kptr_restrict setting is checked at read() time. If a setuid
binary opens a %pK file as an unprivileged user, and then elevates
permissions before reading the file, then kernel pointer values may be
leaked.
This happens for example with the setuid pppd application on Ubuntu 12.04:
$ head -1 /proc/kallsyms
00000000 T startup_32
$ pppd file /proc/kallsyms
pppd: In file /proc/kallsyms: unrecognized option 'c1000000'
This will only leak the pointer value from the first line, but other
setuid binaries may leak more information.
Fix this by adding a check that in addition to the current process having
CAP_SYSLOG, that effective user and group ids are equal to the real ids.
If a setuid binary reads the contents of a file which uses %pK then the
pointer values will be printed as NULL if the real user is unprivileged.
Update the sysctl documentation to reflect the changes, and also correct
the documentation to state the kptr_restrict=0 is the default.
This is a only temporary solution to the issue. The correct solution is
to do the permission check at open() time on files, and to replace %pK
with a function which checks the open() time permission. %pK uses in
printk should be removed since no sane permission check can be done, and
instead protected by using dmesg_restrict.
