Pull swiotlb fixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"This has one fix to make i915 work when using Xen SWIOTLB, and a
feature from Geert to aid in debugging of devices that can't do DMA
outside the 32-bit address space.The feature from Geert is on top of v4.10 merge window commit
(specifically you pulling my previous branch), as his changes were
dependent on the Documentation/ movement patches.I figured it would just easier than me trying than to cherry-pick the
Documentation patches to satisfy git.The patches have been soaking since 12/20, albeit I updated the last
patch due to linux-next catching an compiler error and adding an
Tested-and-Reported-by tag"* 'stable/for-linus-4.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/swiotlb:
swiotlb: Export swiotlb_max_segment to users
swiotlb: Add swiotlb=noforce debug option
swiotlb: Convert swiotlb_force from int to enum
x86, swiotlb: Simplify pci_swiotlb_detect_override()

Sometimes, the users may require a quirk to be provided from ACPI subsystem
core to prevent a GPE from flooding.
Normally, if a GPE cannot be dispatched, ACPICA core automatically prevents
the GPE from firing. But there are cases the GPE is dispatched by _Lxx/_Exx
provided via AML table, and OSPM is lacking of the knowledge to get
_Lxx/_Exx correctly executed to handle the GPE, thus the GPE flooding may
still occur.The existing quirk mechanism can be enabled/disabled using the following
commands to prevent such kind of GPE flooding during runtime:
# echo mask > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe00
# echo unmask > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe00
To avoid GPE flooding during boot, we need a boot stage mechanism.This patch provides such a boot stage quirk mechanism to stop this kind of
GPE flooding. This patch doesn't fix any feature gap but since the new
feature gaps could be found in the future endlessly, and can disappear if
the feature gaps are filled, providing a boot parameter rather than a DMI
table should suffice.Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53071

The IMA binary_runtime_measurements list is currently in platform native
format.To allow restoring a measurement list carried across kexec with a
different endianness than the targeted kernel, this patch defines
little-endian as the canonical format. For big endian systems wanting
to save/restore the measurement list from a system with a different
endianness, a new boot command line parameter named "ima_canonical_fmt"
is defined.Considerations: use of the "ima_canonical_fmt" boot command line option
will break existing userspace applications on big endian systems
expecting the binary_runtime_measurements list to be in platform native
format.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1480554346-29071-10-git-send-email-zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com

On architectures like arm64, swiotlb is tied intimately to the core
architecture DMA support. In addition, ZONE_DMA cannot be disabled.To aid debugging and catch devices not supporting DMA to memory outside
the 32-bit address space, add a kernel command line option
"swiotlb=noforce", which disables the use of bounce buffers.
If specified, trying to map memory that cannot be used with DMA will
fail, and a rate-limited warning will be printed.Note that io_tlb_nslabs is set to 1, which is the minimal supported
value.Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"Again, cpufreq gets more changes than the other parts this time (one
new driver, one old driver less, a bunch of enhancements of the
existing code, new CPU IDs, fixes, cleanups)There also are some changes in cpuidle (idle injection rework, a
couple of new CPU IDs, online/offline rework in intel_idle, fixes and
cleanups), in the generic power domains framework (mostly related to
supporting power domains containing CPUs), and in the Operating
Performance Points (OPP) library (mostly related to supporting devices
with multiple voltage regulators)In addition to that, the system sleep state selection interface is
modified to make it easier for distributions with unchanged user space
to support suspend-to-idle as the default system suspend method, some
issues are fixed in the PM core, the latency tolerance PM QoS
framework is improved a bit, the Intel RAPL power capping driver is
cleaned up and there are some fixes and cleanups in the devfreq
subsystemSpecifics:
- New cpufreq driver for Broadcom STB SoCs and a Device Tree binding
for it (Markus Mayer)- Support for ARM Integrator/AP and Integrator/CP in the generic DT
cpufreq driver and elimination of the old Integrator cpufreq driver
