Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
"This is a bunch of small changes built against 3.16-rc6. The most
significant change for users is the first patch which makes setns
drmatically faster by removing unneded rcu handling.The next chunk of changes are so that "mount -o remount,.." will not
allow the user namespace root to drop flags on a mount set by the
system wide root. Aks this forces read-only mounts to stay read-only,
no-dev mounts to stay no-dev, no-suid mounts to stay no-suid, no-exec
mounts to stay no exec and it prevents unprivileged users from messing
with a mounts atime settings. I have included my test case as the
last patch in this series so people performing backports can verify
this change works correctly.The next change fixes a bug in NFS that was discovered while auditing
nsproxy users for the first optimization. Today you can oops the
kernel by reading /proc/fs/nfsfs/{servers,volumes} if you are clever
with pid namespaces. I rebased and fixed the build of the
!CONFIG_NFS_FS case yesterday when a build bot caught my typo. Given
that no one to my knowledge bases anything on my tree fixing the typo
in place seems more responsible that requiring a typo-fix to be
backported as well.The last change is a small semantic cleanup introducing
/proc/thread-self and pointing /proc/mounts and /proc/net at it. This
prevents several kinds of problemantic corner cases. It is a
user-visible change so it has a minute chance of causing regressions
so the change to /proc/mounts and /proc/net are individual one line
commits that can be trivially reverted. Unfortunately I lost and
could not find the email of the original reporter so he is not
credited. From at least one perspective this change to /proc/net is a
refgression fix to allow pthread /proc/net uses that were broken by
the introduction of the network namespace"* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
proc: Point /proc/mounts at /proc/thread-self/mounts instead of /proc/self/mounts

Setting SEAL_WRITE is not possible if there're pending GUP users. This
commit adds selftests for memfd+sealing that use FUSE to create pending
page-references. FUSE is very helpful here in that it allows us to delay
direct-IO operations for an arbitrary amount of time. This way, we can
force the kernel to pin pages and then run our normal selftests.Signed-off-by: David Herrmann

On IBM powerpc where multiple page size value are supported, current
ppc64 and ppc64el distro don't define the PAGE_SIZE variable in
/usr/include as this is a dynamic value retrieved by the getpagesize()
or sysconf() defined in unistd.h. The PAGE_SIZE variable sounds defined
when only one value is supported by the kernel.As such, when the PAGE_SIZE definition doesn't exist system should

Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"This is the powerpc new goodies for 3.17. The short story:The biggest bit is Michael removing all of pre-POWER4 processor
support from the 64-bit kernel. POWER3 and rs64. This gets rid of a
ton of old cruft that has been bitrotting in a long while. It was
broken for quite a few versions already and nobody noticed. Nobody
uses those machines anymore. While at it, he cleaned up a bunch of
old dusty cabinets, getting rid of a skeletton or two.Then, we have some base VFIO support for KVM, which allows assigning
of PCI devices to KVM guests, support for large 64-bit BARs on
"powernv" platforms, support for HMI (Hardware Management Interrupts)
on those same platforms, some sparse-vmemmap improvements (for memory
hotplug),There is the usual batch of Freescale embedded updates (summary in the

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"Again, ACPICA leads the pack (47 commits), followed by cpufreq (18
commits) and system suspend/hibernation (9 commits).From the new code perspective, the ACPICA update brings ACPI 5.1 to
the table, including a new device configuration object called _DSD
(Device Specific Data) that will hopefully help us to operate device
properties like Device Trees do (at least to some extent) and changes
related to supporting ACPI on ARM.Apart from that we have hibernation changes making it use radix trees
to store memory bitmaps which should speed up some operations carried
out by it quite significantly. We also have some power management
changes related to suspend-to-idle (the "freeze" sleep state) support
and more preliminary changes needed to support ACPI on ARM (outside of
ACPICA).The rest is fixes and cleanups pretty much everywhere.
Specifics:
- ACPICA update to upstream version 20140724. That includes ACPI 5.1
material (support for the _CCA and _DSD predefined names, changes
related to the DMAR and PCCT tables and ARM support among other
things) and cleanups related to using ACPICA's header files. A
major part of it is related to acpidump and the core code used by
that utility. Changes from Bob Moore, David E Box, Lv Zheng,
Sascha Wildner, Tomasz Nowicki, Hanjun Guo.- Radix trees for memory bitmaps used by the hibernation core from
Joerg Roedel.- Support for waking up the system from suspend-to-idle (also known
as the "freeze" sleep state) using ACPI-based PCI wakeup signaling

Pull timer and time updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A rather large update of timers, timekeeping & co- Core timekeeping code is year-2038 safe now for 32bit machines.
Now we just need to fix all in kernel users and the gazillion of
user space interfaces which rely on timespec/timeval :)- Better cache layout for the timekeeping internal data structures.
- Proper nanosecond based interfaces for in kernel users.
- Tree wide cleanup of code which wants nanoseconds but does hoops
and loops to convert back and forth from timespecs. Some of it
definitely belongs into the ugly code museum.- Consolidation of the timekeeping interface zoo.
- A fast NMI safe accessor to clock monotonic for tracing. This is a
long standing request to support correlated user/kernel space
traces. With proper NTP frequency correction it's also suitable
for correlation of traces accross separate machines.- Checkpoint/restart support for timerfd.
- A few NOHZ[_FULL] improvements in the [hr]timer code.
- Code move from kernel to kernel/time of all time* related code.
- New clocksource/event drivers from the ARM universe. I'm really
impressed that despite an architected timer in the newer chips SoC
manufacturers insist on inventing new and differently broken SoC
specific timers.[ Ed. "Impressed"? I don't think that word means what you think it means ]
- Another round of code move from arch to drivers. Looks like most
of the legacy mess in ARM regarding timers is sorted out except for
a few obnoxious strongholds.- The usual updates and fixlets all over the place"

Kenton Varda discovered that by remounting a
read-only bind mount read-only in a user namespace the
MNT_LOCK_READONLY bit would be cleared, allowing an unprivileged user
to the remount a read-only mount read-write.Upon review of the code in remount it was discovered that the code allowed
nosuid, noexec, and nodev to be cleared. It was also discovered that
the code was allowing the per mount atime flags to be changed.The first naive patch to fix these issues contained the flaw that using
default atime settings when remounting a filesystem could be disallowed.To avoid this problems in the future add tests to ensure unprivileged
remounts are succeeding and failing at the appropriate times.Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

Resolved several minor errors in prepare_config() and made some additional improvements.
Earlier, the risk of file stream that was not closed. Misuse of strncpy, and the use of strncmp with strlen that makes it pointless.
I also check that sscanf has been successful, otherwise continue to the next line. And minimized the use of magic numbers.This was found using a static code analysis program called cppcheck.

Although we expect some small discrepancies for very large counts, we
seem to be able to count up to 64 billion instructions without too much
skew, so do so.Also switch to using decimals for the instruction counts. This just
makes it easier to visually compare the expected vs actual values, as
well as the raw result from instructions.Before:
instructions: result 68719476753 running/enabled 13101961654
cycles: result 38077343785 running/enabled 13101725752
Looped for 68719476736 instructions, overhead 17

Have a task eat some cpu while we are counting instructions to create
some scheduler pressure. The idea being to try and unearth any bugs we
have in counting that only appear when context switching is happening.Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

There is at least one bug in core_busy_loop(), we use r0, but it's
not in the clobber list. We were getting away with this it seems but
that was luck.It's also fishy to be touching the stack, even if we do it below the
stack pointer. It seems we get away with it, but looking at the
generated code that may just be luck.So move it into assembler, do all the stack handling by hand. We create
a stack frame to save the non-volatiles in, so we can muck around with
them.Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

Currently we ignore errors from our sub Makefiles. We inherited that
from the top-level selftests Makefile which aims to build and run as
many tests as possible and damn the torpedoes.For the powerpc tests we'd instead like any errors to fail the build, so
we can automatically catch build failures.We can achieve the best of both worlds by using -k, which tells make to
keep building when it hits an error, but still reports the error.Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

Currently we store PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND event each time
we go throught mmap buffers no matter if it contains any data,
which is useless.Forcing the PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND event to be stored any
time we finished the round AND wrote at least one event.Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa

The PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND synthetic record governs queue flushing
in reporting, so it needs to be stored for any kind of event.The lack of such periodic flushing made the tools use more memory than
needed, as the reordering was being done only after processing all
events. This was the case when no tracepoints were in the mix.Forcing the PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND event to be stored for all event
types.Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa

Let perf inject take --kallsyms parameter the same as perf script and
perf report do.That is needed for decoding Instruction Trace data using a copy of
/proc/kcore for the kernel object because the kallsyms path is used to
locate that copy.Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter

Move some functions and functionality related to the use of
'addr' out of builtin-script so they can be reused.The moved functions are: is_bts_event() and sample_addr_correlates_sym()
and a new function perf_event__preprocess_sample_addr() is created from
bits of print_sample_addr().perf_event__preprocess_sample_addr() is the equivalent of
perf_event__preprocess_sample() but for 'addr' instead of 'ip'.Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter
