Pull itanium erratum fix from Tony Luck:
"Small workaround for a rare, but annoying, erratum #237"* tag 'please-pull-ia64-erratum' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux:
[IA64] Change default PSR.ac from '1' to '0' (Fix erratum #237) -
April 2014 Itanium processor specification update:
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/itanium/itanium-specification-update.html
describes this erratum:
=========================================================================
237. Under a complex set of conditions, store to load forwarding for a
sub 8-byte load may complete incorrectlyProblem: A load instruction may complete incorrectly when a code sequence
using 4-byte or smaller load and store operations to the same address
is executed in combination with specific timing of all the following
concurrent conditions: store to load forwarding, alignment checking
enabled, a mis-predicted branch, and complex cache utilization activity.Implication: The affected sub 8-byte instruction may complete
incorrectly resulting in unpredictable system behavior. There is an
extremely low probability of exposure due to the significant number of
complex microarchitectural concurrent conditions required to encounter
the erratum.Workaround: Set PSR.ac = 0 to completely avoid the erratum. Disabling
Hyper-Threading will significantly reduce exposure to the conditions
that contribute to encountering the erratum.Status: See the Summary Table of Changes for the affected steppings.
=========================================================================[Table of changes essentially lists all models from McKinley to Tukwila]
The PSR.ac bit controls whether the processor will always generate
an unaligned reference trap (0x5a00) for a misaligned data access
(when PSR.ac=1) or if it will let the access succeed when running
on a cpu that implements logic to handle some unaligned accesses.Way back in 2008 in commit b704882e70d87d7f56db5ff17e2253f3fa90e4f3
[IA64] Rationalize kernel mode alignment checking
we made the decision to always enable strict checking. We were
already doing so in trap/interrupt context because the common
preamble code set this bit - but the rest of supervisor code
(and by inheritance user code) ran with PSR.ac=0.We now reverse that decision and set PSR.ac=0 everywhere in the
kernel (also inherited by user processes). This will avoid the
erratum using the method described in the Itanium specification
update. Net effect for users is that the processor will handle
unaligned access when it can (typically with a tiny performance
bubble in the pipeline ... but much less invasive than taking a
trap and having the OS perform the access).Signed-off-by: Tony Luck

Fix breakage which will be exposed by the patch "kconfig: make allnoconfig
disable options behind EMBEDDED and EXPERT".arch/ia64/kernel/unaligned.c uses tty_write_message to print an
unaligned access exception to the TTY of the current user process.
Enable TTY to prevent a build error.Minimal fix, on the basis that few people on ia64 will care deeply about
kernel size enough to turn off TTY. Ideally, I'd instead suggest
dropping the tty_write_message entirely, and just leaving the printk.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Most of the changes were largely clean ups, and some documentation.
But there were a few features that were added:Uprobes now work with event triggers and multi buffers and have
support under ftrace and perf.The big feature is that the function tracer can now be used within the
multi buffer instances. That is, you can now trace some functions in
one buffer, others in another buffer, all functions in a third buffer
and so on. They are basically agnostic from each other. This only
works for the function tracer and not for the function graph trace,
although you can have the function graph tracer running in the top
level buffer (or any tracer for that matter) and have different
function tracing going on in the sub buffers"* tag 'trace-3.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (45 commits)

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"The majority of this material spent some time in linux-next, some of
it even several weeks. There are a few relatively fresh commits in
it, but they are mostly fixes and simple cleanups.ACPI took the lead this time, both in terms of the number of commits
and the number of modified lines of code, cpufreq follows and there
are a few changes in the PM core and in cpuidle too.A new feature that already got some LWN.net's attention is the device
PM QoS extension allowing latency tolerance requirements to be
propagated from leaf devices to their ancestors with hardware
interfaces for specifying latency tolerance. That should help systems
with hardware-driven power management to avoid going too far with it
in cases when there are latency tolerance constraints.There also are some significant changes in the ACPI core related to
the way in which hotplug notifications are handled. They affect PCI
hotplug (ACPIPHP) and the ACPI dock station code too. The bottom line
is that all those notification now go through the root notify handler
and are propagated to the interested subsystems by means of callbacks
instead of having to install a notify handler for each device object
that we can potentially get hotplug notifications for.In addition to that ACPICA will now advertise "Windows 2013"
compatibility for _OSI, because some systems out there don't work
correctly if that is not done (some of them don't even boot).On the system suspend side of things, all of the device suspend and
resume callbacks, except for ->prepare() and ->complete(), are now
going to be executed asynchronously as that turns out to speed up
system suspend and resume on some platforms quite significantly and we
have a few more optimizations in that area.Apart from that, there are some new device IDs and fixes and cleanups
all over. In particular, the system suspend and resume handling by
cpufreq should be improved and the cpuidle menu governor should be a
bit more robust now.Specifics:
- Device PM QoS support for latency tolerance constraints on systems
with hardware interfaces allowing such constraints to be specified.
That is necessary to prevent hardware-driven power management from
becoming overly aggressive on some systems and to prevent power
management features leading to excessive latencies from being used
in some cases.- Consolidation of the handling of ACPI hotplug notifications for
device objects. This causes all device hotplug notifications to go
through the root notify handler (that was executed for all of them
anyway before) that propagates them to individual subsystems, if
necessary, by executing callbacks provided by those subsystems
(those callbacks are associated with struct acpi_device objects
during device enumeration). As a result, the code in question
becomes both smaller in size and more straightforward and all of
those changes should not affect users.- ACPICA update, including fixes related to the handling of _PRT in
cases when it is broken and the addition of "Windows 2013" to the
list of supported "features" for _OSI (which is necessary to
support systems that work incorrectly or don't even boot without
it). Changes from Bob Moore and Lv Zheng.- Consolidation of ACPI _OST handling from Jiang Liu.

Pull irq code updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The irq department proudly presents:- Another tree wide sweep of irq infrastructure abuse. Clear winner
of the trainwreck engineering contest was:
#include "../../../kernel/irq/settings.h"- Tree wide update of irq_set_affinity() callbacks which miss a cpu
online check when picking a single cpu out of the affinity mask.- Tree wide consolidation of interrupt statistics.
- Updates to the threaded interrupt infrastructure to allow explicit
wakeup of the interrupt thread and a variant of synchronize_irq()
which synchronizes only the hard interrupt handler. Both are
needed to replace the homebrewn thread handling in the mmc/sdhci
code.- New irq chip callbacks to allow proper support for GPIO based irqs.
The GPIO based interrupts need to request/release GPIO resources
from request/free_irq.- A few new ARM interrupt chips. No revolutionary new hardware, just
differently wreckaged variations of the scheme.- Small improvments, cleanups and updates all over the place"

Both QEMU and KVM have already accumulated a significant number of
optimizations based on the hard-coded assumption that ioapic polarity
will always use the ActiveHigh convention, where the logical and
physical states of level-triggered irq lines always match (i.e.,
active(asserted) == high == 1, inactive == low == 0). QEMU guests
are expected to follow directions given via ACPI and configure the
ioapic with polarity 0 (ActiveHigh). However, even when misbehaving

GFP_THISNODE is for callers that implement their own clever fallback to
remote nodes. It restricts the allocation to the specified node and
does not invoke reclaim, assuming that the caller will take care of it
when the fallback fails, e.g. through a subsequent allocation request
without GFP_THISNODE set.However, many current GFP_THISNODE users only want the node exclusive
aspect of the flag, without actually implementing their own fallback or
triggering reclaim if necessary. This results in things like page
migration failing prematurely even when there is easily reclaimable
memory available, unless kswapd happens to be running already or a
concurrent allocation attempt triggers the necessary reclaim.Convert all callsites that don't implement their own fallback strategy
to __GFP_THISNODE. This restricts the allocation a single node too, but
at the same time allows the allocator to enter the slowpath, wake
kswapd, and invoke direct reclaim if necessary, to make the allocation
happen when memory is full.Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner

No architecture uses the "data" parameter in ftrace_dyn_arch_init() in any
way, it just sets the value to 0. And this is used as a return value
in the caller -- ftrace_init, which just checks the retval against
zero.Note there is also "return 0" in every ftrace_dyn_arch_init. So it is
enough to check the retval and remove all the indirect sets of data on
all archs.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1393268401-24379-3-git-send-email-jslaby@suse.cz

There's no good reason to keep efi_enabled() under CONFIG_X86 anymore,
since nothing about the implementation is specific to x86.Set EFI feature flags in the ia64 boot path instead of claiming to
support all features. The old behaviour was actually buggy since
efi.memmap never points to a valid memory map, so we shouldn't be
claiming to support EFI_MEMMAP.Fortunately, this bug was never triggered because EFI_MEMMAP isn't used
outside of arch/x86 currently, but that may not always be the case.Reviewed-and-tested-by: Tony Luck

Setting the IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW flag on a VGA card other than the primary
prevents it from reading its own ROM. It will get the content of the
shadow ROM at C000 instead, which is of the primary VGA card and the driver
of the secondary card will bail out.Fix this by checking if the arch code or vga-arbitration has already
determined the vga_default_device, if so only apply the fix to this primary
video device and let the comment reflect this.[bhelgaas: add subject, split x86 & ia64 into separate patches,
