2873ead7e4 Revert "selinux: fix the default socket labeling in sock_graft()"
This reverts commit 4da6daf4d3.

Unfortunately, the commit in question caused problems with Bluetooth
devices, specifically it caused them to get caught in the newly
created BUG_ON() check.  The AF_ALG problem still exists, but will be
addressed in a future patch.

784aa3d7fb KVM: Rename and add argument to check_extension
In preparation to make the check_extension function available to VM scope
we add a struct kvm * argument to the function header and rename the function
accordingly. It will still be called from the /dev/kvm fd, but with a NULL
argument for struct kvm *.

eb3fe7def6 ARM: edma: Add edma_assign_channel_eventq() to move channel to a give queue
In some cases it is desired to move a channel to a specific event queue.
Such a use case is audio, where it is preferred that it is served with
highest priority compared to other DMA clients.

39b2bbe3d7 gpio: add flags argument to gpiod_get*() functions
The huge majority of GPIOs have their direction and initial value set
right after being obtained by one of the gpiod_get() functions. The
integer GPIO API had gpio_request_one() that took a convenience flags
parameter allowing to specify an direction and value applied to the
returned GPIO. This feature greatly simplifies client code and ensures
errors are always handled properly.

A similar feature has been requested for the gpiod API. Since setting
the direction of a GPIO is so often the very next action done after
obtaining its descriptor, we prefer to extend the existing functions
instead of introducing new functions that would raise the
number of gpiod getters to 16 (!).

The drawback of this approach is that all gpiod clients need to be
updated. To limit the pain, temporary macros are introduced that allow
gpiod_get*() to be called with or without the extra flags argument. They
will be removed once all consumer code has been updated.

30a2af3a32 mfd: arizona: Only free the CTRLIF_ERR IRQ if we requested it
We only request the control interface error IRQ if we set ctrlif_error,
as such we should only free it in that situation. Otherwise we will
attempt to free an IRQ we never requested and get a warning from the IRQ
core.

This patch moves the ctrlif_error variable into the arizona structure
and checks it in all cases we free the control interface error IRQ.

This patchset add new extcon provider driver and fix minor issue of extcon driver.
 
 Detailed description for patchset:
 1. Add new Silicon-Mitus SM5502 MUIC (Micro-USB Interface Controller) device
 - extcon-sm5502 driver  is capable of identifying the type of the external power
 source and attached accessory. And external power sources, such as Dedicated
 charger or a standard USB port, are able to charge the battery in the smart
 phone via the connector.
 
 2. Fix minor issue of extcon driver
 - extcon-arizona driver
 - extcon-palmas driver
 - Remove unnecessary OOM messages for all extcon device drivers
 
 3. Fix minor issue of extcon core
 - Re-order the sequence of extcon device driver in Kconfig/Makefile alphabitically
 - Set parent device of extcon device automatically using devm_extcon_dev_allocate()
 
 4. Fix MAX77693 driver
 - This patchset has dependency on MFD/Regulator/Extcon. So, Lee Jones
 (MFD Maintainer) created Immutable branch between MFD and Extcon due
 for v3.17 merge-window and then I merged this patchset from MFD git repo[1]
 to Extcon git repo.

3a611c3cfb modules: Fix build error in moduleloader.h
Fengguang Wu's build bot detected that if moduleloader.h is included in
a C file (used by ftrace and kprobes to access module_alloc() when
available), that it can fail to build if CONFIG_MODULES and
CONFIG_MODULES_USE_ELF_REL is not defined.

This is because there's a printk() that dereferences struct module to
print the name of the module. But as struct module does not exist when
CONFIG_MODULES is not defined we get this error:

   include/linux/moduleloader.h: In function 'apply_relocate':

29b4739134 Input: wacom - switch from an USB driver to a HID driver
All USB Wacom tablets are actually HID devices.
For historical reasons, they are handled as plain USB devices.
The current code makes more and more reference to the HID subsystem
like implementing its own HID report descriptor parser to handle new
devices.

From the user point of view, we can transparently switch from this state
to a driver handled in the HID subsystem and clean up a lot of USB specific
code in the wacom.ko driver.

The other benefit once the USB dependecies have been removed is that we can
use a tool like uhid to make regression tests and allow further cleanup or
new implementations without risking breaking current behaviors.

To match the current handling of devices in wacom_wac.c, we rely on the
hid_type set by usbhid. usbhid sets the hid_type to HID_TYPE_USBMOUSE when
it sees a USB boot mouse protocol declared and HID_TYPE_USBNONE when the
device is plain HID. There is thus a one to one matching between the list
of supported devices before and after the switch from USB to HID.

86be408bfb clk: Support for clock parents and rates assigned from device tree
This patch adds helper functions to configure clock parents and rates
as specified through 'assigned-clock-parents', 'assigned-clock-rates'
DT properties for a clock provider or clock consumer device.
The helpers are now being called by the bus code for the platform, I2C
and SPI busses, before the driver probing and also in the clock core
after registration of a clock provider.

c53c6d6a68 scatterlist: allow chaining to preallocated chunks
Blk-mq drivers usually preallocate their S/G list as part of the request,
but if we want to support the very large S/G lists currently supported by
the SCSI code that would tie up a lot of memory in the preallocated request
pool.  Add support to the scatterlist code so that it can initialize a
S/G list that uses a preallocated first chunks and dynamically allocated
additional chunks.  That way the scsi-mq code can preallocate a first
page worth of S/G entries as part of the request, and dynamically extend
the S/G list when needed.

16369efb1f dmaengine: of: add common xlate function for matching by channel id
This patch adds a new common OF dma xlate callback function which will match a
channel by it's id. The binding expects one integer argument which it will use to
lookup the channel by the id.

Unlike of_dma_simple_xlate this function is able to handle a system with
multiple DMA controllers. When registering the of dma provider with
of_dma_controller_register a pointer to the dma_device struct which is
associated with the dt node needs to passed as the data parameter.
New function will use this pointer to match only channels which belong to the
specified DMA controller.

7d8b6c6375 CAPABILITIES: remove undefined caps from all processes
This is effectively a revert of 7b9a7ec565
plus fixing it a different way...

We found, when trying to run an application from an application which
had dropped privs that the kernel does security checks on undefined
capability bits.  This was ESPECIALLY difficult to debug as those
undefined bits are hidden from /proc/$PID/status.

Consider a root application which drops all capabilities from ALL 4
capability sets.  We assume, since the application is going to set
eff/perm/inh from an array that it will clear not only the defined caps
less than CAP_LAST_CAP, but also the higher 28ish bits which are
undefined future capabilities.

The BSET gets cleared differently.  Instead it is cleared one bit at a
time.  The problem here is that in security/commoncap.c::cap_task_prctl()
we actually check the validity of a capability being read.  So any task
which attempts to 'read all things set in bset' followed by 'unset all
things set in bset' will not even attempt to unset the undefined bits
higher than CAP_LAST_CAP.

So the 'parent' will look something like:
CapInh:	0000000000000000
CapPrm:	0000000000000000
CapEff:	0000000000000000
CapBnd:	ffffffc000000000

All of this 'should' be fine.  Given that these are undefined bits that
aren't supposed to have anything to do with permissions.  But they do...

So lets now consider a task which cleared the eff/perm/inh completely
and cleared all of the valid caps in the bset (but not the invalid caps
it couldn't read out of the kernel).  We know that this is exactly what
the libcap-ng library does and what the go capabilities library does.
They both leave you in that above situation if you try to clear all of
you capapabilities from all 4 sets.  If that root task calls execve()
the child task will pick up all caps not blocked by the bset.  The bset
however does not block bits higher than CAP_LAST_CAP.  So now the child
task has bits in eff which are not in the parent.  These are
'meaningless' undefined bits, but still bits which the parent doesn't
have.

The problem is now in cred_cap_issubset() (or any operation which does a
subset test) as the child, while a subset for valid cap bits, is not a
subset for invalid cap bits!  So now we set durring commit creds that
the child is not dumpable.  Given it is 'more priv' than its parent.  It
also means the parent cannot ptrace the child and other stupidity.

The solution here:
1) stop hiding capability bits in status
	This makes debugging easier!

2) stop giving any task undefined capability bits.  it's simple, it you
don't put those invalid bits in CAP_FULL_SET you won't get them in init
and you won't get them in any other task either.
	This fixes the cap_issubset() tests and resulting fallout (which
	made the init task in a docker container untraceable among other
	things)

3) mask out undefined bits when sys_capset() is called as it might use
~0, ~0 to denote 'all capabilities' for backward/forward compatibility.
	This lets 'capsh --caps="all=eip" -- -c /bin/bash' run.

4) mask out undefined bit when we read a file capability off of disk as
again likely all bits are set in the xattr for forward/backward
compatibility.
	This lets 'setcap all+pe /bin/bash; /bin/bash' run

f7d4ad98fd gpiolib: Export gpiochip_request_own_desc and gpiochip_free_own_desc
Both functions were introduced to let gpio drivers request their own
gpio pins. Without exporting the functions, this can however only be
used by gpio drivers built into the kernel.

Secondary impact is that the functions can not currently be used by
platform initialization code associated with the gpio-pca953x driver.
This code permits auto-export of gpio pins through platform data, but
if this functionality is used, the module can no longer be unloaded due
to the problem solved with the introduction of gpiochip_request_own_desc
and gpiochip_free_own_desc.

Export both function so they can be used from modules and from
platform initialization code.

A DT transaction is a method which allows one to apply changes

take effect, or the state of the tree can be rolled-back to the
state it was before it was attempted. An applied transaction
can be rolled-back at any time.

259092a35c of: Reorder device tree changes and notifiers
Currently, devicetree reconfig notifiers get emitted before the change
is applied to the tree, but that behaviour is problematic if the
receiver wants the determine the new state of the tree. The current
users don't care, but the changeset code to follow will be making
multiple changes at once. Reorder notifiers to get emitted after the
change has been applied to the tree so that callbacks see the new tree
state.

At the same time, fixup the existing callbacks to expect the new order.
There are a few callbacks that compare the old and new values of a
changed property. Put both property pointers into the of_prop_reconfig
structure.

The current notifiers also allow the notifier callback to fail and
cancel the change to the tree, but that feature isn't actually used.
It really isn't valid to ignore a tree modification provided by firmware
anyway, so remove the ability to cancel a change to the tree.

8a2b22a259 of: Make devicetree sysfs update functions consistent.
All of the DT modification functions are split into two parts, the first
part manipulates the DT data structure, and the second part updates
sysfs, but the code isn't very consistent about how the second half is
called. They don't all enforce the same rules about when it is valid to
update sysfs, and there isn't any clarity on locking.

The transactional DT modification feature that is coming also needs
access to these functions so that it can perform all the structure
changes together, and then all the sysfs updates as a second stage
instead of doing each one at a time.

Fix up the second have by creating a separate __of_*_sysfs() function
for each of the helpers. The new functions have consistent naming (ie.
of_node_add() becomes __of_attach_node_sysfs()) and all of them now
defer if of_init hasn't been called yet.

Callers of the new functions must hold the of_mutex to ensure there are
no race conditions with of_init(). The mutex ensures that there will
only ever be one writer to the tree at any given time. There can still
be any number of readers and the raw_spin_lock is still used to make
sure access to the data structure is still consistent.

Finally, put the function prototypes into of_private.h so they are
accessible to the transaction code.

a0f7a756c2 mm/rmap.c: fix pgoff calculation to handle hugepage correctly
I triggered VM_BUG_ON() in vma_address() when I tried to migrate an
anonymous hugepage with mbind() in the kernel v3.16-rc3.  This is
because pgoff's calculation in rmap_walk_anon() fails to consider
compound_order() only to have an incorrect value.

This patch introduces page_to_pgoff(), which gets the page's offset in
PAGE_CACHE_SIZE.

Kirill pointed out that page cache tree should natively handle
hugepages, and in order to make hugetlbfs fit it, page->index of
hugetlbfs page should be in PAGE_CACHE_SIZE.  This is beyond this patch,
but page_to_pgoff() contains the point to be fixed in a single function.

375f45b5b5 timekeeping: Use cached ntp_tick_length when accumulating error
By caching the ntp_tick_length() when we correct the frequency error,
and then using that cached value to accumulate error, we avoid large
initial errors when the tick length is changed.

This makes convergence happen much faster in the simulator, since the
initial error doesn't have to be slowly whittled away.

This initially seems like an accounting error, but Miroslav pointed out
that ntp_tick_length() can change mid-tick, so when we apply it in the
error accumulation, we are applying any recent change to the entire tick.

This approach chooses to apply changes in the ntp_tick_length() only to
the next tick, which allows us to calculate the freq correction before
using the new tick length, which avoids accummulating error.

dc491596f6 timekeeping: Rework frequency adjustments to work better w/ nohz
The existing timekeeping_adjust logic has always been complicated
to understand. Further, since it was developed prior to NOHZ becoming
common, its not surprising it performs poorly when NOHZ is enabled.

Since Miroslav pointed out the problematic nature of the existing code
in the NOHZ case, I've tried to refactor the code to perform better.

The problem with the previous approach was that it tried to adjust
for the total cumulative error using a scaled dampening factor. This
resulted in large errors to be corrected slowly, while small errors
were corrected quickly. With NOHZ the timekeeping code doesn't know
how far out the next tick will be, so this results in bad
over-correction to small errors, and insufficient correction to large
errors.

Inspired by Miroslav's patch, I've refactored the code to try to
address the correction in two steps.

1) Check the future freq error for the next tick, and if the frequency
error is large, try to make sure we correct it so it doesn't cause
much accumulated error.

2) Then make a small single unit adjustment to correct any cumulative
error that has collected over time.

This method performs fairly well in the simulator Miroslav created.

Major credit to Miroslav for pointing out the issue, providing the
original patch to resolve this, a simulator for testing, as well as
helping debug and resolve issues in my implementation so that it
performed closer to his original implementation.
