2fb242adca PM / Runtime: Update document about callbacks
Support for device power domains has been introduced in
commit 9659cc0678 (PM: Make
system-wide PM and runtime PM treat subsystems consistently),
also power domain callbacks will take precedence over subsystem ones
from commit 4d27e9dcff00a6425d779b065ec8892e4f391661(PM: Make
power domain callbacks take precedence over subsystem ones).

So update part of "Device Runtime PM Callbacks" in
Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt.

5b1b0b812a PM / Runtime: Add macro to test for runtime PM events
This patch (as1482) adds a macro for testing whether or not a
pm_message value represents an autosuspend or autoresume (i.e., a
runtime PM) event.  Encapsulating this notion seems preferable to
open-coding the test all over the place.

311aab73d2 PM / Runtime: Add might_sleep() to runtime PM functions
Some of the entry points to pm runtime are not safe to
call in atomic context unless pm_runtime_irq_safe() has
been called.  Inspecting the code, it is not immediately
obvious that the functions sleep at all, as they run
inside a spin_lock_irqsave, but under some conditions
they can drop the lock and turn on irqs.

If a driver incorrectly calls the pm_runtime apis, it can
cause sleeping and irq processing when it expects to stay
in atomic context.

Add might_sleep_if to the majority of the __pm_runtime_* entry points
to enforce correct usage.

Add pm_runtime_put_sync_autosuspend to the list of
functions that can be called in atomic context.

3ae36655b9 x86-64: Rework vsyscall emulation and add vsyscall= parameter
There are three choices:

vsyscall=native: Vsyscalls are native code that issues the
corresponding syscalls.

vsyscall=emulate (default): Vsyscalls are emulated by instruction
fault traps, tested in the bad_area path.  The actual contents of
the vsyscall page is the same as the vsyscall=native case except
that it's marked NX.  This way programs that make assumptions about
what the code in the page does will not be confused when they read
that code.

vsyscall=none: Trying to execute a vsyscall will segfault.

02b26774af PM / Runtime: Allow _put_sync() from interrupts-disabled context
Currently the use of pm_runtime_put_sync() is not safe from
interrupts-disabled context because rpm_idle() will release the
spinlock and enable interrupts for the idle callbacks.  This enables
interrupts during a time where interrupts were expected to be
disabled, and can have strange side effects on drivers that expected
interrupts to be disabled.

This is not a bug since the documentation clearly states that only
_put_sync_suspend() is safe in IRQ-safe mode.

However, pm_runtime_put_sync() could be made safe when in IRQ-safe
mode by releasing the spinlock but not re-enabling interrupts, which
is what this patch aims to do.

Problem was found when using some buggy drivers that set
pm_runtime_irq_safe() and used _put_sync() in interrupts-disabled
context.

dd48c085c1 fault-injection: add ability to export fault_attr in arbitrary directory
init_fault_attr_dentries() is used to export fault_attr via debugfs.
But it can only export it in debugfs root directory.

Per Forlin is working on mmc_fail_request which adds support to inject
data errors after a completed host transfer in MMC subsystem.

The fault_attr for mmc_fail_request should be defined per mmc host and
export it in debugfs directory per mmc host like
/sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/mmc_fail_request.

init_fault_attr_dentries() doesn't help for mmc_fail_request.  So this
introduces fault_create_debugfs_attr() which is able to create a
directory in the arbitrary directory and replace
init_fault_attr_dentries().

Originally, it is expected to have no harm for BIOS does not support

when newly added module parameter named "param_extension" is

ab92402af0 thermal: hide CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON
It's about time to revert 16d7523973 ("thermal: Create
CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON=n").  Anybody running a kernel >= 2.6.40 would also
be running a recent enough version of lm-sensors.

Actually having CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON is pretty convenient so instead of
dropping it, we keep it but hide it.

772ae5f54d dm crypt: optionally support discard requests
Add optional parameter field to dmcrypt table and support
"allow_discards" option.

Discard requests bypass crypt queue processing. Bio is simple remapped
to underlying device.

Note that discard will be never enabled by default because of security
consequences.  It is up to the administrator to enable it for encrypted
devices.

(Note that userspace cryptsetup does not understand new optional
parameters yet.  Support for this will come later.  Until then, you
should use 'dmsetup' to enable and disable this.)

b12d437b73 dm raid: support metadata devices
Add the ability to parse and use metadata devices to dm-raid.  Although
not strictly required, without the metadata devices, many features of
RAID are unavailable.  They are used to store a superblock and bitmap.

The role, or position in the array, of each device must be recorded in
its superblock.  This is to help with fault handling, array reshaping,
and sanity checks.  RAID 4/5/6 devices must be loaded in a specific order:
in this way, the 'array_position' field helps validate the correctness
of the mapping when it is loaded.  It can be used during reshaping to
identify which devices are added/removed.  Fault handling is impossible
without this field.  For example, when a device fails it is recorded in
the superblock.  If this is a RAID1 device and the offending device is
removed from the array, there must be a way during subsequent array
assembly to determine that the failed device was the one removed.  This
is done by correlating the 'array_position' field and the bit-field
variable 'failed_devices'.

46bed2b5c1 dm raid: add write_mostly parameter

This allows the user to set the WriteMostly flag on a RAID1 device that
should normally be avoided for read I/O.
