Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "This includes two new updates for the ftrace infrastructure.

   - With the changing of the code for filtering events by pid, from a
     list of pids to a bitmask, we can now easily implement following
     forks.  With a new tracing option "event-fork" which, when set,
     will have tasks with pids in set_event_pid, when they fork, to have
     their child pids added to set_event_pid and the child will be
     traced as well.

     Note, if "event-fork" is set and a task with its pid in
     set_event_pid exits, its pid will be removed from set_event_pid

   - The addition of Tom Zanussi's hist triggers.  This includes a very
     thorough documentatino on how to use the hist triggers with events.
     This introduces a quick and easy way to get histogram data from
     events and their fields.

  Some other cleanups and updates were added as well.  Like Masami
  Hiramatsu added test cases for the event trigger and hist triggers.
  Also I added a speed up of filtering by using a temp buffer when
  filters are set"

Pull ARM 64-bit DT updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "We continue ramping up platform support for 64-bit ARM machines, with
  111 individual non-merge changesets touching 21 platforms.

  The LG1312 platform is completely new and is the first ARM platform by
  LG that we support in the mainline kernel.  Two other SoCs got added
  that are updated versions of existing SoC families, so the port mainly
  consists of new dts files:

   - The Hisilicon Hip06/D03 is the latest server platform from
     Huawei/Hisilicon, and follows the Hip05/D02 platform.

   - Rockchip RK3399 follows the 32-bit RK3288 that is popular in
     low-end Chromebooks and the 64-bit RK3368 that is mainly found in
     chinese Android TV boxes.

  The 96Boards HiKey based on the Hisilicon Hi6220 (Kirin 620) gets a
  long-awaited overhaul with a lot of devices enabled in the DT, so it
  should be much more usable with a mainline kernel now.  See also

Pull ARM SoC platform updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "We get support for three new 32-bit SoC platforms this time.

  The amount of changes in arch/arm for any of them is miniscule, as all
  the interesting code is in device driver subsystems (irqchip, clk,
  pinctrl, ...) these days.  I'm listing them here, as the addition of
  the Kconfig statement is the main relevant milestone for a new
  platform.  In each case, some drivers are are shared with existing
  platforms, while other drivers are added for v4.7 as well, or come in
  a later release.

   - The Aspeed platform is probably the most interesting one, this is
     what most whitebox servers use as their baseboard management
     controller.  We get support for the very common ast2400 and ast2500
     SoCs.  The OpenBMC project focuses on this chip, and the LWN
     article about their ELC 2016 presentation at

        https://lwn.net/Articles/683320/

     triggered the submission, but the code comes from IBM's OpenPOWER
     team rather than the team at Facebook.  There are still a lot more
     drivers that need to get added over time, and I hope both teams can
     work together on that.

   - OXNAS is an old platform for Network Attached Storage devices from
     Oxford Semiconductor.  There are models with ARM10 (!) and
     ARM11MPCore cores, but for now, we only support the original ARM9
     based versions.  The product lineup was subsequently part of PLX,
     Avago and now the new Broadcom Ltd.

        https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/hardware/soc/soc.oxnas

     has some more information.

   - V2M-MPS2 is a prototyping platform from ARM for their Cortex-M
     cores and is related to the existing Realview / Versatile Express
     lineup, but without MMU.

     We now support various NOMMU platforms, so adding a new one is
     fairly straightforward.

        http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.100112_0100_03_en/

     has detailed information about the platform.

  Other noteworthy updates:

   - Work on LPC32xx has resumed, and Vladimir Zapolskiy and Sylvain
     Lemieux are now maintaining the platform.

     This is an older ARM9 based platform from NXP (not Freescale), but
     it remains in use in embedded markets.

   - Kevin Hilman is now co-maintaining the Amlogic Meson platform for
     both 32-bit and 64-bit ARM, and started contributing some patches.

   - As is often the case, work on the OMAP platforms makes up the bulk
     of the actual SoC code changes in arch/arm, but there isn't a lot
     of that either"

My laptop that uses the intel 7680 iwlwifi module would no longer
connects to the network.  It would fail with a "Microcode SW error
detected." and spew out register state over and over again without ever
connecting to the network.

The cause is mis-merge in commit 909b27f7, where David seems to have
lost some of the changes to iwl_mvm_set_tx_cmd() from commit
5c08b0f5 ("iwlwifi: mvm: don't override the rate with the AMSDU
len").

The reason seems to be a conflict with commit d8fe4844 ("iwlwifi:
mvm: add support for new TX CMD API"), which touched a line adjacent to
the changes in 909b27f7.

David missed the fact that "info->driver_data[0]" had become
"skb_info->driver_data[0]".  Then he removed the skb_info because it was
unused.

This just re-updates iwl_mvm_set_tx_cmd() with the lost two lines.

  xfs: concurrent readdir hangs on data buffer locks
  Revert "btrfs: switch to ->iterate_shared()"

There's a three-process deadlock involving shared/exclusive barriers
and inverted lock orders in the directory readdir implementation.
It's a pre-existing problem with lock ordering, exposed by the
VFS parallelisation code.

process 1               process 2               process 3

                        finish ->iterate_shared
                        file_accessed()
                          ->update_time
                            start transaction

        .....
        finishes processing buffer
        get next buffer
          ilock(shared)
          <blocks>

And that's the deadlock.

Fix this by dropping the current buffer lock in process 1 before
trying to map the next buffer. This means we keep the lock order of
ilock -> buffer lock intact and hence will allow process 3 to make
progress and drop it's ilock(shared) once it is done.

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
 "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for kernel cycle v4.7:

  Core infrastructural changes:

   - Support for natively single-ended GPIO driver stages.

     This means that if the hardware has registers to configure open
     drain or open source configuration, we use that rather than (as we
     did before) try to emulate it by switching the line to an input to
     get high impedance.

     This is also documented throughly in Documentation/gpio/driver.txt
     for those of you who did not understand one word of what I just
     wrote.

   - Start to do away with the unnecessarily complex and unitelligible
     ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB and ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB, another
     evolutional artifact from the time when the GPIO subsystem was
     unmaintained.

     Archs can now just select GPIOLIB and be done with it, cleanups to
     arches will trickle in for the next kernel.  Some minor archs ACKed
     the changes immediately so these are included in this pull request.

   - Advancing the use of the data pointer inside the GPIO device for
     storing driver data by switching the PowerPC, Super-H Unicore and
     a few other subarches or subsystem drivers in ALSA SoC, Input,
     serial, SSB, staging etc to use it.

   - The initialization now reads the input/output state of the GPIO
     lines, so that each GPIO descriptor knows - if this callback is
     implemented - whether the line is input or output.  This also
     reflects nicely in userspace "lsgpio".

   - It is now possible to name GPIO producer names, line names, from
     the device tree.  (Platform data has been supported for a while).
     I bet we will get a similar mechanism for ACPI one of those days.
     This makes is possible to get sensible producer names for e.g.
     GPIO rails in "lsgpio" in userspace.

  New drivers:

   - New driver for the Loongson1.

   - The XLP driver now supports Broadcom Vulcan ARM64.

   - The IT87 driver now supports IT8620 and IT8628.

   - The PCA953X driver now supports Galileo Gen2.

  Driver improvements:

   - MCP23S08 was switched to use the gpiolib irqchip helpers and now
     also suppors level-triggered interrupts.

   - 74x164 and RCAR now supports the .set_multiple() callback

   - AMDPT was converted to use generic GPIO.

   - TC3589x, TPS65218, SX150X, F7188X, MENZ127, VX855, WM831X, WM8994
     support the new single ended callback for open drain and in some
     cases open source.

   - Implement the .get_direction() callback for a few more drivers like
     PL061, Xgene.

  Cleanups:

   - Paul Gortmaker combed through the drivers and de-modularized those
     who are not really modules.

   - Move the GPIO poweroff DT bindings to the power subdir where they
     belong.

   - Rename gpio-generic.c to gpio-mmio.c, which is much more to the
     point.  That's what it is handling, nothing more, nothing less"

The btrfs_{set,remove}xattr inode operations check for a read-only root
(btrfs_root_readonly) before calling into generic_{set,remove}xattr.  If
this check is moved into __btrfs_setxattr, we can get rid of
btrfs_{set,remove}xattr.

This patch applies to mainline, I would like to keep it together with
the other xattr cleanups if possible, though.  Could you please review?

Ubifs internally uses special inodes for storing xattrs. Those inodes
had NULL {get,set,remove}xattr inode operations before this change, so
xattr operations on them would fail. The super block's s_xattr field
would also apply to those special inodes. However, the inodes are not
visible outside of ubifs, and so no xattr operations will ever be
carried out on them anyway.

 "On top of the core pull request, this is the drivers pull request for
  this merge window.  This contains:

   - Switch drivers to the new write back cache API, and kill off the
     flush flags.  From me.

   - Kill the discard support for the STEC pci-e flash driver.  It's
     trivially broken, and apparently unmaintained, so it's safer to
     just remove it.  From Jeff Moyer.

   - A set of lightnvm updates from the usual suspects (Matias/Javier,
     and Simon), and fixes from Arnd, Jeff Mahoney, Sagi, and Wenwei
     Tao.

   - A set of updates for NVMe:

        - Turn the controller state management into a proper state
          machine.  From Christoph.

        - Shuffling of code in preparation for NVMe-over-fabrics, also
          from Christoph.

        - Cleanup of the command prep part from Ming Lin.

        - Rewrite of the discard support from Ming Lin.

        - Deadlock fix for namespace removal from Ming Lin.

        - Use the now exported blk-mq tag helper for IO termination.
          From Sagi.

        - Various little fixes from Christoph, Guilherme, Keith, Ming
          Lin, Wang Sheng-Hui.

   - Convert mtip32xx to use the now exported blk-mq tag iter function,
     from Keith"

Pull core block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the core block IO changes for this merge window.  Nothing
  earth shattering in here, it's mostly just fixes.  In detail:

   - Fix for a long standing issue where wrong ordering in blk-mq caused
     order_to_size() to spew a warning.  From Bart.

   - Async discard support from Christoph.  Basically just splitting our
     sync interface into a submit + wait part.

   - Add a cleaner interface for flagging whether a device has a write
     back cache or not.  We've previously overloaded blk_queue_flush()
     with this, but let's make it more explicit.  Drivers cleaned up and
     updated in the drivers pull request.  From me.

   - Fix for a double check for whether IO accounting is enabled or not.
     From Michael Callahan.

   - Fix for the async discard from Mike Snitzer, reinstating the early
     EOPNOTSUPP return if the device doesn't support discards.

   - Also from Mike, export bio_inc_remaining() so dm can drop it's
     private copy of it.

   - From Ming Lin, add support for passing in an offset for request
     payloads.

   - Tag function export from Sagi, which will be used in NVMe in the
     drivers pull.

   - Two blktrace related fixes from Shaohua.

   - Propagate NOMERGE flag when making a request from a bio, also from
     Shaohua.

   - An optimization to not parse cgroup paths in blk-throttle, if we
     don't need to.  From Shaohua"
