       "A lot of activities on libata side this time.
      
         - A lot of changes around ahci.  Various embedded platforms are
           implementing ahci controllers.  Some were built atop ahci_platform,
           others were doing their own things.  Hans made some structural
           changes to libahci and librarized ahci_platform so that ahci
           platform drivers can share more common code.  A couple platform
           drivers are added on top of that and several are added to replace
           older drivers which were doing their own things (older ones are
           scheduled to be removed).
      
         - Dan finishes the patchset to make libata PM operations
           asynchronous.  Combined with one patch being routed through scsi,
           this should speed resume measurably.
      
         - Various fixes and cleanups from Bartlomiej and others"

      Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
       "PREPARE_[DELAYED_]WORK() were used to change the work function of work
        items without fully reinitializing it; however, this makes workqueue
        consider the work item as a different one from before and allows the
        work item to start executing before the previous instance is finished
        which can lead to extremely subtle issues which are painful to debug.
      
        The interface has never been popular.  This pull request contains
        patches to remove existing usages and kill the interface.  As one of
        the changes was routed during the last devel cycle and another
        depended on a pending change in nvme, for-3.15 contains a couple merge
        commits.

        reimplemented the range allocator so that it can use binary search
        instead of linear scan during free and alloc path uses simple hinting

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull s390 compat wrapper rework from Heiko Carstens:
       "S390 compat system call wrapper simplification work.
      
        The intention of this work is to get rid of all hand written assembly
        compat system call wrappers on s390, which perform proper sign or zero
        extension, or pointer conversion of compat system call parameters.
        Instead all of this should be done with C code eg by using Al's
        COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro.
      
        Therefore all common code and s390 specific compat system calls have
        been converted to the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro.
      
        In order to generate correct code all compat system calls may only
        have eg compat_ulong_t parameters, but no unsigned long parameters.
        Those patches which change parameter types from unsigned long to
        compat_ulong_t parameters are separate in this series, but shouldn't
        cause any harm.
      
        The only compat system calls which intentionally have 64 bit
        parameters (preadv64 and pwritev64) in support of the x86/32 ABI
        haven't been changed, but are now only available if an architecture
        defines __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PREADV64/PWRITEV64.
      
        System calls which do not have a compat variant but still need proper
        zero extension on s390, like eg "long sys_brk(unsigned long brk)" will
        get a proper wrapper function with the new s390 specific
        COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAPx() macro:
      
           COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP1(brk, unsigned long, brk);
      
        which generates the following code (simplified):
      
           asmlinkage long sys_brk(unsigned long brk);
           asmlinkage long compat_sys_brk(long brk)
           {
               return sys_brk((u32)brk);
           }
      
        Given that the C file which contains all the COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP lines
        includes both linux/syscall.h and linux/compat.h, it will generate
        build errors, if the declaration of sys_brk() doesn't match, or if
        there exists a non-matching compat_sys_brk() declaration.
      
        In addition this will intentionally result in a link error if
        somewhere else a compat_sys_brk() function exists, which probably
        should have been used instead.  Two more BUILD_BUG_ONs make sure the
        size and type of each compat syscall parameter can be handled
        correctly with the s390 specific macros.
      
        I converted the compat system calls step by step to verify the
        generated code is correct and matches the previous code.  In fact it
        did not always match, however that was always a bug in the hand
        written asm code.
      
        In result we get less code, less bugs, and much more sanity checking"

      AUDIT: Allow login in non-init namespaces · aa4af831
      Eric Paris authored
      It its possible to configure your PAM stack to refuse login if audit
      messages (about the login) were unable to be sent.  This is common in
      many distros and thus normal configuration of many containers.  The PAM
      modules determine if audit is enabled/disabled in the kernel based on
      the return value from sending an audit message on the netlink socket.
      If userspace gets back ECONNREFUSED it believes audit is disabled in the
      kernel.  If it gets any other error else it refuses to let the login
      proceed.
      
      Just about ever since the introduction of namespaces the kernel audit
      subsystem has returned EPERM if the task sending a message was not in
      the init user or pid namespace.  So many forms of containers have never
      worked if audit was enabled in the kernel.
      
      BUT if the container was not in net_init then the kernel network code
      would send ECONNREFUSED (instead of the audit code sending EPERM).  Thus
      by pure accident/dumb luck/bug if an admin configured the PAM stack to
      reject all logins that didn't talk to audit, but then ran the login
      untility in the non-init_net namespace, it would work!! Clearly this was
      a bug, but it is a bug some people expected.
      
      With the introduction of network namespace support in 3.14-rc1 the two
      bugs stopped cancelling each other out.  Now, containers in the
      non-init_net namespace refused to let users log in (just like PAM was
      configfured!) Obviously some people were not happy that what used to let
      users log in, now didn't!
      
      This fix is kinda hacky.  We return ECONNREFUSED for all non-init
      relevant namespaces.  That means that not only will the old broken
      non-init_net setups continue to work, now the broken non-init_pid or
      non-init_user setups will 'work'.  They don't really work, since audit
      isn't logging things.  But it's what most users want.
      
      In 3.15 we should have patches to support not only the non-init_net
      (3.14) namespace but also the non-init_pid and non-init_user namespace.
      So all will be right in the world.  This just opens the doors wide open
      on 3.14 and hopefully makes users happy, if not the audit system...

      ext4: atomically set inode->i_flags in ext4_set_inode_flags() · 00a1a053
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      Use cmpxchg() to atomically set i_flags instead of clearing out the
      S_IMMUTABLE, S_APPEND, etc. flags and then setting them from the
      EXT4_IMMUTABLE_FL, EXT4_APPEND_FL flags, since this opens up a race
      where an immutable file has the immutable flag cleared for a brief
      window of time.
