      ARM: perf: simplify __hw_perf_event_init err handling · 9dcbf466
      Mark Rutland authored
      Currently __hw_perf_event_init has an err variable that's ignored right
      until the end, where it's initialised, conditionally set, and then used
      as a boolean flag deciding whether to return another error code.
      
      This patch removes the err variable and simplifies the associated error
      handling logic.

      ARM: perf: remove unnecessary checks for idx < 0 · 8f3b90b5
      Mark Rutland authored
      We currently check for hwx->idx < 0 in armpmu_read and armpmu_del
      unnecessarily. The only case where hwc->idx < 0 is when armpmu_add
      fails, in which case the event's state is set to
      PERF_EVENT_STATE_INACTIVE.
      
      The perf core will not attempt to read from an event in
      PERF_EVENT_STATE_INACTIVE, and so the check in armpmu_read is
      unnecessary. Similarly, if perf core cannot add an event it will not
      attempt to delete it, so the WARN_ON in armpmu_del is unnecessary.
      
      This patch removes these two redundant checks.

      ARM: perf: handle armpmu_register failing · 76b8a0e4
      Mark Rutland authored
      Currently perf_pmu_register may fail for several reasons (e.g. being
      unable to allocate memory for the struct device it associates with each
      PMU), and while any error is propagated by armpmu_register, it is
      ignored by cpu_pmu_device_probe and not propagated to the caller.  This
      also results in a leak of a struct arm_pmu.
      
      This patch adds cleanup if armpmu_register fails, and updates the info
      messages to better differentiate this type of failure from a failure to
      probe the PMU type from the hardware or dt.

      arm64: compat: add syscall table entries for new syscalls · 72d0ac04
      Will Deacon authored
      There have been a number of new syscalls introduced to arch/arm/ since
      the compat layer was implemented for arm64, so add pointers to the
      relevant functions to the compat syscall table.

      ALSA: hda/hdmi - Work around "alsactl restore" errors · 6f54c361
      Takashi Iwai authored
      When "alsactl restore" is performed on HDMI codecs, it tries to
      restore the channel map value since the channel map controls are
      writable.  But hdmi_chmap_ctl_put() returns -EBADFD when no PCM stream
      is assigned yet, and this results in an error message from alsactl.
      Although the error is harmless, it's certainly ugly and can be
      regarded as a regression.
      
      As a workaround, this patch changes the return code in such a case to
      be zero for making others happy.  (A slight excuse is: when the chmap
      is changed through the proper alsa-lib API, the PCM status is checked
      there anyway, so we don't have to be too strict in the kernel side.)

      cpuidle: remove the power_specified field in the driver · 8aef33a7
      Daniel Lezcano authored
      We realized that the power usage field is never filled and when it
      is filled for tegra, the power_specified flag is not set causing all
      of these values to be reset when the driver is initialized with
      set_power_state().
      
      However, the power_specified flag can be simply removed under the
      assumption that the states are always backward sorted, which is the
      case with the current code.
      
      This change allows the menu governor select function and the
      cpuidle_play_dead() to be simplified.  Moreover, the
      set_power_states() function can removed as it does not make sense
      any more.
      
      Drop the power_specified flag from struct cpuidle_driver and make
      the related changes as described above.
      
      As a consequence, this also fixes the bug where on the dynamic
      C-states system, the power fields are not initialized.

      ASoC: atmel: Fixes for pinctrl
      
      Due to a series of problems with the handling of Atmel, a combination of
      making changes that make other branches instantly buggy and a general
      failure to deal with the resulting issues effectively, v3.8 Atmel audio
      currently won't work at all for DT boards without adding pinctrl
      definitions and a request for those.

      Pull tracing regression fixes from Steven Rostedt:
       "The clean up patch commit 0fb9656d "tracing: Make tracing_enabled
        be equal to tracing_on" caused two regressions.
      
         1) The irqs off latency tracer no longer starts if tracing_on is off
            when the tracer is set, and then tracing_on is enabled.  The
            tracing_on file needs the hook that tracing_enabled had to enable
            tracers if they request it (call the tracer's start() method).
      
         2) That commit had a separate change that really should have been a
            separate patch, but it must have been added accidently with the -a
            option of git commit.  But as the change is still related to the
            commit it wasn't noticed in review.  That change, changed the way
            blocking is done by the trace_pipe file with respect to the
            tracing_on settings.  I've been told that this change breaks
            current userspace, and this specific change is being reverted."
