       "This is mostly clean ups and small fixes.  Some of the more visible
        changes are:
      
         - The function pid code uses the event pid filtering logic
         - [ku]probe events have access to current->comm
         - trace_printk now has sample code
         - PCI devices now trace physical addresses

      Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm · f0c98ebc
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
      
       - Replace pcommit with ADR / directed-flushing.
      
         The pcommit instruction, which has not shipped on any product, is
         deprecated.  Instead, the requirement is that platforms implement
         either ADR, or provide one or more flush addresses per nvdimm.
      
         ADR (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) flushes data in posted write buffers
         to the memory controller on a power-fail event.
      
         Flush addresses are defined in ACPI 6.x as an NVDIMM Firmware
         Interface Table (NFIT) sub-structure: "Flush Hint Address Structure".
         A flush hint is an mmio address that when written and fenced assures
         that all previous posted writes targeting a given dimm have been
         flushed to media.
      
       - On-demand ARS (address range scrub).
      
         Linux uses the results of the ACPI ARS commands to track bad blocks
         in pmem devices.  When latent errors are detected we re-scrub the
         media to refresh the bad block list, userspace can also request a
         re-scrub at any time.
      
       - Support for the Microsoft DSM (device specific method) command
         format.
      
       - Support for EDK2/OVMF virtual disk device memory ranges.
      
       - Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem.

      Pull pin control updates from Linus Walleij:
       "This is the bulk of pin control changes for the v4.8 kernel cycle.
      
        Nothing stands out as especially exiting: new drivers, new subdrivers,
        lots of cleanups and incremental features.
      
        Business as usual.
      
        New drivers:
      
         - New driver for Oxnas pin control and GPIO.  This ARM-based chipset
           is used in a few storage (NAS) type devices.
      
         - New driver for the MAX77620/MAX20024 pin controller portions.
      
         - New driver for the Intel Merrifield pin controller.
      
        New subdrivers:
      
         - New subdriver for the Qualcomm MDM9615
      
         - New subdriver for the STM32F746 MCU
      
         - New subdriver for the Broadcom NSP SoC.
      
        Cleanups:
      
         - Demodularization of bool compiled-in drivers.
      
        Apart from this there is just regular incremental improvements to a
        lot of drivers, especially Uniphier and PFC"
