Pull user namespaces work from Eric Biederman: "The work to convert the kernel to use kuid_t and kgid_t has been finished since 3.12 so it is time to remove the scaffolding that allowed the work to progress incrementally. The first patch on this branch just removes the scaffolding, ensuring we will always get compile errors if people accidentally try the userspace and the kernel uid and gid types. The second patch an overlooked and unused chunk of mips code that that fails to build after the first patch. The code hasn't been in linux-next for long (as I was out of it and could not sheppared the cold properly) but the patch has been around for a long time just waiting for the day when I had finished the uid/gid conversions. Putting the code in linux-next did find the compile failure on mips so I took the time to get that fix reviewed and included. Beyond that I am not too worried about errors because all these two patches do is delete a modest amount of code" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: MIPS: VPE: Remove vpe_getuid and vpe_getgid userns: userns: Remove UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECKS

Pull thermal management updates from Zhang Rui: "This time, the biggest change is the work of representing hardware thermal properties in device tree infrastructure. This work includes the introduction of a device tree bindings for describing the hardware thermal behavior and limits, and also a parser to read and interpret the data, and build thermal zones and thermal binding parameters. It also contains three examples on how to use the new representation on sensor devices, using three different drivers to accomplish it. One driver is in thermal subsystem, the TI SoC thermal, and the other two drivers are in hwmon subsystem. Actually, this would be the first step of the complete work because we still need to check other potential drivers to be converted and then validate the proposed API. But the reason why I include it in this pull request is that, first, this change does not hurt any others without using this approach, second, the principle and concept of this change would not break after converting the remaining drivers. BTW, as you can see, there are several points in this change that do not belong to thermal subsystem. Because it has been suggested by Guenter R that in such cases, it is recommended to send the complete series via one single subsystem. Specifics: - representing hardware thermal properties in device tree infrastructure - fix a regression that the imx thermal driver breaks system suspend. - introduce ACPI INT3403 thermal driver to retrieve temperature data from the INT3403 ACPI device object present on some systems. - introduce debug statement for thermal core and step_wise governor. - assorted fixes and cleanups for thermal core, cpu cooling, exynos thrmal, intel powerclamp and imx thermal driver" * 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rzhang/linux: (34 commits) thermal: remove const flag from .ops of imx thermal Thermal: update thermal zone device after setting emul_temp intel_powerclamp: Fix cstate counter detection. thermal: imx: add necessary clk operation Thermal cpu cooling: return error if no valid cpu frequency entry thermal: fix cpu_cooling max_level behavior thermal: rcar-thermal: Enable driver compilation with COMPILE_TEST thermal: debug: add debug statement for core and step_wise thermal: imx_thermal: add module device table drivers: thermal: Mark function as static in x86_pkg_temp_thermal.c thermal:samsung: fix compilation warning thermal: imx: correct suspend/resume flow thermal: exynos: fix error return code Thermal: ACPI INT3403 thermal driver MAINTAINERS: add thermal bindings entry in thermal domain arm: dts: make OMAP4460 bandgap node to belong to OCP arm: dts: make OMAP443x bandgap node to belong to OCP arm: dts: add cooling properties on omap5 cpu node arm: dts: add omap5 thermal data arm: dts: add omap5 CORE thermal data ...

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki: "As far as the number of commits goes, the top spot belongs to ACPI this time with cpufreq in the second position and a handful of PM core, PNP and cpuidle updates. They are fixes and cleanups mostly, as usual, with a couple of new features in the mix. The most visible change is probably that we will create struct acpi_device objects (visible in sysfs) for all devices represented in the ACPI tables regardless of their status and there will be a new sysfs attribute under those objects allowing user space to check that status via _STA. Consequently, ACPI device eject or generally hot-removal will not delete those objects, unless the table containing the corresponding namespace nodes is unloaded, which is extremely rare. Also ACPI container hotplug will be handled quite a bit differently and cpufreq will support CPU boost ("turbo") generically and not only in the acpi-cpufreq driver. Specifics: - ACPI core changes to make it create a struct acpi_device object for every device represented in the ACPI tables during all namespace scans regardless of the current status of that device. In accordance with this, ACPI hotplug operations will not delete those objects, unless the underlying ACPI tables go away. - On top of the above, new sysfs attribute for ACPI device objects allowing user space to check device status by triggering the execution of _STA for its ACPI object. From Srinivas Pandruvada. - ACPI core hotplug changes reducing code duplication, integrating the PCI root hotplug with the core and reworking container hotplug. - ACPI core simplifications making it use ACPI_COMPANION() in the code "glueing" ACPI device objects to "physical" devices. - ACPICA update to upstream version 20131218. This adds support for the DBG2 and PCCT tables to ACPICA, fixes some bugs and improves debug facilities. From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng and Betty Dall. - Init code change to carry out the early ACPI initialization earlier. That should allow us to use ACPI during the timekeeping initialization and possibly to simplify the EFI initialization too. From Chun-Yi Lee. - Clenups of the inclusions of ACPI headers in many places all over from Lv Zheng and Rashika Kheria (work in progress). - New helper for ACPI _DSM execution and rework of the code in drivers that uses _DSM to execute it via the new helper. From Jiang Liu. - New Win8 OSI blacklist entries from Takashi Iwai. - Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups from Al Stone, Emil Goode, Hanjun Guo, Lan Tianyu, Masanari Iida, Oliver Neukum, Prarit Bhargava, Rashika Kheria, Tang Chen, Zhang Rui. - intel_pstate driver updates, including proper Baytrail support, from Dirk Brandewie and intel_pstate documentation from Ramkumar Ramachandra. - Generic CPU boost ("turbo") support for cpufreq from Lukasz Majewski. - powernow-k6 cpufreq driver fixes from Mikulas Patocka. - cpufreq core fixes and cleanups from Viresh Kumar, Jane Li, Mark Brown. - Assorted cpufreq drivers fixes and cleanups from Anson Huang, John Tobias, Paul Bolle, Paul Walmsley, Sachin Kamat, Shawn Guo, Viresh Kumar. - cpuidle cleanups from Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz. - Support for hibernation APM events from Bin Shi. - Hibernation fix to avoid bringing up nonboot CPUs with ACPI EC disabled during thaw transitions from Bjørn Mork. - PM core fixes and cleanups from Ben Dooks, Leonardo Potenza, Ulf Hansson. - PNP subsystem fixes and cleanups from Dmitry Torokhov, Levente Kurusa, Rashika Kheria. - New tool for profiling system suspend from Todd E Brandt and a cpupower tool cleanup from One Thousand Gnomes" * tag 'pm+acpi-3.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (153 commits) thermal: exynos: boost: Automatic enable/disable of BOOST feature (at Exynos4412) cpufreq: exynos4x12: Change L0 driver data to CPUFREQ_BOOST_FREQ Documentation: cpufreq / boost: Update BOOST documentation cpufreq: exynos: Extend Exynos cpufreq driver to support boost cpufreq / boost: Kconfig: Support for software-managed BOOST acpi-cpufreq: Adjust the code to use the common boost attribute cpufreq: Add boost frequency support in core intel_pstate: Add trace point to report internal state. cpufreq: introduce cpufreq_generic_get() routine ARM: SA1100: Create dummy clk_get_rate() to avoid build failures cpufreq: stats: create sysfs entries when cpufreq_stats is a module cpufreq: stats: free table and remove sysfs entry in a single routine cpufreq: stats: remove hotplug notifiers cpufreq: stats: handle cpufreq_unregister_driver() and suspend/resume properly cpufreq: speedstep: remove unused speedstep_get_state platform: introduce OF style 'modalias' support for platform bus PM / tools: new tool for suspend/resume performance optimization ACPI: fix module autoloading for ACPI enumerated devices ACPI: add module autoloading support for ACPI enumerated devices ACPI: fix create_modalias() return value handling ...

Pull clk framework changes from Mike Turquette: "The first half of the clk framework pull request is made up almost entirely of new platform/driver support. There are some conversions of existing drivers to the common-clock Device Tree binding, and a few non-critical fixes to the framework. Due to an entirely unnecessary cyclical dependency with the arm-soc tree this pull request is broken into two pieces. The second piece will be sent out after arm-soc sends you the pull request that merged in core support for the HiSilicon 3620 platform.

Pull ARM driver updates from Olof Johansson: "Updates of SoC-near drivers and other driver updates that makes more sense to take through our tree. The largest part of this is a conversion of device registration for some renesas shmobile/sh devices over to use resources. This has required coordination with the corresponding arch/sh changes, and we've agreed to merge the arch/sh changes through our tree. Added in this branch is support for Trusted Foundations secure firmware, which is what is used on many of the commercial Nvidia Tegra products that are in the market, including the Nvidia Shield. The code is local to arch/arm at this time since it's uncertain whether it will be shared with arm64 longer-term, if needed we will refactor later.

This patch is used to add support for ms card. The main difference between ms card and mspro card is long data transfer mode. mspro card can use auto mode DMA for long data transfer, but ms can not use this mode, it should use normal mode DMA. The memstick core added support for ms card, but the original driver will make ms card fail at initialization, because it uses auto mode DMA. This patch makes the ms card work properly.

So far, POSIX ACLs are using a canonical representation that keeps all ACL entries in a strict order; the ACL_USER and ACL_GROUP entries for specific users and groups are ordered by user and group identifier, respectively. The user-space code provides ACL entries in this order; the kernel verifies that the ACL entry order is correct in posix_acl_valid(). User namespaces allow to arbitrary map user and group identifiers which can cause the ACL_USER and ACL_GROUP entry order to differ between user space and the kernel; posix_acl_valid() would then fail. Work around this by allowing ACL_USER and ACL_GROUP entries to be in any order in the kernel. The effect is only minor: file permission checks will pick the first matching ACL_USER entry, and check all matching ACL_GROUP entries. (The libacl user-space library and getfacl / setfacl tools will not create ACLs with duplicate user or group idenfifiers; they will handle ACLs with entries in an arbitrary order correctly.)

Right now we seem to be exporting the max data size contained inside vmcoreinfo note. But this does not include the size of meta data around vmcore info data. Like name of the note and starting and ending elf_note. I think user space expects total size and that size is put in PT_NOTE elf header. Things seem to be fine so far because we are not using vmcoreinfo note to the maximum capacity. But as it starts filling up, to capacity, at some point of time, problem will be visible. I don't think user space will be broken with this change. So there is no need to introduce vmcoreinfo2. This change is safe and backward compatible. More explanation on why this change is safe is below. vmcoreinfo contains information about kernel which user space needs to know to do things like filtering. For example, various kernel config options or information about size or offset of some data structures etc. All this information is commmunicated to user space with an ELF note present in ELF /proc/vmcore file. Currently vmcoreinfo data size is 4096. With some elf note meta data around it, actual size is 4132 bytes. But we are using barely 25% of that size. Rest is empty. So even if we tell user space that size of ELf note is 4096 and not 4132, nothing will be broken becase after around 1000 bytes, everything is zero anyway. But once we start filling up the note to the capacity, and not report the full size of note, bad things will start happening. Either some data will be lost or tools will be confused that they did not fine the zero note at the end. So I think this change is safe and should not break existing tools.
