      Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
       "The irq departement delivers:
      
         - plug a potential race related to chained interrupt handlers
      
         - core updates which address the needs of the x86 irqdomain conversion
      
         - new irqchip callback to support affinity settings for VCPUs
      
         - the usual pile of updates to interrupt chip drivers
      
         - a few helper functions to allow further cleanups and
           simplifications
      
        I have a largish pile of coccinelle scripted/verified cleanups and
        simplifications pending on top of that, but I prefer to send that
        towards the end of the merge window when the arch/driver changes have
        hit your tree to avoid API change wreckage as far as possible"

      Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
       "A rather largish update for everything time and timer related:
      
         - Cache footprint optimizations for both hrtimers and timer wheel
      
         - Lower the NOHZ impact on systems which have NOHZ or timer migration
           disabled at runtime.
      
         - Optimize run time overhead of hrtimer interrupt by making the clock
           offset updates smarter

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar:
       "There were so many changes in the x86/asm, x86/apic and x86/mm topics
        in this cycle that the topical separation of -tip broke down somewhat -
        so the result is a more traditional architecture pull request,
        collected into the 'x86/core' topic.
      
        The topics were still maintained separately as far as possible, so
        bisectability and conceptual separation should still be pretty good -
        but there were a handful of merge points to avoid excessive
        dependencies (and conflicts) that would have been poorly tested in the
        end.
      
        The next cycle will hopefully be much more quiet (or at least will
        have fewer dependencies).
      
        The main changes in this cycle were:
      
         * x86/apic changes, with related IRQ core changes: (Jiang Liu, Thomas
           Gleixner)
      
           - This is the second and most intrusive part of changes to the x86
             interrupt handling - full conversion to hierarchical interrupt
             domains:
      
                [IOAPIC domain]   -----
                                       |
                [MSI domain]      --------[Remapping domain] ----- [ Vector domain ]
                                       |   (optional)          |
                [HPET MSI domain] -----                        |
                                                               |
                [DMAR domain]     -----------------------------
                                                               |
                [Legacy domain]   -----------------------------
      
             This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle
             the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which
             can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping.  It's a clear
             separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape
             constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet
             and the vector management.
      
           - Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt
             injection into guests (Feng Wu)
      
         * x86/asm changes:
      
           - Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations.  This
             is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry
             code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski,
             Brian Gerst)
      
           - Moved all system entry related code to a new home under
             arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar)
      
           - Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations.
             Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile
             they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does
             not rely on them (Ingo Molnar)
      
           - NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov)
      
         * x86/mm changes:
      
           - Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and
             preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers -
             in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R
             Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov)
      
           - New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support
             Write-Through cached memory mappings.  This is especially
             important for good performance on NVDIMM hardware (Toshi Kani)
      
         * x86/ras changes:
      
           - Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan)
      
             This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for
             poisoned data.  That means roughly that the hardware marks data
             which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as
             poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the
             form of a deferred error.  It is the OS's responsibility then to
             take proper recovery action and thus prolonge system lifetime as
             far as possible.
      
           - Add support for Intel "Local MCE"s: upcoming CPUs will support
             CPU-local MCE interrupts, as opposed to the traditional system-
             wide broadcasted MCE interrupts (Ashok Raj)
      
           - Misc cleanups (Borislav Petkov)
      
         * x86/platform changes:
      
           - Intel Atom SoC updates
      
        ... and lots of other cleanups, fixlets and other changes - see the
        shortlog and the Git log for details"

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull x86 FPU updates from Ingo Molnar:
       "This tree contains two main changes:
      
         - The big FPU code rewrite: wide reaching cleanups and reorganization
           that pulls all the FPU code together into a clean base in
           arch/x86/fpu/.
      
           The resulting code is leaner and faster, and much easier to
           understand.  This enables future work to further simplify the FPU
           code (such as removing lazy FPU restores).
      
           By its nature these changes have a substantial regression risk: FPU
           code related bugs are long lived, because races are often subtle
           and bugs mask as user-space failures that are difficult to track
           back to kernel side backs.  I'm aware of no unfixed (or even
           suspected) FPU related regression so far.
      
         - MPX support rework/fixes.  As this is still not a released CPU
           feature, there were some buglets in the code - should be much more
           robust now (Dave Hansen)"

       "Various CPU feature support related changes: in particular the
        /proc/cpuinfo model name sanitization change should be monitored, it
        has a chance to break stuff.  (but really shouldn't and there are no
        regression reports)"

      Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
       "Kernel side changes mostly consist of work on x86 PMU drivers:
      
         - x86 Intel PT (hardware CPU tracer) improvements (Alexander
           Shishkin)
      
         - x86 Intel CQM (cache quality monitoring) improvements (Thomas
           Gleixner)
      
         - x86 Intel PEBSv3 support (Peter Zijlstra)
      
         - x86 Intel PEBS interrupt batching support for lower overhead
           sampling (Zheng Yan, Kan Liang)
      
         - x86 PMU scheduler fixes and improvements (Peter Zijlstra)
      
        There's too many tooling improvements to list them all - here are a
        few select highlights:
      
        'perf bench':
      
            - Introduce new 'perf bench futex' benchmark: 'wake-parallel', to
              measure parallel waker threads generating contention for kernel
              locks (hb->lock). (Davidlohr Bueso)
      
        'perf top', 'perf report':
      
            - Allow disabling/enabling events dynamicaly in 'perf top':
              a 'perf top' session can instantly become a 'perf report'
              one, i.e. going from dynamic analysis to a static one,
              returning to a dynamic one is possible, to toogle the
              modes, just press 'f' to 'freeze/unfreeze' the sampling. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
            - Make Ctrl-C stop processing on TUI, allowing interrupting the load of big
              perf.data files (Namhyung Kim)
      
        'perf probe': (Masami Hiramatsu)
      
            - Support glob wildcards for function name
            - Support $params special probe argument: Collect all function arguments
            - Make --line checks validate C-style function name.
            - Add --no-inlines option to avoid searching inline functions
            - Greatly speed up 'perf probe --list' by caching debuginfo.
            - Improve --filter support for 'perf probe', allowing using its arguments
              on other commands, as --add, --del, etc.
      
        'perf sched':
      
            - Add option in 'perf sched' to merge like comms to lat output (Josef Bacik)
      
        Plus tons of infrastructure work - in particular preparation for
        upcoming threaded perf report support, but also lots of other work -
        and fixes and other improvements.  See (much) more details in the
        shortlog and in the git log"

       "The main changes are:
      
         - 'qspinlock' support, enabled on x86: queued spinlocks - these are
           now the spinlock variant used by x86 as they outperform ticket
           spinlocks in every category.  (Waiman Long)
      
         - 'pvqspinlock' support on x86: paravirtualized variant of queued
           spinlocks.  (Waiman Long, Peter Zijlstra)
      
         - 'qrwlock' support, enabled on x86: queued rwlocks.  Similar to
           queued spinlocks, they are now the variant used by x86:

      Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
      
       - Continued initialization/Kconfig updates: hide most Kconfig options
         from unsuspecting users.
      
         There's now a single high level configuration option:
      
              *
              * RCU Subsystem
              *
              Make expert-level adjustments to RCU configuration (RCU_EXPERT) [N/y/?] (NEW)
      
         Which if answered in the negative, leaves us with a single
         interactive configuration option:
      
              Offload RCU callback processing from boot-selected CPUs (RCU_NOCB_CPU) [N/y/?] (NEW)
      
         All the rest of the RCU options are configured automatically.  Later
         on we'll remove this single leftover configuration option as well.
      
       - Remove all uses of RCU-protected array indexes: replace the
         rcu_[access|dereference]_index_check() APIs with READ_ONCE() and
         rcu_lockdep_assert()
      
       - RCU CPU-hotplug cleanups
      
       - Updates to Tiny RCU: a race fix and further code shrinkage.
      
       - RCU torture-testing updates: fixes, speedups, cleanups and
         documentation updates.
      
       - Miscellaneous fixes

      Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
       "In this pile: pathname resolution rewrite.
      
         - recursion in link_path_walk() is gone.
      
         - nesting limits on symlinks are gone (the only limit remaining is
           that the total amount of symlinks is no more than 40, no matter how
           nested).
      
         - "fast" (inline) symlinks are handled without leaving rcuwalk mode.
      
         - stack footprint (independent of the nesting) is below kilobyte now,
           about on par with what it used to be with one level of nested
           symlinks and ~2.8 times lower than it used to be in the worst case.
      
         - struct nameidata is entirely private to fs/namei.c now (not even
           opaque pointers are being passed around).
      
         - ->follow_link() and ->put_link() calling conventions had been
           changed; all in-tree filesystems converted, out-of-tree should be
           able to follow reasonably easily.
      
           For out-of-tree conversions, see Documentation/filesystems/porting
           for details (and in-tree filesystems for examples of conversion).

      hpet_assign_irq() is called with hpet_device->num as "hardware
      interrupt number", but hpet_device->num is initialized after the
      interrupt has been assigned, so it's always 0. As a consequence only
      the first MSI allocation succeeds, the following ones fail because the
      "hardware interrupt number" already exists.
      
      Move the initialization of dev->num and other fields before the call
      to hpet_assign_irq(), which is the ordering before the offending
      commit which introduced that regression.
