      ARM: add soc memory barrier extension · 4e1f8a6f
      Russell King authored 
      Add an extension to the heavy barrier code to allow a SoC specific
memory barrier function to be provided.  This is needed for platforms
where the interconnect has weak ordering, and thus needs assistance
to ensure that memory writes are properly visible in the correct order
to other parts of the system.

      ARM: move heavy barrier support out of line · f8130906
      Russell King authored 
      The existing memory barrier macro causes a significant amount of code
to be inserted inline at every call site.  For example, in
gpio_set_irq_type(), we have this for mb():

c0344c08:       f57ff04e        dsb     st
c0344c0c:       e59f8190        ldr     r8, [pc, #400]  ; c0344da4 <gpio_set_irq_type+0x230>
c0344c10:       e3590004        cmp     r9, #4
c0344c14:       e5983014        ldr     r3, [r8, #20]
c0344c18:       0a000054        beq     c0344d70 <gpio_set_irq_type+0x1fc>
c0344c1c:       e3530000        cmp     r3, #0
c0344c20:       0a000004        beq     c0344c38 <gpio_set_irq_type+0xc4>
c0344c24:       e50b2030        str     r2, [fp, #-48]  ; 0xffffffd0
c0344c28:       e50bc034        str     ip, [fp, #-52]  ; 0xffffffcc
c0344c2c:       e12fff33        blx     r3
c0344c30:       e51bc034        ldr     ip, [fp, #-52]  ; 0xffffffcc
c0344c34:       e51b2030        ldr     r2, [fp, #-48]  ; 0xffffffd0
c0344c38:       e5963004        ldr     r3, [r6, #4]

Moving the outer_cache_sync() call out of line reduces the impact of
the barrier:

c0344968:       f57ff04e        dsb     st
c034496c:       e35a0004        cmp     sl, #4
c0344970:       e50b2030        str     r2, [fp, #-48]  ; 0xffffffd0
c0344974:       0a000044        beq     c0344a8c <gpio_set_irq_type+0x1b8>
c0344978:       ebf363dd        bl      c001d8f4 <arm_heavy_mb>
c034497c:       e5953004        ldr     r3, [r5, #4]

This should reduce the cache footprint of this code.  Overall, this
results in a reduction of around 20K in the kernel size:

    text    data      bss      dec     hex filename
10773970  667392 10369656 21811018 14ccf4a ../build/imx6/vmlinux-old
10754219  667392 10369656 21791267 14c8223 ../build/imx6/vmlinux-new

Another advantage to this approach is that we can finally resolve the
issue of SoCs which have their own memory barrier requirements within
multiplatform kernels (such as OMAP.)  Here, the bus interconnects
need additional handling to ensure that writes become visible in the
correct order (eg, between dma_map() operations, writes to DMA
coherent memory, and MMIO accesses.)

Pull late x86 platform driver updates from Darren Hart:
 "The following came in a bit later and I wanted them to bake in next a
  few more days before submitting, thus the second pull.

  A new intel_pmc_ipc driver, a symmetrical allocation and free fix in
  dell-laptop, a couple minor fixes, and some updated documentation in
  the dell-laptop comments.

  intel_pmc_ipc:
   - Add Intel Apollo Lake PMC IPC driver

  tc1100-wmi:
   - Delete an unnecessary check before the function call "kfree"

  dell-laptop:
   - Fix allocating & freeing SMI buffer page
   - Show info about WiGig and UWB in debugfs
   - Update information about wireless control"

  fs-cache series, DAX patches, Jan's file_remove_suid() work"

      bluetooth: fix list handling · 9b284cbd
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Commit 835a6a2f ("Bluetooth: Stop sabotaging list poisoning")
thought that the code was sabotaging the list poisoning when NULL'ing
out the list pointers and removed it.

But what was going on was that the bluetooth code was using NULL
pointers for the list as a way to mark it empty, and that commit just
broke it (and replaced the test with NULL with a "list_empty()" test on
a uninitialized list instead, breaking things even further).

So fix it all up to use the regular and real list_empty() handling
(which does not use NULL, but a pointer to itself), also making sure to
initialize the list properly (the previous NULL case was initialized
implicitly by the session being allocated with kzalloc())

This is a combination of patches by Marcel Holtmann and Tedd Ho-Jeong
An.

[ I would normally expect to get this through the bt tree, but I'm going
  to release -rc1, so I'm just committing this directly   - Linus ]
