   - Be more picky about uid and gid handling WRT namespaces.

     Our use of current_user_ns() instead of init_user_ns left open the

Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The new feaures here are the support for ACPI overlays (allowing ACPI
  tables to be loaded at any time from EFI variables or via configfs)
  and the LPI (Low-Power Idle) support.  Also notable is the ACPI-based
  NUMA support for ARM64.

  Apart from that we have two new drivers, for the DPTF (Dynamic Power
  and Thermal Framework) power participant device and for the Intel
  Broxton WhiskeyCove PMIC, some more PMIC-related changes, support for
  the Boot Error Record Table (BERT) in APEI and support for
  platform-initiated graceful shutdown.

  Plus two new pieces of documentation and usual assorted fixes and
  cleanups in quite a few places.

  Specifics:

   - Support for ACPI SSDT overlays allowing Secondary System
     Description Tables (SSDTs) to be loaded at any time from EFI
     variables or via configfs (Octavian Purdila, Mika Westerberg).

   - Support for the ACPI LPI (Low-Power Idle) feature introduced in
     ACPI 6.0 and allowing processor idle states to be represented in
     ACPI tables in a hierarchical way (with the help of Processor
     Container objects) and support for ACPI idle states management on
     ARM64, based on LPI (Sudeep Holla).

   - General improvements of ACPI support for NUMA and ARM64 support for
     ACPI-based NUMA (Hanjun Guo, David Daney, Robert Richter).

   - General improvements of the ACPI table upgrade mechanism and ARM64
     support for that feature (Aleksey Makarov, Jon Masters).

   - Support for the Boot Error Record Table (BERT) in APEI and
     improvements of kernel messages printed by the error injection code
     (Huang Ying, Borislav Petkov).

   - New driver for the Intel Broxton WhiskeyCove PMIC operation region
     and support for the REGS operation region on Broxton, PMIC code
     cleanups (Bin Gao, Felipe Balbi, Paul Gortmaker).

   - New driver for the power participant device which is part of the
     Dynamic Power and Thermal Framework (DPTF) and DPTF-related code
     reorganization (Srinivas Pandruvada).

   - Support for the platform-initiated graceful shutdown feature
     introduced in ACPI 6.1 (Prashanth Prakash).

   - ACPI button driver update related to lid input events generated
     automatically on initialization and system resume that have been
     problematic for some time (Lv Zheng).

   - ACPI EC driver cleanups (Lv Zheng).

   - Documentation of the ACPICA release automation process and the
     in-kernel ACPI AML debugger (Lv Zheng).

   - New blacklist entry and two fixes for the ACPI backlight driver
     (Alex Hung, Arvind Yadav, Ralf Gerbig).

   - Cleanups of the ACPI pci_slot driver (Joe Perches, Paul Gortmaker).

   - ACPI CPPC code changes to make it more robust against possible
     defects in ACPI tables and new symbol definitions for PCC (Hoan
     Tran).

   - System reboot code modification to execute the ACPI _PTS (Prepare
     To Sleep) method in addition to _TTS (Ocean He).

   - ACPICA-related change to carry out lock ordering checks in ACPICA
     if ACPICA debug is enabled in the kernel (Lv Zheng).

Pull power management updates from Rafael  Wysocki:
 "Again, the majority of changes go into the cpufreq subsystem, but
  there are no big features this time.  The cpufreq changes that stand
  out somewhat are the governor interface rework and improvements
  related to the handling of frequency tables.  Apart from those, there
  are fixes and new device/CPU IDs in drivers, cleanups and an
  improvement of the new schedutil governor.

  Next, there are some changes in the hibernation core, including a fix
  for a nasty problem related to the MONITOR/MWAIT usage by CPU offline
  during resume from hibernation, a few core improvements related to
  memory management during resume, a couple of additional debug features
  and cleanups.

  Finally, we have some fixes and cleanups in the devfreq subsystem,
  generic power domains framework improvements related to system
  suspend/resume, support for some new chips in intel_idle and in the
  power capping RAPL driver, a new version of the AnalyzeSuspend utility
  and some assorted fixes and cleanups.

  Specifics:

   - Rework the cpufreq governor interface to make it more
     straightforward and modify the conservative governor to avoid using
     transition notifications (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Rework the handling of frequency tables by the cpufreq core to make
     it more efficient (Viresh Kumar).

   - Modify the schedutil governor to reduce the number of wakeups it
     causes to occur in cases when the CPU frequency doesn't need to be
     changed (Steve Muckle, Viresh Kumar).

   - Fix some minor issues and clean up code in the cpufreq core and
     governors (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar).

   - Add Intel Broxton support to the intel_pstate driver (Srinivas
     Pandruvada).

   - Fix problems related to the config TDP feature and to the validity
     of the MSR_HWP_INTERRUPT register in intel_pstate (Jan Kiszka,
     Srinivas Pandruvada).

   - Make intel_pstate update the cpu_frequency tracepoint even if the
     frequency doesn't change to avoid confusing powertop (Rafael
     Wysocki).

   - Clean up the usage of __init/__initdata in intel_pstate, mark some
     of its internal variables as __read_mostly and drop an unused
     structure element from it (Jisheng Zhang, Carsten Emde).

   - Clean up the usage of some duplicate MSR symbols in intel_pstate
     and turbostat (Srinivas Pandruvada).

   - Update/fix the powernv, s3c24xx and mvebu cpufreq drivers (Akshay
     Adiga, Viresh Kumar, Ben Dooks).

   - Fix a regression (introduced during the 4.5 cycle) in the
     pcc-cpufreq driver by reverting the problematic commit (Andreas
     Herrmann).

   - Add support for Intel Denverton to intel_idle, clean up Broxton
     support in it and make it explicitly non-modular (Jacob Pan, Jan
     Beulich, Paul Gortmaker).

   - Add support for Denverton and Ivy Bridge server to the Intel RAPL
     power capping driver and make it more careful about the handing of
     MSRs that may not be present (Jacob Pan, Xiaolong Wang).

   - Fix resume from hibernation on x86-64 by making the CPU offline
     during resume avoid using MONITOR/MWAIT in the "play dead" loop
     which may lead to an inadvertent "revival" of a "dead" CPU and a
     page fault leading to a kernel crash from it (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Make memory management during resume from hibernation more
     straightforward (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Add debug features that should help to detect problems related to
     hibernation and resume from it (Rafael Wysocki, Chen Yu).

   - Clean up hibernation core somewhat (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Prevent KASAN from instrumenting the hibernation core which leads
     to large numbers of false-positives from it (James Morse).

   - Prevent PM (hibernate and suspend) notifiers from being called
     during the cleanup phase if they have not been called during the
     corresponding preparation phase which is possible if one of the
     other notifiers returns an error at that time (Lianwei Wang).

   - Improve suspend-related debug printout in the tasks freezer and
     clean up suspend-related console handling (Roger Lu, Borislav
     Petkov).

   - Update the AnalyzeSuspend script in the kernel sources to version
     4.2 (Todd Brandt).

   - Modify the generic power domains framework to make it handle system
     suspend/resume better (Ulf Hansson).

   - Make the runtime PM framework avoid resuming devices synchronously
     when user space changes the runtime PM settings for them and
     improve its error reporting (Rafael Wysocki, Linus Walleij).

   - Fix error paths in devfreq drivers (exynos, exynos-ppmu,
     exynos-bus) and in the core, make some devfreq code explicitly
     non-modular and change some of it into tristate (Bartlomiej
     Zolnierkiewicz, Peter Chen, Paul Gortmaker).

   - Add DT support to the generic PM clocks management code and make it
     export some more symbols (Jon Hunter, Paul Gortmaker).

   - Make the PCI PM core code slightly more robust against possible
     driver errors (Andy Shevchenko).

   - Make it possible to change DESTDIR and PREFIX in turbostat (Andy
     Shevchenko)"

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "Some big changes this month, headlined by the addition of a new
  formatted documentation mechanism based on the Sphinx system.

  The objectives here are to make it easier to create better-integrated
  (and more attractive) documents while (eventually) dumping our
  one-of-a-kind, cobbled-together system for something that is widely
  used and maintained by others.  There's a fair amount of information
  what's being done, why, and how to use it in:

    https://lwn.net/Articles/692704/
    https://lwn.net/Articles/692705/

  Closer to home, Documentation/kernel-documentation.rst describes how
  it works.

  For now, the new system exists alongside the old one; you should soon
  see the GPU documentation converted over in the DRM pull and some
  significant media conversion work as well.  Once all the docs have
  been moved over and we're convinced that the rough edges (of which are
  are a few) have been smoothed over, the DocBook-based stuff should go
  away.

  Primary credit is to Jani Nikula for doing the heavy lifting to make
  this stuff actually work; there has also been notable effort from
  Markus Heiser, Daniel Vetter, and Mauro Carvalho Chehab.

  Expect a couple of conflicts on the new index.rst file over the course
  of the merge window; they are trivially resolvable.  That file may be
  a bit of a conflict magnet in the short term, but I don't expect that
  situation to last for any real length of time.

  Beyond that, of course, we have the usual collection of tweaks,
  updates, and typo fixes"

Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
 "There are a couple of new things for s390 with this merge request:

   - a new scheduling domain "drawer" is added to reflect the unusual
     topology found on z13 machines.  Performance tests showed up to 8
     percent gain with the additional domain.

   - the new crc-32 checksum crypto module uses the vector-galois-field
     multiply and sum SIMD instruction to speed up crc-32 and crc-32c.

   - proper __ro_after_init support, this requires RO_AFTER_INIT_DATA in
     the generic vmlinux.lds linker script definitions.

   - kcov instrumentation support.  A prerequisite for that is the
     inline assembly basic block cleanup, which is the reason for the
     net/iucv/iucv.c change.

   - support for 2GB pages is added to the hugetlbfs backend.

  Then there are two removals:

   - the oprofile hardware sampling support is dead code and is removed.
     The oprofile user space uses the perf interface nowadays.

   - the ETR clock synchronization is removed, this has been superseeded
     be the STP clock synchronization.  And it always has been
     "interesting" code..

  And the usual bug fixes and cleanups"

Pull KVM leftovers from Radim Krčmář:
 "This is a combination of two pull requests for 4.7-rc8 that were not
  merged due to looking hairy.  I have changed the tag message to focus
  on circumstances of contained reverts as they were likely the reason
  behind rejection.

  This merge introduces three patches that are later reverted,

   - Switching of MSR_TSC_AUX in SVM was thought to cause a host
     misbehavior, but it was later cleared of those doubts and the patch
     moved code to a hot path, so we reverted it.  That patch also
     needed a fix for 32 bit builds and both were reverted in one go.

   - Al Viro noticed that a fix for a leak in an error path was not
     valid with the given API and provided a better fix, so the original
     patch was reverted.

  Then there are two VMX fixes that move code around because VMCS was
  not accessed between vcpu_load() and vcpu_put(), a simple ARM VHE fix,
  and two one-liners for PML and MTRR"

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "With over 300 commits it's been a busy cycle - with most of the work
  concentrated on the tooling side (as it should).

  The main kernel side enhancements were:

   - Add per event callchain limit: Recently we introduced a sysctl to
     tune the max-stack for all events for which callchains were
     requested:

       $ sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_stack
       kernel.perf_event_max_stack = 127

     Now this patch introduces a way to configure this per event, i.e.
     this becomes possible:

       $ perf record -e sched:*/max-stack=2/ -e block:*/max-stack=10/ -a

     allowing finer tuning of how much buffer space callchains use.

     This uses an u16 from the reserved space at the end, leaving
     another u16 for future use.

     There has been interest in even finer tuning, namely to control the
     max stack for kernel and userspace callchains separately.  Further
     discussion is needed, we may for instance use the remaining u16 for
     that and when it is present, assume that the sample_max_stack
     introduced in this patch applies for the kernel, and the u16 left
     is used for limiting the userspace callchain (Arnaldo Carvalho de
     Melo)

   - Optimize AUX event (hardware assisted side-band event) delivery
     (Kan Liang)

   - Rework Intel family name macro usage (this is partially x86 arch
     work) (Dave Hansen)

   - Refine and fix Intel LBR support (David Carrillo-Cisneros)

   - Add support for Intel 'TopDown' events (Andi Kleen)

   - Intel uncore PMU driver fixes and enhancements (Kan Liang)

   - ... other misc changes.

  Here's an incomplete list of the tooling enhancements (but there's
  much more, see the shortlog and the git log for details):

   - Support cross unwinding, i.e.  collecting '--call-graph dwarf'
     perf.data files in one machine and then doing analysis in another
     machine of a different hardware architecture.  This enables, for
     instance, to do:

       $ perf record -a --call-graph dwarf

     on a x86-32 or aarch64 system and then do 'perf report' on it on a
     x86_64 workstation (He Kuang)

   - Allow reading from a backward ring buffer (one setup via
     sys_perf_event_open() with perf_event_attr.write_backward = 1)
     (Wang Nan)

   - Finish merging initial SDT (Statically Defined Traces) support, see
     cset comments for details about how it all works (Masami Hiramatsu)

   - Support attaching eBPF programs to tracepoints (Wang Nan)

   - Add demangling of symbols in programs written in the Rust language
     (David Tolnay)

   - Add support for tracepoints in the python binding, including an
     example, that sets up and parses sched:sched_switch events,
     tools/perf/python/tracepoint.py (Jiri Olsa)

   - Introduce --stdio-color to set up the color output mode selection
     in 'annotate' and 'report', allowing emit color escape sequences
     when redirecting the output of these tools (Arnaldo Carvalho de
     Melo)

   - Add 'callindent' option to 'perf script -F', to indent the Intel PT
     call stack, making this output more ftrace-like (Adrian Hunter,
     Andi Kleen)

   - Allow dumping the object files generated by llvm when processing
     eBPF scriptlet events (Wang Nan)

   - Add stackcollapse.py script to help generating flame graphs (Paolo
     Bonzini)

   - Add --ldlat option to 'perf mem' to specify load latency for loads
     event (e.g. cpu/mem-loads/ ) (Jiri Olsa)

   - Tooling support for Intel TopDown counters, recently added to the
     kernel (Andi Kleen)"

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The locking tree was busier in this cycle than the usual pattern - a
  couple of major projects happened to coincide.

     across all SMP architectures (Peter Zijlstra)

   - add atomic_fetch_{inc/dec}() as well, using the generic primitives
     (Davidlohr Bueso)

   - optimize various aspects of rwsems (Jason Low, Davidlohr Bueso,
     Waiman Long)

     atomic{,64}_fetch_{add,sub,and,andnot,or,xor}{,_relaxed,_acquire,_release}()
     on arm64 (Will Deacon)

   - introduce smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep() and fix various barrier
     mis-uses and bugs (Peter Zijlstra)

   - after discovering ancient spin_unlock_wait() barrier bugs in its
     implementation and usage, strengthen its semantics and update/fix
     usage sites (Peter Zijlstra)

This reverts commit e083a21f.

Not needed at all, tools/perf/util/perf_regs.h, included via:

  #include "perf_regs.h"

Should have a definition for PERF_REGS_MAX, and since this is dependent
on HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT, fixes the build on powerpc, noticed by trying
to cross compile this from ubuntu16.04 with a locally build libz &
elfutils pair, since those are not available in multilib packages.
