e0631a31b9 iio: Documentation: fix kernel version for 4.0 new ABI
Kernel version for new ABI in 4.0 has been documented
as 3.20, since the changes have been merged before the kernel
version number change.

Change kernel version from 3.20 to 4.0.

f4f4673b75 iio: add support for hardware fifo
Some devices have hardware buffers that can store a number of samples
for later consumption. Hardware usually provides interrupts to notify
the processor when the FIFO is full or when it has reached a certain
watermark level. This helps with reducing the number of interrupts to
the host processor and thus it helps decreasing the power consumption.

This patch enables usage of hardware FIFOs for IIO devices in
conjunction with software device buffers. When the hardware FIFO is
enabled the samples are stored in the hardware FIFO. The samples are
later flushed to the device software buffer when the number of entries
in the hardware FIFO reaches the hardware watermark or when a flush
operation is triggered by the user when doing a non-blocking read
on an empty software device buffer.

In order to implement hardware FIFO support the device drivers must
implement the following new operations: setting and getting the
hardware FIFO watermark level, flushing the hardware FIFO to the
software device buffer. The device must also expose information about
the hardware FIFO such it's minimum and maximum watermark and if
necessary a list of supported watermark values. Finally, the device
driver must activate the hardware FIFO when the device buffer is
enabled, if the current device settings allows it.

The software device buffer watermark is passed by the IIO core to the
device driver as a hint for the hardware FIFO watermark. The device
driver can adjust this value to allow for hardware limitations (such
as capping it to the maximum hardware watermark or adjust it to a
value that is supported by the hardware). It can also disable the
hardware watermark (and implicitly the hardware FIFO) it this value is
below the minimum hardware watermark.

Since a driver may support hardware FIFO only when not in triggered
buffer mode (due to different semantics of hardware FIFO sampling and
triggered sampling) this patch changes the IIO core code to allow
falling back to non-triggered buffered mode if no trigger is enabled.

37d3455672 iio: add watermark logic to iio read and poll
Currently the IIO buffer blocking read only wait until at least one
data element is available.
This patch makes the reader sleep until enough data is collected before
returning to userspace. This should limit the read() calls count when
trying to get data in batches.

dc5f2c5f6a Merge tag 'iio-for-4.1a' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jic23/iio into staging-next
Jonathan writes:

First set of new drivers, cleanups and functionality for IIO in the 4.1 cycle.

New drivers
* CM3323 color sensor.
* MS5611 pressure and temperature sensor.

New functionality
* mup6050 - create mux clients for devices described via ACPI. The reasoning
     and approach taken in this patch are complex.  Basically there is no
     otherway of finding out what is there than by some esoteric look ups in
     the ACPI data.
* cm3232 - PM support
* itg3200 - suspend/resume support
* mcp320x - add more ADCs to the kconfig to reflect what the driver supports
     (this patch and the bindings got left behind when the support was added
      a while back).

Docs / utils
* ti-adc128s052 - DT bindings.
* mcp3422 - DT bindings.
* mcp320x - DT bindings
* ABI docs for event threshold scale attributes, in_magn_offset, proximity
  scan_element and thresh falling/rising values for accelerometers.  All
  elements long in use that have slipped by being explicitly documented.
* Tidy up the tools previously in drivers/staging/iio/Documentation and move
  them out to /tools/iio. Yet another move that should have happened long ago.
  This time Roberta Dobrescu did the leg work.  Thanks!

Core Cleanups
* Export userspace IIO headers.  We should have done the appropriate header
  splitting a long time ago. Thanks to Daniel for sorting this out.

* Refactor the registring of attributes for buffers to move all non-custom
  ones to a vector allowing easier additions to the current set in the future.

Driver Cleanups
* gpiod related cleanups.  Make use of the additional parameter to specify
  	initial direciton to avoid extra code.
* bmc150 - Various refactorings to reduce code repitition and prepare for
           hardware buffer support.  Some of these cleanups are good even
	   without the new functionality.
* kmx61 - direct use of index to an array avoiding a structure element which
          was always the index to an element in an array of that structure.
* vf610 - avoid incorrect type for return from wait_for_completion_timeout.
* gp2ap020a00f - use put_unaligned_le32 for slight code simplification.
* ade7754 - improve error handling including suppressing some build warnings.
* ade7759 - improve error handling including suppressing some build warnings.
* hmc5843 - Long line and indentation fixes. Also some constifying of various
      constant data.
* ade7854 - 80+ character line splitting.
* ad2s1210 - fix wrong printf format string.
* mxs-lradc - fix wrong printf format string.
* ade7954-i2c - code alignment fixes and other trivial but worthwhile bits.
* periodic rtc trigger - make the frequency type an unsigned int as it
  is always treated as such.
* jsa1212 - constify struct regmap_config as it is constant.
* ad7793 - typo in the MODULE_DESCRIPTION
* mma9551 - check gpiod_to_irq errors.  Note that this doesn't actually cause
    any trouble but is worth tidying up as obviously incorrect.
* mlx90614 - refactor the register symbols to make it clear which reads are to
    RAM not PROM.

db24a9044e net: add support for phys_port_name
Similar to port id allow netdevices to specify port names and export
the name via sysfs. Drivers can implement the netdevice operation to
assist udev in having sane default names for the devices using the
rule:

$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{phys_port_name}!="",
NAME="$attr{phys_port_name}"

Use of phys_name versus phys_id was suggested-by Jiri Pirko.

a877417ed4 HID: expose country code in sysfs
This commit exposes in sysfs the HID country code that is stored in the country
member of hid_device structure. It identifies the country code of localized
hardware.

For example some keyboards use it to exhibit the language of the key layout. It
helps the upper layer to identify the localized hardware and setup the correct
language to use.

For USB HID devices the country code comes for the HID descriptor and for
Bluetooth HID devices it is the HIDCountryCode attribute from the SDP database.

bba681cbb2 f2fs: introduce a batched trim
This patch introduces a batched trimming feature, which submits split discard
commands.

This is to avoid long latency due to huge trim commands.
If fstrim was triggered ranging from 0 to the end of device, we should lock
all the checkpoint-related mutexes, resulting in very long latency.

1d9c5d79e6 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching
Pull live patching infrastructure from Jiri Kosina:
 "Let me provide a bit of history first, before describing what is in
  this pile.

  Originally, there was kSplice as a standalone project that implemented
  stop_machine()-based patching for the linux kernel.  This project got
  later acquired, and the current owner is providing live patching as a
  proprietary service, without any intentions to have their
  implementation merged.

  Then, due to rising user/customer demand, both Red Hat and SUSE
  started working on their own implementation (not knowing about each
  other), and announced first versions roughly at the same time [1] [2].

  The principle difference between the two solutions is how they are
  making sure that the patching is performed in a consistent way when it
  comes to different execution threads with respect to the semantic
  nature of the change that is being introduced.

  In a nutshell, kPatch is issuing stop_machine(), then looking at
  stacks of all existing processess, and if it decides that the system
  is in a state that can be patched safely, it proceeds insterting code
  redirection machinery to the patched functions.

  On the other hand, kGraft provides a per-thread consistency during one
  single pass of a process through the kernel and performs a lazy
  contignuous migration of threads from "unpatched" universe to the
  "patched" one at safe checkpoints.

  If interested in a more detailed discussion about the consistency
  models and its possible combinations, please see the thread that
  evolved around [3].

  It pretty quickly became obvious to the interested parties that it's
  absolutely impractical in this case to have several isolated solutions
  for one task to co-exist in the kernel.  During a dedicated Live
  Kernel Patching track at LPC in Dusseldorf, all the interested parties
  sat together and came up with a joint aproach that would work for both
  distro vendors.  Steven Rostedt took notes [4] from this meeting.

  And the foundation for that aproach is what's present in this pull
  request.

  It provides a basic infrastructure for function "live patching" (i.e.
  code redirection), including API for kernel modules containing the
  actual patches, and API/ABI for userspace to be able to operate on the
  patches (look up what patches are applied, enable/disable them, etc).

  It's relatively simple and minimalistic, as it's making use of
  existing kernel infrastructure (namely ftrace) as much as possible.
  It's also self-contained, in a sense that it doesn't hook itself in
  any other kernel subsystem (it doesn't even touch any other code).
  It's now implemented for x86 only as a reference architecture, but
  support for powerpc, s390 and arm is already in the works (adding
  arch-specific support basically boils down to teaching ftrace about
  regs-saving).

  Once this common infrastructure gets merged, both Red Hat and SUSE
  have agreed to immediately start porting their current solutions on
  top of this, abandoning their out-of-tree code.  The plan basically is
  that each patch will be marked by flag(s) that would indicate which
  consistency model it is willing to use (again, the details have been
  sketched out already in the thread at [3]).

  Before this happens, the current codebase can be used to patch a large
  group of secruity/stability problems the patches for which are not too
  complex (in a sense that they don't introduce non-trivial change of
  function's return value semantics, they don't change layout of data
  structures, etc) -- this corresponds to LEAVE_FUNCTION &&
  SWITCH_FUNCTION semantics described at [3].

b0dcaf4fbb samsung-laptop: enable better lid handling
Some Samsung laptops with SABI3 delay the sleep for 10 seconds after
the lid is closed and do not wake up from sleep after the lid is opened.
A SABI command is needed to enable the better behavior.

Command = 0x6e, d0 = 0x81 enables this behavior. Returns d0 = 0x01.
Command = 0x6e, d0 = 0x80 disables this behavior. Returns d0 = 0x00.

Command = 0x6d and any d0 queries the state. This returns:
d0 = 0x00000*01, d1 = 0x00, d2 = 0x00, d3 = 0x0* when it is enabled.
d0 = 0x00000*00, d1 = 0x00, d2 = 0x00, d3 = 0x0* when it is disabled.
Where * is 0 - laptop has never slept or hibernated after switch on,
           1 - laptop has hibernated just before,
           2 - laptop has slept just before.

Patch addresses bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75901 .
It adds a sysfs attribute lid_handling with a description and also an
addition to the quirks structure to enable the mode by default.

A user with another laptop in the bug report says that "power button has
to be pressed twice to wake the machine" when he or she enabled the mode
manually using the SABI command. Therefore, it is enabled by default
only for the single laptop that I have tested.

b087e6190d cxl: Export optional AFU configuration record in sysfs
An AFU may optionally contain one or more PCIe like configuration
records, which can be used to identify the AFU.

This patch adds support for exposing the raw config space and the
vendor, device and class code under sysfs. These will appear in a
subdirectory of the AFU device corresponding with the configuration
record number, e.g.

cat /sys/class/cxl/afu0.0/cr0/vendor
0x1014

cat /sys/class/cxl/afu0.0/cr0/device
0x4350

cat /sys/class/cxl/afu0.0/cr0/class
0x120000

hexdump -C /sys/class/cxl/afu0.0/cr0/config
00000000  14 10 50 43 00 00 00 00  06 00 00 12 00 00 00 00  |..PC............|

*
00000100

These files behave in much the same way as the equivalent files for PCI
devices, with one exception being that the config file is currently
read-only and restricted to the root user. It is not necessarily
required to be this strict, but we currently do not have a compelling
use-case to make it writable and/or world-readable, so I erred on the
side of being restrictive.

2f0ecb7c65 iio: core: Introduce IIO_CHAN_INFO_DEBOUNCE_COUNT and _TIME
The pedometer needs to filter out false steps that might be generated by
tapping the foot, sitting, etc. To do that it computes the number of
steps that occur in a given time and decides the user is moving only
if this value is over a threshold. E.g.: the user starts moving only
if he takes 4 steps in 3 seconds. This filter is applied only when
the user starts moving.

A device that has such pedometer functionality is Freescale's MMA9553L:
http://www.freescale.com/files/sensors/doc/ref_manual/MMA9553LSWRM.pdf.

To export this feature, this patch introduces IIO_CHAN_INFO_DEBOUNCE_COUNT
and IIO_CHAN_INFO_DEBOUNCE_TIME. For the pedometer, in_steps_debounce_count
will specify the number of steps that need to occur in
in_steps_debounce_time seconds so that the pedometer decides the user is
moving.

Adds reset to sysfs which will PERST the card. If load_image_on_perst is set
to "user" or "factory", the PERST will cause that image to be loaded.

load_image_on_perst is set to "user" for production.

"none" could be used for debugging. The PSL trace arrays are preserved which
then can be read through debugfs.

PERST also triggers CAPP recovery. An HMI comes in, which is handled by EEH.
EEH unbinds the driver, calls into Sapphire to reinitialize the PHB, then
rebinds the driver.

A value of "none" means PERST will not cause the image to be flashed. A
power cycle to the pcie slot is required to load the image.

"user" loads the user provided image and "factory" loads the factory image upon

98a43e0e99 perf Documentation: Add event parameters
Event parameters are a basic way for partial events to be specified in
sysfs with per-event names given to the fields that need to be filled in
when using a particular event.

It is intended for supporting cases where the single 'cpu' parameter is
insufficient. For example, POWER 8 has events for physical
sockets/cores/cpus that are accessible from with virtual machines. To
keep using the single 'cpu' parameter we'd need to perform a mapping
between Linux's cpus and the physical machine's cpus (in this case Linux
is running under a hypervisor). This isn't possible because bindings
between our cpus and physical cpus may not be fixed, and we probably
