An architecture should not unconditionally enable 'GENERIC_GPIO'
without providing an implementation. In case of arm64, selecting
ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB is the right solution, because it
lets us enable GPIOLIB when configuring the kernel, and that
implicitly turns on GENERIC_GPIO.

Newer gcc enables the var-tracking pass with -g to keep track which
registers contain which variables. This is one of the slower passes in gcc.
With reduced debug info (aimed at objdump -S, but not using a full debugger)
we don't need this fine grained tracking. But it was still enabled
because -g was enabled. Disable it explicitely for DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED.
On my 8T workstation this gives me about a 12 second gain in building
a reasonable kernel config (2min16 vs 2min28) with DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED.
With full DEBUG_INFO it takes 2min46
The actual improvement in user time taken by the compiler is much higher
(all CPU combined user time 15min5s vs 16m30 before)
but the usual amdahl bottleneck on the linker prevents more speedup.
It still saves some more energy and keeps cycles for other things.

drm/i915/hdmi: Read the HPD status before trying to read the EDID
They reliably cause HDMI to not be detected on some systems (like my
ivb or the bug reporters gm45). To fix up the very slow unplug issues
we might want to fire up a 2nd detect cycle a few hundred ms after
each hotplug. But for now at least make displays work again.
I somewhat suspect that this is confined to HDMI connectors, since all
the machines I have with DP+ outputs work correctly.

On architectures which have symbol prefixes, depmod emits lots of
warnings like this:
WARNING: $module.ko needs unknown symbol $symbol
This is because depmod isn't being passed the -P <symbol_prefix>
arguments to specify the symbol prefix to ignore. This option is
included since the 3.13 release of module-init-tools.
Update scripts/depmod.sh to take extra arguments for the symbol prefix
(required but may be empty), and update the main Makefile to always pass
"$(CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX)" to scripts/depmod.sh.
If the provided symbol prefix is non-empty, scripts/depmod.sh checks if
depmod --version reports module-init-tools with a version number < 3.13
otherwise it appends -P $SYMBOL_PREFIX to the depmod command line.

Commit 10b63956fc which plumbed in UAPI
broke the destination-y functionality of scripts/Makefile.headersinst.
The variable destination-y is used in a := assignment and so is expanded at
declaration time, and the include of the Kbuild fragments that set
destination-y to something is after this time, so it now always expands empty.
There are no in-tree users of destination-y, but it allows any
Kbuild-fragment to redirect where headers are installed.
Just move the assignment of the variable that uses it below the include
of the Kbuild fragment.

'make rpm-pkg' and 'make binrpm-pkg' fail when the kernel source is
read-only. Specifically, when the RPM spec generated by
scripts/package/mkspec is run, KBUILD_SRC happens to be set to the
source location and thus the invocation of 'make headers_install'
fails when an internal call to 'filechk' tries to write a file into
the source tree.
The fix is to clear KBUILD_SRC for the 'make headers_install'

Loop device driver sometimes fails to impose the size limit on the
device. Keep issuing following two commands:
losetup --offset 7517244416 --sizelimit 3224971264 /dev/loop0 backed_file
blockdev --getsize64 /dev/loop0
blockdev reports file size instead of sizelimit several out of 100 times.
The problems are:
- losetup set up the device in two ioctl:
LOOP_SET_FD and LOOP_SET_STATUS64.
- LOOP_SET_STATUS64 only update size of gendisk.
Block device size will be updated lazily when device comes to use. If udev
rushes in between the two ioctl, it will bring in a block device whose
size is backing file size. If the device is not released after
LOOP_SET_STATUS64 ioctl, blockdev will not see the updated size.
Update block size in LOOP_SET_STATUS64 ioctl.

While stress-running very-small container scenarios with the Kernel Memory
Controller, I've run into a lockdep-detected lock imbalance in
cfq-iosched.c.
I'll apologize beforehand for not posting a backlog: I didn't anticipate
it would be so hard to reproduce, so I didn't save my serial output and
went directly on debugging. Turns out that it did not happen again in
more than 20 runs, making it a quite rare pattern.
But here is my analysis:
When we are in very low-memory situations, we will arrive at
cfq_find_alloc_queue and may not find a queue, having to resort to the oom
queue, in an rcu-locked condition:
if (!cfqq || cfqq == &cfqd->oom_cfqq)
[ ... ]
Next, we will release the rcu lock, and try to allocate a queue, retrying
if we succeed:
rcu_read_unlock();
spin_unlock_irq(cfqd->queue->queue_lock);
new_cfqq = kmem_cache_alloc_node(cfq_pool,
gfp_mask | __GFP_ZERO,
cfqd->queue->node);
spin_lock_irq(cfqd->queue->queue_lock);
if (new_cfqq)
goto retry;
We are unlocked at this point, but it should be fine, since we will
reacquire the rcu_read_lock when we retry.
Except of course, that we may not retry: the allocation may very well fail
and we'll keep on going through the flow:
The next branch is:
if (cfqq) {
[ ... ]
} else
cfqq = &cfqd->oom_cfqq;
And right before exiting, we'll issue rcu_read_unlock().
Being already unlocked, this is the likely source of our imbalance. Since
cfqq is either already NULL or made NULL in the first statement of the
outter branch, the only viable alternative here seems to be to return the
oom queue right away in case of allocation failure.
Please review the following patch and apply if you agree with my analysis.

Pull x86 mm changes from Peter Anvin:
"This is a huge set of several partly interrelated (and concurrently
developed) changes, which is why the branch history is messier than
one would like.
The *really* big items are two humonguous patchsets mostly developed
by Yinghai Lu at my request, which completely revamps the way we
create initial page tables. In particular, rather than estimating how
much memory we will need for page tables and then build them into that
memory -- a calculation that has shown to be incredibly fragile -- we
now build them (on 64 bits) with the aid of a "pseudo-linear mode" --
a #PF handler which creates temporary page tables on demand.
This has several advantages:
1. It makes it much easier to support things that need access to data
very early (a followon patchset uses this to load microcode way
early in the kernel startup).
2. It allows the kernel and all the kernel data objects to be invoked
from above the 4 GB limit. This allows kdump to work on very large
systems.
3. It greatly reduces the difference between Xen and native (Xen's
equivalent of the #PF handler are the temporary page tables created
by the domain builder), eliminating a bunch of fragile hooks.
The patch series also gets us a bit closer to W^X.
Additional work in this pull is the 64-bit get_user() work which you
were also involved with, and a bunch of cleanups/speedups to
__phys_addr()/__pa()."
