One can logically expect that when the user has specified "nordrand",
the user doesn't want any use of the CPU random number generator,
neither RDRAND nor RDSEED, so disable both.

These serial drivers were removed in kernel v3.1, so we can drop their
documentation files and references to their magic numbers and
parameters.

There are still references to these old drivers in
Documentation/devices.txt but I'm afraid they can't be removed.

Pull more ACPI and power management fixes and updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "This is PM and ACPI material that has emerged over the last two weeks
  and one fix for a CPU hotplug regression introduced by the recent CPU
  hotplug notifiers registration series.

  Included are intel_idle and turbostat updates from Len Brown (these
  have been in linux-next for quite some time), a new cpufreq driver for
  powernv (that might spend some more time in linux-next, but BenH was
  asking me so nicely to push it for 3.15 that I couldn't resist), some
  cpufreq fixes and cleanups (including fixes for some silly breakage in
  a couple of cpufreq drivers introduced during the 3.14 cycle),
  assorted ACPI cleanups, wakeup framework documentation fixes, a new
  sysfs attribute for cpuidle and a new command line argument for power
  domains diagnostics.

  Specifics:

   - Fix for a recently introduced CPU hotplug regression in ARM KVM
     from Ming Lei.

   - Fixes for breakage in the at32ap, loongson2_cpufreq, and unicore32
     cpufreq drivers introduced during the 3.14 cycle (-stable material)
     from Chen Gang and Viresh Kumar.

   - New powernv cpufreq driver from Vaidyanathan Srinivasan, with bits
     from Gautham R Shenoy and Srivatsa S Bhat.

   - Exynos cpufreq driver fix preventing it from being included into
     multiplatform builds that aren't supported by it from Sachin Kamat.

   - cpufreq cleanups related to the usage of the driver_data field in
     struct cpufreq_frequency_table from Viresh Kumar.

   - cpufreq ppc driver cleanup from Sachin Kamat.

   - Intel BayTrail support for intel_idle and ACPI idle from Len Brown.

   - Intel CPU model 54 (Atom N2000 series) support for intel_idle from
     Jan Kiszka.

   - intel_idle fix for Intel Ivy Town residency targets from Len Brown.

   - turbostat updates (Intel Broadwell support and output cleanups)
     from Len Brown.

   - New cpuidle sysfs attribute for exporting C-states' target
     residency information to user space from Daniel Lezcano.

   - New kernel command line argument to prevent power domains enabled
     by the bootloader from being turned off even if they are not in use
     (for diagnostics purposes) from Tushar Behera.

   - Fixes for wakeup sysfs attributes documentation from Geert
     Uytterhoeven.

   - New ACPI video blacklist entry for ThinkPad Helix from Stephen
     Chandler Paul.

   - Assorted ACPI cleanups and a Kconfig help update from Jonghwan
     Choi, Zhihui Zhang, Hanjun Guo"

Keep all power-domains already enabled by bootloader on, even if no
driver has claimed them. This is useful for debug and development, but
should not be needed on a platform with proper driver support.

  pull request for 3.15-rc1 several days ago, but they have spent some
  time in linux-next since then and appear to be good to go.  All of
  them are fixes and cleanups.

  Specifics:

   - Remaining changes from upstream ACPICA release 20140214 that
     introduce code to automatically serialize the execution of methods
     creating any named objects which really cannot be executed in
     parallel with each other anyway (previously ACPICA attempted to
     address that by aborting methods upon conflict detection, but that
     wasn't reliable enough and led to other issues).  From Bob Moore
     and Lv Zheng.

   - intel_pstate fix to use del_timer_sync() instead of del_timer() in
     the exit path before freeing the timer structure from Dirk
     Brandewie (original patch from Thomas Gleixner).

   - cpufreq fix related to system resume from Viresh Kumar.

   - Serialization of frequency transitions in cpufreq that involve
     PRECHANGE and POSTCHANGE notifications to avoid ordering issues
     resulting from race conditions.  From Srivatsa S Bhat and Viresh
     Kumar.

   - Revert of an ACPI processor driver change that was based on a
     specific interpretation of the ACPI spec which may not be correct
     (the relevant part of the spec appears to be incomplete).  From
     Hanjun Guo.

   - Runtime PM core cleanups and documentation updates from Geert

Pull x86 vdso changes from Peter Anvin:
 "This is the revamp of the 32-bit vdso and the associated cleanups.

  This adds timekeeping support to the 32-bit vdso that we already have
  in the 64-bit vdso.  Although 32-bit x86 is legacy, it is likely to
  remain in the embedded space for a very long time to come.

  This removes the traditional COMPAT_VDSO support; the configuration
  variable is reused for simply removing the 32-bit vdso, which will
  produce correct results but obviously suffer a performance penalty.
  Only one beta version of glibc was affected, but that version was
  unfortunately included in one OpenSUSE release.

  This is not the end of the vdso cleanups.  Stefani and Andy have
  agreed to continue work for the next kernel cycle; in fact Andy has
  already produced another set of cleanups that came too late for this
  cycle.

  An incidental, but arguably important, change is that this ensures
  that unused space in the VVAR page is properly zeroed.  It wasn't
  before, and would contain whatever garbage was left in memory by BIOS
  or the bootloader.  Since the VVAR page is accessible to user space
  this had the potential of information leaks"

Pull x86 vdso changes from Peter Anvin:
 "This is the revamp of the 32-bit vdso and the associated cleanups.

  This adds timekeeping support to the 32-bit vdso that we already have
  in the 64-bit vdso.  Although 32-bit x86 is legacy, it is likely to
  remain in the embedded space for a very long time to come.

  This removes the traditional COMPAT_VDSO support; the configuration
  variable is reused for simply removing the 32-bit vdso, which will
  produce correct results but obviously suffer a performance penalty.
  Only one beta version of glibc was affected, but that version was
  unfortunately included in one OpenSUSE release.

  This is not the end of the vdso cleanups.  Stefani and Andy have
  agreed to continue work for the next kernel cycle; in fact Andy has
  already produced another set of cleanups that came too late for this
  cycle.

  An incidental, but arguably important, change is that this ensures
  that unused space in the VVAR page is properly zeroed.  It wasn't
  before, and would contain whatever garbage was left in memory by BIOS
  or the bootloader.  Since the VVAR page is accessible to user space
  this had the potential of information leaks"

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The majority of this material spent some time in linux-next, some of
  it even several weeks.  There are a few relatively fresh commits in
  it, but they are mostly fixes and simple cleanups.

  ACPI took the lead this time, both in terms of the number of commits
  and the number of modified lines of code, cpufreq follows and there
  are a few changes in the PM core and in cpuidle too.

  A new feature that already got some LWN.net's attention is the device
  PM QoS extension allowing latency tolerance requirements to be
  propagated from leaf devices to their ancestors with hardware
  interfaces for specifying latency tolerance.  That should help systems
  with hardware-driven power management to avoid going too far with it
  in cases when there are latency tolerance constraints.

  There also are some significant changes in the ACPI core related to
  the way in which hotplug notifications are handled.  They affect PCI
  hotplug (ACPIPHP) and the ACPI dock station code too.  The bottom line
  is that all those notification now go through the root notify handler
  and are propagated to the interested subsystems by means of callbacks
  instead of having to install a notify handler for each device object
  that we can potentially get hotplug notifications for.

  In addition to that ACPICA will now advertise "Windows 2013"
  compatibility for _OSI, because some systems out there don't work
  correctly if that is not done (some of them don't even boot).

  On the system suspend side of things, all of the device suspend and
  resume callbacks, except for -&gt;prepare() and -&gt;complete(), are now
  going to be executed asynchronously as that turns out to speed up
  system suspend and resume on some platforms quite significantly and we
  have a few more optimizations in that area.

  Apart from that, there are some new device IDs and fixes and cleanups
  all over.  In particular, the system suspend and resume handling by
  cpufreq should be improved and the cpuidle menu governor should be a
  bit more robust now.

  Specifics:

   - Device PM QoS support for latency tolerance constraints on systems
     with hardware interfaces allowing such constraints to be specified.
     That is necessary to prevent hardware-driven power management from
     becoming overly aggressive on some systems and to prevent power
     management features leading to excessive latencies from being used
     in some cases.

   - Consolidation of the handling of ACPI hotplug notifications for
     device objects.  This causes all device hotplug notifications to go
     through the root notify handler (that was executed for all of them
     anyway before) that propagates them to individual subsystems, if
     necessary, by executing callbacks provided by those subsystems
     (those callbacks are associated with struct acpi_device objects
     during device enumeration).  As a result, the code in question
     becomes both smaller in size and more straightforward and all of
     those changes should not affect users.

   - ACPICA update, including fixes related to the handling of _PRT in
     cases when it is broken and the addition of "Windows 2013" to the
     list of supported "features" for _OSI (which is necessary to
     support systems that work incorrectly or don't even boot without
     it).  Changes from Bob Moore and Lv Zheng.

   - Consolidation of ACPI _OST handling from Jiang Liu.

   - ACPI battery and AC fixes allowing unusual system configurations to
     be handled by that code from Alexander Mezin.

   - New device IDs for the ACPI LPSS driver from Chiau Ee Chew.

   - ACPI fan and thermal optimizations related to system suspend and
     resume from Aaron Lu.

   - Cleanups related to ACPI video from Jean Delvare.

   - Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups from Al Stone, Hanjun Guo, Lan
     Tianyu, Paul Bolle, Tomasz Nowicki.

   - Intel RAPL (Running Average Power Limits) driver cleanups from
     Jacob Pan.

   - intel_pstate fixes and cleanups from Dirk Brandewie.

   - cpufreq fixes related to system suspend/resume handling from Viresh
     Kumar.

   - cpufreq core fixes and cleanups from Viresh Kumar, Stratos
     Karafotis, Saravana Kannan, Rashika Kheria, Joe Perches.

   - cpufreq drivers updates from Viresh Kumar, Zhuoyu Zhang, Rob
     Herring.

   - cpuidle fixes related to the menu governor from Tuukka Tikkanen.

   - cpuidle fix related to coupled CPUs handling from Paul Burton.

   - Asynchronous execution of all device suspend and resume callbacks,
     except for -&gt;prepare and -&gt;complete, during system suspend and
     resume from Chuansheng Liu.

   - Delayed resuming of runtime-suspended devices during system suspend
     for the PCI bus type and ACPI PM domain.

   - New set of PM helper routines to allow device runtime PM callbacks
     to be used during system suspend and resume more easily from Ulf
     Hansson.

   - Assorted fixes and cleanups in the PM core from Geert Uytterhoeven,
     Prabhakar Lad, Philipp Zabel, Rashika Kheria, Sebastian Capella.

The previous commit "ACPICA: Add auto-serialization support for ill-behaved
control methods" introduced the auto-serialization facility as a workaround
that can be enabled by "acpi_auto_serialize":

This feature marks control methods that create named objects as "serialized"
to avoid unwanted AE_ALREADY_EXISTS control method evaluation failures.

Enable method auto-serialization as the default kernel behavior.  The new kernel
parameter is also changed from "acpi_auto_serialize" to "acpi_no_auto_serialize"
to reflect the default behavior.
