commit 47512cfd0d7a8bd6ab71d01cd89fca19eb2093eb upstream.

The goldfish platform code registers the platform device unconditionally
which causes havoc in several ways if the goldfish_pdev_bus driver is
enabled:

 - Access to the hardcoded physical memory region, which is either not
   available or contains stuff which is completely unrelated.

 - Prevents that the interrupt of the serial port can be requested

 - In case of a spurious interrupt it goes into a infinite loop in the
   interrupt handler of the pdev_bus driver (which needs to be fixed
   seperately).

Add a 'goldfish' command line option to make the registration opt-in when
the platform is compiled in.

I'm seriously grumpy about this engineering trainwreck, which has seven
SOBs from Intel developers for 50 lines of code. And none of them figured
out that this is broken. Impressive fail!

<title>Input: i8042 - skip selftest on ASUS laptops</title>

<id>91af8da4471df91ea680ec83103fcc9d5698a96c</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 930e19248e9b61da36c967687ca79c4d5f977919 upstream.

On suspend/resume cycle, selftest is executed to reset i8042 controller.
But when this is done in Asus devices, subsequent calls to detect/init
functions to elantech driver fails. Skipping selftest fixes this problem.

An easier step to reproduce this problem is adding i8042.reset=1 as a
kernel parameter. On Asus laptops, it'll make the system to start with the
touchpad already stuck, since psmouse_probe forcibly calls the selftest
function.

This patch was inspired by John Hiesey's change[1], but, since this problem
affects a lot of models of Asus, let's avoid running selftests on them.

All models affected by this problem:
A455LD
K401LB
K501LB
K501LX
R409L
V502LX
X302LA
X450LCP
X450LD

commit 1363074667a6b7d0507527742ccd7bbed5e3ceaa upstream.

Add a new NO_REPORT_LUNS quirk and set it for Seagate drives with
an usb-id of: 0bc2:331a, as these will fail to respond to a
REPORT_LUNS command.

Pull drm updates from Dave Airlie:
 "I Was Almost Tempted To Capitalise Every Word, but then I decided I
  couldn't read it myself!

  I've also got one pull request for the sti driver outstanding.  It
  relied on a commit in Greg's tree and I didn't find out in time, that
  commit is in your tree now so I might send that along once this is
  merged.

  I also had the accidental misfortune to have access to a Skylake on my
  desk for a few days, and I've had to encourage Intel to try harder,
  which seems to be happening now.

  Here is the main drm-next pull request for 4.4.

  Highlights:

  New driver:
        vc4 driver for the Rasberry Pi VPU.
        (From Eric Anholt at Broadcom.)

  Core:
        Atomic fbdev support
        Atomic helpers for runtime pm
        dp/aux i2c STATUS_UPDATE handling
        struct_mutex usage cleanups.
        Generic of probing support.

  Documentation:
        Kerneldoc for VGA switcheroo code.
        Rename to gpu instead of drm to reflect scope.

        Enable GPU scheduler by default
        New atombios opcodes
        GPUVM debugging options
        Stoney support.
        Fencing cleanups.

  radeon:
        More efficient CS checking

  nouveau:
        gk20a instance memory handling improvements.
        Improved PGOB detection and GK107 support
        Kepler GDDR5 PLL statbility improvement
        G8x/GT2xx reclock improvements
        new userspace API compatiblity fixes.

  virtio-gpu:
        Add 3D support - qemu 2.5 has it merged for it's gtk backend.

  msm:
        Initial msm88896 (snapdragon 8200)

  exynos:
        HDMI cleanups
        Enable mixer driver byt default

        Add support for R8A7793/4 DU

  armada:
        Remove support for non-component mode
        Improved plane handling
        Power savings while in DPMS off.

        Remove unused slave encoder support
        Use more HDMI helpers
        Fix EDID read handling

        Interlace video mode support for ipu-v3/dw_hdmi
        Hotplug state fixes
        Audio driver integration

  imx:
        More color formats support.

  tegra:
        Minor fixes/improvements"

[ Merge fixup: remove unused variable 'dev' that had all uses removed in
  commit 4e270f088011: "drm/gem: Drop struct_mutex requirement from

Merge patch-bomb from Andrew Morton:

 - inotify tweaks

 - some ocfs2 updates (many more are awaiting review)

 - various misc bits

 - kernel/watchdog.c updates

 - Some of mm.  I have a huge number of MM patches this time and quite a
   lot of it is quite difficult and much will be held over to next time.

* emailed patches from Andrew Morton &lt;akpm@linux-foundation.org&gt;: (162 commits)
  selftests: vm: add tests for lock on fault
  mm: mlock: add mlock flags to enable VM_LOCKONFAULT usage
  mm: introduce VM_LOCKONFAULT
  mm: mlock: add new mlock system call
  mm: mlock: refactor mlock, munlock, and munlockall code
  kasan: always taint kernel on report
  mm, slub, kasan: enable user tracking by default with KASAN=y
  kasan: use IS_ALIGNED in memory_is_poisoned_8()
  kasan: Fix a type conversion error
  lib: test_kasan: add some testcases
  kasan: update reference to kasan prototype repo
  kasan: move KASAN_SANITIZE in arch/x86/boot/Makefile
  kasan: various fixes in documentation
  kasan: update log messages
  kasan: accurately determine the type of the bad access
  kasan: update reported bug types for kernel memory accesses
  kasan: update reported bug types for not user nor kernel memory accesses
  mm/kasan: prevent deadlock in kasan reporting
  mm/kasan: don't use kasan shadow pointer in generic functions

<title>kernel/watchdog.c: perform all-CPU backtrace in case of hard lockup</title>

<content type='text'>
In many cases of hardlockup reports, it's actually not possible to know
why it triggered, because the CPU that got stuck is usually waiting on a
resource (with IRQs disabled) in posession of some other CPU is holding.

IOW, we are often looking at the stacktrace of the victim and not the
actual offender.

Introduce sysctl / cmdline parameter that makes it possible to have
hardlockup detector perform all-CPU backtrace.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "First batch of KVM changes for 4.4.

  s390:
     A bunch of fixes and optimizations for interrupt and time handling.

  PPC:
     Mostly bug fixes.

  ARM:
     No big features, but many small fixes and prerequisites including:

      - a number of fixes for the arch-timer

      - introducing proper level-triggered semantics for the arch-timers

      - a series of patches to synchronously halt a guest (prerequisite
        for IRQ forwarding)

      - some tracepoint improvements

      - a tweak for the EL2 panic handlers

      - some more VGIC cleanups getting rid of redundant state

  x86:
     Quite a few changes:

      - support for VT-d posted interrupts (i.e. PCI devices can inject
        interrupts directly into vCPUs).  This introduces a new
        component (in virt/lib/) that connects VFIO and KVM together.
        The same infrastructure will be used for ARM interrupt
        forwarding as well.

      - more Hyper-V features, though the main one Hyper-V synthetic
        interrupt controller will have to wait for 4.5.  These will let
        KVM expose Hyper-V devices.

      - nested virtualization now supports VPID (same as PCID but for
        vCPUs) which makes it quite a bit faster

      - for future hardware that supports NVDIMM, there is support for
        clflushopt, clwb, pcommit

      - support for "split irqchip", i.e.  LAPIC in kernel +
        IOAPIC/PIC/PIT in userspace, which reduces the attack surface of
        the hypervisor

      - obligatory smattering of SMM fixes

      - on the guest side, stable scheduler clock support was rewritten
        to not require help from the hypervisor"

* tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (123 commits)
  KVM: VMX: Fix commit which broke PML
  KVM: x86: obey KVM_X86_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED in kvm_set_cr0()
