Merge more updates from Andrew Morton:

 - a few misc things

 - kexec updates

 - DMA-mapping updates to better support networking DMA operations

 - IPC updates

 - various MM changes to improve DAX fault handling

 - lots of radix-tree changes, mainly to the test suite. All leading up
   to reimplementing the IDA/IDR code to be a wrapper layer over the
   radix-tree. However the final trigger-pulling patch is held off for
   4.11.

* emailed patches from Andrew Morton &lt;akpm@linux-foundation.org&gt;: (114 commits)
  radix tree test suite: delete unused rcupdate.c
  radix tree test suite: add new tag check
  radix-tree: ensure counts are initialised
  radix tree test suite: cache recently freed objects
  radix tree test suite: add some more functionality
  idr: reduce the number of bits per level from 8 to 6
  rxrpc: abstract away knowledge of IDR internals
  tpm: use idr_find(), not idr_find_slowpath()
  idr: add ida_is_empty
  radix tree test suite: check multiorder iteration
  radix-tree: fix replacement for multiorder entries

This change allows us to pass DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC which allows us to
avoid invoking cache line invalidation if the driver will just handle it
via a sync_for_cpu or sync_for_device call.

<title>nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus</title>

<id>6727ad9e206cc08b80d8000a4d67f8417e53539d</id>
<content type='text'>
When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative.  Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".

We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.

This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

Pull CPU hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:

   - Provide core infrastructure for multi instance drivers so the

   - Convert custom lists to the new infrastructure. The block-mq custom

     tip over to more lines removed than added.

   - Handle unbalanced hotplug enable/disable calls more gracefully.

   - Remove the obsolete CPU_STARTING/DYING notifier support.

   - Convert another batch of notifier users.

   The relayfs changes which conflicted with the conversion have been
   shipped to me by Andrew.

   The remaining lot is targeted for 4.10 so that we finally can remove

<title>tracing: Add NMI tracing in hwlat detector</title>

<id>7b2c86250122de316cbab8754050622ead04af39</id>
<content type='text'>
As NMIs can also cause latency when interrupts are disabled, the hwlat
detectory has no way to know if the latency it detects is from an NMI or an
SMI or some other hardware glitch.

As ftrace_nmi_enter/exit() funtions are no longer used (except for sh, which
isn't supported anymore), I converted those to "arch_ftrace_nmi_enter/exit"
and use ftrace_nmi_enter/exit() to check if hwlat detector is tracing or
not, and if so, it calls into the hwlat utility.

Since the hwlat detector only has a single kthread that is spinning with
interrupts disabled, it marks what CPU it is on, and if the NMI callback
happens on that CPU, it records the time spent in that NMI. This is added to
the output that is generated by the hwlat detector as:

 #3     inner/outer(us):    9/9     ts:1470836488.206734548
 #4     inner/outer(us):    0/8     ts:1470836497.140808588

As NMIs can also cause latency when interrupts are disabled, the hwlat
detectory has no way to know if the latency it detects is from an NMI or an
SMI or some other hardware glitch.

As ftrace_nmi_enter/exit() funtions are no longer used (except for sh, which
isn't supported anymore), I converted those to "arch_ftrace_nmi_enter/exit"
and use ftrace_nmi_enter/exit() to check if hwlat detector is tracing or
not, and if so, it calls into the hwlat utility.

Since the hwlat detector only has a single kthread that is spinning with
interrupts disabled, it marks what CPU it is on, and if the NMI callback
happens on that CPU, it records the time spent in that NMI. This is added to
the output that is generated by the hwlat detector as:

 #3     inner/outer(us):    9/9     ts:1470836488.206734548
 #4     inner/outer(us):    0/8     ts:1470836497.140808588

 #6     inner/outer(us):    9/9     ts:1470836501.140841748

<title>ftrace: Add return address pointer to ftrace_ret_stack</title>

Storing this value will help prevent unwinders from getting out of sync
with the function graph tracer ret_stack.  Now instead of needing a
stateful iterator, they can compare the return address pointer to find
the right ret_stack entry.

Note that an array of 50 ftrace_ret_stack structs is allocated for every
task.  So when an arch implements this, it will add either 200 or 400
bytes of memory usage per task (depending on whether it's a 32-bit or
64-bit platform).
