Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These are three regression fixes, two recent (generic power domains,
  suspend-to-idle) and one older (cpufreq), an ACPI blacklist entry for
  one more machine having problems with Windows 8 compatibility, a minor
  cpufreq driver fix (cpufreq-dt) and a fixup for new callback
  definitions (generic power domains).

  Specifics:

   - Fix a crash in the suspend-to-idle code path introduced by a recent
     commit that forgot to check a pointer against NULL before
     dereferencing it (Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov).

   - Fix a boot crash on Exynos5 introduced by a recent commit making
     that platform use generic Device Tree bindings for power domains
     which exposed a weakness in the generic power domains framework
     leading to that crash (Ulf Hansson).

   - Fix a crash during system resume on systems where cpufreq depends
     on Operation Performance Points (OPP) for functionality, but
     CONFIG_OPP is not set.  This leads the cpufreq driver registration
     to fail, but the resume code attempts to restore the pre-suspend
     cpufreq configuration (which does not exist) nevertheless and
     crashes.  From Geert Uytterhoeven.

   - Add a new ACPI blacklist entry for Dell Vostro 3546 that has
     problems if it is reported as Windows 8 compatible to the BIOS
     (Adam Lee).

   - Fix swapped arguments in an error message in the cpufreq-dt driver
     (Abhilash Kesavan).

   - Fix up the prototypes of new callbacks in struct generic_pm_domain
     to make them more useful.  Users of those callbacks will be added
     in 3.19 and it's better for them to be based on the correct struct
     definition in mainline from the start.  From Ulf Hansson and Kevin
     Hilman"

Pull audit fixes from Paul Moore:
 "After he sent the initial audit pull request for 3.18, Eric asked me
  to take over the management of the audit tree, hence this pull request
  to fix a couple of problems with audit.

  As you can see below, the changes are minimal: adding some whitespace
  to a string so userspace parses it correctly, and fixing a problem
  with audit's usage of fsnotify that was causing audit watch rules to
  be lost.  Neither of these patches were very controversial on the
  mailing lists and they fix real problems, getting them into 3.18 would
  be a good thing"

audit: keep inode pinned

2014-11-11T19:20:22+00:00

Audit rules disappear when an inode they watch is evicted from the cache.
This is likely not what we want.

The guilty commit is "fsnotify: allow marks to not pin inodes in core",
which didn't take into account that audit_tree adds watches with a zero
mask.

Adding any mask should fix this.

tracing: Do not risk busy looping in buffer splice

2014-11-10T21:47:31+00:00

If the read loop in trace_buffers_splice_read() keeps failing due to
memory allocation failures without reading even a single page then this
function will keep busy looping.

Remove the risk for that by exiting the function if memory allocation
failures are seen.

tracing: Do not busy wait in buffer splice

2014-11-10T21:45:43+00:00

On a !PREEMPT kernel, attempting to use trace-cmd results in a soft
lockup:

 # trace-cmd record -e raw_syscalls:* -F false
 NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! [trace-cmd:61]
 ...
 Call Trace:
  [] ? __wake_up_common+0x90/0x90

  [] do_splice_to+0x6d/0x90
  [] SyS_splice+0x7c1/0x800
  [] tracesys_phase2+0xd3/0xd8

The problem is this: tracing_buffers_splice_read() calls
ring_buffer_wait() to wait for data in the ring buffers.  The buffers
are not empty so ring_buffer_wait() returns immediately.  But
tracing_buffers_splice_read() calls ring_buffer_read_page() with full=1,
meaning it only wants to read a full page.  When the full page is not
available, tracing_buffers_splice_read() tries to wait again with
ring_buffer_wait(), which again returns immediately, and so on.

Fix this by adding a "full" argument to ring_buffer_wait() which will
make ring_buffer_wait() wait until the writer has left the reader's
page, i.e.  until full-page reads will succeed.

PM / sleep: Fix entering suspend-to-IDLE if no freeze_oops is set

2014-11-08T21:30:05+00:00

If no freeze_ops is set, trying to enter suspend-to-IDLE will cause a
nice oops in platform_suspend_prepare_late(). Add respective checks to
platform_suspend_prepare_late() and platform_resume_early() functions.

Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These are fixes received after my previous pull request plus one that
  has been in the works for quite a while, but its previous version
  caused problems to happen, so it's been deferred till now.

  Fixed are two recent regressions (MFD enumeration and cpufreq-dt),
  ACPI EC regression introduced in 3.17, system suspend error code path
  regression introduced in 3.15, an older bug related to recovery from
  failing resume from hibernation and a cpufreq-dt driver issue related
  to operation performance points.

  Specifics:

   - Fix a crash on r8a7791/koelsch during resume from system suspend
     caused by a recent cpufreq-dt commit (Geert Uytterhoeven).

   - Fix an MFD enumeration problem introduced by a recent commit adding
     ACPI support to the MFD subsystem that exposed a weakness in the
     ACPI core causing ACPI enumeration to be applied to all devices
     associated with one ACPI companion object, although it should be
     used for one of them only (Mika Westerberg).

   - Fix an ACPI EC regression introduced during the 3.17 cycle causing
     some Samsung laptops to misbehave as a result of a workaround
     targeted at some Acer machines.  That includes a revert of a commit
     that went too far and a quirk for the Acer machines in question.
     From Lv Zheng.

   - Fix a regression in the system suspend error code path introduced
     during the 3.15 cycle that causes it to fail to take errors from
     asychronous execution of "late" suspend callbacks into account
     (Imre Deak).

   - Fix a long-standing bug in the hibernation resume error code path
     that fails to roll back everything correcty on "freeze" callback
     errors and leaves some devices in a "suspended" state causing more
     breakage to happen subsequently (Imre Deak).

   - Make the cpufreq-dt driver disable operation performance points
     that are not supported by the VR connected to the CPU voltage plane
     with acceptable tolerance instead of constantly failing voltage
     scaling later on (Lucas Stach)"

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
 "A bit has accumulated, but it's been a week or so since my last batch
  of post-merge-window fixes, so...

   1) Missing module license in netfilter reject module, from Pablo.
      Lots of people ran into this.

   2) Off by one in mac80211 baserate calculation, from Karl Beldan.

   3) Fix incorrect return value from ax88179_178a driver's set_mac_addr
      op, which broke use of it with bonding.  From Ian Morgan.

   4) Checking of skb_gso_segment()'s return value was not all
      encompassing, it can return an SKB pointer, a pointer error, or
      NULL.  Fix from Florian Westphal.

      This is crummy, and longer term will be fixed to just return error
      pointers or a real SKB.

   6) Encapsulation offloads not being handled by
      skb_gso_transport_seglen().  From Florian Westphal.

   7) Fix deadlock in TIPC stack, from Ying Xue.

   8) Fix performance regression from using rhashtable for netlink
      sockets.  The problem was the synchronize_net() invoked for every
      socket destroy.  From Thomas Graf.

   9) Fix bug in eBPF verifier, and remove the strong dependency of BPF
      on NET.  From Alexei Starovoitov.

  10) In qdisc_create(), use the correct interface to allocate
      ->cpu_bstats, otherwise the u64_stats_sync member isn't
      initialized properly.  From Sabrina Dubroca.

  11) Off by one in ip_set_nfnl_get_byindex(), from Dan Carpenter.

  12) nf_tables_newchain() was erroneously expecting error pointers from
      netdev_alloc_pcpu_stats().  It only returna a valid pointer or
      NULL.  From Sabrina Dubroca.

  13) Fix use-after-free in _decode_session6(), from Li RongQing.

  14) When we set the TX flow hash on a socket, we mistakenly do so
      before we've nailed down the final source port.  Move the setting
      deeper to fix this.  From Sathya Perla.

  15) NAPI budget accounting in amd-xgbe driver was counting descriptors
      instead of full packets, fix from Thomas Lendacky.

  16) Fix total_data_buflen calculation in hyperv driver, from Haiyang
      Zhang.

  17) Fix bcma driver build with OF_ADDRESS disabled, from Hauke
      Mehrtens.

  18) Fix mis-use of per-cpu memory in TCP md5 code.  The problem is
      that something that ends up being vmalloc memory can't be passed
      to the crypto hash routines via scatter-gather lists.  From Eric
      Dumazet.

  19) Fix regression in promiscuous mode enabling in cdc-ether, from
      Olivier Blin.

  20) Bucket eviction and frag entry killing can race with eachother,
      causing an unlink of the object from the wrong list.  Fix from
      Nikolay Aleksandrov.

  21) Missing initialization of spinlock in cxgb4 driver, from Anish
      Bhatt.

  22) Do not cache ipv4 routing failures, otherwise if the sysctl for
      forwarding is subsequently enabled this won't be seen.  From
      Nicolas Cavallari"
