To respond to a certain developer's request, this explicitly state that
developers can reimplement the nilfs2 design for other operating systems
to share data stored in that format.

Add a helper which aids in the identification of DP dual mode
(aka. DP++) adaptors. There are several types of adaptors
specified: type 1 DVI, type 1 HDMI, type 2 DVI, type 2 HDMI
Type 1 adaptors have a max TMDS clock limit of 165MHz, type 2 adaptors
may go as high as 300MHz and they provide a register informing the
source device what the actual limit is. Supposedly also type 1 adaptors
may optionally implement this register. This TMDS clock limit is the
main reason why we need to identify these adaptors.
Type 1 adaptors provide access to their internal registers and the sink
DDC bus through I2C. Type 2 adaptors provide this access both via I2C
and I2C-over-AUX. A type 2 source device may choose to implement either
of these methods. If a source device implements the I2C-over-AUX
method, then the driver will obviously need specific support for such
adaptors since the port is driven like an HDMI port, but DDC
communication happes over the AUX channel.
This helper should be enough to identify the adaptor type (some
type 1 DVI adaptors may be a slight exception) and the maximum TMDS
clock limit. Another feature that may be available is control over
the TMDS output buffers on the adaptor, possibly allowing for some
power saving when the TMDS link is down.
Other user controllable features that may be available in the adaptors
are downstream i2c bus speed control when using i2c-over-aux, and
some control over the CEC pin. I chose not to provide any helper
functions for those since I have no use for them in i915 at this time.
The rest of the registers in the adaptor are mostly just information,
eg. IEEE OUI, hardware and firmware revision, etc.
v2: Pass adaptor type to helper functions to ease driver implementation
Fix a bunch of typoes (Paulo)
Add DRM_DP_DUAL_MODE_UNKNOWN for the case where we don't (yet) know
the type (Paulo)
Reject 0x00 and 0xff DP_DUAL_MODE_MAX_TMDS_CLOCK values (Paulo)
Adjust drm_dp_dual_mode_detect() type2 vs. type1 detection to
ease future LSPCON enabling
Remove the unused DP_DUAL_MODE_LAST_RESERVED define
v3: Fix kernel doc function argument descriptions (Jani)
s/NONE/UNKNOWN/ in drm_dp_dual_mode_detect() docs
Add kernel doc for enum drm_dp_dual_mode_type
Actually build the docs
Fix more typoes
v4: Adjust code indentation of type2 adaptor detection (Shashank)

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clk/linux
Pull clk updates from Stephen Boyd:
"It's the usual big pile of driver updates and additions, but we do
have a couple core changes in here as well.
Core:
- CLK_IS_CRITICAL support has been added. This should allow drivers
to properly express that a certain clk should stay on even if their
prepare/enable count drops to 0 (and in turn the parents of these
clks should stay enabled).
- A clk registration API has been added, clk_hw_register(), and an OF
clk provider API has been added, of_clk_add_hw_provider(). These
APIs have been put in place to further split clk providers from clk
consumers, with the goal being to have clk providers never deal
with struct clk pointers at all. Conversion of provider drivers is
on going. clkdev has also gained support for registering clk_hw
pointers directly so we can convert drivers that don't use
devicetree.
New Drivers:
- Marvell ap806 and cp110 system controllers (with clks inside!)
- Hisilicon Hi3519 clock and reset controller
- Axis ARTPEC-6 clock controllers
- Oxford Semiconductor OXNAS clock controllers
- AXS10X I2S PLL
- Rockchip RK3399 clock and reset controller
Updates:
- MMC2 and UART2 clks on Samsung Exynos 3250, ACLK on Samsung Exynos
542x SoCs, and some more clk ID exporting for bus frequency scaling
- Proper BCM2835 PCM clk support and various other clks
- i.MX clk updates for i.MX6SX, i.MX7, and VF610

It's not possible to read the process umask without also modifying it,
which is what umask(2) does. A library cannot read umask safely,
especially if the main program might be multithreaded.
Add a new status line ("Umask") in /proc/<PID>/status. It contains the
file mode creation mask (umask) in octal. It is only shown for tasks
which have task->fs.
This patch is adapted from one originally written by Pierre Carrier.
The use case is that we have endless trouble with people setting weird
umask() values (usually on the grounds of "security"), and then
everything breaking. I'm on the hook to fix these. We'd like to add
debugging to our program so we can dump out the umask in debug reports.
Previous versions of the patch used a syscall so you could only read
your own umask. That's all I need. However there was quite a lot of
push-back from those, so this new version exports it in /proc.

zram developers may need. This file is not meant to be used by anyone
else: its content is not documented and will change any time w/o any
notice. Therefore, the output of debug_stat file contains a version
string. To avoid any confusion, we will increase the version number
every time we modify the output.
At the moment this file exports only one value -- the number of
re-compressions, IOW, the number of times compression fast path has
failed. This stat is temporary any will be useful in case if any
per-cpu compression streams regressions will be reported.

Remove the internal part of max_comp_streams interface, since we
switched to per-cpu streams. We will keep RW max_comp_streams attr
around, because:
a) we may (silently) switch back to idle compression streams list and
don't want to disturb user space
b) max_comp_streams attr must wait for the next 'lay off cycle'; we
give user space 2 years to adjust before we remove/downgrade the attr,
and there are already several attrs scheduled for removal in 4.11, so
it's too late for max_comp_streams.
This slightly change a user visible behaviour:
- First, reading from max_comp_stream file now will always return the
number of online CPUs.
- Second, writing to max_comp_stream will not take any effect.

This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing
compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages
per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher
compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its
predecessor.
This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux
Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these
discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page
allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher
compression ratio.
To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always
stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store
up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the
compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x.
The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree.
This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g.
ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on
comments from Dan Streetman [3].

This patchset continues the work I started with commit 31bc3858ea3e
("memory-hotplug: add automatic onlining policy for the newly added
memory").
Initially I was going to stop there and bring the policy setting logic
to userspace. I met two issues on this way:
1) It is possible to have memory hotplugged at boot (e.g. with QEMU).
These blocks stay offlined if we turn the onlining policy on by
userspace.
2) My attempt to bring this policy setting to systemd failed, systemd
maintainers suggest to change the default in kernel or ... to use
tmpfiles.d to alter the policy (which looks like a hack to me):
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/2938
Here I suggest to add a config option to set the default value for the
policy and a kernel command line parameter to make the override.
This patch (of 2):
Introduce config option to set the default value for memory hotplug
onlining policy (/sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks). The
reason one would want to turn this option on are to have early onlining
for hotpluggable memory available at boot and to not require any
userspace actions to make memory hotplug work.

Provide /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh to force an immediate update of
per-cpu into global vmstats: useful to avoid a sleep(2) or whatever
before checking counts when testing. Originally added to work around a
bug which left counts stranded indefinitely on a cpu going idle (an
inaccuracy magnified when small below-batch numbers represent "huge"
amounts of memory), but I believe that bug is now fixed: nonetheless,
this is still a useful knob.
Its schedule_on_each_cpu() is probably too expensive just to fold into
reading /proc/meminfo itself: give this mode 0600 to prevent abuse.
Allow a write or a read to do the same: nothing to read, but "grep -h
Shmem /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh /proc/meminfo" is convenient. Oh, and
since global_page_state() itself is careful to disguise any underflow as
0, hack in an "Invalid argument" and pr_warn() if a counter is negative
after the refresh - this helped to fix a misaccounting of
NR_ISOLATED_FILE in my migration code.
But on recent kernels, I find that NR_ALLOC_BATCH and NR_PAGES_SCANNED
often go negative some of the time. I have not yet worked out why, but
have no evidence that it's actually harmful. Punt for the moment by
just ignoring the anomaly on those.
