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:

Today there are platforms with many CPUs (up to 4K). Trying to boot only
part of the CPUs may result in too long string.
For example lets take NPS platform that is part of arch/arc. This
platform have SMP system with 256 cores each with 16 HW threads (SMT
machine) where HW thread appears as CPU to the kernel. In this example
there is total of 4K CPUs. When one tries to boot only part of the HW
threads from each core the string representing the map may be long... For
example if for sake of performance we decided to boot only first half of
HW threads of each core the map will look like:
0-7,16-23,32-39,...,4080-4087
This patch introduce new syntax to accommodate with such use case. I
added an optional postfix to a range of CPUs which will choose according
to given modulo the desired range of reminders i.e.:
<cpus range>:sed_size/group_size
For example, above map can be described in new syntax like this:
0-4095:8/16
Note that this patch is backward compatible with current syntax.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio
Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
"This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.9 series:
Subsystem improvements:
- do away with the last users of the obsolete Kconfig options
ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB and ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB (the latter
always sounded like an item on a wishlist to Santa Claus to me). We
can now select GPIOLIB and be done with it, for all archs. After
some struggle it even work on UM. Not that it has GPIO, but if it
wants to, it can select the library.
- continued efforts to make drivers properly either tristate or bool.
- introduce a warning for drivers assigning default triggers to their
irqchip lines when probed from device tree, so we find and fix
these ambigous drivers. It is agreed that in the OF config path,
the device tree defines trigger characteristics.
- the same warning, mutatis mutandis, for ACPI-probed GPIO irqchips.
- we introduce the ability to mark certain IRQ lines as "unusable" as
they can be taken by BIOS/firmware, unrouted in silicon and
generally nasty if you use them, and such things. This is put to
good use in the STMPE driver and also in the Cherryview pin control
driver.
- a new "mockup" virtual GPIO device that can be used for testing.
The plan is to add unit tests under tools/* for exercising this
device and verify that the kernel code paths are working as they
should.
- make memory-mapped I/O-drivers depend on HAS_IOMEM. This was
implicit all the time, but when people started building UM with
allyesconfig or allmodconfig it exploded in their face.
- move some stray bits of device tree and ACPI HW description
callbacks down into their respective implementation silo. These
were causing issues when compiling on !HAS_IOMEM as well, so now
eventually UM compiles the GPIOLIB library if it wants to.
New drivers:
- new driver for the Aspeed GPIO front-end companion to the pin
controller merged through the pin control tree.
- new driver for the LP873x PMIC GPIO portions.
- new driver for Technologic Systems' I2C FPGA GPIO such as TS4900,
TS-7970, TS-7990 and TS-4100.
- new driver for the Broadcom BCM63xx series including BCM6338 and
BCM6345.
- new driver for the Intel WhiskeyCove PMIC GPIO.
- new driver for the Allwinner AXP209 PMIC GPIO portions.
- new driver for Diamond Systems 48 line GPIO-MM, another of these
port-mapped I/O expansion cards.
- support the STMicroelectronics STMPE1600 variant in the STMPE
driver.
Driver improvements:
- the STMPE driver now supports rising/falling edge detection
properly for IRQs.
- the PCA954x will now fetch and enable its VCC regulator properly.
- major rework of the PCA953x driver with the goal of eventually
switching it over to use regmap and thus modernize it even more.
- switch the IOP driver to use the generic MMIO GPIO library.
- move the ages old HTC EGPIO (extended GPIO) GPIO expander driver
over to this subsystem from MFD, achieveing some separation of
concerns"

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"This is the documentation update pull for the 4.9 merge window.
The Sphinx transition is still creating a fair amount of work. Here we
have a number of fixes and, importantly, a proper PDF output solution,
thanks to Jani Nikula, Mauro Carvalho Chehab and Markus Heiser.
I've started a couple of new books: a driver API book (based on the
old device-drivers.tmpl) and a development tools book. Both are meant
to show how we can integrate together our existing documentation into
a more coherent and accessible whole. It involves moving some stuff
around and formatting changes, but, I think, the results are worth it.
The good news is that most of our existing Documentation/*.txt files
are *almost* in RST format already; the amount of messing around
required is minimal.
And, of course, there's the usual set of updates, typo fixes, and
more"

This patch add basic structure of a virtual gpio device(gpio-mockup)
for testing gpio subsystem. The tester could manipulate such device
through userspace(sysfs or char device) and check the result from
debugfs.
Currently, it support one or more gpiochip(determined by module
parameters with base,ngpio pair). One could test the overlap of
different gpiochip and test the direction and/or output values of
these chips.

Erratum A-008585 says that the ARM generic timer counter "has the
potential to contain an erroneous value for a small number of core
clock cycles every time the timer value changes". Accesses to TVAL
(both read and write) are also affected due to the implicit counter
read. Accesses to CVAL are not affected.
The workaround is to reread TVAL and count registers until successive
reads return the same value. Writes to TVAL are replaced with an
equivalent write to CVAL.
The workaround is to reread TVAL and count registers until successive reads
return the same value, and when writing TVAL to retry until counter
reads before and after the write return the same value.
The workaround is enabled if the fsl,erratum-a008585 property is found in
the timer node in the device tree. This can be overridden with the
clocksource.arm_arch_timer.fsl-a008585 boot parameter, which allows KVM
users to enable the workaround until a mechanism is implemented to
automatically communicate this information.
This erratum can be found on LS1043A and LS2080A.

PKRU is the register that lets you disallow writes or all access to a given
protection key.
The XSAVE hardware defines an "init state" of 0 for PKRU: its most
permissive state, allowing access/writes to everything. Since we start off
all new processes with the init state, we start all processes off with the
most permissive possible PKRU.
This is unfortunate. If a thread is clone()'d [1] before a program has
time to set PKRU to a restrictive value, that thread will be able to write
to all data, no matter what pkey is set on it. This weakens any integrity
guarantees that we want pkeys to provide.
To fix this, we define a very restrictive PKRU to override the
XSAVE-provided value when we create a new FPU context. We choose a value
that only allows access to pkey 0, which is as restrictive as we can
practically make it.
This does not cause any practical problems with applications using
protection keys because we require them to specify initial permissions for
each key when it is allocated, which override the restrictive default.
In the end, this ensures that threads which do not know how to manage their
own pkey rights can not do damage to data which is pkey-protected.
I would have thought this was a pretty contrived scenario, except that I
heard a bug report from an MPX user who was creating threads in some very

The driver that used the 'nodisconnect' parameter was removed in
commit 565bae6a4a8f ("[SCSI] 53c7xx: kill driver"). Related documentation
was cleaned up in commit f37a7238d379 ("[SCSI] 53c7xx: fix removal
fallout"), except for the remaining two mentions that are removed here.

This patch introduces a new IOMMU driver parameter, amd_iommu_guest_ir,
which can be used to specify different interrupt remapping mode for
passthrough devices to VM guest:
* legacy: Legacy interrupt remapping (w/ 32-bit IRTE)
* vapic : Guest vAPIC interrupt remapping (w/ GA mode 128-bit IRTE)
Note that in vapic mode, it can also supports legacy interrupt remapping
for non-passthrough devices with the 128-bit IRTE.

From the old description people still can't get what's the exact
difference between nr_cpus and maxcpus. Especially in kdump kernel
nr_cpus is always suggested if it's implemented in the ARCH. The
reason is nr_cpus is used to limit the max number of possible cpu
in system, the sum of already plugged cpus and hot plug cpus can't
exceed its value. However maxcpus is used to limit how many cpus
are allowed to be brought up during bootup.

Currently, CPUIDLE_STATE_MAX has been defined as 10 in the cpuidle head file,
and max_cstate = CPUIDLE_STATE_MAX – 1, so 9 is the right maximum depth of C-state.

Some uio based PCI drivers, e.g., uio_cif, do not work if the assigned PCI
memory resources are not page aligned. By using the kernel option
"pci=resource_alignment=<align>@<bus>:<slot>.<func>" it is possible to
request page alignment for memory resources of devices.
However, this is cumbersome when using several devices, and the
bus/slot/func addresses may change if devices are added to or removed from
the system.
Extend the "pci=resource_alignment" option so we can specify the relevant
devices via PCI vendor, device, subvendor, and subdevice IDs. The
specification of the devices via IDs is indicated by a leading string
"pci:" as argument to "pci=resource_alignment".
The format of the specification is
pci:<vendor>:<device>[:<subvendor>:<subdevice>]
Examples:
pci=resource_alignment=4096@pci:8086:9c22:103c:198f
pci=resource_alignment=pci:8086:9c22 # defaults to PAGE_SIZE align

mitigate this in the (hopefully unlikely) event this becomes a

Blacklisting a module in linux has long been a problem. The current
procedure is to use rd.blacklist=module_name, however, that doesn't
cover the case after the initramfs and before a boot prompt (where one
is supposed to use /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf to blacklist
runtime loading). Using rd.shell to get an early prompt is hit-or-miss,
and doesn't cover all situations AFAICT.
This patch adds this functionality of permanently blacklisting a module
by its name via the kernel parameter module_blacklist=module_name.
[v2]: Rusty, use core_param() instead of __setup() which simplifies
things.
[v3]: Rusty, undo wreckage from strsep()
[v4]: Rusty, simpler version of blacklisted()

Add a "printk.devkmsg" kernel command line parameter which controls how
userspace writes into /dev/kmsg. It has three options:
* ratelimit - ratelimit logging from userspace.
* on - unlimited logging from userspace
* off - logging from userspace gets ignored
The default setting is to ratelimit the messages written to it.
This changes the kernel default setting of "on" to "ratelimit" and we do
that because we want to keep userspace spamming /dev/kmsg to sane
levels. This is especially moot when a small kernel log buffer wraps
around and messages get lost. So the ratelimiting setting should be a
sane setting where kernel messages should have a bit higher chance of
survival from all the spamming.
It additionally does not limit logging to /dev/kmsg while the system is
booting if we haven't disabled it on the command line.
Furthermore, we can control the logging from a lower priority sysctl
interface - kernel.printk_devkmsg.
That interface will succeed only if printk.devkmsg *hasn't* been
supplied on the command line. If it has, then printk.devkmsg is a
one-time setting which remains for the duration of the system lifetime.
This "locking" of the setting is to prevent userspace from changing the
logging on us through sysctl(2).
This patch is based on previous patches from Linus and Steven.
