Checking command line filenames that are outside the git tree can emit a
noisy and confusing message.
Quiet that message by redirecting stderr.
Verify that the command was executed successfully.

If get_maintainer is not given any filename arguments on the command line,
the standard input is read for a patch.
But checking if a VCS has a file named &STDIN is not a good idea and fails.
Verify the nominal input file is not &STDIN before checking the VCS.

The gcc-plugins arguments should not be included when performing
cc-option tests.
Steps to reproduce:
1) make mrproper
2) make defconfig
3) enable GCC_PLUGINS, GCC_PLUGIN_CYC_COMPLEXITY
4) enable FUNCTION_TRACER (it will select other options as well)
5) make && make modules

For more targeted fuzzing, it's better to disable kernel-wide
instrumentation and instead enable it on a per-subsystem basis. This
follows the pattern of UBSAN and allows you to compile in the kcov
driver without instrumenting the whole kernel.
To instrument a part of the kernel, you can use either
# for a single file in the current directory
KCOV_INSTRUMENT_filename.o := y
or
# for all the files in the current directory (excluding subdirectories)
KCOV_INSTRUMENT := y
or
# (same as above)
ccflags-y += $(CFLAGS_KCOV)
or
# for all the files in the current directory (including subdirectories)
subdir-ccflags-y += $(CFLAGS_KCOV)

Signoff was not checked if the filename is '-', indicating reading the
patch from stdin. Commands such as the below would not warn about a
missing signoff, because the patch filename is '-'. This change allows
checkpatch to warn about a missing signoff, even if the input filename
is '-', but only if the patch has a commit message.
git show --pretty=email | scripts/checkpatch.pl -
A more common use of checkpatch with stdin is for piping git diff
through checkpatch. The diff output would not contain a commit message,
and therefore it would not contain a signoff line. For this common use
case, a warning should not be printed about the missing signoff. With
this change we will only warn about a missing signoff if the input
contains a commit message.
git diff | scripts/checkpatch.pl -
Before this patch, a workaround for the first command was to refer to
stdin by a name other than '-'. The workaround is not an elegant
solution, because elsewhere checkpatch uses the fact that filename
equals '-', such as in setting '$vname' to 'Your patch' for stdin. The
command below would report "/dev/stdin has style problems" instead of
"Your patch has style problems."
git show --pretty=email | scripts/checkpatch.pl /dev/stdin

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
- Replace pcommit with ADR / directed-flushing.
The pcommit instruction, which has not shipped on any product, is
deprecated. Instead, the requirement is that platforms implement
either ADR, or provide one or more flush addresses per nvdimm.
ADR (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) flushes data in posted write buffers
to the memory controller on a power-fail event.
Flush addresses are defined in ACPI 6.x as an NVDIMM Firmware
Interface Table (NFIT) sub-structure: "Flush Hint Address Structure".
A flush hint is an mmio address that when written and fenced assures
that all previous posted writes targeting a given dimm have been
flushed to media.
- On-demand ARS (address range scrub).
Linux uses the results of the ACPI ARS commands to track bad blocks
in pmem devices. When latent errors are detected we re-scrub the
media to refresh the bad block list, userspace can also request a
re-scrub at any time.
- Support for the Microsoft DSM (device specific method) command
format.
- Support for EDK2/OVMF virtual disk device memory ranges.
- Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem.

Several build configurations had already disabled this warning because
it generates a lot of false positives. But some had not, and it was
still enabled for "allmodconfig" builds, for example.
Looking at the warnings produced, every single one I looked at was a
false positive, and the warnings are frequent enough (and big enough)
that they can easily hide real problems that you don't notice in the
noise generated by -Wmaybe-uninitialized.
The warning is good in theory, but this is a classic case of a warning
that causes more problems than the warning can solve.
If gcc gets better at avoiding false positives, we may be able to
re-enable this warning. But as is, we're better off without it, and I
want to be able to see the *real* warnings.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"Again, the majority of changes go into the cpufreq subsystem, but
there are no big features this time. The cpufreq changes that stand
out somewhat are the governor interface rework and improvements
related to the handling of frequency tables. Apart from those, there
are fixes and new device/CPU IDs in drivers, cleanups and an
improvement of the new schedutil governor.
Next, there are some changes in the hibernation core, including a fix
for a nasty problem related to the MONITOR/MWAIT usage by CPU offline
during resume from hibernation, a few core improvements related to
memory management during resume, a couple of additional debug features
and cleanups.
Finally, we have some fixes and cleanups in the devfreq subsystem,
generic power domains framework improvements related to system
suspend/resume, support for some new chips in intel_idle and in the
power capping RAPL driver, a new version of the AnalyzeSuspend utility
and some assorted fixes and cleanups.
Specifics:
- Rework the cpufreq governor interface to make it more
straightforward and modify the conservative governor to avoid using
transition notifications (Rafael Wysocki).
- Rework the handling of frequency tables by the cpufreq core to make
it more efficient (Viresh Kumar).
- Modify the schedutil governor to reduce the number of wakeups it
causes to occur in cases when the CPU frequency doesn't need to be
changed (Steve Muckle, Viresh Kumar).
- Fix some minor issues and clean up code in the cpufreq core and
governors (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar).
- Add Intel Broxton support to the intel_pstate driver (Srinivas
Pandruvada).
- Fix problems related to the config TDP feature and to the validity
of the MSR_HWP_INTERRUPT register in intel_pstate (Jan Kiszka,
Srinivas Pandruvada).
- Make intel_pstate update the cpu_frequency tracepoint even if the
frequency doesn't change to avoid confusing powertop (Rafael
Wysocki).
- Clean up the usage of __init/__initdata in intel_pstate, mark some
of its internal variables as __read_mostly and drop an unused
structure element from it (Jisheng Zhang, Carsten Emde).
- Clean up the usage of some duplicate MSR symbols in intel_pstate
and turbostat (Srinivas Pandruvada).
- Update/fix the powernv, s3c24xx and mvebu cpufreq drivers (Akshay
Adiga, Viresh Kumar, Ben Dooks).
- Fix a regression (introduced during the 4.5 cycle) in the
pcc-cpufreq driver by reverting the problematic commit (Andreas
Herrmann).
- Add support for Intel Denverton to intel_idle, clean up Broxton
support in it and make it explicitly non-modular (Jacob Pan, Jan
Beulich, Paul Gortmaker).
- Add support for Denverton and Ivy Bridge server to the Intel RAPL
power capping driver and make it more careful about the handing of
MSRs that may not be present (Jacob Pan, Xiaolong Wang).
- Fix resume from hibernation on x86-64 by making the CPU offline
during resume avoid using MONITOR/MWAIT in the "play dead" loop
which may lead to an inadvertent "revival" of a "dead" CPU and a
page fault leading to a kernel crash from it (Rafael Wysocki).
- Make memory management during resume from hibernation more
straightforward (Rafael Wysocki).
- Add debug features that should help to detect problems related to
hibernation and resume from it (Rafael Wysocki, Chen Yu).
- Clean up hibernation core somewhat (Rafael Wysocki).
- Prevent KASAN from instrumenting the hibernation core which leads
to large numbers of false-positives from it (James Morse).
- Prevent PM (hibernate and suspend) notifiers from being called
during the cleanup phase if they have not been called during the
corresponding preparation phase which is possible if one of the
other notifiers returns an error at that time (Lianwei Wang).
- Improve suspend-related debug printout in the tasks freezer and
clean up suspend-related console handling (Roger Lu, Borislav
Petkov).
- Update the AnalyzeSuspend script in the kernel sources to version
4.2 (Todd Brandt).
- Modify the generic power domains framework to make it handle system
suspend/resume better (Ulf Hansson).
- Make the runtime PM framework avoid resuming devices synchronously
when user space changes the runtime PM settings for them and
improve its error reporting (Rafael Wysocki, Linus Walleij).
- Fix error paths in devfreq drivers (exynos, exynos-ppmu,
exynos-bus) and in the core, make some devfreq code explicitly
non-modular and change some of it into tristate (Bartlomiej
Zolnierkiewicz, Peter Chen, Paul Gortmaker).
- Add DT support to the generic PM clocks management code and make it
export some more symbols (Jon Hunter, Paul Gortmaker).
- Make the PCI PM core code slightly more robust against possible
driver errors (Andy Shevchenko).
- Make it possible to change DESTDIR and PREFIX in turbostat (Andy
Shevchenko)"

Builddep is not very explicit about file permissions. Actually the file
permissions in the package are largely influenced by the umask of the
user cloning the git and building the package. If that umask does not
set go+r the resulting linux-headers package will prevent non-root users
from building out-of-tree modules. And that is probably just one
unexpected effect.
Being a packaging/install tool builddep should make sure the file
permissions are set correctly and not just derived from a value that is
never checked.
This patch sets ugo read permissions for all packaged files and derives
the executable bit for directories and executables from the file-owner.

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"Some big changes this month, headlined by the addition of a new
formatted documentation mechanism based on the Sphinx system.
The objectives here are to make it easier to create better-integrated
(and more attractive) documents while (eventually) dumping our
one-of-a-kind, cobbled-together system for something that is widely
used and maintained by others. There's a fair amount of information
what's being done, why, and how to use it in:
https://lwn.net/Articles/692704/
https://lwn.net/Articles/692705/
Closer to home, Documentation/kernel-documentation.rst describes how
it works.
For now, the new system exists alongside the old one; you should soon
see the GPU documentation converted over in the DRM pull and some
significant media conversion work as well. Once all the docs have
been moved over and we're convinced that the rough edges (of which are
are a few) have been smoothed over, the DocBook-based stuff should go
away.
Primary credit is to Jani Nikula for doing the heavy lifting to make
this stuff actually work; there has also been notable effort from
Markus Heiser, Daniel Vetter, and Mauro Carvalho Chehab.
Expect a couple of conflicts on the new index.rst file over the course
of the merge window; they are trivially resolvable. That file may be
a bit of a conflict magnet in the short term, but I don't expect that
situation to last for any real length of time.
Beyond that, of course, we have the usual collection of tweaks,
updates, and typo fixes"

bin2c is used to create a valid C file out of a binary file where two
symbols will be globally defined: <name> and <name>_size. <name> is
passed as the first parameter of the host binary.
Building using goto-cc reported that the purgatory binary code (the only
current user of this utility) declares kexec_purgatory_size as 'size_t'
where bin2c generate <name>_size to be 'int' so in a 64-bit host where
sizeof(size_t) > sizeof(int) this type mismatch will always yield the
wrong value for big-endian architectures while for little-endian it will
be wrong if the object laid in memory directly after
kexec_purgatory_size contains non-zero value at the time of reading.
This commit changes <name>_size to be size_t instead.
Note:
Another way to fix the problem is to change the type of
kexec_purgatory_size to be 'int' as there's this check in code:
(kexec_purgatory_size <= 0)

Enable Coccinelle SmPL patches to require a specific version of
Coccinelle. In the event that the version does not match we just
inform the user, if the user asked to go through all SmPL patches
we just inform them of the need for a new version of coccinelle for
the SmPL patch and continue on with the rest.
This uses the simple kernel scripts/ld-version.sh to create a weight
on the version provided by spatch. The -dirty attribute is ignored if

Coccinelle has had parmap support since 1.0.2, this means
it supports --jobs, enabling built-in multithreaded functionality,
instead of needing one to script it out. Just look for --jobs
in the help output to determine if this is supported and use it
only if your number of processors detected is > 1.
If parmap is enabled also enable the load balancing to be dynamic, so
that if a thread finishes early we keep feeding it.
stderr is currently sent to /dev/null, addressing a way to capture
that will be addressed next.
If --jobs is not supported we fallback to the old mechanism.
We expect to deprecate the old mechanism as soon as we can get
confirmation all users are ready.
While at it propagate back into the shell script any coccinelle error
code. When used in serialized mode where all cocci files are run this
also stops processing if an error has occured. This lets us handle some
errors in coccinelle cocci files and if they bail out we should inspect
the errors. This will be more useful later to help annotate coccinelle
version dependency requirements. This will let you run only SmPL files
that your system supports.
Extend Documentation/coccinelle.txt as well.
As a small example, prior to this change, on an 8-core system:
Before:
$ export COCCI=scripts/coccinelle/free/kfree.cocci
$ time make coccicheck MODE=report
...
real 29m14.912s
user 103m1.796s
sys 0m4.464s
After:
real 16m22.435s
user 128m30.060s
sys 0m2.712s
v4:
o expand Documentation/coccinelle.txt to reflect parmap support info
o update commit log to reflect what we actually do now with stderr
o split out DEBUG_FILE use into another patch
o detect number of CPUs and if its 1 then skip parmap support,
note that if you still support parmap, but have 1 CPU you will
also go through the new branches, so the old complex multithreaded process
is skipped as well.
v3:
o move USE_JOBS to avoid being overriden
v2:
o redirect coccinelle stderr to /dev/null by default and
only if DEBUG_FILE is used do we pass it to a file
o fix typo of paramap/parmap

SPFLAGS is set early, it means that any heuristics done on
coccicheck cannot be overridden currently. Move SPFLAGS
after OPTIONS and set this at the end. This lets you override
any heuristics as coccinelle treats conflicts by only listening
to the last option that makes sense.
v3: this patch was added in the v3 series
v4: Update Documentation/coccinelle.txt explaining how
SPFLAGS works as well.
