Pull power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
"These fix several issues in the intel_pstate driver and one issue in
the schedutil cpufreq governor, clean up that governor a bit and hook
up existing code for disabling cpufreq to a new kernel command line
option.
Specifics:
- Three fixes for intel_pstate problems related to the passive mode
(in which it acts as a regular cpufreq scaling driver), two for the
handling of global P-state limits and one for the handling of the
cpu_frequency tracepoint in that mode (Rafael Wysocki).
- Three fixes for the handling of P-state limits in intel_pstate in
the active mode (Rafael Wysocki).
- Introduction of a new cpufreq.off=1 kernel command line argument
that will disable cpufreq entirely if passed to the kernel and is
simply hooked up to the existing code used by Xen (Len Brown).
- Fix for the schedutil cpufreq governor to prevent it from using
stale raw frequency values in configurations with mutiple CPUs
sharing one policy object and a cleanup for it reducing its
overhead slightly (Viresh Kumar)"

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"There was some breakage with the changes for jump labels in the 4.11
merge window:
- powerpc broke as jump labels uses the two LSB bits as flags in
initialization.
A check was added to make sure that all jump label entries were 4
bytes aligned, but powerpc didn't work that way for modules. Adding
an alignment in the module linker script appeared to be the best
solution.
- Jump labels also added an anonymous union to access those LSB bits
as a normal long. But because this structure had static
initialization, it broke older compilers that could not statically
initialize anonymous unions without brackets.
- The command line parameter for setting function graph filter broke
the "EMPTY_HASH" descriptor by modifying it instead of creating a
new hash to hold the entries.
- The command line parameter ftrace_graph_max_depth was added to
allow its setting at boot time. It uses existing code and only the
command line hook was added.
This is not really a fix, but as it uses existing code without
affecting anything else, I added it to this release. It was ready
before the merge window closed, but I wanted to let it sit in
linux-next for a couple of days first"

which we don't normally do. This updates the documentation to mention
this and adds some more details about coordination and patch handling
that come up regularly. Based on an earlier draft by Willy Tarreau.

For mouse devices we can currently change the polling interval
via usbhid.mousepoll. Implement the same thing for joysticks, so
users can reduce input latency this way.
This has been tested with a Logitech RumblePad 2 with jspoll=2,
resulting in a polling rate of 500Hz (verified with evhz).

Add the "cpufreq.off=1" cmdline option.
At boot-time, this allows a user to request CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=n
behavior from a kernel built with CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y.
This is analogous to the existing "cpuidle.off=1" option
and CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=y
This capability is valuable when we need to debug end-user
issues in the BIOS or in Linux. It is also convenient
for enabling comparisons, which may otherwise require a new kernel,
or help from BIOS SETUP, which may be buggy or unavailable.

Early trace callgraphs can be extremely large on systems with
several seconds of boot time. The max_depth parameter limits how
deep the graph trace goes and reduces the output size. This
parameter is the same as the max_graph_depth file in tracefs.

Fix typos and add the following to the scripts/spelling.txt:
an user||a user
an userspace||a userspace
I also added "userspace" to the list since it is a common word in Linux.
I found some instances for "an userfaultfd", but I did not add it to the
list. I felt it is endless to find words that start with "user" such as
"userland" etc., so must draw a line somewhere.

SLUB creates a per-cache directory under /sys/kernel/slab which hosts a
bunch of debug files. Usually, there aren't that many caches on a
system and this doesn't really matter; however, if memcg is in use, each
cache can have per-cgroup sub-caches. SLUB creates the same directories
for these sub-caches under /sys/kernel/slab/$CACHE/cgroup.
Unfortunately, because there can be a lot of cgroups, active or
draining, the product of the numbers of caches, cgroups and files in
each directory can reach a very high number - hundreds of thousands is
commonplace. Millions and beyond aren't difficult to reach either.
What's under /sys/kernel/slab is primarily for debugging and the
information and control on the a root cache already cover its
sub-caches. While having a separate directory for each sub-cache can be
helpful for development, it doesn't make much sense to pay this amount
of overhead by default.
This patch introduces a boot parameter slub_memcg_sysfs which determines
whether to create sysfs directories for per-memcg sub-caches. It also
adds CONFIG_SLUB_MEMCG_SYSFS_ON which determines the boot parameter's
default value and defaults to 0.

The goldfish platform code registers the platform device unconditionally
which causes havoc in several ways if the goldfish_pdev_bus driver is
enabled:
- Access to the hardcoded physical memory region, which is either not
available or contains stuff which is completely unrelated.
- Prevents that the interrupt of the serial port can be requested
- In case of a spurious interrupt it goes into a infinite loop in the
interrupt handler of the pdev_bus driver (which needs to be fixed
seperately).
Add a 'goldfish' command line option to make the registration opt-in when
the platform is compiled in.
I'm seriously grumpy about this engineering trainwreck, which has seven
SOBs from Intel developers for 50 lines of code. And none of them figured
out that this is broken. Impressive fail!

Having a command line option to flip the errata handling for a

Use the early sclp code to provide a boot console. This boot console
is available if the kernel parameter "earlyprintk" has been specified,
just like it works for other architectures that also provide an early
boot console.
This makes debugging of early problems much easier, since now we
finally have working console output even before memory detection is
running.
The boot console will be automatically disabled as soon as another
console will be registered.

This allows enabling earlycon for devices with a Lantiq serial console
by splitting lqasc_serial_port_write() from lqasc_console_write() and
re-using the new function for earlycon's write callback.
The kernel-parameter name matches the driver name ("lantiq"), similar
to how other drivers implement this.

Pull swiotlb fixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"This has one fix to make i915 work when using Xen SWIOTLB, and a
feature from Geert to aid in debugging of devices that can't do DMA
outside the 32-bit address space.
The feature from Geert is on top of v4.10 merge window commit
(specifically you pulling my previous branch), as his changes were
dependent on the Documentation/ movement patches.
I figured it would just easier than me trying than to cherry-pick the
Documentation patches to satisfy git.
The patches have been soaking since 12/20, albeit I updated the last
patch due to linux-next catching an compiler error and adding an
Tested-and-Reported-by tag"

Sometimes, the users may require a quirk to be provided from ACPI subsystem
core to prevent a GPE from flooding.
Normally, if a GPE cannot be dispatched, ACPICA core automatically prevents
the GPE from firing. But there are cases the GPE is dispatched by _Lxx/_Exx
provided via AML table, and OSPM is lacking of the knowledge to get
_Lxx/_Exx correctly executed to handle the GPE, thus the GPE flooding may
still occur.
The existing quirk mechanism can be enabled/disabled using the following
commands to prevent such kind of GPE flooding during runtime:
# echo mask > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe00
# echo unmask > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe00
To avoid GPE flooding during boot, we need a boot stage mechanism.
This patch provides such a boot stage quirk mechanism to stop this kind of
GPE flooding. This patch doesn't fix any feature gap but since the new
feature gaps could be found in the future endlessly, and can disappear if
the feature gaps are filled, providing a boot parameter rather than a DMI
table should suffice.

The IMA binary_runtime_measurements list is currently in platform native
format.
To allow restoring a measurement list carried across kexec with a
different endianness than the targeted kernel, this patch defines
little-endian as the canonical format. For big endian systems wanting
to save/restore the measurement list from a system with a different
endianness, a new boot command line parameter named "ima_canonical_fmt"
is defined.
Considerations: use of the "ima_canonical_fmt" boot command line option
will break existing userspace applications on big endian systems
expecting the binary_runtime_measurements list to be in platform native
format.

On architectures like arm64, swiotlb is tied intimately to the core
architecture DMA support. In addition, ZONE_DMA cannot be disabled.
To aid debugging and catch devices not supporting DMA to memory outside
the 32-bit address space, add a kernel command line option
"swiotlb=noforce", which disables the use of bounce buffers.
If specified, trying to map memory that cannot be used with DMA will
fail, and a rate-limited warning will be printed.
Note that io_tlb_nslabs is set to 1, which is the minimal supported
value.
