libnvdimm-for-4.2

The libnvdimm sub-system introduces, in addition to the libnvdimm-core,
4 drivers / enabling modules:

NFIT:
Instantiates an "nvdimm bus" with the core and registers memory devices
(NVDIMMs) enumerated by the ACPI 6.0 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware Interface
table).  After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers
"region" devices.  A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the
boundaries of persistent memory media.  A region may span multiple
NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller.  In
turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and
bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block device
(disk) interface to the memory.

PMEM:
Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of persistent
memory address ranges is re-worked to drive PMEM-namespaces emitted by
the libnvdimm-core.  In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the
ability to assert that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all
the way through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent
media.  See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem().

BLK:
This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through "Block
Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT.  The primary difference of this
driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent memory is
mapped into system address space at any given point in time.  Per-NVDIMM
windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access different
portions of the media.  BLK-mode, by definition, does not support DAX.

BTT:
This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that
converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector
update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss).  The
sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do not know
they have a atomic sector dependency.  At least today's disk's rarely
ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly gets a CRC error
on access.  NVDIMMs will always tear and always silently.  Until an
application is audited to be robust in the presence of sector-tearing
the usage of BTT is recommended.

pm+acpi-4.2-rc1

Power management and ACPI material for v4.2-rc1

 - ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150515 including basic
   support for ACPI 6 features: new ACPI tables introduced by
   ACPI 6 (STAO, XENV, WPBT, NFIT, IORT), changes related to the
   other tables (DTRM, FADT, LPIT, MADT), new predefined names
   (_BTH, _CR3, _DSD, _LPI, _MTL, _PRR, _RDI, _RST, _TFP, _TSN),
   fixes and cleanups (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng).

 - ACPI device power management core code update to follow ACPI 6
   which reflects the ACPI device power management implementation
   in Windows (Rafael J Wysocki).

 - Rework of the backlight interface selection logic to reduce the
   number of kernel command line options and improve the handling
   of DMI quirks that may be involved in that and to make the
   code generally more straightforward (Hans de Goede).

 - Fixes for the ACPI Embedded Controller (EC) driver related to
   the handling of EC transactions (Lv Zheng).

 - Fix for a regression related to the ACPI resources management
   and resulting from a recent change of ACPI initialization code
   ordering (Rafael J Wysocki).

 - Fix for a system initialization regression related to ACPI
   introduced during the 3.14 cycle and caused by running the
   code that switches the platform over to the ACPI mode too
   early in the initialization sequence (Rafael J Wysocki).

 - Support for the ACPI _CCA device configuration object related
   to DMA cache coherence (Suravee Suthikulpanit).

 - ACPI/APEI fixes and cleanups (Jiri Kosina, Borislav Petkov).

 - ACPI battery driver cleanups (Luis Henriques, Mathias Krause).

 - ACPI processor driver cleanups (Hanjun Guo).

 - Cleanups and documentation update related to the ACPI device
   properties interface based on _DSD (Rafael J Wysocki).

 - ACPI device power management fixes (Rafael J Wysocki).

 - Assorted cleanups related to ACPI (Dominik Brodowski. Fabian
   Frederick, Lorenzo Pieralisi, Mathias Krause, Rafael J Wysocki).

 - Fix for a long-standing issue causing General Protection Faults
   to be generated occasionally on return to user space after resume
   from ACPI-based suspend-to-RAM on 32-bit x86 (Ingo Molnar).

 - Fix to make the suspend core code return -EBUSY consistently in
   all cases when system suspend is aborted due to wakeup detection
   (Ruchi Kandoi).

 - Support for automated device wakeup IRQ handling allowing drivers
   to make their PM support more starightforward (Tony Lindgren).

 - New tracepoints for suspend-to-idle tracing and rework of the
   prepare/complete callbacks tracing in the PM core (Todd E Brandt,
   Rafael J Wysocki).

 - Wakeup sources framework enhancements (Jin Qian).

 - New macro for noirq system PM callbacks (Grygorii Strashko).

 - Assorted cleanups related to system suspend (Rafael J Wysocki).

 - cpuidle core cleanups to make the code more efficient (Rafael J
   Wysocki).

 - powernv/pseries cpuidle driver update (Shilpasri G Bhat).

 - cpufreq core fixes related to CPU online/offline that should
   reduce the overhead of these operations quite a bit, unless the
   CPU in question is physically going away (Viresh Kumar, Saravana
   Kannan).

 - Serialization of cpufreq governor callbacks to avoid race
   conditions in some cases (Viresh Kumar).

 - intel_pstate driver fixes and cleanups (Doug Smythies, Prarit
   Bhargava, Joe Konno).

 - cpufreq driver (arm_big_little, cpufreq-dt, qoriq) updates (Sudeep
   Holla, Felipe Balbi, Tang Yuantian).

   Points (Viresh Kumar).

   core (Rajendra Nayak, Geert Uytterhoeven).
