Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big set of new char/misc driver drivers and features for 4.12-rc1. There's lots of new drivers added this time around, new firmware drivers from Google, more auxdisplay drivers, extcon drivers, fpga drivers, and a bunch of other driver updates. Nothing major, except if you happen to have the hardware for these drivers, and then you will be happy :) All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues" * tag 'char-misc-4.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc: (136 commits) firmware: google memconsole: Fix return value check in platform_memconsole_init() firmware: Google VPD: Fix return value check in vpd_platform_init() goldfish_pipe: fix build warning about using too much stack. goldfish_pipe: An implementation of more parallel pipe fpga fr br: update supported version numbers fpga: region: release FPGA region reference in error path fpga altera-hps2fpga: disable/unprepare clock on error in alt_fpga_bridge_probe() mei: drop the TODO from samples firmware: Google VPD sysfs driver firmware: Google VPD: import lib_vpd source files misc: lkdtm: Add volatile to intentional NULL pointer reference eeprom: idt_89hpesx: Add OF device ID table misc: ds1682: Add OF device ID table misc: tsl2550: Add OF device ID table w1: Remove unneeded use of assert() and remove w1_log.h w1: Use kernel common min() implementation uio_mf624: Align memory regions to page size and set correct offsets uio_mf624: Refactor memory info initialization uio: Allow handling of non page-aligned memory regions hangcheck-timer: Fix typo in comment ...

Pull networking updates from David Millar: "Here are some highlights from the 2065 networking commits that happened this development cycle: 1) XDP support for IXGBE (John Fastabend) and thunderx (Sunil Kowuri) 2) Add a generic XDP driver, so that anyone can test XDP even if they lack a networking device whose driver has explicit XDP support (me). 3) Sparc64 now has an eBPF JIT too (me) 4) Add a BPF program testing framework via BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN (Alexei Starovoitov) 5) Make netfitler network namespace teardown less expensive (Florian Westphal) 6) Add symmetric hashing support to nft_hash (Laura Garcia Liebana) 7) Implement NAPI and GRO in netvsc driver (Stephen Hemminger) 8) Support TC flower offload statistics in mlxsw (Arkadi Sharshevsky) 9) Multiqueue support in stmmac driver (Joao Pinto) 10) Remove TCP timewait recycling, it never really could possibly work well in the real world and timestamp randomization really zaps any hint of usability this feature had (Soheil Hassas Yeganeh) 11) Support level3 vs level4 ECMP route hashing in ipv4 (Nikolay Aleksandrov) 12) Add socket busy poll support to epoll (Sridhar Samudrala) 13) Netlink extended ACK support (Johannes Berg, Pablo Neira Ayuso, and several others) 14) IPSEC hw offload infrastructure (Steffen Klassert)" * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (2065 commits) tipc: refactor function tipc_sk_recv_stream() tipc: refactor function tipc_sk_recvmsg() net: thunderx: Optimize page recycling for XDP net: thunderx: Support for XDP header adjustment net: thunderx: Add support for XDP_TX net: thunderx: Add support for XDP_DROP net: thunderx: Add basic XDP support net: thunderx: Cleanup receive buffer allocation net: thunderx: Optimize CQE_TX handling net: thunderx: Optimize RBDR descriptor handling net: thunderx: Support for page recycling ipx: call ipxitf_put() in ioctl error path net: sched: add helpers to handle extended actions qed*: Fix issues in the ptp filter config implementation. qede: Fix concurrency issue in PTP Tx path processing. stmmac: Add support for SIMATIC IOT2000 platform net: hns: fix ethtool_get_strings overflow in hns driver tcp: fix wraparound issue in tcp_lp bpf, arm64: fix jit branch offset related to ldimm64 bpf, arm64: implement jiting of BPF_XADD ...

usb.rst: move documentation from proc_usb_info.txt to USB ReST book

2017-04-20T21:31:26Z

The contents of proc_usb_info.txt complements what's there at driver-api usb book. Yet, it is outdated, as it still refers to the USB character devices as usbfs. So, move the contents to usb.rst, adjusting it to point to the right places. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

docs-rst: usb: update old usbfs-related documentation

2017-04-20T21:30:33Z

There's no usbfs anymore. The old features are now either exported to /dev/bus/usb or via debugfs. Update documentation accordingly, pointing to the new places where the character devices and usb/devices are now placed. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

docs-rst: fix usb cross-references

2017-04-11T20:41:29Z

As some USB documentation files got moved, adjust their cross-references to their new place. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

usb/URB.txt: convert to ReST and update it

2017-04-11T20:40:25Z

The URB doc describes the Kernel mechanism that do USB transfers. While the functions are already described at urb.h, there are a number of concepts and theory that are important for USB driver developers. Convert it to ReST and use C ref links to point to the places at usb.h where each function and struct is located. A few of those descriptions were incomplete. While here, update to reflect the current API status. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet
