__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations.

pte_alloc_one{_kernel} allocate PTE_ORDER which is 0.  This means that
this flag has never been actually useful here because it has always been
used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.

<title>asm-generic: Drop renameat syscall from default list</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b0da6d44157aa6e652de7634343708251ba64146</id>
<content type='text'>
The newer renameat2 syscall provides all the functionality provided by
the renameat syscall and adds flags, so future architectures won't need
to include renameat.

Therefore drop the renameat syscall from the generic syscall list unless
__ARCH_WANT_RENAMEAT is defined by the architecture's unistd.h prior to
including asm-generic/unistd.h, and adjust all architectures using the
generic syscall list to define it so that no in-tree architectures are
affected.

<title>ipv6: Pass proto to csum_ipv6_magic as __u8 instead of unsigned short</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch updates csum_ipv6_magic so that it correctly recognizes that
protocol is a unsigned 8 bit value.

This will allow us to better understand what limitations may or may not be
present in how we handle the data.  For example there are a number of
places that call htonl on the protocol value.  This is likely not necessary
and can be replaced with a multiplication by ntohl(1) which will be
converted to a shift by the compiler.

<title>ipv4: Update parameters for csum_tcpudp_magic to their original types</title>

<id>urn:sha1:01cfbad79a5e2b835abf6a8154a341d75a6fc8cd</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch updates all instances of csum_tcpudp_magic and
csum_tcpudp_nofold to reflect the types that are usually used as the source
inputs.  For example the protocol field is populated based on nexthdr which
is actually an unsigned 8 bit value.  The length is usually populated based
on skb-&gt;len which is an unsigned integer.

This addresses an issue in which the IPv6 function csum_ipv6_magic was
generating a checksum using the full 32b of skb-&gt;len while
csum_tcpudp_magic was only using the lower 16 bits.  As a result we could
run into issues when attempting to adjust the checksum as there was no
protocol agnostic way to update it.

With this change the value is still truncated as many architectures use
"(len + proto) &lt;&lt; 8", however this truncation only occurs for values
greater than 16776960 in length and as such is unlikely to occur as we stop
the inner headers at ~64K in size.

I did have to make a few minor changes in the arm, mn10300, nios2, and
score versions of the function in order to support these changes as they
were either using things such as an OR to combine the protocol and length,
or were using ntohs to convert the length which would have truncated the
value.

I also updated a few spots in terms of whitespace and type differences for
the addresses.  Most of this was just to make sure all of the definitions
were in sync going forward.

Pull strscpy string copy function implementation from Chris Metcalf.

Chris sent this during the merge window, but I waffled back and forth on
the pull request, which is why it's going in only now.

The new "strscpy()" function is definitely easier to use and more secure
than either strncpy() or strlcpy(), both of which are horrible nasty
interfaces that have serious and irredeemable problems.

strncpy() has a useless return value, and doesn't NUL-terminate an
overlong result.  To make matters worse, it pads a short result with
zeroes, which is a performance disaster if you have big buffers.

strlcpy(), by contrast, is a mis-designed "fix" for strlcpy(), lacking
the insane NUL padding, but having a differently broken return value
which returns the original length of the source string.  Which means
that it will read characters past the count from the source buffer, and
you have to trust the source to be properly terminated.  It also makes
error handling fragile, since the test for overflow is unnecessarily
subtle.

strscpy() avoids both these problems, guaranteeing the NUL termination
(but not excessive padding) if the destination size wasn't zero, and
making the overflow condition very obvious by returning -E2BIG.  It also
doesn't read past the size of the source, and can thus be used for
untrusted source data too.

So why did I waffle about this for so long?

Every time we introduce a new-and-improved interface, people start doing
these interminable series of trivial conversion patches.

And every time that happens, somebody does some silly mistake, and the
conversion patch to the improved interface actually makes things worse.
Because the patch is mindnumbing and trivial, nobody has the attention
span to look at it carefully, and it's usually done over large swatches
of source code which means that not every conversion gets tested.

So I'm pulling the strscpy() support because it *is* a better interface.
But I will refuse to pull mindless conversion patches.  Use this in
places where it makes sense, but don't do trivial patches to fix things
that aren't actually known to be broken.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest change in this cycle is the rewrite of the main SMP load
  balancing metric: the CPU load/utilization.  The main goal was to make
  the metric more precise and more representative - see the changelog of
  this commit for the gory details:

    9d89c257dfb9 ("sched/fair: Rewrite runnable load and utilization average tracking")

  It is done in a way that significantly reduces complexity of the code:

    5 files changed, 249 insertions(+), 494 deletions(-)

  and the performance testing results are encouraging.  Nevertheless we
  need to keep an eye on potential regressions, since this potentially
  affects every SMP workload in existence.

  This work comes from Yuyang Du.

  Other changes:

   - SCHED_DL updates.  (Andrea Parri)

   - Simplify architecture callbacks by removing finish_arch_switch().
     (Peter Zijlstra et al)

   - cputime accounting: guarantee stime + utime == rtime.  (Peter
     Zijlstra)

   - optimize idle CPU wakeups some more - inspired by Facebook server
     loads.  (Mike Galbraith)

   - stop_machine fixes and updates.  (Oleg Nesterov)

   - Introduce the 'trace_sched_waking' tracepoint.  (Peter Zijlstra)

   - sched/numa tweaks.  (Srikar Dronamraju)

   - misc fixes and small cleanups"
