Pull virtio updates from Rusty Russell:
 "OK, this has the big virtio 1.0 implementation, as specified by OASIS.

  On top of tht is the major rework of lguest, to use PCI and virtio
  1.0, to double-check the implementation.

  Then comes the inevitable fixes and cleanups from that work"

<title>kernel: add support for .init_array.* constructors</title>

KASan uses constructors for initializing redzones for global variables.
Globals instrumentation in GCC 4.9.2 produces constructors with priority
(.init_array.00099)

Currently kernel ignores such constructors.  Only constructors with
default priority supported (.init_array)

This patch adds support for constructors with priorities.  For kernel
image we put pointers to constructors between __ctors_start/__ctors_end
and do_ctors() will call them on start up.  For modules we merge
.init_array.* sections into resulting .init_array.  Module code properly
handles constructors in .init_array section.

<title>mm: remove remaining references to NUMA hinting bits and helpers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:21d9ee3eda7792c45880b2f11bff8e95c9a061fb</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch removes the NUMA PTE bits and associated helpers.  As a
side-effect it increases the maximum possible swap space on x86-64.

One potential source of problems is races between the marking of PTEs
PROT_NONE, NUMA hinting faults and migration.  It must be guaranteed that
a PTE being protected is not faulted in parallel, seen as a pte_none and
corrupting memory.  The base case is safe but transhuge has problems in
the past due to an different migration mechanism and a dependance on page
lock to serialise migrations and warrants a closer look.

task_work hinting update			parallel fault
------------------------			--------------
change_pmd_range
  change_huge_pmd
    __pmd_trans_huge_lock
      pmdp_get_and_clear
						__handle_mm_fault
						pmd_none
						  do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page
						  read? pmd_lock blocks until hinting complete, fail !pmd_none test
						  write? __do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page acquires pmd_lock, checks pmd_none
      pmd_modify
      set_pmd_at

task_work hinting update			parallel migration
------------------------			------------------
change_pmd_range
  change_huge_pmd
    __pmd_trans_huge_lock
      pmdp_get_and_clear
						__handle_mm_fault
						  do_huge_pmd_numa_page
						    migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page
						    pmd_lock waits for updates to complete, recheck pmd_same
      pmd_modify
      set_pmd_at

Both of those are safe and the case where a transhuge page is inserted
during a protection update is unchanged.  The case where two processes try
migrating at the same time is unchanged by this series so should still be
ok.  I could not find a case where we are accidentally depending on the
PTE not being cleared and flushed.  If one is missed, it'll manifest as
corruption problems that start triggering shortly after this series is
merged and only happen when NUMA balancing is enabled.

If an architecure uses &lt;asm-generic/4level-fixup.h&gt;, build fails if we

PGDIR_SHIFT.

<title>mm: mmu_gather: use tlb-&gt;end != 0 only for TLB invalidation</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=721c21c17ab958abf19a8fc611c3bd4743680e38'/>
<id>urn:sha1:721c21c17ab958abf19a8fc611c3bd4743680e38</id>
<content type='text'>
When batching up address ranges for TLB invalidation, we check tlb-&gt;end
!= 0 to indicate that some pages have actually been unmapped.

As of commit f045bbb9fa1b ("mmu_gather: fix over-eager
tlb_flush_mmu_free() calling"), we use the same check for freeing these
pages in order to avoid a performance regression where we call
free_pages_and_swap_cache even when no pages are actually queued up.

Unfortunately, the range could have been reset (tlb-&gt;end = 0) by
tlb_end_vma, which has been shown to cause memory leaks on arm64.
Furthermore, investigation into these leaks revealed that the fullmm
case on task exit no longer invalidates the TLB, by virtue of tlb-&gt;end
 == 0 (in 3.18, need_flush would have been set).

This patch resolves the problem by reverting commit f045bbb9fa1b, using
instead tlb-&gt;local.nr as the predicate for page freeing in
tlb_flush_mmu_free and ensuring that tlb-&gt;end is initialised to a
non-zero value in the fullmm case.

Pull ARM SoC/iommu configuration update from Arnd Bergmann:
 "The iomm-config branch contains work from Will Deacon, quoting his
  description:

    This series adds automatic IOMMU and DMA-mapping configuration for
    OF-based DMA masters described using the generic IOMMU devicetree
    bindings. Although there is plenty of future work around splitting up
    iommu_ops, adding default IOMMU domains and sorting out automatic IOMMU
    group creation for the platform_bus, this is already useful enough for
    people to port over their IOMMU drivers and start using the new probing
    infrastructure (indeed, Marek has patches queued for the Exynos IOMMU).

  The branch touches core ARM and IOMMU driver files, and the respective
  maintainers (Russell King and Joerg Roedel) agreed to have the
  contents merged through the arm-soc tree.

  The final version was ready just before the merge window, so we ended
  up delaying it a bit longer than the rest, but we don't expect to see
  regressions because this is just additional infrastructure that will
  get used in drivers starting in 3.20 but is unused so far"
