Here is a number of printk() fixes, specifically a few reported by the
crazy blog program that ships in SUSE releases (that's "boot log" and
not "web log", it predates the general "blog" terminology by many
years), and the restoration of the continuation line functionality
reported by Stephen and others. Yes, the changes seem a bit big this
late in the cycle, but I've been beating on them for a while now, and
Stephen has even optimized it a bit, so all looks good to me.
The other change in here is a Documentation update for the stable kernel
rules describing how some distro patches should be backported, to
hopefully drive a bit more response from the distros to the stable
kernel releases.

Distribution kernel maintainers routinely backport fixes for users that
were deemed important but not "something critical" as defined by the
rules. To users of these kernels they are very serious and failing to fix
them reduces the value of -stable.
The problem is that the patches fixing these issues are often subtle and
prone to regressions in other ways and need greater care and attention.
To combat this, these "serious" backports should have a higher barrier
to entry.
This patch relaxes the rules to allow a distribution maintainer to merge
to -stable a backported patch or small series that fixes a "serious"
user-visible performance issue. They should include additional information on
the user-visible bug affected and a link to the bugzilla entry if available.
The same rules about the patch being already in mainline still apply.

Due to the lack of a generic clock API we'd had the 32kHz clock in the
regulator driver but this is definitely a Linux-specific thing and now
we have a clock API hopefully the code can be moved elsewhere. Try to
avoid getting DTs deployed relying on the 32kHz clock by removing it
from the bindings, grep seems to tell me it's not currently used anyway.

For some hardwares ramp_delay for BUCKs is a configurable parameter which can
be configured through DT or board file.This patch adds ramp_delay to regulator
constraints and allow user to configure it for regulators which supports this
feature, through DT or board file. It will provide two ways of setting the
ramp_delay for a regulator:
First, by setting it as constraints in board file(for configurable
regulators) and set_machine_constraints() will take care of setting it on
hardware by calling(the provided) .set_ramp_delay() operation(callback).
Second, by setting it as data in regulator_desc(as fixed/default
ramp_delay rate) for a regulator in driver.
regulator_set_voltage_time_sel() will give preference to
constraints->ramp_delay while reading ramp_delay rate for regulator. Similarly
users should also take care accordingly while refering ramp_delay rate(in case
of implementing their private .set_voltage_time_sel() callbacks for different
regulators).

Pull embedded i2c update from Wolfram Sang:
"This only contains one new driver which had multiple dependencies
(pinctrl, i2c-mux-rework, new devm_* functions), so I decided to wait
for rc1. Plus, it had to wait a little for the ack of a devicetree
maintainer since the bindings were not trivial enough for me to pass
through.
So, given that, I hope there is still something like the "new driver
rule", so we could have the driver in 3.5 and people can start using
it. That would make merging support for some boards easier for 3.6
since the dependency on this driver is gone then."

"Improve multipath's retrying mechanism in some defined circumstances

access thin provisioning metadata while the pool is in use."
* tag 'dm-3.5-changes-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/agk/linux-dm:
dm thin: provide userspace access to pool metadata
dm thin: use slab mempools
dm mpath: allow ioctls to trigger pg init
dm mpath: delay retry of bypassed pg
dm mpath: reduce size of struct multipath
This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin
pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_. This,
read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the
live target.
Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time. The pool's status
line will give the block location for the current msnap.
Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the
thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows:
thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev>
Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools
Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things
that have traditionally been kernel side tasks:
i) Incremental backups.
By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have
changed over time. Combined with data snapshots we can ensure
the data doesn't change while we back it up.
A short proof of concept script can be found here:
https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb
ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another.
iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin.
iv) Asyncronous replication.

Since we can't expect every user to read the EFI boot stub code it
seems prudent to have a couple of paragraphs explaining what it is and
how it works.
The "initrd=" option in particular is tricky because it only
understands absolute EFI-style paths (backslashes as directory
separators), and until now this hasn't been documented anywhere. This
has tripped up a couple of users.

Btrfs has to make sure we have space to allocate new blocks in order to modify
the inode, so updating time can fail. We've gotten around this by having our
own file_update_time but this is kind of a pain, and Christoph has indicated he
would like to make xfs do something different with atime updates. So introduce
->update_time, where we will deal with i_version an a/m/c time updates and
indicate which changes need to be made. The normal version just does what it
has always done, updates the time and marks the inode dirty, and then
filesystems can choose to do something different.
I've gone through all of the users of file_update_time and made them check for
errors with the exception of the fault code since it's complicated and I wasn't
quite sure what to do there, also Jan is going to be pushing the file time
updates into page_mkwrite for those who have it so that should satisfy btrfs and
make it not a big deal to check the file_update_time() return code in the
generic fault path. Thanks,

When we do checkpoint of a task we need to know the list of children the
task, has but there is no easy and fast way to generate reverse
parent->children chain from arbitrary <pid> (while a parent pid is
provided in "PPid" field of /proc/<pid>/status).
So instead of walking over all pids in the system (creating one big
process tree in memory, just to figure out which children a task has) --
we add explicit /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children entry, because the kernel
already has this kind of information but it is not yet exported.
This is a first level children, not the whole process tree.

Commit b231cca438 ("message queues: increase range limits") changed
mqueue default value when attr parameter is specified NULL from hard
coded value to fs.mqueue.{msg,msgsize}_max sysctl value.
This made large side effect. When user need to use two mqueue
applications 1) using !NULL attr parameter and it require big message
size and 2) using NULL attr parameter and only need small size message,
app (1) require to raise fs.mqueue.msgsize_max and app (2) consume large
memory size even though it doesn't need.
Doug Ledford propsed to switch back it to static hard coded value.
However it also has a compatibility problem. Some applications might
started depend on the default value is tunable.
The solution is to separate default value from maximum value.

This is an implementation of Andrew's proposal to extend the pagemap file
bits to report what is missing about tasks' working set.
The problem with the working set detection is multilateral. In the criu
(checkpoint/restore) project we dump the tasks' memory into image files
and to do it properly we need to detect which pages inside mappings are
really in use. The mincore syscall I though could help with this did not.
First, it doesn't report swapped pages, thus we cannot find out which
parts of anonymous mappings to dump. Next, it does report pages from page
cache as present even if they are not mapped, and it doesn't make that has
not been cow-ed.
Note, that issue with swap pages is critical -- we must dump swap pages to
image file. But the issues with file pages are optimization -- we can
take all file pages to image, this would be correct, but if we know that a
page is not mapped or not cow-ed, we can remove them from dump file. The
dump would still be self-consistent, though significantly smaller in size
(up to 10 times smaller on real apps).
Andrew noticed, that the proc pagemap file solved 2 of 3 above issues --
it reports whether a page is present or swapped and it doesn't report not
mapped page cache pages. But, it doesn't distinguish cow-ed file pages
from not cow-ed.
I would like to make the last unused bit in this file to report whether the
page mapped into respective pte is PageAnon or not.

Pull ceph updates from Sage Weil:
"There are some updates and cleanups to the CRUSH placement code, a bug
fix with incremental maps, several cleanups and fixes from Josh Durgin
in the RBD block device code, a series of cleanups and bug fixes from
Alex Elder in the messenger code, and some miscellaneous bounds
checking and gfp cleanups/fixes."
Fix up trivial conflicts in net/ceph/{messenger.c,osdmap.c} due to the
networking people preferring "unsigned int" over just "unsigned".

Pull second set of watchdog updates from Wim Van Sebroeck:
"This changeset contains following changes:
* Add support for multiple watchdog devices. We use dynamically
allocated device id's for this.
* Add locking into the generic watchdog infrastructure.
* Add support for dynamically allocated watchdog_device structs so
that we can deal with devices that get unbound.
* convert following drivers to the generic watchdog framework:
sch5627, sch5636 and sp805_wdt.
* Add DA9052/53 PMIC watchdog support
* Fix printk format warnings for iTCO_wdt.c"

Not much stuff this time. The only change to the IOMMU core code is the
addition of a handle to the fault handling code. A few updates to the
AMD IOMMU driver to work around new errata. The other patches are mostly
fixes and enhancements to the existing ARM IOMMU drivers and
documentation updates.
A new IOMMU driver for the Exynos platform was also underway but got
merged via the Samsung tree and is not part of this tree.
