Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams: - Two fixes for compatibility with the ACPI 6.1 specification. Without these fixes multi-interface DIMMs will fail to be probed, and address range scrub commands to find memory errors will give results that the kernel will mis-interpret. For multi-interface DIMMs Linux will accept either the original 6.0 implementation or 6.1. For address range scrub we'll only support 6.1 since ACPI formalized this DSM differently than the original example [1] implemented in v4.2. The expectation is that production systems will only ever ship the ACPI 6.1 address range scrub command definition. - The wider async address range scrub work targeting 4.6 discovered that the original synchronous implementation in 4.5 is not sizing its return buffer correctly. - Arnd caught that my recent fix to the size of the pfn_t flags missed updating the flags variable used in the pmem driver. - Toshi found that we mishandle the memremap() return value in devm_memremap(). * 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: nvdimm: use 'u64' for pfn flags devm_memremap: Fix error value when memremap failed nfit: update address range scrub commands to the acpi 6.1 format libnvdimm, tools/testing/nvdimm: fix 'ars_status' output buffer sizing nfit: fix multi-interface dimm handling, acpi6.1 compatibility

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: "Two more small fixes. One is by Yang Shi who added a READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() to the scan of the stack made by the stack tracer. As the stack tracer scans the entire kernel stack, KASAN triggers seeing it as a "stack out of bounds" error. As the scan is looking at the contents of the stack from parent functions. The NOCHECK() tells KASAN that this is done on purpose, and is not some kind of stack overflow. The second fix is to the ftrace selftests, to retrieve the PID of executed commands from the shell with '$!' and not by parsing 'jobs'" * tag 'trace-fixes-v4.5-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing, kasan: Silence Kasan warning in check_stack of stack_tracer ftracetest: Fix instance test to use proper shell command for pids

libnvdimm, tools/testing/nvdimm: fix 'ars_status' output buffer sizing

2016-02-19T23:21:52Z

Use the output length specified in the command to size the receive buffer rather than the arbitrary 4K limit. This bug was hiding the fact that the ndctl implementation of ndctl_bus_cmd_new_ars_status() was not specifying an output buffer size. Cc: Cc: Vishal Verma Signed-off-by: Dan Williams

ftracetest: Fix instance test to use proper shell command for pids

2016-02-19T17:11:21Z

The ftracetest instance test used parsing of the "jobs" output to find the pid of the subshell that is executed previously. But this is not portable to all major shells that may run these tests. The proper way to get the pid of the subshell is the shell command "$!". This will return the pid of the previously executed command. Use that instead, otherwise the test does not work in all environments.

efi: Make efivarfs entries immutable by default

2016-02-10T16:25:52Z

"rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required to POST the hardware. These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines. We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.
