       "This udpate delivers:
      
         - A fix for dynamic interrupt allocation on x86 which is required to
           exclude the GSI interrupts from the dynamic allocatable range.
      
           This was detected with the newfangled tablet SoCs which have GPIOs
           and therefor allocate a range of interrupts.  The MSI allocations
           already excluded the GSI range, so we never noticed before.
      
         - The last missing set_irq_affinity() repair, which was delayed due
           to testing issues

      Dave Young authored
      
      
      earlyprintk=efi,keep will cause kernel hangs while freeing initmem like
      below:
      
        VFS: Mounted root (ext4 filesystem) readonly on device 254:2.
        devtmpfs: mounted
        Freeing unused kernel memory: 880K (ffffffff817d4000 - ffffffff818b0000)
      
      It is caused by efi earlyprintk use __init function which will be freed
      later.  Such as early_efi_write is marked as __init, also it will use
      early_ioremap which is init function as well.
      
      To fix this issue, I added early initcall early_efi_map_fb which maps
      the whole efi fb for later use. OTOH, adding a wrapper function
      early_efi_map which calls early_ioremap before ioremap is available.
      
      With this patch applied efi boot ok with earlyprintk=efi,keep console=efi

      tracing: Use rcu_dereference_sched() for trace event triggers · 561a4fe8
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored
      
      
      As trace event triggers are now part of the mainline kernel, I added
      my trace event trigger tests to my test suite I run on all my kernels.
      Now these tests get run under different config options, and one of
      those options is CONFIG_PROVE_RCU, which checks under lockdep that
      the rcu locking primitives are being used correctly. This triggered
      the following splat:

      rcu_dereference_sched().

      Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
       "A bunch of regression fixes this time.  They fix two regressions in
        the PNP subsystem, one in the ACPI processor driver and one in the
        ACPI EC driver, four cpufreq driver regressions and an unrelated bug
        in one of the drivers.  The regressions are recent or introduced in
        3.14.
      
        Specifics:
      
         - There are two bugs in the ACPI PNP core that cause errors to be
           returned if optional ACPI methods are not present.  After an ACPI
           core change made in 3.14 one of those errors leads to serial port
           suspend failures on some systems.  Fix from Rafael J Wysocki.
      
         - A recently added PNP quirk related to Intel chipsets intorduced a
           build error in unusual configurations (PNP without PCI).  Fix from
           Bjorn Helgaas.
      
         - An ACPI EC workaround related to system suspend on Samsung machines
           added in 3.14 introduced a race causing some valid EC events to be
           discarded.  Fix from Kieran Clancy.
      
         - The acpi-cpufreq driver fails to load on some systems after a 3.14
           commit related to APIC ID parsing that overlooked one corner case.
           Fix from Lan Tianyu.
      
         - Fix for a recently introduced build problem in the ppc-corenet
           cpufreq driver from Tim Gardner.
      
         - A recent cpufreq core change to ensure serialization of frequency
           transitions for drivers with a ->target_index() callback overlooked
           the fact that some of those drivers had been doing operations
           introduced by it into the core already by themselves.  That
           resulted in a mess in which the core and the drivers try to do the
           same thing and block each other which leads to deadlocks.  Fixes
           for the powernow-k7, powernow-k6, and longhaul cpufreq drivers from
           Srivatsa S Bhat.

      ARC: !PREEMPT: Ensure Return to kernel mode is IRQ safe · 8aa9e85a

      There was a very small race window where resume to kernel mode from a
      Exception Path (or pure kernel mode which is true for most of ARC
      exceptions anyways), was not disabling interrupts in restore_regs,
      clobbering the exception regs
      
      Anton found the culprit call flow (after many sleepless nights)
      
      | 1. we got a Trap from user land
      | 2. started to service it.
      | 3. While doing some stuff on user-land memory (I think it is padzero()),
      |     we got a DataTlbMiss
      | 4. On return from it we are taking "resume_kernel_mode" path
      | 5. NEED_RESHED is not set, so we go to "return from exception" path in
      |     restore regs.
      | 6. there seems to be IRQ happening
