      Pull m68knommu updates from Greg Ungerer:
 "This series is all about Nicolas flat format support for MMU systems.

  Traditional m68k no-MMU flat format binaries can now be run on m68k
  MMU enabled systems too.  The series includes some nice cleanups of
  the binfmt_flat code and converts it to using proper user space
  accessor functions.

  With all this in place you can boot and run a complete no-MMU flat
  format based user space on an MMU enabled system"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gerg/m68knommu:
  m68k: enable binfmt_flat on systems with an MMU

      Pull orangefs update from Martin Brandenburg:
 "Kernel side caching and executable bugfix

  This allows OrangeFS to utilize the dcache and adds an in kernel
  attribute cache.  We previously used the user side client for this
  purpose.

  We see a modest performance increase on small file operations.  For
  example, without the cache, compiling coreutils takes about 17
  minutes.  With the patch and a 50 millisecond timeout for
  dcache_timeout_msecs and getattr_timeout_msecs (the default),
  compiling coreutils takes about 6 minutes 20 seconds.  On the same
  hardware, compiling coreutils on an xfs filesystem takes 90 seconds.
  We see similar improvements with mdtest and a test involving writing,
  reading, and deleting a large number of small files.

  Interested parties can review more data at the following URL.

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1v4aUeppKexIbRMz_Yn9k4eaM3uy2KCaPoe_93YKWOtA/pubhtml

  The eventual goal of this is to allow getdents to turn into a
  readdirplus to the OrangeFS server.  The cache will be filled then,
  which should provide a performance benefit to the common case of
  readdir followed by getattr on each entry (i.e.  ls -l).

  This also fixes a bug.  When orangefs_inode_permission was added, it
  did not collect i_size from the OrangeFS server, since this presses an
  unnecessary load on the OrangeFS server.  However, it left a case
  where i_size is never initialized.  Then running an executable could
  fail.

  With this patch, size is always collected to be inserted into the
  cache.  Thus the bug disappears.  If this patch is not accepted during
  this merge window, we will send a one-line band-aid for this bug
  instead"

      Pull Ceph updates from Ilya Dryomov:
 "The highlights are:

   - RADOS namespace support in libceph and CephFS (Zheng Yan and
     myself).  The stopgaps added in 4.5 to deny access to inodes in
     namespaces are removed and CEPH_FEATURE_FS_FILE_LAYOUT_V2 feature
     bit is now fully supported

   - A large rework of the MDS cap flushing code (Zheng Yan)

   - Handle some of ->d_revalidate() in RCU mode (Jeff Layton).  We were
     overly pessimistic before, bailing at the first sight of LOOKUP_RCU

  On top of that we've got a few CephFS bug fixes, a couple of cleanups
  and Arnd's workaround for a weird genksyms issue"

      kcov: allow more fine-grained coverage instrumentation · a4691dea
      Vegard Nossum authored 
      For more targeted fuzzing, it's better to disable kernel-wide
instrumentation and instead enable it on a per-subsystem basis.  This
follows the pattern of UBSAN and allows you to compile in the kcov
driver without instrumenting the whole kernel.

To instrument a part of the kernel, you can use either

    # for a single file in the current directory
    KCOV_INSTRUMENT_filename.o := y

or

    # for all the files in the current directory (excluding subdirectories)
    KCOV_INSTRUMENT := y

or

    # (same as above)
    ccflags-y += $(CFLAGS_KCOV)

or

    # for all the files in the current directory (including subdirectories)
    subdir-ccflags-y += $(CFLAGS_KCOV)

      init/Kconfig: add clarification for out-of-tree modules · f1cb637e
      Valdis Kletnieks authored 
      It doesn't trim just symbols that are totally unused in-tree - it trims
the symbols unused by any in-tree modules actually built.  If you've
done a 'make localmodconfig' and only build a hundred or so modules,
it's pretty likely that your out-of-tree module will come up lacking
something...

Hopefully this will save the next guy from a Homer Simpson "D'oh!"
moment.
