Pull clock framework updates from Mike Turquette:
 "The clock framework changes for 3.16 are pretty typical: mostly clock
  driver additions and fixes.  There are additions to the clock core
  code for some of the basic types (e.g. the common divider type has
  some fixes and featured added to it).

  One minor annoyance is a last-minute dependency that wasn't handled
  quite right.  Commit ba0fae3b06a6 ("clk: berlin: add core clock driver
  for BG2/BG2CD") in this pull request depends on
  include/dt-bindings/clock/berlin2.h, which is already in your tree via
  the arm-soc pull request.  Building for the berlin platform will break
  when the clk tree is built on it's own, but merged into your master
  branch everything should be fine"

After all architectures were converted to the generic idle framework,
commit d190e8195b90 ("idle: Remove GENERIC_IDLE_LOOP config switch")
removed the last caller of cpu_idle().  The forward declarations in

The memory allocation stack trace is not always useful for debugging a

<title>ipc/shm.c: increase the defaults for SHMALL, SHMMAX</title>
<updated>2014-06-06T23:08:14+00:00</updated>

<id>060028bac94bf60a65415d1d55a359c3a17d5c31</id>
<content type='text'>
System V shared memory

a) can be abused to trigger out-of-memory conditions and the standard
   measures against out-of-memory do not work:

    - it is not possible to use setrlimit to limit the size of shm segments.

    - segments can exist without association with any processes, thus
      the oom-killer is unable to free that memory.

b) is typically used for shared information - today often multiple GB.
   (e.g. database shared buffers)

The current default is a maximum segment size of 32 MB and a maximum
total size of 8 GB.  This is often too much for a) and not enough for
b), which means that lots of users must change the defaults.

This patch increases the default limits (nearly) to the maximum, which
is perfect for case b).  The defaults are used after boot and as the
initial value for each new namespace.

Admins/distros that need a protection against a) should reduce the
limits and/or enable shm_rmid_forced.

Unix has historically required setting these limits for shared memory,
and Linux inherited such behavior.  The consequence of this is added
complexity for users and administrators.  One very common example are
Database setup/installation documents and scripts, where users must
manually calculate the values for these limits.  This also requires
(some) knowledge of how the underlying memory management works, thus
causing, in many occasions, the limits to just be flat out wrong.
Disabling these limits sooner could have saved companies a lot of time,
headaches and money for support.  But it's never too late, simplify
users life now.

Further notes:
- The patch only changes default, overrides behave as before:
        # sysctl kernel.shmall=33554432
  would recreate the previous limit for SHMMAX (for the current namespace).

- Disabling sysv shm allocation is possible with:
        # sysctl kernel.shmall=0
  (not a new feature, also per-namespace)

- The limits are intentionally set to a value slightly less than ULONG_MAX,
  to avoid triggering overflows in user space apps.

System V shared memory

a) can be abused to trigger out-of-memory conditions and the standard
   measures against out-of-memory do not work:

    - it is not possible to use setrlimit to limit the size of shm segments.

    - segments can exist without association with any processes, thus
      the oom-killer is unable to free that memory.

b) is typically used for shared information - today often multiple GB.
   (e.g. database shared buffers)

The current default is a maximum segment size of 32 MB and a maximum
total size of 8 GB.  This is often too much for a) and not enough for
b), which means that lots of users must change the defaults.

This patch increases the default limits (nearly) to the maximum, which
is perfect for case b).  The defaults are used after boot and as the
initial value for each new namespace.

Admins/distros that need a protection against a) should reduce the
limits and/or enable shm_rmid_forced.

Unix has historically required setting these limits for shared memory,
and Linux inherited such behavior.  The consequence of this is added
complexity for users and administrators.  One very common example are
Database setup/installation documents and scripts, where users must
manually calculate the values for these limits.  This also requires
(some) knowledge of how the underlying memory management works, thus
causing, in many occasions, the limits to just be flat out wrong.
Disabling these limits sooner could have saved companies a lot of time,
headaches and money for support.  But it's never too late, simplify
users life now.

- The patch only changes default, overrides behave as before:
        # sysctl kernel.shmall=33554432

<title>include/asm-generic/ioctl.h: fix _IOC_TYPECHECK sparse error</title>

When running sparse over drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c I get these
errors:

  drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c:2043:9: error: bad integer constant expression
  drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c:2044:9: error: bad integer constant expression
  drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c:2045:9: error: bad integer constant expression
  drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c:2046:9: error: bad integer constant expression

etc.

The root cause of that turns out to be in include/asm-generic/ioctl.h:

#include &lt;uapi/asm-generic/ioctl.h&gt;

/* provoke compile error for invalid uses of size argument */
extern unsigned int __invalid_size_argument_for_IOC;
#define _IOC_TYPECHECK(t) \
        ((sizeof(t) == sizeof(t[1]) &amp;&amp; \
          sizeof(t) &lt; (1 &lt;&lt; _IOC_SIZEBITS)) ? \
          sizeof(t) : __invalid_size_argument_for_IOC)

If it is defined as this (as is already done if __KERNEL__ is not defined):

  #define _IOC_TYPECHECK(t) (sizeof(t))

then all is well with the world.

This patch allows sparse to work correctly.
