The previous patches added arch support matrices for more than 40 generic kernel features
that need per architecture support.
The structure of the feature descriptions is the following:
Each feature has its own directory under Documentation/features/subsystem_name/feature_name/,
and the arch-support.txt file shows its current arch porting status.
For example, lockdep support is shown the following way:
triton:~/tip> cat Documentation/features/locking/lockdep/arch-support.txt
#
# Feature name: lockdep
# Kconfig: LOCKDEP_SUPPORT
# description: arch supports the runtime locking correctness debug facility
#

| sh: | ok |
| sparc: | ok |
| tile: | ok |
| um: | ok |
| unicore32: | ok |
| x86: | ok |
| xtensa: | ok |
-----------------------
For generic kernel features that need architecture support, the
arch-support.txt file in each feature directory shows the arch
support matrix, for all upstream Linux architectures.
The meaning of entries in the tables is:
| ok | # feature supported by the architecture
|TODO| # feature not yet supported by the architecture
| .. | # feature cannot be supported by the hardware
This directory structure can be used in the future to add other
files - such as porting guides, testing description, etc.
The Documentation/features/ hierarchy may also include generic
kernel features that works on every architecture, in that case
the arch-support.txt file will list every architecture as
supported.
To list an architecture's unsupported features, just do something
like:
triton:~/tip> git grep -lE 'x86.*TODO' Documentation/features/*/*/arch-support.txt
Documentation/features/lib/strncasecmp/arch-support.txt
Documentation/features/time/arch-tick-broadcast/arch-support.txt
which will print the list of not yet supported features.
The Documentation/features/list-arch.sh script will print the current
support matrix of one architecture:
triton:~/tip> Documentation/features/list-arch.sh

Pull ia64 fix from Tony Luck:
"Fix some build warnings for ia64 - cpu_callin_map doesn't need to be
volatile"
* tag 'please-pull-rusty' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux:
ia64: make cpu_callin_map non-volatile.
We used to read file_handle twice. Once to get the amount of extra
bytes, and once to fetch the entire structure.
This may be problematic since we do size verifications only after the
first read, so if the number of extra bytes changes in userspace between
the first and second calls, we'll have an incoherent view of
file_handle.
Instead, read the constant size once, and copy that over to the final
structure without having to re-read it again.

If the specified maximum length of the string is a multiple of unsigned
long, we would load one long behind the specified maximum. If that
happens to be in a next page, we can hit a page fault although we were
not expected to.
Fix the off-by-one bug in the test whether we are at the end of the
specified range.

cpumask_test_cpu() doesn't take volatile, unlike the obsoleted
cpu_isset. The only place ia64 really cares is the spin waiting for a
bit; udelay() is probably a barrier but insert barrier() to be sure.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
1) Various VTI tunnel (mark handling, PMTU) bug fixes from Alexander
Duyck and Steffen Klassert.
2) Revert ethtool PHY query change, it wasn't correct. The PHY address
selected by the driver running the PHY to MAC connection decides
what PHY address GET ethtool operations return information from.
3) Fix handling of sequence number bits for encryption IV generation in
ESP driver, from Herbert Xu.
4) UDP can return -EAGAIN when we hit a bad checksum on receive, even
when there are other packets in the receive queue which is wrong.
Just respect the error returned from the generic socket recv
datagram helper. From Eric Dumazet.
5) Fix BNA driver firmware loading on big-endian systems, from Ivan
Vecera.
6) Fix regression in that we were inheriting the congestion control of
the listening socket for new connections, the intended behavior
always was to use the default in this case. From Neal Cardwell.
7) Fix NULL deref in brcmfmac driver, from Arend van Spriel.
8) OTP parsing fix in iwlwifi from Liad Kaufman.

Pull Sparc fixes from David Miller:
1) Setup the core/threads/sockets bitmaps correctly so that 'lscpus'
and friends operate properly. Frtom Chris Hyser.
2) The bit that normally means "Cached Virtually" on sun4v systems,
actually changes meaning in M7 and later chips. Fix from Khalid
Aziz.
3) One some PCI-E systems we need to probe different OF properties to
fill in the PCI slot information properly, from Eric Snowberg.
4) Kill an extraneous memset after kzalloc(), from Christophe Jaillet.
