gcov: add support for GCC 5.1
Fix kernel gcov support for GCC 5.1. Similar to commit a992bf836f9
("gcov: add support for GCC 4.9"), this patch takes into account the
existence of a new gcov counter (see gcc's gcc/gcov-counter.def.)
Firstly, it increments GCOV_COUNTERS (to 10), which makes the data
structure struct gcov_info compatible with GCC 5.1.
Secondly, a corresponding counter function __gcov_merge_icall_topn (Top N
value tracking for indirect calls) is included in base.c with the other
gcov counters unused for kernel profiling.

kernel/panic/kexec: fix "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option issue in oops path
Commit f06e5153f4ae2e ("kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers"
option for kdump after panic_notifers") introduced
"crash_kexec_post_notifiers" kernel boot option, which toggles wheather
panic() calls crash_kexec() before panic_notifiers and dump kmsg or after.
The problem is that the commit overlooks panic_on_oops kernel boot option.
If it is enabled, crash_kexec() is called directly without going through
panic() in oops path.
To fix this issue, this patch adds a check to "crash_kexec_post_notifiers"

x86/kexec: prepend elfcorehdr instead of appending it to the crash-kernel command-line.
Any parameter passed after '--' in the kernel command-line will not be
parsed by the kernel at all, instead it will be passed directly to init
process.
Currently the kernel appends elfcorehdr=<paddr> to the cmdline passed from
kexec load, and if this command-line is used to pass parameters to init
process this means that 'elfcorehdr' will not be parsed as a kernel
parameter at all which will be a problem for vmcore subsystem since it
will know nothing about the location of the ELF structure!
Prepending 'elfcorehdr' instead of appending it fixes this problem since
it ensures that it always comes before '--' and so it's always parsed as a
kernel command-line parameter.
Even with this patch things can still go wrong if 'CONFIG_CMDLINE' was
also used to embedd a command-line to the crash dump kernel and this
command-line contains '--' since the current behavior of the kernel is to
actually append the boot loader command-line to the embedded command-line.

state is not completely constant during early init anymore,

After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers "region"
devices. A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the
boundaries of persistent memory media. A region may span multiple
NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller. In
turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and
bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block
device (disk) interface to the memory.
PMEM:
Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of
persistent memory address ranges is re-worked to drive
PMEM-namespaces emitted by the libnvdimm-core.
In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the ability to assert
that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all the way
through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent media.
See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem().
BLK:
This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through
"Block Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT. The primary difference
of this driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent
memory is mapped into system address space at any given point in
time.
Per-NVDIMM windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access
different portions of the media. BLK-mode, by definition, does not
support DAX.
BTT:
This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that
converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector
update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss).
The sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do
not know they have a atomic sector dependency. At least today's
disk's rarely ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly
gets a CRC error on access. NVDIMMs will always tear and always
silently. Until an application is audited to be robust in the
presence of sector-tearing the usage of BTT is recommended.

leds:lp55xx: fix firmware loading error
LP55xx driver uses not firmware file but raw data to load program through
the firmware interface.(Documents/leds/leds-lp55xx.txt)
For example, here is how to run blinking green channel pattern.
(The second engine is seleted and MUX is mapped to 'RGB' mode)
echo 2 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
echo "RGB" > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/engine_mux
echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5562/loading
echo "4000600040FF6000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp5562/data
echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5562/loading
echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
However, '/sys/class/firmware/<device name>' is not created after the
firmware loader user helper was introduced.
This feature is used in the case below.
As soon as the firmware download is requested by the driver, firmware
class subsystem tries to find the binary file.
If it gets failed, then it just falls back to user helper to load
raw data manually. Here, you can see the device file under
/sys/class/firmware/.
To make it happen, LP55xx driver requires two configurations.
1. Enable CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK in Kconfig
2. Set option, 'FW_OPT_USERHELPER' on requesting the firmware data.
It means the second option should be 'false' in
request_firmware_nowait().
This option enables to load firmware data manually by calling
fw_load_from_user_helper().

sctp: Fix race between OOTB responce and route removal
There is NULL pointer dereference possible during statistics update if the route
used for OOTB responce is removed at unfortunate time. If the route exists when
we receive OOTB packet and we finally jump into sctp_packet_transmit() to send
ABORT, but in the meantime route is removed under our feet, we take "no_route"
path and try to update stats with IP_INC_STATS(sock_net(asoc->base.sk), ...).
But sctp_ootb_pkt_new() used to prepare responce packet doesn't call
sctp_transport_set_owner() and therefore there is no asoc associated with this
packet. Probably temporary asoc just for OOTB responces is overkill, so just
introduce a check like in all other places in sctp_packet_transmit(), where
"asoc" is dereferenced.
To reproduce this, one needs to
0. ensure that sctp module is loaded (otherwise ABORT is not generated)
1. remove default route on the machine
2. while true; do
ip route del [interface-specific route]
ip route add [interface-specific route]
done
3. send enough OOTB packets (i.e. HB REQs) from another host to trigger ABORT
responce

NFSv4: When returning a delegation, don't reclaim an incompatible open mode.
It is possible to have an active open with one mode, and a delegation
for the same file with a different mode.
In particular, a WR_ONLY open and an RD_ONLY delegation.
This happens if a WR_ONLY open is followed by a RD_ONLY open which
provides a delegation, but is then close.
When returning the delegation, we currently try to claim opens for
every open type (n_rdwr, n_rdonly, n_wronly). As there is no harm
in claiming an open for a mode that we already have, this is often
simplest.
However if the delegation only provides a subset of the modes that we
currently have open, this will produce an error from the server.
So when claiming open modes prior to returning a delegation, skip the
open request if the mode is not covered by the delegation - the open_stateid
must already cover that mode, so there is nothing to do.
