1ee07ef6b5 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux
Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
 "This patch set contains the main portion of the changes for 3.18 in
  regard to the s390 architecture.  It is a bit bigger than usual,
  mainly because of a new driver and the vector extension patches.

  The interesting bits are:
   - Quite a bit of work on the tracing front.  Uprobes is enabled and
     the ftrace code is reworked to get some of the lost performance
     back if CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled.
   - To improve boot time with CONFIG_DEBIG_PAGEALLOC, support for the
     IPTE range facility is added.
   - The rwlock code is re-factored to improve writer fairness and to be
     able to use the interlocked-access instructions.
   - The kernel part for the support of the vector extension is added.
   - The device driver to access the CD/DVD on the HMC is added, this
     will hopefully come in handy to improve the installation process.
   - Add support for control-unit initiated reconfiguration.
   - The crypto device driver is enhanced to enable the additional AP
     domains and to allow the new crypto hardware to be used.
   - Bug fixes"

Add an exception to the return before else warning when the line
following it is also a return like:

	if (foo)
		return bar;
	else
		return baz;

This form of a test then return is at least as readable as

	if (foo)
		return bar;

so don't emit a warning on the first form.

66b47b4a9d checkpatch: look for common misspellings
Check for misspellings, based on Debian's lintian list.  Several false
positives were removed, and several additional words added that were
common in the kernel:

	backword backwords
	invalide valide
	recieves
	singed unsinged

While going back and fixing existing spelling mistakes isn't a high
priority, it'd be nice to try to catch them before they hit the tree.

In the 13830 commits between 3.15 and 3.16, the script would have noticed
560 spelling mistakes. The top 25 are shown here:

08a2843e77 checkpatch: warn on macros with flow control statements
Macros with flow control statements (goto and return) are not very nice to
read as any flow movement is unexpected.

Try to highlight them and emit a warning on their definition.

Avoid warning on macros that use argument concatenation as those macros
commonly create another function where the concatenation is used in the
function name definition like:

	#define FOO_FUNC(name, rtn_type)	\
	rtn_type func##name(arg1, ...)		\
	{					\
		rtn_type rtn;			\
		[code...]			\
		return rtn;			\

f17dba4fc0 checkpatch: add --strict test for concatenated string elements
Using a space between concatenated string elements is easier for a human
to read.

ie:
	"String"FOO"bar"

is easier to read as:

	"String" FOO "bar"

So suggest this style with a --strict command line option.

56193274ef checkpatch: allow optional shorter config descriptions
This script is used by many other projects, and in some of them the
requirement of at least 4 line long description for all Kconfig items is
excessive.  This patch adds a command line option to control the required
minimum length.

Tested running this script over a patch including a two line config
description.  The script generated a warning when invoked as is, and did
not generate it when invoked with --min-conf-desc-length=2.

6c34f1f542 aarch64: filter $x from kallsyms

terribly helpful when looking at %pF output and the like. Filter those

Seems simplest since none of these check EM_ARM anyway, to just add it
to the strchr used, rather than trying to make things overly
complicated.

  PF_USED_MATH flag leading to a weird crash.

beb50df39e kbuild: handle module compression while running 'make modules_install'.
Since module-init-tools (gzip) and kmod (gzip and xz) support compressed
modules, it could be useful to include a support for compressing modules
right after having them installed. Doing this in kbuild instead of per
distro can permit to make this kind of usage more generic.

This patch add a Kconfig entry to "Enable loadable module support" menu
and let you choose to compress using gzip (default) or xz.

Both gzip and xz does not used any extra -[1-9] option since Andi Kleen
and Rusty Russell prove no gain is made using them. gzip is called with -n
argument to avoid storing original filename inside compressed file, that
way we can save some more bytes.

On a v3.16 kernel, 'make allmodconfig' generated 4680 modules for a
total of 378MB (no strip, no sign, no compress), the following table
shows observed disk space gain based on the allmodconfig .config :

       |           time                |
       +-------------+-----------------+
       | manual .ko  |       make      | size | percent
       | compression | modules_install |      | gain
       +-------------+-----------------+------+--------
  -    |             |     18.61s      | 378M |
  GZIP |   3m16s     |     3m37s       | 102M | 73.41%
  XZ   |   5m22s     |     5m39s       |  77M | 79.83%

The gain for restricted environnement seems to be interesting while
uncompress can be time consuming but happens only while loading a module,
that is generally done only once.

This is fully compatible with signed modules while the signed module is
compressed. module-init-tools or kmod handles decompression
and provide to other layer the uncompressed but signed payload.

7285996aa0 kconfig: nconfig: fix multi-byte UTF handling
Currently, Kconfig descriptions that use multi-byte UTF-8 characters
(such as MTD_NAND_CAFE) will have their menu entries dropped from the
'make nconfig' ncurses menu, and all subsequent entries in the same
window will be omitted. This seems to be due to the ncurses 'menu'
library, which does not traditionally handle UTF-8 >8-bit characters
properly.

The ncursesw library ('w' is for "wide") is written to handle these
UTF-8 characters, and is practically a drop-in replacement at the source
level. Use it by default, if available.
