The Code of Conflict is not achieving its implicit goal of fostering civility and the spirit of 'be excellent to each other'. Explicit guidelines have demonstrated success in other projects and other areas of the kernel. Here is a Code of Conduct statement for the wider kernel. It is based on the Contributor Covenant as described at www.contributor-covenant.org From this point forward, we should abide by these rules in order to help make the kernel community a welcoming environment to participate in.

2018-09-14xen/balloon: add runtime control for scrubbing ballooned out pagesMarek Marczykowski-Górecki2-0/+15
Scrubbing pages on initial balloon down can take some time, especially in nested virtualization case (nested EPT is slow). When HVM/PVH guest is started with memory= significantly lower than maxmem=, all the extra pages will be scrubbed before returning to Xen. But since most of them weren't used at all at that point, Xen needs to populate them first (from populate-on-demand pool). In nested virt case (Xen inside KVM) this slows down the guest boot by 15-30s with just 1.5GB needed to be returned to Xen. Add runtime parameter to enable/disable it, to allow initially disabling scrubbing, then enable it back during boot (for example in initramfs). Such usage relies on assumption that a) most pages ballooned out during initial boot weren't used at all, and b) even if they were, very few secrets are in the guest at that time (before any serious userspace kicks in). Convert CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES to CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES_DEFAULT (also enabled by default), controlling default value for the new runtime switch.

The current cpsw usage for cpsw-phy-sel is undocumented but is used for all the boards using cpsw. And cpsw-phy-sel is not really a child of the cpsw device, it lives in the system control module instead. Let's document the existing usage, and improve it a bit where we prefer to use a phandle instead of a child device for it. That way we can properly describe the hardware in dts files for things like genpd.

2018-08-27xen/blkback: don't keep persistent grants too longJuergen Gross1-0/+10
Persistent grants are allocated until a threshold per ring is being reached. Those grants won't be freed until the ring is being destroyed meaning there will be resources kept busy which might no longer be used. Instead of freeing only persistent grants until the threshold is reached add a timestamp and remove all persistent grants not having been in use for a minute.

2018-08-24arm64: dts: Fix various entry-method properties to reflect documentationAmit Kucheria2-3/+3
The idle-states binding documentation[1] mentions that the 'entry-method' property is required on 64-bit platforms and must be set to "psci". commit a13f18f59d26 ("Documentation: arm: Fix typo in the idle-states bindings examples") attempted to fix this earlier but clearly more is needed. Fix the cpu-capacity.txt documentation that uses the incorrect value so we don't get copy-paste errors like these. Clarify the language in idle-states.txt by removing the reference to the psci bindings that might be causing this confusion. Finally, fix devicetrees of various boards to reflect current documentation.
