Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
 - a new jpeg codec driver for Samsung Exynos (jpeg-hw-exynos4)
 - a new dvb frontend for ds2103 chipset (m88ds2103)
 - a new sensor driver for Samsung S5K5BAF UXGA (s5k5baf)
 - new drivers for R-Car VSP1
 - a new radio driver: radio-raremono
 - a new tuner driver for ts2022 chipset (m88ts2022)
 - the analog part of em28xx is now a separate module that only
   load/runs if the device is not a pure digital TV device
 - added a staging driver for bcm2048 radio devices
 - the omap 2 video driver (omap24xx) was moved to staging.  This driver
   is for an old hardware and uses a deprecated Kernel internal API.  If
   nobody cares enough to fix it, it would be removed on a couple Kernel
   releases
 - the sn9c102 driver was moved to staging.  This driver was replaced by
   gspca, and disabled on some distros, as almost all devices are known
   to work properly with gspca.  It should be removed from kernel on a
   couple Kernel releases
 - lots of driver fixes, improvements and cleanups

<title>Btrfs: add support for inode properties</title>

<id>63541927c8d11d2686778b1e8ec71c14b4fd53e4</id>
<content type='text'>
This change adds infrastructure to allow for generic properties for
inodes. Properties are name/value pairs that can be associated with
inodes for different purposes. They are stored as xattrs with the
prefix "btrfs."

Properties can be inherited - this means when a directory inode has
inheritable properties set, these are added to new inodes created
under that directory. Further, subvolumes can also have properties
associated with them, and they can be inherited from their parent
subvolume. Naturally, directory properties have priority over subvolume
properties (in practice a subvolume property is just a regular
property associated with the root inode, objectid 256, of the
subvolume's fs tree).

This change also adds one specific property implementation, named
"compression", whose values can be "lzo" or "zlib" and it's an
inheritable property.

The corresponding changes to btrfs-progs were also implemented.
A patch with xfstests for this feature will follow once there's
agreement on this change/feature.

Further, the script at the bottom of this commit message was used to
do some benchmarks to measure any performance penalties of this feature.

Basically the tests correspond to:

Test 1 - create a filesystem and mount it with compress-force=lzo,
then sequentially create N files of 64Kb each, measure how long it took
to create the files, unmount the filesystem, mount the filesystem and
perform an 'ls -lha' against the test directory holding the N files, and
report the time the command took.

Test 2 - create a filesystem and don't use any compression option when
mounting it - instead set the compression property of the subvolume's
root to 'lzo'. Then create N files of 64Kb, and report the time it took.
The unmount the filesystem, mount it again and perform an 'ls -lha' like
in the former test. This means every single file ends up with a property
(xattr) associated to it.

Test 3 - same as test 2, but uses 4 properties - 3 are duplicates of the
compression property, have no real effect other than adding more work
when inheriting properties and taking more btree leaf space.

Test 4 - same as test 3 but with 10 properties per file.

Results (in seconds, and averages of 5 runs each), for different N
numbers of files follow.

* Without properties (test 1)

                    file creation time        ls -lha time
10 000 files              3.49                   0.76
100 000 files            47.19                   8.37
1 000 000 files         518.51                 107.06

* With 1 property (compression property set to lzo - test 2)

                    file creation time        ls -lha time
10 000 files              3.63                    0.93
100 000 files            48.56                    9.74
1 000 000 files         537.72                  125.11

* With 4 properties (test 3)

                    file creation time        ls -lha time
10 000 files              3.94                    1.20
100 000 files            52.14                   11.48
1 000 000 files         572.70                  142.13

* With 10 properties (test 4)

                    file creation time        ls -lha time
10 000 files              4.61                    1.35
100 000 files            58.86                   13.83
1 000 000 files         656.01                  177.61

The increased latencies with properties are essencialy because of:

*) When creating an inode, we now synchronously write 1 more item
   (an xattr item) for each property inherited from the parent dir
   (or subvolume). This could be done in an asynchronous way such
   as we do for dir intex items (delayed-inode.c), which could help
   reduce the file creation latency;

*) With properties, we now have larger fs trees. For this particular
   test each xattr item uses 75 bytes of leaf space in the fs tree.
   This could be less by using a new item for xattr items, instead of
   the current btrfs_dir_item, since we could cut the 'location' and
   'type' fields (saving 18 bytes) and maybe 'transid' too (saving a
   total of 26 bytes per xattr item) from the btrfs_dir_item type.

Also tried batching the xattr insertions (ignoring proper hash
collision handling, since it didn't exist) when creating files that
inherit properties from their parent inode/subvolume, but the end
results were (surprisingly) essentially the same.

Test script:

$ cat test.pl
  #!/usr/bin/perl -w

  use strict;
  use Time::HiRes qw(time);
  use constant NUM_FILES =&gt; 10_000;
  use constant FILE_SIZES =&gt; (64 * 1024);

  use constant MNT_POINT =&gt; '/home/fdmanana/btrfs-tests/dev';
  use constant TEST_DIR =&gt; (MNT_POINT . '/testdir');

  system("mkfs.btrfs", "-l", "16384", "-f", DEV) == 0 or die "mkfs.btrfs failed!";

  # following line for testing without properties

This change adds infrastructure to allow for generic properties for
inodes. Properties are name/value pairs that can be associated with
inodes for different purposes. They are stored as xattrs with the
prefix "btrfs."

Properties can be inherited - this means when a directory inode has
inheritable properties set, these are added to new inodes created
under that directory. Further, subvolumes can also have properties
associated with them, and they can be inherited from their parent
subvolume. Naturally, directory properties have priority over subvolume
properties (in practice a subvolume property is just a regular
property associated with the root inode, objectid 256, of the
subvolume's fs tree).

This change also adds one specific property implementation, named
"compression", whose values can be "lzo" or "zlib" and it's an
inheritable property.

The corresponding changes to btrfs-progs were also implemented.
A patch with xfstests for this feature will follow once there's
agreement on this change/feature.

Further, the script at the bottom of this commit message was used to
do some benchmarks to measure any performance penalties of this feature.

Basically the tests correspond to:

Test 1 - create a filesystem and mount it with compress-force=lzo,
then sequentially create N files of 64Kb each, measure how long it took
to create the files, unmount the filesystem, mount the filesystem and
perform an 'ls -lha' against the test directory holding the N files, and
report the time the command took.

Test 2 - create a filesystem and don't use any compression option when
mounting it - instead set the compression property of the subvolume's
root to 'lzo'. Then create N files of 64Kb, and report the time it took.
The unmount the filesystem, mount it again and perform an 'ls -lha' like
in the former test. This means every single file ends up with a property
(xattr) associated to it.

Test 3 - same as test 2, but uses 4 properties - 3 are duplicates of the
compression property, have no real effect other than adding more work
when inheriting properties and taking more btree leaf space.

Test 4 - same as test 3 but with 10 properties per file.

Results (in seconds, and averages of 5 runs each), for different N
numbers of files follow.

* Without properties (test 1)

                    file creation time        ls -lha time
10 000 files              3.49                   0.76
100 000 files            47.19                   8.37
1 000 000 files         518.51                 107.06

* With 1 property (compression property set to lzo - test 2)

                    file creation time        ls -lha time
10 000 files              3.63                    0.93
100 000 files            48.56                    9.74
1 000 000 files         537.72                  125.11

* With 4 properties (test 3)

                    file creation time        ls -lha time
10 000 files              3.94                    1.20
100 000 files            52.14                   11.48
1 000 000 files         572.70                  142.13

* With 10 properties (test 4)

                    file creation time        ls -lha time
10 000 files              4.61                    1.35
100 000 files            58.86                   13.83
1 000 000 files         656.01                  177.61

The increased latencies with properties are essencialy because of:

*) When creating an inode, we now synchronously write 1 more item
   (an xattr item) for each property inherited from the parent dir
   (or subvolume). This could be done in an asynchronous way such
   as we do for dir intex items (delayed-inode.c), which could help
   reduce the file creation latency;

*) With properties, we now have larger fs trees. For this particular
   test each xattr item uses 75 bytes of leaf space in the fs tree.
   This could be less by using a new item for xattr items, instead of
   the current btrfs_dir_item, since we could cut the 'location' and
   'type' fields (saving 18 bytes) and maybe 'transid' too (saving a
   total of 26 bytes per xattr item) from the btrfs_dir_item type.

Also tried batching the xattr insertions (ignoring proper hash
collision handling, since it didn't exist) when creating files that
inherit properties from their parent inode/subvolume, but the end
results were (surprisingly) essentially the same.

Test script:

$ cat test.pl
  #!/usr/bin/perl -w

  use strict;
  use Time::HiRes qw(time);
  use constant NUM_FILES =&gt; 10_000;
  use constant FILE_SIZES =&gt; (64 * 1024);
  use constant DEV =&gt; '/dev/sdb4';
  use constant MNT_POINT =&gt; '/home/fdmanana/btrfs-tests/dev';
  use constant TEST_DIR =&gt; (MNT_POINT . '/testdir');

  system("mkfs.btrfs", "-l", "16384", "-f", DEV) == 0 or die "mkfs.btrfs failed!";

  # following line for testing without properties

  my ($t1, $t2);

<title>btrfs: add ioctl to export size of global metadata reservation</title>

btrfs filesystem df output will show the size of the metadata space
and how much of it is used, and the user assumes that the difference
is all usable space. Since that's not actually the case due to the
global metadata reservation, we should provide the full picture to the
user.

This patch adds an ioctl that exports the size of the global metadata
reservation so that btrfs filesystem df can report it.

<title>btrfs: add ioctls to query/change feature bits online</title>

<id>2eaa055fab4e3127c9f572fda1b710cbb2acdf1c</id>
<content type='text'>
There are some feature bits that require no offline setup and can
be enabled online. I've only reviewed extended irefs, but there will
probably be more.

We introduce three new ioctls:
- BTRFS_IOC_GET_SUPPORTED_FEATURES: query the kernel for supported features.
- BTRFS_IOC_GET_FEATURES: query the kernel for enabled features on a per-fs
  basis, as well as querying for which features are changeable with mounted.
- BTRFS_IOC_SET_FEATURES: change features on a per-fs basis.

We introduce two new masks per feature set (_SAFE_SET and _SAFE_CLEAR) that
allow us to define which features are safe to change at runtime.

The failure modes for BTRFS_IOC_SET_FEATURES are as follows:
- Enabling a completely unsupported feature: warns and returns -ENOTSUPP
- Enabling a feature that can only be done offline: warns and returns -EPERM

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "As far as the number of commits goes, the top spot belongs to ACPI
  this time with cpufreq in the second position and a handful of PM
  core, PNP and cpuidle updates.  They are fixes and cleanups mostly, as
  usual, with a couple of new features in the mix.

  The most visible change is probably that we will create struct
  acpi_device objects (visible in sysfs) for all devices represented in
  the ACPI tables regardless of their status and there will be a new
  sysfs attribute under those objects allowing user space to check that
  status via _STA.

  Consequently, ACPI device eject or generally hot-removal will not
  delete those objects, unless the table containing the corresponding
  namespace nodes is unloaded, which is extremely rare.  Also ACPI
  container hotplug will be handled quite a bit differently and cpufreq
  will support CPU boost ("turbo") generically and not only in the
  acpi-cpufreq driver.

  Specifics:

   - ACPI core changes to make it create a struct acpi_device object for
     every device represented in the ACPI tables during all namespace
     scans regardless of the current status of that device.  In
     accordance with this, ACPI hotplug operations will not delete those
     objects, unless the underlying ACPI tables go away.

   - On top of the above, new sysfs attribute for ACPI device objects
     allowing user space to check device status by triggering the
     execution of _STA for its ACPI object.  From Srinivas Pandruvada.

   - ACPI core hotplug changes reducing code duplication, integrating
     the PCI root hotplug with the core and reworking container hotplug.

   - ACPI core simplifications making it use ACPI_COMPANION() in the
     code "glueing" ACPI device objects to "physical" devices.

     the DBG2 and PCCT tables to ACPICA, fixes some bugs and improves
     debug facilities.  From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng and Betty Dall.

   - Init code change to carry out the early ACPI initialization
     earlier.  That should allow us to use ACPI during the timekeeping
     initialization and possibly to simplify the EFI initialization too.
     From Chun-Yi Lee.

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "As far as the number of commits goes, the top spot belongs to ACPI
  this time with cpufreq in the second position and a handful of PM
  core, PNP and cpuidle updates.  They are fixes and cleanups mostly, as
  usual, with a couple of new features in the mix.

  The most visible change is probably that we will create struct
  acpi_device objects (visible in sysfs) for all devices represented in
  the ACPI tables regardless of their status and there will be a new
  sysfs attribute under those objects allowing user space to check that
  status via _STA.

  Consequently, ACPI device eject or generally hot-removal will not
  delete those objects, unless the table containing the corresponding
  namespace nodes is unloaded, which is extremely rare.  Also ACPI
  container hotplug will be handled quite a bit differently and cpufreq
  will support CPU boost ("turbo") generically and not only in the
  acpi-cpufreq driver.

  Specifics:

   - ACPI core changes to make it create a struct acpi_device object for
     every device represented in the ACPI tables during all namespace
     scans regardless of the current status of that device.  In
     accordance with this, ACPI hotplug operations will not delete those
     objects, unless the underlying ACPI tables go away.

   - On top of the above, new sysfs attribute for ACPI device objects
     allowing user space to check device status by triggering the
     execution of _STA for its ACPI object.  From Srinivas Pandruvada.

   - ACPI core hotplug changes reducing code duplication, integrating
     the PCI root hotplug with the core and reworking container hotplug.

   - ACPI core simplifications making it use ACPI_COMPANION() in the
     code "glueing" ACPI device objects to "physical" devices.

   - ACPICA update to upstream version 20131218.  This adds support for
     the DBG2 and PCCT tables to ACPICA, fixes some bugs and improves
     debug facilities.  From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng and Betty Dall.
