Pull ARM SoC fixes from Olof Johansson: "We didn't have a batch last week, so this one is slightly larger. None of them are scary though, a handful of fixes for small DT pieces, replacing properties with newer conventions. Highlights: - N900 fix for setting system revision - onenand init fix to avoid filesystem corruption - Clock fix for audio on Beaglebone-x15 - Fixes on shmobile to deal with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA (default y in 4.6) + misc smaller stuff" * tag 'armsoc-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: MAINTAINERS: Extend info, add wiki and ml for meson arch MAINTAINERS: alpine: add a new maintainer and update the entry ARM: at91/dt: fix typo in sama5d2 pinmux descriptions ARM: OMAP2+: Fix onenand initialization to avoid filesystem corruption Revert "regulator: tps65217: remove tps65217.dtsi file" ARM: shmobile: Remove shmobile_boot_arg ARM: shmobile: Move shmobile_smp_{mpidr, fn, arg}[] from .text to .bss ARM: shmobile: r8a7779: Remove remainings of removed SCU boot setup code ARM: shmobile: Move shmobile_scu_base from .text to .bss ARM: OMAP2+: Fix omap_device for module reload on PM runtime forbid ARM: OMAP2+: Improve omap_device error for driver writers ARM: DTS: am57xx-beagle-x15: Select SYS_CLK2 for audio clocks ARM: dts: am335x/am57xx: replace gpio-key,wakeup with wakeup-source property ARM: OMAP2+: Set system_rev from ATAGS for n900 ARM: dts: orion5x: fix the missing mtd flash on linkstation lswtgl ARM: dts: kirkwood: use unique machine name for ds112 ARM: dts: imx6: remove bogus interrupt-parent from CAAM node

Linux Kernel Selftests
The kernel contains a set of "self tests" under the tools/testing/selftests/
directory. These are intended to be small unit tests to exercise individual
code paths in the kernel.
On some systems, hot-plug tests could hang forever waiting for cpu and
memory to be ready to be offlined. A special hot-plug target is created
to run full range of hot-plug tests. In default mode, hot-plug tests run
in safe mode with a limited scope. In limited mode, cpu-hotplug test is
run on a single cpu as opposed to all hotplug capable cpus, and memory
hotplug test is run on 2% of hotplug capable memory instead of 10%.
Running the selftests (hotplug tests are run in limited mode)
=============================================================
To build the tests:
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests
To run the tests:
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests run_tests
To build and run the tests with a single command, use:
$ make kselftest
- note that some tests will require root privileges.
Running a subset of selftests
========================================
You can use the "TARGETS" variable on the make command line to specify
single test to run, or a list of tests to run.
To run only tests targeted for a single subsystem:
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=ptrace run_tests
You can specify multiple tests to build and run:
$ make TARGETS="size timers" kselftest
See the top-level tools/testing/selftests/Makefile for the list of all
possible targets.
Running the full range hotplug selftests
========================================
To build the hotplug tests:
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests hotplug
To run the hotplug tests:
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests run_hotplug
- note that some tests will require root privileges.
Install selftests
=================
You can use kselftest_install.sh tool installs selftests in default
location which is tools/testing/selftests/kselftest or an user specified
location.
To install selftests in default location:
$ cd tools/testing/selftests
$ ./kselftest_install.sh
To install selftests in an user specified location:
$ cd tools/testing/selftests
$ ./kselftest_install.sh install_dir
Contributing new tests
======================
In general, the rules for for selftests are
* Do as much as you can if you're not root;
* Don't take too long;
* Don't break the build on any architecture, and
* Don't cause the top-level "make run_tests" to fail if your feature is
unconfigured.
