Here's the big driver-core pull request for 3.17-rc1. Largest thing in here is the dma-buf rework and fence code, that touched many different subsystems so it was agreed it should go through this tree to handle merge issues. There's also some firmware loading updates, as well as tests added, and a few other tiny changes, the changelog has the details. All have been in linux-next for a long time.

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 - note that some tests will require root privileges. To run only tests targeted for a single subsystem: (including hotplug targets in limited mode) $ make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=cpu-hotplug run_tests See the top-level tools/testing/selftests/Makefile for the list of all possible targets. Running the full range hotplug selftests ======================================== To build the tests: $ make -C tools/testing/selftests hotplug To run the tests: $ make -C tools/testing/selftests run_hotplug - note that some tests will require root privileges. 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.
