Merge branch 'next' (accumulated 3.16 merge window patches) into master
Now that 3.15 is released, this merges the 'next' branch into 'master', bringing us to the normal situation where my 'master' branch is the merge window. * accumulated work in next: (6809 commits) ufs: sb mutex merge + mutex_destroy powerpc: update comments for generic idle conversion cris: update comments for generic idle conversion idle: remove cpu_idle() forward declarations nbd: zero from and len fields in NBD_CMD_DISCONNECT. mm: convert some level-less printks to pr_* MAINTAINERS: adi-buildroot-devel is moderated MAINTAINERS: add linux-api for review of API/ABI changes mm/kmemleak-test.c: use pr_fmt for logging fs/dlm/debug_fs.c: replace seq_printf by seq_puts fs/dlm/lockspace.c: convert simple_str to kstr fs/dlm/config.c: convert simple_str to kstr mm: mark remap_file_pages() syscall as deprecated mm: memcontrol: remove unnecessary memcg argument from soft limit functions mm: memcontrol: clean up memcg zoneinfo lookup mm/memblock.c: call kmemleak directly from memblock_(alloc|free) mm/mempool.c: update the kmemleak stack trace for mempool allocations lib/radix-tree.c: update the kmemleak stack trace for radix tree allocations mm: introduce kmemleak_update_trace() mm/kmemleak.c: use %u to print ->checksum ...

Description:
- The /sys/power/state file controls the system power state.
- Reading from this file returns what states are supported,
- which is hard-coded to 'freeze' (Low-Power Idle), 'standby'
- (Power-On Suspend), 'mem' (Suspend-to-RAM), and 'disk'
- (Suspend-to-Disk).
+ The /sys/power/state file controls system sleep states.
+ Reading from this file returns the available sleep state
+ labels, which may be "mem", "standby", "freeze" and "disk"
+ (hibernation). The meanings of the first three labels depend on
+ the relative_sleep_states command line argument as follows:
+ 1) relative_sleep_states = 1
+ "mem", "standby", "freeze" represent non-hibernation sleep
+ states from the deepest ("mem", always present) to the
+ shallowest ("freeze"). "standby" and "freeze" may or may
+ not be present depending on the capabilities of the
+ platform. "freeze" can only be present if "standby" is
+ present.
+ 2) relative_sleep_states = 0 (default)
+ "mem" - "suspend-to-RAM", present if supported.
+ "standby" - "power-on suspend", present if supported.
+ "freeze" - "suspend-to-idle", always present.
Writing to this file one of these strings causes the system to
- transition into that state. Please see the file
- Documentation/power/states.txt for a description of each of
- these states.
+ transition into the corresponding state, if available. See
+ Documentation/power/states.txt for a description of what
+ "suspend-to-RAM", "power-on suspend" and "suspend-to-idle" mean.
