Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of reorganization is going on mostly to prepare for worker pools
  with custom attributes so that workqueue can replace custom pool
  implementations in places including writeback and btrfs and make CPU
  assignment in crypto more flexible.

  workqueue evolved from purely per-cpu design and implementation, so
  there are a lot of assumptions regarding being bound to CPUs and even
  unbound workqueues are implemented as an extension of the model -
  workqueues running on the special unbound CPU.  Bulk of changes this
  round are about promoting worker_pools as the top level abstraction
  replacing global_cwq (global cpu workqueue).  At this point, I'm
  fairly confident about getting custom worker pools working pretty soon
  and ready for the next merge window.

  Lai's patches are replacing the convoluted mb() dancing workqueue has
  been doing with much simpler mechanism which only depends on
  assignment atomicity of long.  For details, please read the commit
  message of 0b3dae68 ("workqueue: simplify is-work-item-queued-here
  test").  While the change ends up adding one pointer to struct
  delayed_work, the inflation in percentage is less than five percent
  and it decouples delayed_work logic a lot more cleaner from usual work
  handling, removes the unusual memory barrier dancing, and allows for
  further simplification, so I think the trade-off is acceptable.

  There will be two more workqueue related pull requests and there are
  some shared commits among them.  I'll write further pull requests
  assuming this pull request is pulled first."

Pull workqueue [delayed_]work_pending() cleanups from Tejun Heo:
 "This is part of on-going cleanups to remove / minimize usages of
  workqueue interfaces which are deprecated and/or misleading.

  This round drops a number of usages of [delayed_]work_pending(), which
  are dangerous as they lack any form of synchronization and thus often
  lead to buggy / unnecessary code.  There are a couple legitimate use
  cases in kernel.  Hopefully, they can be converted and
  [delayed_]work_pending() can be removed completely.  Even if not,
  removing most of misuses should make it more difficult to find
  examples of misuses and thus slow down growth of them.

  These changes are independent from other workqueue changes."

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "There are lots of improvements, the biggest changes are:

  Main kernel side changes:

   - Improve uprobes performance by adding 'pre-filtering' support, by
     Oleg Nesterov.

   - Make some POWER7 events available in sysfs, equivalent to what was
     done on x86, from Sukadev Bhattiprolu.

   - tracing updates by Steve Rostedt - mostly misc fixes and smaller
     improvements.

   - Use perf/event tracing to report PCI Express advanced errors, by
     Tony Luck.

   - Enable northbridge performance counters on AMD family 15h, by Jacob
     Shin.

   - This tracing commit:

        tracing: Remove the extra 4 bytes of padding in events

     changes the ABI.  All involved parties (PowerTop in particular)
     seem to agree that it's safe to do now with the introduction of
     libtraceevent, but the devil is in the details ...

  Main tooling side changes:

   - Add 'event group view', from Namyung Kim:

     To use it, 'perf record' should group events when recording.  And
     then perf report parses the saved group relation from file header
     and prints them together if --group option is provided.  You can
     use the 'perf evlist' command to see event group information:

        $ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}' noploop 1
        [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
        [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.385 MB perf.data (~16807 samples) ]

        $ perf evlist --group
        {ref-cycles,cycles}

     With this example, default perf report will show you each event
     separately.

     You can use --group option to enable event group view:

        $ perf report --group
        ...
        # group: {ref-cycles,cycles}
        # ========
        # Samples: 7K of event 'anon group { ref-cycles, cycles }'

     As you can see the Overhead column now contains both of ref-cycles
     and cycles and header line shows group information also - 'anon
     group { ref-cycles, cycles }'.  The output is sorted by period of
     group leader first.

   - Don't stop tick with irq works pending.  This fix is generally
     useful and concerns archs that can't raise self IPIs.

   - Flush irq works before CPU offlining.

   - Introduce "lazy" irq works that can wait for the next tick to be
     executed, unless it's stopped.

   - Implement klogd wake up using irq work.  This removes the ad-hoc

commit d8e794df ("workqueue: set
delayed_work->timer function on initialization") exports function
delayed_work_timer_fn() only for GPL modules. This makes delayed-works
unusable for non-GPL modules, because initialization macro now requires
GPL symbol. For example schedule_delayed_work() available for non-GPL.

Commit c060f943 ("mm: use aligned zone start for pfn_to_bitidx
calculation") fixed out calculation of the index into the pageblock
bitmap when a !SPARSEMEM zome was not aligned to pageblock_nr_pages.

However, the _allocation_ of that bitmap had never taken this alignment
requirement into accout, so depending on the exact size and alignment of
the zone, the use of that index could then access past the allocation,
resulting in some very subtle memory corruption.

This was reported (and bisected) by Ingo Molnar: one of his random
config builds would hang with certain very specific kernel command line
options.

In the meantime, commit c060f943 has been marked for stable, so this
fix needs to be back-ported to the stable kernels that backported the
commit to use the right alignment.

If we pass fd of memory.usage_in_bytes of cgroup A to cgroup.event_control
of cgroup B, then we won't get memory usage notification from A but B!

What's worse, if A and B are in different mount hierarchy, we'll end up
accessing NULL pointer!

commit 205a872b ("cgroup: fix lockdep
warning for event_control") solved a deadlock by introducing a new
bug.

Move cgrp->event_list to a temporary list doesn't mean you can traverse
this list locklessly, because at the same time cgroup_event_wake() can
be called and remove the event from the list. The result of this race
is disastrous.

We adopt the way how kvm irqfd code implements race-free event removal,
which is now described in the comments in cgroup_event_wake().

v3:
- call eventfd_signal() no matter it's eventfd close or cgroup removal
that removes the cgroup event.

rename() will change dentry->d_name. The result of this race can
be worse than seeing partially rewritten name, but we might access
a stale pointer because rename() will re-allocate memory to hold
a longer name.

It's safe in the protection of dentry->d_lock.

v2: check NULL dentry before acquiring dentry lock.

In cgroup_exit() put_css_set_taskexit() is called without any lock,

On AMD family 15h processors, there are 4 new performance
counters (in addition to 6 core performance counters) that can
be used for counting northbridge events (i.e. DRAM accesses).

Their bit fields are almost identical to the core performance
counters. However, unlike the core performance counters, these
MSRs are shared between multiple cores (that share the same
northbridge).

We will reuse the same code path as existing family 10h
northbridge event constraints handler logic to enforce
this sharing.

     xen_iret for 32-bit PVOPS

  x86/xen: don't assume %ds is usable in xen_iret for 32-bit PVOPS.

As reported by Klaus Schmidinger:
 "In VDR I use an ioctl() call with FE_READ_UNCORRECTED_BLOCKS on a
  device (using stb0899).  After this call I check 'errno' for
  EOPNOTSUPP to determine whether this device supports this call.  This
  used to work just fine, until a few months ago I noticed that my
  devices using stb0899 didn't display their signal quality in VDR's OSD
  any more.  After further investigation I found that
  ioctl(FE_READ_UNCORRECTED_BLOCKS) no longer returns EOPNOTSUPP, but
  rather ENOTTY.  And since I stop getting the signal quality in case
  any unknown errno value appears, this broke my signal quality query
  function."

While the changes reflect what is there at:

  http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1235728

it does cause regression on userspace.  So, revert it to stop the
damage.
