 "Main changes:

   - scheduler side full-dynticks (user-space execution is undisturbed
     and receives no timer IRQs) preparation changes that convert the
     cputime accounting code to be full-dynticks ready, from Frederic
     Weisbecker.

   - Initial sched.h split-up changes, by Clark Williams

   - select_idle_sibling() performance improvement by Mike Galbraith:

        " 1 tbench pair (worst case) in a 10 core + SMT package:

          pre   15.22 MB/sec 1 procs
          post 252.01 MB/sec 1 procs "

  - sched_rr_get_interval() ABI fix/change.  We think this detail is not
    used by apps (so it's not an ABI in practice), but lets keep it
    under observation.

  - misc RT scheduling cleanups, optimizations"

      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 }'
        # Event count (approx.): 6876107743
        #
        #         Overhead  Command      Shared Object                      Symbol
        # ................  .......  .................  ..........................
            99.84%  99.76%  noploop  noploop            [.] main
             0.07%   0.00%  noploop  ld-2.15.so         [.] strcmp
             0.03%   0.00%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] timerqueue_del
             0.03%   0.03%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] sched_clock_cpu
             0.02%   0.00%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] account_user_time
             0.01%   0.00%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __alloc_pages_nodemask
             0.00%   0.00%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] native_write_msr_safe
             0.00%   0.11%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] _raw_spin_lock
             0.00%   0.06%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] find_get_page
             0.00%   0.02%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] rcu_check_callbacks
             0.00%   0.02%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __current_kernel_time

     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.

   - Initial GTK+ annotate browser, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Add option for runtime switching perf data file in perf report,
     just press 's' and a menu with the valid files found in the current
     directory will be presented, from Feng Tang.

   - Add support to display whole group data for raw columns, from Jiri
     Olsa.

   - Add per processor socket count aggregation in perf stat, from
     Stephane Eranian.

   - Add interval printing in 'perf stat', from Stephane Eranian.

   - 'perf test' improvements

   - Add support for wildcards in tracepoint system name, from Jiri
     Olsa.

   - Add anonymous huge page recognition, from Joshua Zhu.

   - perf build-id cache now can show DSOs present in a perf.data file
     that are not in the cache, to integrate with build-id servers being
     put in place by organizations such as Fedora.

   - perf top now shares more of the evsel config/creation routines with
     'record', paving the way for further integration like 'top'
     snapshots, etc.

   - perf top now supports DWARF callchains.

   - Fix mmap limitations on 32-bit, fix from David Miller.

   - 'perf bench numa mem' NUMA performance measurement suite

   - ... and lots of fixes, performance improvements, cleanups and other
     improvements I failed to list - see the shortlog and git log for
     details."

      Pull irq core changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest changes are the IRQ-work and printk changes from Frederic
  Weisbecker, which prepare the code for 'full dynticks' (the ability to
  stop or slow down the periodic tick arbitrarily, not just in idle time
  as today):

   - 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
     printk_tick()/printk_needs_cpu() hooks and make it working even in
     dynticks mode.

   - Cleanups and fixes."

Petr says: "
 I've analysed the bug and I think that xen_iret() cannot cope with
 mangled DS, in this case zeroed out (null selector/descriptor) by either
 xen_failsafe_callback() or RESTORE_REGS because the corresponding LDT
 entry was invalidated by the reproducer. "

Jan took a look at the preliminary patch and came up a fix that solves
this problem:

"This code gets called after all registers other than those handled by
IRET got already restored, hence a null selector in %ds or a non-null
one that got loaded from a code or read-only data descriptor would
cause a kernel mode fault (with the potential of crashing the kernel
as a whole, if panic_on_oops is set)."

The way to fix this is to realize that the we can only relay on the
registers that IRET restores. The two that are guaranteed are the
%cs and %ss as they are always fixed GDT selectors. Also they are
inaccessible from user mode - so they cannot be altered. This is
the approach taken in this patch.

Another alternative option suggested by Jan would be to relay on
the subtle realization that using the %ebp or %esp relative references uses
the %ss segment.  In which case we could switch from using %eax to %ebp and
would not need the %ss over-rides. That would also require one extra
instruction to compensate for the one place where the register is used
as scaled index. However Andrew pointed out that is too subtle and if
further work was to be done in this code-path it could escape folks attention
and lead to accidents.

      sparc64: Fix get_user_pages_fast() wrt. THP. · 89a77915
      David S. Miller authored 
      Mostly mirrors the s390 logic, as unlike x86 we don't need the
SetPageReferenced() bits.

On sparc64 we also lack a user/privileged bit in the huge PMDs.

In order to make this work for THP and non-THP builds, some header
file adjustments were necessary.  Namely, provide the PMD_HUGE_* bit
defines and the pmd_large() inline unconditionally rather than
protected by TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE.

   2) PCI dma mapping errors in atl1c are not checked for and this cause
      hard crashes for some users, from Xiong Huang.

   3) In 3.8.x we merged the removal of the EXPERIMENTAL dependency for
      'dlm' but the same patch for 'sctp' got lost somewhere, resulting
      in the potential for build errors since there are cross
      dependencies.  From Kees Cook.

   4) SCTP's ipv6 socket route validation makes boolean tests
      incorrectly, fix from Daniel Borkmann.

   5) mac80211 does sizeof(ptr) instead of (sizeof(ptr) * nelem), from

      Dumazet.

   7) Avoid crashes in macvtap by setting ->gso_type consistently in

   9) STP protocol frames should use high packet priority, otherwise an
      overloaded bridge can get stuck.  From Stephen Hemminger.

  10) The HTB packet scheduler was converted some time ago to store
      internal timestamps in nanoseconds, but we don't convert back into
      psched ticks for the user during dumps.  Fix from Jiri Pirko.

  11) mwl8k channel table doesn't set the .band field properly,
      resulting in NULL pointer derefs.  Fix from Jonas Gorski.

  12) mac80211 doesn't accumulate channels properly during a scan so we
      can downgrade heavily to a much less desirable connection speed.
      Fix from Johannes Berg.

  13) PHY probe failure in stmmac can result in resource leaks and
