      Pull OLPC platform updates from Andres Salomon:
       "These move the OLPC Embedded Controller driver out of
        arch/x86/platform and into drivers/platform/olpc.
      
        OLPC machines are now ARM-based (which means lots of x86 and ARM
        changes), but are typically pretty self-contained..  so it makes more
        sense to go through a separate OLPC tree after getting the appropriate
        review/ACKs."

      Pull arm-soc cpuidle enablement for OMAP from Olof Johansson:
       "Coupled cpuidle was meant to merge for 3.5 through Len Brown's tree,
        but didn't go in because the pull request ended up rejected.  So it
        just got merged, and we got this staged branch that enables the
        coupled cpuidle code on OMAP.
      
        With a stable git workflow from the other maintainer we could have
        staged this earlier, but that wasn't the case so we have had to merge
        it late.
      
        The alternative is to hold it off until 3.7 but given that the code is
        well-isolated to OMAP and they are eager to see it go in, I didn't
        push back hard in that direction."

      ceph: simplify+fix atomic_open · 5ef50c3b
      Sage Weil authored
      The initial ->atomic_open op was carried over from the old intent code,
      which was incomplete and didn't really work.  Replace it with a fresh
      method.  In particular:
      
       * always attempt to do an atomic open+lookup, both for the create case
         and for lookups of existing files.
       * fix symlink handling by returning 1 to the VFS so that we can follow
         the link to its destination. This fixes a longstanding ceph bug (#2392).

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull ARM DMA engine updates from Russell King:
       "This looks scary at first glance, but what it is is:
         - a rework of the sa11x0 DMA engine driver merged during the previous
           cycle, to extract a common set of helper functions for DMA engine
           implementations.
         - conversion of amba-pl08x.c to use these helper functions.
         - addition of OMAP DMA engine driver (using these helper functions),
           and conversion of some of the OMAP DMA users to use DMA engine.
      
        Nothing in the helper functions is ARM specific, so I hope that other
        implementations can consolidate some of their code by making use of
        these helpers.
      
        This has been sitting in linux-next most of the merge cycle, and has
        been tested by several OMAP folk.  I've tested it on sa11x0 platforms,
        and given it my best shot on my broken platforms which have the
        amba-pl08x controller.
      
        The last point is the addition to feature-removal-schedule.txt, which
        will have a merge conflict.  Between myself and TI, we're planning to
        remove the old TI DMA implementation next year."

      um: pass siginfo to guest process · d3c1cfcd
      Martin Pärtel authored
      UML guest processes now get correct siginfo_t for SIGTRAP, SIGFPE,
      SIGILL and SIGBUS. Specifically, si_addr and si_code are now correct
      where previously they were si_addr = NULL and si_code = 128.

      NeilBrown authored
      Now that DM_RAID supports raid10, it needs to select that code
      to ensure it is included.

      md/raid1: submit IO from originating thread instead of md thread. · f54a9d0e
      NeilBrown authored
      queuing writes to the md thread means that all requests go through the
      one processor which may not be able to keep up with very high request
      rates.
      
      So use the plugging infrastructure to submit all requests on unplug.
      If a 'schedule' is needed, we fall back on the old approach of handing
      the requests to the thread for it to handle.
