      Pull UAPI disintegration fixes from David Howells:
       "There are three main parts:
      
       (1) I found I needed some more fixups in the wake of testing Arm64
           (some asm/unistd.h files had weird guards that caused problems -
           mostly in arches for which I don't have a compiler) and some
           __KERNEL__ splitting needed to take place in Arm64.
      
       (2) I found that c6x was missing some __KERNEL__ guards in its
           asm/signal.h.  Mark Salter pointed me at a tree with a patch to
           remove that file entirely and use the asm-generic variant instead.
      
       (3) Lastly, m68k turned out to have a header installation problem due
           to it lacking a kvm_para.h file.
      
           The conditional installation bits for linux/kvm_para.h, linux/kvm.h
           and linux/a.out.h weren't very well specified - and didn't work if
           an arch didn't have the asm/ version of that file, but there *was*
           an asm-generic/ version.
      
           It seems the "ifneq $((wildcard ...),)" for each of those three
           headers in include/kernel/Kbuild is invoked twice during header
           installation, and the second time it matches on the just installed
           asm-generic/kvm_para.h file and thus incorrectly installs
           linux/kvm_para.h as well.
      
           Most arches actually have an asm/kvm_para.h, so this wasn't
           detectable in those."
      
      * 'uapi-prep' of git://git.infradead.org/users/dhowells/linux-headers:
        UAPI: Fix conditional header installation handling (notably kvm_para.h on m68k)
        c6x: remove c6x signal.h
        UAPI: Split compound conditionals containing __KERNEL__ in Arm64
        UAPI: Fix the guards on various asm/unistd.h files
        c6x: make dsk6455 the default config

      Pull SLAB changes from Pekka Enberg:
       "New and noteworthy:
      
        * More SLAB allocator unification patches from Christoph Lameter and
          others.  This paves the way for slab memcg patches that hopefully
          will land in v3.8.
      
        * SLAB tracing improvements from Ezequiel Garcia.
      
        * Kernel tainting upon SLAB corruption from Dave Jones.
      
        * Miscellanous SLAB allocator bug fixes and improvements from various
          people."

      Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-3.7-arm-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen
      
      Pull ADM Xen support from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
      
        Features:
         * Allow a Linux guest to boot as initial domain and as normal guests
           on Xen on ARM (specifically ARMv7 with virtualized extensions).  PV
           console, block and network frontend/backends are working.
        Bug-fixes:
         * Fix compile linux-next fallout.
         * Fix PVHVM bootup crashing.
      
        The Xen-unstable hypervisor (so will be 4.3 in a ~6 months), supports
        ARMv7 platforms.
      
        The goal in implementing this architecture is to exploit the hardware
        as much as possible.  That means use as little as possible of PV
        operations (so no PV MMU) - and use existing PV drivers for I/Os
        (network, block, console, etc).  This is similar to how PVHVM guests
        operate in X86 platform nowadays - except that on ARM there is no need
        for QEMU.  The end result is that we share a lot of the generic Xen
        drivers and infrastructure.
      
        Details on how to compile/boot/etc are available at this Wiki:

        and this blog has links to a technical discussion/presentations on the
