       "Here's the big drivers/staging/ update for 3.14-rc1
      
        Lots and lots of cleanups, IIO driver updates are also mixed in here
        due to the subsystem still crossing staging and drivers/iio/, and the
        dwc2 driver is moved out of staging.  There's a new driver (rts5208),
        which ends up making us adding more lines than removing, but overall
        there was lots of work toward moving code out of here, which was good
      
        All of this has been in linux-next with no reported issues"

      Merge tag 'driver-core-3.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
      
      Pull driver core / sysfs patches from Greg KH:
       "Here's the big driver core and sysfs patch set for 3.14-rc1.
      
        There's a lot of work here moving sysfs logic out into a "kernfs" to
        allow other subsystems to also have a virtual filesystem with the same
        attributes of sysfs (handle device disconnect, dynamic creation /
        removal as needed / unneeded, etc)
      
        This is primarily being done for the cgroups filesystem, but the goal
        is to also move debugfs to it when it is ready, solving all of the
        known issues in that filesystem as well.  The code isn't completed
        yet, but all should be stable now (there is a big section that was
        reverted due to problems found when testing)
      
        There's also some other smaller fixes, and a driver core addition that
        allows for a "collection" of objects, that the DRM people will be
        using soon (it's in this tree to make merges after -rc1 easier)
      
        All of this has been in linux-next with no reported issues"

       "This includes the basic infrastructure for MPX (Memory Protection

        be pushed later this merge window by the KVM team.
      
        This includes moving the functionality in
        futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() into a new function in uaccess.h so it
        can be reused - this will be used by the final MPX patches.

      x86/intel/mpx: Remove unused LWP structure · 741e3902
      Ingo Molnar authored
      We don't support LWP yet, don't give the impression that we do:
      represent the LWP state as opaque 128 bytes, the way Linux sees it
      currently.

      Pull scheduler changes from Ingo Molnar:
      
       - Add the initial implementation of SCHED_DEADLINE support: a real-time
         scheduling policy where tasks that meet their deadlines and
         periodically execute their instances in less than their runtime quota
         see real-time scheduling and won't miss any of their deadlines.
         Tasks that go over their quota get delayed (Available to privileged
         users for now)
      
       - Clean up and fix preempt_enable_no_resched() abuse all around the
         tree
      
       - Do sched_clock() performance optimizations on x86 and elsewhere
      
       - Fix and improve auto-NUMA balancing
      
       - Fix and clean up the idle loop
      
       - Apply various cleanups and fixes
