Pull ARM soc cleanups, part 2 from Olof Johansson:
 "A shorter cleanup branch submitted separately due to dependencies with
  some of the previous topics.

  Major thing here is that the Broadcom bcmring platform is removed.
  It's an SoC that's used on some stationary VoIP platforms, and is in
  desperate need of some cleanup.  Broadcom came back and suggested that
  we just deprecate the platform for now, since they aren't going to
  spend the resources needed on cleaning it up, and there are no users
  of the platform directly from mainline."

Fix some conflicts due to BCM2835 getting added next to the removed
BCMRING, and removal of tegra files that had been converted to
devicetree.

Pull ARM soc-specific updates from Olof Johansson:
 "Most notable here is probably the addition of basic support for the
  BCM2835, an SoC used in some of the Roku 2 players as well as the
  much-hyped Raspberry Pi, cleaned up and contributed by Stephen Warren.
  It's still early days on mainline support, with just the basics
  working.  But it has to start somewhere!

  Beyond that there's some conversions of clock infrastructure on tegra
  to common clock, misc updates for several other platforms, and OMAP
  now has its own bus (under drivers/bus) to manage its devices through.

  This branch adds two new directories outside of arch/arm:
  drivers/irqchip for new irq controllers, and drivers/bus for the above
  OMAP bus.  It's expected that some of the other platforms will migrate
  parts of their platforms to those directories over time as well."

Pull CIFS updates from Steve French:
 "This patchset is the final section of the SMB2.1 support merge for
  cifs.ko.  It also includes improvements to the cifs socket handling
  from Jeff, and also fixes a few cifs bug fixes.  It adds SMB2 support
  for file and inode operations as well as moves some existing cifs code
  to use ops server struct of protocol specific callbacks.

  Most of this code is SMB2 specific.  When enabled SMB2.1 does pass
  various functional tests including most of the connectathon test
  suite, For SMB2.1, Connectathon test 4 and some related tests fail due
  to not updating mode bits remotely (cifsacl support where mode bits
  are approximated with the cifs acl is not enable for smb2), and test8
  (symlink) support is not completed for SMB2 yet (note that we will
  likely have a "Unix Extensions" eventually, at least for Samba, so in
  the long run posix locks won't have to be emulated when mounting Linux
  to Linux, but for most NAS and for Windows mounts posix lock emulation
  will still used for SMB2 in a similar fashion as we do for cifs).

  SMB2.1 dialect is supported.  Although additional fixes to enable smb2
  (the original smb2.02) dialect and to add various optional features of
  the smb3 dialect are expected to be added in the future as testing
  progresses, currently mounting with the "vers=2.1" is supported (in
  order to mount using SMB2.1 to servers like Samba 4, and Windows 7,
  Windows 2008R2)."

This file has turned out to be a pure write-only file that causes merge
conflicts and has no actual redeeming features.

There is never any reason to add stuff to this idiotic file.  Either
something isn't getting used, and you should just remove it, or there is
no excuse for removing it in the first place.  Just stop the idiocy.

It has also been the excuse for just plain bad behavior ("Hey, I don't
like xyz, so let's mark it for removal" followed by "Hey, look, it been
in feature-removal.txt for six months now, so we should remove it").

The recent bogus setitimer() ABI change request was just the most recent
example of pointless and incorrect mental masturbation involving this
file, and I'm tired of the silly and pointless conflicts in the file.

This removal was discussed during the recent kernel summit, and while
Steven Rostedt suggested we should just enter the file itself in the
feature-removal schedule (to see if anybody who edits the file actually
looks at it), that's cute but non-productive.

  perf/x86: Fix typo in uncore_pmu_to_box

Pull perf update from Ingo Molnar:
 "Lots of changes in this cycle as well, with hundreds of commits from
  over 30 contributors.  Most of the activity was on the tooling side.

  Higher level changes:

   - New 'perf kvm' analysis tool, from Xiao Guangrong.

   - New 'perf trace' system-wide tracing tool

   - uprobes fixes + cleanups from Oleg Nesterov.

   - Lots of patches to make perf build on Android out of box, from
     Irina Tirdea

   - Extend ftrace function tracing utility to be more dynamic for its
     users.  It allows for data passing to the callback functions, as
     well as reading regs as if a breakpoint were to trigger at function
     entry.

     The main goal of this patch series was to allow kprobes to use
     ftrace as an optimized probe point when a probe is placed on an
     ftrace nop.  With lots of help from Masami Hiramatsu, and going
     through lots of iterations, we finally came up with a good
     solution.

   - Add cpumask for uncore pmu, use it in 'stat', from Yan, Zheng.

   - Various tracing updates from Steve Rostedt

   - Clean up and improve 'perf sched' performance by elliminating lots
     of needless calls to libtraceevent.

   - Event group parsing support, from Jiri Olsa

   - UI/gtk refactorings and improvements from Namhyung Kim

   - Add support for non-tracepoint events in perf script python, from
     Feng Tang

   - Add --symbols to 'script', similar to the one in 'report', from
     Feng Tang.

  Infrastructure enhancements and fixes:

   - Convert the trace builtins to use the growing evsel/evlist
     tracepoint infrastructure, removing several open coded constructs
     like switch like series of strcmp to dispatch events, etc.
     Basically what had already been showcased in 'perf sched'.

   - Add evsel constructor for tracepoints, that uses libtraceevent just
     to parse the /format events file, use it in a new 'perf test' to
     make sure the libtraceevent format parsing regressions can be more
     readily caught.

   - Some strange errors were happening in some builds, but not on the
     next, reported by several people, problem was some parser related
     files, generated during the build, didn't had proper make deps, fix
     from Eric Sandeen.

   - Introduce struct and cache information about the environment where
     a perf.data file was captured, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Fix handling of unresolved samples when --symbols is used in
     'report', from Feng Tang.

   - Add union member access support to 'probe', from Hyeoncheol Lee.

   - Fixups to die() removal, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Render fixes for the TUI, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Don't enable annotation in non symbolic view, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Fix pipe mode in 'report', from Namhyung Kim.

   - Move related stats code from stat to util/, will be used by the
     'stat' kvm tool, from Xiao Guangrong.

   - Remove die()/exit() calls from several tools.

   - Resolve vdso callchains, from Jiri Olsa

   - Don't pass const char pointers to basename, so that we can
     unconditionally use libgen.h and thus avoid ifdef BIONIC lines,
     from David Ahern

   - Refactor hist formatting so that it can be reused with the GTK

   - .gitignore compiled python binaries, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Get rid of die() in more libtraceevent places, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Rename libtraceevent 'private' struct member to 'priv' so that it
     works in C++, from Steven Rostedt

   - Remove lots of exit()/die() calls from tools so that the main perf
     exit routine can take place, from David Ahern

   - Fix x86 build on x86-64, from David Ahern.

   - {int,str,rb}list fixes from Suzuki K Poulose

   - perf.data header fixes from Namhyung Kim

   - Allow user to indicate objdump path, needed in cross environments,
     from Maciek Borzecki

   - Fix hardware cache event name generation, fix from Jiri Olsa

   - Add round trip test for sw, hw and cache event names, catching the
     problem Jiri fixed, after Jiri's patch, the test passes
     successfully.

   - Clean target should do clean for lib/traceevent too, fix from David
     Ahern

   - Check the right variable for allocation failure, fix from Namhyung
     Kim

   - Set up evsel->tp_format regardless of evsel->name being set
     already, fix from Namhyung Kim

   - Oprofile fixes from Robert Richter.

   - Remove perf_event_attr needless version inflation, from Jiri Olsa

   - Introduce libtraceevent strerror like error reporting facility,
     from Namhyung Kim

   - Add pmu mappings to perf.data header and use event names from cmd
     line, from Robert Richter

   - Fix include order for bison/flex-generated C files, from Ben
     Hutchings

   - Build fixes and documentation corrections from David Ahern

   - Assorted cleanups from Robert Richter

   - Let O= makes handle relative paths, from Steven Rostedt

   - perf script python fixes, from Feng Tang.

   - Initial bash completion support, from Frederic Weisbecker

   - Allow building without libelf, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Support DWARF CFI based unwind to have callchains when %bp based
     unwinding is not possible, from Jiri Olsa.

   - Symbol resolution fixes, while fixing support PPC64 files with an
     .opt ELF section was the end goal, several fixes for code that
     handles all architectures and cleanups are included, from Cody
     Schafer.

   - Assorted fixes for Documentation and build in 32 bit, from Robert
     Richter

   - Cache the libtraceevent event_format associated to each evsel
     early, so that we avoid relookups, i.e.  calling pevent_find_event
     repeatedly when processing tracepoint events.

     [ This is to reduce the surface contact with libtraceevents and
        make clear what is that the perf tools needs from that lib: so
        far parsing the common and per event fields.  ]

   - Don't stop the build if the audit libraries are not installed, fix
     from Namhyung Kim.

   - Fix bfd.h/libbfd detection with recent binutils, from Markus
     Trippelsdorf.

   - Improve warning message when libunwind devel packages not present,
     from Jiri Olsa"
