Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 "A couple of features and a ton of bug-fixes.  There is also some
  maintership changes.  Jeremy is enjoying the full-time work at the
  startup and as much as he would love to help - he can't find the time.
  I have a bunch of other things that I promised to work on - paravirt
  diet, get SWIOTLB working everywhere, etc, but haven't been able to
  find the time.

  As such both David Vrabel and Boris Ostrovsky have graciously
  volunteered to help with the maintership role.  They will keep the lid
  on regressions, bug-fixes, etc.  I will be in the background to help -
  but eventually there will be less of me doing the Xen GIT pulls and
  more of them.  Stefano is still doing the ARM/ARM64 and will continue
  on doing so.

  Features:
   - Xen Trusted Platform Module (TPM) frontend driver - with the
     backend in MiniOS.
   - Scalability improvements in event channel.
   - Two extra Xen co-maintainers (David, Boris) and one going away (Jeremy)

  Bug-fixes:
   - Make the 1:1 mapping work during early bootup on selective regions.
   - Add scratch page to balloon driver to deal with unexpected code
     still holding on stale pages.
   - Allow NMIs on PV guests (64-bit only)
   - Remove unnecessary TLB flush in M2P code.
   - Fixes duplicate callbacks in Xen granttable code.
   - Fixes in PRIVCMD_MMAPBATCH ioctls to allow retries
   - Fix for events being lost due to rescheduling on different VCPUs.
   - More documentation"

 "New features for 3.12:

   - Added aggressive extent caching using the extent status tree.  This

     tree than if we had to keep the extent tree metadata blocks in the
     buffer cache.  This also improves Asynchronous I/O since it is it
     makes much less likely that we need to do metadata I/O to lookup
     the extent tree information.

   - Improve the recovery after corrupted allocation bitmaps are found
     when running in errors=ignore mode.

  less than the page size"

 "Changes are seen in a wide range of codes, mainly due to ASoC DAPM
  requirements; HD-audio shows a high peak in diffstat, it's just a
  removal of bunch of old static quirks.

  Some highlights:

   - HDPM: Updates for AIO/RayDAT support, TCO/sync support

       improvements, Chromebook fixes, STAC9228 Dell fixes)
     * Replace the all static quirks for AD codecs with the generic
       parser
     * WAKEEN support for handling irqs in the power saving mode

   - USB-audio: Clean up implicit fb handling and related codes

   - DAPM is now mandatory for ASoC CODEC drivers; all existing drivers
     have had some level of DAPM support added.  In addition, a lot of
     cleanups and improvements in DAPM.

   - Support for ASoC cross-platform compile test

   - New drivers and support for Analog Devices ADAU1702 and
     ADAU1401(a), Asahi Kasei Microdevices AK4554, Atmel AT91ASM9x5 and

Pull pin control changes from Linus Walleij:
 "Here is the bulk of pin control changes for the v3.12 series.  Most of
  the relevant information is in the tag.

  I merged in v3.11-rc7 last week to get rid of a largeish conflict
  within the sunxi (AllWinner) driver in linux-next and fix up the
  non-trivial merge the right way.  That driver had a rather large fix
  adding locking late in the release cycle.

  Overall the bulk changes this time is cleanups and refactorings and
  not much new features, which is nice.

   - Refactorings for generic pin config handling in the core.

   - Factor out a set of device tree utilities for use in all drivers,
     to parse and allocate maps from the device tree.

   - Some fixes to the core such as more nitpicky locking.

   - Pushed down config array iteration into the drivers.

     This patch is necessary for drivers that want to iterate over
     configs and pile up a stack of alterations to the same register(s),
     or if the driver wants to take a local spinlock when committing the
     configuration.

   - A new driver for the Texas Instruments Palmas PMIC by Laxman
     Dewangan.  This is used on the Tegra systems.

   - A major cleanup and modernization of the PFC (Super Hitachi and ARM
     SHmobile) pin controller and subdrivers.

   - Support for the A20 and A31 sunxi (AllWinner) SoCs.

   - A huge pile of fixes and cleanups: Axel Lin, Jingoo Han Dan
     Carpenter, Julia Lawall and Sachin Kamat did an excellent job here"

  utilize the above kernel side changes):

   - Lots of 'perf trace' enhancements:

        . Make 'perf trace' command line arguments consistent with
          'perf record', by David Ahern.

        . Allow specifying syscalls a la strace, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

        . Add --verbose and -o/--output options, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

        . Support ! in -e expressions, to filter a list of syscalls,
          by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

        . Arg formatting improvements to allow masking arguments in
          syscalls such as futex and open, where the some arguments are
          ignored and thus should not be printed depending on other args,
          by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

        . Beautify futex open, openat, open_by_handle_at, lseek and futex
          syscalls, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

        . Add option to analyze events in a file versus live, so that
          one can do:

           [root@zoo ~]# perf record -a -e raw_syscalls:* sleep 1
           [ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
           [ perf record: Captured and wrote 25.150 MB perf.data (~1098836 samples) ]
           [root@zoo ~]# perf trace -i perf.data -e futex --duration 1
              17.799 ( 1.020 ms): 7127 futex(uaddr: 0x7fff3f6c6674, op: 393, val: 1, utime: 0x7fff3f6c6470, ua
             113.344 (95.429 ms): 7127 futex(uaddr: 0x7fff3f6c6674, op: 393, val: 1, utime: 0x7fff3f6c6470, uaddr2: 0x7fff3f6c6648, val3: 4294967

           [root@zoo ~]#

          By David Ahern.

        . Honor target pid / tid options when analyzing a file, by David Ahern.

   - 'perf report/top' enhancements:

        . Do annotation using /proc/kcore and /proc/kallsyms when
          available, removing the forced need for a vmlinux file kernel
          assembly annotation. This also improves this use case because
          vmlinux has just the initial kernel image, not what is actually
          in use after various code patchings by things like alternatives.
          By Adrian Hunter.

        . Fix named threads support, by David Ahern.

        . Don't install scripting files files when perl/python support
          is disabled, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

   - 'perf test' enhancements:

        . Add various improvements and fixes to the "vmlinux matches
          kallsyms" 'perf test' entry, related to the /proc/kcore
          annotation feature. By Adrian Hunter.

        . Add sample parsing test, by Adrian Hunter.

        . Add test for reading object code, by Adrian Hunter.

        . List pmu events, by Andi Kleen.

   - 'perf diff' enhancements:

        . Add support for more than two files comparison, by Jiri Olsa.

   - 'perf sched' enhancements:

        . Various improvements, including removing reliance on some
          scheduler tracepoints that provide the same information as the
          PERF_RECORD_{FORK,EXIT} events. By David Ahern.

        . Remove odd build stall by moving a large struct initialization
          from a local variable to a global one, by Namhyung Kim.

   - 'perf stat' enhancements:

        . Add --initial-delay option to skip measuring for a defined
          startup phase, by Andi Kleen.

   - Generic perf tooling infrastructure/plumbing changes:

        . Tidy up sample parsing validation, by Adrian Hunter.

        . Fix up jobserver setup in libtraceevent Makefile.
          by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

        . Debug improvements, by Adrian Hunter.

        . Fix correlation of samples coming after PERF_RECORD_EXIT event,
          by David Ahern.

        . Improve robustness of the topology parsing code,
          by Stephane Eranian.

        . Add group leader sampling, that allows just one event in a group
          to sample while the other events have just its values read,
          by Jiri Olsa.

        . Add support for a new modifier "D", which requests that the
          event, or group of events, be pinned to the PMU.
          By Michael Ellerman.

        . Support callchain sorting based on addresses, by Andi Kleen

        . Prep work for multi perf data file storage, by Jiri Olsa.

        . libtraceevent cleanups, by Namhyung Kim.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on the cgroup front.  Most changes aren't visible
  to userland at all at this point and are laying foundation for the
  planned unified hierarchy.

   - The biggest change is decoupling the lifetime management of css
     (cgroup_subsys_state) from that of cgroup's.  Because controllers
     (cpu, memory, block and so on) will need to be dynamically enabled
     and disabled, css which is the association point between a cgroup
     and a controller may come and go dynamically across the lifetime of
     a cgroup.  Till now, css's were created when the associated cgroup
     was created and stayed till the cgroup got destroyed.

     Assumptions around this tight coupling permeated through cgroup
     core and controllers.  These assumptions are gradually removed,
     which consists bulk of patches, and css destruction path is
     completely decoupled from cgroup destruction path.  Note that
     decoupling of creation path is relatively easy on top of these
     changes and the patchset is pending for the next window.

   - cgroup has its own event mechanism cgroup.event_control, which is
     only used by memcg.  It is overly complex trying to achieve high
     flexibility whose benefits seem dubious at best.  Going forward,
     new events will simply generate file modified event and the
     existing mechanism is being made specific to memcg.  This pull
     request contains prepatory patches for such change.

   - Various fixes and cleanups"

   - Queued TRIM support, which enables sending TRIM to the device

     enabled for ahci (and likely to stay that way for the foreseeable

 1) ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) subsystem rework and introduction
    of Intel Thunderbolt support on systems that use ACPI for signalling
    Thunderbolt hotplug events.  This also should make ACPIPHP work in
    some cases in which it was known to have problems.  From
    Rafael J Wysocki, Mika Westerberg and Kirill A Shutemov.

 2) ACPI core code cleanups and dock station support cleanups from
    Jiang Liu and Rafael J Wysocki.

 3) Fixes for locking problems related to ACPI device hotplug from
    Rafael J Wysocki.

 4) ACPICA update to version 20130725 includig fixes, cleanups, support
    for more than 256 GPEs per GPE block and a change to make the ACPI
    PM Timer optional (we've seen systems without the PM Timer in the
    field already).  One of the fixes, related to the DeRefOf operator,
    is necessary to prevent some Windows 8 oriented AML from causing
    problems to happen.  From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, and Jung-uk Kim.

 5) Removal of the old and long deprecated /proc/acpi/event interface
    and related driver changes from Thomas Renninger.

 6) ACPI and Xen changes to make the reduced hardware sleep work with
    the latter from Ben Guthro.

 7) ACPI video driver cleanups and a blacklist of systems that should
    not tell the BIOS that they are compatible with Windows 8 (or ACPI
    backlight and possibly other things will not work on them).  From
    Felipe Contreras.

 8) Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups from Aaron Lu, Hanjun Guo,
    Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan, Lan Tianyu, Sachin Kamat, Tang Chen,
    Toshi Kani, and Wei Yongjun.

 9) cpufreq ondemand governor target frequency selection change to
    reduce oscillations between min and max frequencies (essentially,
    it causes the governor to choose target frequencies proportional
    to load) from Stratos Karafotis.

10) cpufreq fixes allowing sysfs attributes file permissions to be
    preserved over suspend/resume cycles Srivatsa S Bhat.

11) Removal of Device Tree parsing for CPU device nodes from multiple
    cpufreq drivers that required some changes related to
    of_get_cpu_node() to be made in a few architectures and in the
    driver core.  From Sudeep KarkadaNagesha.

12) cpufreq core fixes and cleanups related to mutual exclusion and
    driver module references from Viresh Kumar, Lukasz Majewski and
    Rafael J Wysocki.

13) Assorted cpufreq fixes and cleanups from Amit Daniel Kachhap,
    Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz, Hanjun Guo, Jingoo Han, Joseph Lo,
    Julia Lawall, Li Zhong, Mark Brown, Sascha Hauer, Stephen Boyd,
    Stratos Karafotis, and Viresh Kumar.

14) Fixes to prevent race conditions in coupled cpuidle from happening
    from Colin Cross.

15) cpuidle core fixes and cleanups from Daniel Lezcano and
    Tuukka Tikkanen.

16) Assorted cpuidle fixes and cleanups from Daniel Lezcano,
    Geert Uytterhoeven, Jingoo Han, Julia Lawall, Linus Walleij,
    and Sahara.

17) System sleep tracing changes from Todd E Brandt and Shuah Khan.

18) PNP subsystem conversion to using struct dev_pm_ops for power
    management from Shuah Khan.

Pull SCSI target fixes from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "The first patch is to address a long standing issue where INQUIRY
  vendor + model response data was not correctly padded with ASCII
  spaces, causing MSFT and Falconstor multipath stacks to not function
  with our LUNs.

  The second -> forth patches are additional iscsi-target regression
  fixes for the post >= v3.10 iser-target changes.  The second and third
  are failure cases that have appeared during further testing, and the
  forth is only reproducible with malformed NOP packets.

  The fifth patch is a v3.11 specific regression caused by a recent
  optimization that showed up during WRITE I/O failure testing.

  I'll be sending Patch #1 and Patch #5 to Greg-KH separately for
  stable"

Pull first round of SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "This patch set is a set of driver updates (ufs, zfcp, lpfc, mpt2/3sas,
  qla4xxx, qla2xxx [adding support for ISP8044 + other things]).

  We also have a new driver: esas2r which has a number of static checker
  problems, but which I expect to resolve over the -rc course of 3.12
  under the new driver exception.

  We also have the error return that were discussed at LSF"

Pull tty/serial driver patches from Greg KH:
 "Here's the big tty/serial driver pull request for 3.12-rc1.

  Lots of n_tty reworks to resolve some very long-standing issues,
  removing the 3-4 different locks that were taken for every character.
  This code has been beaten on for a long time in linux-next with no
  reported regressions.

  Other than that, a range of serial and tty driver updates and
  revisions.  Full details in the shortlog"
