Pull ARM changes from Russell King:

 - Perf updates from Will Deacon:
   - Support for Qualcomm Krait processors (run perf on your phone!)
   - Support for Cortex-A12 (run perf stat on your FPGA!)
   - Support for perf_sample_event_took, allowing us to automatically decrease
     the sample rate if we can't handle the PMU interrupts quickly enough
     (run perf record on your FPGA!).

 - Basic uprobes support from David Long:
     This patch series adds basic uprobes support to ARM. It is based on
     patches developed earlier by Rabin Vincent. That approach of adding
     hooks into the kprobes instruction parsing code was not well received.
     This approach separates the ARM instruction parsing code in kprobes out
     into a separate set of functions which can be used by both kprobes and
     uprobes. Both kprobes and uprobes then provide their own semantic action
     tables to process the results of the parsing.

 - ARMv7M (microcontroller) updates from Uwe Kleine-König

 - OMAP DMA updates (recently added Vinod's Ack even though they've been
   sitting in linux-next for a few months) to reduce the reliance of
   omap-dma on the code in arch/arm.

 - SA11x0 changes from Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov and Alexander Shiyan

 - Support for Cortex-A12 CPU

 - Align support for ARMv6 with ARMv7 so they can cooperate better in a
   single zImage.

 - Addition of first AT_HWCAP2 feature bits for ARMv8 crypto support.

 - Removal of IRQ_DISABLED from various ARM files

 - Improved efficiency of virt_to_page() for single zImage

 - Patch from Ulf Hansson to permit runtime PM callbacks to be available for
   AMBA devices for suspend/resume as well.

 - Finally kill asm/system.h on ARM.

2014-04-03T20:05:42+00:00

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot updates for cgroup:

   - The biggest one is cgroup's conversion to kernfs.  cgroup took
     after the long abandoned vfs-entangled sysfs implementation and
     made it even more convoluted over time.  cgroup's internal objects
     were fused with vfs objects which also brought in vfs locking and
     object lifetime rules.  Naturally, there are places where vfs rules
     don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock
     dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial
     number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is
     actually necessary, needed to be employed.

     After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking
     rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding
     of several nasty hacks and overall simplification.  This will also
     allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups
     which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting
     i_mutexes.

   - Various simplifications including dropping of module support,
     easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type
     handling and task_cg_lists optimization.

   - Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still
     a patchset away from being actually operational.  The dummy
     hierarchy is updated to serve as the default unified hierarchy.
     Controllers which aren't claimed by other hierarchies are
     associated with it, which BTW was what the dummy hierarchy was for
     anyway.

   - Various fixes from Li and others.  This pull request includes some
     patches to add missing slab.h to various subsystems.  This was
     triggered xattr.h include removal from cgroup.h.  cgroup.h
     indirectly got included a lot of files which brought in xattr.h
     which brought in slab.h.

  There are several merge commits - one to pull in kernfs updates
  necessary for converting cgroup (already in upstream through
  driver-core), others for interfering changes in the fixes branch"

uprobes: allow ignoring of probe hits

2014-03-18T20:39:34+00:00

Allow arches to decided to ignore a probe hit.  ARM will use this to
only call handlers if the conditions to execute a conditionally executed
instruction are satisfied.

perf: Optimize group_sched_in()

2014-02-27T11:43:26+00:00

Use the ctx pmu instead of the event pmu.

When a group leader is a software event but the group contains
hardware events, the entire group is on the hardware PMU.

Using the hardware PMU for the transaction makes most sense since
that's the most expensive one to programm (and software PMUs generally
don't have TXN support anyway).

perf: Remove redundant PMU assignment

2014-02-27T11:43:24+00:00

Currently perf_branch_stack_sched_in iterates over the set of pmus,
checks that each pmu has a flush_branch_stack callback, then overwrites
the pmu before calling the callback. This is either redundant or broken.

In systems with a single hw pmu, pmu == cpuctx->ctx.pmu, and thus the
assignment is redundant.

In systems with multiple hw pmus (i.e. multiple pmus with task_ctx_nr ==
perf_hw_context) the pmus share the same perf_cpu_context. Thus the
assignment can cause one of the pmus to flush its branch stack
repeatedly rather than causing each of the pmus to flush their branch
stacks. Worse still, if only some pmus have the callback the assignment
can result in a branch to NULL.

This patch removes the redundant assignment.

perf: Fix prototype of find_pmu_context()

2014-02-27T11:43:21+00:00

For some reason find_pmu_context() is defined as returning void * rather
than a __percpu struct perf_cpu_context *. As all the requisite types are
defined in advance there's no reason to keep it that way.

This patch modifies the prototype of pmu_find_context to return a
__percpu struct perf_cpu_context *.

perf: Fix hotplug splat

2014-02-27T11:38:03+00:00

Drew Richardson reported that he could make the kernel go *boom* when hotplugging
while having perf events active.

It turned out that when you have a group event, the code in
__perf_event_exit_context() fails to remove the group siblings from
the context.

We then proceed with destroying and freeing the event, and when you
re-plug the CPU and try and add another event to that CPU, things go
*boom* because you've still got dead entries there.

perf/x86: Warn to early_printk() in case irq_work is too slow

It will start spewing to early_printk() (which is a lot nicer to use
from NMI context too) when it fails to queue the IRQ-work because its
already enqueued.

It does have the false-positive for when two CPUs trigger the warn
concurrently, but that should be rare and some extra clutter on the
early printk shouldn't be a problem.

cgroup: drop @skip_css from cgroup_taskset_for_each()

2014-02-13T11:58:41+00:00

If !NULL, @skip_css makes cgroup_taskset_for_each() skip the matching
css.  The intention of the interface is to make it easy to skip css's
(cgroup_subsys_states) which already match the migration target;
however, this is entirely unnecessary as migration taskset doesn't
include tasks which are already in the target cgroup.  Drop @skip_css
from cgroup_taskset_for_each().
