      Merge block/IO core bits from Jens Axboe:
       "This is a bit bigger on the core side than usual, but that is purely
        because we decided to hold off on parts of Tejun's submission on 3.4
        to give it a bit more time to simmer.  As a consequence, it's seen a
        long cycle in for-next.
      
        It contains:
      
         - Bug fix from Dan, wrong locking type.
         - Relax splice gifting restriction from Eric.
         - A ton of updates from Tejun, primarily for blkcg.  This improves
           the code a lot, making the API nicer and cleaner, and also includes
           fixes for how we handle and tie policies and re-activate on
           switches.  The changes also include generic bug fixes.
         - A simple fix from Vivek, along with a fix for doing proper delayed
           allocation of the blkcg stats."
      
      Fix up annoying conflict just due to different merge resolution in

      mm: fix vma_resv_map() NULL pointer · 4523e145
      Dave Hansen authored
      hugetlb_reserve_pages() can be used for either normal file-backed
      hugetlbfs mappings, or MAP_HUGETLB.  In the MAP_HUGETLB, semi-anonymous
      mode, there is not a VMA around.  The new call to resv_map_put() assumed
      that there was, and resulted in a NULL pointer dereference:

      This was reported by Dave Jones, but was reproducible with the
      libhugetlbfs test cases, so shame on me for not running them in the
      first place.
      
      With this, the oops is gone, and the output of libhugetlbfs's
      run_tests.py is identical to plain 3.4 again.

      Merge branch 'x86-trampoline-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip · 731a7378
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull x86 trampoline rework from H. Peter Anvin:
       "This code reworks all the "trampoline"/"realmode" code (various bits
        that need to live in the first megabyte of memory, most but not all of
        which runs in real mode at some point) in the kernel into a single
        object.  The main reason for doing this is that it eliminates the last
        place in the kernel where we needed pages to be mapped RWX.  This code
        separates all that code into proper R/RW/RX pages."
      
      Fix up conflicts in arch/x86/kernel/Makefile (mca removed next to reboot
      code), and arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c (reboot code moved around in one
      branch, modified in this one), and arch/x86/tools/relocs.c (mostly same
      code came in earlier due to working around the ld bugs just before the
      3.4 release).

      Anvin.

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull EDAC internal API changes from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
       "This changeset is the first part of a series of patches that fixes the
        EDAC sybsystem.  On this set, it changes the Kernel EDAC API in order
        to properly represent the Intel i3/i5/i7, Xeon 3xxx/5xxx/7xxx, and
        Intel E5-xxxx memory controllers.
      
        The EDAC core used to assume that:
      
             - the DRAM chip select pin is directly accessed by the memory
               controller
      
             - when multiple channels are used, they're all filled with the
               same type of memory.
      
        None of the above premises is true on Intel memory controllers since
        2002, when RAMBUS and FB-DIMMs were introduced, and Advanced Memory
        Buffer or by some similar technologies hides the direct access to the
        DRAM pins.
      
        So, the existing drivers for those chipsets had to lie to the EDAC
        core, in general telling that just one channel is filled.  That
        produces some hard to understand error messages like:
      
             EDAC MC0: CE row 3, channel 0, label "DIMM1": 1 Unknown error(s): memory read error on FATAL area : cpu=0 Err=0008:00c2 (ch=2), addr = 0xad1f73480 => socket=0, Channel=0(mask=2), rank=1
      
        The location information there (row3 channel 0) is completely bogus:
        it has no physical meaning, and are just some random values that the
        driver uses to talk with the EDAC core.  The error actually happened
        at CPU socket 0, channel 0, slot 1, but this is not reported anywhere,
        as the EDAC core doesn't know anything about the memory layout.  So,
        only advanced users that know how the EDAC driver works and that tests
        their systems to see how DIMMs are mapped can actually benefit for
        such error logs.
      
        This patch series fixes the error report logic, in order to allow the
        EDAC to expose the memory architecture used by them to the EDAC core.
        So, as the EDAC core now understands how the memory is organized, it
        can provide an useful report:
      
             EDAC MC0: CE memory read error on DIMM1 (channel:0 slot:1 page:0x364b1b offset:0x600 grain:32 syndrome:0x0 - count:1 area:DRAM err_code:0001:0090 socket:0 channel_mask:1 rank:4)
      
        The location of the DIMM where the error happened is reported by "MC0"
        (cpu socket #0), at "channel:0 slot:1" location, and matches the
        physical location of the DIMM.
      
        There are two remaining issues not covered by this patch series:
      
             - The EDAC sysfs API will still report bogus values.  So,
               userspace tools like edac-utils will still use the bogus data;
      
             - Add a new tracepoint-based way to get the binary information
               about the errors.
      
        Those are on a second series of patches (also at -next), but will
        probably miss the train for 3.5, due to the slow review process."

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
       "The whole series has been sitting in -next for quite a while with no
        complaints.  The last change to the series was before the weekend the
        removal of an SPI patch which Grant - even though previously acked by
        himself - appeared to raise objections.  So I removed it until the
        situation is clarified.  Other than that all the patches have the acks
        from their respective maintainers, all MIPS and x86 defconfigs are
        building fine and I'm not aware of any problems introduced by this
        series.
      
        Among the key features for this patch series is a sizable patchset for
        Lantiq which among other things introduces support for Lantiq's
        flagship product, the FALCON SOC.  It also means that the opensource
        developers behind this patchset have overtaken Lantiq's competing
        inhouse development team that was working behind closed doors.
      
        Less noteworthy the ath79 patchset which adds support for a few more
        chip variants, cleanups and fixes.  Finally the usual dose of tweaking
        of generic code."
      
      Fix up trivial conflicts in arch/mips/lantiq/xway/gpio_{ebu,stp}.c where
      printk spelling fixes clashed with file move and eventual removal of the
