Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
 "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

   - RME96: Add PCM sync support

   - HD-audio:

     * A few HDMI/DP audio updates (CA assignment fix, stream switching
       fix, Intel DP device list support)
     * Device specific fixes (ASUS/CXT HP mic support, Thinkpad mic
       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
     WM8904 based machines, Freescale S/PDIF and SSI AC'97, Renesas
     R-Car SoCs, Samsung Exynos5420 SoCs, Texas Instruments PCM1681 and
     PCM1792A and Wolfson Microelectronics WM8997

   - DT bindings for kirkwood and i.MX S/PDIF

   - Clean up and bug fixes: ssm2602, rt5640 and sgtl5000.

   - Core helpers for bitbanged AC'97 reset"

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"

        . 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 ]

          By David Ahern.

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

        . Introduce better formatting of syscall arguments, including so
          far beautifiers for mmap, madvise, syscall return values,
          by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

        . Handle HUGEPAGE defines in the mmap beautifier, 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.

        . Add --ignore-callees=<regex> option to collapse undesired parts
          of call graphs, by Greg Price.

        . Simplify symbol filtering by doing it at machine class level,

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"

Pull staging tree merge from Greg KH:
 "Here's the bit staging tree pull request for 3.12-rc1.

  Lots of staging driver updates, and fixes.  Lustre is finally enabled
  in the build, and lots of cleanup started happening in it.  There's a
  new wireless driver in here, and 2 new TTY drivers, which cause the
  overall lines added/removed to be quite large on the "added" side.

  The IIO driver updates are also coming through here, as they are tied
  to the staging iio drivers"

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

  Lots of tiny changes here fixing up the way sysfs attributes are
  created, to try to make drivers simpler, and fix a whole class race
  conditions with creations of device attributes after the device was
  announced to userspace.

  All the various pieces are acked by the different subsystem
  maintainers"

Pull first batch of s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
 "The most interesting change is that Martin converted s390 to generic
  hardirqs.  Which means that all current architectures have been
  converted and that CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS can be removed.  Martin
  prepared a patch for that already (see genirq branch), but the best
  time to merge that is probably at the end of the merge window / begin
  of -rc1.

  Another patch converts s390 to software referenced bits instead of
  relying on the reference bit in the storage key.  Therefore s390
  doesn't use storage keys anymore, except for kvm.

  Besides that we have improvements, cleanups and fixes in PCI, DASD and
  all over the place."
