      Pull sparc updates from David Miller:

 1) Add sparc RAM output to /proc/iomem, from Bob Picco.

 2) Allow seeks on /dev/mdesc, from Khalid Aziz.

 3) Cleanup sparc64 I/O accessors, from Sam Ravnborg.

 4) If update_mmu_cache{,_pmd}() is called with an not-valid mapping, do
    not insert it into the TLB miss hash tables otherwise we'll
    livelock.  Based upon work by Christopher Alexander Tobias Schulze.

 5) Fix BREAK detection in sunsab driver when no actual characters are
    pending, from Christopher Alexander Tobias Schulze.

 6) Because we have modules --> openfirmware --> vmalloc ordering of
    virtual memory, the lazy VMAP TLB flusher can cons up an invocation
    of flush_tlb_kernel_range() that covers the openfirmware address
    range.  Unfortunately this will flush out the firmware's locked TLB
    mapping which causes all kinds of trouble.  Just split up the flush
    request if this happens, but in the long term the lazy VMAP flusher
    should probably be made a little bit smarter.

    Based upon work by Christopher Alexander Tobias Schulze.

      Pull networking updates from David Miller:
 "Highlights:

   1) Steady transitioning of the BPF instructure to a generic spot so
      all kernel subsystems can make use of it, from Alexei Starovoitov.

   2) SFC driver supports busy polling, from Alexandre Rames.

   3) Take advantage of hash table in UDP multicast delivery, from David
      Held.

   4) Lighten locking, in particular by getting rid of the LRU lists, in
      inet frag handling.  From Florian Westphal.

   5) Add support for various RFC6458 control messages in SCTP, from
      Geir Ola Vaagland.

   6) Allow to filter bridge forwarding database dumps by device, from
      Jamal Hadi Salim.

   7) virtio-net also now supports busy polling, from Jason Wang.

   8) Some low level optimization tweaks in pktgen from Jesper Dangaard
      Brouer.

   9) Add support for ipv6 address generation modes, so that userland
      can have some input into the process.  From Jiri Pirko.

  10) Consolidate common TCP connection request code in ipv4 and ipv6,
      from Octavian Purdila.

  11) New ARP packet logger in netfilter, from Pablo Neira Ayuso.

  12) Generic resizable RCU hash table, with intial users in netlink and
      nftables.  From Thomas Graf.

  13) Maintain a name assignment type so that userspace can see where a
      network device name came from (enumerated by kernel, assigned
      explicitly by userspace, etc.) From Tom Gundersen.

  14) Automatic flow label generation on transmit in ipv6, from Tom
      Herbert.

  15) New packet timestamping facilities from Willem de Bruijn, meant to
      assist in measuring latencies going into/out-of the packet
      scheduler, latency from TCP data transmission to ACK, etc"

Two ipv6_table_template[] additions overlap, so the index
of the ipv6_table[x] assignments needed to be adjusted.

In the drivers/net/Makefile case, we've gotten rid of the
garbage whereby we had to list every single USB networking
driver in the top-level Makefile, there is just one
"USB_NETWORKING" that guards everything.

      Pull timer and time updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A rather large update of timers, timekeeping & co

   - Core timekeeping code is year-2038 safe now for 32bit machines.
     Now we just need to fix all in kernel users and the gazillion of
     user space interfaces which rely on timespec/timeval :)

   - Better cache layout for the timekeeping internal data structures.

   - Proper nanosecond based interfaces for in kernel users.

   - Tree wide cleanup of code which wants nanoseconds but does hoops
     and loops to convert back and forth from timespecs.  Some of it
     definitely belongs into the ugly code museum.

   - Consolidation of the timekeeping interface zoo.

   - A fast NMI safe accessor to clock monotonic for tracing.  This is a
     long standing request to support correlated user/kernel space
     traces.  With proper NTP frequency correction it's also suitable
     for correlation of traces accross separate machines.

   - Checkpoint/restart support for timerfd.

   - A few NOHZ[_FULL] improvements in the [hr]timer code.

   - Code move from kernel to kernel/time of all time* related code.

   - New clocksource/event drivers from the ARM universe.  I'm really
     impressed that despite an architected timer in the newer chips SoC
     manufacturers insist on inventing new and differently broken SoC
     specific timers.

[ Ed. "Impressed"? I don't think that word means what you think it means ]

   - Another round of code move from arch to drivers.  Looks like most
     of the legacy mess in ARM regarding timers is sorted out except for
     a few obnoxious strongholds.

   - The usual updates and fixlets all over the place"

      x86: MCE: Add raw_lock conversion again · ed5c41d3
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      Commit ea431643 ("x86/mce: Fix CMCI preemption bugs") breaks RT by
the completely unrelated conversion of the cmci_discover_lock to a
regular (non raw) spinlock.  This lock was annotated in commit
59d958d2 ("locking, x86: mce: Annotate cmci_discover_lock as raw")
with a proper explanation why.

The argument for converting the lock back to a regular spinlock was:

 - it does percpu ops without disabling preemption. Preemption is not
   disabled due to the mistaken use of a raw spinlock.

Which is complete nonsense.  The raw_spinlock is disabling preemption in
the same way as a regular spinlock.  In mainline spinlock maps to
raw_spinlock, in RT spinlock becomes a "sleeping" lock.

raw_spinlock has on RT exactly the same semantics as in mainline.  And
because this lock is taken in non preemptible context it must be raw on
RT.

Undo the locking brainfart.
