      Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
       "This patch set contains the main portion of the changes for 3.18 in
        regard to the s390 architecture.  It is a bit bigger than usual,
        mainly because of a new driver and the vector extension patches.
      
        The interesting bits are:
         - Quite a bit of work on the tracing front.  Uprobes is enabled and
           the ftrace code is reworked to get some of the lost performance
           back if CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled.
         - To improve boot time with CONFIG_DEBIG_PAGEALLOC, support for the
           IPTE range facility is added.
         - The rwlock code is re-factored to improve writer fairness and to be
           able to use the interlocked-access instructions.
         - The kernel part for the support of the vector extension is added.
         - The device driver to access the CD/DVD on the HMC is added, this
           will hopefully come in handy to improve the installation process.
         - Add support for control-unit initiated reconfiguration.
         - The crypto device driver is enhanced to enable the additional AP
           domains and to allow the new crypto hardware to be used.
         - Bug fixes"

      alloc_bootmem and related functions never return NULL. Thus a NULL

      um: delete unnecessary bootmem struct page array · 9e6a57d2
      Honggang Li authored
      1) uml kernel bootmem managed through bootmem_data->node_bootmem_map,
      not the struct page array, so the array is unnecessary.
      
      2) the bootmem struct page array has been pointed by a *local* pointer,
      struct page *map, in init_maps function. The array can be accessed only
      in init_maps's scope. As a result, uml kernel wastes about 1% of total
      memory.

      Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
       "Kernel side updates:
      
         - Fix and enhance poll support (Jiri Olsa)
      
         - Re-enable inheritance optimization (Jiri Olsa)
      
         - Enhance Intel memory events support (Stephane Eranian)
      
         - Refactor the Intel uncore driver to be more maintainable (Zheng
           Yan)
      
         - Enhance and fix Intel CPU and uncore PMU drivers (Peter Zijlstra,
           Andi Kleen)
      
         - [ plus various smaller fixes/cleanups ]
      
        User visible tooling updates:
      
         - Add +field argument support for --field option, so that one can add
           fields to the default list of fields to show, ie now one can just
           do:
      
               perf report --fields +pid
      
           And the pid will appear in addition to the default fields (Jiri
           Olsa)
      
         - Add +field argument support for --sort option (Jiri Olsa)
      
         - Honour -w in the report tools (report, top), allowing to specify
           the widths for the histogram entries columns (Namhyung Kim)
      
         - Properly show submicrosecond times in 'perf kvm stat' (Christian
           Borntraeger)
      
         - Add beautifier for mremap flags param in 'trace' (Alex Snast)
      
         - perf script: Allow callchains if any event samples them
      
         - Don't truncate Intel style addresses in 'annotate' (Alex Converse)
      
         - Allow profiling when kptr_restrict == 1 for non root users, kernel
           samples will just remain unresolved (Andi Kleen)
      
         - Allow configuring default options for callchains in config file
           (Namhyung Kim)
      
         - Support operations for shared futexes.  (Davidlohr Bueso)
      
         - "perf kvm stat report" improvements by Alexander Yarygin:
             -  Save pid string in opts.target.pid
             -  Enable the target.system_wide flag
             -  Unify the title bar output
      
         - [ plus lots of other fixes and small improvements.  ]
      
        Tooling infrastructure changes:
      
         - Refactor unit and scale function parameters for PMU parsing
           routines (Matt Fleming)
      
         - Improve DSO long names lookup with rbtree, resulting in great
           speedup for workloads with lots of DSOs (Waiman Long)
      
         - We were not handling POLLHUP notifications for event file
           descriptors
      
           Fix it by filtering entries in the events file descriptor array
           after poll() returns, refcounting mmaps so that when the last fd
           pointing to a perf mmap goes away we do the unmap (Arnaldo Carvalho
           de Melo)
      
         - Intel PT prep work, from Adrian Hunter, including:
             - Let a user specify a PMU event without any config terms
             - Add perf-with-kcore script
             - Let default config be defined for a PMU
             - Add perf_pmu__scan_file()
             - Add a 'perf test' for tracking with sched_switch
             - Add 'flush' callback to scripting API
      
         - Use ring buffer consume method to look like other tools (Arnaldo
           Carvalho de Melo)
      
         - hists browser (used in top and report) refactorings, getting rid of
           unused variables and reducing source code size by handling similar
           cases in a fewer functions (Namhyung Kim).
      
         - Replace thread unsafe strerror() with strerror_r() accross the
           whole tools/perf/ tree (Masami Hiramatsu)
      
         - Rename ordered_samples to ordered_events and allow setting a queue
           size for ordering events (Jiri Olsa)
      
         - [ plus lots of fixes, cleanups and other improvements ]"
