Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
- More work on DT support for various platforms
- Various fixes that were to late to make it straight into 3.9
- Improved platform support, in particular the Netlogic XLR and
BCM63xx, and the SEAD3 and Malta eval boards.- Support for several Ralink SOC families.
- Complete support for the microMIPS ASE which basically reencodes the
existing MIPS32/MIPS64 ISA to use non-constant size instructions.- Some fallout from LTO work which remove old cruft and will generally
make the MIPS kernel easier to maintain and resistant to compiler
optimization, even in absence of LTO.- KVM support. While MIPS has announced hardware virtualization
extensions this KVM extension uses trap and emulate mode for
virtualization of MIPS32. More KVM work to add support for VZ
hardware virtualizaiton extensions and MIPS64 will probably already
be merged for 3.11.Most of this has been sitting in -next for a long time. All defconfigs
have been build or run time tested except three for which fixes are being
sent by other maintainers.Semantic conflict with kvm updates done as per Ralf

Pull ARM SoC fixes and straggler patches from Olof Johansson:
"A collection of fixes for fall out from 3.10 merge window, some build
fixes and warning cleanups and a small handful of patches that were
small and contained and made sense to still include in 3.10 (some of
these have also been in -next since the merge window opened).Largest continous series is for OMAP, but there's a handful for other
platforms.For i.MX, one of the patches are framebuffer fixups due to fallout
during the merge window, and the other removes some stale and broken
code."* tag 'fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: (34 commits)

Pull btrfs update from Chris Mason:
"These are mostly fixes. The biggest exceptions are Josef's skinny
extents and Jan Schmidt's code to rebuild our quota indexes if they
get out of sync (or you enable quotas on an existing filesystem).The skinny extents are off by default because they are a new variation
on the extent allocation tree format. btrfstune -x enables them, and
the new format makes the extent allocation tree about 30% smaller.I rebased this a few days ago to rework Dave Sterba's crc checks on
the super block, but almost all of these go back to rc6, since I
though 3.9 was due any minute.The biggest missing fix is the tracepoint bug that was hit late in
3.9. I ran into problems with that in overnight testing and I'm still
tracking it down. I'll definitely have that fixed for rc2."* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-btrfs: (101 commits)

- A large rotorooting of the AIO code. Allegedly to improve
performance but I don't really have good performance numbers (I might
have lost the email) and I can't raise Kent today. I held this out
of 3.9 and we could give it another cycle if it's all too late/scary.I ended up taking only the first two thirds of the AIO rotorooting. I
left the percpu parts and the batch completion for later. - Linus* emailed patches from Andrew Morton : (33 commits)

Pull late ARM Exynos multiplatform changes from Arnd Bergmann:
"These continue the multiplatform support for exynos, adding support
for building most of the essential drivers (clocksource, clk, irqchip)

really easy to add full multiplatform exynos support in 3.11, although
we don't yet enable it for 3.10.The changes were not included in the earlier multiplatform series in
order to avoid clashes with the other Exynos updates.This also includes work from Tomasz Figa to fix the pwm clocksource

Pull ARM SoC platform updates (part 3) from Arnd Bergmann:
"This is the third and smallest of the SoC specific updates. Changes
include:- SMP support for the Xilinx zynq platform
- Smaller imx changes
- LPAE support for mvebu
- Moving the orion5x, kirkwood, dove and mvebu platforms to a common
"mbus" driver for their internal devices.It would be good to get feedback on the location of the "mbus" driver.
Since this is used on multiple platforms may potentially get shared
with other architectures (powerpc and arm64), it was moved to

Pull 'full dynticks' support from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree from Frederic Weisbecker adds a new, (exciting! :-) core
kernel feature to the timer and scheduler subsystems: 'full dynticks',
or CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y.This feature extends the nohz variable-size timer tick feature from
idle to busy CPUs (running at most one task) as well, potentially
reducing the number of timer interrupts significantly.This feature got motivated by real-time folks and the -rt tree, but
the general utility and motivation of full-dynticks runs wider than
that:- HPC workloads get faster: CPUs running a single task should be able
to utilize a maximum amount of CPU power. A periodic timer tick at
HZ=1000 can cause a constant overhead of up to 1.0%. This feature
removes that overhead - and speeds up the system by 0.5%-1.0% on
typical distro configs even on modern systems.- Real-time workload latency reduction: CPUs running critical tasks
should experience as little jitter as possible. The last remaining
source of kernel-related jitter was the periodic timer tick.- A single task executing on a CPU is a pretty common situation,
especially with an increasing number of cores/CPUs, so this feature
helps desktop and mobile workloads as well.The cost of the feature is mainly related to increased timer
reprogramming overhead when a CPU switches its tick period, and thus
slightly longer to-idle and from-idle latency.Configuration-wise a third mode of operation is added to the existing
two NOHZ kconfig modes:- CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC: [formerly !CONFIG_NO_HZ], now explicitly named
as a config option. This is the traditional Linux periodic tick
design: there's a HZ tick going on all the time, regardless of
whether a CPU is idle or not.- CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE: [formerly CONFIG_NO_HZ=y], this turns off the
periodic tick when a CPU enters idle mode.- CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL: this new mode, in addition to turning off the
tick when a CPU is idle, also slows the tick down to 1 Hz (one
timer interrupt per second) when only a single task is running on a
CPU.The .config behavior is compatible: existing !CONFIG_NO_HZ and
CONFIG_NO_HZ=y settings get translated to the new values, without the
user having to configure anything. CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is turned off by
default.This feature is based on a lot of infrastructure work that has been
steadily going upstream in the last 2-3 cycles: related RCU support
and non-periodic cputime support in particular is upstream already.This tree adds the final pieces and activates the feature. The pull
request is marked RFC because:- it's marked 64-bit only at the moment - the 32-bit support patch is
small but did not get ready in time.- it has a number of fresh commits that came in after the merge
window. The overwhelming majority of commits are from before the
merge window, but still some aspects of the tree are fresh and so I
marked it RFC.- it's a pretty wide-reaching feature with lots of effects - and
while the components have been in testing for some time, the full
combination is still not very widely used. That it's default-off
should reduce its regression abilities and obviously there are no
known regressions with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y enabled either.- the feature is not completely idempotent: there is no 100%
equivalent replacement for a periodic scheduler/timer tick. In
particular there's ongoing work to map out and reduce its effects
on scheduler load-balancing and statistics. This should not impact
correctness though, there are no known regressions related to this
feature at this point.- it's a pretty ambitious feature that with time will likely be
enabled by most Linux distros, and we'd like you to make input on
its design/implementation, if you dislike some aspect we missed.
Without flaming us to crisp! :-)Future plans:
- there's ongoing work to reduce 1Hz to 0Hz, to essentially shut off
the periodic tick altogether when there's a single busy task on a
CPU. We'd first like 1 Hz to be exposed more widely before we go
for the 0 Hz target though.- once we reach 0 Hz we can remove the periodic tick assumption from
nr_running>=2 as well, by essentially interrupting busy tasks only
as frequently as the sched_latency constraints require us to do -
once every 4-40 msecs, depending on nr_running.I am personally leaning towards biting the bullet and doing this in
v3.10, like the -rt tree this effort has been going on for too long -
but the final word is up to you as usual.More technical details can be found in Documentation/timers/NO_HZ.txt"
