  • Pull ASoC sound updates from Mark Brown:
    "Takashi is travelling at the minute and it'd be good to get the
    MAINTAINERS update in here merged so sending directly.

    As well as the usual driver specifics we've got a couple of core fixes
    here, one fixing capabilities for unidirectional streams and the other
    fixing suspend while audio streams are active.

    The suspend fix is a little involved but mostly as a result of
    removing some special casing that was doing the wrong thing."

    9) vxlan driver doesn't update 'used' field of fdb entries when it
    should, from Sridhar Samudrala.

  • Pablo Neira Ayuso says:

    ====================
    The following patchset contains three Netfilter fixes and update
    for the MAINTAINER file for your net tree, they are:

    * Fix crash if nf_log_packet is called from conntrack, in that case
    both interfaces are NULL, from Hans Schillstrom. This bug introduced
    with the logging netns support in the previous merge window.

    * Fix compilation of nf_log and nf_queue without CONFIG_PROC_FS,
    from myself. This bug was introduced in the previous merge window
    with the new netns support for the netfilter logging infrastructure.

    * Fix possible crash in xt_TCPOPTSTRIP due to missing sanity
    checkings to validate that the TCP header is well-formed, from
    myself. I can find this bug in 2.6.25, probably it's been there
    since the beginning. I'll pass this to -stable.

    * Update MAINTAINER file to point to new nf trees at git.kernel.org,
    remove Harald and use M: instead of P: (now obsolete tag) to
    keep Jozsef in the list of people.

    Please, consider pulling this. Thanks!

  • Pull thermal management update from Zhang Rui:
    "The most important one is to build thermal core and governor and cpu
    cooling code into one module. This fixes a regression that thermal
    core does not work if it is built as module, since 3.7. I'll backport
    them to stable kernel once those changes are in upstream.

    The largest batch is the thermal kernel-doc & coding style
    updates/cleanups from Eduardo.

    Highlights:

    - build all thermal framework code into one module to fix a
    regression that thermal does not work if it is built as module.

    - Marvell Armada 370/XP thermal sensor driver

    - thermal core/cpu cooling kernel-doc & coding style updates and

    - Introduce MMC_CAP2_NO_PRESCAN_POWERUP to allow skipping

    happened, for performance (faster boot time) reasons.
    - Fix a bit width test failure that resulted in old eMMC cards being
    put into 1-bit mode when 4-bit mode was available.
    - Expose fwrev/hwrev for MMCv4 parts.
    - Improve card removal logic in the case where the card's removed
    slowly; we were missing card removal events if the card retained
    contact with the slot pads for long enough to reply to a CMD13
    while being removed.

  • Pull i2c changes from Wolfram Sang:

    - an arbitration driver. While the driver is quite simple, it caused
    discussion if we need additional arbitration on top of the one
    specified in the I2C standard. Conclusion is that I accept a few
    generic mechanisms, but not very specific ones.

    - the core lost the detach_adapter() call. It has no users anymore and
    was in the way for other cleanups. attach_adapter() is sadly still
    there since there are users waiting to be converted.

    - the core gained a bus recovery infrastructure. I2C defines a way to
    recover if the data line is stalled. This mechanism is now in the
    core and drivers can now pass some data to make use of it.

    - bigger driver cleanups for designware, s3c2410

    - removing superfluous refcounting from drivers

    - removing Ben Dooks as second maintainer due to inactivity. Thanks
    for all your work so far, Ben!

  • Pull x86/efi changes from Peter Anvin:
    "The bulk of these changes are cleaning up the efivars handling and
    breaking it up into a tree of files. There are a number of fixes as
    well.

    The entire changeset is pretty big, but most of it is code movement.

    Several of these commits are quite new; the history got very messed up
    due to a mismerge with the urgent changes for rc8 which completely
    broke IA64, and so Ingo requested that we rebase it to straighten it
    out."

  • Pull networking updates from David Miller:
    "Highlights (1721 non-merge commits, this has to be a record of some
    sort):

    1) Add 'random' mode to team driver, from Jiri Pirko and Eric
    Dumazet.

    2) Make it so that any driver that supports configuration of multiple
    MAC addresses can provide the forwarding database add and del
    calls by providing a default implementation and hooking that up if
    the driver doesn't have an explicit set of handlers. From Vlad
    Yasevich.

    3) Support GSO segmentation over tunnels and other encapsulating
    devices such as VXLAN, from Pravin B Shelar.

    5) Implement Tail Loss Probe (TLP) detection in TCP, from Nandita
    Dukkipati.

    6) In the PHY layer, allow supporting wake-on-lan in situations where
    the PHY registers have to be written for it to be configured.

    Use it to support wake-on-lan in mv643xx_eth.

    From Michael Stapelberg.

    7) Significantly improve firewire IPV6 support, from YOSHIFUJI
    Hideaki.

    8) Allow multiple packets to be sent in a single transmission using
    network coding in batman-adv, from Martin Hundebøll.

    9) Add support for T5 cxgb4 chips, from Santosh Rastapur.

    10) Generalize the VXLAN forwarding tables so that there is more
    flexibility in configurating various aspects of the endpoints.
    From David Stevens.

    11) Support RSS and TSO in hardware over GRE tunnels in bxn2x driver,
    from Dmitry Kravkov.

    12) Zero copy support in nfnelink_queue, from Eric Dumazet and Pablo
    Neira Ayuso.

    13) Start adding networking selftests.

    14) In situations of overload on the same AF_PACKET fanout socket, or
    per-cpu packet receive queue, minimize drop by distributing the
    load to other cpus/fanouts. From Willem de Bruijn and Eric
    Dumazet.

    15) Add support for new payload offset BPF instruction, from Daniel
    Borkmann.

    16) Convert several drivers over to mdoule_platform_driver(), from
    Sachin Kamat.

    17) Provide a minimal BPF JIT image disassembler userspace tool, from
    Daniel Borkmann.

    18) Rewrite F-RTO implementation in TCP to match the final
    specification of it in RFC4138 and RFC5682. From Yuchung Cheng.

    19) Provide netlink socket diag of netlink sockets ("Yo dawg, I hear
    you like netlink, so I implemented netlink dumping of netlink
    sockets.") From Andrey Vagin.

    20) Remove ugly passing of rtnetlink attributes into rtnl_doit
    functions, from Thomas Graf.

    21) Allow userspace to be able to see if a configuration change occurs
    in the middle of an address or device list dump, from Nicolas
    Dichtel.

    22) Support RFC3168 ECN protection for ipv6 fragments, from Hannes
    Frederic Sowa.

    23) Increase accuracy of packet length used by packet scheduler, from
    Jason Wang.

    24) Beginning set of changes to make ipv4/ipv6 fragment handling more
    scalable and less susceptible to overload and locking contention,
    from Jesper Dangaard Brouer.

    25) Get rid of using non-type-safe NLMSG_* macros and use nlmsg_*()
    instead. From Hong Zhiguo.

    26) Optimize route usage in IPVS by avoiding reference counting where
    possible, from Julian Anastasov.

    27) Convert IPVS schedulers to RCU, also from Julian Anastasov.

    28) Support cpu fanouts in xt_NFQUEUE netfilter target, from Holger
    Eitzenberger.

    29) Network namespace support for nf_log, ebt_log, xt_LOG, ipt_ULOG,
    nfnetlink_log, and nfnetlink_queue. From Gao feng.

    and the info provided by netlink socket dumping of AF_PACKET
    sockets. From Nicolas Dichtel.

    39) Fix peeking beyond zero sized SKBs in AF_UNIX, from Benjamin
    Poirier"
