      Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
 "This contains the usual updates from other people (listed below) and
  the usual random muddle of miscellaneous ARM updates which cover some
  low priority bug fixes and performance improvements.

  I've started to put the pull request wording into the merge commits,
  which are:

   - NoMMU stuff:

     This includes the following series sent earlier to the list:
      - nommu-fixes
      - R7 Support
      - MPU support

     I've left out the ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM/!MMU stuff that Arnd and I
     were discussing today until we've reached a conclusion/that's had
     some more review.

     This is rebased (and re-tested) on your devel-stable branch because
     otherwise there were going to be conflicts with Uwe's V7M work now
     that you've merged that.  I've included the fix for limiting MPU to
     CPU_V7.

   - Huge page support

     These changes bring both HugeTLB support and Transparent HugePage
     (THP) support to ARM.  Only long descriptors (LPAE) are supported
     in this series.

     The code has been tested on an Arndale board (Exynos 5250).

   - LPAE updates

     Please pull these miscellaneous LPAE fixes I've been collecting for
     a while now for 3.11.  They've been tested and reviewed by quite a
     few people, and most of the patches are pretty trivial.  -- Will Deacon.

   - arch_timer cleanups

     Please pull these arch_timer cleanups I've been holding onto for a
     while.  They're the same as my last posting, but have been rebased
     to v3.10-rc3.

   - mpidr linearisation (multiprocessor id register - identifies which
     CPU number we are in the system)

     This patch series that implements MPIDR linearization through a
     simple hashing algorithm and updates current cpu_{suspend}/{resume}
     code to use the newly created hash structures to retrieve context
     pointers.  It represents a stepping stone for the implementation of
     power management code on forthcoming multi-cluster ARM systems.

     It has been tested on TC2 (dual cluster A15xA7 system), iMX6q,
     OMAP4 and Tegra, with processors hitting low-power states requiring
     warm-boot resume through the cpu_resume code path"

      vfs: export lseek_execute() to modules · 46a1c2c7
      Jie Liu authored 
      
For those file systems(btrfs/ext4/ocfs2/tmpfs) that support
SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE functions, we end up handling the similar
matter in lseek_execute() to update the current file offset
to the desired offset if it is valid, ceph also does the
simliar things at ceph_llseek().

To reduce the duplications, this patch make lseek_execute()
public accessible so that we can call it directly from the
underlying file systems.

Thanks Dave Chinner for this suggestion.

[AV: call it vfs_setpos(), don't bring the removed 'inode' argument back]

v2->v1:
- Add kernel-doc comments for lseek_execute()
- Call lseek_execute() in ceph->llseek()

      Merge branch 'for-3.11-cpuset' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup · 0b0585c3
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Pull cpuset changes from Tejun Heo:
 "cpuset has always been rather odd about its configurations - a cgroup
  right after creation didn't allow any task executions before
  configuration, changing configuration in the parent modifies the
  descendants irreversibly and so on.  These behaviors are inherently
  nasty and almost hostile against sharing the hierarchy with other
  controllers making it very difficult to use in unified hierarchy.

  Li is currently in the process of updating the behaviors for
  __DEVEL__sane_behavior which is the bulk of changes in this pull
  request.  It isn't complete yet and the behaviors will change further
  but all changes are gated behind sane_behavior.  In the process, the
  rather hairy work-item punting which was used to work around the
  limitations of cgroup descendant iterator was simplified."

      Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo:
 "This pull request contains the following changes.

   - cgroup_subsys_state (css) reference counting has been converted to
     percpu-ref.  css is what each resource controller embeds into its
     own control structure and perform reference count against.  It may
     be used in hot paths of various subsystems and is similar to module
     refcnt in that aspect.  For example, block-cgroup's css refcnting
     was showing up a lot in Mikulaus's device-mapper scalability work
     and this should alleviate it.

   - cgroup subtree iterator has been updated so that RCU read lock can
     be released after grabbing reference.  This allows simplifying its
     users which requires blocking which used to build iteration list
     under RCU read lock and then traverse it outside.  This pull
     request contains simplification of cgroup core and device-cgroup.
     A separate pull request will update cpuset.

   - Fixes for various bugs including corner race conditions and RCU
     usage bugs.

   - A lot of cleanups and some prepartory work for the planned unified
     hierarchy support."

      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
 "Surprisingly, Lai and I didn't break too many things implementing
  custom pools and stuff last time around and there aren't any follow-up
  changes necessary at this point.

  The only change in this pull request is Viresh's patches to make some
  per-cpu workqueues to behave as unbound workqueues dependent on a boot
  param whose default can be configured via a config option.  This leads
  to higher processing overhead / lower bandwidth as more work items are
  bounced across CPUs; however, it can lead to noticeable powersave in
  certain configurations - ~10% w/ idlish constant workload on a
  big.LITTLE configuration according to Viresh.

  This is because per-cpu workqueues interfere with how the scheduler
  perceives whether or not each CPU is idle by forcing pinned tasks on
  them, which makes the scheduler's power-aware scheduling decisions
  less effective.

  Its effectiveness is likely less pronounced on homogenous
  configurations and this type of optimization can probably be made
  automatic; however, the changes are pretty minimal and the affected
  workqueues are clearly marked, so it's an easy gain for some
  configurations for the time being with pretty unintrusive changes."

 "This pull request contains Kent's per-cpu reference counter.  It has
  gone through several iterations since the last time and the dynamic
  allocation is gone.

  The usual usage is relatively straight-forward although async kill
  confirm interface, which is not used int most cases, is somewhat icky.
  There also are some interface concerns - e.g.  I'm not sure about
  passing in @relesae callback during init as that becomes funny when we
  later implement synchronous kill_and_drain - but nothing too serious
  and it's quite useable now.

  cgroup_subsys_state refcnting has already been converted and we should
  convert module refcnt (Kent?)"
