utilize the above kernel side changes):
- Lots of 'perf trace' enhancements:
. Make 'perf trace' command line arguments consistent with
'perf record', by David Ahern.
. Allow specifying syscalls a la strace, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Add --verbose and -o/--output options, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Support ! in -e expressions, to filter a list of syscalls,
by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Arg formatting improvements to allow masking arguments in
syscalls such as futex and open, where the some arguments are
ignored and thus should not be printed depending on other args,
by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Beautify futex open, openat, open_by_handle_at, lseek and futex
syscalls, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Add option to analyze events in a file versus live, so that
one can do:

[ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 25.150 MB perf.data (~1098836 samples) ]

assembly annotation. This also improves this use case because
vmlinux has just the initial kernel image, not what is actually
in use after various code patchings by things like alternatives.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on the cgroup front. Most changes aren't visible
to userland at all at this point and are laying foundation for the
planned unified hierarchy.
- The biggest change is decoupling the lifetime management of css
(cgroup_subsys_state) from that of cgroup's. Because controllers
(cpu, memory, block and so on) will need to be dynamically enabled
and disabled, css which is the association point between a cgroup
and a controller may come and go dynamically across the lifetime of
a cgroup. Till now, css's were created when the associated cgroup
was created and stayed till the cgroup got destroyed.
Assumptions around this tight coupling permeated through cgroup
core and controllers. These assumptions are gradually removed,
which consists bulk of patches, and css destruction path is
completely decoupled from cgroup destruction path. Note that
decoupling of creation path is relatively easy on top of these
changes and the patchset is pending for the next window.
- cgroup has its own event mechanism cgroup.event_control, which is
only used by memcg. It is overly complex trying to achieve high
flexibility whose benefits seem dubious at best. Going forward,
new events will simply generate file modified event and the
existing mechanism is being made specific to memcg. This pull
request contains prepatory patches for such change.
- Various fixes and cleanups"

Pull libata changes from Tejun Heo:
"Two interesting changes.
- libata acpi handling has been restructured so that the association
between ata devices and ACPI handles are less convoluted. This
change shouldn't change visible behavior.
- Queued TRIM support, which enables sending TRIM to the device
without draining in-flight RW commands, is added. Currently only
enabled for ahci (and likely to stay that way for the foreseeable
future).
Other changes are driver-specific updates / fixes"

1) ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) subsystem rework and introduction
of Intel Thunderbolt support on systems that use ACPI for signalling
Thunderbolt hotplug events. This also should make ACPIPHP work in
some cases in which it was known to have problems. From

it causes the governor to choose target frequencies proportional
to load) from Stratos Karafotis.
10) cpufreq fixes allowing sysfs attributes file permissions to be
preserved over suspend/resume cycles Srivatsa S Bhat.
11) Removal of Device Tree parsing for CPU device nodes from multiple
cpufreq drivers that required some changes related to

Pull first batch of s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
"The most interesting change is that Martin converted s390 to generic
hardirqs. Which means that all current architectures have been
converted and that CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS can be removed. Martin
prepared a patch for that already (see genirq branch), but the best
time to merge that is probably at the end of the merge window / begin
of -rc1.
Another patch converts s390 to software referenced bits instead of
relying on the reference bit in the storage key. Therefore s390
doesn't use storage keys anymore, except for kvm.
Besides that we have improvements, cleanups and fixes in PCI, DASD and
all over the place."

Not much exciting going on with the regulator API this time around, lots
of driver fixes and enhancements - the main thing is the addition of a
new API to help make the stubbing code do the right thing for missing
regulator mappings.
Highlights:
- A new regulator_get_optional() API call for regulators that can be
absent in normal operation. This currently does nothing but will be
used to improve the stubbing code for unspecified regulators, helping
avoid some of the issues we've seen with adding new regulator support.
- Helpers for devices with multiple linear ranges of voltages in the
same regulator.
- Moved the helpers into a separate file since core.c is getting rather
large.
- New drivers for Dialog DA9210 and DA9063, Freescale pfuze100 and
Marvell 88pm800.

Merge lockref infrastructure code by me and Waiman Long.
I already merged some of the preparatory patches that didn't actually do
any semantic changes earlier, but this merges the actual _reason_ for
those preparatory patches.
The "lockref" structure is a combination "spinlock and reference count"
that allows optimized reference count accesses. In particular, it
guarantees that the reference count will be updated AS IF the spinlock
was held, but using atomic accesses that cover both the reference count
and the spinlock words, we can often do the update without actually
having to take the lock.
This allows us to avoid the nastiest cases of spinlock contention on
large machines under heavy pathname lookup loads. When updating the
dentry reference counts on a large system, we'll still end up with the
cache line bouncing around, but that's much less noticeable than
actually having to spin waiting for the lock.
* lockref:
lockref: implement lockless reference count updates using cmpxchg()
lockref: uninline lockref helper functions
vfs: reimplement d_rcu_to_refcount() using lockref_get_or_lock()
vfs: use lockref_get_not_zero() for optimistic lockless dget_parent()
lockref: add 'lockref_get_or_lock() helper

Instead of taking the spinlock, the lockless versions atomically check
that the lock is not taken, and do the reference count update using a
cmpxchg() loop. This is semantically identical to doing the reference
count update protected by the lock, but avoids the "wait for lock"
contention that you get when accesses to the reference count are
contended.
Note that a "lockref" is absolutely _not_ equivalent to an atomic_t.
Even when the lockref reference counts are updated atomically with
cmpxchg, the fact that they also verify the state of the spinlock means
that the lockless updates can never happen while somebody else holds the
spinlock.
So while "lockref_put_or_lock()" looks a lot like just another name for
"atomic_dec_and_lock()", and both optimize to lockless updates, they are
fundamentally different: the decrement done by atomic_dec_and_lock() is
truly independent of any lock (as long as it doesn't decrement to zero),
so a locked region can still see the count change.
The lockref structure, in contrast, really is a *locked* reference
count. If you hold the spinlock, the reference count will be stable and
you can modify the reference count without using atomics, because even
the lockless updates will see and respect the state of the lock.
In order to enable the cmpxchg lockless code, the architecture needs to
do three things:
(1) Make sure that the "arch_spinlock_t" and an "unsigned int" can fit
in an aligned u64, and have a "cmpxchg()" implementation that works
on such a u64 data type.
(2) define a helper function to test for a spinlock being unlocked
("arch_spin_value_unlocked()")
(3) select the "ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF" config variable in its
Kconfig file.
This enables it for x86-64 (but not 32-bit, we'd need to make sure
cmpxchg() turns into the proper cmpxchg8b in order to enable it for
32-bit mode).

They aren't very good to inline, since they already call external

locklessly.

This moves __d_rcu_to_refcount() from <linux/dcache.h> into fs/namei.c
and re-implements it using the lockref infrastructure instead. It also
adds a lot of comments about what is actually going on, because turning
a dentry that was looked up using RCU into a long-lived reference
counted entry is one of the more subtle parts of the rcu walk.
We also used to be _particularly_ subtle in unlazy_walk() where we
re-validate both the dentry and its parent using the same sequence
count. We used to do it by nesting the locks and then verifying the
sequence count just once.
That was silly, because nested locking is expensive, but the sequence
count check is not. So this just re-validates the dentry and the parent
separately, avoiding the nested locking, and making the lockref lookup
possible.

This behaves like "lockref_get_not_zero()", but instead of doing nothing
if the count was zero, it returns with the lock held.
This allows callers to revalidate the lockref-protected data structure
if required even if the count was zero to begin with, and possibly
increment the count if it passes muster.
In particular, the dentry code wants this when it wants to turn an
RCU-protected dentry into a stable refcounted one: if the dentry count
it zero, but the sequence number still validates the dentry, we can take
a reference to it.

When an event is disabled the "tracking" events selected by the 'mmap',
'comm' and 'task' bits of struct perf_event_attr, are also disabled.
However, the information those events provide is necessary to resolve
symbols for when the main event is re-enabled.
The "tracking" events can be kept enabled by putting them on another
event, but that requires an event that otherwise does nothing. A new
software event PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY is added for that purpose.

For performance reasons, when SMAP is in use, SMAP is left open for an
entire put_user_try { ... } put_user_catch(); block, however, calling
__put_user() in the middle of that block will close SMAP as the
STAC..CLAC constructs intentionally do not nest.
Furthermore, using __put_user() rather than put_user_ex() here is bad
for performance.
Thus, introduce new [compat_]save_altstack_ex() helpers that replace
__[compat_]save_altstack() for x86, being currently the only
architecture which supports put_user_try { ... } put_user_catch().
