      Pull btrfs update from Chris Mason:
       "The biggest feature in the pull is the new (and still experimental)
        raid56 code that David Woodhouse started long ago.  I'm still working
        on the parity logging setup that will avoid inconsistent parity after
        a crash, so this is only for testing right now.  But, I'd really like
        to get it out to a broader audience to hammer out any performance
        issues or other problems.
      
        scrub does not yet correct errors on raid5/6 either.
      
        Josef has another pass at fsync performance.  The big change here is
        to combine waiting for metadata with waiting for data, which is a big
        latency win.  It is also step one toward using atomics from the
        hardware during a commit.
      
        Mark Fasheh has a new way to use btrfs send/receive to send only the
        metadata changes.  SUSE is using this to make snapper more efficient
        at finding changes between snapshosts.
      
        Snapshot-aware defrag is also included.
      
        Otherwise we have a large number of fixes and cleanups.  Eric Sandeen
        wins the award for removing the most lines, and I'm hoping we steal
        this idea from XFS over and over again."

       "The main addition here is a long-desired target framework to allow an

      Don Morris reproduced on a HP z620 workstation, and bisected it to
      commit e8d19552 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock
      is ready")
      
      It turns out movable_map has some problems, and it breaks several things
      
      1. numa_init is called several times, NOT just for srat. so those
      	nodes_clear(numa_nodes_parsed)
      	memset(&numa_meminfo, 0, sizeof(numa_meminfo))
         can not be just removed.  Need to consider sequence is: numaq, srat, amd, dummy.
         and make fall back path working.
      
      2. simply split acpi_numa_init to early_parse_srat.
         a. that early_parse_srat is NOT called for ia64, so you break ia64.
         b.  for (i = 0; i < MAX_LOCAL_APIC; i++)
      	     set_apicid_to_node(i, NUMA_NO_NODE)
           still left in numa_init. So it will just clear result from early_parse_srat.
           it should be moved before that....
         c.  it breaks ACPI_TABLE_OVERIDE...as the acpi table scan is moved
             early before override from INITRD is settled.
      
      3. that patch TITLE is total misleading, there is NO x86 in the title,
         but it changes critical x86 code. It caused x86 guys did not
         pay attention to find the problem early. Those patches really should
         be routed via tip/x86/mm.
      
      4. after that commit, following range can not use movable ram:
        a. real_mode code.... well..funny, legacy Node0 [0,1M) could be hot-removed?
        b. initrd... it will be freed after booting, so it could be on movable...
        c. crashkernel for kdump...: looks like we can not put kdump kernel above 4G
      	anymore.
        d. init_mem_mapping: can not put page table high anymore.
        e. initmem_init: vmemmap can not be high local node anymore. That is
           not good.
      
      If node is hotplugable, the mem related range like page table and
      vmemmap could be on the that node without problem and should be on that
      node.
      
      We have workaround patch that could fix some problems, but some can not
      be fixed.
      
      So just remove that offending commit and related ones including:
      
       f7210e6c ("mm/memblock.c: use CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP to
          protect movablecore_map in memblock_overlaps_region().")
      
       01a178a9 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: support getting hotplug info from
          SRAT")
      
       27168d38 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: extend movablemem_map ranges to
          the end of node")
      
       e8d19552 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock is
          ready")
      
       fb06bc8e ("page_alloc: bootmem limit with movablecore_map")
      
       42f47e27 ("page_alloc: make movablemem_map have higher priority")
      
       6981ec31 ("page_alloc: introduce zone_movable_limit[] to keep
          movable limit for nodes")
      
       34b71f1e ("page_alloc: add movable_memmap kernel parameter")
      
       4d59a751 ("x86: get pg_data_t's memory from other node")
      
      Later we should have patches that will make sure kernel put page table
      and vmemmap on local node ram instead of push them down to node0.  Also
      need to find way to put other kernel used ram to local node ram.

      Pull new ARC architecture from Vineet Gupta:
       "Initial ARC Linux port with some fixes on top for 3.9-rc1:
      
        I would like to introduce the Linux port to ARC Processors (from
        Synopsys) for 3.9-rc1.  The patch-set has been discussed on the public
        lists since Nov and has received a fair bit of review, specially from
        Arnd, tglx, Al and other subsystem maintainers for DeviceTree, kgdb...
      
        The arch bits are in arch/arc, some asm-generic changes (acked by
        Arnd), a minor change to PARISC (acked by Helge).
      
        The series is a touch bigger for a new port for 2 main reasons:
      
         1. It enables a basic kernel in first sub-series and adds
            ptrace/kgdb/.. later
      
         2. Some of the fallout of review (DeviceTree support, multi-platform-
            image support) were added on top of orig series, primarily to
            record the revision history.
      
        This updated pull request additionally contains
      
         - fixes due to our GNU tools catching up with the new syscall/ptrace
           ABI
      
         - some (minor) cross-arch Kconfig updates."

      Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
      
       o Add basic support for the Mediatek/Ralink Wireless SoC family.
      
       o The Qualcomm Atheros platform is extended by support for the new
         QCA955X SoC series as well as a bunch of patches that get the code
         ready for OF support.
      
       o Lantiq and BCM47XX platform have a few improvements and bug fixes.
      
       o MIPS has sent a few patches that get the kernel ready for the
         upcoming microMIPS support.
      
       o The rest of the series is made up of small bug fixes and cleanups
         that relate to various parts of the MIPS code.  The biggy in there is
         a whitespace cleanup.  After I was sent another set of whitespace
         cleanup patches I decided it was the time to clean the whitespace
         "issues" for once and and that touches many files below arch/mips/.
      
      Fix up silly conflicts, mostly due to whitespace cleanups.

      The 'ssb' command can only be handled when we have a disassembler, to check for
      branches, so remove the 'ssb' command for now.

      kdb: Prevent kernel oops with kdb_defcmd · a37372f6
      Jason Wessel authored
      The kdb_defcmd can only be used to display the available command aliases
      while using the kernel debug shell.  If you try to define a new macro
      while the kernel debugger is active it will oops.  The debug shell
      macros must use pre-allocated memory set aside at the time kdb_init()
      is run, and the kdb_defcmd is restricted to only working at the time
      that the kdb_init sequence is being run, which only occurs if you
      actually activate the kernel debugger.

      kdb: Remove the ll command · 1b2caa2d
      Jason Wessel authored
      Recently some code inspection was done after fixing a problem with
      kmalloc used while in the kernel debugger context (which is not
      legal), and it turned up the fact that kdb ll command will oops the
      kernel.
      
      Given that there have been zero bug reports on the command combined
      with the fact it will oops the kernel it is clearly not being used.
      Instead of fixing it, it will be removed.

      kdb_main: fix help print · 074604af
      Jason Wessel authored
      The help command was chopping all the usage instructions such that
      they were not readable.
      
      Example:
      
      bta             [D|R|S|T|C|Z|E|U|I| Backtrace all processes matching state flag
      per_cpu         <sym> [<bytes>] [<c Display per_cpu variables
      
      Where as it should look like:
      
      bta             [D|R|S|T|C|Z|E|U|I|M|A]
                                          Backtrace all processes matching state flag
      per_cpu         <sym> [<bytes>] [<cpu>]
                                          Display per_cpu variables
      
      All that is needed is to check the how long the cmd_usage is and jump
      to the next line when appropriate.

      kdb: Fix overlap in buffers with strcpy · 4eb7a66d
      Jason Wessel authored
      Maxime reported that strcpy(s->usage, s->usage+1) has no definitive
      guarantee that it will work on all archs the same way when you have
      overlapping memory.  The fix is simple for the kdb code because we
      still have the original string memory in the function scope, so we
      just have to use that as the argument instead.

      Fixed dead ifdef block by adding missing Kconfig option. · 3b0eb71e
      Robert Obermeier authored
      Added missing Kconfig option KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC which lead to a dead
      ifdef block in kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_main.c:73-75.
      
      The code using KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC was originally introduced in
      commit '5d5314d6' by Jason Wessel.
      This patchset ("kdb: core for kgdb back end (1 of 2)")
      added platform independent part of kdb to the linux kernel.
      
      The Kernel option however, even though it had the same options and
      behaviour on all supported architectures, was part of the x86 and
      ia64 patchset of KDB and therefore not pulled into the mainline kernel tree.
      
      I actually took the originally written Kconfig by
      Keith Owens <kaos@sgi.com> (2003-06-20 according to KDB changelog)
      and changed it to reflect the correct behaviour,
      as the KDUMP patchset is not part of the kernel and the expected
      functionality is missing from it.

      kdb: Setup basic kdb state before invoking commands via kgdb · 00370b8f
      Matt Klein authored
      Although invasive kdb commands are not supported via kgdb, some useful
      non-invasive commands like bt* require basic kdb state to be setup before
      calling into the kdb code. Factor out some of this code and call it before
      and after executing kdb commands via kgdb.

      kgdb/kgdbts: support ppc64 · e78acf67
      Tiejun Chen authored
      We can't look up the address of the entry point of the function simply
      via that function symbol for all architectures.
      
      For PPC64 ABI, actually there is a function descriptors structure.
      
      A function descriptor is a three doubleword data structure that contains
      the following values:
      	* The first doubleword contains the address of the entry point of
      		the function.
      	* The second doubleword contains the TOC base address for
      		the function.
      	* The third doubleword contains the environment pointer for
      		languages such as Pascal and PL/1.
      
      So we should call a wapperred dereference_function_descriptor() to get
      the address of the entry point of the function.
      
      Note this is also safe for other architecture after refer to
      "include/asm-generic/sections.h" since:
      
      dereference_function_descriptor(p) always is (p) if without arched definition.

      kdb: A fix for kdb command table expansion · f7c82d5a
      John Blackwood authored
      When locally adding in some additional kdb commands, I stumbled
      across an issue with the dynamic expansion of the kdb command table.
      When the number of kdb commands exceeds the size of the statically
      allocated kdb_base_commands[] array, additional space is allocated in
      the kdb_register_repeat() routine.
      
      The unused portion of the newly allocated array was not being initialized
      to zero properly and this would result in segfaults when help '?' was
      executed or when a search for a non-existing command would traverse the
      command table beyond the end of valid command entries and then attempt
      to use the non-zeroed area as actual command entries.
