       "There's a single commit in this tree, which adds support for a new SGI
        UV GRU (Global Reference Unit - fast NUMA messaging ASIC) hardware
        feature to scale up and beyond: an optional distributed mode that will
        allow per-node address mapping of local GRU space, as opposed to
        mapping all GRU hardware to the same contiguous high space"

      Pull voluntary preemption fixes from Ingo Molnar:
       "This tree contains a speedup which is achieved through better
        might_sleep()/might_fault() preemption point annotations for uaccess
        functions, by Michael S Tsirkin:
      
        1. The only reason uaccess routines might sleep is if they fault.
           Make this explicit for all architectures.
      
        2. A voluntary preemption point in uaccess functions means compiler
           can't inline them efficiently, this breaks assumptions that they
           are very fast and small that e.g.  net code seems to make.  Remove
           this preemption point so behaviour matches with what callers
           assume.
      
        3. Accesses (e.g through socket ops) to kernel memory with KERNEL_DS
           like net/sunrpc does will never sleep.  Remove an unconditinal
           might_sleep() in the might_fault() inline in kernel.h (used when
           PROVE_LOCKING is not set).
      
        4. Accesses with pagefault_disable() return EFAULT but won't cause
           caller to sleep.  Check for that and thus avoid might_sleep() when
           PROVE_LOCKING is set.
      
        These changes offer a nice speedup for CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y
        kernels, here's a network bandwidth measurement between a virtual
        machine and the host:
      
         before:

              outgoing: 8480.37   Mb/s

              outgoing: 9455.42   Mb/s   [ +11.5% ]

      Pull WW mutex support from Ingo Molnar:
       "This tree adds support for wound/wait style locks, which the graphics
        guys would like to make use of in the TTM graphics subsystem.
      
        Wound/wait mutexes are used when other multiple lock acquisitions of a
        similar type can be done in an arbitrary order.  The deadlock handling
        used here is called wait/wound in the RDBMS literature: The older
        tasks waits until it can acquire the contended lock.  The younger
        tasks needs to back off and drop all the locks it is currently
        holding, ie the younger task is wounded.
      
        See this LWN.net description of W/W mutexes:
      
           https://lwn.net/Articles/548909/
      
        The comments there outline specific usecases for this facility (which
        have already been implemented for the DRM tree).

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull ARM SoC driver specific changes from Arnd Bergmann:
       "These changes are all driver specific and cross over between arm-soc
        contents and some other subsystem, in these cases cpufreq, crypto,
        dma, pinctrl, mailbox and usb, and the subsystem owners agreed to have
        these changes merged through arm-soc.
      
        As we proceed to untangle the dependencies between platform code and
        driver code, the amount of changes in this category is fortunately
        shrinking, for 3.11 we have 16 branches here and 101 non-merge
        changesets, the majority of which are for the stedma40 dma engine
        driver used in the ux500 platform.  Cleaning up that code touches
        multiple subsystems, but gets rid of the dependency in the end.
      
        The mailbox code moved out from mach-omap2 to drivers/mailbox is an
        intermediate step and is still omap specific at the moment.  Patches
        exist to generalize the subsystem and add other drivers with the same
        API, but those did not make it for 3.11."
