      Pull KVM changes from Paolo Bonzini:
       "Here are the 3.13 KVM changes.  There was a lot of work on the PPC
        side: the HV and emulation flavors can now coexist in a single kernel
        is probably the most interesting change from a user point of view.
      
        On the x86 side there are nested virtualization improvements and a few
        bugfixes.
      
        ARM got transparent huge page support, improved overcommit, and
        support for big endian guests.
      
        Finally, there is a new interface to connect KVM with VFIO.  This
        helps with devices that use NoSnoop PCI transactions, letting the
        driver in the guest execute WBINVD instructions.  This includes some
        nVidia cards on Windows, that fail to start without these patches and
        the corresponding userspace changes"

      Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
       "This has tons of fixes and two major features which are concentrated
        around the Xen SWIOTLB library.
      
        The short <blurb> is that the tracing facility (just one function) has
        been added to SWIOTLB to make it easier to track I/O progress.
        Additionally under Xen and ARM (32 & 64) the Xen-SWIOTLB driver
        "is used to translate physical to machine and machine to physical
        addresses of foreign[guest] pages for DMA operations" (Stefano) when
        booting under hardware without proper IOMMU.
      
        There are also bug-fixes, cleanups, compile warning fixes, etc.
      
        The commit times for some of the commits is a bit fresh - that is b/c
        we wanted to make sure we have the Ack's from the ARM folks - which
        with the string of back-to-back conferences took a bit of time.  Rest
        assured - the code has been stewing in #linux-next for some time.
      
        Features:
         - SWIOTLB has tracing added when doing bounce buffer.
         - Xen ARM/ARM64 can use Xen-SWIOTLB.  This work allows Linux to
           safely program real devices for DMA operations when running as a
           guest on Xen on ARM, without IOMMU support. [*1]
         - xen_raw_printk works with PVHVM guests if needed.
      
        Bug-fixes:
         - Make memory ballooning work under HVM with large MMIO region.
         - Inform hypervisor of MCFG regions found in ACPI DSDT.
         - Remove deprecated IRQF_DISABLED.
         - Remove deprecated __cpuinit.
      
        [*1]:
        "On arm and arm64 all Xen guests, including dom0, run with second
         stage translation enabled.  As a consequence when dom0 programs a
         device for a DMA operation is going to use (pseudo) physical
         addresses instead machine addresses.  This work introduces two trees
         to track physical to machine and machine to physical mappings of
         foreign pages.  Local pages are assumed mapped 1:1 (physical address
         == machine address).  It enables the SWIOTLB-Xen driver on ARM and
         ARM64, so that Linux can translate physical addresses to machine
         addresses for dma operations when necessary.  " (Stefano)"

      hfsplus: Fix undefined __divdi3 in hfsplus_init_header_node() · a99b7069
      Geert Uytterhoeven authored
      ERROR: "__divdi3" [fs/hfsplus/hfsplus.ko] undefined!
      
      Introduced by commit 099e9245
      
       ("hfsplus: implement attributes file's
      header node initialization code").
      
      i_size_read() returns loff_t, which is long long, i.e.  64-bit.  node_size
      is size_t, which is either 32-bit or 64-bit.  Hence
      "i_size_read(attr_file) / node_size" is a 64-by-32 or 64-by-64 division,
      causing (some versions of) gcc to emit a call to __divdi3().
      
      Fortunately node_size is actually 16-bit, as the sole caller of
      hfsplus_init_header_node() passes a u16.  Hence change its type from
      size_t to u16, and use do_div() to perform a 64-by-32 division.
      
      Not seen in m68k/allmodconfig in -next, so it really depends on the
      verion of gcc.

      kfifo API type safety · 498d319b
      Stefani Seibold authored
      
      
      This patch enhances the type safety for the kfifo API.  It is now safe
      to put const data into a non const FIFO and the API will now generate a
      compiler warning when reading from the fifo where the destination
      address is pointing to a const variable.
      
      As a side effect the kfifo_put() does now expect the value of an element
      instead a pointer to the element.  This was suggested Russell King.  It
      make the handling of the kfifo_put easier since there is no need to
      create a helper variable for getting the address of a pointer or to pass
      integers of different sizes.
      
      IMHO the API break is okay, since there are currently only six users of
      kfifo_put().
      
      The code is also cleaner by kicking out the "if (0)" expressions.
