      In the generic init_task migration sh64 silently lost its
      fake_swapper_regs definition, resulting in link errors.

      This implied a reference counting bug and the problem happened during
      mbind().
      
      mbind() applies a new memory policy to a range and uses mbind_range() to
      merge existing VMAs or split them as necessary.  In the event of splits,
      mpol_dup() will allocate a new struct mempolicy and maintain existing
      reference counts whose rules are documented in
      Documentation/vm/numa_memory_policy.txt .
      
      The problem occurs with shared memory policies.  The vm_op->set_policy
      increments the reference count if necessary and split_vma() and
      vma_merge() have already handled the existing reference counts.
      However, policy_vma() screws it up by replacing an existing
      vma->vm_policy with one that potentially has the wrong reference count
      leading to a premature free.  This patch removes the damage caused by
      policy_vma().
      
      With this patch applied Dave's trinity tool runs an mbind test for 5
      minutes without error.  /proc/slabinfo reported that there are no
      numa_policy or shared_policy_node objects allocated after the test
      completed and the shared memory region was deleted.

      Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman:
       "This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can
        reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete
        implementation.
      
        Highlights:
         - Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and
           code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe.
      
         - Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the
           config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable
           user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission
           checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe.
      
         - All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial
           user namespace before they are processed.  Removing the need to add
           an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared
           uids remains the same.
      
         - With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or
           better than it is today.
      
         - For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or
           operationally with the user namespace enabled.
      
         - The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1
           billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code
           enabled.  This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to
           164ns per stat operation).
      
         - (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value.
           Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially
           anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause
           entertaining failures in userspace.
      
         - If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails.
           I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I
           could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and
           handle the case where setuid fails.
      
         - If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which
           we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid.  The LFS
           experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be
           better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I
           can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we
           can't map.
      
         - Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it
           safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.
      
        My git tree covers all of the modifications needed to convert the core
        kernel and enough changes to make a system bootable to runlevel 1."

       "It was good that we could support MCA machines back in the day, but
        realistically, nobody is using them anymore.  They were mostly limited
        to 386-sx 16MHz CPU and some 486 class machines and never more than
        64MB of RAM.  Even the enthusiast hobbyist community seems to have
        dried up close to ten years ago, based on what you can find searching

        So lets remove the support relating to CONFIG_MCA.  There is no point

       "This is the first big chunk for 3.5 merges of sound stuff.
      
        There are a few big changes in different areas.  First off, the
        streaming logic of USB-audio endpoints has been largely rewritten for
        the better support of "implicit feedback".  If anything about USB got
        broken, this change has to be checked.
      
        For HD-audio, the resume procedure was changed; instead of delaying
        the resume of the hardware until the first use, now waking up
        immediately at resume.  This is for buggy BIOS.
      
        For ASoC, dynamic PCM support and the improved support for digital
        links between off-SoC devices are major framework changes.
      
        Some highlights are below:
      
        * HD-audio
         - Avoid accesses of invalid pin-control bits that may stall the codec
         - V-ref setup cleanups

      Pull exception table generation updates from Ingo Molnar:
       "The biggest change here is to allow the build-time sorting of the
        exception table, to speed up booting.  This is achieved by the
        architecture enabling BUILDTIME_EXTABLE_SORT.  This option is enabled
        for x86 and MIPS currently.
      
        On x86 a number of fixes and changes were needed to allow build-time
        sorting of the exception table, in particular a relocation invariant
        exception table format was needed.  This required the abstracting out
        of exception table protocol and the removal of 20 years of accumulated
        assumptions about the x86 exception table format.
      
        While at it, this tree also cleans up various other aspects of
        exception handling, such as early(er) exception handling for
        rdmsr_safe() et al.
      
        All in one, as the result of these changes the x86 exception code is
        now pretty nice and modern.  As an added bonus any regressions in this
        code will be early and violent crashes, so if you see any of those,
        you'll know whom to blame!"

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull powerpc updates from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
       "Here are the powerpc goodies for 3.5.  Main highlights are:
      
         - Support for the NX crypto engine in Power7+
         - A bunch of Anton goodness, including some micro optimization of our
           syscall entry on Power7
         - I converted a pile of our thermal control drivers to the new i2c
           APIs (essentially turning the old therm_pm72 into a proper set of
           windfarm drivers).  That's one more step toward removing the
           deprecated i2c APIs, there's still a few drivers to fix, but we are
           getting close
         - kexec/kdump support for 47x embedded cores
      
        The big missing thing here is no updates from Freescale.  Not sure
        what's up here, but with Kumar not working for them anymore things are
        a bit in a state of flux in that area."
