Pull regulator updates from Mark Brown:
 "This time around most of the changes are a lot of new drivers along
  with the standard set of fixes and cleanups (thanks again largely to
  Axel Lin).  We do have one nice new feature in the core which factors
  out the disappointingly tricky code around DT parsing, only a couple
  of drivers have been converted so far:

   - Factor out the code for parsing the standard bindings for a set of
     regulators out of DT, making the probe part of a lot of drivers
     simplier.
   - New drivers for Dialog DA9213, HiSilicon HI6420, Intersil

 "Even though this has fixes marked for -stable, given the size and the

  These patches have been languishing in my tree for a long while.  The
  fact that I do not have the time to do proper/prompt maintenance of
  this tree is a primary factor in the decision to step down as
  dmaengine maintainer.  That and the fact that the bulk of drivers/dma/
  activity is going through Vinod these days.

  The net_dma removal has not been in -next.  It has developed simple
  conflicts against mainline and net-next (for-3.18).

  Continuing thanks to Vinod for staying on top of drivers/dma/.

  Summary:

   1/ Step down as dmaengine maintainer see commit 08223d80df
      "dmaengine maintainer update"

   2/ Removal of net_dma, as it has been marked 'broken' since 3.13

Takao Indoh 567eded965 ipmi: Clear drvdata when interface is removed
This patch fixes a bug on hotmod removing.

After ipmi interface is removed using hotmod, kernel panic occurs when
rmmod impi_si.  For example, try this:

 # echo "remove,"`cat /proc/ipmi/0/params` > \
 /sys/module/ipmi_si/parameters/hotmod
 # rmmod ipmi_si

Then, rmmod fails with the following messages.

  ------------[ cut here ]------------

  ---[ end trace 70b4377268f85c23 ]---

list_del in cleanup_one_si() fails because the smi_info is already
removed when hotmod removing.

When ipmi interface is removed by hotmod, smi_info is removed by
cleanup_one_si(), but is is still set in drvdata.  Therefore when rmmod
ipmi_si, ipmi_pnp_remove tries to remove it again and fails.

By this patch, a pointer to smi_info in drvdata is cleared when hotmod
removing so that it will be not accessed when rmmod.

- Clear drvdata in cleanup_one_si

Arnd Bergmann cc4cbe9011 ipmi: work around gcc-4.9 build warning
Building ipmi on arm with gcc-4.9 results in this warning for an
allmodconfig build:

  drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c: In function 'ipmi_thread':
  include/linux/time.h:28:5: warning: 'busy_until.tv_sec' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
    if (lhs->tv_sec > rhs->tv_sec)
       ^
  drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:1007:18: note: 'busy_until.tv_sec' was declared here
    struct timespec busy_until;
                    ^

The warning is bogus and this case can not occur.  Apparently this is a
false positive resulting from gcc getting a little smarter about
tracking assignments but not smart enough.

Marking the ipmi_thread_busy_wait function as inline gives the gcc
optimization logic enough information to figure out for itself that the
case cannot happen, which gets rid of the warning without adding any
fake initialization.

Josh Triplett 62b4d20411 init/Kconfig: Fix HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG to not break up the EXPERT menu
commit 03b8c7b623 ("futex: Allow
architectures to skip futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() test") added the
HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG symbol right below FUTEX.  This placed it right in
the middle of the options for the EXPERT menu.  However,
HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG does not depend on EXPERT or FUTEX, so Kconfig stops
placing items in the EXPERT menu, and displays the remaining several
EXPERT items (starting with EPOLL) directly in the General Setup menu.

Since both users of HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG only select it "if FUTEX", make
HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG itself depend on FUTEX.  With this change, the
subsequent items display as part of the EXPERT menu again; the EMBEDDED
menu now appears as the next top-level item in the General Setup menu,
which makes General Setup much shorter and more usable.

Pull trace ring buffer iterator fix from Steven Rostedt:
 "While testing some new changes for 3.18, I kept hitting a bug every so
  often in the ring buffer.  At first I thought it had to do with some
  of the changes I was working on, but then testing something else I
  realized that the bug was in 3.17 itself.  I ran several bisects as
  the bug was not very reproducible, and finally came up with the commit
  that I could reproduce easily within a few minutes, and without the
  change I could run the tests over an hour without issue.  The change
  fit the bug and I figured out a fix.  That bad commit was:

    Commit 651e22f270 "ring-buffer: Always reset iterator to reader page"

  This commit fixed a bug, but in the process created another one.  It
  used the wrong value as the cached value that is used to see if things
  changed while an iterator was in use.  This made it look like a change
