Pull UBI fastmap changes from Artem Bityutskiy:
"This pull request contains the UBI fastmap support implemented by
Richard Weinberger from Linutronix. Fastmap is designed to address
UBI's slow scanning issues. Namely, it introduces a new on-flash
data-structure called "fastmap", which stores the information about
logical<->physical eraseblocks mappings. So now to get this
information just read the fastmap, instead of doing full scan. More
information here can be found in Richard's announcement in LKML
(Subject: UBI: Fastmap request for inclusion (v19)):
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1364922/focus=1369109
One thing I want to explicitly say is that fastmap did not have large
enough linux-next exposure. It is partially my fault - I did not
respond quickly enough. I _really_ apologize for this. But it had
good testing and disabled by default, so I do not expect that we'll
break anything.
Fastmap is declared as experimental so far, and it is off by default.
We did declare that the on-flash format may be changed. The reason
for this is that no one used it in real production so far, so there is
a high risk that something is missing. Besides, we do not have
user-space tools supporting fastmap so far.
Nevertheless, I suggest we merge this feature. Many people want UBI's
scanning bottleneck to be fixed and merging fastmap now should
accelerate its production use. The plan is to make it bullet-prove,
somewhat clean-up, and make it the default for UBI. I do not know how
many kernel releases will it take.
Basically, I what I want to do for fastmap is something like Linus did
for btrfs few years ago."

Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
"The first part of the media updates for Kernel 3.7.
This series contain:
- A major tree renaming patch series: now, drivers are organized
internally by their used bus, instead of by V4L2 and/or DVB API,
providing a cleaner driver location for hybrid drivers that
implement both APIs, and allowing to cleanup the Kconfig items and
make them more intuitive for the end user;
- Media Kernel developers are typically very lazy with their duties
of keeping the MAINTAINERS entries for their drivers updated. As
now the tree is more organized, we're doing an effort to add/update
those entries for the drivers that aren't currently orphan;
- Several DVB USB drivers got moved to a new DVB USB v2 core; the new
core fixes several bugs (as the existing one that got bitroted).
Now, suspend/resume finally started to work fine (at least with
some devices - we should expect more work with regards to it);
- added multistream support for DVB-T2, and unified the API for
DVB-S2 and ISDB-S. Backward binary support is preserved;
- as usual, a few new drivers, some V4L2 core improvements and lots
of drivers improvements and fixes.
There are some points to notice on this series:
1) you should expect a trivial merge conflict on your tree, with the
removal of Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt: this series
would be adding two additional entries there. I opted to not
rebase it due to this recent change;
2) With regards to the PCTV 520e udev-related breakage, I opted to
fix it in a way that the patches can be backported to 3.5 even
without your firmware fix patch. This way, Greg doesn't need to
rush backporting your patch (as there are still the firmware cache
and firmware path customization issues to be addressed there).
I'll send later a patch (likely after the end of the merge window)
reverting the rest of the DRX-K async firmware request, fully
restoring its original behaviour to allow media drivers to
initialize everything serialized as before for 3.7 and upper.
3) I'm planning to work on this weekend to test the DMABUF patches
for V4L2. The patches are on my queue for several Kernel cycles,
but, up to now, there is/was no way to test the series locally.
I have some concerns about this particular changeset with regards
to security issues, and with regards to the replacement of the old
VIDIOC_OVERLAY ioctl's that is broken on modern systems, due to
GPU drivers change. The Overlay API allows direct PCI2PCI
transfers from a media capture card into the GPU framebuffer, but
its API is crappy. Also, the only existing X11 driver that
implements it requires a XV extension that is not available
anymore on modern drivers. The DMABUF can do the same thing, but
with it is promising to be a properly-designed API. If I can
successfully test this series and be happy with it, I should be
asking you to pull them next week."

Pull ADM Xen support from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
Features:
* Allow a Linux guest to boot as initial domain and as normal guests
on Xen on ARM (specifically ARMv7 with virtualized extensions). PV
console, block and network frontend/backends are working.
Bug-fixes:
* Fix compile linux-next fallout.
* Fix PVHVM bootup crashing.
The Xen-unstable hypervisor (so will be 4.3 in a ~6 months), supports
ARMv7 platforms.
The goal in implementing this architecture is to exploit the hardware
as much as possible. That means use as little as possible of PV
operations (so no PV MMU) - and use existing PV drivers for I/Os
(network, block, console, etc). This is similar to how PVHVM guests
operate in X86 platform nowadays - except that on ARM there is no need
for QEMU. The end result is that we share a lot of the generic Xen
drivers and infrastructure.
Details on how to compile/boot/etc are available at this Wiki:
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_ARMv7_with_Virtualization_Extensions
and this blog has links to a technical discussion/presentations on the
overall architecture:

The old area has a new URL. Also, now that the driver can perform better,
it is worth mentioning the VM settings that help aoe to sink dirty pages
out early, avoiding unecessary memory pressure when much I/O is going on.

outgoing networking traffic. This benefits processes that have very
many mostly idle sockets, which is quite common.
From Eric Dumazet.
10) Use up to 32K for page fragment allocations, with fallbacks to
smaller sizes when higher order page allocations fail. Benefits are
a) less segments for driver to process b) less calls to page
allocator c) less waste of space.
From Eric Dumazet.
