Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
"New features for 3.12:
- Added aggressive extent caching using the extent status tree. This
can actually decrease memory usage in read-mostly workloads since
the information is much more compactly stored in the extent status
tree than if we had to keep the extent tree metadata blocks in the
buffer cache. This also improves Asynchronous I/O since it is it
makes much less likely that we need to do metadata I/O to lookup
the extent tree information.
- Improve the recovery after corrupted allocation bitmaps are found
when running in errors=ignore mode.
Also fixed some writeback vs truncate races when using a blocksize
less than the page size"

Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
"Changes are seen in a wide range of codes, mainly due to ASoC DAPM
requirements; HD-audio shows a high peak in diffstat, it's just a
removal of bunch of old static quirks.
Some highlights:
- HDPM: Updates for AIO/RayDAT support, TCO/sync support
- RME96: Add PCM sync support
- HD-audio:
* A few HDMI/DP audio updates (CA assignment fix, stream switching
fix, Intel DP device list support)
* Device specific fixes (ASUS/CXT HP mic support, Thinkpad mic
improvements, Chromebook fixes, STAC9228 Dell fixes)
* Replace the all static quirks for AD codecs with the generic
parser
* WAKEEN support for handling irqs in the power saving mode
- USB-audio: Clean up implicit fb handling and related codes
- DAPM is now mandatory for ASoC CODEC drivers; all existing drivers
have had some level of DAPM support added. In addition, a lot of
cleanups and improvements in DAPM.
- Support for ASoC cross-platform compile test
- New drivers and support for Analog Devices ADAU1702 and
ADAU1401(a), Asahi Kasei Microdevices AK4554, Atmel AT91ASM9x5 and

Pull pin control changes from Linus Walleij:
"Here is the bulk of pin control changes for the v3.12 series. Most of
the relevant information is in the tag.
I merged in v3.11-rc7 last week to get rid of a largeish conflict
within the sunxi (AllWinner) driver in linux-next and fix up the
non-trivial merge the right way. That driver had a rather large fix
adding locking late in the release cycle.
Overall the bulk changes this time is cleanups and refactorings and
not much new features, which is nice.
- Refactorings for generic pin config handling in the core.
- Factor out a set of device tree utilities for use in all drivers,
to parse and allocate maps from the device tree.
- Some fixes to the core such as more nitpicky locking.
- Pushed down config array iteration into the drivers.
This patch is necessary for drivers that want to iterate over
configs and pile up a stack of alterations to the same register(s),
or if the driver wants to take a local spinlock when committing the
configuration.
- A new driver for the Texas Instruments Palmas PMIC by Laxman
Dewangan. This is used on the Tegra systems.
- A major cleanup and modernization of the PFC (Super Hitachi and ARM
SHmobile) pin controller and subdrivers.
- Support for the A20 and A31 sunxi (AllWinner) SoCs.
- A huge pile of fixes and cleanups: Axel Lin, Jingoo Han Dan
Carpenter, Julia Lawall and Sachin Kamat did an excellent job here"

Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Main RCU changes this cycle were:
- Full-system idle detection. This is for use by Frederic
Weisbecker's adaptive-ticks mechanism. Its purpose is to allow the
timekeeping CPU to shut off its tick when all other CPUs are idle.
- Miscellaneous fixes.
- Improved rcutorture test coverage.
- Updated RCU documentation"
* 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (30 commits)

Pull pwm changes from Thierry Reding:
"A set of patches makes the device tree documentation for the various
PWM drivers more consistent. Device tree support is added to the
Renesas TPU driver. The sysfs interface now makes use of dev_groups.
Other than that there is a healthy assortment of fixes and
enhancements for minor issues that have shown up"
