9fd49328fc ftrace: Sort all function addresses, not just per page
Instead of just sorting the ip's of the functions per ftrace page,
sort the entire list before adding them to the ftrace pages.

This will allow the bsearch algorithm to be sped up as it can
also sort by pages, not just records within a page.

127f559127 netfilter: ipset: fix timeout value overflow bug
Large timeout parameters could result wrong timeout values due to
an overflow at msec to jiffies conversion (reported by Andreas Herz)

[ This patch was mangled by Pablo Neira Ayuso since David Laight and
  Eric Dumazet noticed that we were using hardcoded 1000 instead of
  MSEC_PER_SEC to calculate the timeout ]

1f27e2516c netfilter: xt_hashlimit: use _ALL macro to reject unknown flag bits
David Miller says:
     The canonical way to validate if the set bits are in a valid
     range is to have a "_ALL" macro, and test:
     if (val & ~XT_HASHLIMIT_ALL)
         goto err;"

8011652957 Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Pull networking tree from David Miller:

1) ptp_pch driver build broke during this merge window due to missing
   slab.h header, fix from Geery Uytterhoeven.

2) If ipset passes in a bogus hash table size we crash because the size
   is not validated properly.  Compounding this, gcc-4.7 can miscompile
   ipset such that even when the user specifies legitimate parameters
   the tool passes in an out-of-range size to the kernel.

   Fix from Jozsef Kadlecsik.

3) Users have reported that the netdev watchdog can trigger with pch_gbe
   devices, and it turns out this is happening because of races in the
   TX path of the driver leading to the transmitter hanging.  Fix from
   Eric Dumazet, reported and tested by Andy Cress.

4) Novatel USB551L devices match the generic class entries for the cdc
   ethernet USB driver, but they don't work because they have generic
   descriptors and thus need FLAG_WWAN to function properly.

   Add the necessary ID table entry to fix this, from Dan Williams.

5) A recursive locking fix in the USBNET driver added a new problem, in
   that packet list traversal is now racy and we can thus access
   unlinked SKBs and crash.

   Avoid this situation by adding some extra state tracking, from Ming
   Lei.

6) The rtlwifi conversion to asynchronous firmware loading is racy, fix
   by reordering the probe procedure.  From Larry Finger.

   Fixes: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43187

7) Fix regressions with bluetooth keyboards by notifying userland
   properly when the security level changes, from Gustavo Padovan.

8) Bluetooth needs to make sure device connected events are emitted
   before other kinds of events, otherwise userspace will think there is
   no baseband link yet and therefore abort the sockets associated with
   that connection.

865ec5523d fq_codel: should use qdisc backlog as threshold
codel_should_drop() logic allows a packet being not dropped if queue
size is under max packet size.

In fq_codel, we have two possible backlogs : The qdisc global one, and
the flow local one.

The meaningful one for codel_should_drop() should be the global backlog,
not the per flow one, so that thin flows can have a non zero drop/mark
probability.

0afd7ad9de mac802154: basic ieee802.15.4 device structures
The IEEE 802.15.4 Working Group focuses on the standardization of the
bottom two layers of ISO/OSI protocol stack: Physical (PHY) and MAC.
The MAC layer provides access control to a shared channel and reliable
data delivery. The main functions performed by the MAC sublayer are:
association and disassociation, security control, optional star
network topology functions, such as beacon generation and Guaranteed
Time Slots (GTSs) management, generation of ACK frames (if used), and,
finally, application support for the two possible network topologies
described in the standard.

This is an initial commit which describes main data structures needed
for ieee802.15.4 compatible devices representation in the MAC layer.

a6a5568c03 Bluetooth: Lock the L2CAP channel when sending
The ERTM and streaming mode transmit queue must only be accessed while
the L2CAP channel lock is held.  Locking the channel before calling
l2cap_chan_send ensures that multiple threads cannot simultaneously
manipulate the queue when sending and receiving concurrently.

L2CAP channel locking had previously moved to the l2cap_chan struct
instead of the associated socket, so some of the old socket locking
can also be removed in this patch.

c142786c62 KVM: MMU: Don't use RCU for lockless shadow walking
Using RCU for lockless shadow walking can increase the amount of memory
in use by the system, since RCU grace periods are unpredictable.  We also
have an unconditional write to a shared variable (reader_counter), which
isn't good for scaling.

Replace that with a scheme similar to x86's get_user_pages_fast(): disable
interrupts during lockless shadow walk to force the freer
(kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page()) to wait for the TLB flush IPI to find the
processor with interrupts enabled.

We also add a new vcpu->mode, READING_SHADOW_PAGE_TABLES, to prevent
kvm_flush_remote_tlbs() from avoiding the IPI.

d0cad88d07 Merge branch 'for-davem' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless
John Linville says:

Here are three more fixes that some of my developers are desperate to
see included in 3.4...

Johan Hedberg went to some length justifyng the inclusion of these two
Bluetooth fixes:

"The device_connected fix should be quite self-explanatory, but it's
actually a wider issue than just for keyboards. All profiles that do
incoming connection authorization (e.g. headsets) will break without it
with specific hardware. The reason it wasn't caught earlier is that it
only occurs with specific Bluetooth adapters.

As for the security level patch, this fixes L2CAP socket based security
level elevation during a connection. The HID profile needs this (for
keyboards) and it is the only way to achieve the security level
elevation when using the management interface to talk to the kernel
(hence the management enabling patch being the one that exposes this"

The rtlwifi fix addresses a regression related to firmware loading,
as described in kernel.org bug 43187.  It basically just moves a hunk
of code to a more appropriate place.

fd2cbd4dfa jbd: Write journal superblock with WRITE_FUA after checkpointing
If journal superblock is written only in disk's caches and other transaction
starts reusing space of the transaction cleaned from the log, it can happen
blocks of a new transaction reach the disk before journal superblock. When
power failure happens in such case, subsequent journal replay would still try
to replay the old transaction but some of it's blocks may be already
overwritten by the new transaction. For this reason we must use WRITE_FUA when
updating log tail and we must first write new log tail to disk and update
in-memory information only after that.
