Pull NFS client updates from Trond Myklebust:
 "Highlights include:

   - Fix NFSv4 recovery so that it doesn't recover lost locks in cases
     such as lease loss due to a network partition, where doing so may
     result in data corruption.  Add a kernel parameter to control
     choice of legacy behaviour or not.
   - Performance improvements when 2 processes are writing to the same
     file.
   - Flush data to disk when an RPCSEC_GSS session timeout is imminent.
   - Implement NFSv4.1 SP4_MACH_CRED state protection to prevent other
     NFS clients from being able to manipulate our lease and file
     locking state.
   - Allow sharing of RPCSEC_GSS caches between different rpc clients.
   - Fix the broken NFSv4 security auto-negotiation between client and
     server.
   - Fix rmdir() to wait for outstanding sillyrename unlinks to complete
   - Add a tracepoint framework for debugging NFSv4 state recovery
     issues.
   - Add tracing to the generic NFS layer.
   - Add tracing for the SUNRPC socket connection state.
   - Clean up the rpc_pipefs mount/umount event management.
   - Merge more patches from Chuck in preparation for NFSv4 migration
     support"

Rename the new 'recover_locks' kernel parameter to 'recover_lost_locks'
and change the default to 'false'. Document why in
Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

Move the 'recover_lost_locks' kernel parameter to fs/nfs/super.c to
make it easy to backport to kernels prior to 3.6.x, which don't have
a separate NFSv4 module.

 1) ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) subsystem rework and introduction
    of Intel Thunderbolt support on systems that use ACPI for signalling
    Thunderbolt hotplug events.  This also should make ACPIPHP work in
    some cases in which it was known to have problems.  From
    Rafael J Wysocki, Mika Westerberg and Kirill A Shutemov.

 2) ACPI core code cleanups and dock station support cleanups from
    Jiang Liu and Rafael J Wysocki.

 3) Fixes for locking problems related to ACPI device hotplug from
    Rafael J Wysocki.

 4) ACPICA update to version 20130725 includig fixes, cleanups, support
    for more than 256 GPEs per GPE block and a change to make the ACPI
    PM Timer optional (we've seen systems without the PM Timer in the
    field already).  One of the fixes, related to the DeRefOf operator,
    is necessary to prevent some Windows 8 oriented AML from causing
    problems to happen.  From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, and Jung-uk Kim.

 5) Removal of the old and long deprecated /proc/acpi/event interface
    and related driver changes from Thomas Renninger.

 6) ACPI and Xen changes to make the reduced hardware sleep work with
    the latter from Ben Guthro.

 7) ACPI video driver cleanups and a blacklist of systems that should
    not tell the BIOS that they are compatible with Windows 8 (or ACPI
    backlight and possibly other things will not work on them).  From
    Felipe Contreras.

    Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan, Lan Tianyu, Sachin Kamat, Tang Chen,
    Toshi Kani, and Wei Yongjun.

 9) cpufreq ondemand governor target frequency selection change to
    reduce oscillations between min and max frequencies (essentially,
    it causes the governor to choose target frequencies proportional
    to load) from Stratos Karafotis.

10) cpufreq fixes allowing sysfs attributes file permissions to be
    preserved over suspend/resume cycles Srivatsa S Bhat.

11) Removal of Device Tree parsing for CPU device nodes from multiple

The swapaccount kernel parameter without any values has been removed by

it seems that we didn't get rid of all the left overs.

Make sure that menuconfig help text and kernel-parameters.txt are clear
about value for the paramter and remove the stalled comment which is not
very much useful on its own.

The virtual console has (undocumented) module parameters to set the
colors for italic and underlined text, but the default text color was
hardcoded for some reason.  This made it impossible to change the color
for startup messages, or to set the default for new virtual consoles.
Add a module parameter for that, and document the entire bunch.

Any hacker who thinks that a command prompt on a "black screen with
white font" is not supicious enough can now use the kernel parameter
vt.color=10 to get a nice, evil green.

This patch changes the "acpi_osi=" boot parameter implementation so
that:
1. "acpi_osi=!" can be used to disable all _OSI OS vendor strings by
   default.  It is meaningless to specify "acpi_osi=!" multiple
   times as it can only affect the default state of the target _OSI
   strings.
2. "acpi_osi=!*" can be used to remove all _OSI OS vendor strings
   and all _OSI feature group strings.  It is useful to specify
   "acpi_osi=!*" multiple times through kernel command line to
   override the current state of the target _OSI strings.

This patch introduces "acpi_osi=!" command line to force Linux replying
"UNSUPPORTED" to all of the _OSI strings.  This patch is based on an
ACPICA enhancement - the new API acpi_update_interfaces().

The _OSI object provides the platform with the ability to query OSPM
to determine the set of ACPI related interfaces, behaviors, or
features that the operating system supports.  The argument passed to
the _OSI is a string like the followings:
1. Feature Group String, examples include
   Module Device
   Processor Device
   3.0 _SCP Extensions
   Processor Aggregator Device
   ...
2. OS Vendor String, examples include
   Linux
   FreeBSD
   Windows
   ...

There are AML codes provided in the ACPI namespace written in the
following style to determine OSPM interfaces / features:
    Method(OSCK)
    {
        if (CondRefOf(_OSI, Local0))
        {
            if (\_OSI("Windows"))
            {
                Return (One)
            }
            if (\_OSI("Windows 2006"))
            {
                Return (Ones)
            }
            Return (Zero)
        }
        Return (Zero)
    }

There is a debugging facility implemented in Linux.  Users can pass
"acpi_osi=" boot parameters to the kernel to tune the _OSI evaluation
result so that certain AML codes can be executed.  Current
implementation includes:
1. 'acpi_osi=' - this makes CondRefOf(_OSI, Local0) TRUE
2. 'acpi_osi="Windows"' - this makes \_OSI("Windows") TRUE
3. 'acpi_osi="!Windows"' - this makes \_OSI("Windows") FALSE
The function to implement this feature is also used as a quirk mechanism
in the Linux ACPI subystem.

When _OSI is evaluatated by the AML codes, ACPICA replies "SUPPORTED"
to all Windows operating system vendor strings.  This is because
Windows operating systems return "SUPPORTED" if the argument to the
_OSI method specifies an earlier version of Windows.  Please refer to
the following MSDN document:

How to Identify the Windows Version in ACPI by Using _OSI
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hardware/gg463275.aspx

This adds difficulties when developers want to feed specific Windows
operating system vendor string to the BIOS codes for debugging
purpose, multiple acpi_osi="!xxx" have to be specified in the command
line to force Linux replying "UNSUPPORTED" to the Windows OS vendor
strings listed in the AML codes.

Pull tracing changes from Steven Rostedt:
 "The majority of the changes here are cleanups for the large changes
  that were added to 3.10, which includes several bug fixes that have
  been marked for stable.

  As for new features, there were a few, but nothing to write to LWN
  about.  These include:

  New function trigger called "dump" and "cpudump" that will cause
  ftrace to dump its buffer to the console when the function is called.
  The difference between "dump" and "cpudump" is that "dump" will dump
  the entire contents of the ftrace buffer, where as "cpudump" will only
  dump the contents of the ftrace buffer for the CPU that called the
  function.

  Another small enhancement is a new sysctl switch called
  "traceoff_on_warning" which, when enabled, will disable tracing if any
  WARN_ON() is triggered.  This is useful if you want to debug what
  caused a warning and do not want to risk losing your trace data by the
  ring buffer overwriting the data before you can disable it.  There's
  also a kernel command line option that will make this enabled at boot
  up called the same thing"
