Pull ftrace test code from Steven Rostedt:
 "This patch series starts a new selftests section in the
  tools/testing/selftest directory called "ftrace" that holds tests
  aimed at testing ftrace and subsystems that use ftrace (like kprobes).

  So far only a few tests were written (by Masami Hiramatsu), but more
  will be added in the near future (3.19)"

* tag 'ftracetest-3.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
  tracing/kprobes: Add selftest scripts testing kprobe-tracer as startup test
  ftracetest: Add POSIX.3 standard and XFAIL result codes
  ftracetest: Add kprobe basic testcases
  ftracetest: Add ftrace basic testcases
  ftracetest: Initial commit for ftracetest

Pull ktest update from Steven Rostedt:
 "A fix and a clean up to ktest, as well as two small features.

   - A way to allow users to skip a manual bisect.
   - Allowing cherry picked patches to be tested.

  The cherry pick worked for a test I needed, but stressing it may not
  have all the desired effects.  It doesn't cause any regressions so I
  kept it in"

* tag 'ktest-v3.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-ktest:
  ktest: Don't bother with bisect good or bad on replay
  ktest: Fix check for new kernel success on rebooting to good kernel
  ktest: add ability to skip during BISECT_MANUAL
  ktest: Add PATCHCHECK_CHERRY

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Here's a first pull request for powerpc updates for 3.18.

  The bulk of the additions are for the "cxl" driver, for IBM's Coherent
  Accelerator Processor Interface (CAPI).  Most of it's in drivers/misc,
  which Greg & Arnd maintain, Greg said he was happy for us to take it
  through our tree.

  There's the usual minor cleanups and fixes, including a bit of noise
  in drivers from some of those.  A bunch of updates to our EEH code,
  which has been getting more testing.  Several nice speedups from
  Anton, including 20% in clear_page().

  And a bunch of updates for freescale from Scott"

This tool induces memory fragmentation via sequential allocation of
transparent huge pages and splitting off everything except their last
sub-pages.  It easily generates pressure to the memory compaction code.

Add two selftest scripts which tests kprobe-tracer as the startup
selftest does.
These test cases are testing that the kprobe_event can accept a
kprobe event with $stack related arguments and a kretprobe event
with $retval argument.

If git bisect reply is being used in the bisect tests, don't bother
doing the git bisect good or git bisect bad calls. The git bisect
reply will override them anyway, and that's called immediately
after the other two. Going the git bisect (good|bad) is just a
waste of time.

The reboot function when rebooting back to a good kernel has a check
to make sure that a new kernel was indeed booted. But that check
uses a timeout value, which when calling the monitor will still
return success if the timeout is hit (no bug was found). It should
return an error to let the reboot code know that a new kernel was
not reached. Only the reboot code checks the return value of the
monitor.
