ASoC: fixes for 3.4

A bunch of driver-specific fixes and one generic fix for the new support
for platform DAPM contexts - we were picking the wrong default for the
idle_bias_off setting which was meaning we weren't actually achieving
any useful runtime PM on platform devices.

Merge branch 'for-3.5' of ../cgroup into block/for-3.5/core-merged

cgroup/for-3.5 contains the following changes which blk-cgroup needs
to proceed with the on-going cleanup.

* Dynamic addition and removal of cftypes to make config/stat file
handling modular for policies.

* cgroup removal update to not wait for css references to drain to fix
blkcg removal hang caused by cfq caching cfqgs.

Pull in cgroup/for-3.5 into block/for-3.5/core. This causes the
following conflicts in block/blk-cgroup.c.

* 761b3ef50e "cgroup: remove cgroup_subsys argument from callbacks"
conflicts with blkiocg_pre_destroy() addition and blkiocg_attach()
removal. Resolved by removing @subsys from all subsys methods.

* 676f7c8f84 "cgroup: relocate cftype and cgroup_subsys definitions in
controllers" conflicts with ->pre_destroy() and ->attach() updates
and removal of modular config. Resolved by dropping forward
declarations of the methods and applying updates to the relocated
blkio_subsys.

* 4baf6e3325 "cgroup: convert all non-memcg controllers to the new
cftype interface" builds upon the previous item. Resolved by adding
->base_cftypes to the relocated blkio_subsys.

Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull perf events changes for v3.4 from Ingo Molnar:

- New "hardware based branch profiling" feature both on the kernel and
the tooling side, on CPUs that support it. (modern x86 Intel CPUs
with the 'LBR' hardware feature currently.)

This new feature is basically a sophisticated 'magnifying glass' for
branch execution - something that is pretty difficult to extract from
regular, function histogram centric profiles.

The simplest mode is activated via 'perf record -b', and the result
looks like this in perf report:

$ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy

$ perf report -b --sort=symbol
52.34% [.] main [.] f1
24.04% [.] f1 [.] f3
23.60% [.] f1 [.] f2
0.01% [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn [k] _IO_file_overflow
0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn
0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] strchrnul
0.01% [k] __printf [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal
0.01% [k] main [k] __printf

This output shows from/to branch columns and shows the highest
percentage (from,to) jump combinations - i.e. the most likely taken
branches in the system. "branches" can also include function calls
and any other synchronous and asynchronous transitions of the
instruction pointer that are not 'next instruction' - such as system
calls, traps, interrupts, etc.

This feature comes with (hopefully intuitive) flat ascii and TUI
support in perf report.

- Various 'perf annotate' visual improvements for us assembly junkies.
It will now recognize function calls in the TUI and by hitting enter
you can follow the call (recursively) and back, amongst other
improvements.

- Multiple threads/processes recording support in perf record, perf
stat, perf top - which is activated via a comma-list of PIDs:

perf top -p 21483,21485
perf stat -p 21483,21485 -ddd
perf record -p 21483,21485

- Support for per UID views, via the --uid paramter to perf top, perf
report, etc. For example 'perf top --uid mingo' will only show the
tasks that I am running, excluding other users, root, etc.

- Jump label restructurings and improvements - this includes the
factoring out of the (hopefully much clearer) include/linux/static_key.h
generic facility:

struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE;

...

if (static_key_false(&key))
do unlikely code
else
do likely code

...
static_key_slow_inc();
...
static_key_slow_inc();
...

The static_key_false() branch will be generated into the code with as
little impact to the likely code path as possible. the
static_key_slow_*() APIs flip the branch via live kernel code patching.

This facility can now be used more widely within the kernel to
micro-optimize hot branches whose likelihood matches the static-key
usage and fast/slow cost patterns.

- SW function tracer improvements: perf support and filtering support.

- Various hardenings of the perf.data ABI, to make older perf.data's
smoother on newer tool versions, to make new features integrate more
smoothly, to support cross-endian recording/analyzing workflows
better, etc.

- Restructuring of the kprobes code, the splitting out of 'optprobes',
and a corner case bugfix.

- Allow the tracing of kernel console output (printk).

- Improvements/fixes to user-space RDPMC support, allowing user-space
self-profiling code to extract PMU counts without performing any
system calls, while playing nice with the kernel side.

- 'perf bench' improvements

- ... and lots of internal restructurings, cleanups and fixes that made
these features possible. And, as usual this list is incomplete as
there were also lots of other improvements

NOTE!

This merge commit was created to fix compilation error. The block
tree was merged upstream and removed the 'elv_queue_empty()'
function which the new 'mtdswap' driver is using. So a simple
merge of the mtd tree with upstream does not compile. And the
mtd tree has already be published, so re-basing it is not an option.

To fix this unfortunate situation, I had to merge upstream into the
mtd-2.6.git tree without committing, put the fixup patch on top of
this, and then commit this. The result is that we do not have commits
which do not compile.

In other words, this merge commit "merges" 3 things: the MTD tree, the
upstream tree, and the fixup patch.
