Merge remote branch 'origin' into secretlab/next-devicetree
Merging in current state of Linus' tree to deal with merge conflicts and build failures in vio.c after merge. Conflicts: drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-cpm.c drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-mpc.c drivers/net/gianfar.c Also fixed up one line in arch/powerpc/kernel/vio.c to use the correct node pointer.

+NAME
+----
+perf-inject - Filter to augment the events stream with additional information
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'perf inject <options>'
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+perf-inject reads a perf-record event stream and repipes it to stdout. At any
+point the processing code can inject other events into the event stream - in
+this case build-ids (-b option) are read and injected as needed into the event
+stream.
+
+Build-ids are just the first user of perf-inject - potentially anything that
+needs userspace processing to augment the events stream with additional
+information could make use of this facility.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-b::
+--build-ids=::
+ Inject build-ids into the output stream
+-v::
+--verbose::
+ Be more verbose.
