Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-3.12-rc0-tag-two' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip Pull Xen bug-fixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk: "This pull I usually do after rc1 is out but because we have a nice amount of fixes, some bootup related fixes for ARM, and it is early in the cycle we figured to do it now to help with tracking of potential regressions. The simple ones are the ARM ones - one of the patches fell through the cracks, other fixes a bootup issue (unconditionally using Xen functions). Then a fix for a regression causing preempt count being off (patch causing this went in v3.12). Lastly are the fixes to make Xen PVHVM guests use PV ticketlocks (Xen PV already does). The enablement of that was supposed to be part of the x86 spinlock merge in commit 816434ec ("The biggest change here are paravirtualized ticket spinlocks (PV spinlocks), which bring a nice speedup on various benchmarks...") but unfortunatly it would cause hang when booting Xen PVHVM guests. Yours truly got all of the bugs fixed last week and they (six of them) are included in this pull. Bug-fixes: - Boot on ARM without using Xen unconditionally - On Xen ARM don't run cpuidle/cpufreq - Fix regression in balloon driver, preempt count warnings - Fixes to make PVHVM able to use pv ticketlock. - Revert Xen PVHVM disabling pv ticketlock (aka, re-enable pv ticketlocks)" * tag 'stable/for-linus-3.12-rc0-tag-two' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip: xen/spinlock: Don't use __initdate for xen_pv_spin Revert "xen/spinlock: Disable IRQ spinlock (PV) allocation on PVHVM" xen/spinlock: Don't setup xen spinlock IPI kicker if disabled. xen/smp: Update pv_lock_ops functions before alternative code starts under PVHVM xen/spinlock: We don't need the old structure anymore xen/spinlock: Fix locking path engaging too soon under PVHVM. xen/arm: disable cpuidle and cpufreq when linux is running as dom0 xen/p2m: Don't call get_balloon_scratch_page() twice, keep interrupts disabled for multicalls ARM: xen: only set pm function ptrs for Xen guests
