Merge branch 'percpu-for-linus' into percpu-for-next
Conflicts: arch/sparc/kernel/smp_64.c arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_counter.c arch/x86/kernel/setup_percpu.c drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_ondemand.c mm/percpu.c Conflicts in core and arch percpu codes are mostly from commit ed78e1e078dd44249f88b1dd8c76dafb39567161 which substituted many num_possible_cpus() with nr_cpu_ids. As for-next branch has moved all the first chunk allocators into mm/percpu.c, the changes are moved from arch code to mm/percpu.c. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

+config NILFS2_FS
+ tristate "NILFS2 file system support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
+ depends on BLOCK && EXPERIMENTAL
+ select CRC32
+ help
+ NILFS2 is a log-structured file system (LFS) supporting continuous
+ snapshotting. In addition to versioning capability of the entire
+ file system, users can even restore files mistakenly overwritten or
+ destroyed just a few seconds ago. Since this file system can keep
+ consistency like conventional LFS, it achieves quick recovery after
+ system crashes.
+
+ NILFS2 creates a number of checkpoints every few seconds or per
+ synchronous write basis (unless there is no change). Users can
+ select significant versions among continuously created checkpoints,
+ and can change them into snapshots which will be preserved for long
+ periods until they are changed back to checkpoints. Each
+ snapshot is mountable as a read-only file system concurrently with
+ its writable mount, and this feature is convenient for online backup.
+
+ Some features including atime, extended attributes, and POSIX ACLs,
+ are not supported yet.
+
+ To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
+ module will be called nilfs2. If unsure, say N.
