So I have a couple of nits about the commits:

1)

Please use the following standard tags/prefixes:

   tools/liblockdep: Fix initialization code path
   ...

and also capitalize sentences properly.

2)

Faulty SOB sequences:

 Author: Ira W. Snyder <iws@...o.caltech.edu>
 Date:   Fri Jan 31 13:35:32 2014 -0800

    tools: lockdep: add include directory to allow tests to compile

    Acked-by: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@...cle.com>
    Signed-off-by: Ira W. Snyder <iws@...o.caltech.edu>


That's not how we do signoffs, maintainer commits should be:

	Signed-off-by: Ira W. Snyder <iws@...o.caltech.edu>
	Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@...cle.com>


As a side note, that's not a valid Ack sequence either, which if done 
should be the other way around:

    Signed-off-by: Ira W. Snyder <iws@...o.caltech.edu>
    Acked-by: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@...cle.com>

3)

It's not clear which patch you are referring to here:

    This patch mirrors the fix used for perf, titled "tools: perf: 
    util: fix include for non x86 architectures".

It's neither in the series, nor in upstream.

Thanks,

	Ingo
