Note, there's a new PARISC build failure:

 home/mingo/tip/kernel/events/core.c:2858:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'modify_user_hw_breakpoint_check' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
   err = modify_user_hw_breakpoint_check(bp, attr, true);

will only be able to push it out to -next once this is fixed.

Thanks,
