I pulled this a week ago into my devel-testing (which is unpublished),
and while it hasn't shown any signs of functional problems, I was just
about to merge it into devel-stable when I noticed the history.

This is based upon:

Merge branch 'for-next' of git://git.samba.org/sfrench/cifs-2.6
+ Linux 3.11
+ Merge branch 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
+ Linux 3.12-rc5
+ Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
+ Linux 3.13-rc3
+ Linux 3.13-rc4
+ Linux 3.13-rc8
+ Linux 3.14-rc2
+ Linux 3.14-rc4
+ Linux 3.14-rc5

[your uprobes patches]

where each + is a merge of the named commit into the previous.  This is
the kind of thing which will make Linus quite unhappy: please base
patches off a plain -rc release, not off a merge commit.

I'm sure there's others on the mailing list who can guide you on this
point, but I do need to ask you to re-spin without those merges.  I'm
happy to take a respin of it provided it's based on 3.14-rc5 (so I can
more easily confirm that there aren't any changes which I haven't
already tested.)

Thanks, and sorry about the lateness of this email.
