Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
"Updates for IRQ stacks and virtually mapped stack support, and ftrace:
- Support for IRQ and vmap'ed stacks
This covers all the work related to implementing IRQ stacks and
vmap'ed stacks for all 32-bit ARM systems that are currently
supported by the Linux kernel, including RiscPC and Footbridge. It
has been submitted for review in four different waves:
- IRQ stacks support for v7 SMP systems [0]
- vmap'ed stacks support for v7 SMP systems[1]
- extending support for both IRQ stacks and vmap'ed stacks for all
remaining configurations, including v6/v7 SMP multiplatform
kernels and uniprocessor configurations including v7-M [2]
- fixes and updates in [3]
- ftrace fixes and cleanups
Make all flavors of ftrace available on all builds, regardless of
ISA choice, unwinder choice or compiler [4]:
- use ADD not POP where possible
- fix a couple of Thumb2 related issues
- enable HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FP_TEST for robustness
- enable the graph tracer with the EABI unwinder
- avoid clobbering frame pointer registers to make Clang happy
- Fixes for the above"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
