Pull x86 LTO changes from Peter Anvin:
"More infrastructure work in preparation for link-time optimization
(LTO). Most of these changes is to make sure symbols accessed from
assembly code are properly marked as visible so the linker doesn't
remove them.
My understanding is that the changes to support LTO are still not
upstream in binutils, but are on the way there. This patchset should
conclude the x86-specific changes, and remaining patches to actually
enable LTO will be fed through the Kbuild tree (other than keeping up
with changes to the x86 code base, of course), although not
necessarily in this merge window"

Pull ARM fixes from Russell King:
"A number of ARM updates for -rc, covering mostly ARM specific code,
but with one change to modpost.c to allow Thumb section mismatches to
be detected.
ARM changes include reporting when an attempt is made to boot a LPAE
kernel on hardware which does not support LPAE, rather than just being
silent about it.
A number of other minor fixes are included too"
* 'fixes' of git://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm:
ARM: 7992/1: boot: compressed: ignore bswapsdi2.S
ARM: 7991/1: sa1100: fix compile problem on Collie
ARM: fix noMMU kallsyms symbol filtering
ARM: 7980/1: kernel: improve error message when LPAE config doesn't match CPU
ARM: 7964/1: Detect section mismatches in thumb relocations
ARM: 7963/1: mm: report both sections from PMD
Currently symbols that are absolute addresses are incorrectly displayed
in /proc/kallsyms if the kernel is loaded with kASLR.
The problem was that the scripts/kallsyms.c file which generates the
array of symbol names and addresses uses an relocatable value for all
symbols, even absolute symbols. This patch fixes that.
Several kallsyms output in different boot states for comparison:

LZ4 as implemented in the kernel differs from the default method now
used by the reference implementation of LZ4. Until the in-kernel method
is updated to support the new default, passing the legacy flag (-l) to
the compressor is necessary. Without this flag the kernel-generated,
LZ4-compressed initramfs is junk.
Kyungsik said:

The testcase data is usable by any platform. This patch moves it into
the drivers/of directory so it can be included by any architecture.
Using the test cases requires manually adding #include <testcases.dtsi>
to the end of the boards .dtsi file and enabling CONFIG_OF_SELFTEST. Not
pretty though. A useful project would be to make the testcase code
easier to execute.

The x86 CPU feature modalias handling existed before it was reimplemented
generically. This patch aligns the x86 handling so that it
(a) reuses some more code that is now generic;
(b) uses the generic format for the modalias module metadata entry, i.e., it
now uses 'cpu:type:x86,venVVVVfamFFFFmodMMMM:feature:,XXXX,YYYY' instead of
the 'x86cpu:vendor:VVVV:family:FFFF:model:MMMM:feature:,XXXX,YYYY' that was
used before.

This patch adds support for advertising optional CPU features over udev
using the modalias, and for declaring compatibility with/dependency upon
such a feature in a module.
The mapping between feature numbers and actual features should be provided
by the architecture in a file called <asm/cpufeature.h> which exports the
following functions/macros:
- cpu_feature(FEAT), a preprocessor macro that maps token FEAT to a
numeric index;
- bool cpu_have_feature(n), returning whether this CPU has support for
feature #n;
- MAX_CPU_FEATURES, an upper bound for 'n' in the previous function.
The feature can then be enabled by setting CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU_AUTOPROBE
for the architecture.
For instance, a module that registers its module init function using
module_cpu_feature_match(FEAT_X, module_init_function)
will be probed automatically when the CPU's support for the 'FEAT_X'
feature is advertised over udev, and will only allow the module to be
loaded by hand if the 'FEAT_X' feature is supported.

Commit afe2dab4f6 ("USB: add hex/bcd detection to usb modalias generation")
changed the routine that generates alias ranges. Before that change, only
digits 0-9 were supported; the commit tried to fix the case when the range
includes higher values than 0x9.
Unfortunately, the commit didn't fix the case when the range includes both
0x9 and 0xA, meaning that the final range must look like [x-9A-y] where
x <= 0x9 and y >= 0xA -- instead the [x-9A-x] range was produced.
Modprobe doesn't complain as it sees no difference between no-match and
bad-pattern results of fnmatch().
Fixing this simple bug to fix the aliases.
Also changing the hardcoded beginning of the range to uppercase as all the
other letters are also uppercase in the device version numbers.
Fortunately, this affects only the dvb-usb-dib0700 module, AFAIK.
