4dd3c95940 asm-generic/unistd.h: handle symbol prefixes in cond_syscall
Some architectures have symbol prefixes and set CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX,
but this wasn't taken into account by the generic cond_syscall. It's
easy enough to fix in a generic fashion, so add the symbol prefix to
symbol names in cond_syscall when CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set.

Pull new ARC architecture from Vineet Gupta:
 "Initial ARC Linux port with some fixes on top for 3.9-rc1:

  I would like to introduce the Linux port to ARC Processors (from
  Synopsys) for 3.9-rc1.  The patch-set has been discussed on the public
  lists since Nov and has received a fair bit of review, specially from
  Arnd, tglx, Al and other subsystem maintainers for DeviceTree, kgdb...

  The arch bits are in arch/arc, some asm-generic changes (acked by
  Arnd), a minor change to PARISC (acked by Helge).

  The series is a touch bigger for a new port for 2 main reasons:

   1. It enables a basic kernel in first sub-series and adds
      ptrace/kgdb/.. later

   2. Some of the fallout of review (DeviceTree support, multi-platform-
      image support) were added on top of orig series, primarily to
      record the revision history.

  This updated pull request additionally contains

   - fixes due to our GNU tools catching up with the new syscall/ptrace
     ABI

   - some (minor) cross-arch Kconfig updates."

Pull ARM SoC cleanups from Arnd Bergmann:
 "A large number of cleanups, all over the platforms.  This is dominated
  largely by the Samsung platforms (s3c, s5p, exynos) and a few of the
  others moving code out of arch/arm into more appropriate subsystems.

  The clocksource and irqchip drivers are now abstracted to the point
  where platforms that are already cleaned up do not need to even
  specify the driver they use, it can all get configured from the device
  tree as we do for normal device drivers.  The clocksource changes
  basically touch every single platform in the process.

  We further clean up the use of platform specific header files here,
  with the goal of turning more of the platforms over to being
  "multiplatform" enabled, which implies that they cannot expose their
  headers to architecture independent code any more.

  It is expected that no functional changes are part of the cleanup.
  The overall reduction in total code lines is mostly the result of
  removing broken and obsolete code."

abf09bed3c s390/mm: implement software dirty bits
The s390 architecture is unique in respect to dirty page detection,
it uses the change bit in the per-page storage key to track page
modifications. All other architectures track dirty bits by means
of page table entries. This property of s390 has caused numerous
problems in the past, e.g. see git commit ef5d437f71
"mm: fix XFS oops due to dirty pages without buffers on s390".

To avoid future issues in regard to per-page dirty bits convert
s390 to a fault based software dirty bit detection mechanism. All
user page table entries which are marked as clean will be hardware
read-only, even if the pte is supposed to be writable. A write by
the user process will trigger a protection fault which will cause
the user pte to be marked as dirty and the hardware read-only bit
is removed.

With this change the dirty bit in the storage key is irrelevant
for Linux as a host, but the storage key is still required for
KVM guests. The effect is that page_test_and_clear_dirty and the
related code can be removed. The referenced bit in the storage
key is still used by the page_test_and_clear_young primitive to
provide page age information.

For page cache pages of mappings with mapping_cap_account_dirty
there will not be any change in behavior as the dirty bit tracking
already uses read-only ptes to control the amount of dirty pages.
Only for swap cache pages and pages of mappings without
mapping_cap_account_dirty there can be additional protection faults.
To avoid an excessive number of additional faults the mk_pte
primitive checks for PageDirty if the pgprot value allows for writes
and pre-dirties the pte. That avoids all additional faults for
tmpfs and shmem pages until these pages are added to the swap cache.

7292e7e01c asm-generic/io.h: convert readX defines to functions
E.g. readl is defined like this

 #define readl(addr) __le32_to_cpu(__raw_readl(addr))

If a there is a readl() call that doesn't check the return value
this will cause a compile warning on big endian machines due to
the __le32_to_cpu macro magic.

E.g. code like this:

	readl(addr);

will generate the following compile warning:

warning: value computed is not used [-Wunused-value]

With this patch we get rid of dozens of compile warnings on s390.

05d88a4937 asm-generic: uaccess: Allow arches to over-ride __{get,put}_user_fn()
As of now these default to calling the arch provided __copy_{to,from}_user()
routines which being general purpose (w.r.t buffer alignment and lengths)
would lead to alignment checks in generated code (for arches which don't
support unaligned load/stores).

Given that in this case we already know that data involved is "unit"
sized and aligned, using the vanilla copy backend is a bit wasteful.

This change thus allows arches to over-ride the aforementioned routines.

This is because mm_segment_t is exported by arch code, while seqment_eq
assumes it will have .seg element.

1a989d0f1d gpiolib: link all gpio_chips using a list
Add a list member to gpio_chip that allows all chips to be parsed
quickly. The current method requires parsing the entire GPIO integer
space, which is painfully slow. Using a list makes many chip operations
that involve lookup or parsing faster, and also simplifies the code. It
is also necessary to eventually get rid of the global gpio_desc[] array.

The list of gpio_chips is always ordered by base GPIO number to ensure
chips traversal is done in the right order.

b2c77a57e4 Merge tag 'full-dynticks-cputime-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks into sched/core
Pull full-dynticks (user-space execution is undisturbed and
receives no timer IRQs) preparation changes that convert the
cputime accounting code to be full-dynticks ready,
from Frederic Weisbecker:

 "This implements the cputime accounting on full dynticks CPUs.

  Typical cputime stats infrastructure relies on the timer tick and
  its periodic polling on the CPU to account the amount of time
  spent by the CPUs and the tasks per high level domains such as
  userspace, kernelspace, guest, ...

  Now we are preparing to implement full dynticks capability on
  Linux for Real Time and HPC users who want full CPU isolation.
  This feature requires a cputime accounting that doesn't depend
  on the timer tick.

  To implement it, this new cputime infrastructure plugs into
  kernel/user/guest boundaries to take snapshots of cputime and
  flush these to the stats when needed. This performs pretty
  much like CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING except that context location
  and cputime snaphots are synchronized between write and read
  side such that the latter can safely retrieve the pending tickless
  cputime of a task and add it to its latest cputime snapshot to
  return the correct result to the user."
