As suggested by Nick Piggin it seems we can drop the -ffunction-sections
compile flag, now that the kernel uses thin archives. Testing with 32-
and 64-bit kernel showed no difference in kernel size.

SuperDomes yet), so reducing the default maximum number of CPUs may speed up
various bitop functions which depend on number of CPUs in the system.

Convert printk(KERN_LEVEL) type of calls to pr_lvl() macros.
While here,
- convert printk() to pr_info()
- join back string literal to be on one line
- use %*phN (note, it gives 1 byte more for sake of simplicity)

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Consolidation of softirq pending:
The softirq mask and its accessors/mutators have many implementations
scattered around many architectures. Most do the same things
consisting in a field in a per-cpu struct (often irq_cpustat_t)
accessed through per-cpu ops. We can provide instead a generic
efficient version that most of them can use. In fact s390 is the only
exception because the field is stored in lowcore.
- Support for level!?! triggered MSI (ARM)
Over the past couple of years, we've seen some SoCs coming up with
ways of signalling level interrupts using a new flavor of MSIs, where
the MSI controller uses two distinct messages: one that raises a
virtual line, and one that lowers it. The target MSI controller is in
charge of maintaining the state of the line.
This allows for a much simplified HW signal routing (no need to have
hundreds of discrete lines to signal level interrupts if you already
have a memory bus), but results in a departure from the current idea
the kernel has of MSIs.

Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman:
"This set of changes close the known issues with setting si_code to an
invalid value, and with not fully initializing struct siginfo. There
remains work to do on nds32, arc, unicore32, powerpc, arm, arm64, ia64
and x86 to get the code that generates siginfo into a simpler and more
maintainable state. Most of that work involves refactoring the signal
handling code and thus careful code review.
Also not included is the work to shrink the in kernel version of
struct siginfo. That depends on getting the number of places that
directly manipulate struct siginfo under control, as it requires the
introduction of struct kernel_siginfo for the in kernel things.
Overall this set of changes looks like it is making good progress, and
with a little luck I will be wrapping up the siginfo work next
development cycle"

By default, sparse assumes a 64bit machine when compiled on x86-64
and 32bit when compiled on anything else.
This can of course create all sort of problems for the other archs, like
issuing false warnings ('shift too big (32) for type unsigned long'), or
worse, failing to emit legitimate warnings.
Fix this by adding the -m32/-m64 flag, depending on CONFIG_64BIT,
to CHECKFLAGS in the main Makefile (and so for all archs).
Also, remove the now unneeded -m32/-m64 in arch specific Makefiles.

The kernel depends on macros like __BYTE_ORDER__,
__BIG_ENDIAN__ or __LITTLE_ENDIAN__.
OTOH, sparse doesn't know about the endianness of the kernel and
by default uses the same as the machine on which sparse was built.
Ensure that sparse can predefine the macros corresponding to
how the kernel was configured by adding -m{big,little}-endian
to CHECKFLAGS in the main Makefile (and so for all archs).
Also, remove the equivalent done in arch specific Makefiles.

Pull 'y2038: IPC system call conversion' from Arnd Bergmann:
"This is a follow-up to Deepa's work on the timekeeping system calls,
providing a y2038-safe syscall API for SYSVIPC. It uses a combination
of two strategies:
For sys_msgctl, sys_semctl and sys_shmctl, I do not introduce a completely
new set of replacement system calls, but instead extend the existing
ones to return data in the reserved fields of the normal data structure.
This should be completely transparent to any existing user space, and
only after the 32-bit time_t wraps, it will make a difference in the
returned data.
libc implementations will consequently have to provide their own data
structures when they move to 64-bit time_t, and convert the structures
in user space from the ones returned by the kernel.
In contrast, mq_timedsend, mq_timedreceive and and semtimedop all do
need to change because having a libc redefine the timespec type
breaks the ABI, so with this series there will be two separate entry
points for 32-bit architectures.
There are three cases here:
- little-endian architectures (except powerpc and mips) can use
the normal layout and just cast the data structure to the user space
type that contains 64-bit numbers.
- parisc and sparc can do the same thing with big-endian user space
- little-endian powerpc and most big-endian architectures have
to flip the upper and lower 32-bit halves of the time_t value in memory,
but can otherwise keep using the normal layout
- mips and big-endian xtensa need to be more careful because
they are not consistent in their definitions, and they have to provide
custom libc implementations for the system calls to use 64-bit time_t."
