Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.armlinux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm
Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
- An improvement from Ard Biesheuvel, who noted that the identity map
setup was taking a long time due to flush_cache_louis().
- Update a comment about dma_ops from Wolfram Sang.
- Remove use of "-p" with ld, where this flag has been a no-op since
2004.
- Remove the printing of the virtual memory layout, which is no longer
useful since we hide pointers.
- Correct SCU help text.
- Remove legacy TWD registration method.
- Add pgprot_device() implementation for mapping PCI sysfs resource
files.
- Initialise PFN limits earlier for kmemleak.
- Fix argument count to match macro definition (affects clang builds)
- Use unified assembler language almost everywhere for clang, and other
clang improvements (from Stefan Agner, Nathan Chancellor).
- Support security extension for noMMU and other noMMU cleanups (from
Vladimir Murzin).
- Remove unnecessary SMP bringup code (which was incorrectly copy'n'
pasted from the ARM platform implementations) and remove it from the
arch code to discourge further copys of it appearing.
- Add Cortex A9 erratum preventing kexec working on some SoCs.
- AMBA bus identification updates from Mike Leach.
- More use of raw spinlocks to avoid -RT kernel issues (from Yang Shi
and Sebastian Andrzej Siewior).
- MCPM hyp/svc mode mismatch fixes from Marek Szyprowski.
