As mentioned in LTP's README.ARC:
-------------&gt;8------------
 Requirements for the environment

* Linux must be built with support of loop block devices. Thus it's
  necessary to enable these Linux kernel options:
  CONFIG_BLK_DEV
  CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP
-------------&gt;8------------
enabling loop block devices.

That among other things lead to additional 10 fatal signals
appearing during LTP run.

This reverts commit 667a490bdb6e27db0887d2ca515b907d6aa87118.

This is needed to get ethernet(stmmac) working in 4.6-rc2 on axs103.

4.5 needed this fix, but apprently stmmac has gained some fixes which
warrant reversal of this.

During mmaping of frame-buffer pages to user-space
fb_protect() is called to set proper page settings.

In case of ARC we need to mark pages that are mmaped to
user as uncached because of 2 reasons:
 * Huge amount of data if passing through data cache will
   thrash cache a lot making cache almost useless for other
   less traffic hungry processes.
 * Data written by user in FB will be immediately available for
   hardware (such as PGU etc) without requirements to flush data
   cache regularly.

Commit 5f8fc43217a0 ("PCI: Include pci/pcie/Kconfig directly from
pci/Kconfig") in linux-next changed drivers/pci/Kconfig to include
drivers/pci/pcie/Kconfig itself, so that architectures do not need
to source both files themselves. ARC just recently gained PCI support
through commit 6b3fb77998dd ("ARC: Add PCI support"), but this change
was based on the old behaviour of the Kconfig files. This makes
Kconfig now spit out the following warnings:

drivers/pci/pcie/Kconfig:61:warning: choice value used outside its choice group
drivers/pci/pcie/Kconfig:67:warning: choice value used outside its choice group
drivers/pci/pcie/Kconfig:74:warning: choice value used outside its choice group

This change updates the Kconfig file for ARC, dropping the now
unnecessary 'source' statement, which makes the warning disappear.

<title>mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros</title>

<id>09cbfeaf1a5a67bfb3201e0c83c810cecb2efa5a</id>
<content type='text'>
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - &lt;foo&gt; &lt;&lt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - &lt;foo&gt; &gt;&gt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -&gt; PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -&gt; get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -&gt; put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
 "Highlights:

   1) Support more Realtek wireless chips, from Jes Sorenson.

   2) New BPF types for per-cpu hash and arrap maps, from Alexei
      Starovoitov.

   3) Make several TCP sysctls per-namespace, from Nikolay Borisov.

   4) Allow the use of SO_REUSEPORT in order to do per-thread processing
   of incoming TCP/UDP connections.  The muxing can be done using a
   BPF program which hashes the incoming packet.  From Craig Gallek.

   5) Add a multiplexer for TCP streams, to provide a messaged based
      interface.  BPF programs can be used to determine the message
      boundaries.  From Tom Herbert.

   6) Add 802.1AE MACSEC support, from Sabrina Dubroca.

   7) Avoid factorial complexity when taking down an inetdev interface
      with lots of configured addresses.  We were doing things like
      traversing the entire address less for each address removed, and
      flushing the entire netfilter conntrack table for every address as
      well.

      from Kan Liang.

  11) Extend ethtool so that larger link mode masks can be supported.
      From David Decotigny.

  12) Introduce devlink, which can be used to configure port link types

      level attributes as a whole.  From Jiri Pirko.

  13) Hardware offload support for flower classifiers, from Amir Vadai.

  14) Add "Local Checksum Offload".  Basically, for a tunneled packet

      checksum field filled into the inner protocol header, the payload
      of the outer frame checksums to 'zero'), and we can take advantage
      of that in various ways.  From Edward Cree"

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
 "Highlights:

   1) Support more Realtek wireless chips, from Jes Sorenson.

   2) New BPF types for per-cpu hash and arrap maps, from Alexei
      Starovoitov.

   3) Make several TCP sysctls per-namespace, from Nikolay Borisov.

   4) Allow the use of SO_REUSEPORT in order to do per-thread processing
   of incoming TCP/UDP connections.  The muxing can be done using a
   BPF program which hashes the incoming packet.  From Craig Gallek.

   5) Add a multiplexer for TCP streams, to provide a messaged based
      interface.  BPF programs can be used to determine the message
      boundaries.  From Tom Herbert.

   6) Add 802.1AE MACSEC support, from Sabrina Dubroca.

   7) Avoid factorial complexity when taking down an inetdev interface
      with lots of configured addresses.  We were doing things like
      traversing the entire address less for each address removed, and
      flushing the entire netfilter conntrack table for every address as
      well.

   8) Add and use SKB bulk free infrastructure, from Jesper Brouer.

   9) Allow offloading u32 classifiers to hardware, and implement for
      ixgbe, from John Fastabend.

<title>ARCv2: ioremap: Support dynamic peripheral address space</title>

The peripheral address space is architectural address window which is
uncached and typically used to wire up peripherals.

For ARC700 cores (ARCompact ISA based) this was fixed to 1GB region
0xC000_0000 - 0xFFFF_FFFF.

For ARCv2 based HS38 cores the start address is flexible and can be
0xC, 0xD, 0xE, 0xF 000_000 by programming AUX_NON_VOLATILE_LIMIT reg
(typically done in bootloader)

Further in cas of PAE, the physical address can extend beyond 4GB so
need to confine this check, otherwise all pages beyond 4GB will be
treated as uncached
