commit bc994c77ce82576209dcf08f71de9ae51b0b100f upstream.

Commit cb8db5d45 (UAPI: (Scripted) Disintegrate arch/arm/include/asm) moved
these syscall comments out of their context into the UAPI headers. Fix this.

Commit 1c2f87c22566cd057bc8cde10c37ae9da1a1bb76
(ARM: 8025/1: Get rid of meminfo) dropped the upper bound on
the number of memory banks that can be added as there was no
technical need in the kernel. It turns out though, some bootloaders
(specifically the arndale-octa exynos boards) may pass invalid memory
information and rely on the kernel to not parse this data. This is a
bug in the bootloader but we still need to work around this.
Work around this by introducing a dt_fixup function. This function
gets called before the flattened devicetree is scanned for memory
and the like. In this fixup function for exynos, limit the maximum
number of memory regions in the devicetree.

 "Another round of ARM fixes.  The largest change here is the L2 changes
  to work around problems for the Armada 37x/380 devices, where most of
  the size comes down to comments rather than code.

  The other significant fix here is for the ptrace code, to ensure that
  rewritten syscalls work as intended.  This was pointed out by Kees
  Cook, but Will Deacon reworked the patch to be more elegant.

  The remainder are fairly trivial changes"

The clean up of CALLER_ADDR*() functions required the archs to either
use the default __builtin_return_address(X) (where X &gt; 0) or override
it with something the arch can use. To override it, the arch would
define ftrace_return_address(x).

The arm architecture requires this to be redefined but instead of
defining ftrace_return_address(x) it defined ftrace_return_addr(x).

The thread_save_fp macro has been defined so that it always reads the fp member
of the cpu_context_save struct. However, in the case of THUMB2 the fp is saved
not in the fp (r11) member but rather in r7.

This patch changes the way the macro is defined such that FP is read from the
correct place depending on whether we are a THUMB2 kernel or not. This enables
the backtrace in sitaution such as "echo t &gt; /proc/sysrq-trigger" or the
function in which a process sleeping when "ps -Al" is invoked.

With compilers which follow the C99 standard (like modern versions of gcc and
clang), "extern inline" does the wrong thing (emits code for an externally
linkable version of the inline function). "static inline" is the correct choice
instead.
