kcmp has appeared on x86, but has not been noticed because
checksyscalls.sh is broken at the moment.  Reserve ARM syscall 378
for this should we ever need it, and add an __IGNORE entry for this
unimplemented syscall.

Pull ARM fixes from Russell King:
 "It's been a while...  so there's a little more here than normal.

  Mostly updates from Will for the breakpoint stuff, and plugging a few
  holes in the user access functions which crept in when domain support
  was disabled for ARMv7 CPUs."

* 'fixes' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm:
  ARM: 7529/1: delay: set loops_per_jiffy when moving to timer-based loop
  ARM: 7528/1: uaccess: annotate [__]{get,put}_user functions with might_fault()
  ARM: 7527/1: uaccess: explicitly check __user pointer when !CPU_USE_DOMAINS
  ARM: 7526/1: traps: send SIGILL if get_user fails on undef handling path
  ARM: 7521/1: Fix semihosting Kconfig text
  ARM: 7513/1: Make sure dtc is built before running it
  ARM: 7512/1: Fix XIP build due to PHYS_OFFSET definition moving
  ARM: 7499/1: mm: Fix vmalloc overlap check for !HIGHMEM
  ARM: 7503/1: mm: only flush both pmd entries for classic MMU
  ARM: 7502/1: contextidr: avoid using bfi instruction during notifier
  ARM: 7501/1: decompressor: reset ttbcr for VMSA ARMv7 cores
  ARM: 7497/1: hw_breakpoint: allow single-byte watchpoints on all addresses

The user access functions may generate a fault, resulting in invocation
of a handler that may sleep.

This patch annotates the accessors with might_fault() so that we print a
warning if they are invoked from atomic context and help lockdep keep
track of mmap_sem.

The {get,put}_user macros don't perform range checking on the provided
__user address when !CPU_HAS_DOMAINS.

This patch reworks the out-of-line assembly accessors to check the user
address against a specified limit, returning -EFAULT if is is out of
range.

Momentarily leave the #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ section so we can

<title>ARM: 7488/1: mm: use 5 bits for swapfile type encoding</title>

Page migration encodes the pfn in the offset field of a swp_entry_t.
For LPAE, we support physical addresses of up to 36 bits (due to
sparsemem limitations with the size of page flags), requiring 24 bits
to represent a pfn. A further 3 bits are used to encode a swp_entry into
a pte, leaving 5 bits for the type field. Furthermore, the core code
defines MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT as 5, so the additional type bit does not
get used.

This patch reduces the width of the type field to 5 bits, allowing us
to create up to 31 swapfiles of 64GB each.

Swap entries are encoding in ptes such that !pte_present(pte) and
pte_file(pte). The remaining bits of the descriptor are used to identify
the swapfile and offset within it to the swap entry.

When writing such a pte for a user virtual address, set_pte_at
unconditionally sets the nG bit, which (in the case of LPAE) will
corrupt the swapfile offset and lead to a BUG:

[  140.494067] swap_free: Unused swap offset entry 000763b4
[  140.509989] BUG: Bad page map in process rs:main Q:Reg  pte:0ec76800 pmd:8f92e003

This patch fixes the problem by only setting the nG bit for user
mappings that are actually present.

Many clocks that are used to provide sched_clock will reset during
suspend.  If read_sched_clock returns 0 after suspend, sched_clock will
appear to jump forward.  This patch resets cd.epoch_cyc to the current
value of read_sched_clock during resume, which causes sched_clock() just
after suspend to return the same value as sched_clock() just before
suspend.

In addition, during the window where epoch_ns has been updated before
suspend, but epoch_cyc has not been updated after suspend, it is unknown
whether the clock has reset or not, and sched_clock() could return a
bogus value.  Add a suspended flag, and return the pre-suspend epoch_ns
value during this period.

The new behavior is triggered by calling setup_sched_clock_needs_suspend
instead of setup_sched_clock.
