Pull ARM fixes from Russell King:
 "A number of ARM fixes, the biggest is fixing a regression caused by
  appended DT blobs exceeding 64K, causing the decompressor fixup code
  to fail to patch the DT blob.  Another important fix is for the ASID
  allocator from Will Deacon which prevents some rare crashes seen on
  some systems.  Lastly, there's a build fix for v7M systems when printk
  support is disabled.

  The last two remaining fixes are more cosmetic - the IOMMU one
  prevents an annoying harmless warning message, and we disable the
  kernel strict memory permissions on non-MMU which can't support it
  anyway"

* 'fixes' of git://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm:
  ARM: 8299/1: mm: ensure local active ASID is marked as allocated on rollover
  ARM: 8298/1: ARM_KERNMEM_PERMS only works with MMU enabled

Minimal builds for v7M are broken when printk is disabled. The caller is
assembly so add the necessary ifdef around the call.

 "Another round of small ARM fixes.

  restore_user_regs early stack deallocation is buggy in the presence of

  Another bug was spotted in the ARM perf code where it could lose track

The current rounding of "size" is wrong:

 - If "start" is sufficiently near the next page boundary, "size"
   is decremented by more than enough and the last page is lost.

 - If "size" is sufficiently small, it is wrapped around and gets
   a bogus value.

If the overflow threshold for a counter is set above or near the
0xffffffff boundary then the kernel may lose track of the overflow
causing only events that occur *after* the overflow to be recorded.
Specifically the problem occurs when the value of the performance counter
overtakes its original programmed value due to wrap around.

Typical solutions to this problem are either to avoid programming in
values likely to be overtaken or to treat the overflow bit as the 33rd
bit of the counter.

Its somewhat fiddly to refactor the code to correctly handle the 33rd bit
during irqsave sections (context switches for example) so instead we take
the simpler approach of avoiding values likely to be overtaken.

We set the limit to half of max_period because this matches the limit
imposed in __hw_perf_event_init(). This causes a doubling of the interrupt
rate for large threshold values, however even with a very fast counter
ticking at 4GHz the interrupt rate would only be ~1Hz.

Currently restore_user_regs deallocates the SVC stack early in
its execution and relies on no exception being taken between
the deallocation and the registers being restored. The introduction
of a default FIQ handler that also uses the SVC stack breaks this
assumption and can result in corrupted register state.

This patch works around the problem by removing the early
stack deallocation and using r2 as a temporary instead. I have
not found a way to do this without introducing an extra mov
instruction to the macro.

On x86_64, at least, task_pt_regs may be only partially initialized
in many contexts, so x86_64 should not use it without extra care
from interrupt context, let alone NMI context.

This will allow x86_64 to override the logic and will supply some
scratch space to use to make a cleaner copy of user regs.
