<title>ARM: 8313/1: Use read_cpuid_ext() macro instead of inline asm</title>

Replace inline asm statement in __get_cpu_architecture() with equivalent
macro invocation, i.e. read_cpuid_ext(CPUID_EXT_MMFR0);

As an added bonus, this squashes a potential bug, described by Paul
Walmsley in commit 067e710b9a98 ("ARM: 7801/1: prevent gcc 4.5 from
reordering extended CP15 reads above is_smp() test").

of_device_ids (i.e. compatible strings and the respective data) are not
supposed to change at runtime. All functions working with of_device_ids
provided by &lt;linux/of.h&gt; work with const of_device_ids. So mark the
non-const structs in arch/arm as const, too.

While at it also add some __initconst annotations.

<title>mm: vmalloc: pass additional vm_flags to __vmalloc_node_range()</title>

For instrumenting global variables KASan will shadow memory backing memory
for modules.  So on module loading we will need to allocate memory for
shadow and map it at address in shadow that corresponds to the address
allocated in module_alloc().

__vmalloc_node_range() could be used for this purpose, except it puts a
guard hole after allocated area.  Guard hole in shadow memory should be a
problem because at some future point we might need to have a shadow memory
at address occupied by guard hole.  So we could fail to allocate shadow
for module_alloc().

Now we have VM_NO_GUARD flag disabling guard page, so we need to pass into
__vmalloc_node_range().  Add new parameter 'vm_flags' to
__vmalloc_node_range() function.

<title>all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct</title>

<content type='text'>
If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target.  This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.

Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.

Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.

It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "We have a few new features this time, including a new SFI-based
  cpufreq driver, a new devfreq driver for Tegra Activity Monitor, a new
  devfreq class for providing its governors with raw utilization data
  and a new ACPI driver for AMD SoCs.

  Still, the majority of changes here are reworks of existing code to
  make it more straightforward or to prepare it for implementing new
  features on top of it.  The primary example is the rework of ACPI
  resources handling from Jiang Liu, Thomas Gleixner and Lv Zheng with
  support for IOAPIC hotplug implemented on top of it, but there is
  quite a number of changes of this kind in the cpufreq core, ACPICA,
  ACPI EC driver, ACPI processor driver and the generic power domains
  core code too.

  The most active developer is Viresh Kumar with his cpufreq changes.

  Specifics:

   - Rework of the core ACPI resources parsing code to fix issues in it
     and make using resource offsets more convenient and consolidation
     of some resource-handing code in a couple of places that have grown
     analagous data structures and code to cover the the same gap in the
     core (Jiang Liu, Thomas Gleixner, Lv Zheng).

   - ACPI-based IOAPIC hotplug support on top of the resources handling
     rework (Jiang Liu, Yinghai Lu).

   - ACPICA update to upstream release 20150204 including an interrupt

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "We have a few new features this time, including a new SFI-based
  cpufreq driver, a new devfreq driver for Tegra Activity Monitor, a new
  devfreq class for providing its governors with raw utilization data
  and a new ACPI driver for AMD SoCs.

  Still, the majority of changes here are reworks of existing code to
  make it more straightforward or to prepare it for implementing new
  features on top of it.  The primary example is the rework of ACPI
  resources handling from Jiang Liu, Thomas Gleixner and Lv Zheng with
  support for IOAPIC hotplug implemented on top of it, but there is
  quite a number of changes of this kind in the cpufreq core, ACPICA,
  ACPI EC driver, ACPI processor driver and the generic power domains
  core code too.

  The most active developer is Viresh Kumar with his cpufreq changes.

  Specifics:

   - Rework of the core ACPI resources parsing code to fix issues in it
     and make using resource offsets more convenient and consolidation
     of some resource-handing code in a couple of places that have grown
     analagous data structures and code to cover the the same gap in the
     core (Jiang Liu, Thomas Gleixner, Lv Zheng).

   - ACPI-based IOAPIC hotplug support on top of the resources handling
     rework (Jiang Liu, Yinghai Lu).

   - ACPICA update to upstream release 20150204 including an interrupt
     handling rework that allows drivers to install raw handlers for
     ACPI GPEs which then become entirely responsible for the given GPE
     and the ACPICA core code won't touch it (Lv Zheng, David E Box,

     problems related to events handling on top of the ACPICA's new
     support for raw GPE handlers (Lv Zheng).
