Commit d61931d89b, "x86: Add optimized popcnt variants" introduced
compile flag -fcall-saved-rdi for lib/hweight.c. When combined with
options -fprofile-arcs and -O2, this flag causes gcc to generate
broken constructor code. As a result, a 64 bit x86 kernel compiled
with CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y prints message "gcov: could not create
file" and runs into sproadic BUGs during boot.

The gcc people indicate that these kinds of problems are endemic when
using ad hoc calling conventions.  It is therefore best to treat any
file compiled with ad hoc calling conventions as an isolated
environment and avoid things like profiling or coverage analysis,
since those subsystems assume a "normal" calling conventions.

This patch avoids the bug by excluding lib/hweight.o from coverage
profiling.

<title>kbuild: don't enable DEBUG_INFO when building for COMPILE_TEST</title>

<content type='text'>
It really isn't very interesting to have DEBUG_INFO when doing compile
coverage stuff (you wouldn't want to run the result anyway, that's kind
of the whole point of COMPILE_TEST), and it currently makes the build
take longer and use much more disk space for "all{yes,mod}config".

There's somewhat active discussion about this still, and we might end up
with some new config option for things like this (Andi points out that
the silly X86_DECODER_SELFTEST option also slows down the normal
coverage tests hugely), but I'm starting the ball rolling with this
simple one-liner.

DEBUG_INFO isn't that noticeable if you have tons of memory and a good
IO subsystem, but it hurts you a lot if you don't - for very little
upside for the common use.

<title>parisc/sti_console: prefer Linux fonts over built-in ROM fonts</title>

<content type='text'>
The built-in ROM fonts lack many necessary ASCII characters, which is
why it makes sens to prefer the Linux fonts instead if they are
available.  This makes consoles on STI graphics cards which are not
supported by the stifb driver (e.g. Visualize FXe) looks much nicer.

Commit 0abdd7a81b7e ("dma-debug: introduce debug_dma_assert_idle()") was
reworked to expand the overlap counter to the full range expressable by
3 tag bits, but it has a thinko in treating the overlap counter as a
pure reference count for the entry.

Instead of deleting when the reference-count drops to zero, we need to
delete when the overlap-count drops below zero.  Also, when detecting
overflow we can just test the overlap-count &gt; MAX rather than applying
special meaning to 0.

Regression report available here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&amp;m=139073373932386&amp;w=2

This patch, now tested on the original net_dma case, sees the expected
handful of reports before the eventual data corruption occurs.

In the gen_pool_dma_alloc() the dma pointer can be NULL and while
assigning gen_pool_virt_to_phys(pool, vaddr) to dma caused the following
crash on da850 evm:

   Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
   Internal error: Oops: 805 [#1] PREEMPT ARM
