Mark switch cases where we are expecting to fall through.

This patch fixes the following warning:

arch/arm/kernel/signal.c: In function 'do_signal':
arch/arm/kernel/signal.c:598:12: warning: this statement may fall through [-Wimplicit-fallthrough=]
    restart -= 2;

Converts ARM the text files to ReST, preparing them to be an
architecture book.

The conversion is actually:
  - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
  - fix tables markups;
  - add some lists markups;
  - mark literal blocks;
  - adjust title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

Drop the pgtable_t variable from all implementation for pte_fn_t as none
of them use it.  apply_to_pte_range() should stop computing it as well.
Should help us save some cycles.

Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman:
 "A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a
  task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current
  task.

  The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals
  such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous
  fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal.

  Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the
  force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been
  abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those
  have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.

  This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and
  carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends
  making this kind of error almost impossible in the future"

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:

 - Add a "cut here" to make it clearer where oops dumps should be cut
   from - we already have a marker for the end of the dumps.

 - Add logging severity to show_pte()

 - Drop unnecessary common-page-size linker flag

 - Errata workarounds for Cortex A12 857271, Cortex A17 857272 and
   Cortex A7 814220.

 - Remove some unused variables that had started to provoke a compiler
   warning.

The 'struct sched_domain *sd' parameter to arch_scale_cpu_capacity() is
unused since commit:

  765d0af19f5f ("sched/topology: Remove the ::smt_gain field from 'struct sched_domain'")

Remove it.

<title>ARM: module: recognize unwind exit sections</title>

In addition to the prefix ".exit", ".ARM.extab.exit" and ".ARM.exidx.exit"
must be recognized as exit sections as well. Otherwise, loading modules can
fail without CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD depending on the memory layout, when
relocations for the unwind sections refer to the .exit.text section:

  imx_sdma: section 16 reloc 0 sym '': relocation 42 out of range
  (0x7f015260 -&gt; 0xc0f5a5e8)

where 0x7F000000 is the module load area and 0xC0000000 is the vmalloc
area. Relocation 42 refers to R_ARM_PREL31, which is limited to signed
31bit offsets.

<title>ARM: 8864/1: Add workaround for I-Cache line size mismatch between CPU cores</title>

Some big.LITTLE systems have I-Cache line size mismatch between
LITTLE and big cores. This patch adds a workaround for proper I-Cache
support on such systems. Without it, some class of the userspace code
(typically self-modifying) might suffer from random SIGILL failures.

Similar workaround already exists for ARM64 architecture. I has been
added by commit 116c81f427ff ("arm64: Work around systems with mismatched
cache line sizes").
