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.

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").

Remove the address_space -&gt;tree_lock and use the xa_lock newly added to
the radix_tree_root.  Rename the address_space -&gt;page_tree to -&gt;i_pages,
since we don't really care that it's a tree.

<content type='text'>
Some function pointer structures are used externally to the kernel, like
the paravirt structures. These should never be randomized, so mark them
as such, in preparation for enabling randstruct's automatic selection
of all-function-pointer structures.

These markings are verbatim from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's code in the
last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding of the
code. Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and don't
reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.

Patch series "set_memory_* functions header refactor", v3.

The set_memory_* APIs came out of a desire to have a better way to
change memory attributes.  Many of these attributes were linked to cache
functionality so the prototypes were put in cacheflush.h.  These days,
the APIs have grown and have a much wider use than just cache APIs.  To
support this growth, split off set_memory_* and friends into a separate
header file to avoid growing cacheflush.h for APIs that have nothing to
do with caches.
