Pull signal handling cleanups from Al Viro:
 "sigaltstack infrastructure + conversion for x86, alpha and um,
  COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE infrastructure.

  Note that there are several conflicts between "unify
  SS_ONSTACK/SS_DISABLE definitions" and UAPI patches in mainline;
  resolution is trivial - just remove definitions of SS_ONSTACK and
  SS_DISABLED from arch/*/uapi/asm/signal.h; they are all identical and
  include/uapi/linux/signal.h contains the unified variant."

Fixed up conflicts as per Al.

Pull IOMMU updates from Joerg Roedel:
 "A few new features this merge-window.  The most important one is
  probably, that dma-debug now warns if a dma-handle is not checked with
  dma_mapping_error by the device driver.  This requires minor changes
  to some architectures which make use of dma-debug.  Most of these
  changes have the respective Acks by the Arch-Maintainers.

  Besides that there are updates to the AMD IOMMU driver for refactor
  the IOMMU-Groups support and to make sure it does not trigger a
  hardware erratum.

  The OMAP changes (for which I pulled in a branch from Tony Lindgren's
  tree) have a conflict in linux-next with the arm-soc tree.  The
  conflict is in the file arch/arm/mach-omap2/clock44xx_data.c which is
  deleted in the arm-soc tree.  It is safe to delete the file too so
  solve the conflict.  Similar changes are done in the arm-soc tree in
  the common clock framework migration.  A missing hunk from the patch
  in the IOMMU tree will be submitted as a seperate patch when the
  merge-window is closed."

None of them have __ARCH_WANT_KERNEL_EXECVE and there are only two callers
of kernel_execve() (which is a trivial wrapper for do_execve() now) left.
Kill the conditionals and make both callers use do_execve().

Pull ARM SoC updates for Marvell mvebu/kirkwood from Olof Johansson:
 "This is a branch with updates for Marvell's mvebu/kirkwood platforms.
  They came in late-ish, and were heavily interdependent such that it

  branches.  So here they are (for the second release in a row) in a

Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 - Add necessary infrastructure to make balloon driver work under ARM.
 - Add /dev/xen/privcmd interfaces to work with ARM and PVH.
 - Improve Xen PCIBack wild-card parsing.
 - Add Xen ACPI PAD (Processor Aggregator) support - so can offline/
   online sockets depending on the power consumption.
 - PVHVM + kexec = use an E820_RESV region for the shared region so we
   don't overwrite said region during kexec reboot.
 - Cleanups, compile fixes.

Fix up some trivial conflicts due to the balloon driver now working on
ARM, and there were changes next to the previous work-arounds that are
now gone.

Pull big execve/kernel_thread/fork unification series from Al Viro:
 "All architectures are converted to new model.  Quite a bit of that
  stuff is actually shared with architecture trees; in such cases it's
  literally shared branch pulled by both, not a cherry-pick.

  A lot of ugliness and black magic is gone (-3KLoC total in this one):

   - kernel_thread()/kernel_execve()/sys_execve() redesign.

     We don't do syscalls from kernel anymore for either kernel_thread()
     or kernel_execve():

     kernel_thread() is essentially clone(2) with callback run before we
     return to userland, the callbacks either never return or do
     successful do_execve() before returning.

     kernel_execve() is a wrapper for do_execve() - it doesn't need to
     do transition to user mode anymore.

     As a result kernel_thread() and kernel_execve() are
     arch-independent now - they live in kernel/fork.c and fs/exec.c
     resp.  sys_execve() is also in fs/exec.c and it's completely
     architecture-independent.

   - daemonize() is gone, along with its parts in fs/*.c

   - struct pt_regs * is no longer passed to do_fork/copy_process/
     copy_thread/do_execve/search_binary_handler/->load_binary/do_coredump.

   - sys_fork()/sys_vfork()/sys_clone() unified; some architectures
     still need wrappers (ones with callee-saved registers not saved in
     pt_regs on syscall entry), but the main part of those suckers is in
     kernel/fork.c now."

Pull ARM SoC updates from Olof Johansson:
 "This contains the bulk of new SoC development for this merge window.

  Two new platforms have been added, the sunxi platforms (Allwinner A1x
  SoCs) by Maxime Ripard, and a generic Broadcom platform for a new
  series of ARMv7 platforms from them, where the hope is that we can
  keep the platform code generic enough to have them all share one mach
  directory.  The new Broadcom platform is contributed by Christian
  Daudt.

  Highbank has grown support for Calxeda's next generation of hardware,
  ECX-2000.

  clps711x has seen a lot of cleanup from Alexander Shiyan, and he's
  also taken on maintainership of the platform.

  Beyond this there has been a bunch of work from a number of people on
  converting more platforms to IRQ domains, pinctrl conversion, cleanup
  and general feature enablement across most of the active platforms."
