Patch to prevent warning of a buggy compiler when using clang and
the ARM_UNWIND option.

Clang defines (at least on the current trunk) GNUC, GNUC_MINOR, and
GNUC_PATCHLEVEL to 4, 2, and 1 respectively.

This version of GCC gets flagged as buggy, but it isn't actually an
issue with clang so the patch will do what it did before unless clang
is defined and then it will not report the GCC version as an issue.

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:

 - Major clean-up of the L2 cache support code.  The existing mess was
   becoming rather unmaintainable through all the additions that others
   have done over time.  This turns it into a much nicer structure, and
   implements a few performance improvements as well.

 - Clean up some of the CP15 control register tweaks for alignment
   support, moving some code and data into alignment.c

 - DMA properties for ARM, from Santosh and reviewed by DT people.  This
   adds DT properties to specify bus translations we can't discover
   automatically, and to indicate whether devices are coherent.

 - Hibernation support for ARM

 - Make ftrace work with read-only text in modules

 - add suspend support for PJ4B CPUs

 - rework interrupt masking for undefined instruction handling, which
   allows us to enable interrupts earlier in the handling of these
   exceptions.

 - support for big endian page tables

 - fix stacktrace support to exclude stacktrace functions from the
   trace, and add save_stack_trace_regs() implementation so that kprobes
   can record stack traces.

 - Add support for the Cortex-A17 CPU.

 - Remove last vestiges of ARM710 support.

 - Removal of ARM "meminfo" structure, finally converting us solely to
   memblock to handle the early memory initialisation.

Make the ARM perf code use the new common PMU interrupt disabled code.

This allows perf to work on ARM machines without a working PMU
interrupt (for example, raspberry pi).

It is better not to think about compute capacity as being equivalent
to "CPU power".  The upcoming "power aware" scheduler work may create
confusion with the notion of energy consumption if "power" is used too
liberally.

This contains the architecture visible changes.  Incidentally, only ARM
takes advantage of the available pow^H^H^Hcapacity scaling hooks and
therefore those changes outside kernel/sched/ are confined to one ARM
specific file.  The default arch_scale_smt_power() hook is not overridden
by anyone.

Replacements are as follows:

	arch_scale_freq_power  --&gt; arch_scale_freq_capacity
	arch_scale_smt_power   --&gt; arch_scale_smt_capacity
	SCHED_POWER_SCALE      --&gt; SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE
	SCHED_POWER_SHIFT      --&gt; SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT

The local usage of "power" in arch/arm/kernel/topology.c is also changed
to "capacity" as appropriate.
