Enabling CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y causes linker errors on ARM:

  `.text.exit' referenced in section `.ARM.exidx.text.exit':
  defined in discarded section `.text.exit'

  `.text.exit' referenced in section `.fini_array.00100':
  defined in discarded section `.text.exit'

And related errors on NDS32:

  `.text.exit' referenced in section `.dtors.65435':
  defined in discarded section `.text.exit'

The gcov compiler flags cause certain compiler versions to generate
additional destructor-related sections that are not yet handled by the
linker script, resulting in references between discarded and
non-discarded sections.

Since destructors are not used in the Linux kernel, fix this by
discarding these additional sections.

Commit cafa0010cd51 ("Raise the minimum required gcc version to 4.6")
recently exposed a brittle part of the build for supporting non-gcc
compilers.

Both Clang and ICC define __GNUC__, __GNUC_MINOR__, and
__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__ for quick compatibility with code bases that haven't
added compiler specific checks for __clang__ or __INTEL_COMPILER.

This is brittle, as they happened to get compatibility by posing as a
certain version of GCC.  This broke when upgrading the minimal version
of GCC required to build the kernel, to a version above what ICC and
Clang claim to be.

Rather than always including compiler-gcc.h then undefining or
redefining macros in compiler-intel.h or compiler-clang.h, let's
separate out the compiler specific macro definitions into mutually
exclusive headers, do more proper compiler detection, and keep shared
definitions in compiler_types.h.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "A bunch of good stuff in here. Worth noting is that we've pulled in
  the x86/mm branch from -tip so that we can make use of the core
  ioremap changes which allow us to put down huge mappings in the
  vmalloc area without screwing up the TLB. Much of the positive
  diffstat is because of the rseq selftest for arm64.

  Summary:

   - Wire up support for qspinlock, replacing our trusty ticket lock
     code

   - Add an IPI to flush_icache_range() to ensure that stale
     instructions fetched into the pipeline are discarded along with the
     I-cache lines

   - Support for the GCC "stackleak" plugin

   - Support for restartable sequences, plus an arm64 port for the
     selftest

   - Kexec/kdump support on systems booting with ACPI

   - Rewrite of our syscall entry code in C, which allows us to zero the
     GPRs on entry from userspace

   - Support for chained PMU counters, allowing 64-bit event counters to
     be constructed on current CPUs

   - Ensure scheduler topology information is kept up-to-date with CPU
     hotplug events

   - Re-enable support for huge vmalloc/IO mappings now that the core
     code has the correct hooks to use break-before-make sequences

   - Miscellaneous, non-critical fixes and cleanups"

   - Cleanup and consolidation of hardware breakpoints

   - The usual pile of fixes and updates to PMUs and event descriptors

  Tooling updates:

   - Updates and improvements all over the place. Nothing outstanding,
     just the (good) boring incremental grump work"

Pull genirq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The irq departement provides:

   - A synchronization fix for free_irq() to synchronize just the
     removed interrupt thread on shared interrupt lines.

   - Consolidate the multi low level interrupt entry handling and mvoe
     it to the generic code instead of adding yet another copy for
     RISC-V

   - Refactoring of the ARM LPI allocator and LPI exposure to the
     hypervisor

   - Yet another interrupt chip driver for the JZ4725B SoC

   - Speed up for /proc/interrupts as people seem to love reading this
     file with high frequency

   - Miscellaneous fixes and updates"
