Pull kbuild updates from Michal Marek:

 - EXPORT_SYMBOL for asm source by Al Viro.

   This does bring a regression, because genksyms no longer generates
   checksums for these symbols (CONFIG_MODVERSIONS). Nick Piggin is
   working on a patch to fix this.

   Plus, we are talking about functions like strcpy(), which rarely
   change prototypes.

 - Fixes for PPC fallout of the above by Stephen Rothwell and Nick
   Piggin

 - fixdep speedup by Alexey Dobriyan.

 - preparatory work by Nick Piggin to allow architectures to build with
   -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections and --gc-sections

 - CONFIG_THIN_ARCHIVES support by Stephen Rothwell

 - fix for filenames with colons in the initramfs source by me.

* 'kbuild' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild: (22 commits)
  initramfs: Escape colons in depfile
  ppc: there is no clear_pages to export
  powerpc/64: whitelist unresolved modversions CRCs
  kbuild: -ffunction-sections fix for archs with conflicting sections
  kbuild: add arch specific post-link Makefile
  kbuild: allow archs to select link dead code/data elimination
  kbuild: allow architectures to use thin archives instead of ld -r
  kbuild: Regenerate genksyms lexer
  kbuild: genksyms fix for typeof handling
  fixdep: faster CONFIG_ search
  ia64: move exports to definitions
  sparc32: debride memcpy.S a bit
  [sparc] unify 32bit and 64bit string.h
  sparc: move exports to definitions
  ppc: move exports to definitions
  arm: move exports to definitions
  s390: move exports to definitions
  m68k: move exports to definitions
  alpha: move exports to actual definitions
  x86: move exports to actual definitions

Guided by grsecurity's analogous __read_only markings in arch/arm,
this applies several uses of __ro_after_init to structures that are
only updated during __init.

<title>ARM: 8306/1: loop_udelay: remove bogomips value limitation</title>

<content type='text'>
Now that we don't support ARMv3 anymore, the loop based delay code can
convert microsecs into number of loops using a 64-bit multiplication
and more precision.

This allows us to lift the hard limit of 3355 on the bogomips value as
loops_per_jiffy may now safely span the full 32-bit range.

With new refcounting we don't need to mark PMDs splitting.  Let's drop
code to handle this.

pmdp_splitting_flush() is not needed too: on splitting PMD we will do
pmdp_clear_flush() + set_pte_at().  pmdp_clear_flush() will do IPI as
needed for fast_gup.

<title>ARM: 8477/1: runtime patch udiv/sdiv instructions into __aeabi_{u}idiv()</title>

<id>42f25bddd0a226d2431e057b9e01c5cc61067e12</id>
<content type='text'>
The ARM compiler inserts calls to __aeabi_idiv() and
__aeabi_uidiv() when it needs to perform division on signed and
unsigned integers. If a processor has support for the sdiv and
udiv instructions, the kernel may overwrite the beginning of those
functions with those instructions and a "bx lr" to get better
performance.

To ensure that those functions are aligned to a 32-bit word for easier
patching (which might not always be the case in Thumb mode) and that
the two patched instructions end up in the same cache line, a 8-byte
alignment is enforced when ARM_PATCH_IDIV is selected.

This was heavily inspired by a previous patch from Stephen Boyd.
