Pull asm-generic cleanups from Arnd Bergmann:
 "A series from Baoquan He cleans up the asm-generic/io.h to remove the
  ioremap_uc() definition from everything except x86, which still needs
  it for pre-PAT systems. This series notably contains a patch from
  Jiaxun Yang that converts MIPS to use asm-generic/io.h like every
  other architecture does, enabling future cleanups.

  Some of my own patches fix -Wmissing-prototype warnings in
  architecture specific code across several architectures. This is now
  needed as the warning is enabled by default. There are still some
  remaining warnings in minor platforms, but the series should catch
  most of the widely used ones make them more consistent with one
  another.

  David McKay fixes a bug in __generic_cmpxchg_local() when this is used
  on 64-bit architectures. This could currently only affect parisc64 and
  sparc64.

  Additional cleanups address from Linus Walleij, Uwe Kleine-König,
  Thomas Huth, and Kefeng Wang help reduce unnecessary inconsistencies
  between architectures"

This function is only called from assembly but the irq header is a
reasonable place to put a prototype to silence the warning.

Making virt_to_pfn() a static inline taking a strongly typed
(const void *) makes the contract of a passing a pointer of that
type to the function explicit and exposes any misuse of the
macro virt_to_pfn() acting polymorphic and accepting many types
such as (void *), (unitptr_t) or (unsigned long) as arguments
without warnings.

For symmetry do the same with pfn_to_virt().

For compiletime resolution of __pa() we need PAGE_OFFSET which
was not available to __pa() and resolved by the preprocessor
wherever __pa() was used. Fix this by explicitly including
&lt;asm/mem-layout.h&gt; where required, following the pattern of the
architectures page.h file.

ioremap_uc() is only meaningful on old x86-32 systems with the PAT
extension, and on ia64 with its slightly unconventional ioremap()
behavior. So remove the ioremap_uc() definition in architecutures
other than x86 and ia64. These architectures all have asm-generic/io.h
included and will have the default ioremap_uc() definition which
returns NULL.

This changes the existing behaviour, while no need to worry about
any breakage because in the only callsite of ioremap_uc(), code
has been adjusted to eliminate the impact. Please see
atyfb_setup_generic() of drivers/video/fbdev/aty/atyfb_base.c.

If any new invocation of ioremap_uc() need be added, please consider
using ioremap() intead or adding a ARCH specific version if necessary.

Pull x86 shadow stack support from Dave Hansen:
 "This is the long awaited x86 shadow stack support, part of Intel's
  Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET).

  CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and
  indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack
  part of this feature, and just for userspace.

  The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against
  return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a
  secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has
  protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction,
  the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and
  to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops
  the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.

  For more information, refer to the links below for the earlier
  versions of this patch set"

Pull x86 shadow stack support from Dave Hansen:
 "This is the long awaited x86 shadow stack support, part of Intel's
  Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET).

  CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and
  indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack
  part of this feature, and just for userspace.

  The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against
  return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a
  secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has
  protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction,
  the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and
  to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops
  the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.

  For more information, refer to the links below for the earlier
  versions of this patch set"

Move the default (no-op) implementation of flush_icache_pages() to
&lt;linux/cacheflush.h&gt; from &lt;asm-generic/cacheflush.h&gt;.  Remove the
flush_icache_page() wrapper from each architecture into
&lt;linux/cacheflush.h&gt;.
