Pull arch signal handling cleanup from Richard Weinberger:
 "This patch series moves all remaining archs to the get_signal(),
  signal_setup_done() and sigsp() functions.

  Currently these archs use open coded variants of the said functions.
  Further, unused parameters get removed from get_signal_to_deliver(),
  tracehook_signal_handler() and signal_delivered().

  At the end of the day we save around 500 lines of code."

<id>3a6bfbc91df04b081a44d419e0260bad54abddf7</id>
<content type='text'>
The arch_mutex_cpu_relax() function, introduced by 34b133f, is
hacky and ugly. It was added a few years ago to address the fact
that common cpu_relax() calls include yielding on s390, and thus
impact the optimistic spinning functionality of mutexes. Nowadays
we use this function well beyond mutexes: rwsem, qrwlock, mcs and
lockref. Since the macro that defines the call is in the mutex header,
any users must include mutex.h and the naming is misleading as well.

This patch (i) renames the call to cpu_relax_lowlatency  ("relax, but
only if you can do it with very low latency") and (ii) defines it in
each arch's asm/processor.h local header, just like for regular cpu_relax
functions. On all archs, except s390, cpu_relax_lowlatency is simply cpu_relax,
and thus we can take it out of mutex.h. While this can seem redundant,
I believe it is a good choice as it allows us to move out arch specific
logic from generic locking primitives and enables future(?) archs to
transparently define it, similarly to System Z.

When sysmem reservation occurs exactly at the end of an existing block
that block is deleted, because it is incorrectly included in the range
of memblocks to remove. Fix that by skipping such block.

When sysmem reservation occurs exactly at the end of an existing block
that block is deleted, because it is incorrectly included in the range
of memblocks to remove. Fix that by skipping such block.

<title>xtensa: add fixup for double exception raised in window overflow</title>

<content type='text'>
There are two FIXMEs in the double exception handler 'for the extremely
unlikely case'. This case gets hit by gcc during kernel build once in
a few hours, resulting in an unrecoverable exception condition.

Provide missing fixup routine to handle this case. Double exception
literals now need 8 more bytes, add them to the linker script.

Also replace bbsi instructions with bbsi.l as we're branching depending
on 8th and 7th LSB-based bits of exception address.

This may be tested by adding the explicit DTLB invalidation to window
overflow handlers, like the following:

    --- a/arch/xtensa/kernel/vectors.S

    @@ -592,6 +592,14 @@ ENDPROC(_WindowUnderflow4)

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 - Optimised assembly string/memory routines (based on the AArch64
   Cortex Strings library contributed to glibc but re-licensed under
   GPLv2)
 - Optimised crypto algorithms making use of the ARMv8 crypto extensions
   (together with kernel API for using FPSIMD instructions in interrupt
   context)
 - Ftrace support
 - CPU topology parsing from DT
 - ESR_EL1 (Exception Syndrome Register) exposed to user space signal
   handlers for SIGSEGV/SIGBUS (useful to emulation tools like Qemu)
 - 1GB section linear mapping if applicable
 - Barriers usage clean-up
 - Default pgprot clean-up

Conflicts as per Catalin.

Pull DeviceTree updates from Rob Herring:
 - Another round of clean-up of FDT related code in architecture code.
   This removes knowledge of internal FDT details from most
   architectures except powerpc.
 - Conversion of kernel's custom FDT parsing code to use libfdt.
 - DT based initialization for generic serial earlycon.  The
   introduction of generic serial earlycon support went in through the
   tty tree.
 - Improve the platform device naming for DT probed devices to ensure
   unique naming and use parent names instead of a global index.
 - Fix a race condition in of_update_property.
 - Unify the various linker section OF match tables and fix several
   function prototype errors.
 - Update platform_get_irq_byname to work in deferred probe cases.
 - 2 binding doc updates
