Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:

 - Wire up sys_execveat(). Tested on 32 &amp; 64 bit.

 - Fix for kdump on LE systems with cpus hot unplugged.

 - Revert Anton's fix for "kernel BUG at kernel/smpboot.c:134!", this
   broke other platforms, we'll do a proper fix for 3.20.

Commit 9fc2105aeaaf ("ARM: 7830/1: delay: don't bother reporting
bogomips in /proc/cpuinfo") breaks audio in python, and probably
elsewhere, with message

  FATAL: cannot locate cpu MHz in /proc/cpuinfo

I'm not the first one to hit it, see for example

  https://theredblacktree.wordpress.com/2014/08/10/fatal-cannot-locate-cpu-mhz-in-proccpuinfo/
  https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/765800/workaround-for-fatal-cannot-locate-cpu-mhz-in-proc-cpuinf/?offset=1

Reading original changelog, I have to say "Stop breaking working setups.
You know who you are!".

Commit a074335a370e ("x86, um: Mark system call tables readonly") was
supposed to mark the sys_call_table in UML as RO by adding the const,
but it doesn't have the desired effect as it's nevertheless being placed
into the data section since __cacheline_aligned enforces sys_call_table
being placed into .data..cacheline_aligned instead. We need to use
the ____cacheline_aligned version instead to fix this issue.

Before:

$ nm -v arch/x86/um/sys_call_table_64.o | grep -1 "sys_call_table"
                 U sys_writev
0000000000000000 D sys_call_table
0000000000000000 D syscall_table_size

After:

$ nm -v arch/x86/um/sys_call_table_64.o | grep -1 "sys_call_table"
                 U sys_writev
0000000000000000 R sys_call_table
0000000000000000 D syscall_table_size

futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() does not work on UML because
it triggers a copy_from_user() in kernel context.
On UML copy_from_user() can only be used if the kernel was called
by a real user space process such that UML can use ptrace()
to fetch the value.

Follow aa0d53260596 ("ia64: Use preempt_schedule_irq") and use
preempt_schedule_irq instead of enabling/disabling interrupts and
messing around with PREEMPT_ACTIVE in the nios2 low-level preemption
code ourselves. Also get rid of the now needless re-check for
TIF_NEED_RESCHED, preempt_schedule_irq will already take care of
rescheduling.

This also fixes the following build error when building with
CONFIG_PREEMPT:

arch/nios2/kernel/built-in.o: In function `need_resched':
arch/nios2/kernel/entry.S:374: undefined reference to `PREEMPT_ACTIVE'
