Some architectures have symbol prefixes and set CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX,
but this wasn't taken into account by the generic cond_syscall. It's
easy enough to fix in a generic fashion, so add the symbol prefix to
symbol names in cond_syscall when CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set.

Make asm-generic/io.h check CONFIG_VIRT_TO_BUS before defining
virt_to_bus() and bus_to_virt(), otherwise it's easy to accidentally
have a silently failing incorrect direct mapped definition rather then
no definition at all.

Pull new ARC architecture from Vineet Gupta:
 "Initial ARC Linux port with some fixes on top for 3.9-rc1:

  I would like to introduce the Linux port to ARC Processors (from
  Synopsys) for 3.9-rc1.  The patch-set has been discussed on the public
  lists since Nov and has received a fair bit of review, specially from
  Arnd, tglx, Al and other subsystem maintainers for DeviceTree, kgdb...

  The arch bits are in arch/arc, some asm-generic changes (acked by
  Arnd), a minor change to PARISC (acked by Helge).

  The series is a touch bigger for a new port for 2 main reasons:

   1. It enables a basic kernel in first sub-series and adds
      ptrace/kgdb/.. later

   2. Some of the fallout of review (DeviceTree support, multi-platform-
      image support) were added on top of orig series, primarily to
      record the revision history.

  This updated pull request additionally contains

   - fixes due to our GNU tools catching up with the new syscall/ptrace
     ABI

   - some (minor) cross-arch Kconfig updates."

* tag 'arc-v3.9-rc1-late' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vgupta/arc: (82 commits)
  ARC: split elf.h into uapi and export it for userspace
  ARC: Fixup the current ABI version
  ARC: gdbserver using regset interface possibly broken
  ARC: Kconfig cleanup tracking cross-arch Kconfig pruning in merge window
  ARC: make a copy of flat DT
  ARC: [plat-arcfpga] DT arc-uart bindings change: "baud" =&gt; "current-speed"
  ARC: Ensure CONFIG_VIRT_TO_BUS is not enabled
  ARC: Fix pt_orig_r8 access
  ARC: [3.9] Fallout of hlist iterator update
  ARC: 64bit RTSC timestamp hardware issue
  ARC: Don't fiddle with non-existent caches
  ARC: Add self to MAINTAINERS

timeval_to_cputime() is always passed a constant timeval in
argument, we need to teach the nsecs based cputime
implementation about that.

Pull signal handling cleanups from Al Viro:
 "This is the first pile; another one will come a bit later and will
  contain SYSCALL_DEFINE-related patches.

   - a bunch of signal-related syscalls (both native and compat)
     unified.

   - a bunch of compat syscalls switched to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE
     (fixing several potential problems with missing argument
     validation, while we are at it)

   - a lot of now-pointless wrappers killed

   - a couple of architectures (cris and hexagon) forgot to save
     altstack settings into sigframe, even though they used the
     (uninitialized) values in sigreturn; fixed.

   - microblaze fixes for delivery of multiple signals arriving at once

   - saner set of helpers for signal delivery introduced, several
     architectures switched to using those."

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal: (143 commits)
  x86: convert to ksignal
  sparc: convert to ksignal
  arm: switch to struct ksignal * passing
  alpha: pass k_sigaction and siginfo_t using ksignal pointer
  burying unused conditionals
  make do_sigaltstack() static
  arm64: switch to generic old sigaction() (compat-only)
  arm64: switch to generic compat rt_sigaction()

  arm64: switch to generic compat rt_sigpending()
  arm64: switch to generic compat rt_sigprocmask()
  arm64: switch to generic sigaltstack

  sparc: COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE does all sign-extension as well as SYSCALL_DEFINE
  sparc: kill sign-extending wrappers for native syscalls
  kill sparc32_open()

Pull core locking changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest change is the rwsem lock-steal improvements, both to the
  assembly optimized and the spinlock based variants.

  The other notable change is the clean up of the seqlock implementation
  to be based on the seqcount infrastructure.

  The rest is assorted smaller debuggability, cleanup and continued -rt
  locking changes."

* 'core-locking-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  rwsem-spinlock: Implement writer lock-stealing for better scalability
  futex: Revert "futex: Mark get_robust_list as deprecated"
  generic: Use raw local irq variant for generic cmpxchg
  lockdep: Selftest: convert spinlock to raw spinlock
  seqlock: Use seqcount infrastructure
  seqlock: Remove unused functions
  ntp: Make ntp_lock raw
  intel_idle: Convert i7300_idle_lock to raw_spinlock
  locking: Various static lock initializer fixes
  lockdep: Print more info when MAX_LOCK_DEPTH is exceeded
  rwsem: Implement writer lock-stealing for better scalability
  lockdep: Silence warning if CONFIG_LOCKDEP isn't set
  watchdog: Use local_clock for get_timestamp()
  lockdep: Rename print_unlock_inbalance_bug() to print_unlock_imbalance_bug()
  locking/stat: Fix a typo
