Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm
Pull ARM updates from Russell King: "Included in these updates are: - Performance optimisation to avoid writing the control register at every exception. - Use static inline instead of extern inline in ftrace code. - Crypto ARM assembly updates for big endian - Alignment of initrd/.init memory to page sizes when freeing to ensure that we fully free the regions - Add gcov support - A couple of preparatory patches for VDSO support: use _install_special_mapping, and randomize the sigpage placement above stack. - Add L2 ePAPR DT cache properties so that DT can specify the cache geometry. - Preparatory patch for FIQ (NMI) kernel C code for things like spinlock lockup debug. Following on from this are a couple of my patches cleaning up show_regs() and removing an unused (probably since 1.x days) do_unexp_fiq() function. - Use pr_warn() rather than pr_warning(). - A number of cleanups (smp, footbridge, return_address)" * 'for-linus' of git://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm: (21 commits) ARM: 8167/1: extend the reserved memory for initrd to be page aligned ARM: 8168/1: extend __init_end to a page align address ARM: 8169/1: l2c: parse cache properties from ePAPR definitions ARM: 8160/1: drop warning about return_address not using unwind tables ARM: 8161/1: footbridge: select machine dir based on ARCH_FOOTBRIDGE ARM: 8158/1: LLVMLinux: use static inline in ARM ftrace.h ARM: 8155/1: place sigpage at a random offset above stack ARM: 8154/1: use _install_special_mapping for sigpage ARM: 8153/1: Enable gcov support on the ARM architecture ARM: Avoid writing to control register on every exception ARM: 8152/1: Convert pr_warning to pr_warn ARM: remove unused do_unexp_fiq() function ARM: remove extraneous newline in show_regs() ARM: 8150/3: fiq: Replace default FIQ handler ARM: 8140/1: ep93xx: Enable DEBUG_LL_UART_PL01X ARM: 8139/1: versatile: Enable DEBUG_LL_UART_PL01X ARM: 8138/1: drop ISAR0 workaround for B15 ARM: 8136/1: sa1100: add Micro ASIC platform device ARM: 8131/1: arm/smp: Absorb boot_secondary() ARM: 8126/1: crypto: enable NEON SHA-384/SHA-512 for big endian ...

ARM cores often have a separate level 2 cache controller. There are various
implementations of the L2 cache controller with compatible programming models.
+Some of the properties that are just prefixed "cache-*" are taken from section
+3.7.3 of the ePAPR v1.1 specification which can be found at:
