Merge tag 'metag-for-v3.15-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jhogan/metag
Pull Metag architecture and related fixes from James Hogan: "Mostly fixes for metag and parisc relating to upgrowing stacks. - Fix missing compiler barriers in metag memory barriers. - Fix BUG_ON on metag when RLIMIT_STACK hard limit is increased beyond safe value. - Make maximum stack size configurable. This reduces the default user stack size back to 80MB (especially on parisc after their removal of _STK_LIM_MAX override). This only affects metag and parisc. - Remove metag _STK_LIM_MAX override to match other arches and follow parisc, now that it is safe to do so (due to the BUG_ON fix mentioned above). - Finally now that both metag and parisc _STK_LIM_MAX overrides have been removed, it makes sense to remove _STK_LIM_MAX altogether" * tag 'metag-for-v3.15-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jhogan/metag: asm-generic: remove _STK_LIM_MAX metag: Remove _STK_LIM_MAX override parisc,metag: Do not hardcode maximum userspace stack size metag: Reduce maximum stack size to 256MB metag: fix memory barriers
