Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm
Pull second set of ARM changes from Russell King: "This is the remainder of the ARM changes for this merge window. Included in this request are: - fixes for kprobes for big-endian support - fix tracing in soft_restart - avoid phys address overflow in kdump code - fix reporting of read-only pmd bits in kernel page table dump - remove unnecessary (and possibly buggy) call to outer_flush_all() - fix a three sparse warnings (missing header file for function prototypes) - fix pj4 crashing single zImage (thanks to arm-soc merging changes which enables this with knowledge that the corresponding fix had not even been submitted for my tree before the merge window opened) - vfp macro cleanups - dump register state on undefined instruction userspace faults when debugging" * 'for-linus' of git://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm: Dump the registers on undefined instruction userspace faults ARM: 8018/1: Add {inc,dec}_preempt_count asm macros ARM: 8017/1: Move asm macro get_thread_info to asm/assembler.h ARM: 8016/1: Check cpu id in pj4_cp0_init. ARM: 8015/1: Add cpu_is_pj4 to distinguish PJ4 because it has some differences with V7 ARM: add missing system_misc.h include to process.c ARM: 8009/1: dcscb.c: remove call to outer_flush_all() ARM: 8014/1: mm: fix reporting of read-only PMD bits ARM: 8012/1: kdump: Avoid overflow when converting pfn to physaddr ARM: 8010/1: avoid tracers in soft_restart ARM: kprobes-test: Workaround GAS .align bug ARM: kprobes-test: use <asm/opcodes.h> for Thumb instruction building ARM: kprobes-test: use <asm/opcodes.h> for ARM instruction building ARM: kprobes-test: use <asm/opcodes.h> for instruction accesses ARM: probes: fix instruction fetch order with <asm/opcodes.h>
