- "genirq: Introduce generic irq migration for cpu hotunplugged" patch
merged from tip/irq/for-arm to allow the arm64-specific part to be
upstreamed via the arm64 tree
- CPU feature detection reworked to cope with heterogeneous systems
where CPUs may not have exactly the same features. The features
reported by the kernel via internal data structures or ELF_HWCAP are
delayed until all the CPUs are up (and before user space starts)
- Support for 16KB pages, with the additional bonus of a 36-bit VA
space, though the latter only depending on EXPERT
- Implement native {relaxed, acquire, release} atomics for arm64
- New ASID allocation algorithm which avoids IPI on roll-over, together
with TLB invalidation optimisations (using local vs global where
feasible)
- KASan support for arm64
- EFI_STUB clean-up and isolation for the kernel proper (required by
KASan)
- copy_{to,from,in}_user optimisations (sharing the memcpy template)
- perf: moving arm64 to the arm32/64 shared PMU framework
- L1_CACHE_BYTES increased to 128 to accommodate Cavium hardware
- Support for the contiguous PTE hint on kernel mapping (16 consecutive
entries may be able to use a single TLB entry)
- Generic CONFIG_HZ now used on arm64
- defconfig updates

* tag 'metag-for-v4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jhogan/metag:

metag/irq: Use access helper irq_data_get_affinity_mask()
Change metag Transparent Huge Pages (THP) support from .. to TODO. Meta2
has variable sized pages, between 4KB and 4MB, specified at the 1st
level page table level, and already supports hugetlbfs, so supporting
THP is theoretically possible too.

Pull tile updates from Chris Metcalf:
"This includes secure computing support as well as miscellaneous minor
improvements"
* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile:

tile: Remove finish_arch_switch
tile: enable full SECCOMP support
tile/time: Migrate to new 'set-state' interface
The previous patches added arch support matrices for more than 40 generic kernel features
that need per architecture support.
The structure of the feature descriptions is the following:
Each feature has its own directory under Documentation/features/subsystem_name/feature_name/,
and the arch-support.txt file shows its current arch porting status.
For example, lockdep support is shown the following way:
triton:~/tip> cat Documentation/features/locking/lockdep/arch-support.txt
#
# Feature name: lockdep
# Kconfig: LOCKDEP_SUPPORT
# description: arch supports the runtime locking correctness debug facility
#

| x86: | ok |
| xtensa: | ok |
-----------------------
For generic kernel features that need architecture support, the
arch-support.txt file in each feature directory shows the arch
support matrix, for all upstream Linux architectures.
The meaning of entries in the tables is:
| ok | # feature supported by the architecture
|TODO| # feature not yet supported by the architecture
| .. | # feature cannot be supported by the hardware
This directory structure can be used in the future to add other
files - such as porting guides, testing description, etc.
The Documentation/features/ hierarchy may also include generic
kernel features that works on every architecture, in that case
the arch-support.txt file will list every architecture as
supported.
To list an architecture's unsupported features, just do something
like:
triton:~/tip> git grep -lE 'x86.*TODO' Documentation/features/*/*/arch-support.txt
Documentation/features/lib/strncasecmp/arch-support.txt
Documentation/features/time/arch-tick-broadcast/arch-support.txt
which will print the list of not yet supported features.
The Documentation/features/list-arch.sh script will print the current
support matrix of one architecture:
triton:~/tip> Documentation/features/list-arch.sh
