Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm
Pull more ARM updates from Russell King. This got a fair number of conflicts with the <asm/system.h> split, but also with some other sparse-irq and header file include cleanups. They all looked pretty trivial, though. * 'for-linus' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm: (59 commits) ARM: fix Kconfig warning for HAVE_BPF_JIT ARM: 7361/1: provide XIP_VIRT_ADDR for no-MMU builds ARM: 7349/1: integrator: convert to sparse irqs ARM: 7259/3: net: JIT compiler for packet filters ARM: 7334/1: add jump label support ARM: 7333/2: jump label: detect %c support for ARM ARM: 7338/1: add support for early console output via semihosting ARM: use set_current_blocked() and block_sigmask() ARM: exec: remove redundant set_fs(USER_DS) ARM: 7332/1: extract out code patch function from kprobes ARM: 7331/1: extract out insn generation code from ftrace ARM: 7330/1: ftrace: use canonical Thumb-2 wide instruction format ARM: 7351/1: ftrace: remove useless memory checks ARM: 7316/1: kexec: EOI active and mask all interrupts in kexec crash path ARM: Versatile Express: add NO_IOPORT ARM: get rid of asm/irq.h in asm/prom.h ARM: 7319/1: Print debug info for SIGBUS in user faults ARM: 7318/1: gic: refactor irq_start assignment ARM: 7317/1: irq: avoid NULL check in for_each_irq_desc loop ARM: 7315/1: perf: add support for the Cortex-A7 PMU ...

+ config DEBUG_SEMIHOSTING
+ bool "Kernel low-level debug output via semihosting I"
+ help
+ Semihosting enables code running on an ARM target to use
+ the I/O facilities on a host debugger/emulator through a
+ simple SVC calls. The host debugger or emulator must have
+ semihosting enabled for the special svc call to be trapped
+ otherwise the kernel will crash.
+
+ This is known to work with OpenOCD, as wellas
+ ARM's Fast Models, or any other controlling environment
+ that implements semihosting.
+
+ For more details about semihosting, please see
+ chapter 8 of DUI0203I_rvct_developer_guide.pdf from ARM Ltd.
