Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm
Pull ARM updates from Russell King: "The major items included in here are: - MCPM, multi-cluster power management, part of the infrastructure required for ARMs big.LITTLE support. - A rework of the ARM KVM code to allow re-use by ARM64. - Error handling cleanups of the IS_ERR_OR_NULL() madness and fixes of that stuff for arch/arm - Preparatory patches for Cortex-M3 support from Uwe Kleine-König. There is also a set of three patches in here from Hugh/Catalin to address freeing of inappropriate page tables on LPAE. You already have these from akpm, but they were already part of my tree at the time he sent them, so unfortunately they'll end up with duplicate commits" * 'for-linus' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm: (77 commits) ARM: EXYNOS: remove unnecessary use of IS_ERR_VALUE() ARM: IMX: remove unnecessary use of IS_ERR_VALUE() ARM: OMAP: use consistent error checking ARM: cleanup: OMAP hwmod error checking ARM: 7709/1: mcpm: Add explicit AFLAGS to support v6/v7 multiplatform kernels ARM: 7700/2: Make cpu_init() notrace ARM: 7702/1: Set the page table freeing ceiling to TASK_SIZE ARM: 7701/1: mm: Allow arch code to control the user page table ceiling ARM: 7703/1: Disable preemption in broadcast_tlb*_a15_erratum() ARM: mcpm: provide an interface to set the SMP ops at run time ARM: mcpm: generic SMP secondary bringup and hotplug support ARM: mcpm_head.S: vlock-based first man election ARM: mcpm: Add baremetal voting mutexes ARM: mcpm: introduce helpers for platform coherency exit/setup ARM: mcpm: introduce the CPU/cluster power API ARM: multi-cluster PM: secondary kernel entry code ARM: cacheflush: add synchronization helpers for mixed cache state accesses ARM: cpu hotplug: remove majority of cache flushing from platforms ARM: smp: flush L1 cache in cpu_die() ARM: tegra: remove tegra specific cpu_disable() ...

+ * Memory synchronization helpers for mixed cached vs non cached accesses.
+ *
+ * Some synchronization algorithms have to set states in memory with the
+ * cache enabled or disabled depending on the code path. It is crucial
+ * to always ensure proper cache maintenance to update main memory right
+ * away in that case.
+ *
+ * Any cached write must be followed by a cache clean operation.
+ * Any cached read must be preceded by a cache invalidate operation.
+ * Yet, in the read case, a cache flush i.e. atomic clean+invalidate
+ * operation is needed to avoid discarding possible concurrent writes to the
+ * accessed memory.
+ *
+ * Also, in order to prevent a cached writer from interfering with an
+ * adjacent non-cached writer, each state variable must be located to
+ * a separate cache line.
