<content type='text'>
This patch drops support for AVR32 architecture from the Linux kernel.

The AVR32 architecture is not keeping up with the development of the
kernel, and since it shares so much of the drivers with Atmel ARM SoC,
it is starting to hinder these drivers to develop swiftly.

Also, all AVR32 AP7 SoC processors are end of lifed from Atmel (now
Microchip).

Finally, the GCC toolchain is stuck at version 4.2.x, and has not
received any patches since the last release from Atmel;
4.2.4-atmel.1.1.3.avr32linux.1. When building kernel v4.10, this
toolchain is no longer able to properly link the network stack.

Haavard and I have came to the conclusion that we feel keeping AVR32 on
life support offers more obstacles for Atmel ARMs, than it gives joy to
AVR32 users. I also suspect there are very few AVR32 users left today,
if anybody at all.

<title>sched/cputime: Remove generic asm headers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b672592f022152155fde7db99aafbcf04a2c3ba5</id>
<content type='text'>
cputime_t is now only used by two architectures:

	* powerpc (when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE=y)
	* s390

And since the core doesn't use it anymore, we don't need any arch support
from the others. So we can remove their stub implementations.

A final cleanup would be to provide an efficient pure arch
implementation of cputime_to_nsec() for s390 and powerpc and finally
remove include/linux/cputime.h .

<title>Merge branch 'strscpy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile</title>

<content type='text'>
Pull strscpy string copy function implementation from Chris Metcalf.

Chris sent this during the merge window, but I waffled back and forth on
the pull request, which is why it's going in only now.

The new "strscpy()" function is definitely easier to use and more secure
than either strncpy() or strlcpy(), both of which are horrible nasty
interfaces that have serious and irredeemable problems.

strncpy() has a useless return value, and doesn't NUL-terminate an
overlong result.  To make matters worse, it pads a short result with
zeroes, which is a performance disaster if you have big buffers.

strlcpy(), by contrast, is a mis-designed "fix" for strlcpy(), lacking
the insane NUL padding, but having a differently broken return value
which returns the original length of the source string.  Which means
that it will read characters past the count from the source buffer, and
you have to trust the source to be properly terminated.  It also makes
error handling fragile, since the test for overflow is unnecessarily
subtle.

strscpy() avoids both these problems, guaranteeing the NUL termination
(but not excessive padding) if the destination size wasn't zero, and
making the overflow condition very obvious by returning -E2BIG.  It also
doesn't read past the size of the source, and can thus be used for
untrusted source data too.

So why did I waffle about this for so long?

Every time we introduce a new-and-improved interface, people start doing
these interminable series of trivial conversion patches.

And every time that happens, somebody does some silly mistake, and the
conversion patch to the improved interface actually makes things worse.
Because the patch is mindnumbing and trivial, nobody has the attention
span to look at it carefully, and it's usually done over large swatches
of source code which means that not every conversion gets tested.

So I'm pulling the strscpy() support because it *is* a better interface.
But I will refuse to pull mindless conversion patches.  Use this in
places where it makes sense, but don't do trivial patches to fix things
that aren't actually known to be broken.

* 'strscpy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile:
  tile: use global strscpy() rather than private copy
  string: provide strscpy()
  Make asm/word-at-a-time.h available on all architectures

<title>mm: clean up per architecture MM hook header files</title>

Commit 2ae416b142b6 ("mm: new mm hook framework") introduced an empty
header file (mm-arch-hooks.h) for every architecture, even those which
doesn't need to define mm hooks.

As suggested by Geert Uytterhoeven, this could be cleaned through the use
of a generic header file included via each per architecture
asm/include/Kbuild file.

The PowerPC architecture is not impacted here since this architecture has
to defined the arch_remap MM hook.

Added the x86 implementation of word-at-a-time to the
generic version, which previously only supported big-endian.

Omitted the x86-specific load_unaligned_zeropad(), which in
any case is also not present for the existing BE-only
implementation of a word-at-a-time, and is only used under
CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS.

Added as a "generic-y" to the Kbuilds of all architectures
that didn't previously have it.

As there are now no remaining users of arch_fast_hash(), lets kill
it entirely.

This basically reverts commit 71ae8aac3e19 ("lib: introduce arch
optimized hash library") and follow-up work, that is f.e., commit
237217546d44 ("lib: hash: follow-up fixups for arch hash"),
commit e3fec2f74f7f ("lib: Add missing arch generic-y entries for
asm-generic/hash.h") and last but not least commit 6a02652df511
("perf tools: Fix include for non x86 architectures").

The nohz full code needs irq work to trigger its own interrupt so that
the subsystem can work even when the tick is stopped.

Lets introduce arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() that archs can override to
tell about their support for this ability.
