Pull two ARM fixes from Russell King:
"It's been fairly quiet with the fixes. Just two this time. One fixes
a long standing problem with KALLSYMS needing an additional pass, and
the other sorts a problem with the vmalloc space interacting with
static IO mappings."* 'fixes' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm:

On ARM with the 2-level page table format, a PMD entry is represented by
two consecutive section entries covering 2MB of virtual space.However, static mappings always were allowed to use separate 1MB section
entries. This means in practice that a static mapping may create half
populated PMDs via create_mapping().Since commit 0536bdf33f (ARM: move iotable mappings within the vmalloc
region) those static mappings are located in the vmalloc area. We must
ensure no such half populated PMDs are accessible once vmalloc() or
ioremap() start looking at the vmalloc area for nearby free virtual
address ranges, or various things leading to a kernel crash will happen.Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre

The acpi_pad driver can get stuck in destroy_power_saving_task()
waiting for kthread_stop() to stop a power_saving thread. The problem
is that the isolated_cpus_lock mutex is owned when
destroy_power_saving_task() calls kthread_stop(), which waits for a
power_saving thread to end, and the power_saving thread tries to
acquire the isolated_cpus_lock when it calls round_robin_cpu(). This
patch fixes the issue by making round_robin_cpu() use its own mutex.https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42981

Continuation lines are buffered internally, intended to merge the
chunked printk()s into a single record, and to isolate potentially
racy continuation users from usual terminated line users.This though, has the effect that partial lines are not printed to
the console in the moment they are emitted. In case the kernel
crashes in the meantime, the potentially interesting printed
information would never reach the consoles.Here we share the continuation buffer with the console copy logic,
and partial lines are always immediately flushed to the available
consoles. They are still buffered internally to improve the
readability and integrity of the messages and minimize the amount
of needed record headers to store.Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers

Commit f948501b36c6 ("Make hard_irq_disable() actually hard-disable
interrupts") caused check_and_cede_processor to stop working.
->irq_happened will never be zero right after a hard_irq_disable
so the compiler removes the call to cede_processor completely.The bug was introduced back in the lazy interrupt handling rework
of 3.4 but was hidden until recently because hard_irq_disable did
nothing.This issue will eventually appear in 3.4 stable since the
hard_irq_disable fix is marked stable, so mark this one for stable
too.Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard

As I was adding code that affects all archs, I started testing function
tracer against PPC64 and found that it currently locks up with 3.4
kernel. I figured it was due to tracing a function that shouldn't be, so
I went through the following process to bisect to find the culprit:cat /debug/tracing/available_filter_functions > t
num=`wc -l t`
sed -ne "1,${num}p" t > t1
let num=num+1
sed -ne "${num},$p" t > t2
cat t1 > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
echo function /debug/tracing/current_tracer
It finally came down to this function: restore_interrupts()
I'm not sure why this locks up the system. It just seems to prevent
scheduling from occurring. Interrupts seem to still work, as I can ping
the box. But all user processes freeze.When restore_interrupts() is not traced, function tracing works fine.

In entry_64.S version of ret_from_except_lite, you'll notice that
in the !preempt case, after we've checked MSR_PR we test for any
TIF flag in _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK to decide whether to go to do_work
or not. However, in the preempt case, we do a convoluted trick to
test SIGPENDING only if PR was set and always test NEED_RESCHED ...
but we forget to test any other bit of _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK !!! So
that means that with preempt, we completely fail to test for things
like single step, syscall tracing, etc...This should be fixed as the following path:
- Test PR. If not set, go to resume_kernel, else continue.
- If go resume_kernel, to do that original do_work.
- If else, then always test for _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK to decide to do
that original user_work, else restore directly.Signed-off-by: Tiejun Chen
