Santosh Shilimkar d7ed36a4ea ARM: 6777/1: gic: Add hooks for architecture specific extensions
Few architectures combine the GIC with an external interrupt
controller. On such systems it may be necessary to update both
the GIC registers and the external controller's registers to control
IRQ behavior.

This can be addressed in couple of possible methods.
 1. Export common GIC routines along with 'struct irq_chip gic_chip'
    and allow architectures to have custom function by override.
 2. Provide architecture specific function pointer hooks
    within GIC library and leave platforms to add the necessary
    code as part of these hooks.

First one might be non-intrusive but have few shortcomings like arch
needs to have there own custom gic library. Locks used should be
common since it caters to same IRQs etc. Maintenance point of view
also it leads to multiple file fixes.

The second probably is cleaner and portable. It ensures that all the
common GIC infrastructure is not touched and also provides archs to
address their specific issue.

Srinidhi Kasagar 885028e4ba ARM: 6741/1: errata: pl310 cache sync operation may be faulty
The effect of cache sync operation is to drain the store buffer and
wait for all internal buffers to be empty. In normal conditions, store
buffer is able to merge the normal memory writes within its 32-byte
data buffers.  Due to this erratum present in r3p0, the effect of cache
sync operation on the store buffer still remains when the operation
completes. This means that the store buffer is always asked to drain
and this prevents it from merging any further writes.

This can severely affect performance on the write traffic esp. on
Normal memory NC one.

The proposed workaround is to replace the normal offset of cache sync
operation(0x730) by another offset targeting an unmapped PL310
register 0x740.

Pawel Moll baaece2245 ARM: 6635/2: Configure reference clock for Versatile Express timers
Timers on Versatile Express mainboard are used as system clock/event
sources. Driver assumes that they are clocked with 1MHz signal.
Old V2M firmware apparently configured it by default, but on newer
boards one can observe that "sleep 1" command takes over 30 seconds
to finish, as the timers are fed with 32kHz instead...

This patch performs required magic and also removes code clearing
timer's control registers, as exactly the same operations are
performed by the timer driver few jiffies later.

Roel Kluin f1acb878b6 iop-adma: redundant/wrong tests in iop_*_count()?
When we reach the loop, len is at least 1, we only stay in the loop when
len is at least MAX_BYTE_COUNT + 1, MAX_BYTE_COUNT is subtracted in each
iteration. So when we leave the loop, or didn't take it, len is at least 1.
Testing whether len is non-zero appears redundant.

Alexander Shishkin c5d6c7708c ARM: 5841/1: a driver for on-chip ETM and ETB
This driver implements support for on-chip Embedded Tracing Macrocell and
Embedded Trace Buffer. It allows to trigger tracing of kernel execution flow
and exporting trace output to userspace via character device and a sysrq
combo.

Trace output can then be decoded by a fairly simple open source tool [1]
which is already sufficient to get the idea of what the kernel is doing.
