Since commit 64e2a42bca ("parisc: Add ARCH_TRACEHOOK and regset
support") in v4.7, parisc selects HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK, so update its
entry in Documentation/features from TODO to ok.

Highlights include:
- Larger virtual address space on 64-bit server CPUs. By default we use a 128TB
virtual address space, but a process can request access to the full 512TB by
passing a hint to mmap().
- Support for the new Power9 "XIVE" interrupt controller.
- TLB flushing optimisations for the radix MMU on Power9.
- Support for CAPI cards on Power9, using the "Coherent Accelerator Interface
Architecture 2.0".
- The ability to configure the mmap randomisation limits at build and runtime.
- Several small fixes and cleanups to the kprobes code, as well as support for
KPROBES_ON_FTRACE.
- Major improvements to handling of system reset interrupts, correctly treating
them as NMIs, giving them a dedicated stack and using a new hypervisor call
to trigger them, all of which should aid debugging and robustness.
Many fixes and other minor enhancements.

Allow kprobes to be placed on ftrace _mcount() call sites. This optimization
avoids the use of a trap, by riding on ftrace infrastructure.
This depends on HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS which depends on MPROFILE_KERNEL,
which is only currently enabled on powerpc64le with newer toolchains.

- Initial page table creation reworked to avoid breaking large block
mappings (huge pages) into smaller ones. The ARM architecture requires
break-before-make in such cases to avoid TLB conflicts but that's not
always possible on live page tables
- Kernel virtual memory layout: the kernel image is no longer linked to
the bottom of the linear mapping (PAGE_OFFSET) but at the bottom of
the vmalloc space, allowing the kernel to be loaded (nearly) anywhere
in physical RAM
- Kernel ASLR: position independent kernel Image and modules being
randomly mapped in the vmalloc space with the randomness is provided
by UEFI (efi_get_random_bytes() patches merged via the arm64 tree,
acked by Matt Fleming)
- Implement relative exception tables for arm64, required by KASLR
(initial code for ARCH_HAS_RELATIVE_EXTABLE added to lib/extable.c but
actual x86 conversion to deferred to 4.7 because of the merge
dependencies)
- Support for the User Access Override feature of ARMv8.2: this allows
uaccess functions (get_user etc.) to be implemented using LDTR/STTR
instructions. Such instructions, when run by the kernel, perform
unprivileged accesses adding an extra level of protection. The
set_fs() macro is used to "upgrade" such instruction to privileged
accesses via the UAO bit

arm64: lse: deal with clobbered IP registers after branch via PLT

arm64: mm: Mark .rodata as RO
...
This wires up the existing generic huge-vmap feature, which allows
ioremap() to use PMD or PUD sized block mappings. It also adds support
to the unmap path for dealing with block mappings, which will allow us
to unmap the __init region using unmap_kernel_range() in a subsequent
patch.

Commit 669f6f96c6 introduced
the script list-arch.sh, which uses the command "arch":
ARCH=${1:-$(arch | sed 's/x86_64/x86/' | sed 's/i386/x86/')}
It turns out that the "arch" command does not exist in my system (arch
distro). Google found man pages which say "arch is deprecated command since
release util-linux 2.13. Use uname -m" (util-linux 2.13 was released in 2007).
I also found a debian bug reporting the lack of arch and being told to use
uname -m https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=446023
But then, why it works in some distros? Apparently coreutils gained an
optional arch command that needs to be explicitly enabled during compilation.
Some distros enable it, others don't. Sigh.

- IRQ rework by Anton Ivanov"
* 'for-linus-4.5-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rw/uml:
um: Use race-free temporary file creation
um: Do not set unsecure permission for temporary file
um: Fix build error and kconfig for i386
um: Add seccomp support
um: Add full asm/syscall.h support
selftests/seccomp: Remove the need for HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK
um: Fix ptrace GETREGS/SETREGS bugs
um: link with -lpthread
um: Update UBD to use pread/pwrite family of functions
um: Do not change hard IRQ flags in soft IRQ processing
um: Prevent IRQ handler reentrancy
uml: flush stdout before forking
uml: fix hostfs mknod()
This brings SECCOMP_MODE_STRICT and SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER support through
prctl(2) and seccomp(2) to User-mode Linux for i386 and x86_64
subarchitectures.
secure_computing() is called first in handle_syscall() so that the
syscall emulation will be aborted quickly if matching a seccomp rule.

Merge tag 'metag-for-v4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jhogan/metag
Pull metag updates from James Hogan:
"Metag architecture changes for v4.3.
Just a couple of changes for v4.3-rc1. A preparatory IRQ patch to
prepare for moving irq_data struct members, and a tweak to
Documentation/features since Meta2 could support THP"
* tag 'metag-for-v4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jhogan/metag:
Documentation/features/vm: Meta2 is capable of THP
metag/irq: Use access helper irq_data_get_affinity_mask()
Change metag Transparent Huge Pages (THP) support from .. to TODO. Meta2
has variable sized pages, between 4KB and 4MB, specified at the 1st
level page table level, and already supports hugetlbfs, so supporting
THP is theoretically possible too.

Pull tile updates from Chris Metcalf:
"This includes secure computing support as well as miscellaneous minor
improvements"
* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile:
tile: correct some typos in opcode type names
tile/vdso: emit a GNU hash as well
tile: Remove finish_arch_switch
tile: enable full SECCOMP support
tile/time: Migrate to new 'set-state' interface
The previous patches added arch support matrices for more than 40 generic kernel features
that need per architecture support.
The structure of the feature descriptions is the following:
Each feature has its own directory under Documentation/features/subsystem_name/feature_name/,
and the arch-support.txt file shows its current arch porting status.
For example, lockdep support is shown the following way:
triton:~/tip> cat Documentation/features/locking/lockdep/arch-support.txt
#
# Feature name: lockdep
# Kconfig: LOCKDEP_SUPPORT
# description: arch supports the runtime locking correctness debug facility
#

-----------------------
For generic kernel features that need architecture support, the
arch-support.txt file in each feature directory shows the arch
support matrix, for all upstream Linux architectures.
The meaning of entries in the tables is:
| ok | # feature supported by the architecture
|TODO| # feature not yet supported by the architecture
| .. | # feature cannot be supported by the hardware
This directory structure can be used in the future to add other
files - such as porting guides, testing description, etc.
The Documentation/features/ hierarchy may also include generic
kernel features that works on every architecture, in that case
the arch-support.txt file will list every architecture as
supported.
To list an architecture's unsupported features, just do something
like:
triton:~/tip> git grep -lE 'x86.*TODO' Documentation/features/*/*/arch-support.txt
Documentation/features/lib/strncasecmp/arch-support.txt
Documentation/features/time/arch-tick-broadcast/arch-support.txt
which will print the list of not yet supported features.
The Documentation/features/list-arch.sh script will print the current
support matrix of one architecture:
triton:~/tip> Documentation/features/list-arch.sh
