Pull straggler x86 fixes from Peter Anvin:
 "Three groups of patches:

  - EFI boot stub documentation and the ability to print error messages;
  - Removal for PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL for x32 (obsolete interface which
    should never have been ported, and the port is broken and
    potentially dangerous.)
  - ftrace stack corruption fixes.  I'm not super-happy about the
    technical implementation, but it is probably the least invasive in
    the short term.  In the future I would like a single method for
    nesting the debug stack, however."

  x86, x32, ptrace: Remove PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL for x32

Pull vfs fix and a fix from the signal changes for frv from Al Viro.

The __kernel_nlink_t for powerpc got scrogged because 64-bit powerpc
actually depended on the default "unsigned long", while 32-bit powerpc
had an explicit override to "unsigned short".  Al didn't notice, and
made both of them be the unsigned short.

The frv signal fix is fallout from simplifying the do_notify_resume()
code, and leaving an extra parenthesis.

commit e57f93cc53b7 (powerpc: get rid of nlink_t uses, switch to
explicitly-sized type) changed the size of st_nlink on ppc64 from
a long to a short, resulting in boot failures.

Pull arm fixes for ux500 mismerge mishap from Arnd Bergmann:
 "The device tree conversion for arm/ux500 in 3.5 turns out to be
  incomplete because of a mismerge done by Linus Walleij that I failed
  to notice early enough and that Lee Jones as the original author of
  those patches did not manage to fix during the -next cycle.  While we
  originally to get a much larger set of ux500 device tree enablement
  patches merged, this did not happen in time.

  After some discussion at Linaro Connect conference this week, Lee has
  been able to do damage control and provide a series to put the broken
  platform back into usable shape for both DT and non-DT based booting.

  This series has not been part of linux-next and is based on top of the
  current state of the upstream kernel rather than an -rc, but this is
  the best we could manage given the earlier breakage."

<title>x86, x32, ptrace: Remove PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL for x32</title>

<content type='text'>
When I added x32 ptrace to 3.4 kernel, I also include PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL
support for x32 GDB  For ARCH_GET_FS/GS, it takes a pointer to int64.  But
at user level, ARCH_GET_FS/GS takes a pointer to int32.  So I have to add
x32 ptrace to glibc to handle it with a temporary int64 passed to kernel and
copy it back to GDB as int32.  Roland suggested that PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL
is obsolete and x32 GDB should use fs_base and gs_base fields of
user_regs_struct instead.

Accordingly, remove PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL completely from the x32 code to
avoid possible memory overrun when pointer to int32 is passed to
kernel.
