    Merge tag 'arc-v3.11-rc1-part1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vgupta/arc · 76d3f4c2
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull first batch of ARC changes from Vineet Gupta:
     "There's a second bunch to follow next week - which depends on commits
      on other trees (irq/net).  I'd have preferred the accompanying ARC
      change via respective trees, but it didn't workout somehow.
    
      Highlights of changes:
    
       - Continuation of ARC MM changes from 3.10 including
    
           zero page optimization
           Setting pagecache pages dirty by default
           Non executable stack by default
           Reducing dcache flushes for aliasing VIPT config
    
       - Long overdue rework of pt_regs machinery - removing the unused word
         gutters and adding ECR register to baseline (helps cleanup lot of
         low level code)
    
       - Support for ARC gcc 4.8
    
       - Few other preventive fixes, cosmetics, usage of Kconfig helper..
    
      The diffstat is larger than normal primarily because of arcregs.h
      header split as well as beautification of macros in entry.h"
