      kbuild: Allow arch Makefiles to override {cpp,ld,c}flags · 61754c18
      Michal Marek authored
      Since commit a1c48bb1 (Makefile: Fix unrecognized cross-compiler command
      line options), the arch Makefile is included earlier by the main
      Makefile, preventing the arc architecture to set its -O3 compiler
      option. Since there might be more use cases for an arch Makefile to
      fine-tune the options, add support for ARCH_CPPFLAGS, ARCH_AFLAGS and
      ARCH_CFLAGS variables that are appended to the respective kbuild
      variables. The user still has the final say via the KCPPFLAGS, KAFLAGS
      and KCFLAGS variables.

      ARCv2: guard SLC DMA ops with spinlock · b607eddd
      Alexey Brodkin authored
      SLC maintenance ops need to be serialized by software as there is no
      inherent buffering / quequing of aux commands. It can silently ignore a
      new aux operation if previous one is still ongoing (SLC_CTRL_BUSY)
      
      So gaurd the SLC op using a spin lock
      
      The spin lock doesn't seem to be contended even in heavy workloads such
      as iperf. On FPGA @ 75 MHz.

      bluetooth: fix list handling · 9b284cbd
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Commit 835a6a2f ("Bluetooth: Stop sabotaging list poisoning")
      thought that the code was sabotaging the list poisoning when NULL'ing
      out the list pointers and removed it.
      
      But what was going on was that the bluetooth code was using NULL
      pointers for the list as a way to mark it empty, and that commit just
      broke it (and replaced the test with NULL with a "list_empty()" test on
      a uninitialized list instead, breaking things even further).
      
      So fix it all up to use the regular and real list_empty() handling
      (which does not use NULL, but a pointer to itself), also making sure to
      initialize the list properly (the previous NULL case was initialized
      implicitly by the session being allocated with kzalloc())
      
      This is a combination of patches by Marcel Holtmann and Tedd Ho-Jeong
      An.
      
      [ I would normally expect to get this through the bt tree, but I'm going
        to release -rc1, so I'm just committing this directly   - Linus ]
