4260415f6a ARM: fix build error in arch/arm/kernel/process.c
/tmp/ccJ3ssZW.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccJ3ssZW.s:1952: Error: can't resolve `.text' {.text section} - `.LFB1077'

This is caused because:

	.section .data
	.section .text
	.section .text
	.previous

does not return us to the .text section, but the .data section; this
makes use of .previous dangerous if the ordering of previous sections
is not known.

Fix up the other users of .previous; .pushsection and .popsection are
a safer pairing to use than .section and .previous.

a1f98849fd [ARM] allow for alternative __copy_to_user/__clear_user implementations
This allows for optional alternative implementations of __copy_to_user
and __clear_user, with a possible runtime fallback to the standard
version when the alternative provides no gain over that standard
version. This is done by making the standard __copy_to_user into a weak
alias for the symbol __copy_to_user_std.  Same thing for __clear_user.

Those two functions are particularly good candidates to have alternative
implementations for, since they rely on the STRT instruction which has
lower performances than STM instructions on some CPU cores such as
the ARM1176 and Marvell Feroceon.

87c52578bd [ARM] Remove linux/sched.h from asm/cacheflush.h and asm/uaccess.h
... and fix those drivers that were incorrectly relying upon
that include.

59f0cb0fdd [ARM] remove memzero()
As suggested by Andrew Morton, remove memzero() - it's not supported
on other architectures so use of it is a potential build breaking bug.
Since the compiler optimizes memset(x,0,n) to __memzero() perfectly
well, we don't miss out on the underlying benefits of memzero().

4e6a0c397f [ARM] 5230/1: Replace post-indexed LDRT/STRT in uaccess.h
The post-index immediate value is optional if it is 0 and this patch
removes it. The reason is to allow such instructions to compile to
Thumb-2 where only pre-indexed LDRT/STRT instructions are allowed.

4baa992243 [ARM] move include/asm-arm to arch/arm/include/asm
Move platform independent header files to arch/arm/include/asm, leaving
those in asm/arch* and asm/plat* alone.
