Pull ARM SoC platform updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "These are updates for platform specific code on 32-bit ARM machines,
  essentially anything that can not (yet) be expressed using DT files.

  Noteworthy changes include:

   - Added support for the TI DRA71x family of SoCs in mach-omap2, this
     is an new variant of the the DRA72x/DRA74x automotive infotainment
     chips we already supported for a while.

   - Added support for the ST STM32F746 SoC, the first Cortex-M7 based
     microcontroller we support, related to the smaller STM32F4 family.

   - Renesas adds support for r8a7743 and r8a7745 in mach-shmobile, see
     http://elinux.org/RZ-G

   - SMP is now supported on the OX820 platform

   - A lot of code in mach-omap2 gets removed as a follow-up to removing
     support for board files in the previous release

   - Davinci has some new work to improve USB support

   - For i.MX, the performance monitor now supports profiling the memory
     controller using 'perf'"

<title>ARM: Drop fixed 200 Hz timer requirement from Samsung platforms</title>

<content type='text'>
All Samsung platforms, including the Exynos, are selecting HZ_FIXED with
200 Hz.  Unfortunately in case of multiplatform image this affects also
other platforms when Exynos is enabled.

This looks like an very old legacy code, dating back to initial
upstreaming of S3C24xx.  Probably it was required for s3c24xx timer
driver, which was removed in commit ad38bdd15d5b ("ARM: SAMSUNG: Remove
unused plat-samsung/time.c").

Since then, this fixed 200 Hz spread everywhere, including out-of-tree
Samsung kernels (SoC vendor's and Tizen's).  I believe this choice
was rather an effect of coincidence instead of conscious choice.

On S3C24xx, the PWM counter is only 16 bit wide, and with the
typical 12MHz input clock that overflows every 5.5ms.  This works
with HZ=200 or higher but not with HZ=100 which needs a 10ms
interval between ticks.  On Later chips (S3C64xx, S5P and EXYNOS),
the counter is 32 bits and does not have this problem.

The new samsung_pwm_timer driver solves the problem by scaling the input
clock by a factor of 50 on S3C24xx, which makes it less accurate but
allows HZ=100 as well as CONFIG_NO_HZ with fewer wakeups.

Few perf mem and sched tests on Odroid XU3 board (Exynos5422, 4x Cortex
A7, 4x Cortex A15) show no regressions when switching from 200 Hz to
other values.

Pull ARM SoC cleanups from Arnd Bergmann:
 "The cleanups for v4.9 are a little larger that usual, but thankfully
  that is almost exclusively due to removing a significant number of
  files that have become obsolete after the still ongoing conversion of
  old board files to devicetree.

   - for mach-omap2, which is still the largest platform in arch/arm/,
     the conversion to DT is finally complete after the Nokia N900 is
     now fully supported there, along with the omap3 LDP, and we can
     remove those two board files. If no regressions are found, another
     large cleanup for the platform will happen as a follow-up, removing
     dead code and restructuring the platform based on being DT-only.

   - In mach-imx, similar work is ongoing, but has not come that far.
     This time, we remove the obsolete board file for the i.MX1
     generation, which like i.MX25, i.MX5, i.MX6, and i.MX7 is now
     DT-only. The remaining board files are for i.MX2 and i.MX3 machines
     based on old ARM926 or ARM1136 cores that should work with DT in
     principle.

   - realview has just been converted from board files to DT, and a lot
     of code gets removed in the process. This is the last
     ARM/Keil/Versatile derived platform that was still using board
     files, the other ones being integrator, versatile and vexpress. We
     can probably merge the remaining code into a single directory in
     the near future.

   - clps711x had completed the conversion in v4.8, but we accidentally
     left the files in place that should have been deleted then"

<title>atomic64: no need for CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ATOMIC64_DEC_IF_POSITIVE</title>

<id>urn:sha1:51a021244b9d579be6b4f8c15c493a76deb2a79e</id>
<content type='text'>
This came to light when implementing native 64-bit atomics for ARCv2.

The atomic64 self-test code uses CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ATOMIC64_DEC_IF_POSITIVE
to check whether atomic64_dec_if_positive() is available.  It seems it
was needed when not every arch defined it.  However as of current code
the Kconfig option seems needless

 - for CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64 it is auto-enabled in lib/Kconfig and a
   generic definition of API is present lib/atomic64.c
 - arches with native 64-bit atomics select it in arch/*/Kconfig and
   define the API in their headers

So I see no point in keeping the Kconfig option

Compile tested for:
 - blackfin (CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64)
 - x86 (!CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64)
 - ia64

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The irq departement proudly presents:

   - A rework of the core infrastructure to optimally spread interrupt
     for multiqueue devices. The first version was a bit naive and
     failed to take thread siblings and other details into account.
     Developed in cooperation with Christoph and Keith.

   - Proper delegation of softirqs to ksoftirqd, so if ksoftirqd is
     active then no further softirq processsing on interrupt return
     happens. Otherwise we try to delegate and still run another batch
     of network packets in the irq return path, which then tries to
     delegate to ksoftirqd .....

   - A proper machine parseable sysfs based alternative for
     /proc/interrupts.

   - ACPI support for the GICV3-ITS and ARM interrupt remapping

   - Two new irq chips from the ARM SoC zoo: STM32-EXTI and MVEBU-PIC

   - A new irq chip for the JCore (SuperH)

   - The usual pile of small fixlets in core and irqchip drivers"
