Hi Linus,

Please pull the following arm64 fixes for 4.3-rc2. They address some
problems with filesystem writeback due to the recently merged hardware
DBM patches, which caused us to treat some read-only pages as dirty.

There are also some other, less significant fixes that are described in
the tag.

Cheers,

Will

  arm64: errata: add module build workaround for erratum #843419 (2015-09-17 11:57:03 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
arm64 fixes for 4.3-rc2

A mixture of fixes for regressions introduced during the merge window,
some longer standing problems that we spotted and a couple of hardware
errata. The main changes are:

  - Fix fallout from the h/w DBM patches, causing filesystem writeback
    issues on both v8 and v8.1 CPUs
  - Workaround for Cortex-A53 erratum #843419 in the module loader
  - Fix for long-standing issue with compat big-endian signal handlers
    using the saved floating point state
