Merge tag 'arc-4.3-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vgupta/arc

Pull ARC architecture updates from Vineet Gupta:
 "ARC updates for 4.3:

   - perf support for ARCv2 based cores (sampling interrupt, SMP)
   - leftovers for ARCv2 support
   - futex fixes"

  ARCv2: perf: implement "event_set_period"
  ARC: perf: cap the number of counters to hardware max of 32
  ARC: Eliminate some ARCv2 specific code for ARCompact build
  ARC: add/fix some comments in code - no functional change
  ARC: change some branchs to jumps to resolve linkage errors
  ARC: ensure futex ops are atomic in !LLSC config
  ARC: Enable HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG
  ARC: make futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() return bimodal
  ARC: futex cosmetics

* ARC HS Performance Counters
The ARC HS can be configured with a pipeline performance monitor for counting
CPU and cache events like cache misses and hits. Like conventional PCT there
are 100+ hardware conditions dynamically mapped to upto 32 counters.
It also supports overflow interrupts.
Required properties:
- compatible : should contain
"snps,archs-pct"
Example:
pmu {
compatible = "snps,archs-pct";
};
