Pull ARM fixes from Russell King:
 "This round of fixes is smaller than previous: a couple more updates
  for the security fixes, and a one-liner kexec fix"

* 'fixes' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm:
  ARM: 7816/1: CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS: fix help text
  ARM: 7815/1: kexec: offline non panic CPUs on Kdump panic
  ARM: 7819/1: fiq: Cast the first argument of flush_icache_range()

See Documentation/arm/kernel_user_helpers.txt for details.
However, the fixed address nature of these helpers can be used
by ROP (return orientated programming) authors when creating
exploits.
If all of the binaries and libraries which run on your platform
are built specifically for your platform, and make no use of
these helpers, then you can turn this option off. However,
when such an binary or library is run, it will receive a SIGILL

such exploits. However, in that case, if a binary or library

Say N here only if you are absolutely certain that you do not
need these helpers; otherwise, the safe option is to say Y.
