As commit 1e0221374e30 ("mips: vdso: drop unnecessary cc-ldoption")
explained, these flags are supported by the minimal required version
of binutils. They are supported by ld.lld too.

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:

 - Add a "cut here" to make it clearer where oops dumps should be cut
   from - we already have a marker for the end of the dumps.

 - Add logging severity to show_pte()

 - Drop unnecessary common-page-size linker flag

 - Errata workarounds for Cortex A12 857271, Cortex A17 857272 and
   Cortex A7 814220.

 - Remove some unused variables that had started to provoke a compiler
   warning.

GNU linker's -z common-page-size's default value is based on the target
architecture. arch/arm/vdso/Makefile sets it to the architecture
default, which is implicit and redundant. Drop it.

<content type='text'>
The commit fe00e50b2db8 ("ARM: 8858/1: vdso: use $(LD) instead of $(CC)
to link VDSO") removed the passing of CFLAGS, since ld doesn't take
those directly. However, prior, big-endian ARM was relying on gcc to
translate its -mbe8 option into ld's --be8 option. Lacking this, ld
generated be32 code, making the VDSO generate SIGILL when called by
userspace.

This commit passes --be8 if CONFIG_CPU_ENDIAN_BE8 is enabled.

The VDSO code uses the kernel helper that was originally designed
to abstract the access between 32 and 64bit systems. It worked so
far because this function is declared as 'inline'.

As we're about to revamp that part of the code, the VDSO would
break. Let's fix it by doing what should have been done from
the start, a proper system register access.
