Linus Torvalds 73c0d7522c Merge branch 'stable' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile into akpm
Pull tile bugfixes from Chris Metcalf:
 "This includes a variety of minor bug fixes, mostly to do with testing
  "make allyesconfig", "make allmodconfig", "make allnoconfig", inspired
  to Tejun Heo's observation about Kconfig.freezer not being included.

  The largest changes are just syntax changes removing the tile-specific
  use of a macro named INT_MASK, which is way too commonly redefined
  throughout driver code"

* 'stable' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile:
  tile: tag some code with #ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT
  tile: fix memcpy_*io functions for allnoconfig
  tile: export a handful of symbols appropriately
  drm: fix compile failure by including <linux/swiotlb.h>
  tile: avoid defining INT_MASK macro in <arch/interrupts.h>
  tile: provide "screen_info" when enabling VT
  drivers/input/joystick/analog.c: enable precise timer
  tile: include kernel/Kconfig.freezer in tile Kconfig
  tile: remove an unused variable in copy_thread()

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
