Russell, could you please pull the following:

  http://git.linaro.org/people/nicolas.pitre/linux fdpic

This series provides the needed changes to suport the ELF_FDPIC binary
format on ARM. Both MMU and non-MMU systems are supported. This format
has many advantages over the BFLT format used on MMU-less systems, such
as being real ELF that can be parsed by standard tools, can support
shared dynamic libs, etc.

This is based on v4.13-rc4 not to conflict with changes to signal.c
that happened in v4.13-rc3.

A complete toolchain and prebuilt packages can be obtained here:

Changes from v1:

- Reworked the signal return code to be compatible with a non-executable
  stack.
- Rebased on v4.13-rc4 to pick up latest signal changes.
- Added MMU support.
- Fixed crash in the ELF-FDPIC loader when loading an executable with
  shared libs on a system with an MMU.
- Made the regular ELF loader reject FDPIC binaries.
- Added ACKs and Reviewed-bys.
