  sparc64: Fix clock event multiplier printf format.
  sparc64: Use clock{source,events}_calc_mult_shift().

  sparc: Add alignment and emulation fault perf events.
  sparc64: Add syscall tracepoint support.
  sparc: Stop trying to be so fancy and use __builtin_{memcpy,memset}()
  sparc: Use __builtin_object_size() to validate the buffer size for copy_from_user()
  sparc64: Add some missing __kprobes annotations to kernel fault paths.
  sparc64: Use kprobes_built_in() to avoid ifdefs in fault_64.c
  sparc: Validate that kprobe address is 4-byte aligned.
  sparc64: Don't specify IRQF_SHARED for LDC interrupts.
  sparc64: Fix stack debugging IRQ stack regression.
