Subject: [GIT PULL] parisc fixes for v4.1

Hi Linus,

please pull the latest fixes for the parisc architecture for v4.1-rc4 from:

  http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux.git parisc-4.1-2

One important patch which fixes crashes due to stack randomization on
architectures where the stack grows upwards (currently parisc and metag only).
This bug went unnoticed on parisc since kernel 3.14 where the flexible mmap
memory layout support was added by commit 9dabf60. The changes in fs/exec.c are
inside an #ifdef CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP section and will not affect other
platforms.
The other two patches rename args of the kthread_arg() function and fixes a
printk output.

Thanks,
Helge
