Subject: linux-next: manual merge of the tip tree with the risc-v tree

Hi all,

Today's linux-next merge of the tip tree got conflicts in:

  include/uapi/linux/prctl.h
  kernel/sys.c

between commit:

  d3d1efd48b3b6 ("prctl: add arch-agnostic prctl()s for indirect branch tracking")

from the risc-v tree and commit:

  28621ec2d46c6 ("rseq: Add prctl() to enable time slice extensions")

from the tip tree.

I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary. This
is now fixed as far as linux-next is concerned, but any non trivial
conflicts should be mentioned to your upstream maintainer when your tree
is submitted for merging.  You may also want to consider cooperating
with the maintainer of the conflicting tree to minimise any particularly
complex conflicts.
