+Subject: [PATCH] kernel: add support for gcc 5
+
+We're missing include/linux/compiler-gcc5.h which is required now
+because gcc branched off to v5 in trunk.
+
+Just copy the relevant bits out of include/linux/compiler-gcc4.h,
+no new code is added as of now.
+
+This fixes a build error when using gcc 5.

+Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 8158/1: LLVMLinux: use static inline in ARM ftrace.h
+
+With compilers which follow the C99 standard (like modern versions of gcc and
+clang), "extern inline" does the wrong thing (emits code for an externally
+linkable version of the inline function). In this case using static inline
+and removing the NULL version of return_address in return_address.c does
+the right thing.
