If an architecture uses 4level-fixup.h we don't need to do anything as
it includes 5level-fixup.h.
If an architecture uses pgtable-nop*d.h, define __ARCH_USE_5LEVEL_HACK
before inclusion of the header. It makes asm-generic code to use
5level-fixup.h.
If an architecture has 4-level paging or folds levels on its own,
include 5level-fixup.h directly.

We are going to split <linux/sched/mm.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.
Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/mm.h> file that just
maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.
The APIs that are going to be moved first are:
mm_alloc()
__mmdrop()
mmdrop()
mmdrop_async_fn()
mmdrop_async()
mmget_not_zero()
mmput()
mmput_async()
get_task_mm()
mm_access()
mm_release()
Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

Often all is needed is these small helpers, instead of compiler.h or a
full kprobes.h. This is important for asm helpers, in fact even some
asm/kprobes.h make use of these helpers... instead just keep a generic
asm file with helpers useful for asm code with the least amount of
clutter as possible.
Likewise we need now to also address what to do about this file for both
when architectures have CONFIG_HAVE_KPROBES, and when they do not. Then
for when architectures have CONFIG_HAVE_KPROBES but have disabled
CONFIG_KPROBES.
Right now most asm/kprobes.h do not have guards against CONFIG_KPROBES,
this means most architecture code cannot include asm/kprobes.h safely.
Correct this and add guards for architectures missing them.
Additionally provide architectures that not have kprobes support with
the default asm-generic solution. This lets us force asm/kprobes.h on
the header include/linux/kprobes.h always, but most importantly we can
now safely include just asm/kprobes.h on architecture code without
bringing the full kitchen sink of header files.
Two architectures already provided a guard against CONFIG_KPROBES on its
kprobes.h: sh, arch. The rest of the architectures needed gaurds added.
We avoid including any not-needed headers on asm/kprobes.h unless
kprobes have been enabled.
In a subsequent atomic change we can try now to remove compiler.h from
include/linux/kprobes.h.
During this sweep I've also identified a few architectures defining a
common macro needed for both kprobes and ftrace, that of the definition
of the breakput instruction up. Some refer to this as
BREAKPOINT_INSTRUCTION. This must be kept outside of the #ifdef
CONFIG_KPROBES guard.

it was possible to remove the IB DMA mapping code entirely and
switch the RDMA stack to use the core DMA mapping code. This resulted
in a nice set of cleanups, but touched the entire tree. This branch
will be submitted separately to Linus at the end of the merge window

ARC: [plat-*] ARC_HAS_COH_CACHES no longer relevant
ARCv2: intc: Delete useless comments in Device Trees
ARCv2: IDU-intc: Delete deprecated parameters in Device Trees
ARCv2: IDU-intc: mask all common interrupts by default

ARCv2: intc: Use ARC_REG_STATUS32 for addressing STATUS32 reg
arc: vdk: Add support of UIO
arc: vdk: Add support of MMC controller
arc: vdk: Disable halt on reset
Currently Kconfig knob ARC_NUMBER_OF_INTERRUPTS is used as indicator of
hard irq count. But it is flawed that it doesn't affect
- NR_IRQS : for number of virtual interrupts
- NR_CPU_IRQS : for number of hardware interrupts
Moreover the actual hardware irq count might still not be same as
ARC_NUMBER_OF_INTERRUPTS. So use the information availble in the
Build Configuration Registers and get rid of the Kconfig option.
We still need "some" build time info about irq count to set up
sufficient number of vector table entries. This is done with a
sufficiently large NR_CPU_IRQS which will eventually be used soley for
that purpose (subsequent patches will remove its usage elsewhere)
So to summarize what this patch does:
* NR_CPU_IRQS defines a maximum number of hardware interrupts.
* Remove ARC_NUMBER_OF_INTERRUPTS option and create interrupts
table for all possible hardware interrupts.
* Increase a maximum number of virtual IRQs to 512. ARCv2 can
support 240 interrupts in the core interrupts controllers
and 128 interrupts in IDU. Thus 512 virtual IRQs must be
enough for most configurations of boards.
This patch leads to NR_CPU_IRQS in 2 places, to reduce the overall
churn. The next patch will remove the 2nd definition anyways.

cputime_t is now only used by two architectures:
* powerpc (when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE=y)
* s390
And since the core doesn't use it anymore, we don't need any arch support
from the others. So we can remove their stub implementations.
A final cleanup would be to provide an efficient pure arch
implementation of cputime_to_nsec() for s390 and powerpc and finally
remove include/linux/cputime.h .

commit 3c7c7a2fc8 ("ARC: Don't use "+l" inline asm constraint")
modified the inline assembly to setup LP_COUNT register manually and NOT
rely on gcc to do it (with the +l inline assembler contraint hint, now
being retired in the compiler)
However the fix was flawed as we didn't add LP_COUNT to asm clobber list,
meaning gcc doesn't know that LP_COUNT or zero-delay-loops are in action
in the inline asm.
This resulted in some fun - as nested ZOL loops were being generared
| mov lp_count,250000 ;16 # tmp235,
| lp .L__GCC__LP14 # <======= OUTER LOOP (gcc generated)
| .L14:
| ld r2, [r5] # MEM[(volatile u32 *)prephitmp_43], w
| dmb 1
| breq r2, -1, @.L21 #, w,,
| bbit0 r2,1,@.L13 # w,,
| ld r4,[r7] ;25 # loops_per_jiffy, loops_per_jiffy
| mpymu r3,r4,r6 #, loops_per_jiffy, tmp234
|
| mov lp_count, r3 # <====== INNER LOOP (from inline asm)
| lp 1f
| nop
| 1:
| nop_s
| .L__GCC__LP14: ; loop end, start is @.L14 #,
This caused issues with drivers relying on sane behaviour of udelay
friends.
With LP_COUNT added to clobber list, gcc doesn't generate the outer
loop in say above case.

On AXS103 release bitfiles, DMA data corruptions were seen because IOC
setup was not following the recommended way in documentation.
Flipping IOC on when caches are enabled or coherency transactions are in
flight, might cause some of the memory operations to not observe

Historical MMU revisions have been paired with Cache revision updates
which are captured in MMU and Cache Build Configuration Registers respectively.
This was used in boot code to check for configurations mismatches,
speically in simulations (such as running with non existent caches,
non pairing MMU and Cache version etc). This can instead be inferred
from other cache params such as line size. So remove @ver from post

ARC HS Cores support configurable multiple interrupt priorities of upto
16 levels. In commit dec2b2849c ("ARCv2: intc: Allow interruption by
lowest priority interrupt") we switched to 15 which seems a bit
excessive given that there would be rare hardware implementing so many
preemption levels AND running Linux. It would seem that 2 levels will be
more common so switch to 1 as the default priority level. This will be
the "lower" priority level saving 0 for implementing NMI style support.
This scheme also works in systems with more than 2 prioity levels as
well.

For spinning loops people do often use barrier() or cpu_relax().
For most architectures cpu_relax and barrier are the same, but on
some architectures cpu_relax can add some latency.
For example on power,sparc64 and arc, cpu_relax can shift the CPU
towards other hardware threads in an SMT environment.
On s390 cpu_relax does even more, it uses an hypercall to the
hypervisor to give up the timeslice.
In contrast to the SMT yielding this can result in larger latencies.
In some places this latency is unwanted, so another variant
"cpu_relax_lowlatency" was introduced. Before this is used in more
and more places, lets revert the logic and provide a cpu_relax_yield
that can be called in places where yielding is more important than
latency. By default this is the same as cpu_relax on all architectures.

This came up when reviewing code to address missing IRQ affinity
setting in AXS103 platform and/or implementing hierarchical IRQ domains
- smp_ipi_irq_setup() callers pass hwirq but in turn calls
request_percpu_irq() which expects a linux virq. So invoke
irq_find_mapping() to do the conversion
(also explicitify this in code by renaming the args appropriately)
- idu_of_init()/idu_cascade_isr() were similarly using linux virq where
hwirq is expected, so do the conversion using irqd_to_hwirq() helper

The original syscall only used to return errno to indicate if cmpxchg
succeeded. It was not returning the "previous" value which typical cmpxchg
callers are interested in to build their slowpaths or retry loops.
Given user preemption in syscall return path etc, it is not wise to
check this in userspace afterwards, but should be what kernel actually
observed in the syscall.
So change the syscall interface to always return the previous value and
additionally set Z flag to indicate whether operation succeeded or not
(just like ARM implementation when they used to have this syscall)
The flag approach avoids having to put_user errno which is nice given
the use case for this syscall cares mostly about the "previous" value.

The loop was really needed in .debug_frame regime where wanted make it
as SH_ALLOC so that apply_relocate_add() would process it. That's not
needed for .eh_frame, so we check this in apply_relocate_add() which
gets called for each section.
Note that we need to save reference to "section name strings" section in
module_frob_arch_sections() since apply_relocate_add() doesn't get that

The motivation is to identify ARC750 vs. ARC770 (we currently print
generic "ARC700").
A given ARC700 release could be 750 or 770, with same ARCNUM (or family
identifier which is unfortunate). The existing arc_cpu_tbl[] kept a single
concatenated string for core name and release which thus doesn't work
for 750 vs. 770 identification.
So split this into 2 tables, one with core names and other with release.
And while we are at it, get rid of the range checking for family numbers.
We just document the known to exist cores running Linux and ditch
others.
With this in place, we add detection of ARC750 which is
- cores 0x33 and before
- cores 0x34 and later with MMUv2

On older arc700 cores, some of the features configured were not present
in Build config registers. To print about them at boot, we just use the
Kconfig option i.e. whether linux is built to use them or not.
So yes this seems bogus, but what else can be done. Moreover if linux is
booting with these enabled, then the Kconfig info is a good indicator
anyways.
Over time these "hacks" accumulated in read_arc_build_cfg_regs() as well
as arc_cpu_mumbojumbo(). so refactor and move all of those in a single
place: read_arc_build_cfg_regs(). This causes some code redcution too:

if user disables IOC from debugger at startup (by clearing @ioc_enable),
@ioc_exists is cleared too. This means boot prints don't capture the
fact that IOC was present but disabled which could be misleading.
So invert how we use @ioc_enable and @ioc_exists and make it more
canonical. @ioc_exists represent whether hardware is present or not and
stays same whether enabled or not. @ioc_enable is still user driven,
but will be auto-disabled if IOC hardware is not present, i.e. if
@ioc_exist=0. This is opposite to what we were doing before, but much
clearer.
This means @ioc_enable is now the "exported" toggle in rest of code such
as dma mapping API.

Older ARC700 cores (ARC750 specifically) lack instructions to implement
atomic r-w-w. This is problematic for userspace libraries such as NPTL
which need atomic primitives. So enable them by providing kernel assist.
This is costly but really the only sane soluton (othern than tight
spinning using the otherwise availiable atomic exchange EX instruciton).
Good thing is there are only a few of these cores running Linux out in
the wild.
This only works on UP systems.

The IDU intc is technically part of MCIP (Multi-core IP) hence
historically was only available in a SMP hardware build (and thus only
in a SMP kernel build). Now that hardware restriction has been lifted,
so a UP kernel needs to support it.
This requires breaking mcip.c into parts which are strictly SMP
(inter-core interrupts) and IDU which in reality is just another
intc and thus has no bearing on SMP.
This change allows IDU in UP builds and with a suitable device tree, we
can have the cascaded intc system

With STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS pte_t is a struct and the offending code
forces a cast which ends up shifting a struct and hence the gcc warning.
Note that in recent past some of the arches (aarch64, s390) made
STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS default, but we don't for ARC as this leads to slightly
worse generated code, given ARC ABI definition of returning structs
(which pte_t would become)
Quoting from ARC ABI...
"Results of type struct are returned in a caller-supplied temporary
variable whose address is passed in r0.
For such functions, the arguments are shifted so that they are
passed in r1 and up."
So
- struct to be returned would be allocated on stack requiring extra
code at call sites
- callee updates stack memory to facilitate the return (vs. simple
MOV into return reg r0)
Hence STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS is not enabled by default for ARC

The syscall ABI includes the gcc functional calling ABI since a syscall
implies userland caller and kernel callee.
The current gcc ABI (v3) for ARCv2 ISA required 64-bit data be passed in
even-odd register pairs, (potentially punching reg holes when passing such
values as args). This was partly driven by the fact that the double-word
LDD/STD instructions in ARCv2 expect the register alignment and thus gcc
forcing this avoids extra MOV at the cost of a few unused register (which we
have plenty anyways).
This however was rejected as part of upstreaming gcc port to HS. So the new
ABI v4 doesn't enforce the even-odd reg restriction.
Do note that for ARCompact ISA builds v3 and v4 are practically the same in
terms of gcc code generation.
In terms of change management, we infer the new ABI if gcc 6.x onwards
is used for building the kernel.
This also needs a stable backport to enable older kernels to work with
new tools/user-space

User mode callee regs are explicitly collected before signal delivery or
breakpoint trap. r25 is special for kernel as it serves as task pointer,
so user mode value is clobbered very early. It is saved in pt_regs where
generally only scratch (aka caller saved) regs are saved.
The code to access the corresponding pt_regs location had a subtle bug as
it was using load/store with scaling of offset, whereas the offset was already
byte wise correct. So fix this by replacing LD.AS with a standard LD

The problem was mprotect->pte_modify() clearing PTE_SPECIAL (which is

When pte was finally unmapped, special casing for zero page was not

__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations.
pte_alloc_one_kernel uses __get_order_pte but this is obviously always
zero because BITS_FOR_PTE is not larger than 9 yet the page size is
always larger than 4K. This means that this flag has never been
actually useful here because it has always been used only for
PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.

This patch updates/fixes all spin_unlock_wait() implementations.
The update is in semantics; where it previously was only a control
dependency, we now upgrade to a full load-acquire to match the
store-release from the spin_unlock() we waited on. This ensures that
when spin_unlock_wait() returns, we're guaranteed to observe the full
critical section we waited on.
This fixes a number of spin_unlock_wait() users that (not
unreasonably) rely on this.
I also fixed a number of ticket lock versions to only wait on the
current lock holder, instead of for a full unlock, as this is
sufficient.
Furthermore; again for ticket locks; I added an smp_rmb() in between
the initial ticket load and the spin loop testing the current value
because I could not convince myself the address dependency is
sufficient, esp. if the loads are of different sizes.
I'm more than happy to remove this smp_rmb() again if people are
certain the address dependency does indeed work as expected.
Note: PPC32 will be fixed independently

I've just discovered that the useful-sounding has_transparent_hugepage()
is actually an architecture-dependent minefield: on some arches it only
builds if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y, on others it's also there when
not, but on some of those (arm and arm64) it then gives the wrong
answer; and on mips alone it's marked __init, which would crash if
called later (but so far it has not been called later).
Straighten this out: make it available to all configs, with a sensible
default in asm-generic/pgtable.h, removing its definitions from those
arches (arc, arm, arm64, sparc, tile) which are served by the default,
adding #define has_transparent_hugepage has_transparent_hugepage to
those (mips, powerpc, s390, x86) which need to override the default at
runtime, and removing the __init from mips (but maybe that kind of code
should be avoided after init: set a static variable the first time it's
called).

Since the CTOP is SMT hardware multi-threaded, we need to hint
the HW that now will be a very good time to do a hardware
thread context switching. This is done by issuing the schd.rw
instruction (binary coded here so as to not require specific
revision of GCC to build the kernel).
sched.rw means that Thread becomes eligible for execution by
the threads scheduler after all pending read/write
transactions were completed.

If we hold rwlock and interrupt occures we may
end up spinning on it for ever during softirq.
Note that this lock is an internal lock
and since the lock is free to be used from any context,
the lock needs to be IRQ-safe.
Below you may see an example for interrupt we get while
nl_table_lock is holding its rw->lock_mutex and we spinned
on it for ever.
The concept for the fix was taken from SPARC.

On ARC, lower 2G of address space is translated and used for
- user vaddr space (region 0 to 5)
- unused kernel-user gutter (region 6)
- kernel vaddr space (region 7)
where each region simply represents 256MB of address space.
The kernel vaddr space of 256MB is used to implement vmalloc, modules
So far this was enough, but not on EZChip system with 4K CPUs (given
that per cpu mechanism uses vmalloc for allocating chunks)
So allow VMALLOC_SIZE to be configurable by expanding down into the unused
kernel-user gutter region which at default 256M was excessive anyways.
Also use _BITUL() to fix a build error since PGDIR_SIZE cannot use "1UL"
as called from assembly code in mm/tlbex.S

ARC Timers so far have been handled as "legacy" w/o explicit description
in DT. This poses challenge for newer platforms wanting to use them.
This series will eventually help move timers over to DT.
This patch does a small change of using a CPU notifier to set clockevent
on non-boot CPUs. So explicit setup is done only on boot CPU (which will
later be done by DT)

- The idea is to remove the API usage since it has a subltle
design flaw - relies on being called on cpu0 first. This is true for
some early per cpu irqs such as TIMER/IPI, but not for late probed
per cpu peripherals such a perf. And it's usage in perf has already
bitten us once: see c6317bc7c5
("ARCv2: perf: Ensure perf intr gets enabled on all cores") where we
ended up open coding it anyways

Initial HIGHMEM support on ARC was introduced for PAE40 where the low
memory (0x8000_0000 based) and high memory (0x1_0000_0000) were
physically contiguous. So CONFIG_FLATMEM sufficed (despite a peipheral
hole in the middle, which wasted a bit of struct page memory, but things
worked).
However w/o PAE, highmem was not possible and we could only reach
~1.75GB of DDR. Now there is a use case to access ~4GB of DDR w/o PAE40
The idea is to have low memory at canonical 0x8000_0000 and highmem
at 0 so enire 4GB address space is available for physical addressing
This needs additional platform/interconnect mapping to convert
the non contiguous physical addresses into linear bus adresses.
From Linux point of view, non contiguous divide means FLATMEM no
longer works and DISCONTIGMEM is needed to track the pfns in the 2
regions.
This scheme would also work for PAE40, only better in that we don't
waste struct page memory for the peripheral hole.
The DT description will be something like
memory {
...
reg = <0x80000000 0x200000000 /* 512MB: lowmem */
0x00000000 0x10000000>; /* 256MB: highmem */

So a benign looking cleanup which macro'ized PAGE_SHIFT shifts turned
out to be bad (since it was done non-sensically across the board).
It caused boot failures with PAE40 as forced cast to (unsigned long)
from newly introduced virt_to_pfn() was causing truncatiion of the
(long long) pte/paddr values.
It is OK to use this in accessors dealing with kernel virtual address,
pointers etc, but not for PTE values themelves.

While reviewing a different change to asm-generic/io.h Arnd spotted that
ARC ioread32 and ioread32be both of which come from asm-generic versions
are not symmetrical in terms of calling the io barriers.
generic ioread32 -> ARC readl() [ has barriers]
generic ioread32be -> __be32_to_cpu(__raw_readl()) [ lacks barriers]
While generic ioread32be is being remediated to call readl(), that involves
a swab32(), causing double swaps on ioread32be() on Big Endian systems.
So provide our versions of big endian IO accessors to ensure io barrier
calls while also keeping them optimal

The newer renameat2 syscall provides all the functionality provided by
the renameat syscall and adds flags, so future architectures won't need
to include renameat.
Therefore drop the renameat syscall from the generic syscall list unless
__ARCH_WANT_RENAMEAT is defined by the architecture's unistd.h prior to
including asm-generic/unistd.h, and adjust all architectures using the
generic syscall list to define it so that no in-tree architectures are

- The asm helpers for calling into irq tracer were missing
- Add calls to above helpers in low level assembly entry code for ARCv2
- irq_save() uses CLRI to disable interrupts and returns the prev interrupt
state (in STATUS32) in a specific encoding (and not the raw value of
STATUS32). This is usable with SETI in irq_restore(). However
save_flags() reads the raw value of STATUS32 which doesn't pair with
irq_save/restore() and thus needs fixing.

During mmaping of frame-buffer pages to user-space
fb_protect() is called to set proper page settings.
In case of ARC we need to mark pages that are mmaped to
user as uncached because of 2 reasons:
* Huge amount of data if passing through data cache will
thrash cache a lot making cache almost useless for other
less traffic hungry processes.
* Data written by user in FB will be immediately available for
hardware (such as PGU etc) without requirements to flush data
cache regularly.
