Patch series "mm: cleanup usage of &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt;"

Most architectures have very similar versions of pXd_alloc_one() and
pXd_free_one() for intermediate levels of page table.  These patches add
generic versions of these functions in &lt;asm-generic/pgalloc.h&gt; and enable
use of the generic functions where appropriate.

In addition, functions declared and defined in &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt; headers are
used mostly by core mm and early mm initialization in arch and there is no
actual reason to have the &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt; included all over the place.
The first patch in this series removes unneeded includes of
&lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt;

In the end it didn't work out as neatly as I hoped and moving
pXd_alloc_track() definitions to &lt;asm-generic/pgalloc.h&gt; would require
unnecessary changes to arches that have custom page table allocations, so
I've decided to move lib/ioremap.c to mm/ and make pgalloc-track.h local
to mm/.

This patch (of 8):

In most cases &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt; header is required only for allocations of
page table memory.  Most of the .c files that include that header do not
use symbols declared in &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt; and do not require that header.

As for the other header files that used to include &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt;, it is
possible to move that include into the .c file that actually uses symbols
from &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt; and drop the include from the header file.

The process was somewhat automated using

	sed -i -E '/[&lt;"]asm\/pgalloc\.h/d' \
                $(grep -L -w -f /tmp/xx \
                        $(git grep -E -l '[&lt;"]asm/pgalloc\.h'))

where /tmp/xx contains all the symbols defined in
arch/*/include/asm/pgalloc.h.

<title>mm: don't include asm/pgtable.h if linux/mm.h is already included</title>

Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2.

The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are
duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once.  For
instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported
architectures.

Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils
down to, e.g.

static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address)
{
        return (address &gt;&gt; PMD_SHIFT) &amp; (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1);
}

static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address)
{
        return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address);
}

These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided
XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined.

For architectures that really need a custom version there is always
possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic.

These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table
accessors to the new header.

This patch (of 12):

The linux/mm.h header includes &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt; to allow inlining of the
functions involving page table manipulations, e.g.  pte_alloc() and
pmd_alloc().  So, there is no point to explicitly include &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt;
in the files that include &lt;linux/mm.h&gt;.

The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop:

	for f in $(git grep -l "include &lt;linux/mm.h&gt;") ; do
		sed -i -e '/include &lt;asm\/pgtable.h&gt;/ d' $f
	done

<title>ARM: 8943/1: Fix topology setup in case of CPU hotplug for CONFIG_SCHED_MC</title>

Commit ca74b316df96 ("arm: Use common cpu_topology structure and
functions.") changed cpu_coregroup_mask() from the ARM32 specific
implementation in arch/arm/include/asm/topology.h to the one shared
with ARM64 and RISCV in drivers/base/arch_topology.c.

Currently on ARM32 (TC2 w/ CONFIG_SCHED_MC) the task scheduler setup
code (w/ CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG) shows this during CPU hotplug:

  ERROR: groups don't span domain-&gt;span

It happens to CPUs of the cluster of the CPU which gets hot-plugged
out on scheduler domain MC.

Turns out that the shared cpu_coregroup_mask() requires that the
hot-plugged CPU is removed from the core_sibling mask via
remove_cpu_topology(). Otherwise the 'is core_sibling subset of
cpumask_of_node()' doesn't work. In this case the task scheduler has to
deal with cpumask_of_node instead of core_sibling which is wrong on
scheduler domain MC.

e.g. CPU3 hot-plugged out on TC2 [cluster0: 0,3-4 cluster1: 1-2]:

  cpu_coregroup_mask(): CPU3 cpumask_of_node=0-2,4 core_sibling=0,3-4
                                                                  ^
should be:

  cpu_coregroup_mask(): CPU3 cpumask_of_node=0-2,4 core_sibling=0,4

Add remove_cpu_topology() to __cpu_disable() to remove the CPU from the
topology masks in case of a CPU hotplug out operation.

At the same time tweak store_cpu_topology() slightly so it will call
update_siblings_masks() in case of CPU hotplug in operation via
secondary_start_kernel()-&gt;smp_store_cpu_info().

This aligns the ARM32 implementation with the ARM64 one.

Guarding remove_cpu_topology() with CONFIG_GENERIC_ARCH_TOPOLOGY is
necessary since some Arm32 defconfigs (aspeed_g5_defconfig,
milbeaut_m10v_defconfig, spear13xx_defconfig) specify an explicit

 # CONFIG_ARM_CPU_TOPOLOGY is not set

w/ ./arch/arm/Kconfig: select GENERIC_ARCH_TOPOLOGY if ARM_CPU_TOPOLOGY

This commit removes the open-coded CPU-offline notification with new
common code.  In particular, this change avoids calling scheduler code
using RCU from an offline CPU that RCU is ignoring.  This is a minimal
change.  A more intrusive change might invoke the cpu_check_up_prepare()
and cpu_set_state_online() functions at CPU-online time, which would
allow onlining throw an error if the CPU did not go offline properly.

This commit removes the open-coded CPU-offline notification with new
common code.  In particular, this change avoids calling scheduler code
using RCU from an offline CPU that RCU is ignoring.  This is a minimal
change.  A more intrusive change might invoke the cpu_check_up_prepare()
and cpu_set_state_online() functions at CPU-online time, which would
allow onlining throw an error if the CPU did not go offline properly.

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:

 - Add a "cut here" to make it clearer where oops dumps should be cut
   from - we already have a marker for the end of the dumps.

 - Add logging severity to show_pte()

 - Drop unnecessary common-page-size linker flag

 - Errata workarounds for Cortex A12 857271, Cortex A17 857272 and
   Cortex A7 814220.

 - Remove some unused variables that had started to provoke a compiler
   warning.

Some big.LITTLE systems have I-Cache line size mismatch between
LITTLE and big cores. This patch adds a workaround for proper I-Cache
support on such systems. Without it, some class of the userspace code
(typically self-modifying) might suffer from random SIGILL failures.

Similar workaround already exists for ARM64 architecture. I has been
added by commit 116c81f427ff ("arm64: Work around systems with mismatched
cache line sizes").

<title>ARM: prevent tracing IPI_CPU_BACKTRACE</title>

Patch series "compiler: allow all arches to enable
CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING", v3.

This patch (of 11):

When function tracing for IPIs is enabled, we get a warning for an
overflow of the ipi_types array with the IPI_CPU_BACKTRACE type as
triggered by raise_nmi():

  arch/arm/kernel/smp.c: In function 'raise_nmi':
  arch/arm/kernel/smp.c:489:2: error: array subscript is above array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds]
    trace_ipi_raise(target, ipi_types[ipinr]);

This is a correct warning as we actually overflow the array here.

This patch raise_nmi() to call __smp_cross_call() instead of
smp_cross_call(), to avoid calling into ftrace.  For clarification, I'm
also adding a two new code comments describing how this one is special.

The warning appears to have shown up after commit e7273ff49acf ("ARM:
8488/1: Make IPI_CPU_BACKTRACE a "non-secure" SGI"), which changed the
number assignment from '15' to '8', but as far as I can tell has existed
since the IPI tracepoints were first introduced.  If we decide to
backport this patch to stable kernels, we probably need to backport
e7273ff49acf as well.

<title>cpufreq: Call transition notifier only once for each policy</title>

<id>df24014abe3694e7c34ce5e50248611b7a93fe83</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, the notifiers are called once for each CPU of the policy-&gt;cpus
cpumask. It would be more optimal if the notifier can be called only
once and all the relevant information be provided to it. Out of the 23
drivers that register for the transition notifiers today, only 4 of them
do per-cpu updates and the callback for the rest can be called only once
for the policy without any impact.

This would also avoid multiple function calls to the notifier callbacks
and reduce multiple iterations of notifier core's code (which does
locking as well).

This patch adds pointer to the cpufreq policy to the struct
cpufreq_freqs, so the notifier callback has all the information
available to it with a single call. The five drivers which perform
per-cpu updates are updated to use the cpufreq policy. The freqs-&gt;cpu
field is redundant now and is removed.
