[ Upstream commit bdee0e793cea10c516ff48bf3ebb4ef1820a116b ]

The Cache Control Register (CACR) of the ColdFire V3 has bits that
control high level caching functions, and also enable/disable the use
of the alternate stack pointer register (the EUSP bit) to provide
separate supervisor and user stack pointer registers. The code as
it is today will blindly clear the EUSP bit on cache actions like
invalidation. So it is broken for this case - and that will result
in failed booting (interrupt entry and exit processing will be
completely hosed).

This only affects ColdFire V3 parts that support the alternate stack
register (like the 5329 for example) - generally speaking new parts do,
older parts don't. It has no impact on ColdFire V3 parts with the single
stack pointer, like the 5307 for example.

Fix the cache bit defines used, so they maintain the EUSP bit when
carrying out cache actions through the CACR register.

[ Upstream commit bcc44f6b74106b31f0b0408b70305a40360d63b7 ]

There is no VIA2 chip on the Mac IIfx, so don't call via_flush_cache().
This avoids a boot crash which appeared in v5.4.

Thanks to Stan Johnson for capturing the console log and running git
bisect.

Git bisect said commit 8e3a68fb55e0 ("dma-mapping: make
dma_atomic_pool_init self-contained") is the first "bad" commit. I don't
know why. Perhaps mach_l2_flush first became reachable with that commit.

<title>mm: treewide: clarify pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() naming</title>

<content type='text'>
The naming of pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() seems to have confused a few
people, and until recently arm64 used these erroneously/pointlessly for
other levels of page table.

To make it incredibly clear that these only apply to the PTE level, and to
align with the naming of pgtable_pmd_page_{ctor,dtor}(), let's rename them
to pgtable_pte_page_{ctor,dtor}().

These changes were generated with the following shell script:

----
git grep -lw 'pgtable_page_.tor' | while read FILE; do
    sed -i '{s/pgtable_page_ctor/pgtable_pte_page_ctor/}' $FILE;
    sed -i '{s/pgtable_page_dtor/pgtable_pte_page_dtor/}' $FILE;
done
----

... with the documentation re-flowed to remain under 80 columns, and
whitespace fixed up in macros to keep backslashes aligned.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

<title>mm: consolidate pgtable_cache_init() and pgd_cache_init()</title>

<content type='text'>
Both pgtable_cache_init() and pgd_cache_init() are used to initialize kmem
cache for page table allocations on several architectures that do not use
PAGE_SIZE tables for one or more levels of the page table hierarchy.

Most architectures do not implement these functions and use __weak default
NOP implementation of pgd_cache_init().  Since there is no such default
for pgtable_cache_init(), its empty stub is duplicated among most
architectures.

Rename the definitions of pgd_cache_init() to pgtable_cache_init() and
drop empty stubs of pgtable_cache_init().

Both pgtable_cache_init() and pgd_cache_init() are used to initialize kmem
cache for page table allocations on several architectures that do not use
PAGE_SIZE tables for one or more levels of the page table hierarchy.

Most architectures do not implement these functions and use __weak default
NOP implementation of pgd_cache_init().  Since there is no such default
for pgtable_cache_init(), its empty stub is duplicated among most
architectures.

Rename the definitions of pgd_cache_init() to pgtable_cache_init() and
drop empty stubs of pgtable_cache_init().

Patch series "mm: remove quicklist page table caches".

A while ago Nicholas proposed to remove quicklist page table caches [1].

I've rebased his patch on the curren upstream and switched ia64 and sh to
use generic versions of PTE allocation.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190711030339.20892-1-npiggin@gmail.com

This patch (of 3):

Remove page table allocator "quicklists".  These have been around for a
long time, but have not got much traction in the last decade and are only
used on ia64 and sh architectures.

The numbers in the initial commit look interesting but probably don't
apply anymore.  If anybody wants to resurrect this it's in the git
history, but it's unhelpful to have this code and divergent allocator
behaviour for minor archs.

Also it might be better to instead make more general improvements to page
allocator if this is still so slow.

Pull modules updates from Jessica Yu:
 "The main bulk of this pull request introduces a new exported symbol
  namespaces feature. The number of exported symbols is increasingly
  growing with each release (we're at about 31k exports as of 5.3-rc7)
  and we currently have no way of visualizing how these symbols are
  "clustered" or making sense of this huge export surface.

  Namespacing exported symbols allows kernel developers to more
  explicitly partition and categorize exported symbols, as well as more
  easily limiting the availability of namespaced symbols to other parts
  of the kernel. For starters, we have introduced the USB_STORAGE
  namespace to demonstrate the API's usage. I have briefly summarized
  the feature and its main motivations in the tag below.

  Summary:

   - Introduce exported symbol namespaces.

     This new feature allows subsystem maintainers to partition and
     categorize their exported symbols into explicit namespaces. Module
     authors are now required to import the namespaces they need.

     Some of the main motivations of this feature include: allowing
     kernel developers to better manage the export surface, allow
     subsystem maintainers to explicitly state that usage of some
     exported symbols should only be limited to certain users (think:
     inter-module or inter-driver symbols, debugging symbols, etc), as
     well as more easily limiting the availability of namespaced symbols
     to other parts of the kernel.

     With the module import requirement, it is also easier to spot the
     misuse of exported symbols during patch review.

     Two new macros are introduced: EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() and
     EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(). The API is thoroughly documented in
     Documentation/kbuild/namespaces.rst.

   - Some small code and kbuild cleanups here and there"

This change allows growing struct kernel_symbol without wasting bytes to
alignment. It also concretized the alignment of ksymtab entries if
relative references are used for ksymtab entries.

struct kernel_symbol was already implicitly being aligned to the word
size, except on x86_64 and m68k, where it is aligned to 16 and 2 bytes,
respectively.

As far as I can tell there is no requirement for aligning struct
kernel_symbol to 16 bytes on x86_64, but gcc aligns structs to their
size, and the linker aligns the custom __ksymtab sections to the largest
data type contained within, so setting KSYM_ALIGN to 16 was necessary to
stay consistent with the code generated for non-ASM EXPORT_SYMBOL(). Now
that non-ASM EXPORT_SYMBOL() explicitly aligns to word size (8),
KSYM_ALIGN is no longer necessary.

In case of relative references, the alignment has been changed
accordingly to not waste space when adding new struct members.

As for m68k, struct kernel_symbol is aligned to 2 bytes even though the
structure itself is 8 bytes; using a 4-byte alignment shouldn't hurt.

I manually verified the output of the __ksymtab sections didn't change
on x86, x86_64, arm, arm64 and m68k. As expected, the section contents
didn't change, and the ELF section alignment only changed on x86_64 and
m68k. Feedback from other archs more than welcome.

Just define ioremap_nocache to ioremap instead of duplicating the
inline.  Also define ioremap_uc in terms of ioremap instead of
using a double indirection.
