commit b344d6a83d01 ("parisc: add support for cmpxchg on u8 pointers")
can generate a sparse warning ("cast truncates bits from constant
value"), which has been reported several times [1] [2] [3].

The original code worked as expected, but anyway, let silence such
sparse warning as what others did [4].

Pull x86 irq entry updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The irq stack switching was moved out of the ASM entry code in course
  of the entry code consolidation. It ended up being suboptimal in
  various ways.

  This reworks the X86 irq stack handling:

   - Make the stack switching inline so the stackpointer manipulation is
     not longer at an easy to find place.

   - Get rid of the unnecessary indirect call.

   - Avoid the double stack switching in interrupt return and reuse the
     interrupt stack for softirq handling.

   - A objtool fix for CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y builds where it got
     confused about the stack pointer manipulation"

<title>parisc: Optimize per-pagetable spinlocks</title>

<id>b7795074a04669d0a023babf786d29bf67c68783</id>
<content type='text'>
On parisc a spinlock is stored in the next page behind the pgd which
protects against parallel accesses to the pgd. That's why one additional
page (PGD_ALLOC_ORDER) is allocated for the pgd.

Matthew Wilcox suggested that we instead should use a pointer in the
struct page table for this spinlock and noted, that the comments for the
PGD_ORDER and PMD_ORDER defines were wrong.

Both suggestions are addressed with this patch. Instead of having an own
spinlock to protect the pgd, we now switch to use the existing
page_table_lock.  Additionally, beside loading the pgd into cr25 in
switch_mm_irqs_off(), the physical address of this lock is loaded into
cr28 (tr4), so that we can avoid implementing a complicated lookup in
assembly for this lock in the TLB fault handlers.

The existing Hybrid L2/L3 page table scheme (where the pmd is adjacent
to the pgd) has been dropped with this patch.

Remove the locking in set_pte() and the huge-page pte functions too.
They trigger a spinlock recursion on 32bit machines and seem unnecessary.

To prepare for inlining do_softirq_own_stack() replace
__ARCH_HAS_DO_SOFTIRQ with a Kconfig switch and select it in the affected
architectures.

This allows in the next step to move the function prototype and the inline
stub into a seperate asm-generic header file which is required to avoid
include recursion.
