commit 01eb454e9bfe593f320ecbc9aaec60bf87cd453d upstream

check_bugs() is about to be phased out. Switch over to the new
arch_cpu_finalize_init() implementation.

No functional change.

As done for other sections, define the extern as a character array,
which relaxes many of the compiler-time object size checks, which would
otherwise assume it's a single long. Solves the following build error:

arch/sh/kernel/machvec.c: error: array subscript 'struct sh_machine_vector[0]' is partly outside array bounds of 'long int[1]' [-Werror=array-bounds]:  =&gt; 105:33

[ Upstream commit b929926f01f2d14635345d22eafcf60feed1085e ]

Fix this by defining both ENDIAN macros in
&lt;asm/sfp-machine.h&gt; so that they can be utilized in
&lt;math-emu/soft-fp.h&gt; according to the latter's comment:
/* Allow sfp-machine to have its own byte order definitions. */

(This is what is done in arch/nds32/include/asm/sfp-machine.h.)

This placates these build warnings:

In file included from ../arch/sh/math-emu/math.c:23:
.../include/math-emu/single.h:50:21: warning: "__BIG_ENDIAN" is not defined, evaluates to 0 [-Wundef]

<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.

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().

The sh implementation pte_alloc_one(), pte_alloc_one_kernel(),
pte_free_kernel() and pte_free() is identical to the generic except of
lack of __GFP_ACCOUNT for the user PTEs allocation.

Switch sh to use generic version of these functions.

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.

 "The asm-generic changes for 5.3 consist of a cleanup series to remove
  ptrace.h from Christoph Hellwig, who explains:

    'asm-generic/ptrace.h is a little weird in that it doesn't actually
     implement any functionality, but it provided multiple layers of
     macros that just implement trivial inline functions. We implement
     those directly in the few architectures and be off with a much
     simpler design.'
