On MIPS the generic PCI code has always defaulted to L1_CACHE_BYTES
because the architecutre PCI code did not provide a better default.
In particular on systems with S-caches or T-caches this was suboptimal.Provide a better default by setting pci_dfl_cache_line_size based on
the size of the line size of the lowest level of the cache hierarchy.Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

lib: use generic pci_iomap on all architectures
Many architectures don't want to pull in iomap.c,
so they ended up duplicating pci_iomap from that file.
That function isn't trivial, and we are going to modify it
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/14/183
so the duplication hurts.This reduces the scope of the problem significantly,
by moving pci_iomap to a separate file and
referencing that from all architectures.* tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mst/vhost:

This patch removes MIPS' architecture-specific 'pcibios_set_master()'
routine and lets the default PCI core based implementation handle PCI
device 'latency timer' setup.No functional change.
Acked-by: Ralf Baechle
Signed-off-by: Myron Stowe
Signed-off-by: Jesse Barnes -
The 'latency timer' of PCI devices, both Type 0 and Type 1,
is setup in architecture-specific code [see: 'pcibios_set_master()'].
There are two approaches being taken by all the architectures - check
if the 'latency timer' is currently set between 16 and 255 and if not
bring it within bounds, or, do nothing (and then there is the
gratuitously different PA-RISC implementation).There is nothing architecture-specific about PCI's 'latency timer' so
this patch pulls its setup functionality up into the PCI core by
creating a generic 'pcibios_set_master()' function using the '__weak'
attribute which can be used by all architectures as a default which,
if necessary, can then be over-ridden by architecture-specific code.No functional change.

prevents IPv6 from working completely because any ICMPv6 neighbor

Those two APIs were provided to optimize the calls of
tick_nohz_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_enter() into a single
irq disabled section. This way no interrupt happening in-between would
needlessly process any RCU job.Now we are talking about an optimization for which benefits
have yet to be measured. Let's start simple and completely decouple
idle rcu and dyntick idle logics to simplify.Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker

It is assumed that rcu won't be used once we switch to tickless
mode and until we restart the tick. However this is not always
true, as in x86-64 where we dereference the idle notifiers after
the tick is stopped.To prepare for fixing this, add two new APIs:
tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() and tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu().If no use of RCU is made in the idle loop between
tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() calls, the arch
must instead call the new *_norcu() version such that the arch doesn't
need to call rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit().Otherwise the arch must call tick_nohz_enter_idle() and
tick_nohz_exit_idle() and also call explicitly:- rcu_idle_enter() after its last use of RCU before the CPU is put
to sleep.
- rcu_idle_exit() before the first use of RCU after the CPU is woken

The tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() function, which tries to delay
the next timer tick as long as possible, can be called from two
places:- From the idle loop to start the dytick idle mode
- From interrupt exit if we have interrupted the dyntick
idle mode, so that we reprogram the next tick event in
case the irq changed some internal state that requires this
action.There are only few minor differences between both that
are handled by that function, driven by the ts->inidle
cpu variable and the inidle parameter. The whole guarantees
that we only update the dyntick mode on irq exit if we actually
interrupted the dyntick idle mode, and that we enter in RCU extended
quiescent state from idle loop entry only.Split this function into:
- tick_nohz_idle_enter(), which sets ts->inidle to 1, enters
dynticks idle mode unconditionally if it can, and enters into RCU
extended quiescent state.- tick_nohz_irq_exit() which only updates the dynticks idle mode
when ts->inidle is set (ie: if tick_nohz_idle_enter() has been called).To maintain symmetry, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick() has been renamed
into tick_nohz_idle_exit().This simplifies the code and micro-optimize the irq exit path (no need
for local_irq_save there). This also prepares for the split between
dynticks and rcu extended quiescent state logics. We'll need this split to
further fix illegal uses of RCU in extended quiescent states in the idle
loop.Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker
