Pull DMA mapping updates from Christoph Hellwig:
"A huge update this time, but a lot of that is just consolidating or
removing code:- provide a common DMA_MAPPING_ERROR definition and avoid indirect
calls for dma_map_* error checking- use direct calls for the DMA direct mapping case, avoiding huge
retpoline overhead for high performance workloads- merge the swiotlb dma_map_ops into dma-direct
- provide a generic remapping DMA consistent allocator for
architectures that have devices that perform DMA that is not cache
coherent. Based on the existing arm64 implementation and also used
for csky now.- improve the dma-debug infrastructure, including dynamic allocation
of entries (Robin Murphy)- default to providing chaining scatterlist everywhere, with opt-outs
for the few architectures (alpha, parisc, most arm32 variants) that
can't cope with it- misc sparc32 dma-related cleanups
- remove the dma_mark_clean arch hook used by swiotlb on ia64 and
replace it with the generic noncoherent infrastructure- fix the return type of dma_set_max_seg_size (Niklas Söderlund)
- move the dummy dma ops for not DMA capable devices from arm64 to
common code (Robin Murphy)- ensure dma_alloc_coherent returns zeroed memory to avoid kernel
data leaks through userspace. We already did this for most common
architectures, but this ensures we do it everywhere.

removed after -rc1 with a coccinelle script"* tag 'dma-mapping-4.21' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/dma-mapping: (73 commits)

Currently the PTE special supports is turned on in per architecture
header files. Most of the time, it is defined in
arch/*/include/asm/pgtable.h depending or not on some other per
architecture static definition.This patch introduce a new configuration variable to manage this
directly in the Kconfig files. It would later replace
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL.Here notes for some architecture where the definition of
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is not obvious:arm
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL which is currently defined in
arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable-3level.h which is included by
arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable.h when CONFIG_ARM_LPAE is set.
So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if ARM_LPAE.powerpc
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined in 2 files:
- arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/pgtable.h
- arch/powerpc/include/asm/pte-common.h
The first one is included if (PPC_BOOK3S & PPC64) while the second is
included in all the other cases.
So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL all the time.sparc:
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined if defined(__sparc__) &&
defined(__arch64__) which are defined through the compiler in
sparc/Makefile if !SPARC32 which I assume to be if SPARC64.
So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if SPARC64There is no functional change introduced by this patch.

Pul removal of obsolete architecture ports from Arnd Bergmann:
"This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv,
m32r, metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device
drivers.I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to
ensure that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely
unused in mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the
respective ports to start with and getting them included in upstream,
but also saw no point in keeping the port alive without any users.In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company in
charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It
seems that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not
used the custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In
contrast, CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively
maintained kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.[ See the new nds32 port merged in the previous commit for the next
generation of "one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU
microarchitecture and a software ecosystem" - Linus ]The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I
made sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile,
mn10300, and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old
kernels, but those products will never be updated to newer kernel
releases.After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
gcc support:- unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.- openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing
their support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first
place. They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some
degree, but complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1.
Csky posted their first kernel patch set last week, their situation
will be similar[ Palmer Dabbelt points out that RISC-V support is in mainline gcc
since gcc-7, although gcc-7.3.0 is the recommended minimum - Linus ]"This really says it all:

The list-arch.sh script considers lines beginning with "#" as match for
the feature table.Given that those tables are never in lines beginning with "#",
add a reverse grep on "^#" when matching the "ok/TODO" state of
the architecture.This allows adding comments within the feature files, for instance
describing the architecture requirements for the feature in each
architecture.Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers

Pull Xtensa updates from Max Filippov:
- add SSP support
- add KASAN support
- improvements to xtensa-specific assembly:
- use ENTRY and ENDPROC consistently
- clean up and unify word alignment macros
- clean up and unify fixup marking
- use 'call' instead of 'callx' where possible- various cleanups:
- consiolidate kernel stack size related definitions
- replace #ifdef'fed/commented out debug printk statements with
pr_debug
- use struct exc_table instead of flat array for exception handling
data- build kernel with -mtext-section-literals; simplify xtensa linker
script- fix futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic()

Cover kernel addresses above 0x90000000 by the shadow map. Enable
HAVE_ARCH_KASAN when MMU is enabled. Provide kasan_early_init that fills
shadow map with writable copies of kasan_zero_page. Call
kasan_early_init right after mmu initialization in the setup_arch.
Provide kasan_init that allocates proper shadow map pages from the
memblock and puts these pages into the shadow map for addresses from
VMALLOC area to the end of KSEG. Call kasan_init right after memblock
initialization. Don't use KASAN for the boot code, MMU and KASAN
initialization and page fault handler. Make kernel stack size 4 times
larger when KASAN is enabled to avoid stack overflows.
GCC 7.3, 8 or newer is required to build the xtensa kernel with KASAN.Signed-off-by: Max Filippov

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"Highlights include:- Larger virtual address space on 64-bit server CPUs. By default we
use a 128TB virtual address space, but a process can request access
to the full 512TB by passing a hint to mmap().- Support for the new Power9 "XIVE" interrupt controller.
- TLB flushing optimisations for the radix MMU on Power9.
- Support for CAPI cards on Power9, using the "Coherent Accelerator
Interface Architecture 2.0".- The ability to configure the mmap randomisation limits at build and
runtime.- Several small fixes and cleanups to the kprobes code, as well as
support for KPROBES_ON_FTRACE.- Major improvements to handling of system reset interrupts,
correctly treating them as NMIs, giving them a dedicated stack and
using a new hypervisor call to trigger them, all of which should
aid debugging and robustness.- Many fixes and other minor enhancements.
