With our current support for the new MIO PCI instructions, write
combining/write back MMIO memory can be obtained via the pci_iomap_wc()
and pci_iomap_wc_range() functions.
This is achieved by using the write back address for a specific bar
as provided in clp_store_query_pci_fn()These functions are however not widely used and instead drivers often
rely on ioremap_wc() and ioremap_prot(), which on other platforms enable
write combining using a PTE flag set through the pgrprot value.While we do not have a write combining flag in the low order flag bits
of the PTE like x86_64 does, with MIO support, there is a write back bit
in the physical address (bit 1 on z15) and thus also the PTE.
Which bit is used to toggle write back and whether it is available at
all, is however not fixed in the architecture. Instead we get this
information from the CLP Store Logical Processor Characteristics for PCI
command. When the write back bit is not provided we fall back to the
existing behavior.Signed-off-by: Niklas Schnelle

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
- Add support for (optionally) using queued spinlocks & rwlocks.
- Support for a new faster system call ABI using the scv instruction on
Power9 or later.- Drop support for the PROT_SAO mmap/mprotect flag as it will be
unsupported on Power10 and future processors, leaving us with no way
to implement the functionality it requests. This risks breaking
userspace, though we believe it is unused in practice.- A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion
checking. We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other
architectures.- Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update
code, which tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised
systems, but was prone to crashes and other problems.- Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs.
- A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link
stack (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path.- Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as
usual.Thanks to: Abhishek Goel, Alastair D'Silva, Alexander A. Klimov, Alexey

The unicore32 port do not seem maintained for a long time now, there is no
upstream toolchain that can create unicore32 binaries and all the links to
prebuilt toolchains for unicore32 are dead. Even compilers that were
available are not supported by the kernel anymore.Guenter Roeck says:
I have stopped building unicore32 images since v4.19 since there is no
available compiler that is still supported by the kernel. I am surprised
that support for it has not been removed from the kernel.Remove unicore32 port.

This adds tests which will validate architecture page table helpers and
other accessors in their compliance with expected generic MM semantics.
This will help various architectures in validating changes to existing
page table helpers or addition of new ones.This test covers basic page table entry transformations including but not
limited to old, young, dirty, clean, write, write protect etc at various
level along with populating intermediate entries with next page table page
and validating them.Test page table pages are allocated from system memory with required size
and alignments. The mapped pfns at page table levels are derived from a
real pfn representing a valid kernel text symbol. This test gets called
via late_initcall().This test gets built and run when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE is selected.
Any architecture, which is willing to subscribe this test will need to
select ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE. For now this is limited to arc, arm64,
x86, s390 and powerpc platforms where the test is known to build and run
successfully Going forward, other architectures too can subscribe the test
after fixing any build or runtime problems with their page table helpers.Folks interested in making sure that a given platform's page table helpers
conform to expected generic MM semantics should enable the above config
which will just trigger this test during boot. Any non conformity here
will be reported as an warning which would need to be fixed. This test
will help catch any changes to the agreed upon semantics expected from
generic MM and enable platforms to accommodate it thereafter.[anshuman.khandual@arm.com: v17]

CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is used to differentiate initialization of
nodes and zones structures between the systems that have region to node
mapping in memblock and those that don't.Currently all the NUMA architectures enable this option and for the
non-NUMA systems we can presume that all the memory belongs to node 0 and
therefore the compile time configuration option is not required.The remaining few architectures that use DISCONTIGMEM without NUMA are
easily updated to use memblock_add_node() instead of memblock_add() and
thus have proper correspondence of memblock regions to NUMA nodes.Still, free_area_init_node() must have a backward compatible version
because its semantics with and without CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is
different. Once all the architectures will use the new semantics, the
entire compatibility layer can be dropped.To avoid addition of extra run time memory to store node id for
architectures that keep memblock but have only a single node, the node id
field of the memblock_region is guarded by CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and
the corresponding accessors presume that in those cases it is always 0.Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport

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.
dma_zalloc_coherent has been deprecated and can hopefully be
removed after -rc1 with a coccinelle script"* tag 'dma-mapping-4.21' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/dma-mapping: (73 commits)
dma-mapping: fix inverted logic in dma_supported
dma-mapping: deprecate dma_zalloc_coherent
dma-mapping: zero memory returned from dma_alloc_*
sparc/iommu: fix ->map_sg return value
sparc/io-unit: fix ->map_sg return value
arm64: default to the direct mapping in get_arch_dma_ops
PCI: Remove unused attr variable in pci_dma_configure
ia64: only select ARCH_HAS_DMA_COHERENT_TO_PFN if swiotlb is enabled
dma-mapping: bypass indirect calls for dma-direct
vmd: use the proper dma_* APIs instead of direct methods calls
