commit 80785f5a22e9073e2ded5958feb7f220e066d17b upstream.

Armada 8040 needs four clocks to be enabled for MDIO accesses to work.
Update the binding to allow the extra clock to be specified.

<title>x86/atomic: Fix smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic()</title>

[ Upstream commit 69d927bba39517d0980462efc051875b7f4db185 ]

Recent probing at the Linux Kernel Memory Model uncovered a
'surprise'. Strongly ordered architectures where the atomic RmW
primitive implies full memory ordering and
smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic() are a simple barrier() (such as x86)
fail for:

	*x = 1;
	atomic_inc(u);
	smp_mb__after_atomic();
	r0 = *y;

Because, while the atomic_inc() implies memory order, it
(surprisingly) does not provide a compiler barrier. This then allows
the compiler to re-order like so:

	atomic_inc(u);
	*x = 1;
	smp_mb__after_atomic();
	r0 = *y;

Which the CPU is then allowed to re-order (under TSO rules) like:

	atomic_inc(u);
	r0 = *y;
	*x = 1;

And this very much was not intended. Therefore strengthen the atomic
RmW ops to include a compiler barrier.

NOTE: atomic_{or,and,xor} and the bitops already had the compiler
barrier.

<title>sched/fair: Fix "runnable_avg_yN_inv" not used warnings</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 509466b7d480bc5d22e90b9fbe6122ae0e2fbe39 ]

runnable_avg_yN_inv[] is only used in kernel/sched/pelt.c but was
included in several other places because they need other macros all
came from kernel/sched/sched-pelt.h which was generated by
Documentation/scheduler/sched-pelt. As the result, it causes compilation
a lot of warnings,

  kernel/sched/sched-pelt.h:4:18: warning: 'runnable_avg_yN_inv' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
  kernel/sched/sched-pelt.h:4:18: warning: 'runnable_avg_yN_inv' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
  kernel/sched/sched-pelt.h:4:18: warning: 'runnable_avg_yN_inv' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
  ...

Silence it by appending the __maybe_unused attribute for it, so all
generated variables and macros can still be kept in the same file.

After commit d4fc5069a394 ("mm: switch s_mem and slab_cache in struct page")
page-&gt;mapping will be re-used by slab allocations and page-&gt;mapping-&gt;host
will be used in balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() as an inode member but
it's not an inode in fact and leads an oops.
