commit 8d92e992a785f35d23f845206cf8c6cafbc264e0 upstream.

The default defintions use fill pattern 0x90 for padding which for ARC
generates unintended "ldh_s r12,[r0,0x20]" corresponding to opcode 0x9090

So use ".align 4" which insert a "nop_s" instruction instead.

<title>ARC: perf: Accommodate big-endian CPU</title>

<id>5effc09c4907901f0e71e68e5f2e14211d9a203f</id>

8-letter strings representing ARC perf events are stores in two
32-bit registers as ASCII characters like that: "IJMP", "IALL", "IJMPTAK" etc.

And the same order of bytes in the word is used regardless CPU endianness.

Which means in case of big-endian CPU core we need to swap bytes to get
the same order as if it was on little-endian CPU.

Otherwise we're seeing the following error message on boot:
-------------------------&gt;8----------------------
ARC perf        : 8 counters (32 bits), 40 conditions, [overflow IRQ support]
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/arc_pct/events/pmji'

---[ end trace a75fb9a9837bd1ec ]---
-------------------------&gt;8----------------------

What happens here we're trying to register more than one raw perf event
with the same name "PMJI". Why? Because ARC perf events are 4 to 8 letters
and encoded into two 32-bit words. In this particular case we deal with 2
events:
 * "IJMP____" which counts all jump &amp; branch instructions
 * "IJMPC___" which counts only conditional jumps &amp; branches

Those strings are split in two 32-bit words this way "IJMP" + "____" &amp;
"IJMP" + "C___" correspondingly. Now if we read them swapped due to CPU core
being big-endian then we read "PMJI" + "____" &amp; "PMJI" + "___C".

And since we interpret read array of ASCII letters as a null-terminated string
on big-endian CPU we end up with 2 events of the same name "PMJI".

<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().

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.

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.

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - add modpost warn exported symbols marked as 'static' because 'static'
   and EXPORT_SYMBOL is an odd combination

 - break the build early if gold linker is used

 - optimize the Bison rule to produce .c and .h files by a single
   pattern rule

 - handle PREEMPT_RT in the module vermagic and UTS_VERSION

 - warn CONFIG options leaked to the user-space except existing ones

 - make single targets work properly

 - rebuild modules when module linker scripts are updated

 - split the module final link stage into scripts/Makefile.modfinal

 - fix the missed error code in merge_config.sh

 - improve the error message displayed on the attempt of the O= build in
   unclean source tree

 - remove 'clean-dirs' syntax

 - disable -Wimplicit-fallthrough warning for Clang

 - add CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE_O3 for ARC

 - remove ARCH_{CPP,A,C}FLAGS variables

 - add $(BASH) to run bash scripts

 - change *CFLAGS_&lt;basetarget&gt;.o to take the relative path to $(obj)
   instead of the basename

 - stop suppressing Clang's -Wunused-function warnings when W=1

 - fix linux/export.h to avoid genksyms calculating CRC of trimmed
   exported symbols

 - misc cleanups
