KernelCI reports that bcm2835_defconfig is no longer booting since
commit ac7c3e4ff401 ("compiler: enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING
forcibly") (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/26/825).

I also received a regression report from Nicolas Saenz Julienne
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/27/263).

This problem has cropped up on bcm2835_defconfig because it enables
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. The compiler tends to prefer not inlining
functions with -Os. I was able to reproduce it with other boards and
defconfig files by manually enabling CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE.

The __get_user_check() specifically uses r0, r1, r2 registers.
So, uaccess_save_and_enable() and uaccess_restore() must be inlined.
Otherwise, those register assignments would be entirely dropped,
according to my analysis of the disassembly.

Prior to commit 9012d011660e ("compiler: allow all arches to enable
CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING"), the 'inline' marker was always enough for
inlining functions, except on x86.

Since that commit, all architectures can enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING.
So, __always_inline is now the only guaranteed way of forcible inlining.

I added __always_inline to 4 functions in the call-graph from the
__get_user_check() macro.

Today the EFI runtime functions are setup in architecture specific
code (x86 and arm), with the functions themselves living in drivers/xen
as they are not architecture dependent.

As the setup is exactly the same for arm and x86 move the setup to
drivers/xen, too. This at once removes the need to make the single
functions global visible.

<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.

<title>arm: use generic mmap top-down layout and brk randomization</title>

<content type='text'>
arm uses a top-down mmap layout by default that exactly fits the generic
functions, so get rid of arch specific code and use the generic version by
selecting ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_TOPDOWN_MMAP_LAYOUT.

As ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_TOPDOWN_MMAP_LAYOUT selects ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE,
use the generic version of arch_randomize_brk since it also fits.  Note
that this commit also removes the possibility for arm to have elf
randomization and no MMU: without MMU, the security added by randomization
is worth nothing.

Note that it is safe to remove STACK_RND_MASK since it matches the default
value.

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.
