commit b0f84ac352762ed02d7ea9f284942a8cab7f9077 upstream.

All architectures now need ioremap_uc(), ia64 seems defines this already
through its ioremap_nocache() and it already ensures it *only* uses UC.

This is needed since v4.3 to complete an allyesconfig compile on ia64,
there were others archs that needed this, and this one seems to have
fallen through the cracks.

Move the generic implementation to &lt;linux/dma-mapping.h&gt; now that all
architectures support it and remove the HAVE_DMA_ATTR Kconfig symbol now
that everyone supports them.

<title>ia64: split off early_ioremap() declarations into asm/early_ioremap.h</title>

<id>809267708557ed5575831282f719ca644698084b</id>
<content type='text'>
Unlike x86, arm64 and ARM, ia64 does not declare its implementations
of early_ioremap/early_iounmap/early_memremap/early_memunmap in a header
file called &lt;asm/early_ioremap.h&gt;

This complicates the use of these functions in generic code, since the
header cannot be included directly, and we have to rely on transitive
includes, which is fragile.

So create a &lt;asm/early_ioremap.h&gt; for ia64, and move the existing
definitions into it.

This defines __smp_xxx barriers for ia64,
for use by virtualization.

smp_xxx barriers are removed as they are
defined correctly by asm-generic/barriers.h

This reduces the amount of arch-specific boiler-plate code.

On ia64 smp_rmb, smp_wmb, read_barrier_depends, smp_read_barrier_depends
and smp_store_mb() match the asm-generic variants exactly. Drop the
local definitions and pull in asm-generic/barrier.h instead.

This is in preparation to refactoring this code area.

<title>lcoking/barriers, arch: Use smp barriers in smp_store_release()</title>

With commit b92b8b35a2e ("locking/arch: Rename set_mb() to smp_store_mb()")
it was made clear that the context of this call (and thus set_mb)
is strictly for CPU ordering, as opposed to IO. As such all archs
should use the smp variant of mb(), respecting the semantics and
saving a mandatory barrier on UP.
