<title>parisc: Fix flush_dcache_page() for usage from irq context</title>

<id>61e150fb310729c98227a5edf6e4a3619edc3702</id>
<content type='text'>
Since at least kernel 6.1, flush_dcache_page() is called with IRQs
disabled, e.g. from aio_complete().

But the current implementation for flush_dcache_page() on parisc
unintentionally re-enables IRQs, which may lead to deadlocks.

Fix it by using xa_lock_irqsave() and xa_unlock_irqrestore()
for the flush_dcache_mmap_*lock() macros instead.

<title>parisc: Add lightweight spinlock checks</title>

<id>15e64ef6520ea8702998db05b87fa5c3d3d40710</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a lightweight spinlock check which uses only two instructions
per spinlock call. It detects if a spinlock has been trashed by
some memory corruption and then halts the kernel. It will not detect
uninitialized spinlocks, for which CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK needs to
be enabled.

This lightweight spinlock check shouldn't influence runtime, so it's
safe to enable it by default.

The __ARCH_SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED_VAL constant has been choosen small enough
to be able to be loaded by one LDI assembler statement.

<title>parisc: Replace regular spinlock with spin_trylock on panic path</title>

<content type='text'>
The panic notifiers' callbacks execute in an atomic context, with
interrupts/preemption disabled, and all CPUs not running the panic
function are off, so it's very dangerous to wait on a regular
spinlock, there's a risk of deadlock.

Refactor the panic notifier of parisc/power driver to make use
of spin_trylock - for that, we've added a second version of the
soft-power function. Also, some comments were reorganized and
trailing white spaces, useless header inclusion and blank lines
were removed.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.3-rc1.

  There's a lot of changes this development cycle, most of the work
  falls into two different categories:

   - fw_devlink fixes and updates. This has gone through numerous review
     cycles and lots of review and testing by lots of different devices.
     Hopefully all should be good now, and Saravana will be keeping a
     watch for any potential regression on odd embedded systems.

   - driver core changes to work to make struct bus_type able to be
     moved into read-only memory (i.e. const) The recent work with Rust
     has pointed out a number of areas in the driver core where we are
     passing around and working with structures that really do not have
     to be dynamic at all, and they should be able to be read-only
     making things safer overall. This is the contuation of that work
     (started last release with kobject changes) in moving struct
     bus_type to be constant. We didn't quite make it for this release,
     but the remaining patches will be finished up for the release after
     this one, but the groundwork has been laid for this effort.

  Other than that we have in here:

   - debugfs memory leak fixes in some subsystems

   - error path cleanups and fixes for some never-able-to-be-hit
     codepaths.

   - cacheinfo rework and fixes

   - Other tiny fixes, full details are in the shortlog

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  problems"

  that there's a pending report that has a fix that is queued up - Linus ]
