Commit 654102df2ac2 ("kbuild: add generic support for built-in
boot DTBs") introduced generic support for built-in DTBs.

Select GENERIC_BUILTIN_DTB when built-in DTB support is enabled.

To keep consistency across architectures, this commit also renames
CONFIG_USE_BUILTIN_DTB to CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB, and
CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB_SOURCE to CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB_NAME.

<title>sh: irq: Use seq_put_decimal_ull_width() for decimal values</title>

<content type='text'>
On a system with n CPUs and m interrupts, there will be n*m decimal
values yielded via seq_printf(.."%10u "..) which has significant costs
parsing format string and is less efficient than seq_put_decimal_ull_width().
Stress reading /proc/interrupts indicates ~30% performance improvement with
this patch.

Pull sh updates from John Paul Adrian Glaubitz:
 "Two small fixes.

  The first one by Huacai Chen addresses a runtime warning when
  CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK and CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS are selected
  which occurs because the cpuinfo code on sh incorrectly uses NR_CPUS
  when iterating CPUs instead of the runtime limit nr_cpu_ids.

  A second fix by Dan Carpenter fixes a use-after-free bug in
  register_intc_controller() which occurred as a result of improper
  error handling in the interrupt controller driver code when
  registering an interrupt controller during plat_irq_setup() on sh"

When CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK and CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS are selected,
cpu_max_bits_warn() generates a runtime warning similar as below when
showing /proc/cpuinfo. Fix this by using nr_cpu_ids (the runtime limit)
instead of NR_CPUS to iterate CPUs.

   - Add some documentation on the different forms of YAML text blocks

   - Fix some schema errors in constraints for arrays

   - Add compatibles for qcom,sar2130p-pdc and onnn,adt7462

  DT core:

   - Allow overlay kunit tests to run CONFIG_OF_OVERLAY=n

   - Add some warnings on deprecated address handling

   - Rework early_init_dt_scan() so the arch can pass in the phys
     address of the DTB as __pa() is not always valid to use. This fixes
     a warning for arm64 with kexec.

   - Add and use some new DT graph iterators for iterating over ports
     and endpoints

   - Rework reserved-memory handling to be sized dynamically for fixed

   - Optimize of_modalias() to avoid a strlen() call

Add the four syscalls setxattrat(), getxattrat(), listxattrat() and
removexattrat().  Those can be used to operate on extended attributes,
especially security related ones, either relative to a pinned directory
or on a file descriptor without read access, avoiding a
/proc/&lt;pid&gt;/fd/&lt;fd&gt; detour, requiring a mounted procfs.

One use case will be setfiles(8) setting SELinux file contexts
("security.selinux") without race conditions and without a file
descriptor opened with read access requiring SELinux read permission.

Use the do_{name}at() pattern from fs/open.c.

Pass the value of the extended attribute, its length, and for
setxattrat(2) the command (XATTR_CREATE or XATTR_REPLACE) via an added
struct xattr_args to not exceed six syscall arguments and not
merging the AT_* and XATTR_* flags.

[AV: fixes by Christian Brauner folded in, the entire thing rebased on
top of {filename,file}_...xattr() primitives, treatment of empty
pathnames regularized.  As the result, AT_EMPTY_PATH+NULL handling
is cheap, so f...(2) can use it]

<title>of/fdt: add dt_phys arg to early_init_dt_scan and early_init_dt_verify</title>

 __pa() is only intended to be used for linear map addresses and using
it for initial_boot_params which is in fixmap for arm64 will give an
incorrect value. Hence save the physical address when it is known at
boot time when calling early_init_dt_scan for arm64 and use it at kexec
time instead of converting the virtual address using __pa().

Note that arm64 doesn't need the FDT region reserved in the DT as the
kernel explicitly reserves the passed in FDT. Therefore, only a debug
warning is fixed with this change.

might as well move that thing to linux/unaligned.h and include

<title>mm: remove legacy install_special_mapping() code</title>

<content type='text'>
All relevant architectures had already been converted to the new interface
(which just has an underscore in front of the name - not very imaginative
naming), this just force-converts the stragglers.

The modern interface is almost identical to the old one, except instead of
the page pointer it takes a "struct vm_special_mapping" that describes the
mapping (and contains the page pointer as one member), and it returns the
resulting 'vma' instead of just the error code.

Getting rid of the old interface also gets rid of some special casing,
which had caused problems with the mremap extensions to "struct
vm_special_mapping".
