<title>sh: fix smp_store_mb for !SMP</title>

sh variant of smp_store_mb() calls xchg() on !SMP which is stronger than
implied by both the name and the documentation.

commit 90a3ccb0be538a914e6a5c51ae919762261563ad ("sh: define __smp_xxx,
fix smp_store_mb for !SMP") was supposed to fix it but
left the bug in place.

Drop smp_store_mb, so that code in asm-generic/barrier.h
will define it correctly depending on CONFIG_SMP.

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>Kconfig: remove HAVE_LATENCYTOP_SUPPORT</title>

<content type='text'>
As illustrated by commit a3afe70b83fd ("[S390] latencytop s390
support."), HAVE_LATENCYTOP_SUPPORT is defined by an architecture to
advertise an implementation of save_stack_trace_tsk.

However, as of 9212ddb5eada ("stacktrace: provide save_stack_trace_tsk()
weak alias") a dummy implementation is provided if STACKTRACE=y.  Given
that LATENCYTOP already depends on STACKTRACE_SUPPORT and selects
STACKTRACE, we can remove HAVE_LATENCYTOP_SUPPORT altogether.

<title>mm: differentiate page_mapped() from page_mapcount() for compound pages</title>

<content type='text'>
Let's define page_mapped() to be true for compound pages if any
sub-pages of the compound page is mapped (with PMD or PTE).

On other hand page_mapcount() return mapcount for this particular small
page.

This will make cases like page_get_anon_vma() behave correctly once we
allow huge pages to be mapped with PTE.

Most users outside core-mm should use page_mapcount() instead of
page_mapped().

Pull MTD updates from Brian Norris:
 "Generic MTD:

   - populate the MTD device 'of_node' field (and get a proper 'of_node'
     symlink in sysfs)

     This yielded some new helper functions, and changes across a
     variety of drivers

   - partitioning cleanups, to prepare for better device-tree based
     partitioning in the future

     Eliminate a lot of boilerplate for drivers that want to use
     OF-based partition parsing

     The DT bindings for this didn't settle yet, so most non-cleanup
     portions are deferred for a future release

  NAND:

   - embed a struct mtd_info inside struct nand_chip

     This is really long overdue; too many drivers have to do the same
     silly boilerplate to allocate and link up two "independent"
     structs, when in fact, everyone is assuming there is an exact 1:1
     relationship between a NAND chips struct and its underlying MTD.
     This aids improved helpers and should make certain abstractions
     easier in the future.

     Also causes a lot of churn, helped along by some automated code
     transformations

   - add more core support for detecting (and "correcting") bitflips in
     erased pages; requires opt-in by drivers, but at least we kill a
     few bad implementations and hopefully stave off future ones

   - pxa3xx_nand: cleanups, a few fixes, and PM improvements

   - new JZ4780 NAND driver

  SPI NOR:

   - provide default erase function, for controllers that just want to
     send the SECTOR_ERASE command directly

   - fix some module auto-loading issues with device tree
     ("jedec,spi-nor")

   - error handling fixes

   - new Mediatek QSPI flash driver

  Other:

   - cfi: force valid geometry Kconfig (finally!)

     This one used to trip up randconfigs occasionally, since bots
     aren't deterred by big scary "advanced configuration" menus

  More? Probably. See the commit logs"

<title>sh: move xchg_cmpxchg to a header by itself</title>

Looks like future sh variants will support a 4-byte cas which will be
used to implement 1 and 2 byte xchg.

This is exactly what we do for llsc now, move the portable part of the
code into a separate header so it's easy to reuse.

This completes the xchg implementation for sh architecture.  Note: The
llsc variant is tricky since this only supports 4 byte atomics, the
existing implementation of 1 byte xchg is wrong: we need to do a 4 byte
cmpxchg and retry if any bytes changed meanwhile.

Write this in C for clarity.
