Pull generic ioremap support from Christoph Hellwig:
 "This adds the remaining bits for an entirely generic ioremap and
  iounmap to lib/ioremap.c. To facilitate that, it cleans up the giant
  mess of weird ioremap variants we had with no users outside the arch
  code.

  For now just the three newest ports use the code, but there is more
  than a handful others that can be converted without too much work.

  Summary:

   - clean up various obsolete ioremap and iounmap variants

   - add a new generic ioremap implementation and switch csky, nds32 and
     riscv over to it"

* tag 'ioremap-5.5' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/ioremap: (21 commits)
  nds32: use generic ioremap
  csky: use generic ioremap
  csky: remove ioremap_cache
  riscv: use the generic ioremap code
  lib: provide a simple generic ioremap implementation
  sh: remove __iounmap
  nios2: remove __iounmap
  hexagon: remove __iounmap
  m68k: rename __iounmap and mark it static

Rename RW_DATA_SECTION to RW_DATA. (Calling this a "section" is a lie,
since it's multiple sections and section flags cannot be applied to
the macro.)

The .notes section should be non-executable read-only data. As such,
move it to the RO_DATA macro instead of being per-architecture defined.

<title>mm: treewide: clarify pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() naming</title>

<id>b4ed71f557e458257e0f71b11969954acb389240</id>
<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>mm: consolidate pgtable_cache_init() and pgd_cache_init()</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

Pull dma-mapping updates from Christoph Hellwig:

 - add dma-mapping and block layer helpers to take care of IOMMU merging
   for mmc plus subsequent fixups (Yoshihiro Shimoda)

 - rework handling of the pgprot bits for remapping (me)

 - take care of the dma direct infrastructure for swiotlb-xen (me)

 - improve the dma noncoherent remapping infrastructure (me)

 - better defaults for -&gt;mmap, -&gt;get_sgtable and -&gt;get_required_mask
   (me)

 - cleanup mmaping of coherent DMA allocations (me)

 - various misc cleanups (Andy Shevchenko, me)
