<title>xtensa: use CONFIG_USE_OF instead of CONFIG_OF</title>

CONFIG_OF can be set by a randconfig or by a user -- without setting the
early flattree option (OF_EARLY_FLATTREE).  This causes build errors.
However, if randconfig or a user sets USE_OF in the Xtensa config,
the right kconfig symbols are set to fix the build.

Fixes these build errors:

<title>asm-generic: reverse GENERIC_{STRNCPY_FROM,STRNLEN}_USER symbols</title>

<id>e6226997ec5ac272fa76274c3675bd5b7b437c53</id>
<content type='text'>
Most architectures do not need a custom implementation, and in most
cases the generic implementation is preferred, so change the polariy
on these Kconfig symbols to require architectures to select them when
they provide their own version.

The new name is CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_{STRNCPY_FROM,STRNLEN}_USER.

The remaining architectures at the moment are: ia64, mips, parisc,
um and xtensa. We should probably convert these as well, but
I was not sure how far to take this series. Thomas Bogendoerfer
had some concerns about converting mips but may still do some
more detailed measurements to see which version is better.

Pull asm/unaligned.h unification from Arnd Bergmann:
 "Unify asm/unaligned.h around struct helper

  The get_unaligned()/put_unaligned() helpers are traditionally
  architecture specific, with the two main variants being the
  "access-ok.h" version that assumes unaligned pointer accesses always
  work on a particular architecture, and the "le-struct.h" version that
  casts the data to a byte aligned type before dereferencing, for
  architectures that cannot always do unaligned accesses in hardware.

  Based on the discussion linked below, it appears that the access-ok
  version is not realiable on any architecture, but the struct version
  probably has no downsides. This series changes the code to use the
  same implementation on all architectures, addressing the few
  exceptions separately"

Currently most platforms define pmd_pgtable() as pmd_page() duplicating
the same code all over.  Instead just define a default value i.e
pmd_page() for pmd_pgtable() and let platforms override when required via
&lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt;.  All the existing platform that override pmd_pgtable()
have been moved into their respective &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt; header in order to
precede before the new generic definition.  This makes it much cleaner
with reduced code.

<title>mm: define default value for FIRST_USER_ADDRESS</title>

<id>fac7757e1fb05b75c8e22d4f8fe2f6c9c4d7edca</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently most platforms define FIRST_USER_ADDRESS as 0UL duplication the
same code all over.  Instead just define a generic default value (i.e 0UL)
for FIRST_USER_ADDRESS and let the platforms override when required.  This
makes it much cleaner with reduced code.

The default FIRST_USER_ADDRESS here would be skipped in &lt;linux/pgtable.h&gt;
when the given platform overrides its value via &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt;.

There are several places that mention DISCONIGMEM in comments or have
stale code guarded by CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM.

Remove the dead code and update the comments.

1. These tlb flush functions have been using vma instead mm long time
   ago, but there is still some comments use mm as parameter.

2. the actual struct we use is vm_area_struct instead of vma_struct.

3. remove unused flush_kern_tlb_page.

<title>locking/atomic: xtensa: move to ARCH_ATOMIC</title>

<id>b9b12978a8e9a4bb77746e74eae37e587f7f8994</id>
<content type='text'>
We'd like all architectures to convert to ARCH_ATOMIC, as once all
architectures are converted it will be possible to make significant
cleanups to the atomics headers, and this will make it much easier to
generically enable atomic functionality (e.g. debug logic in the
instrumented wrappers).

As a step towards that, this patch migrates xtensa to ARCH_ATOMIC. The
arch code provides arch_{atomic,atomic64,xchg,cmpxchg}*(), and common
code wraps these with optional instrumentation to provide the regular
functions.
