Commit a9f2fc628e3a ("xtensa: cleanup MMU setup and kernel layout macros")
removed the use of a2 in the beginning of the initialize_mmu macro, but
left the register load that is no longer used. Remove it as well.

pgprot_noncached assumes that cache bypass attribute is represented as
zero. This may not always be true. Fix pgprot_noncached definition by
adding _PAGE_CA_BYPASS to the result.

<title>locking/arch: Move qrwlock.h include after qspinlock.h</title>

include/asm-generic/qrwlock.h was trying to get arch_spin_is_locked via
asm-generic/qspinlock.h.  However, this does not work because architectures
might be using queued rwlocks but not queued spinlocks (csky), or because they
might be defining their own queued_* macros before including asm/qspinlock.h.

To fix this, ensure that asm/spinlock.h always includes qrwlock.h after
defining arch_spin_is_locked (either directly for csky, or via
asm/qspinlock.h for other architectures).  The only inclusion elsewhere
is in kernel/locking/qrwlock.c.  That one is really unnecessary because
the file is only compiled in SMP configurations (config QUEUED_RWLOCKS
depends on SMP) and in that case linux/spinlock.h already includes
asm/qrwlock.h if needed, via asm/spinlock.h.

Make &lt;asm-generic/local64.h&gt; mandatory in include/asm-generic/Kbuild and
remove all arch/*/include/asm/local64.h arch-specific files since they
only #include &lt;asm-generic/local64.h&gt;.

This fixes build errors on arch/c6x/ and arch/nios2/ for
block/blk-iocost.c.

Build-tested on 21 of 25 arch-es.  (tools problems on the others)

Yes, we could even rename &lt;asm-generic/local64.h&gt; to
&lt;linux/local64.h&gt; and change all #includes to use
&lt;linux/local64.h&gt; instead.

Pull TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This sits on top of of the core entry/exit and x86 entry branch from
  the tip tree, which contains the generic and x86 parts of this work.

  Here we convert the rest of the archs to support TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL.

  With that done, we can get rid of JOBCTL_TASK_WORK from task_work and
  signal.c, and also remove a deadlock work-around in io_uring around
  knowing that signal based task_work waking is invoked with the sighand
  wait queue head lock.

  The motivation for this work is to decouple signal notify based
  task_work, of which io_uring is a heavy user of, from sighand. The
  sighand lock becomes a huge contention point, particularly for
  threaded workloads where it's shared between threads. Even outside of
  threaded applications it's slower than it needs to be.

  Roman Gershman &lt;romger@amazon.com&gt; reported that his networked
  workload dropped from 1.6M QPS at 80% CPU to 1.0M QPS at 100% CPU
  after io_uring was changed to use TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL. The time was all
  spent hammering on the sighand lock, showing 57% of the CPU time there
  [1].

  There are further cleanups possible on top of this. One example is
  TIF_PATCH_PENDING, where a patch already exists to use
  TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL instead. Hopefully this will also lead to more
  consolidation, but the work stands on its own as well"

 "The new preemtible kmap_local() implementation:

   - Consolidate all kmap_atomic() internals into a generic
     implementation which builds the base for the kmap_local() API and
     make the kmap_atomic() interface wrappers which handle the
     disabling/enabling of preemption and pagefaults.

   - Switch the storage from per-CPU to per task and provide scheduler
     support for clearing mapping when scheduling out and restoring them
     when scheduling back in.

   - Merge the migrate_disable/enable() code, which is also part of the
     scheduler pull request. This was required to make the kmap_local()
     interface available which does not disable preemption when a
     mapping is established. It has to disable migration instead to
     guarantee that the virtual address of the mapped slot is the same
     across preemption.

   - Provide better debug facilities: guard pages and enforced
     utilization of the mapping mechanics on 64bit systems when the
     architecture allows it.

   - Provide the new kmap_local() API which can now be used to cleanup
     the kmap_atomic() usage sites all over the place. Most of the usage
     sites do not require the implicit disabling of preemption and
     pagefaults so the penalty on 64bit and 32bit non-highmem systems is
     removed and quite some of the code can be simplified. A wholesale
     conversion is not possible because some usage depends on the
     implicit side effects and some need to be cleaned up because they
     work around these side effects.

     The migrate disable side effect is only effective on highmem
     systems and when enforced debugging is enabled. On 64bit and 32bit
     non-highmem systems the overhead is completely avoided"

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:

 - Expose tag address bits in siginfo. The original arm64 ABI did not
   expose any of the bits 63:56 of a tagged address in siginfo. In the
   presence of user ASAN or MTE, this information may be useful. The
   implementation is generic to other architectures supporting tags
   (like SPARC ADI, subject to wiring up the arch code). The user will
   have to opt in via sigaction(SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS) so that the extra
   bits, if available, become visible in si_addr.

 - Default to 32-bit wide ZONE_DMA. Previously, ZONE_DMA was set to the
   lowest 1GB to cope with the Raspberry Pi 4 limitations, to the
   detriment of other platforms. With these changes, the kernel scans
   the Device Tree dma-ranges and the ACPI IORT information before
   deciding on a smaller ZONE_DMA.

 - Strengthen READ_ONCE() to acquire when CONFIG_LTO=y. When building
   with LTO, there is an increased risk of the compiler converting an
   address dependency headed by a READ_ONCE() invocation into a control
   dependency and consequently allowing for harmful reordering by the
   CPU.

 - Add CPPC FFH support using arm64 AMU counters.

 - set_fs() removal on arm64. This renders the User Access Override
   (UAO) ARMv8 feature unnecessary.

 - Perf updates: PMU driver for the ARM DMC-620 memory controller, sysfs
   identifier file for SMMUv3, stop event counters support for i.MX8MP,
   enable the perf events-based hard lockup detector.

 - Reorganise the kernel VA space slightly so that 52-bit VA
   configurations can use more virtual address space.

 - Improve the robustness of the arm64 memory offline event notifier.

 - Pad the Image header to 64K following the EFI header definition
   updated recently to increase the section alignment to 64K.

 - Support CONFIG_CMDLINE_EXTEND on arm64.

 - Do not use tagged PC in the kernel (TCR_EL1.TBID1==1), freeing up 8
   bits for PtrAuth.

 - Switch to vmapped shadow call stacks.

 - Miscellaneous clean-ups.

<title>arch: move SA_* definitions to generic headers</title>

Most architectures with the exception of alpha, mips, parisc and
sparc use the same values for these flags. Move their definitions into
asm-generic/signal-defs.h and allow the architectures with non-standard
values to override them. Also, document the non-standard flag values
in order to make it easier to add new generic flags in the future.

A consequence of this change is that on powerpc and x86, the constants'
values aside from SA_RESETHAND change signedness from unsigned
to signed. This is not expected to impact realistic use of these
constants. In particular the typical use of the constants where they
are or'ed together and assigned to sa_flags (or another int variable)
would not be affected.
