<title>xtensa: use CONFIG_USE_OF instead of CONFIG_OF</title>
<updated>2021-09-27T13:08:58+00:00</updated>

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:

Pull exit cleanups from Eric Biederman:
 "In preparation of doing something about PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT I have
  started cleaning up various pieces of code related to do_exit. Most of
  that code I did not manage to get tested and reviewed before the merge
  window opened but a handful of very useful cleanups are ready to be
  merged.

  The first change is simply the removal of the bdflush system call. The
  code has now been disabled long enough that even the oldest userspace
  working userspace setups anyone can find to test are fine with the
  bdflush system call being removed.

  Changing m68k fsp040_die to use force_sigsegv(SIGSEGV) instead of
  calling do_exit directly is interesting only in that it is nearly the
  most difficult of the incorrect uses of do_exit to remove.

  The change to the seccomp code to simply send a signal instead of
  calling do_coredump directly is a very nice little cleanup made
  possible by realizing the existing signal sending helpers were missing
  a little bit of functionality that is easy to provide"

* 'exit-cleanups-for-v5.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
  signal/seccomp: Dump core when there is only one live thread
  signal/seccomp: Refactor seccomp signal and coredump generation
  signal/m68k: Use force_sigsegv(SIGSEGV) in fpsp040_die
  exit/bdflush: Remove the deprecated bdflush system call

Wherever possible, replace constructs that match either
generic_handle_irq(irq_find_mapping()) or
generic_handle_irq(irq_linear_revmap()) to a single call to
generic_handle_domain_irq().

Track which IRQs have been served at each level to make sure that no IRQ
is served more than once while other IRQs at the same level are pending.

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

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.
