Scattered across the archs are 3 basic forms of tlb_{start,end}_vma().
Provide two new MMU_GATHER_knobs to enumerate them and remove the per
arch tlb_{start,end}_vma() implementations.

 - MMU_GATHER_NO_FLUSH_CACHE indicates the arch has flush_cache_range()
   but does *NOT* want to call it for each VMA.

 - MMU_GATHER_MERGE_VMAS indicates the arch wants to merge the
   invalidate across multiple VMAs if possible.

With these it is possible to capture the three forms:

  1) empty stubs;
     select MMU_GATHER_NO_FLUSH_CACHE and MMU_GATHER_MERGE_VMAS

  2) start: flush_cache_range(), end: empty;
     select MMU_GATHER_MERGE_VMAS

  3) start: flush_cache_range(), end: flush_tlb_range();
     default

Obviously, if the architecture does not have flush_cache_range() then
it also doesn't need to select MMU_GATHER_NO_FLUSH_CACHE.

Pull objtool fixes from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Handle __ubsan_handle_builtin_unreachable() correctly and treat it as
   noreturn

 - Allow architectures to select uaccess validation

 - Use the non-instrumented bit test for test_cpu_has() to prevent
   escape from non-instrumentable regions

 - Use arch_ prefixed atomics for JUMP_LABEL=n builds to prevent escape
   from non-instrumentable regions

 - Mark a few tiny inline as __always_inline to prevent GCC from
   bringing them out of line and instrumenting them

 - Mark the empty stub context_tracking_enabled() as always inline as
   GCC brings them out of line and instruments the empty shell

 - Annotate ex_handler_msr_mce() as dead end

Pull modules updates from  Luis Chamberlain:

 - It was time to tidy up kernel/module.c and one way of starting with
   that effort was to split it up into files. At my request Aaron Tomlin
   spearheaded that effort with the goal to not introduce any functional
   at all during that endeavour. The penalty for the split is +1322
   bytes total, +112 bytes in data, +1210 bytes in text while bss is
   unchanged. One of the benefits of this other than helping make the
   code easier to read and review is summoning more help on review for
   changes with livepatching so kernel/module/livepatch.c is now pegged
   as maintained by the live patching folks.

   The before and after with just the move on a defconfig on x86-64:

     $ size kernel/module.o
        text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
       38434    4540     104   43078    a846 kernel/module.o

     $ size -t kernel/module/*.o

      39644    4652     104   44400    ad70 (TOTALS)

 - Aaron added module unload taint tracking (MODULE_UNLOAD_TAINT_TRACKING),
   to enable tracking unloaded modules which did taint the kernel.

 - Christophe Leroy added CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC
   which lets architectures to request having modules data in vmalloc
   area instead of module area. There are three reasons why an
   architecture might want this:

    a) On some architectures (like book3s/32) it is not possible to
       protect against execution on a page basis. The exec stuff can be
       mapped by different arch segment sizes (on book3s/32 that is 256M
       segments). By default the module area is in an Exec segment while
       vmalloc area is in a NoExec segment. Using vmalloc lets you muck
       with module data as NoExec on those architectures whereas before
       you could not.

    b) By pushing more module data to vmalloc you also increase the
       probability of module text to remain within a closer distance
       from kernel core text and this reduces trampolines, this has been
       reported on arm first and powerpc folks are following that lead.

    c) Free'ing module_alloc() (Exec by default) area leaves this
       exposed as Exec by default, some architectures have some security
       enhancements to set this as NoExec on free, and splitting module
       data with text let's future generic special allocators be added
       to the kernel without having developers try to grok the tribal
       knowledge per arch. Work like Rick Edgecombe's permission vmalloc
       interface [0] becomes easier to address over time.

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Comprehensive interface overhaul:
   =================================

   Objtool's interface has some issues:

     - Several features are done unconditionally, without any way to
       turn them off. Some of them might be surprising. This makes
       objtool tricky to use, and prevents porting individual features
       to other arches.

     - The config dependencies are too coarse-grained. Objtool
       enablement is tied to CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION, but it has several
       other features independent of that.

     - The objtool subcmds ("check" and "orc") are clumsy: "check" is
       really a subset of "orc", so it has all the same options.

       The subcmd model has never really worked for objtool, as it only
       has a single purpose: "do some combination of things on an object
       file".

     - The '--lto' and '--vmlinux' options are nonsensical and have
       surprising behavior.

   Overhaul the interface:

      - get rid of subcmds

      - make all features individually selectable

      - remove and/or clarify confusing/obsolete options

      - update the documentation

      - fix some bugs found along the way

 - Fix x32 regression

 - Fix Kbuild cleanup bugs

 - Add scripts/objdump-func helper script to disassemble a single
   function from an object file.

 - Rewrite scripts/faddr2line to be section-aware, by basing it on
   'readelf', moving it away from 'nm', which doesn't handle multiple
   sections well, which can result in decoding failure.

 - Rewrite &amp; fix symbol handling - which had a number of bugs wrt.
   object files that don't have global symbols - which is rare but
   possible. Also fix a bunch of symbol handling bugs found along the
   way.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:

 - Initial support for the ARMv9 Scalable Matrix Extension (SME).

   SME takes the approach used for vectors in SVE and extends this to
   provide architectural support for matrix operations. No KVM support
   yet, SME is disabled in guests.

 - Support for crashkernel reservations above ZONE_DMA via the
   'crashkernel=X,high' command line option.

 - btrfs search_ioctl() fix for live-lock with sub-page faults.

 - arm64 perf updates: support for the Hisilicon "CPA" PMU for
   monitoring coherent I/O traffic, support for Arm's CMN-650 and
   CMN-700 interconnect PMUs, minor driver fixes, kerneldoc cleanup.

 - Kselftest updates for SME, BTI, MTE.

 - Automatic generation of the system register macros from a 'sysreg'
   file describing the register bitfields.

 - Update the type of the function argument holding the ESR_ELx register
   value to unsigned long to match the architecture register size
   (originally 32-bit but extended since ARMv8.0).

 - stacktrace cleanups.

 - ftrace cleanups.

 - Miscellaneous updates, most notably: arm64-specific huge_ptep_get(),
   avoid executable mappings in kexec/hibernate code, drop TLB flushing
   from get_clear_flush() (and rename it to get_clear_contig()),
   ARCH_NR_GPIO bumped to 2048 for ARCH_APPLE.

<id>aa06530a535ffe8ba8b68054003b6fb262a8ec6f</id>
<content type='text'>
In the previous commit powerpc added PAGE_SIZE related config symbols
using the generic names.

So there's no need to refer to them in the definition of
PAGE_SIZE_LESS_THAN_64KB etc, the negative dependency on the generic
symbol is sufficient (in this case !PAGE_SIZE_64KB).
