Patch series "Add support for fast mremap".

This series speeds up the mremap(2) syscall by copying page tables at
the PMD level even for non-THP systems.  There is concern that the extra
'address' argument that mremap passes to pte_alloc may do something
subtle architecture related in the future that may make the scheme not
work.  Also we find that there is no point in passing the 'address' to
pte_alloc since its unused.  This patch therefore removes this argument
tree-wide resulting in a nice negative diff as well.  Also ensuring
along the way that the enabled architectures do not do anything funky
with the 'address' argument that goes unnoticed by the optimization.

Build and boot tested on x86-64.  Build tested on arm64.  The config
enablement patch for arm64 will be posted in the future after more
testing.

The changes were obtained by applying the following Coccinelle script.
(thanks Julia for answering all Coccinelle questions!).
Following fix ups were done manually:
* Removal of address argument from  pte_fragment_alloc
* Removal of pte_alloc_one_fast definitions from m68k and microblaze.

// Options: --include-headers --no-includes
// Note: I split the 'identifier fn' line, so if you are manually
// running it, please unsplit it so it runs for you.

When testing in userspace, UBSAN pointed out that shifting into the sign
bit is undefined behaviour.  It doesn't really make sense to ask for the
highest set bit of a negative value, so just turn the argument type into
an unsigned int.

Some architectures (eg ppc) already had it declared as an unsigned int,
so I don't expect too many problems.

<title>Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function</title>

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

<title>ARC: io.h: Implement reads{x}()/writes{x}()</title>

Some ARC CPU's do not support unaligned loads/stores. Currently, generic
implementation of reads{b/w/l}()/writes{b/w/l}() is being used with ARC.
This can lead to misfunction of some drivers as generic functions do a
plain dereference of a pointer that can be unaligned.

Let's use {get/put}_unaligned() helpers instead of plain dereference of
pointer in order to fix. The helpers allow to get and store data from an
unaligned address whilst preserving the CPU internal alignment.
According to [1], the use of these helpers are costly in terms of
performance so we added an initial check for a buffer already aligned so
that the usage of the helpers can be avoided, when possible.

<title>ARC: IOC: panic if kernel was started with previously enabled IOC</title>

If IOC was already enabled (due to bootloader) it technically needs to
be reconfigured with aperture base,size corresponding to Linux memory map
which will certainly be different than uboot's. But disabling and
reenabling IOC when DMA might be potentially active is tricky business.
To avoid random memory issues later, just panic here and ask user to
upgrade bootloader to one which doesn't enable IOC

This was actually seen as issue on some of the HSDK board with a version
of uboot which enabled IOC. There were random issues later with starting
of X or peripherals etc.

Also while I'm at it, replace hardcoded bits in ARC_REG_IO_COH_PARTIAL
and ARC_REG_IO_COH_ENABLE registers by definitions.

Prefer _THIS_IP_ defined in linux/kernel.h.

Most definitions of current_text_addr were the same as _THIS_IP_, but
a few archs had inline assembly instead.

This patch removes the final call site of current_text_addr, making all
of the definitions dead code.

Prefer _THIS_IP_ defined in linux/kernel.h.

Most definitions of current_text_addr were the same as _THIS_IP_, but
a few archs had inline assembly instead.

This patch removes the final call site of current_text_addr, making all
of the definitions dead code.

<title>ARC: dma [IOC] Enable per device io coherency</title>

<id>2820a708d5a321342bef34e459fdc8679c30e20f</id>
<content type='text'>
So far the IOC treatment was global on ARC, being turned on (or off)
for all devices in the system. With this patch, this can now be done
per device using the "dma-coherent" DT property; IOW with this patch
we can use both HW-coherent and regular DMA peripherals simultaneously.

The changes involved are too many so enlisting the summary below:

1. common code calls ARC arch_setup_dma_ops() per device.

2. For coherent dma (IOC) it plugs in generic @dma_direct_ops which
   doesn't need any arch specific backend: No need for any explicit
   cache flushes or MMU mappings to provide for uncached access

   - dma_(map|sync)_single* return early as corresponding dma ops callbacks
     are NULL in generic code.
     So arch_sync_dma_*() -&gt; dma_cache_*() need not handle the coherent
     dma case, hence drop ARC __dma_cache_*_ioc() which were no-op anyways

3. For noncoherent dma (non IOC) generic @dma_noncoherent_ops is used
   which in turns calls ARC specific routines

   - arch_dma_alloc() no longer checks for @ioc_enable since this is
     called only for !IOC case.

He bisected to 84c6591103db ("locking/atomics,
asm-generic/bitops/lock.h: Rewrite using atomic_fetch_*()")

This commit however only unmasked the real issue introduced by commit
4aef66c8ae9 ("locking/atomic, arch/arc: Fix build") which missed the
retry-if-scond-failed branch in atomic_fetch_##op() macros.

The bisected commit started using atomic_fetch_##op() macros for building
the rest of atomics.
