Pull clk updates from Stephen Boyd:
 "The core framework has a handful of patches this time around, mostly
  due to the clk rate protection support added by Jerome Brunet.

  This feature will allow consumers to lock in a certain rate on the
  output of a clk so that things like audio playback don't hear pops
  when the clk frequency changes due to shared parent clks changing
  rates. Currently the clk API doesn't guarantee the rate of a clk stays
  at the rate you request after clk_set_rate() is called, so this new
  API will allow drivers to express that requirement.

  Beyond this, the core got some debugfs pretty printing patches and a
  couple minor non-critical fixes.

  Looking outside of the core framework diff we have some new driver
  additions and the removal of a legacy TI clk driver. Both of these hit
  high in the dirstat. Also, the removal of the asm-generic/clkdev.h
  file causes small one-liners in all the architecture Kbuild files.

  Overall, the driver diff seems to be the normal stuff that comes all
  the time to fix little problems here and there and to support new
  hardware.

  Summary:

  Core:
   - Clk rate protection
   - Symbolic clk flags in debugfs output
   - Clk registration enabled clks while doing bookkeeping updates

  New Drivers:
   - Spreadtrum SC9860
   - HiSilicon hi3660 stub
   - Qualcomm A53 PLL, SPMI clkdiv, and MSM8916 APCS
   - Amlogic Meson-AXG
   - ASPEED BMC

  Removed Drivers:
   - TI OMAP 3xxx legacy clk (non-DT) support
   - asm*/clkdev.h got removed (not really a driver)

  Updates:
   - Renesas FDP1-0 module clock on R-Car M3-W
   - Renesas LVDS module clock on R-Car V3M
   - Misc fixes to pr_err() prints
   - Qualcomm MSM8916 audio fixes
   - Qualcomm IPQ8074 rounded out support for more peripherals
   - Qualcomm Alpha PLL variants
   - Divider code was using container_of() on bad pointers
   - Allwinner DE2 clks on H3
   - Amlogic minor data fixes and dropping of CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED
   - Mediatek clk driver compile test support
   - AT91 PMC clk suspend/resume restoration support
   - PLL issues fixed on si5351
   - Broadcom IProc PLL calculation updates
   - DVFS support for Armada mvebu CPU clks
   - Allwinner fixed post-divider support
   - TI clkctrl fixes and support for newer SoCs"

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Add a console_msg_format command line option:

     The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The
     value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "&lt;log
     level&gt;[timestamp] text" format.

     This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for
     example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs
     at hands.

 - Reduce the risk of softlockup:

     Pass the console owner in a busy loop.

     This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by
     Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which
     the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep.
     On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use
     a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the
     console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of
     the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the
     waiter.

     The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations.
     Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example,
     when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too
     much to flush.

     There is increasing number of people having problems with
     printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better
     solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising
     direction.

 - Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk():

     This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped
     to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output.
     This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described
     above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective.

 - Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier:

     It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function
     descriptors and show the real function address. It is done
     transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now.

     Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in
     a special elf section and could be easily detected.

 - Remove printk_symbol() API:

     It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change
     helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API.

 - Remove redundant memsets:

     Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg
     command line option.

<title>Construct init thread stack in the linker script rather than by union</title>

Construct the init thread stack in the linker script rather than doing it
by means of a union so that ia64's init_task.c can be got rid of.

The following symbols are then made available from INIT_TASK_DATA() linker
script macro:

	init_thread_union
	init_stack

INIT_TASK_DATA() also expands the region to THREAD_SIZE to accommodate the
size of the init stack.  init_thread_union is given its own section so that
it can be placed into the stack space in the right order.  I'm assuming
that the ia64 ordering is correct and that the task_struct is first and the
thread_info second.

print_symbol() is a very old API that has been obsoleted by %pS format
specifier in a normal printk() call.

Replace print_symbol() with a direct printk("%pS") call and avoid
using continuous lines.

<title>bpf: correct broken uapi for BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT program type</title>

Commit 0515e5999a466dfe ("bpf: introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT
program type") introduced the bpf_perf_event_data structure which
exports the pt_regs structure.  This is OK for multiple architectures
but fail for s390 and arm64 which do not export pt_regs.  Programs
using them, for example, the bpf selftest fail to compile on these
architectures.

For s390, exporting the pt_regs is not an option because s390 wants
to allow changes to it.  For arm64, there is a user_pt_regs structure
that covers parts of the pt_regs structure for use by user space.

To solve the broken uapi for s390 and arm64, introduce an abstract
type for pt_regs and add an asm/bpf_perf_event.h file that concretes
the type.  An asm-generic header file covers the architectures that
export pt_regs today.

The arch-specific enablement for s390 and arm64 follows in separate
commits.

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:
 "One of the most remarkable improvements in this cycle is, Kbuild is
  now able to cache the result of shell commands. Some variables are
  expensive to compute, for example, $(call cc-option,...) invokes the
  compiler. It is not efficient to redo this computation every time,
  even when we are not actually building anything. Kbuild creates a
  hidden file ".cache.mk" that contains invoked shell commands and their
  results. The speed-up should be noticeable.

  Summary:

   - Fix arch build issues (hexagon, sh)

   - Clean up various Makefiles and scripts

   - Fix wrong usage of {CFLAGS,LDFLAGS}_MODULE in arch Makefiles

   - Cache variables that are expensive to compute

   - Code clean-up of overlay code and fixing for some long standing
     memory leak and race condition in applying overlays

   - Improvements to DT memory usage making sysfs/kobjects optional and
     skipping unflattening of disabled nodes. This is part of kernel

   - Final piece of removing storing the full path for every DT node.
     The prerequisite conversion of printk's to use device_node format
     specifier happened in 4.14.

   - Sync with current upstream dtc. This brings additional checks to
     dtb compiling.

   - Binding doc tree wide removal of leading 0s from examples

   - RTC binding documentation adding missing devices and some
     consolidation of duplicated bindings

   - Vendor prefix documentation for nutsboard, Silicon Storage
     Technology, shimafuji, Tecon Microprocessor Technologies, DH
     electronics GmbH, Opal Kelly, and Next Thing"

We need to add "clean-files" in Makfiles to clean up DT blobs, but we
often miss to do so.

Since there are no source files that end with .dtb or .dtb.S, so we
can clean-up those files from the top-level Makefile.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a license</title>

<id>e2be04c7f9958dde770eeb8b30e829ca969b37bb</id>
<content type='text'>
Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be.  This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.

Update these files with an SPDX license identifier.  The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.

GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:

   NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
   services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
   of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.

Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier.  The format
is:
        ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)

SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text.  The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.  See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.
