<title>csky/tlb: Remove tlb_flush() define</title>

The previous patch removed the tlb_flush_end() implementation which
used tlb_flush_range(). This means:

 - csky did double invalidates, a range invalidate per vma and a full
   invalidate at the end

 - csky actually has range invalidates and as such the generic
   tlb_flush implementation is more efficient for it.

<title>mmu_gather: Remove per arch tlb_{start,end}_vma()</title>

<id>1e9fdf21a4339b102539f476a9842e7526c01939</id>
<content type='text'>
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 MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Almost all of MM here. A few things are still getting finished off,
  reviewed, etc.

   - Yang Shi has improved the behaviour of khugepaged collapsing of
     readonly file-backed transparent hugepages.

   - Johannes Weiner has arranged for zswap memory use to be tracked and
     managed on a per-cgroup basis.

   - Munchun Song adds a /proc knob ("hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap") for
     runtime enablement of the recent huge page vmemmap optimization
     feature.

   - Baolin Wang contributes a series to fix some issues around hugetlb
     pagetable invalidation.

   - Zhenwei Pi has fixed some interactions between hwpoisoned pages and
     virtualization.

   - Tong Tiangen has enabled the use of the presently x86-only
     page_table_check debugging feature on arm64 and riscv.

   - David Vernet has done some fixup work on the memcg selftests.

   - Peter Xu has taught userfaultfd to handle write protection faults
     against shmem- and hugetlbfs-backed files.

   - More DAMON development from SeongJae Park - adding online tuning of
     the feature and support for monitoring of fixed virtual address
     ranges. Also easier discovery of which monitoring operations are
     available.

   - Nadav Amit has done some optimization of TLB flushing during
     mprotect().

   - Neil Brown continues to labor away at improving our swap-over-NFS
     support.

   - David Hildenbrand has some fixes to anon page COWing versus
     get_user_pages().

   - Peng Liu fixed some errors in the core hugetlb code.

   - Joao Martins has reduced the amount of memory consumed by
     device-dax's compound devmaps.

   - Some cleanups of the arch-specific pagemap code from Anshuman
     Khandual.

   - Muchun Song has found and fixed some errors in the TLB flushing of
     transparent hugepages.

   - Roman Gushchin has done more work on the memcg selftests.

  ... and, of course, many smaller fixes and cleanups. Notably, the
  customary million cleanup serieses from Miaohe Lin"

     most architectures with a working cmpxchg or ll/sc type atomic,
     including the conversion of riscv, csky and openrisc. This series
     is also a prerequisite for the loongarch64 architecture port that

<title>printk: stop including cache.h from printk.h</title>

<id>534aa1dc975ac883ad89110534585a96630802a0</id>
<content type='text'>
An inclusion of cache.h in printk.h was added in 2014 in commit
c28aa1f0a847 ("printk/cache: mark printk_once test variable
__read_mostly") in order to bring in the definition of __read_mostly.  The
usage of __read_mostly was later removed in commit 3ec25826ae33 ("printk:
Tie printk_once / printk_deferred_once into .data.once for reset") which
made the inclusion of cache.h unnecessary, so remove it.

We have a small amount of code that depended on the inclusion of cache.h
from printk.h; fix that code to include the appropriate header.

This fixes a circular inclusion on arm64 (linux/printk.h -&gt; linux/cache.h
-&gt; asm/cache.h -&gt; linux/kasan-enabled.h -&gt; linux/static_key.h -&gt;
linux/jump_label.h -&gt; linux/bug.h -&gt; asm/bug.h -&gt; linux/printk.h) that
would otherwise be introduced by the next patch.

Build tested using {allyesconfig,defconfig} x {arm64,x86_64}.

Add conditional atomic operations' optimization:
 - arch_atomic_fetch_add_unless
 - arch_atomic_inc_unless_negative
 - arch_atomic_dec_unless_positive
 - arch_atomic_dec_if_positive

Comments by Boqun:

FWIW, you probably need to make sure that a barrier instruction inside
an lr/sc loop is a good thing. IIUC, the execution time of a barrier
instruction is determined by the status of store buffers and invalidate
queues (and probably other stuffs), so it may increase the execution
time of the lr/sc loop, and make it unlikely to succeed. But this really
depends on how the arch executes these instructions.

The generic atomic.h used cmpxchg to implement the atomic
operations, it will cause daul loop to reduce the forward
guarantee. The patch implement csky custom atomic operations with
ldex/stex instructions for the best performance.

Optimize cmpxchg with ASM acquire/release fence ASM instructions
instead of previous generic based. Prevent a fence when cmxchg's
first load != old.

Optimize memcpy_{from,to}io() and memset_io() by transferring in
64 bit as much as possible with minimized barrier usage.  This
simplest optimization brings faster throughput compare to current
byte-by-byte read and write with barrier in the loop. Code's
skeleton is taken from the powerpc &amp; arm64.
