find_bit API and bitmap API are closely related, but inclusion paths
are different - include/asm-generic and include/linux, correspondingly.
In the past it made a lot of troubles due to circular dependencies
and/or undefined symbols. Fix this by moving find.h under include/linux.

<title>locking: Allow to include asm/spinlock_types.h from linux/spinlock_types_raw.h</title>

The printk header file includes ratelimit_types.h for its __ratelimit()
based usage. It is required for the static initializer used in
printk_ratelimited(). It uses a raw_spinlock_t and includes the
spinlock_types.h.

PREEMPT_RT substitutes spinlock_t with a rtmutex based implementation and so
its spinlock_t implmentation (provided by spinlock_rt.h) includes rtmutex.h and
atomic.h which leads to recursive includes where defines are missing.

By including only the raw_spinlock_t defines it avoids the atomic.h
related includes at this stage.

The WARN / BUG include pulls in printk.h and then ptrace.h expects WARN
(from bug.h) which is not yet complete. Even hw_irq.h has WARN_ON()
statements.

On POWERPC64 there are missing atomic64 defines while building 32bit

Pull per signal_struct coredumps from Eric Biederman:
 "Current coredumps are mixed up with the exit code, the signal handling
  code, and the ptrace code making coredumps much more complicated than
  necessary and difficult to follow.

  This series of changes starts with ptrace_stop and cleans it up,
  making it easier to follow what is happening in ptrace_stop. Then
  cleans up the exec interactions with coredumps. Then cleans up the
  coredump interactions with exit. Finally the coredump interactions
  with the signal handling code is cleaned up.

  The first and last changes are bug fixes for minor bugs.

  I believe the fact that vfork followed by execve can kill the process
  the called vfork if exec fails is sufficient justification to change
  the userspace visible behavior.

  In previous discussions some of these changes were organized
  differently and individually appeared to make the code base worse. As
  currently written I believe they all stand on their own as cleanups
  and bug fixes.

  Which means that even if the worst should happen and the last change
  needs to be reverted for some unimaginable reason, the code base will
  still be improved.

  If the worst does not happen there are a more cleanups that can be
  made. Signals that generate coredumps can easily become eligible for
  short circuit delivery in complete_signal. The entire rendezvous for
  generating a coredump can move into get_signal. The function
  force_sig_info_to_task be written in a way that does not modify the
  signal handling state of the target task (because coredumps are
  eligible for short circuit delivery). Many of these future cleanups
  can be done another way but nothing so cleanly as if coredumps become
  per signal_struct"

  The first and last changes are bug fixes for minor bugs.

  I believe the fact that vfork followed by execve can kill the process
  the called vfork if exec fails is sufficient justification to change
  the userspace visible behavior.

  In previous discussions some of these changes were organized
  differently and individually appeared to make the code base worse. As
  currently written I believe they all stand on their own as cleanups
  and bug fixes.

  Which means that even if the worst should happen and the last change
  needs to be reverted for some unimaginable reason, the code base will
  still be improved.

  If the worst does not happen there are a more cleanups that can be
  made. Signals that generate coredumps can easily become eligible for
  short circuit delivery in complete_signal. The entire rendezvous for
  generating a coredump can move into get_signal. The function
  force_sig_info_to_task be written in a way that does not modify the
  signal handling state of the target task (because coredumps are
  eligible for short circuit delivery). Many of these future cleanups
  can be done another way but nothing so cleanly as if coredumps become
  per signal_struct"

* 'per_signal_struct_coredumps-for-v5.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
  coredump: Limit coredumps to a single thread group
  coredump:  Don't perform any cleanups before dumping core
  exit: Factor coredump_exit_mm out of exit_mm
  exec: Check for a pending fatal signal instead of core_state
  ptrace: Remove the unnecessary arguments from arch_ptrace_stop
  signal: Remove the bogus sigkill_pending in ptrace_stop

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - kprobes: Restructured stack unwinder to show properly on x86 when a
   stack dump happens from a kretprobe callback.

 - Fix to bootconfig parsing

 - Have tracefs allow owner and group permissions by default (only
   denying others). There's been pressure to allow non root to tracefs
   in a controlled fashion, and using groups is probably the safest.

 - Bootconfig memory managament updates.

 - Bootconfig clean up to have the tools directory be less dependent on
   changes in the kernel tree.

 - Allow perf to be traced by function tracer.

 - Rewrite of function graph tracer to be a callback from the function
   tracer instead of having its own trampoline (this change will happen
   on an arch by arch basis, and currently only x86_64 implements it).

 - Allow multiple direct trampolines (bpf hooks to functions) be batched
   together in one synchronization.

 - Allow histogram triggers to add variables that can perform
   calculations against the event's fields.

 - Use the linker to determine architecture callbacks from the ftrace
   trampoline to allow for proper parameter prototypes and prevent
   warnings from the compiler.

 - Extend histogram triggers to key off of variables.

 - Have trace recursion use bit magic to determine preempt context over
   if branches.

 - Have trace recursion disable preemption as all use cases do anyway.

 - Added testing for verification of tracing utilities.

 - Various small clean ups and fixes.

Pull scheduler updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Revert the printk format based wchan() symbol resolution as it can
   leak the raw value in case that the symbol is not resolvable.

 - Make wchan() more robust and work with all kind of unwinders by
   enforcing that the task stays blocked while unwinding is in progress.

 - Prevent sched_fork() from accessing an invalid sched_task_group

 - Improve asymmetric packing logic

 - Extend scheduler statistics to RT and DL scheduling classes and add
   statistics for bandwith burst to the SCHED_FAIR class.

 - Properly account SCHED_IDLE entities

 - Prevent a potential deadlock when initial priority is assigned to a
   newly created kthread. A recent change to plug a race between cpuset
   and __sched_setscheduler() introduced a new lock dependency which is
   now triggered. Break the lock dependency chain by moving the priority
   assignment to the thread function.

 - Fix the idle time reporting in /proc/uptime for NOHZ enabled systems.

 - Improve idle balancing in general and especially for NOHZ enabled
   systems.

 - Provide proper interfaces for live patching so it does not have to
   fiddle with scheduler internals.

 - Add cluster aware scheduling support.

 - A small set of tweaks for RT (irqwork, wait_task_inactive(), various
   scheduler options and delaying mmdrop)

<title>locking: Remove spin_lock_flags() etc</title>

parisc, ia64 and powerpc32 are the only remaining architectures that
provide custom arch_{spin,read,write}_lock_flags() functions, which are
meant to re-enable interrupts while waiting for a spinlock.

However, none of these can actually run into this codepath, because
it is only called on architectures without CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK,
or when CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is set without CONFIG_LOCKDEP, and none
of those combinations are possible on the three architectures.

Going back in the git history, it appears that arch/mn10300 may have
been able to run into this code path, but there is a good chance that
it never worked. On the architectures that still exist, it was
already impossible to hit back in 2008 after the introduction of
CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and possibly earlier.

As this is all dead code, just remove it and the helper functions built
around it. For arch/ia64, the inline asm could be cleaned up, but
it seems safer to leave it untouched.

Both arch_ptrace_stop_needed and arch_ptrace_stop are called with an
exit_code and a siginfo structure.  Neither argument is used by any of
the implementations so just remove the unneeded arguments.

The two arechitectures that implement arch_ptrace_stop are ia64 and
sparc.  Both architectures flush their register stacks before a
ptrace_stack so that all of the register information can be accessed
by debuggers.

As the question of if a register stack needs to be flushed is
independent of why ptrace is stopping not needing arguments make sense.
