We already need to zero out memory for dma_alloc_coherent(), as such
using dma_zalloc_coherent() is superflous. Phase it out.

This change was generated with the following Coccinelle SmPL patch:

@ replace_dma_zalloc_coherent @
expression dev, size, data, handle, flags;

-dma_zalloc_coherent(dev, size, handle, flags)

Now that Kbuild automatically creates asm-generic wrappers for missing
mandatory headers, it is redundant to list the same headers in
generic-y and mandatory-y.

These comments are leftovers of commit fcc8487d477a ("uapi: export all
headers under uapi directories").

Prior to that commit, exported headers must be explicitly added to
header-y. Now, all headers under the uapi/ directories are exported.

<title>jump_label: move 'asm goto' support test to Kconfig</title>

Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label".

The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined
like this:

  #if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) &amp;&amp; defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL)
  # define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
  #endif

We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then
make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO.

Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will
match to the real kernel capability.

Pull MIPS fixes from Paul Burton:
 "A few early MIPS fixes for 4.21:

   - The Broadcom BCM63xx platform sees a fix for resetting the BCM6368
     ethernet switch, and the removal of a platform device we've never
     had a driver for.

   - The Alchemy platform sees a few fixes for bitrot that occurred
     within the past few cycles.

   - We now enable vectored interrupt support for the MediaTek MT7620
     SoC, which makes sense since they're supported by the SoC but in
     this case also works around a bug relating to the location of
     exception vectors when using a recent version of U-Boot.

   - The atomic64_fetch_*_relaxed() family of functions see a fix for a
     regression in MIPS64 kernels since v4.19.

   - Cavium Octeon III CN7xxx systems will now disable their RGMII
     interfaces rather than attempt to enable them &amp; warn about the lack
     of support for doing so, as they did since initial CN7xxx ethernet
     support was added in v4.7.

   - The Microsemi/Microchip MSCC SoCs gain a MAINTAINERS entry.

   - .mailmap now provides consistency for Dengcheng Zhu's name &amp;
     current email address"

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>MIPS: OCTEON: mark RGMII interface disabled on OCTEON III</title>

Commit 885872b722b7 ("MIPS: Octeon: Add Octeon III CN7xxx
interface detection") added RGMII interface detection for OCTEON III,
but it results in the following logs:

[    7.165984] ERROR: Unsupported Octeon model in __cvmx_helper_rgmii_probe
[    7.173017] ERROR: Unsupported Octeon model in __cvmx_helper_rgmii_probe

The current RGMII routines are valid only for older OCTEONS that
use GMX/ASX hardware blocks. On later chips AGL should be used,
but support for that is missing in the mainline. Until that is added,
mark the interface as disabled.
