Pull TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This sits on top of of the core entry/exit and x86 entry branch from
  the tip tree, which contains the generic and x86 parts of this work.

  Here we convert the rest of the archs to support TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL.

  With that done, we can get rid of JOBCTL_TASK_WORK from task_work and
  signal.c, and also remove a deadlock work-around in io_uring around
  knowing that signal based task_work waking is invoked with the sighand
  wait queue head lock.

  The motivation for this work is to decouple signal notify based
  task_work, of which io_uring is a heavy user of, from sighand. The
  sighand lock becomes a huge contention point, particularly for
  threaded workloads where it's shared between threads. Even outside of
  threaded applications it's slower than it needs to be.

  Roman Gershman &lt;romger@amazon.com&gt; reported that his networked
  workload dropped from 1.6M QPS at 80% CPU to 1.0M QPS at 100% CPU
  after io_uring was changed to use TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL. The time was all
  spent hammering on the sighand lock, showing 57% of the CPU time there
  [1].

  There are further cleanups possible on top of this. One example is
  TIF_PATCH_PENDING, where a patch already exists to use
  TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL instead. Hopefully this will also lead to more
  consolidation, but the work stands on its own as well"

<title>unify generic instances of csum_partial_copy_nocheck()</title>

<content type='text'>
quite a few architectures have the same csum_partial_copy_nocheck() -
simply memcpy() the data and then return the csum of the copy.

hexagon, parisc, ia64, s390, um: explicitly spelled out that way.

arc, arm64, csky, h8300, m68k/nommu, microblaze, mips/GENERIC_CSUM, nds32,
nios2, openrisc, riscv, unicore32: end up picking the same thing spelled
out in lib/checksum.h (with varying amounts of perversions along the way).

everybody else (alpha, arm, c6x, m68k/mmu, mips/!GENERIC_CSUM, powerpc,
sh, sparc, x86, xtensa) have non-generic variants.  For all except c6x
the declaration is in their asm/checksum.h.  c6x uses the wrapper
from asm-generic/checksum.h that would normally lead to the lib/checksum.h
instance, but in case of c6x we end up using an asm function from arch/c6x
instead.

Screw that mess - have architectures with private instances define
_HAVE_ARCH_CSUM_AND_COPY in their asm/checksum.h and have the default
one right in net/checksum.h conditional on _HAVE_ARCH_CSUM_AND_COPY
*not* defined.

<title>mm: consolidate pte_index() and pte_offset_*() definitions</title>

<id>974b9b2c68f3d35a65e80af9657fe378d2439b60</id>
<content type='text'>
All architectures define pte_index() as

	(address &gt;&gt; PAGE_SHIFT) &amp; (PTRS_PER_PTE - 1)

and all architectures define pte_offset_kernel() as an entry in the array
of PTEs indexed by the pte_index().

For the most architectures the pte_offset_kernel() implementation relies
on the availability of pmd_page_vaddr() that converts a PMD entry value to
the virtual address of the page containing PTEs array.

Let's move x86 definitions of the PTE accessors to the generic place in
&lt;linux/pgtable.h&gt; and then simply drop the respective definitions from the
other architectures.

The architectures that didn't provide pmd_page_vaddr() are updated to have
that defined.

The generic implementation of pte_offset_kernel() can be overridden by an
architecture and alpha makes use of this because it has special ordering
requirements for its version of pte_offset_kernel().

All architectures define pte_index() as

	(address &gt;&gt; PAGE_SHIFT) &amp; (PTRS_PER_PTE - 1)

and all architectures define pte_offset_kernel() as an entry in the array
of PTEs indexed by the pte_index().

For the most architectures the pte_offset_kernel() implementation relies
on the availability of pmd_page_vaddr() that converts a PMD entry value to
the virtual address of the page containing PTEs array.

Let's move x86 definitions of the PTE accessors to the generic place in
&lt;linux/pgtable.h&gt; and then simply drop the respective definitions from the
other architectures.

The architectures that didn't provide pmd_page_vaddr() are updated to have
that defined.

The generic implementation of pte_offset_kernel() can be overridden by an
architecture and alpha makes use of this because it has special ordering
requirements for its version of pte_offset_kernel().

The include/linux/pgtable.h is going to be the home of generic page table
manipulation functions.

Start with moving asm-generic/pgtable.h to include/linux/pgtable.h and
make the latter include asm/pgtable.h.
