Pull asm-generic cleanups from Arnd Bergmann:
 "A series from Baoquan He cleans up the asm-generic/io.h to remove the
  ioremap_uc() definition from everything except x86, which still needs
  it for pre-PAT systems. This series notably contains a patch from
  Jiaxun Yang that converts MIPS to use asm-generic/io.h like every
  other architecture does, enabling future cleanups.

  Some of my own patches fix -Wmissing-prototype warnings in
  architecture specific code across several architectures. This is now
  needed as the warning is enabled by default. There are still some
  remaining warnings in minor platforms, but the series should catch
  most of the widely used ones make them more consistent with one
  another.

  David McKay fixes a bug in __generic_cmpxchg_local() when this is used
  on 64-bit architectures. This could currently only affect parisc64 and
  sparc64.

  Additional cleanups address from Linus Walleij, Uwe Kleine-König,
  Thomas Huth, and Kefeng Wang help reduce unnecessary inconsistencies
  between architectures"

commit 23baf831a32c ("mm, treewide: redefine MAX_ORDER sanely") has
changed the definition of MAX_ORDER to be inclusive.  This has caused
issues with code that was not yet upstream and depended on the previous
definition.

To draw attention to the altered meaning of the define, rename MAX_ORDER
to MAX_PAGE_ORDER.

<id>7a92fc8b4d20680e4c20289a670d8fca2d1f2c1b</id>
<content type='text'>
The pcpu setup when using the page allocator sets up a new vmalloc
mapping very early in the boot process, so early that it cannot use the
flush_cache_vmap() function which may depend on structures not yet
initialized (for example in riscv, we currently send an IPI to flush
other cpus TLB).

But on some architectures, we must call flush_cache_vmap(): for example,
in riscv, some uarchs can cache invalid TLB entries so we need to flush
the new established mapping to avoid taking an exception.

So fix this by introducing a new function flush_cache_vmap_early() which
is called right after setting the new page table entry and before
accessing this new mapping. This new function implements a local flush
tlb on riscv and is no-op for other architectures (same as today).

do_page_fault() is missing a declaration on a couple of architectures:

arch/alpha/mm/fault.c:85:1: error: no previous prototype for 'do_page_fault' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/csky/mm/fault.c:187:17: error: no previous prototype for 'do_page_fault' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]

arch/sh/mm/fault.c:389:27: error: no previous prototype for 'do_page_fault' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]

Since the calling conventions are architecture specific here,
add separate prototypes for each one.

A number of architectures either kept the screen_info definition for
historical purposes as it used to be required by the generic VT code, or
they copied it from another architecture in order to build the VGA console
driver in an allmodconfig build. The mips definition is used by some
platforms, but the initialization on jazz is not needed.

Now that vgacon no longer builds on these architectures, remove the
stale definitions and initializations.

Pull x86 shadow stack support from Dave Hansen:
 "This is the long awaited x86 shadow stack support, part of Intel's
  Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET).

  CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and
  indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack
  part of this feature, and just for userspace.

  The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against
  return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a
  secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has
  protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction,
  the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and
  to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops
  the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.

  For more information, refer to the links below for the earlier
  versions of this patch set"

<title>nios2: fix flush_dcache_page() for usage from irq context</title>

<content type='text'>
Since at least kernel 6.1, flush_dcache_page() is called with IRQs
disabled, e.g.  from aio_complete().

But the current implementation for flush_dcache_page() on NIOS2
unintentionally re-enables IRQs, which may lead to deadlocks.

Fix it by using xa_lock_irqsave() and xa_unlock_irqrestore() for the
flush_dcache_mmap_*lock() macros instead.

Move the default (no-op) implementation of flush_icache_pages() to
&lt;linux/cacheflush.h&gt; from &lt;asm-generic/cacheflush.h&gt;.  Remove the
flush_icache_page() wrapper from each architecture into
&lt;linux/cacheflush.h&gt;.
