<content type='text'>
When building a kernel without module support, the CONFIG_MLONGCALL option
needs to be enabled in order to reach symbols which are outside of a 22-bit
branch.

This patch changes the autodetection in the Kconfig script to always enable
CONFIG_MLONGCALL when modules are disabled and uses a far call to
preempt_schedule_irq() in intr_do_preempt() to reach the symbol in all cases.

<title>local64.h: make &lt;asm/local64.h&gt; mandatory</title>

Make &lt;asm-generic/local64.h&gt; mandatory in include/asm-generic/Kbuild and
remove all arch/*/include/asm/local64.h arch-specific files since they
only #include &lt;asm-generic/local64.h&gt;.

This fixes build errors on arch/c6x/ and arch/nios2/ for
block/blk-iocost.c.

Build-tested on 21 of 25 arch-es.  (tools problems on the others)

Yes, we could even rename &lt;asm-generic/local64.h&gt; to
&lt;linux/local64.h&gt; and change all #includes to use
&lt;linux/local64.h&gt; instead.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "The major update to this release is that there's a new arch config
  option called CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS.

  Currently, only x86_64 enables it. All the ftrace callbacks now take a
  struct ftrace_regs instead of a struct pt_regs. If the architecture
  has HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS enabled, then the ftrace_regs will
  have enough information to read the arguments of the function being
  traced, as well as access to the stack pointer.

  This way, if a user (like live kernel patching) only cares about the
  arguments, then it can avoid using the heavier weight "regs" callback,
  that puts in enough information in the struct ftrace_regs to simulate
  a breakpoint exception (needed for kprobes).

  A new config option that audits the timestamps of the ftrace ring
  buffer at most every event recorded.

  Ftrace recursion protection has been cleaned up to move the protection
  to the callback itself (this saves on an extra function call for those
  callbacks).

  Perf now handles its own RCU protection and does not depend on ftrace
  to do it for it (saving on that extra function call).

  New debug option to add "recursed_functions" file to tracefs that
  lists all the places that triggered the recursion protection of the
  function tracer. This will show where things need to be fixed as
  recursion slows down the function tracer.

  The eval enum mapping updates done at boot up are now offloaded to a
  work queue, as it caused a noticeable pause on slow embedded boards.

  Various clean ups and last minute fixes"

 "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"

  The other patches fix compile warnings, utilize the Kbuild logic and
