walk_page_range() and friends often operate under write-locked mmap_lock. 
With introduction of vma locks, the vmas have to be locked as well during
such walks to prevent concurrent page faults in these areas.  Add an
additional member to mm_walk_ops to indicate locking requirements for the
walk.

The change ensures that page walks which prevent concurrent page faults
by write-locking mmap_lock, operate correctly after introduction of
per-vma locks.  With per-vma locks page faults can be handled under vma
lock without taking mmap_lock at all, so write locking mmap_lock would
not stop them.  The change ensures vmas are properly locked during such
walks.

A sample issue this solves is do_mbind() performing queue_pages_range()
to queue pages for migration.  Without this change a concurrent page
can be faulted into the area and be left out of migration.

<title>locking: remove spin_lock_prefetch</title>

The only remaining consumer is new_inode, where it showed up in 2001 as
commit c37fa164f793 ("v2.4.9.9 -&gt; v2.4.9.10") in a historical repo [1]
with a changelog which does not mention it.

Since then the line got only touched up to keep compiling.

While it may have been of benefit back in the day, it is guaranteed to
at best not get in the way in the multicore setting -- as the code
performs *a lot* of work between the prefetch and actual lock acquire,
any contention means the cacheline is already invalid by the time the
routine calls spin_lock().  It adds spurious traffic, for short.

On top of it prefetch is notoriously tricky to use for single-threaded
purposes, making it questionable from the get go.

As such, remove it.

I admit upfront I did not see value in benchmarking this change, but I
can do it if that is deemed appropriate.

Removal from new_inode and of the entire thing are in the same patch as
requested by Linus, so whatever weird looks can be directed at that guy.

<title>word-at-a-time: use the same return type for has_zero regardless of endianness</title>

Compiling big-endian targets with Clang produces the diagnostic:

  fs/namei.c:2173:13: warning: use of bitwise '|' with boolean operands [-Wbitwise-instead-of-logical]
	} while (!(has_zero(a, &amp;adata, &amp;constants) | has_zero(b, &amp;bdata, &amp;constants)));
	          ~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                                               ||
  fs/namei.c:2173:13: note: cast one or both operands to int to silence this warning

It appears that when has_zero was introduced, two definitions were
produced with different signatures (in particular different return
types).

Looking at the usage in hash_name() in fs/namei.c, I suspect that
has_zero() is meant to be invoked twice per while loop iteration; using
logical-or would not update `bdata` when `a` did not have zeros.  So I
think it's preferred to always return an unsigned long rather than a
bool than update the while loop in hash_name() to use a logical-or
rather than bitwise-or.

[ Also changed powerpc version to do the same  - Linus ]

Compiling big-endian targets with Clang produces the diagnostic:

  fs/namei.c:2173:13: warning: use of bitwise '|' with boolean operands [-Wbitwise-instead-of-logical]
	} while (!(has_zero(a, &amp;adata, &amp;constants) | has_zero(b, &amp;bdata, &amp;constants)));
	          ~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                                               ||
  fs/namei.c:2173:13: note: cast one or both operands to int to silence this warning

It appears that when has_zero was introduced, two definitions were
produced with different signatures (in particular different return
types).

Looking at the usage in hash_name() in fs/namei.c, I suspect that
has_zero() is meant to be invoked twice per while loop iteration; using
logical-or would not update `bdata` when `a` did not have zeros.  So I
think it's preferred to always return an unsigned long rather than a
bool than update the while loop in hash_name() to use a logical-or
rather than bitwise-or.

[ Also changed powerpc version to do the same  - Linus ]

<title>powerpc/powermac: Use early_* IO variants in via_calibrate_decr()</title>

<id>86582e6189dd8f9f52c25d46c70fe5d111da6345</id>
<content type='text'>
On a powermac platform, via the call path:

  start_kernel()
    time_init()
      ppc_md.calibrate_decr() (pmac_calibrate_decr)
        via_calibrate_decr()

ioremap() and iounmap() are called. The unmap can enable interrupts
unexpectedly (cond_resched() in vunmap_pmd_range()), which causes a
warning later in the boot sequence in start_kernel().

Use the early_* variants of these IO functions to prevent this.

The issue is pre-existing, but is surfaced by commit 721255b9826b
("genirq: Use a maple tree for interrupt descriptor management").

<title>powerpc/64e: Fix secondary thread bringup for ELFv2 kernels</title>

When booting on e6500 with an ELF v2 ABI kernel, the secondary threads do
not start correctly:

    [    0.051118] smp: Bringing up secondary CPUs ...
    [    5.072700] Processor 1 is stuck.

This occurs because the startup code is written to use function
descriptors when loading the entry point for the secondary threads. When
building with ELF v2 ABI there are no function descriptors, and the code
loads junk values for the entry point address.

Fix it by using ppc_function_entry() in C, and DOTSYM() in asm, both of
which work correctly for ELF v2 ABI as well as ELF v1 ABI kernels.

<title>arch/*/configs/*defconfig: Replace AUTOFS4_FS by AUTOFS_FS</title>

Commit a2225d931f75 ("autofs: remove left-over autofs4 stubs")
promised the removal of the fs/autofs/Kconfig fragment for AUTOFS4_FS
within a couple of releases, but five years later this still has not
happened yet, and AUTOFS4_FS is still enabled in 63 defconfigs.

Get rid of it mechanically:

   git grep -l CONFIG_AUTOFS4_FS -- '*defconfig' |
       xargs sed -i 's/AUTOFS4_FS/AUTOFS_FS/'

Also just remove the AUTOFS4_FS config option stub.  Anybody who hasn't
regenerated their config file in the last five years will need to just
get the new name right when they do.
