<title>riscv/barrier: Define __smp_{mb,rmb,wmb}</title>

Introduce __smp_{mb,rmb,wmb}, and rely on the generic definitions
for smp_{mb,rmb,wmb}. A first consequence is that smp_{mb,rmb,wmb}
map to a compiler barrier on !SMP (while their definition remains
unchanged on SMP). As a further consequence, smp_load_acquire and
smp_store_release have "fence rw,rw" instead of "fence iorw,iorw".

Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:
 "This contains the fixes we'd like to target for the 4.16 merge window.
  It's not as much as I was originally hoping to do but between glibc,
  the chip, and FOSDEM there just wasn't enough time to get everything
  put together. As such, this merge window is essentially just going to
  be small changes. This includes mostly cleanups:

   - A build fix failure to the audit test cases.

     RISC-V doesn't have renameat because the generic syscall ABI moved
     to renameat2 by the time of our port. The syscall audit test cases
     don't understand this, so I added a trivial fix. This went through
     mailing list review during the 4.15 merge window, but nobody has
     picked it up so I think it's best to just do this here.

   - The removal of our command-line argument processing code. The
     "mem_end" stuff was broken and the rest duplicated generic device
     tree code. The generic code was already being called.

   - Some unused/redundant code has been removed, including
     __ARCH_HAVE_MMU, current_pgdir, and the initialization of
     init_mm.pgd.

   - SUM is disabled upon taking a trap, which means that user memory is
     protected during traps taking inside copy_{to,from}_user().

   - The sptbr CSR has been renamed to satp in C code. We haven't
     changed the assembly code in order to maintain compatibility with
     binutils 2.29, which doesn't understand the new name.

  Additionally, we're adding some new features:

   - Basic ftrace support, thanks to Alan Kao!

   - Support for ZONE_DMA32.

     This is necessary for all the normal reasons, but also to deal with
     a deficiency in the Xilinx PCIe controller we're using on our
     FPGA-based systems. While the ZONE_DMA32 addition should be
     sufficient for most uses, it doesn't complete the fix for the
     Xilinx controller.

   - TLB shootdowns now only target the harts where they're necessary,
     instead of applying to all harts in the system.

  These patches have all been sitting on our linux-next branch for a
  while now. Due to time constraints this is all I feel comfortable
  submitting during the 4.16 merge window, hopefully we'll do better
  next time!"

[ Note to self: "harts" is RISC-V speak for "hardware threads".  I had
  to look that up.    - Linus ]

Pull clk updates from Stephen Boyd:
 "The core framework has a handful of patches this time around, mostly
  due to the clk rate protection support added by Jerome Brunet.

  This feature will allow consumers to lock in a certain rate on the
  output of a clk so that things like audio playback don't hear pops
  when the clk frequency changes due to shared parent clks changing
  rates. Currently the clk API doesn't guarantee the rate of a clk stays
  at the rate you request after clk_set_rate() is called, so this new
  API will allow drivers to express that requirement.

  Beyond this, the core got some debugfs pretty printing patches and a
  couple minor non-critical fixes.

  Looking outside of the core framework diff we have some new driver
  additions and the removal of a legacy TI clk driver. Both of these hit
  high in the dirstat. Also, the removal of the asm-generic/clkdev.h
  file causes small one-liners in all the architecture Kbuild files.

  Overall, the driver diff seems to be the normal stuff that comes all
  the time to fix little problems here and there and to support new
  hardware.

  Summary:

  Core:
   - Clk rate protection
   - Symbolic clk flags in debugfs output
   - Clk registration enabled clks while doing bookkeeping updates

  New Drivers:
   - Spreadtrum SC9860
   - HiSilicon hi3660 stub
   - Qualcomm A53 PLL, SPMI clkdiv, and MSM8916 APCS
   - Amlogic Meson-AXG
   - ASPEED BMC

  Removed Drivers:
   - TI OMAP 3xxx legacy clk (non-DT) support
   - asm*/clkdev.h got removed (not really a driver)

  Updates:
   - Renesas FDP1-0 module clock on R-Car M3-W
   - Renesas LVDS module clock on R-Car V3M
   - Misc fixes to pr_err() prints
   - Qualcomm MSM8916 audio fixes
   - Qualcomm IPQ8074 rounded out support for more peripherals
   - Qualcomm Alpha PLL variants
   - Divider code was using container_of() on bad pointers
   - Allwinner DE2 clks on H3
   - Amlogic minor data fixes and dropping of CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED
   - Mediatek clk driver compile test support
   - AT91 PMC clk suspend/resume restoration support
   - PLL issues fixed on si5351
   - Broadcom IProc PLL calculation updates
   - DVFS support for Armada mvebu CPU clks
   - Allwinner fixed post-divider support
   - TI clkctrl fixes and support for newer SoCs"

satp is the name used by the current privileged spec 1.10, use it
instead of the old name.  The most recent release binutils release
(2.29) doesn't know about the satp name yet, so stick to the name from
the previous privileged ISA release and comment on the fact.

RISC-V systems perform TLB shootdows via the SBI, which currently
performs an IPI to each of the remote harts which then performs a local
TLB flush.  This process is a bit on the slow side, but we can at least
speed it up for some common cases by restricting the set of harts to
shoot down to the actual set of harts that are currently participating
in the given mm context, as opposed to the entire system.

This should provide a measurable performance increase, but we haven't
measured it.  Regardless, it seems like obviously the right thing to do
here.

The __ARCH_HAVE_MMU define is (and was) used nowhere in the tree and
also doesn't appear to be used by any libc.

This patch contains basic ftrace support for RV64I platform.
Specifically, function tracer (HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACER), function graph
tracer (HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER), and a frame pointer test
(HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FP_TEST) are implemented following the
instructions in Documentation/trace/ftrace-design.txt.

Note that the functions in both ftrace.c and setup.c should not be
hooked with the compiler's -pg option: to prevent infinite self-
referencing for the former, and to ignore early setup stuff for the
latter.
