Scattered across the archs are 3 basic forms of tlb_{start,end}_vma().
Provide two new MMU_GATHER_knobs to enumerate them and remove the per
arch tlb_{start,end}_vma() implementations.

 - MMU_GATHER_NO_FLUSH_CACHE indicates the arch has flush_cache_range()
   but does *NOT* want to call it for each VMA.

 - MMU_GATHER_MERGE_VMAS indicates the arch wants to merge the
   invalidate across multiple VMAs if possible.

With these it is possible to capture the three forms:

  1) empty stubs;
     select MMU_GATHER_NO_FLUSH_CACHE and MMU_GATHER_MERGE_VMAS

  2) start: flush_cache_range(), end: empty;
     select MMU_GATHER_MERGE_VMAS

  3) start: flush_cache_range(), end: flush_tlb_range();
     default

Obviously, if the architecture does not have flush_cache_range() then
it also doesn't need to select MMU_GATHER_NO_FLUSH_CACHE.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Almost all of MM here. A few things are still getting finished off,
  reviewed, etc.

   - Yang Shi has improved the behaviour of khugepaged collapsing of
     readonly file-backed transparent hugepages.

   - Johannes Weiner has arranged for zswap memory use to be tracked and
     managed on a per-cgroup basis.

   - Munchun Song adds a /proc knob ("hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap") for
     runtime enablement of the recent huge page vmemmap optimization
     feature.

   - Baolin Wang contributes a series to fix some issues around hugetlb
     pagetable invalidation.

   - Zhenwei Pi has fixed some interactions between hwpoisoned pages and
     virtualization.

   - Tong Tiangen has enabled the use of the presently x86-only
     page_table_check debugging feature on arm64 and riscv.

   - David Vernet has done some fixup work on the memcg selftests.

   - Peter Xu has taught userfaultfd to handle write protection faults
     against shmem- and hugetlbfs-backed files.

   - More DAMON development from SeongJae Park - adding online tuning of
     the feature and support for monitoring of fixed virtual address
     ranges. Also easier discovery of which monitoring operations are
     available.

   - Nadav Amit has done some optimization of TLB flushing during
     mprotect().

   - Neil Brown continues to labor away at improving our swap-over-NFS
     support.

   - David Hildenbrand has some fixes to anon page COWing versus
     get_user_pages().

   - Peng Liu fixed some errors in the core hugetlb code.

   - Joao Martins has reduced the amount of memory consumed by
     device-dax's compound devmaps.

   - Some cleanups of the arch-specific pagemap code from Anshuman
     Khandual.

   - Muchun Song has found and fixed some errors in the TLB flushing of
     transparent hugepages.

   - Roman Gushchin has done more work on the memcg selftests.

  ... and, of course, many smaller fixes and cleanups. Notably, the
  customary million cleanup serieses from Miaohe Lin"

Patch series "Fix CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb issue when unmapping or migrating", v4.

presently, migrating a hugetlb page or unmapping a poisoned hugetlb page,
we'll use ptep_clear_flush() and set_pte_at() to nuke the page table entry
and remap it, and this is incorrect for CONT-PTE or CONT-PMD size hugetlb
page, which will cause potential data consistent issue.  This patch set
will change to use hugetlb related APIs to fix this issue.

Note: Mike pointed out the huge_ptep_get() will only return the one
specific value, and it would not take into account the dirty or young bits
of CONT-PTE/PMDs like the huge_ptep_get_and_clear() [1].  This
inconsistent issue is not introduced by this patch set, and this issue
will be addressed in another thread [2].  Meanwhile the uffd for hugetlb
case [3] pointed out by Gerald also needs another patch to address.

This patch (of 3):

It is incorrect to use ptep_clear_flush() to nuke a hugetlb page table
when unmapping or migrating a hugetlb page, and will change to use
huge_ptep_clear_flush() instead in the following patches.

So this is a preparation patch, which changes the huge_ptep_clear_flush()
to return the original pte to help to nuke a hugetlb page table.

In the event that random_get_entropy() can't access a cycle counter or
similar, falling back to returning 0 is really not the best we can do.
Instead, at least calling random_get_entropy_fallback() would be
preferable, because that always needs to return _something_, even
falling back to jiffies eventually. It's not as though
random_get_entropy_fallback() is super high precision or guaranteed to
be entropic, but basically anything that's not zero all the time is
better than returning zero all the time.

This is accomplished by just including the asm-generic code like on
other architectures, which means we can get rid of the empty stub
function here.

This defines and exports a platform specific custom vm_get_page_prot() via
subscribing ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT.  It localizes
arch_vm_get_page_prot() as sparc_vm_get_page_prot() and moves near
vm_get_page_prot().

There are 7 64bit architectures that support Linux COMPAT mode to
run 32bit applications. A lot of definitions are duplicate:
 - COMPAT_USER_HZ
 - COMPAT_RLIM_INFINITY
 - COMPAT_OFF_T_MAX
 - __compat_uid_t, __compat_uid_t
 - compat_dev_t
 - compat_ipc_pid_t
 - struct compat_flock
 - struct compat_flock64
 - struct compat_statfs
 - struct compat_ipc64_perm, compat_semid64_ds,
	  compat_msqid64_ds, compat_shmid64_ds

Cleanup duplicate definitions and merge them into asm-generic.

Provide a single common definition for the compat_flock and
compat_flock64 structures using the same tricks as for the native
variants.  Another extra define is added for the packing required on
x86.

<title>uapi: always define F_GETLK64/F_SETLK64/F_SETLKW64 in fcntl.h</title>

The F_GETLK64/F_SETLK64/F_SETLKW64 fcntl opcodes are only implemented
for the 32-bit syscall APIs, but are also needed for compat handling
on 64-bit kernels.

Consolidate them in unistd.h instead of definining the internal compat
definitions in compat.h, which is rather error prone (e.g. parisc
gets the values wrong currently).

Note that before this change they were never visible to userspace due
to the fact that CONFIG_64BIT is only set for kernel builds.
