Commit 0515e5999a466dfe ("bpf: introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT
program type") introduced the bpf_perf_event_data structure which
exports the pt_regs structure.  This is OK for multiple architectures
but fail for s390 and arm64 which do not export pt_regs.  Programs
using them, for example, the bpf selftest fail to compile on these
architectures.

For s390, exporting the pt_regs is not an option because s390 wants
to allow changes to it.  For arm64, there is a user_pt_regs structure
that covers parts of the pt_regs structure for use by user space.

To solve the broken uapi for s390 and arm64, introduce an abstract
type for pt_regs and add an asm/bpf_perf_event.h file that concretes
the type.  An asm-generic header file covers the architectures that
export pt_regs today.

The arch-specific enablement for s390 and arm64 follows in separate
commits.

<title>mm: switch to 'define pmd_write' instead of __HAVE_ARCH_PMD_WRITE</title>

In response to compile breakage introduced by a series that added the
pud_write helper to x86, Stephen notes:

    did you consider using the other paradigm:

    In arch include files:
    #define pud_write       pud_write
    static inline int pud_write(pud_t pud)
     .....

    Then in include/asm-generic/pgtable.h:

    #ifndef pud_write
    tatic inline int pud_write(pud_t pud)
    {
            ....
    }
    #endif

    If you had, then the powerpc code would have worked ... ;-) and many
    of the other interfaces in include/asm-generic/pgtable.h are
    protected that way ...

Given that some architecture already define pmd_write() as a macro, it's
a net reduction to drop the definition of __HAVE_ARCH_PMD_WRITE.

The parent_node() macro in SPARC64 platform is unnecessary.

<content type='text'>
Add an optimized mm_zero_struct_page(), so struct page's are zeroed
without calling memset().  We do eight to ten regular stores based on
the size of struct page.  Compiler optimizes out the conditions of
switch() statement.

SPARC-M6 with 15T of memory, single thread performance:

                               BASE            FIX  OPTIMIZED_FIX
        bootmem_init   28.440467985s   2.305674818s   2.305161615s
free_area_init_nodes  202.845901673s 225.343084508s 172.556506560s
                      --------------------------------------------
Total                 231.286369658s 227.648759326s 174.861668175s

BASE:  current linux
FIX:   This patch series without "optimized struct page zeroing"
OPTIMIZED_FIX: This patch series including the current patch.

bootmem_init() is where memory for struct pages is zeroed during
allocation.  Note, about two seconds in this function is a fixed time:
it does not increase as memory is increased.

<title>fcntl: don't cap l_start and l_end values for F_GETLK64 in compat syscall</title>

<id>4d2dc2cc766c3b51929658cacbc6e34fc8e242fb</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, we're capping the values too low in the F_GETLK64 case. The
fields in that structure are 64-bit values, so we shouldn't need to do
any sort of fixup there.

Make sure we check that assumption at build time in the future however
by ensuring that the sizes we're copying will fit.

With this, we no longer need COMPAT_LOFF_T_MAX either, so remove it.

Fixes: 94073ad77fff2 (fs/locks: don't mess with the address limit in compat_fcntl64)
