SEV_VERSION_GREATER_OR_EQUAL() will fail if upgrading from 2.2 to 3.1, for
example, because the minor version is not equal to or greater than the
major.

Fix this and move to a static inline function for appropriate type
checking.

Converts ARM the text files to ReST, preparing them to be an
architecture book.

The conversion is actually:
  - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
  - fix tables markups;
  - add some lists markups;
  - mark literal blocks;
  - adjust title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

There is a possible double free issue in ppc4xx_trng_probe():

85:	dev-&gt;trng_base = of_iomap(trng, 0);

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
We fix it by removing the unnecessary of_node_put().

<id>e1928328699a582a540b105e5f4c160832a7fdcb</id>
<content type='text'>
Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle are:

   - rwsem scalability improvements, phase #2, by Waiman Long, which are
     rather impressive:

       "On a 2-socket 40-core 80-thread Skylake system with 40 reader
        and writer locking threads, the min/mean/max locking operations
        done in a 5-second testing window before the patchset were:

         40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/1,808/1,810
         40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/50,344/151,255

        After the patchset, they became:

         40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 30,057/31,359/32,741
         40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 94,466/95,845/97,098"

     There's a lot of changes to the locking implementation that makes
     it similar to qrwlock, including owner handoff for more fair
     locking.

     Another microbenchmark shows how across the spectrum the
     improvements are:

       "With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the
        total locking rates (in kops/s) on a 2-socket Skylake system
        with equal numbers of readers and writers (mixed) before and
        after this patchset were:

        # of Threads   Before Patch      After Patch
        ------------   ------------      -----------
             2            2,618             4,193
             4            1,202             3,726
             8              802             3,622
            16              729             3,359
            32              319             2,826
            64              102             2,744"

     The changes are extensive and the patch-set has been through
     several iterations addressing various locking workloads. There
     might be more regressions, but unless they are pathological I
     believe we want to use this new implementation as the baseline
     going forward.

   - jump-label optimizations by Daniel Bristot de Oliveira: the primary
     motivation was to remove IPI disturbance of isolated RT-workload
     CPUs, which resulted in the implementation of batched jump-label
     updates. Beyond the improvement of the real-time characteristics
     kernel, in one test this patchset improved static key update
     overhead from 57 msecs to just 1.4 msecs - which is a nice speedup
     as well.

   - atomic64_t cross-arch type cleanups by Mark Rutland: over the last
     ~10 years of atomic64_t existence the various types used by the
     APIs only had to be self-consistent within each architecture -
     which means they became wildly inconsistent across architectures.
     Mark puts and end to this by reworking all the atomic64
     implementations to use 's64' as the base type for atomic64_t, and
     to ensure that this type is consistently used for parameters and
     return values in the API, avoiding further problems in this area.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle are:

   - rwsem scalability improvements, phase #2, by Waiman Long, which are
     rather impressive:

       "On a 2-socket 40-core 80-thread Skylake system with 40 reader
        and writer locking threads, the min/mean/max locking operations
        done in a 5-second testing window before the patchset were:

         40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/1,808/1,810
         40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/50,344/151,255

        After the patchset, they became:

         40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 30,057/31,359/32,741
         40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 94,466/95,845/97,098"

     There's a lot of changes to the locking implementation that makes
     it similar to qrwlock, including owner handoff for more fair
     locking.

     Another microbenchmark shows how across the spectrum the
     improvements are:

       "With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the
        total locking rates (in kops/s) on a 2-socket Skylake system
        with equal numbers of readers and writers (mixed) before and
        after this patchset were:

        # of Threads   Before Patch      After Patch
        ------------   ------------      -----------
             2            2,618             4,193
             4            1,202             3,726
             8              802             3,622
            16              729             3,359
            32              319             2,826
            64              102             2,744"

     The changes are extensive and the patch-set has been through
     several iterations addressing various locking workloads. There
     might be more regressions, but unless they are pathological I
     believe we want to use this new implementation as the baseline
     going forward.

   - jump-label optimizations by Daniel Bristot de Oliveira: the primary
     motivation was to remove IPI disturbance of isolated RT-workload
     CPUs, which resulted in the implementation of batched jump-label
     updates. Beyond the improvement of the real-time characteristics
     kernel, in one test this patchset improved static key update
     overhead from 57 msecs to just 1.4 msecs - which is a nice speedup
     as well.

   - atomic64_t cross-arch type cleanups by Mark Rutland: over the last
     ~10 years of atomic64_t existence the various types used by the
     APIs only had to be self-consistent within each architecture -
     which means they became wildly inconsistent across architectures.
     Mark puts and end to this by reworking all the atomic64
     implementations to use 's64' as the base type for atomic64_t, and
     to ensure that this type is consistently used for parameters and
     return values in the API, avoiding further problems in this area.

When DMA is used, waiting for completion must not be
interruptible as it can generate an error that is not handle
by the driver. There is no need to put the completion
interruptible in this driver.
