Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "This series contains HCH's changes to absorb configfs attribute
  -&gt;show() + -&gt;store() function pointer usage from it's original
  tree-wide consumers, into common configfs code.

  It includes usb-gadget, target w/ drivers, netconsole and ocfs2
  changes to realize the improved simplicity, that now renders the
  original include/target/configfs_macros.h CPP magic for fabric drivers
  and others, unnecessary and obsolete.

  And with common code in place, new configfs attributes can be added
  easier than ever before.

  Note, there are further improvements in-flight from other folks for
  v4.5 code in configfs land, plus number of target fixes for post -rc1
  code"

In the meantime, a new user of the now-removed old configfs API came in
through the char/misc tree in commit 7bd1d4093c2f ("stm class: Introduce
an abstraction for System Trace Module devices").

This merge resolution comes from Alexander Shishkin, who updated his stm
class tracing abstraction to account for the removal of the old
show_attribute and store_attribute methods in commit 517982229f78
("configfs: remove old API") from this pull.  As Alexander says about
that patch:

 "There's no need to keep an extra wrapper structure per item and the
  awkward show_attribute/store_attribute item ops are no longer needed.

  This patch converts policy code to the new api, all the while making
  the code quite a bit smaller and easier on the eyes.

  Signed-off-by: Alexander Shishkin &lt;alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com&gt;"

That patch was folded into the merge so that the tree should be fully
bisectable.

<title>xen, cpu_hotplug: call device_offline instead of cpu_down</title>

When offlining a cpu, instead of cpu_down, call device_offline, which
also takes care of updating the cpu.dev.offline field. This keeps the
sysfs file /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/online, up to date.  Also move
the call to disable_hotplug_cpu, because it makes more sense to have it
there.

We don't call device_online at cpu-hotplug time, because that would
immediately take the cpu online, while we want to retain the current
behaviour: the user needs to explicitly enable the cpu after it has
been hotplugged.

The PV ring may use multiple grants and expect them to be mapped
contiguously in the virtual memory.

Although, the current code is relying on a Linux page will be mapped to
a single grant. On build where Linux is using a different page size than
the grant (i.e other than 4KB), the grant will always be mapped on the
first 4KB of each Linux page which make the final ring not contiguous in
the memory.

This can be fixed by mapping multiple grant in a same Linux page.

With the 64KB page granularity support on ARM64, a Linux page may be
split accross multiple grant.

Currently we have the helper gnttab_foreach_grant_in_grant to break a
Linux page based on an offset and a len, but it doesn't fit when we only
have a number of grants in hand.

Introduce a new helper which take an array of Linux page and a number of
grant and will figure out the address of each grant.

The type of the item in frame_list is xen_pfn_t which is not an unsigned
long on ARM but an uint64_t.

With the current computation, the size of frame_list will be 2 *
PAGE_SIZE rather than PAGE_SIZE.

I bet it's just mistake when the type has been switched from "unsigned
long" to "xen_pfn_t" in commit 965c0aaafe3e75d4e65cd4ec862915869bde3abd

<title>xen/swiotlb: Add support for 64KB page granularity</title>

Swiotlb is used on ARM64 to support DMA on platform where devices are
not protected by an SMMU. Furthermore it's only enabled for DOM0.

While Xen is always using 4KB page granularity in the stage-2 page table,
Linux ARM64 may either use 4KB or 64KB. This means that a Linux page
can be spanned accross multiple Xen page.

The Swiotlb code has to validate that the buffer used for DMA is
physically contiguous in the memory. As a Linux page can't be shared
between local memory and foreign page by design (the balloon code always
removing entirely a Linux page), the changes in the code are very
minimal because we only need to check the first Xen PFN.

Note that it may be possible to optimize the function
check_page_physically_contiguous to avoid looping over every Xen PFN
for local memory. Although I will let this optimization for a follow-up.

The hypercall interface (as well as the toolstack) is always using 4KB
page granularity. When the toolstack is asking for mapping a series of
guest PFN in a batch, it expects to have the page map contiguously in
its virtual memory.

When Linux is using 64KB page granularity, the privcmd driver will have
to map multiple Xen PFN in a single Linux page.

Note that this solution works on page granularity which is a multiple of
4KB.
