Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label".

The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined
like this:

  #if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) &amp;&amp; defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL)
  # define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
  #endif

We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then
make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO.

Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will
match to the real kernel capability.

Unpacking an external initrd may fail e.g.  not enough memory.  This
leads to an incomplete rootfs because some files might be extracted
already.  Fixed by cleaning the rootfs so the kernel is not using an
incomplete rootfs.

We get a warning when building kernel with W=1:

  kernel/fork.c:167:13: warning: no previous prototype for `arch_release_thread_stack' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
  kernel/fork.c:779:13: warning: no previous prototype for `fork_init' [-Wmissing-prototypes]

Add the missing declaration in head file to fix this.

Also, remove arch_release_thread_stack() completely because no arch
seems to implement it since bb9d81264 (arch: remove tile port).

Pull Devicetree updates from Rob Herring:
 "The biggest highlight here is the start of using json-schema for DT
  bindings. Being able to validate bindings has been discussed for years
  with little progress.

   - Initial support for DT bindings using json-schema language. This is
     the start of converting DT bindings from free-form text to a
     structured format.

   - Reworking of initrd address initialization. This moves to using the
     phys address instead of virt addr in the DT parsing code. This
     rework was motivated by CONFIG_DEV_BLK_INITRD causing unnecessary
     rebuilding of lots of files.

   - Fix stale phandle entries in phandle cache

   - DT overlay validation improvements. This exposed several memory
     leak bugs which have been fixed.

   - Use node name and device_type helper functions in DT code

   - Last remaining conversions to using %pOFn printk specifier instead
     of device_node.name directly

   - Create new common RTC binding doc and move all trivial RTC devices
     out of trivial-devices.txt.

   - New bindings for Freescale MAG3110 magnetometer, Cadence Sierra
     PHY, and Xen shared memory

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the main pull request for block/storage for 4.21.

  Larger than usual, it was a busy round with lots of goodies queued up.
  Most notable is the removal of the old IO stack, which has been a long
  time coming. No new features for a while, everything coming in this
  week has all been fixes for things that were previously merged.

  This contains:

   - Use atomic counters instead of semaphores for mtip32xx (Arnd)

   - Cleanup of the mtip32xx request setup (Christoph)

   - Fix for circular locking dependency in loop (Jan, Tetsuo)

   - bcache (Coly, Guoju, Shenghui)
      * Optimizations for writeback caching
      * Various fixes and improvements

   - nvme (Chaitanya, Christoph, Sagi, Jay, me, Keith)
      * host and target support for NVMe over TCP
      * Error log page support
      * Support for separate read/write/poll queues
      * Much improved polling
      * discard OOM fallback
      * Tracepoint improvements

   - lightnvm (Hans, Hua, Igor, Matias, Javier)
      * Igor added packed metadata to pblk. Now drives without metadata
        per LBA can be used as well.
      * Fix from Geert on uninitialized value on chunk metadata reads.
      * Fixes from Hans and Javier to pblk recovery and write path.
      * Fix from Hua Su to fix a race condition in the pblk recovery
        code.
      * Scan optimization added to pblk recovery from Zhoujie.
      * Small geometry cleanup from me.

   - Conversion of the last few drivers that used the legacy path to
     blk-mq (me)

   - Removal of legacy IO path in SCSI (me, Christoph)

   - Removal of legacy IO stack and schedulers (me)

   - Support for much better polling, now without interrupts at all.
     blk-mq adds support for multiple queue maps, which enables us to
     have a map per type. This in turn enables nvme to have separate
     completion queues for polling, which can then be interrupt-less.
     Also means we're ready for async polled IO, which is hopefully
     coming in the next release.

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the main pull request for block/storage for 4.21.

  Larger than usual, it was a busy round with lots of goodies queued up.
  Most notable is the removal of the old IO stack, which has been a long
  time coming. No new features for a while, everything coming in this
  week has all been fixes for things that were previously merged.

  This contains:

   - Use atomic counters instead of semaphores for mtip32xx (Arnd)

   - Cleanup of the mtip32xx request setup (Christoph)

   - Fix for circular locking dependency in loop (Jan, Tetsuo)

   - bcache (Coly, Guoju, Shenghui)
      * Optimizations for writeback caching
      * Various fixes and improvements

   - nvme (Chaitanya, Christoph, Sagi, Jay, me, Keith)
      * host and target support for NVMe over TCP
      * Error log page support
      * Support for separate read/write/poll queues

<title>debugobjects: call debug_objects_mem_init eariler</title>

The current value of the early boot static pool size, 1024 is not big
enough for systems with large number of CPUs with timer or/and workqueue
objects selected.  As the results, systems have 60+ CPUs with both timer
and workqueue objects enabled could trigger "ODEBUG: Out of memory.
ODEBUG disabled".

Some debug objects are allocated during the early boot.  Enabling some
options like timers or workqueue objects may increase the size required
significantly with large number of CPUs.  For example,

CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_TIMERS:
No. CPUs x 2 (worker pool) objects:
start_kernel
  workqueue_init_early
    init_worker_pool
      init_timer_key
        debug_object_init

plus No. CPUs objects (CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS):
sched_init
  hrtick_rq_init
    hrtimer_init

CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_WORK:
No. CPUs objects:
vmalloc_init
  __init_work

plus No. CPUs x 6 (workqueue) objects:
workqueue_init_early
  alloc_workqueue
    __alloc_workqueue_key
      alloc_and_link_pwqs
        init_pwq

Also, plus No. CPUs objects:
perf_event_init
  __init_srcu_struct
    init_srcu_struct_fields
      init_srcu_struct_nodes
        __init_work

However, none of the things are actually used or required before
debug_objects_mem_init() is invoked, so just move the call right before
vmalloc_init().

According to tglx, "the reason why the call is at this place in
start_kernel() is historical.  It's because back in the days when
debugobjects were added the memory allocator was enabled way later than
today."

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
 "In the finest of holiday of traditions, I have a number of gifts to
  share today. While most of them are re-gifts from others, unlike the
  typical re-gift, these are things you will want in and around your
  tree; I promise.

  This pull request is perhaps a bit larger than our typical PR, but
  most of it comes from Jan's rework of audit's fanotify code; a very
  welcome improvement. We ran this through our normal regression tests,
  as well as some newly created stress tests and everything looks good.

  Richard added a few patches, mostly cleaning up a few things and and
  shortening some of the audit records that we send to userspace; a
  change the userspace folks are quite happy about.

  Finally YueHaibing and I kick in a few patches to simplify things a
  bit and make the code less prone to errors.

  Lastly, I want to say thanks one more time to everyone who has
  contributed patches, testing, and code reviews for the audit subsystem
  over the past year. The project is what it is due to your help and
  contributions - thank you"
