Pull RISC-V cleanups and ABI fixes from Palmer Dabbelt:
 "This contains a handful of small cleanups that are a result of
  feedback that didn't make it into our original patch set, either
  because the feedback hadn't been given yet, I missed the original
  emails, or we weren't ready to submit the changes yet.

  I've been maintaining the various cleanup patch sets I have as their
  own branches, which I then merged together and signed. Each merge
  commit has a short summary of the changes, and each branch is based on
  your latest tag (4.15-rc1, in this case). If this isn't the right way
  to do this then feel free to suggest something else, but it seems sane
  to me.

  Here's a short summary of the changes, roughly in order of how
  interesting they are.

   - libgcc.h has been moved from include/lib, where it's the only
     member, to include/linux. This is meant to avoid tab completion
     conflicts.

   - VDSO entries for clock_get/gettimeofday/getcpu have been added.
     These are simple syscalls now, but we want to let glibc use them
     from the start so we can make them faster later.

   - A VDSO entry for instruction cache flushing has been added so
     userspace can flush the instruction cache.

   - The VDSO symbol versions for __vdso_cmpxchg{32,64} have been
     removed, as those VDSO entries don't actually exist.

   - __io_writes has been corrected to respect the given type.

   - A new READ_ONCE in arch_spin_is_locked().

   - __test_and_op_bit_ord() is now actually ordered.

   - Various small fixes throughout the tree to enable allmodconfig to
     build cleanly.

   - Removal of some dead code in our atomic support headers.

   - Improvements to various comments in our atomic support headers"

Introducing a new include/lib directory just for this file totally
messes up tab completion for include/linux, which is highly annoying.

Move it to include/linux where we have headers for all kinds of other
lib/ code as well.

<title>vsprintf: don't use 'restricted_pointer()' when not restricting</title>

Instead, just fall back on the new '%p' behavior which hashes the
pointer.

Otherwise, '%pK' - that was intended to mark a pointer as restricted -
just ends up leaking pointers that a normal '%p' wouldn't leak.  Which
just make the whole thing pointless.

I suspect we should actually get rid of '%pK' entirely, and make it just
work as '%p' regardless, but this is the minimal obvious fix.  People
who actually use 'kptr_restrict' should weigh in on which behavior they
want.

<title>vsprintf: add printk specifier %px</title>

printk specifier %p now hashes all addresses before printing. Sometimes
we need to see the actual unmodified address. This can be achieved using
%lx but then we face the risk that if in future we want to change the
way the Kernel handles printing of pointers we will have to grep through
the already existent 50 000 %lx call sites. Let's add specifier %px as a
clear, opt-in, way to print a pointer and maintain some level of
isolation from all the other hex integer output within the Kernel.

Add printk specifier %px to print the actual unmodified address.

<title>printk: hash addresses printed with %p</title>

Currently there exist approximately 14 000 places in the kernel where
addresses are being printed using an unadorned %p. This potentially
leaks sensitive information regarding the Kernel layout in memory. Many
of these calls are stale, instead of fixing every call lets hash the
address by default before printing. This will of course break some
users, forcing code printing needed addresses to be updated.

Code that _really_ needs the address will soon be able to use the new
printk specifier %px to print the address.

For what it's worth, usage of unadorned %p can be broken down as
follows (thanks to Joe Perches).

$ git grep -E '%p[^A-Za-z0-9]' | cut -f1 -d"/" | sort | uniq -c
   1084 arch
     20 block
     10 crypto
     32 Documentation
   8121 drivers
   1221 fs
    143 include
    101 kernel
     69 lib
    100 mm
   1510 net
     40 samples
      7 scripts
     11 security
    166 sound
    152 tools
      2 virt

Add function ptr_to_id() to map an address to a 32 bit unique
identifier. Hash any unadorned usage of specifier %p and any malformed
specifiers.

Currently code to handle %pK is all within the switch statement in
pointer(). This is the wrong level of abstraction. Each of the other switch
clauses call a helper function, pK should do the same.

Refactor code out of pointer() to new function restricted_pointer().

Pull MTD updates from Richard Weinberger:
 "General changes:
   -  Unconfuse get_unmapped_area and point/unpoint driver methods
   -  New partition parser: sharpslpart
   -  Kill GENERIC_IO
   -  Various fixes

  NAND changes:
   -  Add a flag to mark NANDs that require 3 address cycles to encode a
      page address
   -  Set a default ECC/free layout when NAND_ECC_NONE is requested
   -  Fix a bug in panic_nand_write()
   -  Another batch of cleanups for the denali driver
   -  Fix PM support in the atmel driver
   -  Remove support for platform data in the omap driver
   -  Fix subpage write in the omap driver
   -  Fix irq handling in the mtk driver
   -  Change link order of mtk_ecc and mtk_nand drivers to speed up boot
      time
   -  Change log level of ECC error messages in the mxc driver
   -  Patch the pxa3xx driver to support Armada 8k platforms
   -  Add BAM DMA support to the qcom driver
   -  Convert gpio-nand to the GPIO desc API
   -  Fix ECC handling in the mt29f driver

  SPI-NOR changes:
   -  Introduce system power management support
   -  New mechanism to select the proper .quad_enable() hook by JEDEC
      ID, when needed, instead of only by manufacturer ID
   -  Add support to new memory parts from Gigadevice, Winbond, Macronix
      and Everspin
   -  Maintainance for Cadence, Intel, Mediatek and STM32 drivers"

<title>treewide: Switch DEFINE_TIMER callbacks to struct timer_list *</title>

<id>24ed960abf1d50cb7834e99a0cfc081bc0656712</id>
<content type='text'>
This changes all DEFINE_TIMER() callbacks to use a struct timer_list
pointer instead of unsigned long. Since the data argument has already been
removed, none of these callbacks are using their argument currently, so
this renames the argument to "unused".

Done using the following semantic patch:

@match_define_timer@
declarer name DEFINE_TIMER;
identifier _timer, _callback;
@@

 DEFINE_TIMER(_timer, _callback);

@change_callback depends on match_define_timer@
identifier match_define_timer._callback;
type _origtype;
identifier _origarg;
@@

 void
-_callback(_origtype _origarg)
+_callback(struct timer_list *unused)
 { ... }
