When enabled local debugging via `#define EFI_DEBUG 1` noticed build
failure:

    arch/ia64/kernel/efi.c:564:8: error: 'i' undeclared (first use in this function)

While at it fixed benign string format mismatches visible only when
EFI_DEBUG is enabled:

    arch/ia64/kernel/efi.c:589:11:
        warning: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int',
        but argument 5 has type 'u64' {aka 'long long unsigned int'} [-Wformat=]

<title>ia64: remove unneeded header includes from &lt;asm/mca.h&gt;</title>

&lt;asm/mca.h&gt; includes too many unneeded headers.

This commit cuts off a lot of header includes.

What we need to include are:

 - &lt;linux/percpu.h&gt; for DECLARE_PER_CPU(u64, ia64_mca_pal_base)
 - &lt;linux/threads.h&gt; for NR_CPUS
 - &lt;linux/types.h&gt; for u8, u64, size_t, etc.
 - &lt;asm/ptrace.h&gt; for KERNEL_STACK_SIZE

The other header includes are actually unneeded.

&lt;asm/mca.h&gt; previously included 436 headers, and now it includes
only 138. I confirmed &lt;asm/mca.h&gt; is still self-contained.

<title>mm: don't include asm/pgtable.h if linux/mm.h is already included</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e31cf2f4ca422ac9b14ecc4a1295b8977a20f812</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2.

The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are
duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once.  For
instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported
architectures.

Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils
down to, e.g.

static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address)
{
        return (address &gt;&gt; PMD_SHIFT) &amp; (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1);
}

static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address)
{
        return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address);
}

These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided
XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined.

For architectures that really need a custom version there is always
possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic.

These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table
accessors to the new header.

This patch (of 12):

The linux/mm.h header includes &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt; to allow inlining of the
functions involving page table manipulations, e.g.  pte_alloc() and
pmd_alloc().  So, there is no point to explicitly include &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt;
in the files that include &lt;linux/mm.h&gt;.

The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop:

	for f in $(git grep -l "include &lt;linux/mm.h&gt;") ; do
		sed -i -e '/include &lt;asm\/pgtable.h&gt;/ d' $f
	done

<title>efi: Clean up config table description arrays</title>

Increase legibility by adding whitespace to the efi_config_table_type_t
arrays that describe which EFI config tables we look for when going over
the firmware provided list. While at it, replace the 'name' char pointer
with a char array, which is more space efficient on relocatable 64-bit
kernels, as it avoids a 8 byte pointer and the associated relocation
data (24 bytes when using RELA format)

config_parse_tables() is a jumble of pointer arithmetic, due to the
fact that on x86, we may be dealing with firmware whose native word
size differs from the kernel's.

This is not a concern on other architectures, and doesn't quite
justify the state of the code, so let's clean it up by adding a
non-x86 code path, constifying statically allocated tables and
replacing preprocessor conditionals with IS_ENABLED() checks.

IA64 calls efi_config_parse_tables() via efi_config_init(), which
does an explicit memremap() of the tables, which is unnecessary
on IA64. So let's call efi_config_parse_tables() directly, passing
the __va() of the config table array.

The IA64 code never refers to the EFI system table except from
inside the scope of efi_init(). So let's use a local variable
instead of efi.systab, which will be going away soon.

Instead of iterating over the EFI config table array manually,
declare it as an arch table so it gets picked up by the existing
config table handling code.
