Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:
 "This contains the fixes we'd like to target for the 4.16 merge window.
  It's not as much as I was originally hoping to do but between glibc,
  the chip, and FOSDEM there just wasn't enough time to get everything
  put together. As such, this merge window is essentially just going to
  be small changes. This includes mostly cleanups:

   - A build fix failure to the audit test cases.

     RISC-V doesn't have renameat because the generic syscall ABI moved
     to renameat2 by the time of our port. The syscall audit test cases
     don't understand this, so I added a trivial fix. This went through
     mailing list review during the 4.15 merge window, but nobody has
     picked it up so I think it's best to just do this here.

   - The removal of our command-line argument processing code. The
     "mem_end" stuff was broken and the rest duplicated generic device
     tree code. The generic code was already being called.

   - Some unused/redundant code has been removed, including
     __ARCH_HAVE_MMU, current_pgdir, and the initialization of
     init_mm.pgd.

   - SUM is disabled upon taking a trap, which means that user memory is
     protected during traps taking inside copy_{to,from}_user().

   - The sptbr CSR has been renamed to satp in C code. We haven't
     changed the assembly code in order to maintain compatibility with
     binutils 2.29, which doesn't understand the new name.

  Additionally, we're adding some new features:

   - Basic ftrace support, thanks to Alan Kao!

   - Support for ZONE_DMA32.

     This is necessary for all the normal reasons, but also to deal with
     a deficiency in the Xilinx PCIe controller we're using on our
     FPGA-based systems. While the ZONE_DMA32 addition should be
     sufficient for most uses, it doesn't complete the fix for the
     Xilinx controller.

   - TLB shootdowns now only target the harts where they're necessary,
     instead of applying to all harts in the system.

  These patches have all been sitting on our linux-next branch for a
  while now. Due to time constraints this is all I feel comfortable
  submitting during the 4.16 merge window, hopefully we'll do better
  next time!"

[ Note to self: "harts" is RISC-V speak for "hardware threads".  I had
  to look that up.    - Linus ]

<title>lib: optimize cpumask_next_and()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0ade34c37012ea5c516d9aa4d19a56e9f40a55ed</id>
<content type='text'>
We've measured that we spend ~0.6% of sys cpu time in cpumask_next_and().
It's essentially a joined iteration in search for a non-zero bit, which is
currently implemented as a lookup join (find a nonzero bit on the lhs,
lookup the rhs to see if it's set there).

Implement a direct join (find a nonzero bit on the incrementally built
join).  Also add generic bitmap benchmarks in the new `test_find_bit`
module for new function (see `find_next_and_bit` in [2] and [3] below).

For cpumask_next_and, direct benchmarking shows that it's 1.17x to 14x
faster with a geometric mean of 2.1 on 32 CPUs [1].  No impact on memory
usage.  Note that on Arm, the new pure-C implementation still outperforms
the old one that uses a mix of C and asm (`find_next_bit`) [3].

[1] Approximate benchmark code:

```
  unsigned long src1p[nr_cpumask_longs] = {pattern1};
  unsigned long src2p[nr_cpumask_longs] = {pattern2};
  for (/*a bunch of repetitions*/) {
    for (int n = -1; n &lt;= nr_cpu_ids; ++n) {
      asm volatile("" : "+rm"(src1p)); // prevent any optimization
      asm volatile("" : "+rm"(src2p));
      unsigned long result = cpumask_next_and(n, src1p, src2p);
      asm volatile("" : "+rm"(result));
    }
  }
```

Results:
pattern1    pattern2     time_before/time_after

<content type='text'>
Moving the qrwlock struct definition into a header file introduced
a subtle bug on all little-endian machines, where some files in some
configurations would see the fields in an incorrect order.  This was
found by building with an LTO enabled compiler that warns every time we
try to link together files with incompatible data structures.

A second patch changes linux/kconfig.h to always define the symbols,
but this seems to be the root cause of most of the issues, so I'd suggest
we do both.

On a current linux-next kernel, I verified that this header is
responsible for all type mismatches as a result from the endianess
confusion.

Pull clk updates from Stephen Boyd:
 "The core framework has a handful of patches this time around, mostly
  due to the clk rate protection support added by Jerome Brunet.

  This feature will allow consumers to lock in a certain rate on the
  output of a clk so that things like audio playback don't hear pops
  when the clk frequency changes due to shared parent clks changing
  rates. Currently the clk API doesn't guarantee the rate of a clk stays
  at the rate you request after clk_set_rate() is called, so this new
  API will allow drivers to express that requirement.

  Beyond this, the core got some debugfs pretty printing patches and a
  couple minor non-critical fixes.

  Looking outside of the core framework diff we have some new driver
  additions and the removal of a legacy TI clk driver. Both of these hit
  high in the dirstat. Also, the removal of the asm-generic/clkdev.h
  file causes small one-liners in all the architecture Kbuild files.

  Overall, the driver diff seems to be the normal stuff that comes all
  the time to fix little problems here and there and to support new
  hardware.

  Summary:

  Core:
   - Clk rate protection
   - Symbolic clk flags in debugfs output
   - Clk registration enabled clks while doing bookkeeping updates

  New Drivers:
   - Spreadtrum SC9860

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Add a console_msg_format command line option:

     The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The
     value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "&lt;log
     level&gt;[timestamp] text" format.

     This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for
     example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs
     at hands.

 - Reduce the risk of softlockup:

     Pass the console owner in a busy loop.

     This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by
     Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which
     the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep.
     On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use
     a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the
     console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of
     the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the
     waiter.

     The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations.
     Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example,
     when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too
     much to flush.

     There is increasing number of people having problems with
     printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better
     solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising
     direction.

 - Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk():

     This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped
     to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output.
     This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described
     above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective.

 - Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier:

     It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function
     descriptors and show the real function address. It is done
     transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now.

     Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in
     a special elf section and could be easily detected.

 - Remove printk_symbol() API:

     It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change
     helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API.

 - Remove redundant memsets:

     Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg
     command line option.

Instead of marking the pmd ready for split, invalidate the pmd.  This
should take care of powerpc requirement.  Only side effect is that we
mark the pmd invalid early.  This can result in us blocking access to
the page a bit longer if we race against a thp split.
