GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8ff3 ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation. As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag. How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.
The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory. So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.
I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification. I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring. This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.
I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse. Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL. Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.
I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.
This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic. It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users. The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers. So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.

I recently came upon a scenario where I would get a double fault
machine check exception tiriggered by a kernel module.
However the ensuing crash stacktrace (ksym lookup) was not working
correctly.
Turns out that machine check auto-disables MMU while modules are allocated
in kernel vaddr spapce.
This patch re-enables the MMU before start printing the stacktrace
making stacktracing of modules work upon a fatal exception.

This initial port adds support of ARC HS Development Kit board with some
basic features such serial port, USB, SD/MMC and Ethernet.
Essentially we run Linux kernel on all 4 cores (i.e. utilize SMP) and
heavily use IO Coherency for speeding-up DMA-aware peripherals.
Note as opposed to other ARC boards we link Linux kernel to
0x9000_0000 intentionally because cores 1 and 3 configured with DCCM
situated at our more usual link base 0x8000_0000. We still can use
memory region starting at 0x8000_0000 as we reallocate DCCM in our
platform code.
Note that PAE remapping for DMA clients does not work due to an RTL bug,
so CREG_PAE register must be programmed to all zeroes, otherwise it will
cause problems with DMA to/from peripherals even if PAE40 is not used.

Current implementation relies on L1 line length which might easily
be smaller than L2 line (which is usually the case BTW).
Imagine this typical case: L2 line is 128 bytes while L1 line is
64-bytes. Now we want to allocate small buffer and later use it for DMA
(consider IOC is not available).
kmalloc() allocates small KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE-sized, KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE-aligned
That way if buffer happens to be aligned to L1 line and not L2 line we'll be
flushing and invalidating extra portions of data from L2 which will cause
cache coherency issues.
And since KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE is bound to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN the fix could
be simple - set ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN to the largest cache line we may ever
get. As of today neither L1 of ARC700 and ARC HS38 nor SLC might not be
longer than 128 bytes.

Recent commit a8ec3ee861b6 "arc: Mask individual IRQ lines during core
INTC init" breaks interrupt handling on ARCv2 SMP systems.
That commit masked all interrupts at onset, as some controllers on some
boards (customer as well as internal), would assert interrutps early
before any handlers were installed. For SMP systems, the masking was
done at each cpu's core-intc. Later, when the IRQ was actually
requested, it was unmasked, but only on the requesting cpu.
For "common" interrupts, which were wired up from the 2nd level IDU
intc, this was as issue as they needed to be enabled on ALL the cpus
(given that IDU IRQs are by default served Round Robin across cpus)
So fix that by NOT masking "common" interrupts at core-intc, but instead
at the 2nd level IDU intc (latter already being done in idu_of_init())
Fixes: a8ec3ee861b6 ("arc: Mask individual IRQ lines during core INTC init")

This commit add new configuration that enables us to distinguish
between building the kernel for platforms that have a different set
of auxiliary registers for each cpu and platforms that have a shared
set of auxiliary registers across every thread in each core.
On platforms that implement a different set of auxiliary registers
disabling this configuration insures that we initialize registers on
every cpu and not just for the first thread of the core.
Example for non shared registers is working with EZsim (non silicon)

which is handled gracefully by kernel (or it tries to despite this being
imprecise, and error could get charged to kernel itself). The offending
task is killed and kernel moves on.
NPS hardware however raises a Machine Check exception for same error
which is NOT recoverable by kernel.
This patch aligns kernel handling for nSIM case, to same as hardware by
overriding the default user space bus error handler.

When HW threads are active we want CPU to enter idle state only
for the calling HW thread and not to put on sleep all HW threads
sharing this core. For this need the NPS400 got dedicated instruction
so only calling thread is entring sleep and all other are still awake
and can execute instructions.

There is code duplicated over all architecture's headers for
futex_atomic_op_inuser. Namely op decoding, access_ok check for uaddr,
and comparison of the result.
Remove this duplication and leave up to the arches only the needed
assembly which is now in arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser.
This effectively distributes the Will Deacon's arm64 fix for undefined
behaviour reported by UBSAN to all architectures. The fix was done in
commit 5f16a046f8e1 (arm64: futex: Fix undefined behaviour with
FUTEX_OP_OPARG_SHIFT usage). Look there for an example dump.
And as suggested by Thomas, check for negative oparg too, because it was
also reported to cause undefined behaviour report.
Note that s390 removed access_ok check in d12a29703 ("s390/uaccess:
remove pointless access_ok() checks") as access_ok there returns true.
We introduce it back to the helper for the sake of simplicity (it gets
optimized away anyway).

There is no agreed-upon definition of spin_unlock_wait()'s semantics,
and it appears that all callers could do just as well with a lock/unlock
pair. This commit therefore removes the underlying arch-specific
arch_spin_unlock_wait() for all architectures providing them.

ARC cores on reset have all interrupt lines of built-in INTC enabled.
Which means once we globally enable interrupts (very early on boot)
faulty hardware blocks may trigger an interrupt that Linux kernel
cannot handle yet as corresponding handler is not yet installed.
In that case system falls in "interrupt storm" and basically never
does anything useful except entering and exiting generic IRQ handling
code.
One real example of that kind of problematic hardware is DW GMAC which
also has interrupts enabled on reset and if Ethernet PHY informs GMAC
about link state, GMAC immediately reports that upstream to ARC core
and here we are.
Now with that change we mask all individual IRQ lines making entire
system more fool-proof.

Those architectures that have a special atomic_set implementation also
need a special atomic_set_release(), because for the very same reason
WRITE_ONCE() is broken for them, smp_store_release() is too.
The vast majority is architectures that have spinlock hash based atomic
implementation except hexagon which seems to have a hardware 'feature'.
The spinlock based atomics should be SC, that is, none of them appear to
place extra barriers in atomic_cmpxchg() or any of the other SC atomic
primitives and therefore seem to rely on their spinlock implementation
being SC (I did not fully validate all that).
Therefore, the normal atomic_set() is SC and can be used at
atomic_set_release().

PAE40 confiuration in hardware extends some of the address registers
for TLB/cache ops to 2 words.
So far kernel was NOT setting the higher word if feature was not enabled
in software which is wrong. Those need to be set to 0 in such case.
Normally this would be done in the cache flush / tlb ops, however since
these registers only exist conditionally, this would have to be
conditional to a flag being set on boot which is expensive/ugly -
specially for the more common case of PAE exists but not in use.
Optimize that by zero'ing them once at boot - nobody will write to
them afterwards

It is necessary to explicitly set both SLC_AUX_RGN_START1 and SLC_AUX_RGN_END1
which hold MSB bits of the physical address correspondingly of region start
and end otherwise SLC region operation is executed in unpredictable manner
Without this patch, SLC flushes on HSDK (IOC disabled) were taking
seconds.

Multiple architectures define this as a trivial function, and I'm adding
another one as part of the RISC-V port. Add a __weak version of
pcibios_align_resource() and delete the now-obselete ones in a handful of
ports.
The only functional change should be that a handful of ports used to export
pcibios_fixup_bus(). Only some architectures export this, so I just
dropped it.
