This new statistic can help diagnosing VCPUs that, for any reason,
trigger bad behavior of halt_poll_ns autotuning.
For example, say halt_poll_ns = 480000, and wakeups are spaced exactly
like 479us, 481us, 479us, 481us. Then KVM always fails polling and wastes
10+20+40+80+160+320+480 = 1110 microseconds out of every
479+481+479+481+479+481+479 = 3359 microseconds. The VCPU then
is consuming about 30% more CPU than it would use without
polling. This would show as an abnormally high number of
attempted polling compared to the successful polls.

Almost everyone implements dma_set_mask the same way, although some time
that's hidden in ->set_dma_mask methods.
This patch consolidates those into a common implementation that either
calls ->set_dma_mask if present or otherwise uses the default
implementation. Some architectures used to only call ->set_dma_mask
after the initial checks, and those instance have been fixed to do the
full work. h8300 implemented dma_set_mask bogusly as a no-ops and has
been fixed.
Unfortunately some architectures overload unrelated semantics like changing
the dma_ops into it so we still need to allow for an architecture override
for now.

Most architectures just call into ->dma_supported, but some also return 1
if the method is not present, or 0 if no dma ops are present (although
that should never happeb). Consolidate this more broad version into
common code.
Also fix h8300 which inorrectly always returned 0, which would have been
a problem if it's dma_set_mask implementation wasn't a similarly buggy
noop.
As a few architectures have much more elaborate implementations, we
still allow for arch overrides.

Currently there are three valid implementations of dma_mapping_error:
(1) call ->mapping_error
(2) check for a hardcoded error code
(3) always return 0
This patch provides a common implementation that calls ->mapping_error
if present, then checks for DMA_ERROR_CODE if defined or otherwise
returns 0.

Most architectures do not support non-coherent allocations and either
define dma_{alloc,free}_noncoherent to their coherent versions or stub
them out.
Openrisc uses dma_{alloc,free}_attrs to implement them, and only Mips
implements them directly.
This patch moves the Openrisc version to common code, and handles the
DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT case in the mips dma_map_ops instance.
Note that actual non-coherent allocations require a dma_cache_sync
implementation, so if non-coherent allocations didn't work on
an architecture before this patch they still won't work after it.

Since 2009 we have a nice asm-generic header implementing lots of DMA API
functions for architectures using struct dma_map_ops, but unfortunately
it's still missing a lot of APIs that all architectures still have to
duplicate.
This series consolidates the remaining functions, although we still need
arch opt outs for two of them as a few architectures have very
non-standard implementations.
This patch (of 5):
The coherent DMA allocator works the same over all architectures supporting
dma_map operations.
This patch consolidates them and converges the minor differences:
- the debug_dma helpers are now called from all architectures, including
those that were previously missing them
- dma_alloc_from_coherent and dma_release_from_coherent are now always
called from the generic alloc/free routines instead of the ops
dma-mapping-common.h always includes dma-coherent.h to get the defintions
for them, or the stubs if the architecture doesn't support this feature
- checks for ->alloc / ->free presence are removed. There is only one
magic instead of dma_map_ops without them (mic_dma_ops) and that one
is x86 only anyway.
Besides that only x86 needs special treatment to replace a default devices
if none is passed and tweak the gfp_flags. An optional arch hook is provided
for that.

1/ Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
kernel's direct map. This facility is used by the pmem driver to
enable pfn_to_page() operations on the page frames returned by DAX
('direct_access' in 'struct block_device_operations'). For now, the
'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes from "System
RAM". Support for allocating the memmap from device memory will
arrive in a later kernel.
2/ Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
ioremap_wt(). memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects. The
replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3. Completion of
the conversion is targeted for v4.4.
3/ Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.
4/ Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
cacheable to improve performance.
5/ Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support
for issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
fixes.

"Included in this update:
- moving PSCI code from ARM64/ARM to drivers/
- removal of some architecture internals from global kernel view
- addition of software based "privileged no access" support using the
old domains register to turn off the ability for kernel
loads/stores to access userspace. Only the proper accessors will
be usable.
- addition of early fixup support for early console
- re-addition (and reimplementation) of OMAP special interconnect
barrier
- removal of finish_arch_switch()
- only expose cpuX/online in sysfs if hotpluggable
- a number of code cleanups"

The linear region size of a 39-bit VA kernel is only 256 GB, which
may be insufficient to cover all of system RAM, even on platforms
that have much less than 256 GB of memory but which is laid out
very sparsely.
So make sure we clip the memory we will not be able to map before
installing it into the memblock memory table, by setting
MAX_MEMBLOCK_ADDR accordingly.

Currently, the event channel rebind code is gated with the presence of
the vector callback.
The virtual interrupt controller on ARM has the concept of per-CPU
interrupt (PPI) which allow us to support per-VCPU event channel.
Therefore there is no need of vector callback for ARM.
Xen is already using a free PPI to notify the guest VCPU of an event.
Furthermore, the xen code initialization in Linux (see
arch/arm/xen/enlighten.c) is requesting correctly a per-CPU IRQ.
Introduce new helper xen_support_evtchn_rebind to allow architecture
decide whether rebind an event is support or not. It will always return
true on ARM and keep the same behavior on x86.
This is also allow us to drop the usage of xen_have_vector_callback
entirely in the ARM code.

There are various problems and short-comings with the current
static_key interface:
- static_key_{true,false}() read like a branch depending on the key
value, instead of the actual likely/unlikely branch depending on
init value.
- static_key_{true,false}() are, as stated above, tied to the
static_key init values STATIC_KEY_INIT_{TRUE,FALSE}.
- we're limited to the 2 (out of 4) possible options that compile to
a default NOP because that's what our arch_static_branch() assembly
emits.
So provide a new static_key interface:
DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE(name);
DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(name);
Which define a key of different types with an initial true/false
value.
Then allow:
static_branch_likely()
static_branch_unlikely()
to take a key of either type and emit the right instruction for the
case.
This means adding a second arch_static_branch_jump() assembly helper
which emits a JMP per default.
In order to determine the right instruction for the right state,
encode the branch type in the LSB of jump_entry::key.
This is the final step in removing the naming confusion that has led to
a stream of avoidable bugs such as:
a833581e37 ("x86, perf: Fix static_key bug in load_mm_cr4()")
... but it also allows new static key combinations that will give us
performance enhancements in the subsequent patches.

When performing a cmpxchg operation on a signed sub-word type (e.g. s8),
we need to ensure that the upper register bits of the "old" value used
for comparison are zeroed, otherwise we may erroneously fail the cmpxchg
which may even be interpreted as success by the caller (if the compiler
performs the truncation as part of its check). This has been observed
in mod_state, where negative values where causing problems with
this_cpu_cmpxchg.
This patch fixes the issue by explicitly casting 8-bit and 16-bit "old"
values using unsigned types in our cmpxchg wrappers. 32-bit types can be
left alone, since the underlying asm makes use of W registers in this
case.

When patching the kernel text with alternatives, we may end up patching
parts of the stop_machine state machine (e.g. atomic_dec_and_test in
ack_state) and consequently corrupt the instruction stream of any
secondary CPUs.
This patch passes the cpu_online_mask to stop_machine, forcing all of
the CPUs into our own callback which can place the secondary cores into
a dumb (but safe!) polling loop whilst the patching is carried out.

When unlocking a spinlock, we perform a read-modify-write on the owner
ticket in order to increment it and store it back with release
semantics.
In the LL/SC case, we load the 16-bit ticket using a 32-bit load and
therefore store back the wrong halfword on a big-endian system,
corrupting the lock after the first unlock and killing the system dead.
This patch fixes the unlock code to use 16-bit accessors consistently.

The flush_tlb_page() function is used on user address ranges when PTEs
(or PMDs/PUDs for huge pages) were changed (attributes or clearing). For
such cases, it is more efficient to invalidate only the last level of
the TLB with the "tlbi vale1is" instruction.
In the TLB shoot-down case, the TLB caching of the intermediate page
table levels (pmd, pud, pgd) is handled by __flush_tlb_pgtable() via the
__(pte|pmd|pud)_free_tlb() functions and it is not deferred to
tlb_finish_mmu() (as of commit 285994a62c - "arm64: Invalidate the TLB
corresponding to intermediate page table levels"). The tlb_flush()
function only needs to invalidate the TLB for the last level of page
tables; the __flush_tlb_range() function gains a fourth argument for
last level TLBI.
