Once the driver gets sync_reset_request from firmware it prepares for the
coming reset and sends acknowledge.
After getting this event the driver expects device reset, either it will
trigger PCI reset on sync_reset_now event or such PCI reset will be
triggered by another PF of the same device. So it moves to reset
requested mode and if it gets PCI reset triggered by the other PF it
detect the reset and reloads.

Pull KCSAN updates for v5.10 from Paul E. McKenney:
- Improve kernel messages.
- Be more permissive with bitops races under KCSAN_ASSUME_PLAIN_WRITES_ATOMIC=y.
- Optimize debugfs stat counters.
- Introduce the instrument_*read_write() annotations, to provide a
finer description of certain ops - using KCSAN's compound instrumentation.
Use them for atomic RNW and bitops, where appropriate.
Doing this might find new races.
(Depends on the compiler having tsan-compound-read-before-write=1 support.)

The thinking in commit:
fddf9055a6 ("lockdep: Use raw_cpu_*() for per-cpu variables")
is flawed. While it is true that when we're migratable both CPUs will
have a 0 value, it doesn't hold that when we do get migrated in the
middle of a raw_cpu_op(), the old CPU will still have 0 by the time we
get around to reading it on the new CPU.
Luckily, the reason for that commit (s390 using preempt_disable()
instead of preempt_disable_notrace() in their percpu code), has since
been fixed by commit:
1196f12a2c ("s390: don't trace preemption in percpu macros")

Compared to other arch_* functions, arch_set_freq_scale() has an atypical
weak definition that can be replaced by a strong architecture specific
implementation.
The more typical support for architectural functions involves defining
an empty stub in a header file if the symbol is not already defined in
architecture code. Some examples involve:
- #define arch_scale_freq_capacity topology_get_freq_scale
- #define arch_scale_freq_invariant topology_scale_freq_invariant
- #define arch_scale_cpu_capacity topology_get_cpu_scale
- #define arch_update_cpu_topology topology_update_cpu_topology
- #define arch_scale_thermal_pressure topology_get_thermal_pressure
- #define arch_set_thermal_pressure topology_set_thermal_pressure
Bring arch_set_freq_scale() in line with these functions by renaming it to
topology_set_freq_scale() in the arch topology driver, and by defining the
arch_set_freq_scale symbol to point to the new function for arm and arm64.
While there are other users of the arch_topology driver, this patch defines
arch_set_freq_scale for arm and arm64 only, due to their existing
definitions of arch_scale_freq_capacity. This is the getter function of the
frequency invariance scale factor and without a getter function, the
setter function - arch_set_freq_scale() has not purpose.

PD 3.0 spec defines a new mechanism for power role swap called
Fast role swap. This change enables TCPM to support FRS when
acting as sink.
Once the explicit contract is negotiated, sink port is
expected to query the source port for sink caps to
determine whether the source is FRS capable.
Bits 23 & 24 of fixed pdo of the sink caps from the source, when
set, indicates the current needed by the source when fast role
swap is in progress(Implicit contract phasae). 0 indicates that
the source does not support Fast Role Swap.
Upon receiving the FRS signal from the source,
TCPC(TCPM_FRS_EVENT) informs TCPM to start the Fast role swap sequence.
1. TCPM sends FRS PD message: FR_SWAP_SEND
2. If response is not received within the expiry of
SenderResponseTimer, Error recovery is triggered.:
FR_SWAP_SEND_TIMEOUT
3. Upon receipt of the accept message, TCPM waits for
PSSourceOffTimer for PS_READY message from the partner:
FR_SWAP_SNK_SRC_NEW_SINK_READY.
TCPC is expected to autonomously turn on vbus once the FRS
signal is received and vbus voltage falls below vsafe5v within
tSrcFrSwap. This is different from traditional power role swap
where the vbus sourcing is turned on by TCPM.
4. By this time, TCPC most likely would have started to
source vbus, TCPM waits for tSrcFrSwap to see if the
lower level TCPC driver signals TCPM_SOURCING_VBUS event:
FR_SWAP_SNK_SRC_SOURCE_VBUS_APPLIED.
5. When TCPC signals sourcing vbus, TCPM sends PS_READY msg and
changes the CC pin from Rd to Rp. This is the end of fast
role swap sequence and TCPM initiates the sequnce to negotiate
explicit contract by transitioning into SRC_STARTUP after
SwapSrcStart.
The code is written based on the sequence described in "Figure 8-107:
Dual-role Port in Sink to Source Fast Role Swap State Diagram" of
USB Power Delivery Specification Revision 3.0, Version 1.2.

Existing kernel code can only recover from a machine check on code that
is tagged in the exception table with a fault handling recovery path.
Add two new fields in the task structure to pass information from
machine check handler to the "task_work" that is queued to run before
the task returns to user mode:
+ mce_vaddr: will be initialized to the user virtual address of the fault
in the case where the fault occurred in the kernel copying data from
a user address. This is so that kill_me_maybe() can provide that
information to the user SIGBUS handler.
+ mce_kflags: copy of the struct mce.kflags needed by kill_me_maybe()
to determine if mce_vaddr is applicable to this error.
Add code to recover from a machine check while copying data from user
space to the kernel. Action for this case is the same as if the user
touched the poison directly; unmap the page and send a SIGBUS to the task.
Use a new helper function to share common code between the "fault
in user mode" case and the "fault while copying from user" case.
New code paths will be activated by the next patch which sets
MCE_IN_KERNEL_COPYIN.

In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast()
implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named
relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what
addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults /
exceptions are handled.
Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle
the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic()
implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this
case:

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either
copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel().
Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the
low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used
as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast
copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch.
One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S
to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies
for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.

Add the HyperFLash driver for the Renesas RPC-IF. It's the "front end"
driver using the "back end" APIs in the main driver to talk to the real
hardware.

Most of the dma_direct symbols should only be used by direct.c and
mapping.c, so move them to kernel/dma. In fact more of dma-direct.h
should eventually move, but that will require more coordination with
other subsystems.

Most of dma-debug.h is not required by anything outside of kernel/dma.
Move the four declarations needed by dma-mappin.h or dma-ops providers
into dma-mapping.h and dma-map-ops.h, and move the remainder of the
file to kernel/dma/debug.h.
