The <linux/pgtable.h> header defines some generic pgprot_*
implementations, but they are only available when CONFIG_MMU is enabled.
The RISC-V architecture, for example, therefore defines some of these
pgprot_* macros for !NOMMU.
Let's make the pgprot_* generic available even for !NOMMU so we can
remove the RISC-V specific definitions.
Compile-tested with x86 defconfig, and riscv defconfig and !MMU defconfig.

Nowadays, modern kernel subsystems that use callbacks pass the data
structure associated with a given callback as argument to the callback.
The tasklet subsystem remains one which passes an arbitrary unsigned
long to the callback function. This has several problems:
- This keeps an extra field for storing the argument in each tasklet
data structure, it bloats the tasklet_struct structure with a redundant
.data field
- No type checking can be performed on this argument. Instead of
using container_of() like other callback subsystems, it forces callbacks
to do explicit type cast of the unsigned long argument into the required
object type.
- Buffer overflows can overwrite the .func and the .data field, so
an attacker can easily overwrite the function and its first argument
to whatever it wants.
Add a new tasklet initialization API, via DECLARE_TASKLET() and
tasklet_setup(), which will replace the existing ones.
This work is greatly inspired by the timer_struct conversion series,
see commit e99e88a9d2 ("treewide: setup_timer() -> timer_setup()")
To avoid problems with both -Wcast-function-type (which is enabled in
the kernel via -Wextra is several subsystems), and with mismatched
function prototypes when build with Control Flow Integrity enabled,
this adds the "use_callback" member to let the tasklet caller choose
which union member to call through. Once all old API uses are removed,
this and the .data member will be removed as well. (On 64-bit this does
not grow the struct size as the new member fills the hole after atomic_t,
which is also "int" sized.)

Daniel Díaz and Kees Cook independently reported that commit
f227e3ec3b ("random32: update the net random state on interrupt and
activity") broke arm64 due to a circular dependency on include files
since the addition of percpu.h in random.h.
The correct fix would definitely be to move all the prandom32 stuff out
of random.h but for backporting, a smaller solution is preferred.
This one replaces linux/percpu.h with asm/percpu.h, and this fixes the
problem on x86_64, arm64, arm, and mips. Note that moving percpu.h
around didn't change anything and that removing it entirely broke
differently. When backporting, such options might still be considered
if this patch fails to help.
[ It turns out that an alternate fix seems to be to just remove the
troublesome <asm/pointer_auth.h> remove from the arm64 <asm/smp.h>
that causes the circular dependency.
But we might as well do the whole belt-and-suspenders thing, and
minimize inclusion in <linux/random.h> too. Either will fix the
problem, and both are good changes. - Linus ]

Until now, the devfreq driver using polling mode like simple_ondemand
governor have used only deferrable timer for reducing the redundant
power consumption. It reduces the CPU wake-up from idle due to polling mode
which check the status of Non-CPU device.
But, it has a problem for Non-CPU device like DMC device with DMA operation.
Some Non-CPU device need to do monitor continuously regardless of CPU state
in order to decide the proper next status of Non-CPU device.
So, add support the delayed timer for polling mode to support
the repetitive monitoring. The devfreq driver and user can select
the kind of timer on either deferrable and delayed timer.
For example, change the timer type of DMC device
based on Exynos5422-based Odroid-XU3 as following:
- If want to use deferrable timer as following:
echo deferrable > /sys/class/devfreq/10c20000.memory-controller/timer
- If want to use delayed timer as following:
echo delayed > /sys/class/devfreq/10c20000.memory-controller/timer

Note that depending on some network devices' interrupt rate moderation
or binding, this re-seeding might happen on every packet or even almost
never.
In addition, with NOHZ some CPUs might not even get timer interrupts,
leaving their local state rarely updated, while they are running
networked processes making use of the random state. For this reason, we
also perform this update in update_process_times() in order to at least
update the state when there is user or system activity, since it's the

Some platforms can be designed in a way so the UART port reference clock
might be asynchronously changed at some point. In Baikal-T1 SoC this may
happen due to the reference clock being shared between two UART ports, on
the Allwinner SoC the reference clock is derived from the CPU clock, so
any CPU frequency change should get to be known/reflected by/in the UART
controller as well. But it's not enough to just update the
uart_port->uartclk field of the corresponding UART port, the 8250
controller reference clock divisor should be altered so to preserve
current baud rate setting. All of these things is done in a coherent
way by calling the serial8250_update_uartclk() method provided in this

A sequence counter write side critical section must be protected by some
form of locking to serialize writers. If the serialization primitive is
not disabling preemption implicitly, preemption has to be explicitly
disabled before entering the sequence counter write side critical
section.
The dma-buf reservation subsystem uses plain sequence counters to manage
updates to reservations. Writer serialization is accomplished through a
wound/wait mutex.
Acquiring a wound/wait mutex does not disable preemption, so this needs
to be done manually before and after the write side critical section.
Use the newly-added seqcount_ww_mutex_t instead:
- It associates the ww_mutex with the sequence count, which enables
lockdep to validate that the write side critical section is properly
serialized.
- It removes the need to explicitly add preempt_disable/enable()
around the write side critical section because the write_begin/end()
functions for this new data type automatically do this.
If lockdep is disabled this ww_mutex lock association is compiled out
and has neither storage size nor runtime overhead.

Commit 3c3b177a93 ("reservation: add support for read-only access
using rcu") introduced a sequence counter to manage updates to
reservations. Back then, the reservation object initializer
reservation_object_init() was always inlined.
Having the sequence counter initialization inlined meant that each of
the call sites would have a different lockdep class key, which would've
broken lockdep's deadlock detection. The aforementioned commit thus
introduced, and exported, a custom seqcount lockdep class key and name.
The commit 8735f16803 ("dma-buf: cleanup reservation_object_init...")
transformed the reservation object initializer to a normal non-inlined C
function. seqcount_init(), which automatically defines the seqcount
lockdep class key and must be called non-inlined, can now be safely used.
Remove the seqcount custom lockdep class key, name, and export. Use
seqcount_init() inside the dma reservation object initializer.

A sequence counter write side critical section must be protected by some
form of locking to serialize writers. If the serialization primitive is
not disabling preemption implicitly, preemption has to be explicitly
disabled before entering the write side critical section.
There is no built-in debugging mechanism to verify that the lock used
for writer serialization is held and preemption is disabled. Some usage
sites like dma-buf have explicit lockdep checks for the writer-side
lock, but this covers only a small portion of the sequence counter usage
in the kernel.
Add new sequence counter types which allows to associate a lock to the
sequence counter at initialization time. The seqcount API functions are
extended to provide appropriate lockdep assertions depending on the
seqcount/lock type.
For sequence counters with associated locks that do not implicitly
disable preemption, preemption protection is enforced in the sequence
counter write side functions. This removes the need to explicitly add
preempt_disable/enable() around the write side critical sections: the
write_begin/end() functions for these new sequence counter types
automatically do this.
Introduce the following seqcount types with associated locks:
seqcount_spinlock_t
seqcount_raw_spinlock_t
seqcount_rwlock_t
seqcount_mutex_t
seqcount_ww_mutex_t
Extend the seqcount read and write functions to branch out to the
specific seqcount_LOCKTYPE_t implementation at compile-time. This avoids
kernel API explosion per each new seqcount_LOCKTYPE_t added. Add such
compile-time type detection logic into a new, internal, seqlock header.
Document the proper seqcount_LOCKTYPE_t usage, and rationale, at
Documentation/locking/seqlock.rst.

Asserting that preemption is enabled or disabled is a critical sanity
check. Developers are usually reluctant to add such a check in a
fastpath as reading the preemption count can be costly.
Extend the lockdep API with macros asserting that preemption is disabled

The seqlock.h seqcount_t and seqlock_t API definitions are presented in
the chronological order of their development rather than the order that
makes most sense to readers. This makes it hard to follow and understand
the header file code.
Group and reorder all of the exported seqlock.h functions according to
their function.
First, group together the seqcount_t standard read path functions:
- __read_seqcount_begin()
- raw_read_seqcount_begin()
- read_seqcount_begin()
since each function is implemented exactly in terms of the one above
it. Then, group the special-case seqcount_t readers on their own as:
- raw_read_seqcount()
- raw_seqcount_begin()
since the only difference between the two functions is that the second
one masks the sequence counter LSB while the first one does not. Note
that raw_seqcount_begin() can actually be implemented in terms of
raw_read_seqcount(), which will be done in a follow-up commit.
Then, group the seqcount_t write path functions, instead of injecting
unrelated seqcount_t latch functions between them, and order them as:
- raw_write_seqcount_begin()
- raw_write_seqcount_end()
- write_seqcount_begin_nested()
- write_seqcount_begin()
- write_seqcount_end()
- raw_write_seqcount_barrier()
- write_seqcount_invalidate()
which is the expected natural order. This also isolates the seqcount_t
latch functions into their own area, at the end of the sequence counters
section, and before jumping to the next one: sequential locks
(seqlock_t).
Do a similar grouping and reordering for seqlock_t "locking" readers vs.
the "conditionally locking or lockless" ones.
No implementation code was changed in any of the reordering above.

already contains the same logic of an smp memory barrier and sequence
counter comparison.
End the latch read critical section example with read_seqcount_retry().

Align the code samples and note sections inside kernel-doc comments with
tabs. This way they can be properly parsed and rendered by Sphinx. It
also makes the code samples easier to read from text editors.

Proper documentation for the design and usage of sequence counters and
sequential locks does not exist. Complete the seqlock.h documentation as
follows:
- Divide all documentation on a seqcount_t vs. seqlock_t basis. The
description for both mechanisms was intermingled, which is incorrect
since the usage constrains for each type are vastly different.
- Add an introductory paragraph describing the internal design of, and
rationale for, sequence counters.
- Document seqcount_t writer non-preemptibility requirement, which was
not previously documented anywhere, and provide a clear rationale.
- Provide template code for seqcount_t and seqlock_t initialization
and reader/writer critical sections.
- Recommend using seqlock_t by default. It implicitly handles the
serialization and non-preemptibility requirements of writers.
At seqlock.h:
- Remove references to brlocks as they've long been removed from the
kernel.
- Remove references to gcc-3.x since the kernel's minimum supported
gcc version is 4.9.

This patch moves ATOMIC_INIT from asm/atomic.h into linux/types.h.
This allows users of atomic_t to use ATOMIC_INIT without having to
include atomic.h as that way may lead to header loops.

Some architectures may have special memory regions, within the given
memory range, which can't be used for the buffer in a kexec segment.
Implement weak arch_kexec_locate_mem_hole() definition which arch code
may override, to take care of special regions, while trying to locate
a memory hole.
Also, add the missing declarations for arch overridable functions and
and drop the __weak descriptors in the declarations to avoid non-weak
definitions from becoming weak.
