Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.
Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
If not .svg:
For each line:
If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`:
If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
return 200 OK and serve the same content:
Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

Whenever a display update was sent, apart from updating
the memory base address, we called mcde_display_send_one_frame()
which also sent a command to the display requesting the TE IRQ
and enabling the FIFO.
When continuous updates are running this is wrong: we need
to only send this to start the flow to the display on
the very first update. This lead to the display pipeline
locking up and crashing.
Check if the flow is already running and in that case
do not call mcde_display_send_one_frame().
This fixes crashes on the Samsung GT-S7710 (Skomer).

On boe_nv133fhm_n62 (and presumably on boe_nv133fhm_n61) a scope shows
a small spike on the HPD line right when you power the panel on. The
picture looks something like this:
+--------------------------------------
|
|
|
Power ---+
+---
|
++ |
+----+| |
HPD -----+ +---------------------------+
So right when power is applied there's a little bump in HPD and then
there's small spike right before it goes low. The total time of the
little bump plus the spike was measured on one panel as being 8 ms
long. The total time for the HPD to go high on the same panel was
51.2 ms, though the datasheet only promises it is < 200 ms.
When asked about this glitch, BOE indicated that it was expected and
persisted until the TCON has been initialized.
If this was a real hotpluggable DP panel then this wouldn't matter a
whole lot. We'd debounce the HPD signal for a really long time and so
the little blip wouldn't hurt. However, this is not a hotpluggable DP
panel and the the debouncing logic isn't needed and just shows down
the time needed to get the display working. This is why the code in
panel_simple_prepare() doesn't do debouncing and just waits for HPD to
go high once. Unfortunately if we get unlucky and happen to poll the
HPD line right at the spike we can try talking to the panel before
it's ready.
Let's handle this situation by putting in a 15 ms prepare delay and
decreasing the "hpd absent delay" by 15 ms. That means:
* If you don't have HPD hooked up at all you've still got the
hardcoded 200 ms delay.
* If you've got HPD hooked up you will always wait at least 15 ms
before checking HPD. The only case where this could be bad is if
the panel is sharing a voltage rail with something else in the
system and was already turned on long before the panel came up. In
such a case we'll be delaying 15 ms for no reason, but it's not a
huge delay and I don't see any other good solution to handle that
case.
Even though the delay was measured as 8 ms, 15 ms was chosen to give a
bit of margin.

SK Hynix PC400 has a buggy firmware that treats NLB as max value instead
of a range, so the NLB passed isn't a valid value to the firmware.
According to SK hynix there are three commands are affected:
- Write Zeroes
- Compare
- Write Uncorrectable
Right now only Write Zeroes is implemented, so disable it completely on

This uses an un-directed yield to any CPU rather than the directed

These have shown significantly improved performance and fairness when
spinlock contention is moderate to high on very large systems.
With this series including subsequent patches, on a 16 socket 1536
thread POWER9, a stress test such as same-file open/close from all
CPUs gets big speedups, 11620op/s aggregate with simple spinlocks vs
384158op/s (33x faster), where the difference in throughput between
the fastest and slowest thread goes from 7x to 1.4x.
Thanks to the fast path being identical in terms of atomics and
barriers (after a subsequent optimisation patch), single threaded
performance is not changed (no measurable difference).
On smaller systems, performance and fairness seems to be generally
improved. Using dbench on tmpfs as a test (that starts to run into
kernel spinlock contention), a 2-socket OpenPOWER POWER9 system was
tested with bare metal and KVM guest configurations. Results can be
found here:
https://github.com/linuxppc/issues/issues/305#issuecomment-663487453
Observations are:
- Queued spinlocks are equal when contention is insignificant, as
expected and as measured with microbenchmarks.
- When there is contention, on bare metal queued spinlocks have better
throughput and max latency at all points.
- When virtualised, queued spinlocks are slightly worse approaching
peak throughput, but significantly better throughput and max latency
at all points beyond peak, until queued spinlock maximum latency
rises when clients are 2x vCPUs.
The regressions haven't been analysed very well yet, there are a lot
of things that can be tuned, particularly the paravirtualised locking,
but the numbers already look like a good net win even on relatively
small systems.

The noinstr attribute is to be specified before the return type in the
same way 'inline' is used.
Similar cases were recently fixed for x86 in commit 7f6fa101df ("x86:
Correct noinstr qualifiers"), but the generic entry code was based on the
the original version and did not carry the fix over.

To prepare for queued spinlocks. This is a simple rename except to
update preprocessor guard name and a file reference.

These functions will be used by the queued spinlock implementation,
and may be useful elsewhere too, so move them out of spinlock.h.
