arm64/sysreg: Enable automatic generation of system register definitions

Now that we have a script for generating system registers hook it up to the
build system similarly to cpucaps. Since we don't currently have any actual
register information in the input file this should produce no change in the
built kernel. For ease of review the register information will be converted
in separate patches.

parport_pc: Also enable driver for PCI systems

Nowadays PC-style parallel ports come in the form of PCI and PCIe option
cards and there are some combined parallel/serial option cards as well
that we handle in the parport subsystem. There is nothing in particular
that would prevent them from being used in any system equipped with PCI
or PCIe connectivity, except that we do not permit the PARPORT_PC config
option to be selected for platforms for which ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_PARPORT
has not been set for.

The only PCI platforms that actually can't make use of PC-style parallel
port hardware are those newer PCIe systems that have no support for I/O
cycles in the host bridge, required by such parallel ports. Notably,
this includes the s390 arch, which has port I/O accessors that cause
compilation warnings (promoted to errors with `-Werror'), and there are
other cases such as the POWER9 PHB4 device, though this one has variable
port I/O accessors that depend on the particular system. Also it is not
clear whether the serial port side of devices enabled by PARPORT_SERIAL
uses port I/O or MMIO. Finally Super I/O solutions are always either
ISA or platform devices.

Make the PARPORT_PC option selectable also for PCI systems then, except
for the s390 arch, however limit the availability of PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO
to platforms that enable ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_PARPORT. Update platforms
accordingly for the required <asm/parport.h> header.

set_memory: allow querying whether set_direct_map_*() is actually enabled

On arm64, set_direct_map_*() functions may return 0 without actually
changing the linear map. This behaviour can be controlled using kernel
parameters, so we need a way to determine at runtime whether calls to
set_direct_map_invalid_noflush() and set_direct_map_default_noflush() have
any effect.

Extend set_memory API with can_set_direct_map() function that allows
checking if calling set_direct_map_*() will actually change the page
table, replace several occurrences of open coded checks in arm64 with the
new function and provide a generic stub for architectures that always
modify page tables upon calls to set_direct_map APIs.

arm64: Generate cpucaps.h

The arm64 code allocates an internal constant to every CPU feature it can
detect, distinct from the public hwcap numbers we use to expose some
features to userspace. Currently this is maintained manually which is an
irritating source of conflicts when working on new features, to avoid this
replace the header with a simple text file listing the names we've assigned
and sort it to minimise conflicts.

As part of doing this we also do the Kbuild hookup required to hook up
an arch tools directory and to generate header files in there.

This will result in a renumbering and reordering of the existing constants,
since they are all internal only the values should not be important. The
reordering will impact the order in which some steps in enumeration handle
features but the algorithm is not intended to depend on this and I haven't
seen any issues when testing. Due to the UAO cpucap having been removed in
the past we end up with ARM64_NCAPS being 1 smaller than it was before.

it for arm64 and MIPS. Add a new architecture specific asm/kvm_types.h
to control the existence and parameters of the struct. The new header
is needed to avoid a chicken-and-egg problem with asm/kvm_host.h as all
architectures define instances of the struct in their vCPU structs.

Add an asm-generic version of kvm_types.h to avoid having empty files on
PPC and s390 in the long term, and for arm64 and mips in the short term.

[2] Every architecture (except um) either has its own implementation
(arch/*/include/asm/*.h) or specifies it as generic-y in

This commit was generated by the following shell script.

----------------------------------->8-----------------------------------

tmpfile=$(mktemp)

grep "^mandatory-y +=" include/asm-generic/Kbuild > $tmpfile

done
fi

done

sed -i '/^mandatory-y +=/d' include/asm-generic/Kbuild

LANG=C sort $tmpfile >> include/asm-generic/Kbuild

----------------------------------->8-----------------------------------

One obvious benefit is the diff stat:

25 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 557 deletions(-)

It is tedious to list generic-y for each arch that needs it.

So, mandatory-y works like a fallback default (by just wrapping
asm-generic one) when arch does not have a specific header
implementation.

See the following commits:

def3f7cefe4e81c296090e1722a76551142c227c
a1b39bae16a62ce4aae02d958224f19316d98b24

It is tedious to convert headers one by one, so I processed by a shell
script.

locking/rwsem: Remove arch specific rwsem files

As the generic rwsem-xadd code is using the appropriate acquire and
release versions of the atomic operations, the arch specific rwsem.h
files will not be that much faster than the generic code as long as the
atomic functions are properly implemented. So we can remove those arch
specific rwsem.h and stop building asm/rwsem.h to reduce maintenance
effort.

Currently, only x86, alpha and ia64 have implemented architecture
specific fast paths. I don't have access to alpha and ia64 systems for
testing, but they are legacy systems that are not likely to be updated
to the latest kernel anyway.

By using a rwsem microbenchmark, the total locking rates on a 4-socket
56-core 112-thread x86-64 system before and after the patch were as
follows (mixed means equal # of read and write locks):

Before Patch After Patch
# of Threads wlock rlock mixed wlock rlock mixed
------------ ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----
1 29,201 30,143 29,458 28,615 30,172 29,201
2 6,807 13,299 1,171 7,725 15,025 1,804
4 6,504 12,755 1,520 7,127 14,286 1,345
8 6,762 13,412 764 6,826 13,652 726
16 6,693 15,408 662 6,599 15,938 626
32 6,145 15,286 496 5,549 15,487 511
64 5,812 15,495 60 5,858 15,572 60

There were some run-to-run variations for the multi-thread tests. For
x86-64, using the generic C code fast path seems to be a little bit
faster than the assembly version with low lock contention. Looking at
the assembly version of the fast paths, there are assembly to/from C
code wrappers that save and restore all the callee-clobbered registers
(7 registers on x86-64). The assembly generated from the generic C
code doesn't need to do that. That may explain the slight performance
gain here.

The generic asm rwsem.h can also be merged into kernel/locking/rwsem.h
with no code change as no other code other than those under
kernel/locking needs to access the internal rwsem macros and functions.

The asm-generic/preempt.h implementation doesn't make use of the

architectures which rely on the preempt_count word being unchanged across

However, since we're a 64-bit architecture and the preempt count is
only 32 bits wide, we can simply pack it next to the resched flag and
load the whole thing in one go, so that a dec-and-test operation doesn't
need to load twice.

arm64: locking: Replace ticket lock implementation with qspinlock

It's fair to say that our ticket lock has served us well over time, but
it's time to bite the bullet and start using the generic qspinlock code
so we can make use of explicit MCS queuing and potentially better PV
performance in future.

arm64: neon: replace generic definition of may_use_simd()

In preparation of modifying the logic that decides whether kernel mode
NEON is allowable, which is required for SVE support, introduce an
implementation of may_use_simd() that reflects the current reality, i.e.,
that SIMD is allowed in any context.

arm64: move generic-y of exported headers to uapi/asm/Kbuild

Since commit fcc8487d477a ("uapi: export all headers under uapi
directories"), all (and only) headers under uapi directories are
exported, but asm-generic wrappers are still exceptions.

To complete de-coupling the uapi from kernel headers, move generic-y
of exported headers to uapi/asm/Kbuild.

With this change, "make headers_install" will just need to parse
uapi/asm/Kbuild to build up exported headers.

For arm64, "generic-y += kvm_para.h" is doubled in asm/Kbuild and
uapi/asm/Kbuild. So, the one in the former can be simply removed.

treewide: move set_memory_* functions away from cacheflush.h

Patch series "set_memory_* functions header refactor", v3.

The set_memory_* APIs came out of a desire to have a better way to
change memory attributes. Many of these attributes were linked to cache
functionality so the prototypes were put in cacheflush.h. These days,
the APIs have grown and have a much wider use than just cache APIs. To
support this growth, split off set_memory_* and friends into a separate
header file to avoid growing cacheflush.h for APIs that have nothing to
do with caches.
