Include linux/io.h instead of asm/io.h everywhere. linux/io.h includes asm/io.h, so this shouldn't cause any problems. Instead this might help for some randconfig build errors which were reported due to some undefined io related functions.
Also move the changed include so it stays grouped together with other includes from the same directory.
For ctcm_mpc.c also remove not needed comments (actually questions).

This is the s390 version of commit 40576e5e63ea ("x86: alternative.h: use asm_inline for all alternative variants").
See commit eb111869301e ("compiler-types.h: add asm_inline definition") for more details.
With this change the compiler will not generate many out-of-line versions for the three instruction sized arch_spin_unlock() function anymore. Due to this gcc seems to change a lot of other inline decisions which results in a net 6k text size growth according to bloat-o-meter (gcc 9.2 with defconfig). But that's still better than having many out-of-line versions of arch_spin_unlock().

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()
Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.
For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in churn.
However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following coccinelle script:
---- // Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and // WRITE_ONCE()
// $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch

s390/rwlock: introduce rwlock wait queueing
Like the common queued rwlock code the s390 implementation uses the queued spinlock code on a spinlock_t embedded in the rwlock_t to achieve the queueing. The encoding of the rwlock_t differs though, the counter field in the rwlock_t is split into two parts. The upper two bytes hold the write bit and the write wait counter, the lower two bytes hold the read counter.
The arch_read_lock operation works exactly like the common qrwlock but the enqueue operation for a writer follows a diffent logic. After the failed inline try to get the rwlock in write, the writer first increases the write wait counter, acquires the wait spin_lock for the queueing, and then loops until there are no readers and the write bit is zero. Without the write wait counter a CPU that just released the rwlock could immediately reacquire the lock in the inline code, bypassing all outstanding read and write waiters. For s390 this would cause massive imbalances in favour of writers in case of a contended rwlock.

s390/spinlock: introduce spinlock wait queueing
The queued spinlock code for s390 follows the principles of the common code qspinlock implementation but with a few notable differences.
The format of the spinlock_t locking word differs, s390 needs to store the logical CPU number of the lock holder in the spinlock_t to be able to use the diagnose 9c directed yield hypervisor call.
The inline code sequences for spin_lock and spin_unlock are nice and short. The inline portion of a spin_lock now typically looks like this:
lhi %r0,0 # 0 indicates an empty lock l %r1,0x3a0 # CPU number + 1 from lowcore cs %r0,%r1,<some_lock> # lock operation jnz call_wait # on failure call wait function locked: ... call_wait: la %r2,<some_lock> brasl %r14,arch_spin_lock_wait j locked
A spin_unlock is as simple as before:
lhi %r0,0 sth %r0,2(%r2) # unlock operation
After a CPU has queued itself it may not enable interrupts again for the arch_spin_lock_flags() variant. The arch_spin_lock_wait_flags wait function is removed.
To improve performance the code implements opportunistic lock stealing. If the wait function finds a spinlock_t that indicates that the lock is free but there are queued waiters, the CPU may steal the lock up to three times without queueing itself. The lock stealing update the steal counter in the lock word to prevent more than 3 steals. The counter is reset at the time the CPU next in the queue successfully takes the lock.
While the queued spinlocks improve performance in a system with dedicated CPUs, in a virtualized environment with continuously overcommitted CPUs the queued spinlocks can have a negative effect on performance. This is due to the fact that a queued CPU that is preempted by the hypervisor will block the queue at some point even without holding the lock. With the classic spinlock it does not matter if a CPU is preempted that waits for the lock. Therefore use the queued spinlock code only if the system runs with dedicated CPUs and fall back to classic spinlocks when running with shared CPUs.

The z14 machine introduces new mode of the next-instruction-access-intent NIAI instruction. With NIAI-8 it is possible to pin a cache-line on a CPU for a small amount of time, NIAI-7 releases the cache-line again. Finally NIAI-4 can be used to prevent the CPU to speculatively access memory beyond the compare-and-swap instruction to get the lock.
Use these instruction in the spinlock code.

s390: Audit and remove any remaining unnecessary uses of module.h
Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends. That changed when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.
This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig. The advantage in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers; adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what headers we are effectively using.
Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each change instance for the presence of either and replace as needed. An instance where module_param was used without moduleparam.h was also fixed, as well as implicit use of ptrace.h and string.h headers.

s390/spinlock: avoid yield to non existent cpu
arch_spin_lock_wait_flags() checks if a spinlock is not held before trying a compare and swap instruction. If the lock is unlocked it tries the compare and swap instruction, however if a different cpu grabbed the lock in the meantime the instruction will fail as expected.
Subsequently the arch_spin_lock_wait_flags() incorrectly tries to figure out if the cpu that holds the lock is running. However it is using the wrong cpu number for this (-1) and then will also yield the current cpu to the wrong cpu.
Fix this by adding a missing continue statement.

It does not make sense to try to relinquish the time slice with diag 0x9c to a CPU in a state that does not allow to schedule the CPU. The scenario where this can happen is a CPU waiting in udelay/mdelay while holding a spin-lock.

s390/spinlock: avoid diagnose loop
The spinlock implementation calls the diagnose 0x9c / 0x44 immediately if the SIGP sense running reported the target CPU as not running.
The diagnose 0x9c is a hint to the hypervisor to schedule the target CPU in preference to the source CPU that issued the diagnose. It can happen that on return from the diagnose the target CPU has not been scheduled yet, e.g. if the target logical CPU is on another physical CPU and the hypervisor did not want to migrate the logical CPU.
Avoid the immediate repeat of the diagnose instruction, instead do the retry loop before the next invocation of diagnose 0x9c.
