Merge tag 'block-ioctl-cleanup-5.6' into 5.6/scsi-queue

Pull compat_ioctl cleanup from Arnd. Here's his description:

This series concludes the work I did for linux-5.5 on the compat_ioctl()
cleanup, killing off fs/compat_ioctl.c and block/compat_ioctl.c by moving
everything into drivers.

Overall this would be a reduction both in complexity and line count, but
as I'm also adding documentation the overall number of lines increases
in the end.

My plan was originally to keep the SCSI and block parts separate.
This did not work easily because of interdependencies: I cannot
do the final SCSI cleanup in a good way without first addressing the
CDROM ioctls, so this is one series that I hope could be merged through
either the block or the scsi git trees, or possibly both if you can
pull in the same branch.

The series comes in these steps:

1. clean up the sg v3 interface as suggested by Linus. I have
talked about this with Doug Gilbert as well, and he would
rebase his sg v4 patches on top of "compat: scsi: sg: fix v3
compat read/write interface"

2. Actually moving handlers out of block/compat_ioctl.c and
block/scsi_ioctl.c into drivers, mixed in with cleanup
patches

3. Document how to do this right. I keep getting asked about this,
and it helps to point to some documentation file.

The branch is based on another one that fixes a couple of bugs found
during the creation of this series.

Merge tag 'cpuidle_psci-v5.5-rc4' of git://git.linaro.org/people/ulf.hansson/linux-pm into arm/drivers

Initial support for hierarchical CPU arrangement, managed by PSCI and its
corresponding cpuidle driver. This support is based upon using the generic
PM domain, which already supports devices belonging to CPUs.

Merge tag 'y2038-alsa-v8-signed' of git://git.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/playground into for-next

ALSA: Fix year 2038 issue for sound subsystem

This is a series I worked on with Baolin in 2017 and 2018, but we
never quite managed to finish up the last pieces. During the
ALSA developer meetup at ELC-E 2018 in Edinburgh, a decision was
made to go with this approach for keeping best compatibility
with existing source code, and then I failed to follow up by
resending the patches.

Now I have patches for all remaining time_t uses in the kernel,
so it's absolutely time to revisit them. I have done more
review of the patches myself and found a couple of minor issues
that I have fixed up, otherwise the series is still the same as
before.

Conceptually, the idea of these patches is:

- 64-bit applications should see no changes at all, neither
compile-time nor run-time.

- 32-bit code compiled with a 64-bit time_t currently
does not work with ALSA, and requires kernel changes and/or
sound/asound.h changes

- Most 32-bit code using these interfaces will work correctly
on a modified kernel, with or without the uapi header changes.

- 32-bit code using SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_TREAD requires the
updated header file for 64-bit time_t support

- 32-bit i386 user space with 64-bit time_t is broken for
SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_STATUS, SNDRV_RAWMIDI_IOCTL_STATUS and
SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_SYNC_PTR because of i386 alignment. This is also
addressed by the updated uapi header.

- PCM mmap is currently supported on native x86 kernels
(both 32-bit and 64-bit) but not for compat mode. This series breaks
the 32-bit native mmap support for 32-bit time_t, but instead allows
it for 64-bit time_t on both native and compat kernels. This seems to
be the best trade-off, as mmap support is optional already, and most
32-bit code runs in compat mode anyway.

- I've tried to avoid breaking compilation of 32-bit code
as much as possible. Anything that does break however is likely code
that is already broken on 64-bit time_t and needs source changes to
fix them.

We made the error message for the CORB/RIRB communication clearer by

ALSA: hda: Unify get_response handling

Now most of the get_response handling became quite similar between
HDA-core and legacy drivers, and the only differences are:

- the handling of extra-long polling delay for some codecs
- the debug message for the stalled communication

and both are worth to share in the common code.

This patch unifies the code into snd_hdac_bus_get_response(), and use
this from the legacy get_response callback. It results in a good
amount of code reduction in the end.

ALSA: hda: Use standard waitqueue for RIRB wakeup

The HD-audio CORB/RIRB communication was programmed in a way that was
documented in the reference in decades ago, which is essentially a
polling in the waiter side. It's working fine but costs CPU cycles on
some platforms that support only slow communications. Also, for some
platforms that had unreliable communications, we put longer wait time
(2 ms), which accumulate quite long time if you execute many verbs in
a shot (e.g. at the initialization or resume phase).

This patch attempts to improve the situation by introducing the
standard waitqueue in the RIRB waiter side instead of polling. The
test results on my machine show significant improvements. The time
spent for "cat /proc/asound/card*/codec#*" were changed like:

* Intel SKL + Realtek codec
before the patch:
0.00user 0.04system 0:00.10elapsed 40.0%CPU
after the patch:
0.00user 0.01system 0:00.10elapsed 10.0%CPU

* Nvidia GP107GL + Nvidia HDMI codec
before the patch:
0.00user 0.00system 0:02.76elapsed 0.0%CPU
after the patch:
0.00user 0.00system 0:00.01elapsed 17.0%CPU

So, for Intel chips, the total time is same, while the total time is
greatly reduced (from 2.76 to 0.01s) for Nvidia chips.
The only negative data here is the increase of CPU time for Nvidia,
but this is the unavoidable cost for faster wakeups, supposedly.
