<content type='text'>
Make &lt;asm-generic/local64.h&gt; mandatory in include/asm-generic/Kbuild and
remove all arch/*/include/asm/local64.h arch-specific files since they
only #include &lt;asm-generic/local64.h&gt;.

This fixes build errors on arch/c6x/ and arch/nios2/ for
block/blk-iocost.c.

Build-tested on 21 of 25 arch-es.  (tools problems on the others)

Yes, we could even rename &lt;asm-generic/local64.h&gt; to
&lt;linux/local64.h&gt; and change all #includes to use
&lt;linux/local64.h&gt; instead.

<title>ARM: 9032/1: arm/mm: Convert PUD level pgtable helper macros into functions</title>

Macros used as functions can be problematic from the compiler perspective.
There was a build failure report caused primarily because of non reference
of an argument variable. Hence convert PUD level pgtable helper macros into
functions in order to avoid such problems in the future. In the process, it

fixes the argument variables sequence in set_pud() which probably remained
hidden for being a macro.

Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:
 "We have a handful of new kernel features for 5.11:

   - Support for the contiguous memory allocator.

   - Support for IRQ Time Accounting

   - Support for stack tracing

   - Support for strict /dev/mem

   - Support for kernel section protection

  I'm being a bit conservative on the cutoff for this round due to the
  timing, so this is all the new development I'm going to take for this
  cycle (even if some of it probably normally would have been OK). There
  are, however, some fixes on the list that I will likely be sending
  along either later this week or early next week.

  There is one issue in here: one of my test configurations
  (PREEMPT{,_DEBUG}=y) fails to boot on QEMU 5.0.0 (from April) as of
  the .text.init alignment patch.

  With any luck we'll sort out the issue, but given how many bugs get
  fixed all over the place and how unrelated those features seem my
  guess is that we're just running into something that's been lurking
  for a while and has already been fixed in the newer QEMU (though I
  wouldn't be surprised if it's one of these implicit assumptions we
  have in the boot flow). If it was hardware I'd be strongly inclined to
  look more closely, but given that users can upgrade their simulators
  I'm less worried about it"

Pull TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This sits on top of of the core entry/exit and x86 entry branch from
  the tip tree, which contains the generic and x86 parts of this work.

  Here we convert the rest of the archs to support TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL.

  With that done, we can get rid of JOBCTL_TASK_WORK from task_work and
  signal.c, and also remove a deadlock work-around in io_uring around
  knowing that signal based task_work waking is invoked with the sighand
  wait queue head lock.

  The motivation for this work is to decouple signal notify based
  task_work, of which io_uring is a heavy user of, from sighand. The
  sighand lock becomes a huge contention point, particularly for
  threaded workloads where it's shared between threads. Even outside of
  threaded applications it's slower than it needs to be.

  Roman Gershman &lt;romger@amazon.com&gt; reported that his networked

Pull TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This sits on top of of the core entry/exit and x86 entry branch from
  the tip tree, which contains the generic and x86 parts of this work.

  Here we convert the rest of the archs to support TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL.

  With that done, we can get rid of JOBCTL_TASK_WORK from task_work and
  signal.c, and also remove a deadlock work-around in io_uring around
  knowing that signal based task_work waking is invoked with the sighand
  wait queue head lock.

  The motivation for this work is to decouple signal notify based
  task_work, of which io_uring is a heavy user of, from sighand. The
  sighand lock becomes a huge contention point, particularly for
  threaded workloads where it's shared between threads. Even outside of
  threaded applications it's slower than it needs to be.

Pull asm-generic cross-architecture timer cleanup from Arnd Bergmann:
 "This cleans up two ancient timer features that were never completed in
  the past, CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS and CONFIG_ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET.

  There was only one user left for the ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET variant
  of clocksource implementations, the ARM EBSA110 platform. Rather than
  changing to use modern timekeeping, we remove the platform entirely as
  Russell no longer uses his machine and nobody else seems to have one
  any more.

  The conditional code for using arch_gettimeoffset() is removed as a
  result.

  For CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, there are still a couple of platforms
  not using clockevent drivers: parisc, ia64, most of m68k, and one Arm
  platform. These all do timer ticks slighly differently, and this gets
  cleaned up to the point they at least all call the same helper
  function.

  Instead of most platforms using 'select GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS' in
  Kconfig, the polarity is now reversed, with the few remaining ones
  selecting LEGACY_TIMER_TICK instead"
