In C, bitfields are not necessarily safe to modify from multiple
threads without locking. Switch "dma_coherent" over to the "flags"
field so modifications are safe.

Kernel now supports chained power-off handlers. Use
register_platform_power_off() that registers a platform level power-off
handler. Legacy pm_power_off() will be removed once all drivers and archs
are converted to the new sys-off API.

Use dma-direct unconditionally on arm.  It has already been used for
some time for LPAE and nommu configurations.

This mostly changes the streaming mapping implementation and the (simple)
coherent allocator for device that are DMA coherent.  The existing
complex allocator for uncached mappings for non-coherent devices is still
used as is using the arch_dma_alloc/arch_dma_free hooks.

<id>5d6f52671e76ca2d55d74e676ac4c38ceb14a2d3</id>
<content type='text'>
Choosing big-endian vs little-endian kernels in Kconfig has not worked
correctly since the introduction of CONFIG_ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM a long
time ago.

The problems is that CONFIG_BIG_ENDIAN depends on
ARCH_SUPPORTS_BIG_ENDIAN, which can set by any one platform
in the config, but would actually have to be supported by all
of them.

This was mostly ok for ARMv6/ARMv7 builds, since these are BE8 and
tend to just work aside from problems in nonportable device drivers.
For ARMv4/v5 machines, CONFIG_BIG_ENDIAN and CONFIG_ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
were never set together, so this was disabled on all those machines
except for IXP4xx.

As IXP4xx can now become part of ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM, it seems better to
formalize this logic: all ARMv4/v5 platforms get an explicit dependency
on being either big-endian (ixp4xx) or little-endian (the rest). We may
want to fix ixp4xx in the future to support both, but it does not work
in LE mode at the moment.

For the ARMv6/v7 platforms, there are two ways this could be handled

 a) allow both modes only for platforms selecting
    'ARCH_SUPPORTS_BIG_ENDIAN' today, but only LE mode for the
    others, given that these were added intentionally at some
    point.

 b) allow both modes everwhere, given that it was already possible
    to build that way by e.g. selecting ARCH_VIRT, and that the
    list is not an accurate reflection of which platforms may or
    may not work.

Out of these, I picked b) because it seemed slighly more logical
to me.

<title>arm: remove CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL</title>

<id>5e545df3292fbd3d5963c68980f1527ead2a2b3f</id>
<content type='text'>
ARM is the only architecture that defines CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL
which in turn enables memmap_valid_within() function that is intended to
verify existence  of struct page associated with a pfn when there are holes
in the memory map.

However, the ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL also enables HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID
and arch-specific pfn_valid() implementation that also deals with the holes
in the memory map.

The only two users of memmap_valid_within() call this function after
a call to pfn_valid() so the memmap_valid_within() check becomes redundant.

Remove CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL and memmap_valid_within() and rely
entirely on ARM's implementation of pfn_valid() that is now enabled
unconditionally.

Split out all the bits that are purely for dma_map_ops implementations
and related code into a new &lt;linux/dma-map-ops.h&gt; header so that they
don't get pulled into all the drivers.  That also means the architecture
specific &lt;asm/dma-mapping.h&gt; is not pulled in by &lt;linux/dma-mapping.h&gt;
any more, which leads to a missing includes that were pulled in by the
x86 or arm versions in a few not overly portable drivers.

The LLVM Target parser currently does not allow to specify the security
extension as part of -march (see also LLVM Bug 40186 [0]). When trying
to use Clang with LLVM's integrated assembler, this leads to build
errors such as this:
  clang-8: error: the clang compiler does not support '-Wa,-march=armv7-a+sec'

Use ".arch_extension sec" to enable the security extension in a more
portable fasion. Also make sure to use ".arch armv7-a" in case a v6/v7
multi-platform kernel is being built.

Note that this is technically not exactly the same as the old code
checked for availabilty of the security extension by calling as-instr.
However, there are already other sites which use ".arch_extension sec"
unconditionally, hence de-facto we need an assembler capable of
".arch_extension sec" already today (arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.S). The
arch extension "sec" is available since binutils 2.21 according to
its documentation [1].
