Commit 0515e5999a466dfe ("bpf: introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT
program type") introduced the bpf_perf_event_data structure which
exports the pt_regs structure.  This is OK for multiple architectures
but fail for s390 and arm64 which do not export pt_regs.  Programs
using them, for example, the bpf selftest fail to compile on these
architectures.

For s390, exporting the pt_regs is not an option because s390 wants
to allow changes to it.  For arm64, there is a user_pt_regs structure
that covers parts of the pt_regs structure for use by user space.

To solve the broken uapi for s390 and arm64, introduce an abstract
type for pt_regs and add an asm/bpf_perf_event.h file that concretes
the type.  An asm-generic header file covers the architectures that
export pt_regs today.

The arch-specific enablement for s390 and arm64 follows in separate
commits.

<title>kmemcheck: remove annotations</title>

Patch series "kmemcheck: kill kmemcheck", v2.

As discussed at LSF/MM, kill kmemcheck.

KASan is a replacement that is able to work without the limitation of
kmemcheck (single CPU, slow).  KASan is already upstream.

We are also not aware of any users of kmemcheck (or users who don't
consider KASan as a suitable replacement).

The only objection was that since KASAN wasn't supported by all GCC
versions provided by distros at that time we should hold off for 2
years, and try again.

Now that 2 years have passed, and all distros provide gcc that supports
KASAN, kill kmemcheck again for the very same reasons.

This patch (of 4):

Remove kmemcheck annotations, and calls to kmemcheck from the kernel.

Pull OpenRISC updates from Stafford Horne:
 "The OpenRISC work is a bit more interesting this time, adding SMP
  support and a few general cleanups.

  Small Things:

   - Move OpenRISC docs into Documentation and clean them up

   - Document previously undocumented devicetree bindings

   - Update the or1ksim dts to use stdout-path

  OpenRISC SMP support details:

   - First the "use shadow registers" and "define CPU_BIG_ENDIAN as
     true" get the architecture ready for SMP.

   - The "add 1 and 2 byte cmpxchg support" and "use qspinlocks and
     qrwlocks" add the SMP locking infrastructure as needed. Using the
     qspinlocks and qrwlocks as suggested by Peter Z while reviewing the
     original spinlocks implementation.

   - The "support for ompic" adds a new irqchip device which is used for
     IPI communication to support SMP.

   - The "initial SMP support" adds smp.c and makes changes to all of
     the necessary data-structures to be per-cpu.

  The remaining patches are bug fixes and debug helpers which I wanted
  to keep separate from the "initial SMP support" in order to allow them
  to be reviewed on their own. This includes:

   - add cacheflush support to fix icache aliasing

   - fix initial preempt state for secondary cpu tasks

   - sleep instead of spin on secondary wait

   - support framepointers and STACKTRACE_SUPPORT

   - enable LOCKDEP_SUPPORT and irqflags tracing

   - timer sync: Add tick timer sync logic

   - fix possible deadlock in timer sync, pointed out by mips guys

  Note: the irqchip patch was reviewed with Marc and we agreed to push
  it together with these patches"

In case timers are not in sync when cpus start (i.e. hot plug / offset
resets) we need to synchronize the secondary cpus internal timer with
the main cpu.  This is needed as in OpenRISC SMP there is only one
clocksource registered which reads from the same ttcr register on each
cpu.

This synchronization routine heavily borrows from mips implementation that
does something similar.

For lockdep support a reliable stack trace mechanism is needed.  This
patch adds support in OpenRISC for the stacktrace framework, implemented
by a simple unwinder api.  The unwinder api supports both framepointer
and basic stack tracing.

The unwinder is now used to replace the stack_dump() implementation as
well. The new traces are inline with other architectures trace format:

 Call trace:

On OpenRISC the icache does not snoop data stores.  This can cause
aliasing as reported by Jan. This patch fixes the issue to ensure icache
is properly synchronized when code is written to memory.  It supports both
SMP and UP flushing.

This supports dcache flush as well for architectures that do not support
write-through caches; most OpenRISC implementations do implement
write-through cache however. Dcache flushes are done only on a single
core as OpenRISC dcaches all support snooping of bus stores.

During SMP testing we were getting the below warning after booting the
secondary cpu:

[    0.060000] BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/1/0/0x00000000

This change follows similar patterns from other architectures to start
the schduler with preempt disabled.

This patch introduces the SMP support for the OpenRISC architecture.
The SMP architecture requires cores which have multi-core features which
have been introduced a few years back including:

 - New SPRS SPR_COREID SPR_NUMCORES
 - Shadow SPRs
 - Atomic Instructions
 - Cache Coherency
 - A wired in IPI controller

This patch adds all of the SMP specific changes to core infrastructure,
it looks big but it needs to go all together as its hard to split this
one up.

Boot loader spinning of second cpu is not supported yet, it's assumed
that Linux is booted straight after cpu reset.

The bulk of these changes are trivial changes to refactor to use per cpu
data structures throughout.  The addition of the smp.c and changes in
time.c are the changes.  Some specific notes:

MM changes
----------
The reason why this is created as an array, and not with DEFINE_PER_CPU
is that doing it this way, we'll save a load in the tlb-miss handler
(the load from __per_cpu_offset).

TLB Flush
---------
The SMP implementation of flush_tlb_* works by sending out a
function-call IPI to all the non-local cpus by using the generic
on_each_cpu() function.

Currently, all flush_tlb_* functions will result in a flush_tlb_all(),
which has always been the behaviour in the UP case.

CPU INFO
--------
This creates a per cpu cpuinfo struct and fills it out accordingly for
each activated cpu.  show_cpuinfo is also updated to reflect new version
information in later versions of the spec.

SMP API
-------
This imitates the arm64 implementation by having a smp_cross_call
callback that can be set by set_smp_cross_call to initiate an IPI and a
handle_IPI function that is expected to be called from an IPI irqchip
driver.

<title>openrisc: add 1 and 2 byte cmpxchg support</title>

OpenRISC only supports hardware instructions that perform 4 byte atomic
operations.  For enabling qrwlocks for upcoming SMP support 1 and 2 byte
implementations are needed.  To do this we leverage the 4 byte atomic
operations and shift/mask the 1 and 2 byte areas as needed.

This heavily borrows ideas and routines from sh and mips, which do
something similar.
