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.

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 DeviceTree updates from Rob Herring:
 "A bigger diffstat than usual with the kbuild changes and a tree wide
  fix in the binding documentation.

  Summary:

   - kbuild cleanups and improvements for dtbs

   - Code clean-up of overlay code and fixing for some long standing
     memory leak and race condition in applying overlays

   - Improvements to DT memory usage making sysfs/kobjects optional and
     skipping unflattening of disabled nodes. This is part of kernel
     tinification efforts.

   - Final piece of removing storing the full path for every DT node.
     The prerequisite conversion of printk's to use device_node format
     specifier happened in 4.14.

   - Sync with current upstream dtc. This brings additional checks to
     dtb compiling.

   - Binding doc tree wide removal of leading 0s from examples

   - RTC binding documentation adding missing devices and some
     consolidation of duplicated bindings

   - Vendor prefix documentation for nutsboard, Silicon Storage
     Technology, shimafuji, Tecon Microprocessor Technologies, DH
     electronics GmbH, Opal Kelly, and Next Thing"

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"

We need to add "clean-files" in Makfiles to clean up DT blobs, but we
often miss to do so.

Since there are no source files that end with .dtb or .dtb.S, so we
can clean-up those files from the top-level Makefile.

OpenRISC borrows its timer sync logic from MIPS, Matt helped to review
the OpenRISC implementation and noted that we may suffer the same
deadlock case that MIPS has faced. The case being:

  "the MIPS timer synchronization code contained the possibility of
  deadlock. If you mark a CPU online before it goes into the synchronize
  loop, then the boot CPU can schedule a different thread and send IPIs to
  all "online" CPUs. It gets stuck waiting for the secondary to ack it's
  IPI, since this secondary CPU has not enabled IRQs yet, and is stuck
  waiting for the master to synchronise with it.  The system then
  deadlocks."

Fix this by moving set_cpu_online() to after timer sync.

openrisc is big-endian only but sparse assumes the same endianness
as the building machine.
This is problematic for code which expect __BYTE_ORDER__ being
correctly predefined by the compiler which sparse can then
pre-process differently from what gcc would, depending on the
building machine endianness.

Fix this by letting sparse know about the architecture endianness.

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.

Lockdep is needed for proving the spinlocks and rwlocks work fine on our
platform.  It also requires calling the trace_hardirqs_off() and
trace_hardirqs_on() pair of routines when entering and exiting an
interrupt.

For OpenRISC the interrupt stack frame does not support frame pointers,
so to call trace_hardirqs_on() and trace_hardirqs_off() here the macro's
build up a stack frame each time.

There is one necessary small change in _sys_call_handler to move
interrupt enabling later so they can get re-enabled during syscall
restart. This was done to fix lockdep warnings that are now possible due
to this
patch.

<title>openrisc: support framepointers and STACKTRACE_SUPPORT</title>

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:
 [&lt;c0004448&gt;] show_stack+0x3c/0x58
 [&lt;c031c940&gt;] dump_stack+0xa8/0xe4
 [&lt;c0008104&gt;] __cpu_up+0x64/0x130
 [&lt;c000d268&gt;] bringup_cpu+0x3c/0x178
 [&lt;c000d038&gt;] cpuhp_invoke_callback+0xa8/0x1fc
 [&lt;c000d680&gt;] cpuhp_up_callbacks+0x44/0x14c
 [&lt;c000e400&gt;] cpu_up+0x14c/0x1bc
 [&lt;c041da60&gt;] smp_init+0x104/0x15c
 [&lt;c033843c&gt;] ? kernel_init+0x0/0x140
 [&lt;c0415e04&gt;] kernel_init_freeable+0xbc/0x25c
 [&lt;c033843c&gt;] ? kernel_init+0x0/0x140
 [&lt;c0338458&gt;] kernel_init+0x1c/0x140
 [&lt;c003a174&gt;] ? schedule_tail+0x18/0xa0
 [&lt;c0006b80&gt;] ret_from_fork+0x1c/0x9c
