Commit c8921d72e390 ("parisc: Fix and improve kernel stack unwinding")
broke booting of 64-bit kernels. On 64-bit kernels function pointers are
actually function descriptors which require dereferencing. In this patch
we instead declare functions in assembly code which are referenced from
C-code as external data pointers with the ENTRY() macro and thus can use
a simple external reference to the functions.

 "Highlights:

   - Gustavo A. R. Silva keeps working on the implicit switch fallthru
     changes.

   - Support 802.11ax High-Efficiency wireless in cfg80211 et al, From
     Luca Coelho.

   - Add virtual XFRM interfaces, which avoids all of the limitations of
     existing IPSEC tunnels. From Steffen Klassert.

   - Convert GRO over to use a hash table, so that when we have many
     flows active we don't traverse a long list during accumluation.

   - Many new self tests for routing, TC, tunnels, etc. Too many
     contributors to mention them all, but I'm really happy to keep
     seeing this stuff.

   - Hardware timestamping support for dpaa_eth/fsl-fman from Yangbo Lu.

   - Lots of cleanups and fixes in L2TP code from Guillaume Nault.

<id>c8921d72e390cb6fca3fb2b0c2badfda851647eb</id>
<content type='text'>
This patchset fixes and improves stack unwinding a lot:
1. Show backward stack traces with up to 30 callsites
2. Add callinfo to ENTRY_CFI() such that every assembler function will get an
   entry in the unwind table
3. Use constants instead of numbers in call_on_stack()
4. Do not depend on CONFIG_KALLSYMS to generate backtraces.
5. Speed up backtrace generation

Make sure you have this patch to GNU as installed:
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2018-07/msg00474.html
Without this patch, unwind info in the kernel is often wrong for various
functions.

This patchset fixes and improves stack unwinding a lot:
1. Show backward stack traces with up to 30 callsites
2. Add callinfo to ENTRY_CFI() such that every assembler function will get an
   entry in the unwind table
3. Use constants instead of numbers in call_on_stack()
4. Do not depend on CONFIG_KALLSYMS to generate backtraces.
5. Speed up backtrace generation

<title>parisc: Remove unnecessary barriers from spinlock.h</title>

Now that mb() is an instruction barrier, it will slow performance if we issue
unnecessary barriers.

The spinlock defines have a number of unnecessary barriers.  The __ldcw()
define is both a hardware and compiler barrier.  The mb() barriers in the
routines using __ldcw() serve no purpose.

The only barrier needed is the one in arch_spin_unlock().  We need to ensure
all accesses are complete prior to releasing the lock.

Some parts of the HAVE_REGS_AND_STACK_ACCESS_API feature is needed for
the rseq syscall. This patch adds the most important parts, and as long
as we don't support kprobes, we should be fine.
