Recently in commit fbf508da7440 ("powerpc: split compat syscall table
out from native table") we changed the layout of the system call
table. Instead of having two entries for each syscall number, one for
the regular entry point and one for the compat entry point, we now
have separate tables for regular and compat entry points.

This inadvertently broke syscall tracing (CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS),
because our implementation of arch_syscall_addr() knew about the
layout of the table (it did nr * 2).

We can fix it just by dropping our version of arch_syscall_addr() and
using the generic version which does:

	return (unsigned long)sys_call_table[nr];

<title>powerpc/tm: Limit TM code inside PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM</title>

Commit e1c3743e1a20 ("powerpc/tm: Set MSR[TS] just prior to recheckpoint")
moved a code block around and this block uses a 'msr' variable outside of
the CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM, however the 'msr' variable is declared
inside a CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM block, causing a possible error when
CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTION_MEM is not defined.

	error: 'msr' undeclared (first use in this function)

This is not causing a compilation error in the mainline kernel, because
'msr' is being used as an argument of MSR_TM_ACTIVE(), which is defined as
the following when CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM is *not* set:

	#define MSR_TM_ACTIVE(x) 0

This patch just fixes this issue avoiding the 'msr' variable usage outside
the CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM block, avoiding trusting in the
MSR_TM_ACTIVE() definition.

Commit 8c8c10b90d88 ("powerpc/8xx: fix handling of early NULL pointer
dereference") moved the loading of r6 earlier in the code. As some
functions are called inbetween, r6 needs to be loaded again with the
address of swapper_pg_dir in order to set PTE pointers for
the Abatron BDI.

<title>jump_label: move 'asm goto' support test to Kconfig</title>

Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label".

The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined
like this:

  #if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) &amp;&amp; defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL)
  # define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
  #endif

We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then
make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO.

Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will
match to the real kernel capability.

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

Pull IOMMU updates from Joerg Roedel:

 - Page table code for AMD IOMMU now supports large pages where smaller
   page-sizes were mapped before. VFIO had to work around that in the
   past and I included a patch to remove it (acked by Alex Williamson)

 - Patches to unmodularize a couple of IOMMU drivers that would never
   work as modules anyway.

 - Work to unify the the iommu-related pointers in 'struct device' into
   one pointer. This work is not finished yet, but will probably be in
   the next cycle.

 - NUMA aware allocation in iommu-dma code

 - Support for r8a774a1 and r8a774c0 in the Renesas IOMMU driver

 - Scalable mode support for the Intel VT-d driver

 - PM runtime improvements for the ARM-SMMU driver

 - Support for the QCOM-SMMUv2 IOMMU hardware from Qualcom

 - Various smaller fixes and improvements

   - Constify the arch ops tables

   - A couple of other small clean ups

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Rework of the kprobe/uprobe and synthetic events to consolidate all
   the dynamic event code. This will make changes in the future easier.

 - Partial rewrite of the function graph tracing infrastructure. This
   will allow for multiple users of hooking onto functions to get the
   callback (return) of the function. This is the ground work for having
   kprobes and function graph tracer using one code base.

 - Clean up of the histogram code that will facilitate adding more
   features to the histograms in the future.

 - Addition of str_has_prefix() and a few use cases. There currently is
   a similar function strstart() that is used in a few places, but only
   returns a bool and not a length. These instances will be removed in
   the future to use str_has_prefix() instead.

 - A few other various clean ups as well.

  tracing: Use the return of str_has_prefix() to remove open coded numbers
  tracing: Have the historgram use the result of str_has_prefix() for len of prefix
  tracing: Use str_has_prefix() instead of using fixed sizes
  tracing: Use str_has_prefix() helper for histogram code
  string.h: Add str_has_prefix() helper function

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Rework of the kprobe/uprobe and synthetic events to consolidate all
   the dynamic event code. This will make changes in the future easier.

 - Partial rewrite of the function graph tracing infrastructure. This
   will allow for multiple users of hooking onto functions to get the
   callback (return) of the function. This is the ground work for having
   kprobes and function graph tracer using one code base.

 - Clean up of the histogram code that will facilitate adding more
   features to the histograms in the future.

 - Addition of str_has_prefix() and a few use cases. There currently is
   a similar function strstart() that is used in a few places, but only
   returns a bool and not a length. These instances will be removed in
   the future to use str_has_prefix() instead.

 - A few other various clean ups as well.

checkpatch.pl reports the following:

  WARNING: struct kgdb_arch should normally be const
  #28: FILE: arch/mips/kernel/kgdb.c:397:
  +struct kgdb_arch arch_kgdb_ops = {

This report makes sense, as all other ops struct, this
one should also be const. This patch does the change.
