kvm_types.h is mandatory in include/asm-generic/Kbuild so having it
in another Kbuild file causes a warning. Remove it from the arch/
Kbuild file to fix the warning.

<title>arch, mm: move definition of node_data to generic code</title>

Every architecture that supports NUMA defines node_data in the same way:

	struct pglist_data *node_data[MAX_NUMNODES];

No reason to keep multiple copies of this definition and its forward
declarations, especially when such forward declaration is the only thing
in include/asm/mmzone.h for many architectures.

Add definition and declaration of node_data to generic code and drop
architecture-specific versions.

Make &lt;asm-generic/local64.h&gt; mandatory in include/asm-generic/Kbuild and
remove all arch/*/include/asm/local64.h arch-specific files since they
only #include &lt;asm-generic/local64.h&gt;.

This fixes build errors on arch/c6x/ and arch/nios2/ for
block/blk-iocost.c.

Build-tested on 21 of 25 arch-es.  (tools problems on the others)

Yes, we could even rename &lt;asm-generic/local64.h&gt; to
&lt;linux/local64.h&gt; and change all #includes to use
&lt;linux/local64.h&gt; instead.

<title>KVM: Move x86's version of struct kvm_mmu_memory_cache to common code</title>

<content type='text'>
Move x86's 'struct kvm_mmu_memory_cache' to common code in anticipation
of moving the entire x86 implementation code to common KVM and reusing
it for arm64 and MIPS.  Add a new architecture specific asm/kvm_types.h
to control the existence and parameters of the struct.  The new header
is needed to avoid a chicken-and-egg problem with asm/kvm_host.h as all
architectures define instances of the struct in their vCPU structs.

Add an asm-generic version of kvm_types.h to avoid having empty files on
PPC and s390 in the long term, and for arm64 and mips in the short term.

<title>asm-generic: make more kernel-space headers mandatory</title>

<id>630f289b7114c0e68519cbd634e2b7ec804ca8c5</id>
<content type='text'>
Change a header to mandatory-y if both of the following are met:

[1] At least one architecture (except um) specifies it as generic-y in
    arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild

[2] Every architecture (except um) either has its own implementation
    (arch/*/include/asm/*.h) or specifies it as generic-y in
    arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild

This commit was generated by the following shell script.

-----------------------------------&gt;8-----------------------------------

arches=$(cd arch; ls -1 | sed -e '/Kconfig/d' -e '/um/d')

tmpfile=$(mktemp)

grep "^mandatory-y +=" include/asm-generic/Kbuild &gt; $tmpfile

find arch -path 'arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild' |
	xargs sed -n 's/^generic-y += \(.*\)/\1/p' | sort -u |
while read header
do
	mandatory=yes

	for arch in $arches
	do
		if ! grep -q "generic-y += $header" arch/$arch/include/asm/Kbuild &amp;&amp;
			! [ -f arch/$arch/include/asm/$header ]; then
			mandatory=no
			break
		fi
	done

	if [ "$mandatory" = yes ]; then
		echo "mandatory-y += $header" &gt;&gt; $tmpfile

		for arch in $arches
		do
			sed -i "/generic-y += $header/d" arch/$arch/include/asm/Kbuild
		done
	fi

done

sed -i '/^mandatory-y +=/d' include/asm-generic/Kbuild

LANG=C sort $tmpfile &gt;&gt; include/asm-generic/Kbuild

-----------------------------------&gt;8-----------------------------------

One obvious benefit is the diff stat:

 25 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 557 deletions(-)

It is tedious to list generic-y for each arch that needs it.

So, mandatory-y works like a fallback default (by just wrapping
asm-generic one) when arch does not have a specific header
implementation.

See the following commits:

def3f7cefe4e81c296090e1722a76551142c227c
a1b39bae16a62ce4aae02d958224f19316d98b24

It is tedious to convert headers one by one, so I processed by a shell
script.

dma-continuguous.h is generic for all architectures except arm32 which has
its own version.

Similar change was done for msi.h by commit a1b39bae16a6
("asm-generic: Make msi.h a mandatory include/asm header")

dma-continuguous.h is generic for all architectures except arm32 which has
its own version.

Similar change was done for msi.h by commit a1b39bae16a6
("asm-generic: Make msi.h a mandatory include/asm header")

Pull mmiowb removal from Will Deacon:
 "Remove Mysterious Macro Intended to Obscure Weird Behaviours (mmiowb())

  Remove mmiowb() from the kernel memory barrier API and instead, for
  architectures that need it, hide the barrier inside spin_unlock() when
  MMIO has been performed inside the critical section.

  The only relatively recent changes have been addressing review
  comments on the documentation, which is in a much better shape thanks
  to the efforts of Ben and Ingo.

  I was initially planning to split this into two pull requests so that
  you could run the coccinelle script yourself, however it's been plain
  sailing in linux-next so I've just included the whole lot here to keep
  things simple"

<title>locking/rwsem: Remove arch specific rwsem files</title>

<id>46ad0840b1584b92b5ff2cc3ed0b011dd6b8e0f1</id>
<content type='text'>
As the generic rwsem-xadd code is using the appropriate acquire and
release versions of the atomic operations, the arch specific rwsem.h
files will not be that much faster than the generic code as long as the
atomic functions are properly implemented. So we can remove those arch
specific rwsem.h and stop building asm/rwsem.h to reduce maintenance
effort.

Currently, only x86, alpha and ia64 have implemented architecture
specific fast paths. I don't have access to alpha and ia64 systems for
testing, but they are legacy systems that are not likely to be updated
to the latest kernel anyway.

By using a rwsem microbenchmark, the total locking rates on a 4-socket
56-core 112-thread x86-64 system before and after the patch were as
follows (mixed means equal # of read and write locks):

                      Before Patch              After Patch
   # of Threads  wlock   rlock   mixed     wlock   rlock   mixed

        2         6,807  13,299   1,171     7,725  15,025   1,804
        4         6,504  12,755   1,520     7,127  14,286   1,345
        8         6,762  13,412     764     6,826  13,652     726
       16         6,693  15,408     662     6,599  15,938     626
       32         6,145  15,286     496     5,549  15,487     511
       64         5,812  15,495      60     5,858  15,572      60

There were some run-to-run variations for the multi-thread tests. For
x86-64, using the generic C code fast path seems to be a little bit
faster than the assembly version with low lock contention.  Looking at
the assembly version of the fast paths, there are assembly to/from C
code wrappers that save and restore all the callee-clobbered registers
(7 registers on x86-64). The assembly generated from the generic C
code doesn't need to do that. That may explain the slight performance
gain here.

The generic asm rwsem.h can also be merged into kernel/locking/rwsem.h
with no code change as no other code other than those under
kernel/locking needs to access the internal rwsem macros and functions.
