After the  Ether platform data is fixed, the driver probe() method would
still fail since the 'struct sh_eth_cpu_data' corresponding  to SH771x
indicates the presence of TSU but the memory resource for it is absent.
Add the missing TSU resource  to both Ether devices and fix the harmless
off-by-one error in the main memory resources, while at it...

The 'sh_eth' driver's probe() method would fail  on the SolutionEngine7710
board and crash on SolutionEngine7712 board  as the platform code is
hopelessly behind the driver's platform data --  it passes the PHY address
instead of 'struct sh_eth_plat_data *'; pass the latter to the driver in
order to fix the bug...

<title>bpf: correct broken uapi for BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT program type</title>

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>treewide: setup_timer() -&gt; timer_setup()</title>

<id>e99e88a9d2b067465adaa9c111ada99a041bef9a</id>
<content type='text'>
This converts all remaining cases of the old setup_timer() API into using
timer_setup(), where the callback argument is the structure already
holding the struct timer_list. These should have no behavioral changes,
since they just change which pointer is passed into the callback with
the same available pointers after conversion. It handles the following
examples, in addition to some other variations.

Casting from unsigned long:

    void my_callback(unsigned long data)
    {
        struct something *ptr = (struct something *)data;
    ...
    }
    ...
    setup_timer(&amp;ptr-&gt;my_timer, my_callback, ptr);

and forced object casts:

    void my_callback(struct something *ptr)
    {
    ...
    }
    ...
    setup_timer(&amp;ptr-&gt;my_timer, my_callback, (unsigned long)ptr);

become:

    void my_callback(struct timer_list *t)
    {
        struct something *ptr = from_timer(ptr, t, my_timer);
    ...
    }
    ...
    timer_setup(&amp;ptr-&gt;my_timer, my_callback, 0);

Direct function assignments:

    void my_callback(unsigned long data)
    {
        struct something *ptr = (struct something *)data;
    ...
    }
    ...
    ptr-&gt;my_timer.function = my_callback;

have a temporary cast added, along with converting the args:

    void my_callback(struct timer_list *t)
    {
        struct something *ptr = from_timer(ptr, t, my_timer);
    ...
    }
    ...
    ptr-&gt;my_timer.function = (TIMER_FUNC_TYPE)my_callback;

And finally, callbacks without a data assignment:

    void my_callback(unsigned long data)
    {
    ...
    }
    ...
    setup_timer(&amp;ptr-&gt;my_timer, my_callback, 0);

have their argument renamed to verify they're unused during conversion:

    void my_callback(struct timer_list *unused)
    {
    ...
    }
    ...
    timer_setup(&amp;ptr-&gt;my_timer, my_callback, 0);

The conversion is done with the following Coccinelle script:

spatch --very-quiet --all-includes --include-headers \
	-I ./arch/x86/include -I ./arch/x86/include/generated \
	-I ./include -I ./arch/x86/include/uapi \
	-I ./arch/x86/include/generated/uapi -I ./include/uapi \

This converts all remaining cases of the old setup_timer() API into using
timer_setup(), where the callback argument is the structure already
holding the struct timer_list. These should have no behavioral changes,
since they just change which pointer is passed into the callback with
the same available pointers after conversion. It handles the following
examples, in addition to some other variations.

Casting from unsigned long:

    void my_callback(unsigned long data)
    {
        struct something *ptr = (struct something *)data;
    ...
    }
    ...
    setup_timer(&amp;ptr-&gt;my_timer, my_callback, ptr);

and forced object casts:

    void my_callback(struct something *ptr)
    {
    ...
    }
    ...
    setup_timer(&amp;ptr-&gt;my_timer, my_callback, (unsigned long)ptr);

become:

    void my_callback(struct timer_list *t)
    {
        struct something *ptr = from_timer(ptr, t, my_timer);
    ...
    }
    ...
    timer_setup(&amp;ptr-&gt;my_timer, my_callback, 0);

Direct function assignments:

    void my_callback(unsigned long data)
    {
        struct something *ptr = (struct something *)data;
    ...
    }
    ...
    ptr-&gt;my_timer.function = my_callback;

have a temporary cast added, along with converting the args:

    void my_callback(struct timer_list *t)
    {
        struct something *ptr = from_timer(ptr, t, my_timer);
    ...
    }
    ...
    ptr-&gt;my_timer.function = (TIMER_FUNC_TYPE)my_callback;

And finally, callbacks without a data assignment:

    void my_callback(unsigned long data)
    {
    ...
    }
    ...
    setup_timer(&amp;ptr-&gt;my_timer, my_callback, 0);

have their argument renamed to verify they're unused during conversion:

    void my_callback(struct timer_list *unused)
    {
    ...
    }
    ...
    timer_setup(&amp;ptr-&gt;my_timer, my_callback, 0);

The conversion is done with the following Coccinelle script:

This mechanically converts all remaining cases of ancient open-coded timer
setup with the old setup_timer() API, which is the first step in timer
conversions. This has no behavioral changes, since it ultimately just
changes the order of assignment to fields of struct timer_list when
finding variations of:

    init_timer(&amp;t);
    f.function = timer_callback;
    t.data = timer_callback_arg;

to be converted into:

    setup_timer(&amp;t, timer_callback, timer_callback_arg);

The conversion is done with the following Coccinelle script, which
is an improved version of scripts/cocci/api/setup_timer.cocci, in the
following ways:
 - assignments-before-init_timer() cases
 - limit the .data case removal to the specific struct timer_list instance
 - handling calls by dereference (timer-&gt;field vs timer.field)

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:
 "One of the most remarkable improvements in this cycle is, Kbuild is
  now able to cache the result of shell commands. Some variables are
  expensive to compute, for example, $(call cc-option,...) invokes the
  compiler. It is not efficient to redo this computation every time,
  even when we are not actually building anything. Kbuild creates a
  hidden file ".cache.mk" that contains invoked shell commands and their
  results. The speed-up should be noticeable.

  Summary:

   - Fix arch build issues (hexagon, sh)

   - Clean up various Makefiles and scripts

   - Fix wrong usage of {CFLAGS,LDFLAGS}_MODULE in arch Makefiles

   - Cache variables that are expensive to compute

   - Improve cc-ldopton and ld-option for Clang

   - Optimize output directory creation"

Commit a7be6e5a7f8d ("mm: drop useless local parameters of
__register_one_node()") removed the last user of parent_node().

The parent_node() macro in SUPERH platform is unnecessary.

Remove it for cleanup.

<title>sh/boot: add static stack-protector to pre-kernel</title>

<id>fb6cc4ac15c354fa1eb449f50a0dfe5f4bf0d42a</id>
<content type='text'>
The sh decompressor code triggers stack-protector code generation when
using CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG.  As done for arm and mips, add a
simple static stack-protector canary.  As this wasn't protected before,
the risk of using a weak canary is minimized.  Once the kernel is
actually up, a better canary is chosen.
