Most architectures do not export shmparam.h to user-space.

  $ find arch -name shmparam.h  | sort
  arch/alpha/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/arc/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/arm64/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/arm/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/csky/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/ia64/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/mips/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/nds32/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/nios2/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/parisc/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/powerpc/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/s390/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/sh/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/sparc/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/x86/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/xtensa/include/asm/shmparam.h

Strangely, some users of the asm-generic wrapper export shmparam.h

  $ git grep 'generic-y += shmparam.h'
  arch/c6x/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
  arch/h8300/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
  arch/hexagon/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
  arch/m68k/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
  arch/microblaze/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
  arch/openrisc/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
  arch/riscv/include/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
  arch/unicore32/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h

The newly added riscv correctly creates the asm-generic wrapper
in the kernel space, but the others (c6x, h8300, hexagon, m68k,
microblaze, openrisc, unicore32) create the one in the uapi directory.

Digging into the git history, now I guess fcc8487d477a ("uapi:
export all headers under uapi directories") was the misconversion.
Prior to that commit, no architecture exported to shmparam.h
As its commit description said, that commit exported shmparam.h
for c6x, h8300, hexagon, m68k, openrisc, unicore32.

83f0124ad81e ("microblaze: remove asm-generic wrapper headers")
accidentally exported shmparam.h for microblaze.

This commit unexports shmparam.h for those architectures.

There is no more reason to export include/uapi/asm-generic/shmparam.h,
so it has been moved to include/asm-generic/shmparam.h

For some reasons, I accidentally got rid of "generic-y += shmparam.h"
from some architectures.

Restore them to fix building c6x, h8300, hexagon, m68k, microblaze,
openrisc, and unicore32.

Now that Kbuild automatically creates asm-generic wrappers for missing
mandatory headers, it is redundant to list the same headers in
generic-y and mandatory-y.

These comments are leftovers of commit fcc8487d477a ("uapi: export all
headers under uapi directories").

Prior to that commit, exported headers must be explicitly added to
header-y. Now, all headers under the uapi/ directories are exported.

Patch series "Add support for fast mremap".

This series speeds up the mremap(2) syscall by copying page tables at
the PMD level even for non-THP systems.  There is concern that the extra
'address' argument that mremap passes to pte_alloc may do something
subtle architecture related in the future that may make the scheme not
work.  Also we find that there is no point in passing the 'address' to
pte_alloc since its unused.  This patch therefore removes this argument
tree-wide resulting in a nice negative diff as well.  Also ensuring
along the way that the enabled architectures do not do anything funky
with the 'address' argument that goes unnoticed by the optimization.

Build and boot tested on x86-64.  Build tested on arm64.  The config
enablement patch for arm64 will be posted in the future after more
testing.

The changes were obtained by applying the following Coccinelle script.
(thanks Julia for answering all Coccinelle questions!).
Following fix ups were done manually:
* Removal of address argument from  pte_fragment_alloc
* Removal of pte_alloc_one_fast definitions from m68k and microblaze.

// Options: --include-headers --no-includes
// Note: I split the 'identifier fn' line, so if you are manually
// running it, please unsplit it so it runs for you.

<title>fls: change parameter to unsigned int</title>

When testing in userspace, UBSAN pointed out that shifting into the sign
bit is undefined behaviour.  It doesn't really make sense to ask for the
highest set bit of a negative value, so just turn the argument type into
an unsigned int.

Some architectures (eg ppc) already had it declared as an unsigned int,
so I don't expect too many problems.

<title>Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function</title>

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.
