Pull RISC-V cleanups and ABI fixes from Palmer Dabbelt:
 "This contains a handful of small cleanups that are a result of
  feedback that didn't make it into our original patch set, either
  because the feedback hadn't been given yet, I missed the original
  emails, or we weren't ready to submit the changes yet.

  I've been maintaining the various cleanup patch sets I have as their
  own branches, which I then merged together and signed. Each merge
  commit has a short summary of the changes, and each branch is based on
  your latest tag (4.15-rc1, in this case). If this isn't the right way
  to do this then feel free to suggest something else, but it seems sane
  to me.

  Here's a short summary of the changes, roughly in order of how
  interesting they are.

   - libgcc.h has been moved from include/lib, where it's the only
     member, to include/linux. This is meant to avoid tab completion
     conflicts.

   - VDSO entries for clock_get/gettimeofday/getcpu have been added.
     These are simple syscalls now, but we want to let glibc use them
     from the start so we can make them faster later.

   - A VDSO entry for instruction cache flushing has been added so
     userspace can flush the instruction cache.

   - The VDSO symbol versions for __vdso_cmpxchg{32,64} have been
     removed, as those VDSO entries don't actually exist.

   - __io_writes has been corrected to respect the given type.

   - A new READ_ONCE in arch_spin_is_locked().

   - __test_and_op_bit_ord() is now actually ordered.

   - Various small fixes throughout the tree to enable allmodconfig to
     build cleanly.

   - Removal of some dead code in our atomic support headers.

   - Improvements to various comments in our atomic support headers"

Olaf said: Here's a short series of patches that produces a working
allmodconfig. Would be nice to see them go in so we can add build
coverage.

I've dropped patches 8 and 10 from the original set:

* [PATCH 08/10] (RISC-V: Set __ARCH_WANT_RENAMEAT to pick up generic
  version) has a better fix that I've sent out for review, we don't want
  renameat.
* [PATCH 10/10] (input: joystick: riscv has get_cycles) has already been
  taken into Dmitry Torokhov's tree.

This merge contains the user-visible, ABI-breaking changes that we want
to make sure we have in Linux before our first release.   Highlights
include:

* VDSO entries for clock_get/gettimeofday/getcpu have been added.  These
  are simple syscalls now, but we want to let glibc use them from the
  start so we can make them faster later.
* A VDSO entry for instruction cache flushing has been added so
  userspace can flush the instruction cache.
* The VDSO symbol versions for __vdso_cmpxchg{32,64} have been removed,
  as those VDSO entries don't actually exist.

Conflicts:

The comments in the ASID allocator incorrectly hint at an MP-style idiom
using the asid_generation and the active_asids array. In fact, the
synchronisation is achieved using a combination of an xchg operation
and a spinlock, so update the comments and remove the pointless smp_wmb().
