Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "This is mostly updates of the usual suspects: lpfc, qla2xxx, hisi_sas,
  megaraid_sas, zfcp and a host of minor updates.

  The major driver change here is the elimination of the block based
  cciss driver in favour of the SCSI based hpsa driver (which now drives
  all the legacy cases cciss used to be required for). Plus a reset
  handler clean up and the redo of the SAS SMP handler to use bsg lib"

after having read and stored the old value. Introduce a macro for this
pattern.

<title>rcu: Create reasonable API for do_exit() TASKS_RCU processing</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently, the exit-time support for TASKS_RCU is open-coded in do_exit().
This commit creates exit_tasks_rcu_start() and exit_tasks_rcu_finish()
APIs for do_exit() use.  This has the benefit of confining the use of the
tasks_rcu_exit_srcu variable to one file, allowing it to become static.

<title>rcu: Drive TASKS_RCU directly off of PREEMPT</title>

<content type='text'>
The actual use of TASKS_RCU is only when PREEMPT, otherwise RCU-sched
is used instead.  This commit therefore makes synchronize_rcu_tasks()
and call_rcu_tasks() available always, but mapped to synchronize_sched()
and call_rcu_sched(), respectively, when !PREEMPT.  This approach also
allows some #ifdefs to be removed from rcutorture.

<title>rcu: Migrate callbacks earlier in the CPU-offline timeline</title>

<id>a58163d8ca2c8d288ee9f95989712f98473a5ac2</id>
<content type='text'>
RCU callbacks must be migrated away from an outgoing CPU, and this is
done near the end of the CPU-hotplug operation, after the outgoing CPU is
long gone.  Unfortunately, this means that other CPU-hotplug callbacks
can execute while the outgoing CPU's callbacks are still immobilized
on the long-gone CPU's callback lists.  If any of these CPU-hotplug
callbacks must wait, either directly or indirectly, for the invocation
of any of the immobilized RCU callbacks, the system will hang.

This commit avoids such hangs by migrating the callbacks away from the
outgoing CPU immediately upon its departure, shortly after the return
from __cpu_die() in takedown_cpu().  Thus, RCU is able to advance these
callbacks and invoke them, which allows all the after-the-fact CPU-hotplug
callbacks to wait on these RCU callbacks without risk of a hang.

While in the neighborhood, this commit also moves rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage()
and rcu_adopt_orphan_cbs() under a pre-existing #ifdef to avoid including
dead code on the one hand and to avoid define-without-use warnings on the
other hand.

Other than lockdep support, Tiny RCU has no need for the
scheduler status.  However, Tiny SRCU will need this to control
boot-time behavior independent of lockdep.  Therefore, this commit
moves rcu_scheduler_starting() from kernel/rcu/tiny_plugin.h to
kernel/rcu/srcutiny.c.  This in turn allows the complete removal of
kernel/rcu/tiny_plugin.h.

<content type='text'>
The list of #includes from include/linux/rcupdate.h has grown quite
a bit, so it is time to trim it.  This commit moves the #include
of include/linux/ktime.h to include/linux/rcutiny.h, along with the
Tiny-RCU-only function that was the only thing needing ktimem.h.  It then
reconstructs the files included into include/linux/ktime.h based on what
is actually needed, with significant help from the 0day Test Robot.

This single change reduces the .i file footprint from rcupdate.h from
9018 lines to 7101 lines.
