RFC 5952 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5952) mandates that 2 or more
consecutive 0's are required before using :: compression.

Update ip6_compressed_string to match the RFC and update the http

By default the io_tlb_nslabs is set to zero, and gets set to
whatever value is passed in via swiotlb_init_with_tbl function.
The default value passed in is 64MB. However, if the user provides
the 'swiotlb=&lt;nslabs&gt;' the default value is ignored and
the value provided by the user is used... Except when the SWIOTLB
is used under Xen - there the default value of 64MB is used and
the Xen-SWIOTLB has no mechanism to get the 'io_tlb_nslabs' filled
out by setup_io_tlb_npages functions. This patch provides a function
for the Xen-SWIOTLB to call to see if the io_tlb_nslabs is set
and if so use that value.

<title>bitops: add #ifndef for each of find bitops</title>

The style that we normally use in asm-generic is to test the macro itself
for existence, so in asm-generic, do:

	#ifndef find_next_zero_bit_le
	extern unsigned long find_next_zero_bit_le(const void *addr,
		unsigned long size, unsigned long offset);
	#endif

and in the architectures, write

	static inline unsigned long find_next_zero_bit_le(const void *addr,
		unsigned long size, unsigned long offset)
	#define find_next_zero_bit_le find_next_zero_bit_le

This adds the #ifndef for each of the find bitops in the generic header
and source files.

<title>flex_array: avoid divisions when accessing elements</title>

On most architectures division is an expensive operation and accessing an
element currently requires four of them.  This performance penalty
effectively precludes flex arrays from being used on any kind of fast
path.  However, two of these divisions can be handled at creation time and
the others can be replaced by a reciprocal divide, completely avoiding
real divisions on access.

<title>rcu: Fix unpaired rcu_irq_enter() from locking selftests</title>

<id>ba9f207c9f82115aba4ce04b22e0081af0ae300f</id>
<content type='text'>
HARDIRQ_ENTER() maps to irq_enter() which calls rcu_irq_enter().
But HARDIRQ_EXIT() maps to __irq_exit() which doesn't call
rcu_irq_exit().

So for every locking selftest that simulates hardirq disabled,
we create an imbalance in the rcu extended quiescent state
internal state.

As a result, after the first missing rcu_irq_exit(), subsequent
irqs won't exit dyntick-idle mode after leaving the interrupt
handler.  This means that RCU won't see the affected CPU as being
in an extended quiescent state, resulting in long grace-period
delays (as in grace periods extending for hours).

To fix this, just use __irq_enter() to simulate the hardirq
context. This is sufficient for the locking selftests as we
don't need to exit any extended quiescent state or perform
any check that irqs normally do when they wake up from idle.

As a side effect, this patch makes it possible to restore
"rcu: Decrease memory-barrier usage based on semi-formal proof",
which eventually helped finding this bug.
