dma-continuguous.h is generic for all architectures except arm32 which has
its own version.

Similar change was done for msi.h by commit a1b39bae16a6
("asm-generic: Make msi.h a mandatory include/asm header")

Pull mmiowb removal from Will Deacon:
 "Remove Mysterious Macro Intended to Obscure Weird Behaviours (mmiowb())

  Remove mmiowb() from the kernel memory barrier API and instead, for
  architectures that need it, hide the barrier inside spin_unlock() when
  MMIO has been performed inside the critical section.

  The only relatively recent changes have been addressing review
  comments on the documentation, which is in a much better shape thanks
  to the efforts of Ben and Ingo.

  I was initially planning to split this into two pull requests so that
  you could run the coccinelle script yourself, however it's been plain
  sailing in linux-next so I've just included the whole lot here to keep
  things simple"

<title>locking/rwsem: Remove arch specific rwsem files</title>
<updated>2019-04-03T12:50:50+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.raptorcs.com/git/talos-op-linux/commit/?id=46ad0840b1584b92b5ff2cc3ed0b011dd6b8e0f1'/>
<id>urn:sha1:46ad0840b1584b92b5ff2cc3ed0b011dd6b8e0f1</id>
<content type='text'>
As the generic rwsem-xadd code is using the appropriate acquire and
release versions of the atomic operations, the arch specific rwsem.h
files will not be that much faster than the generic code as long as the
atomic functions are properly implemented. So we can remove those arch
specific rwsem.h and stop building asm/rwsem.h to reduce maintenance
effort.

Currently, only x86, alpha and ia64 have implemented architecture
specific fast paths. I don't have access to alpha and ia64 systems for
testing, but they are legacy systems that are not likely to be updated
to the latest kernel anyway.

By using a rwsem microbenchmark, the total locking rates on a 4-socket
56-core 112-thread x86-64 system before and after the patch were as
follows (mixed means equal # of read and write locks):

                      Before Patch              After Patch
   # of Threads  wlock   rlock   mixed     wlock   rlock   mixed
   ------------  -----   -----   -----     -----   -----   -----
        1        29,201  30,143  29,458    28,615  30,172  29,201
        2         6,807  13,299   1,171     7,725  15,025   1,804
        4         6,504  12,755   1,520     7,127  14,286   1,345
        8         6,762  13,412     764     6,826  13,652     726
       16         6,693  15,408     662     6,599  15,938     626
       32         6,145  15,286     496     5,549  15,487     511
       64         5,812  15,495      60     5,858  15,572      60

There were some run-to-run variations for the multi-thread tests. For
x86-64, using the generic C code fast path seems to be a little bit
faster than the assembly version with low lock contention.  Looking at
the assembly version of the fast paths, there are assembly to/from C
code wrappers that save and restore all the callee-clobbered registers
(7 registers on x86-64). The assembly generated from the generic C
code doesn't need to do that. That may explain the slight performance
gain here.

The generic asm rwsem.h can also be merged into kernel/locking/rwsem.h
with no code change as no other code other than those under
kernel/locking needs to access the internal rwsem macros and functions.

<content type='text'>
The generic-y is redundant under the following condition:

 - arch has its own implementation

 - the same header is added to generated-y

 - the same header is added to mandatory-y

If a redundant generic-y is found, the warning like follows is displayed:

  scripts/Makefile.asm-generic:20: redundant generic-y found in arch/arm/include/asm/Kbuild: timex.h

I fixed up arch Kbuild files found by this.

Pull clk updates from Stephen Boyd:
 "The core framework has a handful of patches this time around, mostly
  due to the clk rate protection support added by Jerome Brunet.

  This feature will allow consumers to lock in a certain rate on the
  output of a clk so that things like audio playback don't hear pops
  when the clk frequency changes due to shared parent clks changing
  rates. Currently the clk API doesn't guarantee the rate of a clk stays
  at the rate you request after clk_set_rate() is called, so this new
  API will allow drivers to express that requirement.

  Beyond this, the core got some debugfs pretty printing patches and a
  couple minor non-critical fixes.

  Looking outside of the core framework diff we have some new driver
  additions and the removal of a legacy TI clk driver. Both of these hit
  high in the dirstat. Also, the removal of the asm-generic/clkdev.h
  file causes small one-liners in all the architecture Kbuild files.

  Overall, the driver diff seems to be the normal stuff that comes all
  the time to fix little problems here and there and to support new
  hardware.

  Summary:

  Core:
   - Clk rate protection
   - Symbolic clk flags in debugfs output
   - Clk registration enabled clks while doing bookkeeping updates

  New Drivers:
   - Spreadtrum SC9860
   - HiSilicon hi3660 stub
   - Qualcomm A53 PLL, SPMI clkdiv, and MSM8916 APCS
   - Amlogic Meson-AXG
   - ASPEED BMC

  Removed Drivers:
   - TI OMAP 3xxx legacy clk (non-DT) support
   - asm*/clkdev.h got removed (not really a driver)

  Updates:
   - Renesas FDP1-0 module clock on R-Car M3-W
   - Renesas LVDS module clock on R-Car V3M
   - Misc fixes to pr_err() prints
   - Qualcomm MSM8916 audio fixes
   - Qualcomm IPQ8074 rounded out support for more peripherals
   - Qualcomm Alpha PLL variants
   - Divider code was using container_of() on bad pointers
   - Allwinner DE2 clks on H3
   - Amlogic minor data fixes and dropping of CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED
   - Mediatek clk driver compile test support
   - AT91 PMC clk suspend/resume restoration support
   - PLL issues fixed on si5351
   - Broadcom IProc PLL calculation updates
   - DVFS support for Armada mvebu CPU clks
   - Allwinner fixed post-divider support
   - TI clkctrl fixes and support for newer SoCs"

Previously, the generated dis.h and facilities.h header files have been
stored in include/generated.  Because they are s390 specific, store them
in the arch/s390/include/generated/asm/ directory.  Also update
references to the header files respectively.

To prevent name collisions with those header files in asm/ that
include the generated ones, rename the generated headers files
and add an -defs suffix.  Also update the generators to create
the ifdef guards respectively.
