msi.h is generic for all architectures except x86, which has its own
version.  Enabling MSI by adding msi.h to every architecture's Kbuild is
just an additional step which doesn't need to be done.

Make msi.h mandatory in the asm-generic/Kbuild so we don't have to do it
for each architecture.

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.

<title>KVM: export &lt;linux/kvm_para.h&gt; and &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt; iif KVM is supported</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3d9683cf3bfb6d4e4605a153958dfca7e18b52f2</id>
<content type='text'>
I do not see any consistency about headers_install of &lt;linux/kvm_para.h&gt;
and &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt;.

According to my analysis of Linux 5.1-rc1, there are 3 groups:

 [1] Both &lt;linux/kvm_para.h&gt; and &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt; are exported

    alpha, arm, hexagon, mips, powerpc, s390, sparc, x86

 [2] &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt; is exported, but &lt;linux/kvm_para.h&gt; is not

    arc, arm64, c6x, h8300, ia64, m68k, microblaze, nios2, openrisc,
    parisc, sh, unicore32, xtensa

 [3] Neither &lt;linux/kvm_para.h&gt; nor &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt; is exported

    csky, nds32, riscv

This does not match to the actual KVM support. At least, [2] is
half-baked.

Nor do arch maintainers look like they care about this. For example,
commit 0add53713b1c ("microblaze: Add missing kvm_para.h to Kbuild")
exported &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt; to user-space in order to fix an in-kernel
build error.

We have two ways to make this consistent:

 [A] export both &lt;linux/kvm_para.h&gt; and &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt; for all
     architectures, irrespective of the KVM support

 [B] Match the header export of &lt;linux/kvm_para.h&gt; and &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt;
     to the KVM support

My first attempt was [A] because the code looks cleaner, but Paolo
suggested [B].

So, this commit goes with [B].

For most architectures, &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt; was moved to the kernel-space.
I changed include/uapi/linux/Kbuild so that it checks generated
asm/kvm_para.h as well as check-in ones.

After this commit, there will be two groups:

 [1] Both &lt;linux/kvm_para.h&gt; and &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt; are exported

    arm, arm64, mips, powerpc, s390, x86

 [2] Neither &lt;linux/kvm_para.h&gt; nor &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt; is exported

    alpha, arc, c6x, csky, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m68k, microblaze,
    nds32, nios2, openrisc, parisc, riscv, sh, sparc, unicore32, xtensa

System call table generation script must be run to gener-

This patch will have changes which will invokes the script.

This patch will generate unistd_32/64.h and syscall_table-
_32/64/c32.h files by the syscall table generation script
invoked by parisc/Makefile and the generated files against
the removed files must be identical.

The generated uapi header file will be included in uapi/-

will be included by kernel/systbls_32/64.S file.

<content type='text'>
Since commit fcc8487d477a ("uapi: export all headers under uapi
directories"), all (and only) headers under uapi directories are
exported, but asm-generic wrappers are still exceptions.

To complete de-coupling the uapi from kernel headers, move generic-y
of exported headers to uapi/asm/Kbuild.

With this change, "make headers_install" will just need to parse
uapi/asm/Kbuild to build up exported headers.
