      Pull more ARM SoC updates from Olof Johansson:
 "A few updates that we merged late but are low risk for regressions for
  other platforms (and a few other straggling patches):

   - I mis-tagged the 'drivers' branch, and missed 3 patches. Merged in
     here. They're for a driver for the PL353 SRAM controller and a
     build fix for the qualcomm scm driver.

   - A new platform, RDA Micro RDA8810PL (Cortex-A5 w/ integrated
     Vivante GPU, 256MB RAM, Wifi). This includes some acked
     platform-specific drivers (serial, etc). This also include DTs for
     two boards with this SoC, OrangePi 2G and OrangePi i86.

   - i.MX8 is another new platform (NXP, 4x Cortex-A53 + Cortex-M4, 4K
     video playback offload). This is the first i.MX 64-bit SoC.

   - Some minor updates to Samsung boards (adding a few peripherals in
     DTs).

   - Small rework for SMP bootup on STi platforms.

   - A couple of TEE driver fixes.

   - A couple of new config options (bcm2835 thermal, Uniphier MDMAC)
     enabled in defconfigs"

 "Included in this update:

   - Florian Fainelli noticed that userspace segfaults caused by the
     lack of kernel-userspace helpers was hard to diagnose; we now issue
     a warning when userspace tries to use the helpers but the kernel
     has them disabled.

   - Ben Dooks wants compatibility for the old ATAG serial number with
     DT systems.

   - Some cleanup of assembly by Nicolas Pitre.

   - User accessors optimisation from Vincent Whitchurch.

   - More robust kdump on SMP systems from Yufen Wang.

   - Sebastian Andrzej Siewior noticed problems with the SMP "boot_lock"
     on RT kernels, and so we convert the Versatile series of platforms
     to use a raw spinlock instead, consolidating the Versatile
     implementation. We entirely remove the boot_lock on OMAP systems,
     where it's unnecessary. Further patches for other systems will be
     submitted for the following merge window.

   - Start switching old StrongARM-11x0 systems to use gpiolib rather
     than their private GPIO implementation - mostly PCMCIA bits.

   - ARM Kconfig cleanups.

   - Cleanup a mostly harmless mistake in the recent Spectre patch in
     4.20 (which had the effect that data that can be placed into the
     init sections was incorrectly always placed in the rodata section)"

      x86: re-introduce non-generic memcpy_{to,from}io · 170d13ca
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This has been broken forever, and nobody ever really noticed because
it's purely a performance issue.

Long long ago, in commit 6175ddf0 ("x86: Clean up mem*io functions")
Brian Gerst simplified the memory copies to and from iomem, since on
x86, the instructions to access iomem are exactly the same as the
regular instructions.

That is technically true, and things worked, and nobody said anything.
Besides, back then the regular memcpy was pretty simple and worked fine.

Nobody noticed except for David Laight, that is.  David has a testing a
TLP monitor he was writing for an FPGA, and has been occasionally
complaining about how memcpy_toio() writes things one byte at a time.

Which is completely unacceptable from a performance standpoint, even if
it happens to technically work.

The reason it's writing one byte at a time is because while it's
technically true that accesses to iomem are the same as accesses to
regular memory on x86, the _granularity_ (and ordering) of accesses
matter to iomem in ways that they don't matter to regular cached memory.

In particular, when ERMS is set, we default to using "rep movsb" for
larger memory copies.  That is indeed perfectly fine for real memory,
since the whole point is that the CPU is going to do cacheline
optimizations and executes the memory copy efficiently for cached
memory.

With iomem? Not so much.  With iomem, "rep movsb" will indeed work, but
it will copy things one byte at a time. Slowly and ponderously.

Now, originally, back in 2010 when commit 6175ddf0 was done, we
didn't use ERMS, and this was much less noticeable.

Our normal memcpy() was simpler in other ways too.

Because in fact, it's not just about using the string instructions.  Our
memcpy() these days does things like "read and write overlapping values"
to handle the last bytes of the copy.  Again, for normal memory,
overlapping accesses isn't an issue.  For iomem? It can be.

So this re-introduces the specialized memcpy_toio(), memcpy_fromio() and
memset_io() functions.  It doesn't particularly optimize them, but it
tries to at least not be horrid, or do overlapping accesses.  In fact,
this uses the existing __inline_memcpy() function that we still had
lying around that uses our very traditional "rep movsl" loop followed by
movsw/movsb for the final bytes.

Somebody may decide to try to improve on it, but if we've gone almost a
decade with only one person really ever noticing and complaining, maybe
it's not worth worrying about further, once it's not _completely_ broken?

      Use __put_user_goto in __put_user_size() and unsafe_put_user() · a959dc88
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This actually enables the __put_user_goto() functionality in
unsafe_put_user().

For an example of the effect of this, this is the code generated for the

        unsafe_put_user(signo, &infop->si_signo, Efault);

in the waitid() system call:

	movl %ecx,(%rbx)        # signo, MEM[(struct __large_struct *)_2]

It's just one single store instruction, along with generating an
exception table entry pointing to the Efault label case in case that
instruction faults.

Before, we would generate this:

	xorl    %edx, %edx
	movl %ecx,(%rbx)        # signo, MEM[(struct __large_struct *)_3]
        testl   %edx, %edx
        jne     .L309

with the exception table generated for that 'mov' instruction causing us
to jump to a stub that set %edx to -EFAULT and then jumped back to the
'testl' instruction.

So not only do we now get rid of the extra code in the normal sequence,
we also avoid unnecessarily keeping that extra error register live
across it all.

      x86 uaccess: Introduce __put_user_goto · 4a789213
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This is finally the actual reason for the odd error handling in the
"unsafe_get/put_user()" functions, introduced over three years ago.

Using a "jump to error label" interface is somewhat odd, but very
convenient as a programming interface, and more importantly, it fits
very well with simply making the target be the exception handler address
directly from the inline asm.

The reason it took over three years to actually do this? We need "asm
goto" support for it, which only became the default on x86 last year.
It's now been a year that we've forced asm goto support (see commit
e501ce95 "x86: Force asm-goto"), and so let's just do it here too.

[ Side note: this commit was originally done back in 2016. The above
  commentary about timing is obviously about it only now getting merged
  into my real upstream tree     - Linus ]

Sadly, gcc still only supports "asm goto" with asms that do not have any
outputs, so we are limited to only the put_user case for this.  Maybe in
several more years we can do the get_user case too.
