As it happens, two obj-$(CONFIG_FOO) += foo.o variables are
above obj-y := core.o, which doesn't work: the += directives
need to add something to the build and doesn't work if obj-y
is not set first, so move the obj-y to be on top and everything
builds nicely again.

      ARM: debug-ll: fix BCM63xx entry for multiplatform · 6c548099
      Arnd Bergmann authored 
      

During my randconfig build testing, I found that a kernel with
DEBUG_AT91_UART and ARCH_BCM_63XX fails to build:

arch/arm/include/debug/at91.S:18:0: error: "CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_VIRT" redefined [-Werror]

It turns out that the DEBUG_UART_BCM63XX option is enabled whenever
the ARCH_BCM_63XX is, and that breaks multiplatform kernels because
we then end up using the UART address from BCM63XX rather than the
one we actually configured (if any).

This changes the BCM63XX options to only have one Kconfig option,
and only enable that if the user explicitly turns it on.

      kvm: rename pfn_t to kvm_pfn_t · ba049e93
      Dan Williams authored 
      To date, we have implemented two I/O usage models for persistent memory,
PMEM (a persistent "ram disk") and DAX (mmap persistent memory into
userspace).  This series adds a third, DAX-GUP, that allows DAX mappings
to be the target of direct-i/o.  It allows userspace to coordinate
DMA/RDMA from/to persistent memory.

The implementation leverages the ZONE_DEVICE mm-zone that went into
4.3-rc1 (also discussed at kernel summit) to flag pages that are owned
and dynamically mapped by a device driver.  The pmem driver, after
mapping a persistent memory range into the system memmap via
devm_memremap_pages(), arranges for DAX to distinguish pfn-only versus
page-backed pmem-pfns via flags in the new pfn_t type.

The DAX code, upon seeing a PFN_DEV+PFN_MAP flagged pfn, flags the
resulting pte(s) inserted into the process page tables with a new
_PAGE_DEVMAP flag.  Later, when get_user_pages() is walking ptes it keys
off _PAGE_DEVMAP to pin the device hosting the page range active.
Finally, get_page() and put_page() are modified to take references
against the device driver established page mapping.

Finally, this need for "struct page" for persistent memory requires
memory capacity to store the memmap array.  Given the memmap array for a
large pool of persistent may exhaust available DRAM introduce a
mechanism to allocate the memmap from persistent memory.  The new
"struct vmem_altmap *" parameter to devm_memremap_pages() enables
arch_add_memory() to use reserved pmem capacity rather than the page
allocator.

This patch (of 18):

The core has developed a need for a "pfn_t" type [1].  Move the existing
pfn_t in KVM to kvm_pfn_t [2].

MADV_FREE needs pmd_dirty and pmd_mkclean for detecting recent overwrite
of the contents since MADV_FREE syscall is called for THP page.

This patch adds pmd_mkclean for THP page MADV_FREE support.

      mm: differentiate page_mapped() from page_mapcount() for compound pages · e1534ae9
      Kirill A. Shutemov authored 
      

Let's define page_mapped() to be true for compound pages if any
sub-pages of the compound page is mapped (with PMD or PTE).

On other hand page_mapcount() return mapcount for this particular small
page.

This will make cases like page_get_anon_vma() behave correctly once we
allow huge pages to be mapped with PTE.

Most users outside core-mm should use page_mapcount() instead of
page_mapped().

With new refcounting we don't need to mark PMDs splitting.  Let's drop
code to handle this.

pmdp_splitting_flush() is not needed too: on splitting PMD we will do
pmdp_clear_flush() + set_pte_at().  pmdp_clear_flush() will do IPI as
needed for fast_gup.
