Move the following task-&gt;mm helper APIs into a new header file,
&lt;linux/sched/mm.h&gt;, to further reduce the size and complexity
of &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;.

<title>sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to &lt;linux/sched/topology.h&gt;</title>

We are going to split &lt;linux/sched/topology.h&gt; out of &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder &lt;linux/sched/topology.h&gt; file that just
maps to &lt;linux/sched.h&gt; to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

<content type='text'>
So the original intention of tsk_cpus_allowed() was to 'future-proof'
the field - but it's pretty ineffectual at that, because half of
the code uses -&gt;cpus_allowed directly ...

Also, the wrapper makes the code longer than the original expression!

So just get rid of it. This also shrinks &lt;linux/sched.h&gt; a bit.

<title>mm: add new mmgrab() helper</title>

<content type='text'>
Apart from adding the helper function itself, the rest of the kernel is
converted mechanically using:

  git grep -l 'atomic_inc.*mm_count' | xargs sed -i 's/atomic_inc(&amp;\(.*\)-&gt;mm_count);/mmgrab\(\1\);/'
  git grep -l 'atomic_inc.*mm_count' | xargs sed -i 's/atomic_inc(&amp;\(.*\)\.mm_count);/mmgrab\(\&amp;\1\);/'

This is needed for a later patch that hooks into the helper, but might
be a worthwhile cleanup on its own.

(Michal Hocko provided most of the kerneldoc comment.)

<title>powerpc: Change places using CONFIG_KEXEC to use CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE instead.</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit 2965faa5e03d ("kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core
code") introduced CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE so that CONFIG_KEXEC means whether
the kexec_load system call should be compiled-in and CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE
means whether the kexec_file_load system call should be compiled-in.
These options can be set independently from each other.

Since until now powerpc only supported kexec_load, CONFIG_KEXEC and
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE were synonyms. That is not the case anymore, so we
need to make a distinction. Almost all places where CONFIG_KEXEC was
being used should be using CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE instead, since
kexec_file_load also needs that code compiled in.

The reason of this is that in __cpu_disable(), when we try to set the
cpu_sibling_mask or cpu_core_mask of the sibling CPUs of the disabled
one, we don't check whether the current configuration employs those
sibling CPUs(hw threads). And if a CPU is not employed by a
configuration, the percpu structures cpu_{sibling,core}_mask are not
allocated, therefore accessing those cpumasks will result in problems as
above.

This patch fixes this problem by adding an addition check on whether the
id is no less than nr_cpu_ids in the sibling CPU iteration code.

<title>powerpc: Move cpu_has_feature() to a separate file</title>

<content type='text'>
We plan to use jump label for cpu_has_feature(). In order to implement
this we need to include the linux/jump_label.h in asm/cputable.h.

Unfortunately if we do that it leads to an include loop. The root of the
problem seems to be that reg.h needs cputable.h (for CPU_FTRs), and then
cputable.h via jump_label.h eventually pulls in hw_irq.h which needs
reg.h (for MSR_EE).

So move cpu_has_feature() to a separate file on its own.

Export cpu_to_core_id(). This will be used by the lpfc driver.

This enables topology_core_id() from &lt;linux/topology.h&gt; (defined
to cpu_to_core_id() in arch/powerpc/include/asm/topology.h) to be
used by (non-builtin) modules.

That is arch-neutral, already used by eg, drivers/base/topology.c,
but it is builtin (obj-y in Makefile) thus didn't need the export.

Since the module uses topology_core_id() and this is defined to
cpu_to_core_id(), it needs the export, otherwise:

    ERROR: "cpu_to_core_id" [drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc.ko] undefined!

Tested on next-20160601.

Sometimes headers that provide prototypes for functions are
accidentally omitted from the files that define the functions.

Fix a couple of times that occurs.

This silences some sparse warnings.
