<content type='text'>
Platforms subscribe into generic ptdump implementation via GENERIC_PTDUMP.
But generic ptdump gets enabled via PTDUMP_CORE.  These configs
combination is confusing as they sound very similar and does not
differentiate between platform's feature subscription and feature
enablement for ptdump.  Rename the configs as ARCH_HAS_PTDUMP and PTDUMP
making it more clear and improve readability.

All supported compilers today (gcc v5.1+ and clang v11+) have support for
-mcmodel=medium. As such, NO_MINIMAL_TOC is no longer being set. Remove
NO_MINIMAL_TOC as well as the fallback to -mminimal-toc.

<title>powerpc/mm: Convert to default topdown mmap layout</title>

<id>urn:sha1:36e5f9ee776cb6db6ab8cb9b056076c4492b9871</id>
<content type='text'>
Select CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_TOPDOWN_MMAP_LAYOUT and
remove arch/powerpc/mm/mmap.c

This change reuses the generic framework added by
commit 67f3977f805b ("arm64, mm: move generic mmap layout
functions to mm") without any functional change.

Comparison between powerpc implementation and the generic one:
- mmap_is_legacy() is identical.
- arch_mmap_rnd() does exactly the same allthough it's written
slightly differently.
- MIN_GAP and MAX_GAP are identical.
- mmap_base() does the same but uses STACK_RND_MASK which provides
the same values as stack_maxrandom_size().
- arch_pick_mmap_layout() is identical.

<title>mm: replace CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES with CONFIG_NUMA</title>

After removal of DISCINTIGMEM the NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and NUMA
configuration options are equivalent.

Drop CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and use CONFIG_NUMA instead.

Done with

	$ sed -i 's/CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES/CONFIG_NUMA/' \
		$(git grep -wl CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES)
	$ sed -i 's/NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES/NUMA/' \
		$(git grep -wl NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES)

with manual tweaks afterwards.

<title>powerpc/mm: Implement set_memory() routines</title>

<content type='text'>
The set_memory_{ro/rw/nx/x}() functions are required for
STRICT_MODULE_RWX, and are generally useful primitives to have.  This
implementation is designed to be generic across powerpc's many MMUs.
It's possible that this could be optimised to be faster for specific
MMUs.

This implementation does not handle cases where the caller is attempting
to change the mapping of the page it is executing from, or if another
CPU is concurrently using the page being altered.  These cases likely
shouldn't happen, but a more complex implementation with MMU-specific code
could safely handle them.

On hash, the linear mapping is not kept in the linux pagetable, so this
will not change the protection if used on that range. Currently these
functions are not used on the linear map so just WARN for now.

apply_to_existing_page_range() does not work on huge pages so for now
disallow changing the protection of huge pages.

[jpn: - Allow set memory functions to be used without Strict RWX
      - Hash: Disallow certain regions
      - Have change_page_attr() take function pointers to manipulate ptes
      - Radix: Add ptesync after set_pte_at()]

Pull kmap updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The new preemtible kmap_local() implementation:

   - Consolidate all kmap_atomic() internals into a generic
     implementation which builds the base for the kmap_local() API and
     make the kmap_atomic() interface wrappers which handle the
     disabling/enabling of preemption and pagefaults.

   - Switch the storage from per-CPU to per task and provide scheduler
     support for clearing mapping when scheduling out and restoring them
     when scheduling back in.

   - Merge the migrate_disable/enable() code, which is also part of the
     scheduler pull request. This was required to make the kmap_local()
     interface available which does not disable preemption when a
     mapping is established. It has to disable migration instead to
     guarantee that the virtual address of the mapped slot is the same
     across preemption.

   - Provide better debug facilities: guard pages and enforced
     utilization of the mapping mechanics on 64bit systems when the
     architecture allows it.

   - Provide the new kmap_local() API which can now be used to cleanup
     the kmap_atomic() usage sites all over the place. Most of the usage
     sites do not require the implicit disabling of preemption and
     pagefaults so the penalty on 64bit and 32bit non-highmem systems is
     removed and quite some of the code can be simplified. A wholesale
     conversion is not possible because some usage depends on the
     implicit side effects and some need to be cleaned up because they
     work around these side effects.

     The migrate disable side effect is only effective on highmem
     systems and when enforced debugging is enabled. On 64bit and 32bit
     non-highmem systems the overhead is completely avoided"
