2ff2b289a6 Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "Lots of changes:

   - (much) improved assembly annotation support in perf report, with
     jump visualization, searching, navigation, visual output
     improvements and more.

    - kernel support for AMD IBS PMU hardware features.  Notably 'perf
      record -e cycles:p' and 'perf top -e cycles:p' should work without
      skid now, like PEBS does on the Intel side, because it takes
      advantage of IBS transparently.

    - the libtracevents library: it is the first step towards unifying
      tracing tooling and perf, and it also gives a tracing library for
      external tools like powertop to rely on.

    - infrastructure: various improvements and refactoring of the UI
      modules and related code

    - infrastructure: cleanup and simplification of the profiling
      targets code (--uid, --pid, --tid, --cpu, --all-cpus, etc.)

    - tons of robustness fixes all around

    - various ftrace updates: speedups, cleanups, robustness
      improvements.

    - typing 'make' in tools/ will now give you a menu of projects to
      build and a short help text to explain what each does.

    - ... and lots of other changes I forgot to list.

  The perf record make bzImage + perf report regression you reported
  should be fixed."

9daeaa3705 Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/sparc-next
Pull sparc updates from David Miller:

1) Kill off support for sun4c and Cypress sun4m chips.

   And as a result we were able to also kill off that ugly btfixup thing
   that required multi-stage links of the final vmlinux image in the
   Kbuild system.  This should make the kbuild maintainers really happy.

   Thanks a lot to Sam Ravnborg for his tireless efforts to get this
   going.

2) Convert sparc64 to nobootmem.  I suspect now with sparc32 being a lot
   cleaner, it should be able to fall in line and modernize in this area
   too.

3) Make sparc32 use generic clockevents, from Tkhai Kirill.

[ I fixed up the BPF rules, and tried to clean up the build rules too.
  But I don't have - or want - a sparc cross-build environment, so the
  BPF rule bug and the related build cleanup was all done with just a
  bare "make -n" pseudo-test.      - Linus ]

1edc17832d sparc32: use flushi when run-time patching in per_cpu_patch
Davis S. Miller wrote:
"
The way we do that now is overkill.  We only needed to use the MMU
cache ops when we had sun4c around because sun4c lacked support for
the "flush" instruction.

But all sun4m and later chips have it so we can use it
unconditionally.

So in the per_cpu_patch() code, get rid of the cache ops invocation,
and instead execute a "flush %reg" after each of the instruction patch
assignments, where %reg is set to the address of the instruction that
was stored into.

Perhaps take the flushi() definition from asm/cacheflush_64.h and
place it into asm/cacheflush.h, then you can simply use that.
"

Implemented as per suggestion.
Moved run-time patching before we call paging_init(),
so helper methods in paging_init() may utilise run-time patching too.

1b35a57b1c sparc32: Kill off software 32-bit multiply/divide routines.
For the explicit calls to .udiv/.umul in assembler, I made a
mechanical (read as: safe) transformation.  I didn't attempt
to make any simplifications.

In particular, __ndelay and __udelay can be simplified significantly.
Some of the %y reads are unnecessary and these routines have no need
any longer for allocating a register window, they can be leaf
functions.

5d83d66635 sparc32: Move cache and TLB flushes over to method ops.
This eliminated most of the remaining users of btfixup.

There are some complications because of the special cases we
have for sun4d, leon, and some flavors of viking.

It was found that there are no cases where a flush_page_for_dma
method was not hooked up to something, so the "noflush" iommu
methods were removed.

Add some documentation to the viking_sun4d_smp_ops to describe exactly
the hardware bug which causes us to need special TLB flushing on
sun4d.

This set of changes displays one major danger of btfixup, interface
signatures are not always type checked fully.  As seen here the iounit

679bea5e43 sparc: Kill mmu_{un,}lockarea().
These were used on sun4c during floppy data transfers since on that
chip we had to lock the cpu mappings into the TLB because we cannot
take a TLB miss during the assembler floppy interrupt handler that
does the data transfer.

That is no longer necessary since we've removed sun4c support, thus
this stuff can disappear completely.

306f123162 sparc32: remove sun4c traps
We used to runtime patch the trap table for srmmu.
With the removal of sun4c support this is no longer required.

With the sun4c trap removed we can remove all the referenced
trap handling which is sun4c specific.
This also allows us to get rid of the nosun4c.c file that
contained only dummy functions/data.

2c1cfb2db6 sparc32: drop sun4c support
Machines with sun4c support are very rare these days, and noone
is using them for any practical purposes.
The sun4c support has been know broken for quite some time too.

So rather than trying to keep it up-to-date, lets get rid of it.
This allows us to do some very welcome cleanup of sparc32 support.

Updated the former sun4c specifc nmi (which was also used
for sun4m UP) to be a generic UP NMI.

45de6767dc KEYS: Use the compat keyctl() syscall wrapper on Sparc64 for Sparc32 compat
Use the 32-bit compat keyctl() syscall wrapper on Sparc64 for Sparc32 binary
compatibility.

Without this, keyctl(KEYCTL_INSTANTIATE_IOV) is liable to malfunction as it
uses an iovec array read from userspace - though the kernel should survive this
as it checks pointers and sizes anyway.

I think all the other keyctl() function should just work, provided (a) the top
32-bits of each 64-bit argument register are cleared prior to invoking the
syscall routine, and the 32-bit address space is right at the 0-end of the
64-bit address space.  Most of the arguments are 32-bit anyway, and so for
those clearing is not required.
