ARM: 9467/1: mm: Don't use %pK through printk
ARM big-endian has two different binary formats. BE8 and the older BE32.
They are incompatible with each other.
Handle those when evaluating ARCH_CC_CAN_LINK by using the respective
configuration of the kernel itself.

The generic CC_CAN_LINK detection does not handle different byte orders.
This may lead to userprogs which are not actually runnable on the target
kernel.
Use architecture-specific logic supporting byte orders instead.

Remove the arch-specific variant of paravirt_steal_clock() and use
the common one instead.
This allows to remove paravirt.c and paravirt.h from arch/arm.
Until all archs supporting Xen have been switched to the common code
of paravirt_steal_clock(), drivers/xen/time.c needs to include
asm/paravirt.h for those archs, while this is not necessary for arm
any longer.

gup_pgd_range() is invoked with disabled interrupts and invokes
__kmap_local_page_prot() via pte_offset_map(), gup_p4d_range().
With HIGHPTE enabled, __kmap_local_page_prot() invokes kmap_high_get()
which uses a spinlock_t via lock_kmap_any(). This leads to an
sleeping-while-atomic error on PREEMPT_RT because spinlock_t becomes a
sleeping lock and must not be acquired in atomic context.
The loop in map_new_virtual() uses wait_queue_head_t for wake up which
also is using a spinlock_t.
Since HIGHPTE is rarely needed at all, turn it off for PREEMPT_RT
to allow the use of get_user_pages_fast().
[arnd: rework patch to turn off HIGHPTE instead of HAVE_PAST_GUP]

jump-labels are used to efficiently switch between two possible code
paths. To achieve this, stop_machine() is used to keep the CPU in a
known state while the opcode is modified. The usage of stop_machine()
here leads to large latency spikes which can be observed on PREEMPT_RT.
Jump labels may change the target during runtime and are not restricted
to debug or "configuration/ setup" part of a PREEMPT_RT system where
high latencies could be defined as acceptable.
On 64-bit Arm, it is possible to use jump labels without the
stop_machine() call, which architecturally provides a way to atomically
change one 32-bit instruction word while keeping maintaining consistency,
but this is not generally the case on 32-bit, in particular in thumb2
mode.
Disable jump-label support on a PREEMPT_RT system when SMP is enabled.

As of writing, Documentation/Changes states the minimal versions of GNU C
being 8.1, Clang being 15.0.0 and binutils being 2.30. A few Kconfig help
texts are pointing out that specific GCC and Clang versions are needed,
but by now, those pointers to versions, such later than 4.0, later than
4.4, or clang later than 5.0, are obsolete and unlikely to be found by
users configuring their kernel builds anyway.
Drop these outdated remarks in Kconfig help texts referring to older
compiler and binutils versions. No functional change.

The kernel's CFI implementation uses the KCFI ABI specifically, and is
not strictly tied to a particular compiler. In preparation for GCC
supporting KCFI, rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (along with
associated options).
Use new "transitional" Kconfig option for old CONFIG_CFI_CLANG that will
enable CONFIG_CFI during olddefconfig.

Having a platform need a mach-* directory should be seen as a negative,
it means the platform needs special non-standard handling. ARM64 support
does not allow mach-* directories at all. While we may not get to that
given all the non-standard architectures we support, we should still try
to get as close as we can and reduce the number of mach directories.
The mach-hpe/ directory and files, provides just one "feature":
having the kernel print the machine name if the DTB does not also contain
a "model" string (which they always do). To reduce the number of mach-*
directories let's do without that feature and remove this directory.
Note, we drop the l2c_aux_mask = ~0 line, but this is safe as
the fallback GENERIC_DT machine has that as the default.

Pull tracepoint cleanup from Steven Rostedt:
"Remove or hide unused tracepoints
Tracepoints take up memory (around 5K per tracepoint) even when they
are unused. Changes are being made to detect when a tracepoint is
defined but unused and a warning is shown at build. But those changes
are not yet ready for inclusion.
- Fix some of the unused tracepoints that it detected
Some tracepoints were removed and others were hidden by config
settings to match the config settings of where they are
instantiated. Some tracepoints were moved into architecture
specific code as only one architecture used them.
- Call the ftrace_test_filter tracepoint in an unreachable if
statement
The ftrace_test_filter tracepoint which is defined when ftrace
selftests are configured and is used to test the filter logic, but
the tracepoint is not actually called. It is put into an if

not being used"

Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Keep track of when fgraph_ops are registered or not
Keep accounting of when fgraph_ops are registered as if a fgraph_ops
is registered twice it can mess up the accounting and it will not
work as expected later. Trigger a warning if something registers it
twice as to catch bugs before they are found by things just not
working as expected.
- Make DYNAMIC_FTRACE always enabled for architectures that support it
As static ftrace (where all functions are always traced) is very
expensive and only exists to help architectures support ftrace, do
not make it an option. As soon as an architecture supports
DYNAMIC_FTRACE make it use it. This simplifies the code.
- Remove redundant config HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD
The CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT was added to help simplify the
DYNAMIC_FTRACE work, but now every architecture that implements
DYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it
redundant with the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE.
- Make pid_ptr string size match the comment
In print_graph_proc() the pid_ptr string is of size 11, but the
comment says /* sign + log10(MAX_INT) + '\0' */ which is actually 12.

- Reorganize the architecture-optimized CRC code

The generic CRC code is also no longer exported, simplifying the API.
(This mirrors the similar changes to SHA-1 and SHA-2 in lib/crypto/,
which can be found in the "Crypto library updates" pull request)
- Improve crc32c() performance on newer x86_64 CPUs on long messages by
enabling the VPCLMULQDQ optimized code
- Simplify the crypto_shash wrappers for crc32_le() and crc32c()
Register just one shash algorithm for each that uses the (fully
optimized) library functions, instead of unnecessarily providing
direct access to the generic CRC code
