[ This resurrects commit 53855d10f456, which was reverted in
2b41226b39b6. It depended on commit d544abd5ff7d ("lib/radix-tree:
Convert to hotplug state machine") so now it is correct to apply ]
Patch "lib/radix-tree: Convert to hotplug state machine" breaks the test
suite as it adds a call to cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls() which is not
currently emulated in the test suite. Add it, and delete the emulation
of the old CPU hotplug mechanism.

Pull xfs updates from Dave Chinner:
"There is quite a varied bunch of stuff in this update, and some of it
you will have already merged through the ext4 tree which imported the
dax-4.10-iomap-pmd topic branch from the XFS tree.
There is also a new direct IO implementation that uses the iomap
infrastructure. It's much simpler, faster, and has lower IO latency
than the existing direct IO infrastructure.
Summary:
- DAX PMD faults via iomap infrastructure
- Direct-io support in iomap infrastructure
- removal of now-redundant XFS inode iolock, replaced with VFS
i_rwsem
- synchronisation with fixes and changes in userspace libxfs code
- extent tree lookup helpers
- lots of little corruption detection improvements to verifiers
- optimised CRC calculations

REQ_FUA/REQ_FLUSH where appropriate for data integrity now

It actively hurts proper merging, and makes for a lot of special cases.
There was a good(ish) reason for doing it originally, but it's getting
too painful to maintain. And most of the original reasons for it are
long gone.
So instead of having special code to flush partial lines to the console
(as opposed to the record buffers), do _all_ the console writing from
the record buffer, and be done with it.
If an oops happens (or some other synchronous event), we will flush the
partial lines due to the oops printing activity, so this does not affect
that. It does mean that if you have a completely hung machine, a
partial preceding line may not have been printed out.
That was some of the original reason for this complexity, in fact, back
when we used to test for the historical i386 "halt" instruction problem
by doing
pr_info("Checking 'hlt' instruction... ");
if (!boot_cpu_data.hlt_works_ok) {
pr_cont("disabled\n");
return;
}
halt();
halt();
halt();
halt();
pr_cont("OK\n");
and that model no longer works (it the 'hlt' instruction kills the
machine, the partial line won't have been flushed, so you won't even see
it).
Of course, that was also back in the days when people actually had
textual console output rather than a graphical splash-screen at bootup.
How times change..

The record logging code looks at the previous record flags in various
ways, and they are all wrong.
You can't use the previous record flags to determine anything about the
next record, because they may simply not be related. In particular, the
reason the previous record was a continuation record may well be exactly
_because_ the new record was printed by a different process, which is
why the previous record was flushed.
So all those games are simply wrong, and make the code hard to
understand (because the code fundamentally cdoes not make sense).
So remove it.

want to make the device interface mandatory, though, plenty of people

Jaegeuk Kim reports that the debian kernel package build gets confused
by the lack of Documentation/Changes file. We also refer to that path
name in ver_linux and various how-to files and Kconfig files.
The file got renamed away in commit 186128f75392 ("docs-rst: add
documents to development-process"), and as Jaegeuk Kim points out, the
commit message for that change says "use symlinks instead of renames",
but then the commit itself actually does renames after all.
Maybe we should do the other files too, but for now this just adds the
minimal symlink back to the historical name, so that people looking for
Documentation/Changes will actually find what they are looking for, and
the debian scripts continue to work.

was added to the kernel. Remove it to reduce confusion.

but we were missing a check that clearing a tag on that same entry also
succeeds.
