Complement the u16, u32 and u64 helpers with a u8 variant to ease
accessing byte-sized values.
This helper will be useful for Realtek Digital Home Center platforms,
which store some byte and sub-byte sized values in non-volatile memory.

The 'struct nvmem_config' has a stride attribute that specifies the
needed alignment for accesses into the nvmem. This is used in
nvmem_cell_info_to_nvmem_cell() but not in the sysfs read/write
functions. If the alignment is important in one place it's important
everywhere, so let's add enforcement.
For now we'll consider it totally invalid to access with the wrong
alignment. We could relax this in the read case where we could just
read some extra bytes and throw them away. Relaxing it in the write
case seems harder (and less safe?) since we'd have to read some data
first and then write it back. To keep it symmetric we'll just
disallow it in both cases.

Binder is designed such that a binder_proc never has references to
itself. If this rule is violated, memory corruption can occur when a
process sends a transaction to itself; see e.g.
<https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=09e05aba06723a94d43d>.
There is a remaining edgecase through which such a transaction-to-self
can still occur from the context of a task with BINDER_SET_CONTEXT_MGR
access:
- task A opens /dev/binder twice, creating binder_proc instances P1
and P2
- P1 becomes context manager
- P2 calls ACQUIRE on the magic handle 0, allocating index 0 in its
handle table
- P1 dies (by closing the /dev/binder fd and waiting a bit)
- P2 becomes context manager
- P2 calls ACQUIRE on the magic handle 0, allocating index 1 in its
handle table
[this triggers a warning: "binder: 1974:1974 tried to acquire
reference to desc 0, got 1 instead"]
- task B opens /dev/binder once, creating binder_proc instance P3
- P3 calls P2 (via magic handle 0) with (void*)1 as argument (two-way
transaction)
- P2 receives the handle and uses it to call P3 (two-way transaction)
- P3 calls P2 (via magic handle 0) (two-way transaction)
- P2 calls P2 (via handle 1) (two-way transaction)
And then, if P2 does *NOT* accept the incoming transaction work, but
instead closes the binder fd, we get a crash.
Solve it by preventing the context manager from using ACQUIRE on ref 0.
There shouldn't be any legitimate reason for the context manager to do
that.
Additionally, print a warning if someone manages to find another way to
trigger a transaction-to-self bug in the future.

I've confirmed that the ASMedia ASM1142 has the same problem as the
ASM2142/ASM3142, in that it too reports that it supports 64-bit DMA
addresses when in fact it does not. As with the ASM2142/ASM3142, this
can cause problems on systems where the upper bits matter, and adding
the XHCI_NO_64BIT_SUPPORT quirk completely fixes the issue.

0day reported a possible circular locking dependency:
Chain exists of:
&irq_desc_lock_class --> console_owner --> &port_lock_key
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(&port_lock_key);
lock(console_owner);
lock(&port_lock_key);
lock(&irq_desc_lock_class);
The reason for this is a printk() in the i8259 interrupt chip driver
which is invoked with the irq descriptor lock held, which reverses the
lock operations vs. printk() from arbitrary contexts.
Switch the printk() to printk_deferred() to avoid that.

Preemption must be disabled before entering a sequence count write side
critical section. Failing to do so, the seqcount read side can preempt
the write side section and spin for the entire scheduler tick. If that
reader belongs to a real-time scheduling class, it can spin forever and
the kernel will livelock.

Asserting that preemption is enabled or disabled is a critical sanity
check. Developers are usually reluctant to add such a check in a
fastpath as reading the preemption count can be costly.
Extend the lockdep API with macros asserting that preemption is disabled
or enabled. If lockdep is disabled, or if the underlying architecture
does not support kernel preemption, this assert has no runtime overhead.

raw_seqcount_begin() has the same code as raw_read_seqcount(), with the
exception of masking the sequence counter's LSB before returning it to
the caller.
Note, raw_seqcount_begin() masks the counter's LSB before returning it
to the caller so that read_seqcount_retry() can fail if the counter is
odd -- without the overhead of an extra branching instruction.

The seqlock.h seqcount_t and seqlock_t API definitions are presented in
the chronological order of their development rather than the order that
makes most sense to readers. This makes it hard to follow and understand
the header file code.
Group and reorder all of the exported seqlock.h functions according to
their function.
First, group together the seqcount_t standard read path functions:
- __read_seqcount_begin()
- raw_read_seqcount_begin()
- read_seqcount_begin()
since each function is implemented exactly in terms of the one above
it. Then, group the special-case seqcount_t readers on their own as:
- raw_read_seqcount()
- raw_seqcount_begin()
since the only difference between the two functions is that the second
one masks the sequence counter LSB while the first one does not. Note
that raw_seqcount_begin() can actually be implemented in terms of
raw_read_seqcount(), which will be done in a follow-up commit.
Then, group the seqcount_t write path functions, instead of injecting
unrelated seqcount_t latch functions between them, and order them as:
- raw_write_seqcount_begin()
- raw_write_seqcount_end()
- write_seqcount_begin_nested()
- write_seqcount_begin()
- write_seqcount_end()
- raw_write_seqcount_barrier()
- write_seqcount_invalidate()
which is the expected natural order. This also isolates the seqcount_t
latch functions into their own area, at the end of the sequence counters
section, and before jumping to the next one: sequential locks
(seqlock_t).
Do a similar grouping and reordering for seqlock_t "locking" readers vs.
the "conditionally locking or lockless" ones.
No implementation code was changed in any of the reordering above.

The seqcount_t latch reader example at the raw_write_seqcount_latch()
kernel-doc comment ends the latch read section with a manual smp memory
barrier and sequence counter comparison.
This is technically correct, but it is suboptimal: read_seqcount_retry()
already contains the same logic of an smp memory barrier and sequence
counter comparison.
End the latch read critical section example with read_seqcount_retry().

Proper documentation for the design and usage of sequence counters and
sequential locks does not exist. Complete the seqlock.h documentation as
follows:
- Divide all documentation on a seqcount_t vs. seqlock_t basis. The
description for both mechanisms was intermingled, which is incorrect
since the usage constrains for each type are vastly different.
- Add an introductory paragraph describing the internal design of, and
rationale for, sequence counters.
- Document seqcount_t writer non-preemptibility requirement, which was
not previously documented anywhere, and provide a clear rationale.
- Provide template code for seqcount_t and seqlock_t initialization
and reader/writer critical sections.
- Recommend using seqlock_t by default. It implicitly handles the
serialization and non-preemptibility requirements of writers.
At seqlock.h:
- Remove references to brlocks as they've long been removed from the
kernel.
- Remove references to gcc-3.x since the kernel's minimum supported
gcc version is 4.9.

This patch breaks a header loop involving qspinlock_types.h.
The issue is that qspinlock_types.h includes atomic.h, which then
eventually includes kernel.h which could lead back to the original
file via spinlock_types.h.
As ATOMIC_INIT is now defined by linux/types.h, there is no longer
any need to include atomic.h from qspinlock_types.h. This also
allows the CONFIG_PARAVIRT hack to be removed since it was trying
to prevent exactly this loop.

This patch moves ATOMIC_INIT from asm/atomic.h into linux/types.h.
This allows users of atomic_t to use ATOMIC_INIT without having to
include atomic.h as that way may lead to header loops.

Qian reported that the current setup forgoes the Kconfig dependencies and
results in warnings such as:
WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for SCHED_THERMAL_PRESSURE
Depends on [n]: SMP [=y] && CPU_FREQ_THERMAL [=n]
Selected by [y]:
- ARM64 [=y]
Revert commit
e17ae7fea871 ("arm, arm64: Select CONFIG_SCHED_THERMAL_PRESSURE")
and re-implement it by making the option default to 'y' for arm64 and arm,
which respects Kconfig dependencies (i.e. will remain 'n' if
CPU_FREQ_THERMAL=n).
Fixes: e17ae7fea871 ("arm, arm64: Select CONFIG_SCHED_THERMAL_PRESSURE")
