The irqdomain semantics were supposed to be such that a linear
domain would be used if the passed first_irq was zero or
negative, but I got it wrong so only passing zero as first_irq
will work properly. Well, zero is NO_IRQ these days so let's
pass zero. The semantics of irqdomain_add_simple() will be
fixed in a separate patch.

Since in the DT case, the linear domain path will not allocate
descriptors for the IRQs, we need to use irq_create_mapping()
for mapping hwirqs to Linux IRQs, so these descriptors get
created on-the-fly in this case.
ChangeLog v1->v2:
- Just use irq_create_mapping() in the .to_irq function since
this is called before unmasking or enabling any interrupt
lines, so irq_find_mapping() should be sufficient for the
IRQ handler function.

In theory, that function could release the lru lock between
checking for bo on ddestroy list and a successful reserve if the bo
was already reserved, and the function was called with waiting reserves
allowed.
However, all current reservers of a bo on the ddestroy list would
atomically take the bo off the list after a successful reserve so this
race should not have been hit, so no need to backport for stable.
This patch also fixes a case found by Maarten Lankhorst where
ttm_mem_evict_first called with no_wait_gpu would incorrectly
spin waiting for bo idle if trying to evict a busy buffer that
also sits on the ddestroy list.

When booting a secondary CPU, the primary CPU hands two sets of page
tables via the secondary_data struct:
(1) swapper_pg_dir: a normal, cacheable, shared (if SMP) mapping
of the kernel image (i.e. the tables used by init_mm).
(2) idmap_pgd: an uncached mapping of the .idmap.text ELF
section.
The idmap is generally used when enabling and disabling the MMU, which
includes early CPU boot. In this case, the secondary CPU switches to
swapper as soon as it enters C code:
struct mm_struct *mm = &init_mm;
unsigned int cpu = smp_processor_id();
/*
* All kernel threads share the same mm context; grab a
* reference and switch to it.
*/
atomic_inc(&mm->mm_count);
current->active_mm = mm;
cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(mm));
cpu_switch_mm(mm->pgd, mm);
This causes a problem on ARMv7, where the identity mapping is treated as
strongly-ordered leading to architecturally UNPREDICTABLE behaviour of
exclusive accesses, such as those used by atomic_inc.
This patch re-orders the secondary_start_kernel function so that we
switch to swapper before performing any exclusive accesses.

Commit 7f8d4cad1e4e ("Input: extend the number of event (and other)
devices") made evdev, joydev and mousedev to embed struct cdev into
their respective structures representing input devices.
Unfortunately character device structure may outlive the parent
structure unless we do not set it up as parent of character device so
that it will stay pinned until character device is freed.
Also, now that parent structure is pinned while character device exists
we do not need to pin and unpin it every time user opens or closes it.

In certain cases (for example when a cdev structure is embedded into
another object whose lifetime is controlled by a separate kobject) it is
beneficial to tie lifetime of another object to the lifetime of
character device so that related object is not freed until after
char_dev object is freed.
To achieve this let's pin kobject's parent when doing cdev_add() and
unpin when last reference to cdev structure is being released.

In mke2fs, we only checksum the whole bitmap block and it is right.
While in the kernel, we use EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP to indicate the
size of the checksumed bitmap which is wrong when we enable bigalloc.
The right size should be EXT4_CLUSTERS_PER_GROUP and this patch fixes
it.
Also as every caller of ext4_block_bitmap_csum_set and
ext4_block_bitmap_csum_verify pass in EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb)/8,
we'd better removes this parameter and sets it in the function itself.

An interesting effect of using the generic version of linkage.h
is that the padding is defined in terms of x86 NOPs, which can have
even more interesting effects when the assembly code looks like this:
ENTRY(func1)
mov x0, xzr
ENDPROC(func1)
// fall through
ENTRY(func2)
mov x0, #1
ret
ENDPROC(func2)
Admittedly, the code is not very nice. But having code from another
architecture doesn't look completely sane either.
The fix is to add arm64's version of linkage.h, which causes the insertion
of proper AArch64 NOPs.
