<title>dm writecache: handle DAX to partitions on persistent memory correctly</title>

<content type='text'>
The function dax_direct_access doesn't take partitions into account,
it always maps pages from the beginning of the device. Therefore,
persistent_memory_claim() must get the partition offset using
get_start_sect() and add it to the page offsets passed to
dax_direct_access().

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Add support for (optionally) using queued spinlocks &amp; rwlocks.

 - Support for a new faster system call ABI using the scv instruction on
   Power9 or later.

 - Drop support for the PROT_SAO mmap/mprotect flag as it will be
   unsupported on Power10 and future processors, leaving us with no way
   to implement the functionality it requests. This risks breaking
   userspace, though we believe it is unused in practice.

 - A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion
   checking. We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other
   architectures.

 - Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update
   code, which tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised
   systems, but was prone to crashes and other problems.

 - Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs.

 - A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link
   stack (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path.

 - Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as
   usual.

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
	xargs perl -pi -e \
		's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
		 s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.

Architectures like ppc64 provide persistent memory specific barriers
that will ensure that all stores for which the modifications are
written to persistent storage by preceding dcbfps and dcbstps
instructions have updated persistent storage before any data
access or data transfer caused by subsequent instructions is initiated.
This is in addition to the ordering done by wmb()

Update nvdimm core such that architecture can use barriers other than
wmb to ensure all previous writes are architecturally visible for
the platform buffer flush.
