Pull ARM updates from Russell King:

 - An improvement from Ard Biesheuvel, who noted that the identity map
   setup was taking a long time due to flush_cache_louis().

 - Update a comment about dma_ops from Wolfram Sang.

 - Remove use of "-p" with ld, where this flag has been a no-op since
   2004.

 - Remove the printing of the virtual memory layout, which is no longer
   useful since we hide pointers.

 - Correct SCU help text.

 - Remove legacy TWD registration method.

 - Add pgprot_device() implementation for mapping PCI sysfs resource
   files.

 - Initialise PFN limits earlier for kmemleak.

 - Fix argument count to match macro definition (affects clang builds)

 - Use unified assembler language almost everywhere for clang, and other
   clang improvements (from Stefan Agner, Nathan Chancellor).

 - Support security extension for noMMU and other noMMU cleanups (from
   Vladimir Murzin).

 - Remove unnecessary SMP bringup code (which was incorrectly copy'n'
   pasted from the ARM platform implementations) and remove it from the
   arch code to discourge further copys of it appearing.

 - Add Cortex A9 erratum preventing kexec working on some SoCs.

 - AMBA bus identification updates from Mike Leach.

 - More use of raw spinlocks to avoid -RT kernel issues (from Yang Shi
   and Sebastian Andrzej Siewior).

 - MCPM hyp/svc mode mismatch fixes from Marek Szyprowski.

<title>lib/raid6: arm: optimize away a mask operation in NEON recovery routine</title>

<content type='text'>
The NEON recovery code was modeled after the x86 SIMD code, and for
some reason, that code uses a 16 bit wide signed shift and a mask to
perform what amounts to a 8 bit unsigned shift. So fold the ops
together.

<title>lib/raid6: use vdupq_n_u8 to avoid endianness warnings</title>

Clang warns: vector initializers are not compatible with NEON intrinsics
in big endian mode [-Wnonportable-vector-initialization]

While this is usually the case, it's not an issue for this case since
we're initializing the uint8x16_t (16x uint8_t's) with the same value.

Instead, use vdupq_n_u8 which both compilers lower into a single movi
instruction: https://godbolt.org/z/vBrgzt

This avoids the static storage for a constant value.

While building arm32 allyesconfig, I ran into the following errors:

  arch/arm/lib/xor-neon.c:17:2: error: You should compile this file with
  '-mfloat-abi=softfp -mfpu=neon'

  In file included from lib/raid6/neon1.c:27:
  /home/nathan/cbl/prebuilt/lib/clang/8.0.0/include/arm_neon.h:28:2:
  error: "NEON support not enabled"

Building V=1 showed NEON_FLAGS getting passed along to Clang but
__ARM_NEON__ was not getting defined. Ultimately, it boils down to Clang
only defining __ARM_NEON__ when targeting armv7, rather than armv6k,
which is the '-march' value for allyesconfig.

&gt;From lib/Basic/Targets/ARM.cpp in the Clang source:

  // This only gets set when Neon instructions are actually available, unlike
  // the VFP define, hence the soft float and arch check. This is subtly
  // different from gcc, we follow the intent which was that it should be set
  // when Neon instructions are actually available.
  if ((FPU &amp; NeonFPU) &amp;&amp; !SoftFloat &amp;&amp; ArchVersion &gt;= 7) {
    Builder.defineMacro("__ARM_NEON", "1");
    Builder.defineMacro("__ARM_NEON__");
    // current AArch32 NEON implementations do not support double-precision
    // floating-point even when it is present in VFP.
    Builder.defineMacro("__ARM_NEON_FP",
                        "0x" + Twine::utohexstr(HW_FP &amp; ~HW_FP_DP));
  }

Ard Biesheuvel recommended explicitly adding '-march=armv7-a' at the
beginning of the NEON_FLAGS definitions so that __ARM_NEON__ always gets
definined by Clang. This doesn't functionally change anything because
that code will only run where NEON is supported, which is implicitly
armv7.

Since commit 9c2af1c7377a ("kbuild: add .DELETE_ON_ERROR special
target"), the target file is automatically deleted on failure.

The boilerplate code

  ... || { rm -f $@; false; }

This is helpful for systems where fast startup time is important.
It is especially nice to avoid benchmarking RAID functions that are
never used (for example, BTRFS selects RAID6_PQ even if the parity RAID
mode is not in use).

This saves 250+ milliseconds of boot time on modern x86 and ARM systems
with a dozen or more available implementations.

The new option is defaulted to 'y' to match the previous behavior of
always benchmarking on init.

<content type='text'>
Sort the list of RAID6 algorithms in roughly decreasing order of
expected performance: newer instruction sets first (within each
architecture) and wider unrollings first.

This doesn't make any difference right now, since all functions are
benchmarked; a follow-up change will make use of this by optionally
choosing the first valid function rather than testing all of them.

The Itanium raid6_intx{16,32} entries are also moved down to be near the
other raid6_intx entries for clarity.
