Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Livepatch support for 32-bit is probably the standout new feature,
  otherwise mostly just lots of bits and pieces all over the board.

  There's a series of commits cleaning up function descriptor handling,
  which touches a few other arches as well as LKDTM. It has acks from
  Arnd, Kees and Helge.

  Summary:

   - Enforce kernel RO, and implement STRICT_MODULE_RWX for 603.

   - Add support for livepatch to 32-bit.

   - Implement CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS.

   - Merge vdso64 and vdso32 into a single directory.

   - Fix build errors with newer binutils.

   - Add support for UADDR64 relocations, which are emitted by some
     toolchains. This allows powerpc to build with the latest lld.

   - Fix (another) potential userspace r13 corruption in transactional
     memory handling.

   - Cleanups of function descriptor handling &amp; related fixes to LKDTM.

Pull asm-generic updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "There are three sets of updates for 5.18 in the asm-generic tree:

   - The set_fs()/get_fs() infrastructure gets removed for good.

     This was already gone from all major architectures, but now we can
     finally remove it everywhere, which loses some particularly tricky
     and error-prone code. There is a small merge conflict against a
     parisc cleanup, the solution is to use their new version.

   - The nds32 architecture ends its tenure in the Linux kernel.

     The hardware is still used and the code is in reasonable shape, but
     the mainline port is not actively maintained any more, as all
     remaining users are thought to run vendor kernels that would never
     be updated to a future release.

   - A series from Masahiro Yamada cleans up some of the uapi header
     files to pass the compile-time checks"

ia64 only uses set_fs() in one file to handle unaligned access for
both user space and kernel instructions. Rewrite this to explicitly
pass around a flag about which one it is and drop the feature from
the architecture.

<title>asm-generic: Define CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTORS</title>

<content type='text'>
Replace HAVE_DEREFERENCE_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTOR by a config option
named CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTORS and use it instead of
'dereference_function_descriptor' macro to know whether an
arch has function descriptors.

To limit churn in one of the following patches, use
an #ifdef/#else construct with empty first part
instead of an #ifndef in asm-generic/sections.h

On powerpc, make sure the config option matches the ABI used
by the compiler with a BUILD_BUG_ON() and add missing _CALL_ELF=2
when calling 'sparse' so that sparse sees the same piece of
code as GCC.

And include a helper to check whether an arch has function
descriptors or not : have_function_descriptors()

<title>ia64: make IA64_MCA_RECOVERY bool instead of tristate</title>

<id>urn:sha1:dbecf9b8b8ce580f4e11afed9d61e8aa294cddd2</id>
<content type='text'>
In linux-next, IA64_MCA_RECOVERY uses the (new) function
make_task_dead(), which is not exported for use by modules.  Instead of
exporting it for one user, convert IA64_MCA_RECOVERY to be a bool
Kconfig symbol.

In a config file from "kernel test robot &lt;lkp@intel.com&gt;" for a
different problem, this linker error was exposed when
CONFIG_IA64_MCA_RECOVERY=m.

Fixes this build error:

  ERROR: modpost: "make_task_dead" [arch/ia64/kernel/mca_recovery.ko] undefined!

<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm: percpu: Cleanup percpu first chunk function".

When supporting page mapping percpu first chunk allocator on arm64, we
found there are lots of duplicated codes in percpu embed/page first chunk
allocator.  This patchset is aimed to cleanup them and should no function
change.

The currently supported status about 'embed' and 'page' in Archs shows
below,

	embed: NEED_PER_CPU_PAGE_FIRST_CHUNK
	page:  NEED_PER_CPU_EMBED_FIRST_CHUNK

		embed	page
	------------------------
	arm64	  Y	 Y
	mips	  Y	 N
	powerpc	  Y	 Y
	riscv	  Y	 N
	sparc	  Y	 Y
	x86	  Y	 Y
	------------------------

There are two interfaces about percpu first chunk allocator,

 extern int __init pcpu_embed_first_chunk(size_t reserved_size, size_t dyn_size,
                                size_t atom_size,
                                pcpu_fc_cpu_distance_fn_t cpu_distance_fn,
-                               pcpu_fc_alloc_fn_t alloc_fn,
-                               pcpu_fc_free_fn_t free_fn);
+                               pcpu_fc_cpu_to_node_fn_t cpu_to_nd_fn);

 extern int __init pcpu_page_first_chunk(size_t reserved_size,
-                               pcpu_fc_alloc_fn_t alloc_fn,
-                               pcpu_fc_free_fn_t free_fn,
-                               pcpu_fc_populate_pte_fn_t populate_pte_fn);
+                               pcpu_fc_cpu_to_node_fn_t cpu_to_nd_fn);

The pcpu_fc_alloc_fn_t/pcpu_fc_free_fn_t is killed, we provide generic
pcpu_fc_alloc() and pcpu_fc_free() function, which are called in the
pcpu_embed/page_first_chunk().

1) For pcpu_embed_first_chunk(), pcpu_fc_cpu_to_node_fn_t is needed to be
   provided when archs supported NUMA.

2) For pcpu_page_first_chunk(), the pcpu_fc_populate_pte_fn_t is killed too,
   a generic pcpu_populate_pte() which marked '__weak' is provided, if you
   need a different function to populate pte on the arch(like x86), please
   provide its own implementation.

[1] https://github.com/kevin78/linux.git percpu-cleanup

This patch (of 4):

The HAVE_SETUP_PER_CPU_AREA/NEED_PER_CPU_EMBED_FIRST_CHUNK/
NEED_PER_CPU_PAGE_FIRST_CHUNK/USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID configs, which have
duplicate definitions on platforms that subscribe it.

Move them into mm, drop these redundant definitions and instead just
select it on applicable platforms.

Compile-testing drivers that require access to a firmware layer
fails when that firmware symbol is unavailable. This happened
twice this week:

 - My proposed to change to rework the QCOM_SCM firmware symbol
   broke on ppc64 and others.

 - The cs_dsp firmware patch added device specific firmware loader
   into drivers/firmware, which broke on the same set of
   architectures.

We should probably do the same thing for other subsystems as well,
but fix this one first as this is a dependency for other patches
getting merged.

<title>arch: Kconfig: clean up obsolete use of HAVE_IDE</title>

<content type='text'>
The arch-specific Kconfig files use HAVE_IDE to indicate if IDE is
supported.

As IDE support and the HAVE_IDE config vanishes with commit b7fb14d3ac63
("ide: remove the legacy ide driver"), there is no need to mention
HAVE_IDE in all those arch-specific Kconfig files.

The issue was identified with ./scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.py.
