None of the pm_qos functions actually run in interrupt context; if some
driver calls pm_qos_update_target in interrupt context then it's already
broken. There's no need to disable interrupts while holding pm_qos_lock,
so don't do it.

This reverts commit 1e5a5b5e00e9706cd48e3c87de1607fcaa5214d2.
This doesn't make sense for a few reasons. Firstly, upstream uses this
mutex code and it works fine on all arches; why should arm be any
different?
Secondly, once the mutex owner starts to spin on `wait_lock`,
preemption is disabled and the owner will be in an actively-running
state. The optimistic mutex spinning occurs when the lock owner is
actively running on a CPU, and while the optimistic spinning takes
place, no attempt to acquire `wait_lock` is made by the new waiter.
Therefore, it is guaranteed that new mutex waiters which optimistically
spin will not contend the `wait_lock` spin lock that the owner needs to
acquire in order to make forward progress.
Another potential source of `wait_lock` contention can come from tasks
that call mutex_trylock(), but this isn't actually problematic (and if
it were, it would affect the MUTEX_SPIN_ON_OWNER=n use-case too). This
won't introduce significant contention on `wait_lock` because the
trylock code exits before attempting to lock `wait_lock`, specifically
when the atomic mutex counter indicates that the mutex is already
locked. So in reality, the amount of `wait_lock` contention that can
come from mutex_trylock() amounts to only one task. And once it
finishes, `wait_lock` will no longer be contended and the previous
mutex owner can proceed with clean up.

The default frequency on Qualcomm CPUs is the lowest frequency supported
by the CPU. This hurts latency when waking from suspend, as each CPU
coming online runs at its lowest frequency until the governor can take
over later. To speed up waking from suspend, hijack the CPUHP_AP_ONLINE
hook and use it to set the highest available frequency on each CPU as
they come online. This is done behind the governor's back but it's fine
because the governor isn't running at this point in time for a CPU
that's coming online.
This speeds up waking from suspend significantly.

CAF appears to have messed with some code in this kernel related to LSE
atomics and/or alternatives, causing the combined LSE + LL/SC
out-of-line calling code to be too big for its section when compiling
kernel/locking/spinlock.c. This causes gas to fail with a confusing error:

/tmp/spinlock-79343b.s:157: Error: attempt to move .org backwards

Omitting the alternatives code indeed reduces the size enough to make
everything compile successfully. We don't need the patching anyway
because we will only enable CONFIG_ARM64_LSE_ATOMICS when the target CPU
is known to support LSE atomics with 100% certainty, so kill all the
dynamic out-of-line LL/SC patching code.
This change also has the side-effect of reducing the I-cache footprint
of these critical locking and atomic paths, which can reduce cache

Prefetching the target operands fixes the regression and makes LSE
perform better than LSE as expected:

This adds support to arm64 for fast refcount checking, as contributed
by Kees for x86 based on the implementation by grsecurity/PaX.
The general approach is identical: the existing atomic_t helpers are
cloned for refcount_t, with the arithmetic instruction modified to set
the PSTATE flags, and one or two branch instructions added that jump to
an out of line handler if overflow, decrement to zero or increment from
zero are detected.
One complication that we have to deal with on arm64 is the fact that
it has two atomics implementations: the original LL/SC implementation
using load/store exclusive loops, and the newer LSE one that does mostly
the same in a single instruction. So we need to clone some parts of
both for the refcount handlers, but we also need to deal with the way
LSE builds fall back to LL/SC at runtime if the hardware does not
support it.
As is the case with the x86 version, the performance gain is substantial
(ThunderX2 @ 2.2 GHz, using LSE), even though the arm64 implementation
incorporates an add-from-zero check as well:
perf stat -B -- echo ATOMIC_TIMING >/sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT
116252672661 cycles # 2.207 GHz
52.689793525 seconds time elapsed
perf stat -B -- echo REFCOUNT_TIMING >/sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT
127060259162 cycles # 2.207 GHz
57.243690077 seconds time elapsed
For comparison, the numbers below were captured using CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL,
which uses the validation routines implemented in C using cmpxchg():
perf stat -B -- echo REFCOUNT_TIMING >/sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT
Performance counter stats for 'cat /dev/fd/63':
191057942484 cycles # 2.207 GHz
86.568269904 seconds time elapsed
As a bonus, this code has been found to perform significantly better on
systems with many CPUs, due to the fact that it no longer relies on the
load/compare-and-swap combo performed in a tight loop, which is what we
emit for cmpxchg() on arm64.

the entire I-cache after all alternatives have been applied at boot.
Modules don't cause any issues, since flush_icache_range() is safe to

Patching kernel instructions at runtime requires other CPUs to undergo
a context synchronisation event via an explicit ISB or an IPI in order
to ensure that the new instructions are visible. This is required even
for "hotpatch" instructions such as NOP and BL, so avoid optimising in
this case and always go via stop_machine() when performing general
patching.
ftrace isn't quite as strict, so it can continue to call the nosync
code directly.

When invalidating the instruction cache for a kernel mapping via
flush_icache_range(), it is also necessary to flush the pipeline for
other CPUs so that instructions fetched into the pipeline before the
I-cache invalidation are discarded. For example, if module 'foo' is
unloaded and then module 'bar' is loaded into the same area of memory,
a CPU could end up executing instructions from 'foo' when branching into
'bar' if these instructions were fetched into the pipeline before 'foo'
was unloaded.
Whilst this is highly unlikely to occur in practice, particularly as
any exception acts as a context-synchronizing operation, following the
letter of the architecture requires us to execute an ISB on each CPU
in order for the new instruction stream to be visible.

Commit 959bf2fd03b5 ("arm64: percpu: Rewrite per-cpu ops to allow use of
LSE atomics") introduced alternative code sequences for the arm64 percpu
atomics, so that the LSE instructions can be patched in at runtime if
they are supported by the CPU.
Unfortunately, when patching in the LSE sequence for a value-returning
pcpu atomic, the argument registers are the wrong way round. The
implementation of this_cpu_add_return() therefore ends up adding
uninitialised stack to the percpu variable and returning garbage.
As it turns out, there aren't very many users of the value-returning
percpu atomics in mainline and we only spotted this due to a failure in
the kprobes selftests. In this case, when attempting to single-step over
the out-of-line instruction slot, the debug monitors would not be
enabled because calling this_cpu_inc_return() on the kernel debug
monitor refcount would fail to detect the transition from 0. We would
consequently execute past the slot and take an undefined instruction
exception from the kernel, resulting in a BUG:

Our percpu code is a bit of an inconsistent mess:
* It rolls its own xchg(), but reuses cmpxchg_local()
* It uses various different flavours of preempt_{enable,disable}()
* It returns values even for the non-returning RmW operations
* It makes no use of LSE atomics outside of the cmpxchg() ops
* There are individual macros for different sizes of access, but these
are all funneled through a switch statement rather than dispatched
directly to the relevant case
This patch rewrites the per-cpu operations to address these shortcomings.
Whilst the new code is a lot cleaner, the big advantage is that we can
use the non-returning ST- atomic instructions when we have LSE.

ThinLTO is actually quite fast on multi-threaded systems now and doesn't
increase build times by much on my Threadripper 3960X system.

With LTO, modules with a large number of compilation units maybe end
up exceeding the for loop argument list in the shell. Reduce the
probability for this happening by including only the modules that have
exported symbols.

Currently, there is a regression of 689 KiB in Image.gz's size when the
kernel is linked with LLD. This is reduced to 213 KiB when we use -pie
rather than -shared when invoking the linker.
Unfortunately, ld.bfd dislikes this change and regresses in size by 163
KiB with -pie as compared to using -shared. To address this problem, we
add checks so that -pie is used with LLD and -shared is used with
ld.bfd. That way, both linkers are able to perform their best.
List of Image.gz sizes:
ld.bfd -shared: 10,066,988 bytes
ld.bfd -pie: 10,230,316 bytes
LLD -shared: 10,796,872 bytes
LLD -pie: 10,280,168 bytes
Test: kernel compiles and boots with both ld.bfd and LLD
