 "I have relocated to London so not much work from me while I get
  settled.

  Still, OpenRISC picked up two patches in this window:

   - Fix for kernel page table walking from Jann Horn

   - MAINTAINER entry cleanup from Palmer Dabbelt"

Since commit 8782fb61cc848 ("mm: pagewalk: Fix race between unmap and page
walker"), walk_page_range() on kernel ranges won't work anymore,
walk_page_range_novma() must be used instead.

Note: I don't have an openrisc development setup, so this is completely
untested.

<title>kbuild: remove head-y syntax</title>

Kbuild puts the objects listed in head-y at the head of vmlinux.
Conventionally, we do this for head*.S, which contains the kernel entry
point.

A counter approach is to control the section order by the linker script.
Actually, the code marked as __HEAD goes into the ".head.text" section,
which is placed before the normal ".text" section.

I do not know if both of them are needed. From the build system
perspective, head-y is not mandatory. If you can achieve the proper code
placement by the linker script only, it would be cleaner.

I collected the current head-y objects into head-object-list.txt. It is
a whitelist. My hope is it will be reduced in the long run.

<title>kbuild: use obj-y instead extra-y for objects placed at the head</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3216484550610470013b7ce1c9ed272da0a74589</id>
<content type='text'>
The objects placed at the head of vmlinux need special treatments:

 - arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile adds them to head-y in order to place
   them before other archives in the linker command line.

 - arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile adds them to extra-y instead of
   obj-y to avoid them going into built-in.a.

This commit gets rid of the latter.

Create vmlinux.a to collect all the objects that are unconditionally
linked to vmlinux. The objects listed in head-y are moved to the head
of vmlinux.a by using 'ar m'.

With this, arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile can consistently use obj-y
for builtin objects.

There is no *.o that is directly linked to vmlinux. Drop unneeded code
in scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py.

$(AR) mPi needs 'T' to workaround the llvm-ar bug. The fix was suggested
by Nathan Chancellor [1].

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Most of the MM queue. A few things are still pending.

  Liam's maple tree rework didn't make it. This has resulted in a few
  other minor patch series being held over for next time.

  Multi-gen LRU still isn't merged as we were waiting for mapletree to
  stabilize. The current plan is to merge MGLRU into -mm soon and to
  later reintroduce mapletree, with a view to hopefully getting both
  into 6.1-rc1.

  Summary:

   - The usual batches of cleanups from Baoquan He, Muchun Song, Miaohe
     Lin, Yang Shi, Anshuman Khandual and Mike Rapoport

   - Some kmemleak fixes from Patrick Wang and Waiman Long

   - DAMON updates from SeongJae Park

   - memcg debug/visibility work from Roman Gushchin

   - vmalloc speedup from Uladzislau Rezki

   - more folio conversion work from Matthew Wilcox

   - enhancements for coherent device memory mapping from Alex Sierra

   - addition of shared pages tracking and CoW support for fsdax, from
     Shiyang Ruan

   - hugetlb optimizations from Mike Kravetz

   - Mel Gorman has contributed some pagealloc changes to improve
     latency and realtime behaviour.

   - mprotect soft-dirty checking has been improved by Peter Xu

   - Many other singleton patches all over the place"

<id>urn:sha1:787dbea11a5d6843999ff71a3fb9aa1ed6d5d889</id>
<content type='text'>
The setup_profiling_timer() is mostly un-implemented by many
architectures.  In many places it isn't guarded by CONFIG_PROFILE which is
needed for it to be used.  Make it a weak symbol in kernel/profile.c and
remove the 'return -EINVAL' implementations from the kenrel.

There are a couple of architectures which do return 0 from the
setup_profiling_timer() function but they don't seem to do anything else
with it.  To keep the /proc compatibility for now, leave these for a
future update or removal.

On ARM, this fixes the following sparse warning:
arch/arm/kernel/smp.c:793:5: warning: symbol 'setup_profiling_timer' was not declared. Should it be static?

<id>urn:sha1:52e0ea900202d23843daee8f7089817e81dd3dd7</id>

When OpenRISC enables PCI it allows for more drivers to be compiled
resulting in exposing the following with -Werror.

    drivers/video/fbdev/riva/fbdev.c: In function 'rivafb_probe':
    drivers/video/fbdev/riva/fbdev.c:2062:42: error:
	    passing argument 1 of 'iounmap' discards 'volatile' qualifier from pointer target type

    drivers/video/fbdev/nvidia/nvidia.c: In function 'nvidiafb_probe':
    drivers/video/fbdev/nvidia/nvidia.c:1414:20: error:
	    passing argument 1 of 'iounmap' discards 'volatile' qualifier from pointer target type

    drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_osm.c:1231:41: error:
	    passing argument 1 of 'iounmap' discards 'volatile' qualifier from pointer target type

Most architectures define the iounmap argument to be volatile.  To fix this
issue we do the same for OpenRISC.  This patch must go before PCI is enabled on
OpenRISC to avoid any compile failures.
