Patch series "mm: ioremap: Convert architectures to take GENERIC_IOREMAP
way", v8.

Motivation and implementation:
==============================
Currently, many architecutres have't taken the standard GENERIC_IOREMAP
way to implement ioremap_prot(), iounmap(), and ioremap_xx(), but make
these functions specifically under each arch's folder.  Those cause many
duplicated code of ioremap() and iounmap().

In this patchset, firstly introduce generic_ioremap_prot() and
generic_iounmap() to extract the generic code for GENERIC_IOREMAP.  By
taking GENERIC_IOREMAP method, the generic generic_ioremap_prot(),
generic_iounmap(), and their generic wrapper ioremap_prot(), ioremap() and
iounmap() are all visible and available to arch.  Arch needs to provide
wrapper functions to override the generic version if there's arch specific
handling in its corresponding ioremap_prot(), ioremap() or iounmap(). 
With these changes, duplicated ioremap/iounmap() code uder ARCH-es are
removed, and the equivalent functioality is kept as before.

Background info:
================

1) The converting more architectures to take GENERIC_IOREMAP way is
   suggested by Christoph in below discussion:
   https://lore.kernel.org/all/Yp7h0Jv6vpgt6xdZ@infradead.org/T/#u

2) In the previous v1 to v3, it's basically further action after arm64
   has converted to GENERIC_IOREMAP way in below patchset.  It's done by
   adding hook ioremap_allowed() and iounmap_allowed() in ARCH to add ARCH
   specific handling the middle of ioremap_prot() and iounmap().

[PATCH v5 0/6] arm64: Cleanup ioremap() and support ioremap_prot()
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220607125027.44946-1-wangkefeng.wang@huawei.com/T/#u

Later, during v3 reviewing, Christophe Leroy suggested to introduce
generic_ioremap_prot() and generic_iounmap() to generic codes, and ARCH
can provide wrapper function ioremap_prot(), ioremap() or iounmap() if
needed.  Christophe made a RFC patchset as below to specially demonstrate
his idea.  This is what v4 and now v5 is doing.

[RFC PATCH 0/8] mm: ioremap: Convert architectures to take GENERIC_IOREMAP way
https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1665568707.git.christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu/T/#u

Testing:
========
In v8, I only applied this patchset onto the latest linus's tree to build
and run on arm64 and s390.


This patch (of 19):

Let's use '#define ioremap_xx' and "#ifdef ioremap_xx" instead.

To remove defined ARCH_HAS_IOREMAP_xx macros in &lt;asm/io.h&gt; of each ARCH,
the ARCH's own ioremap_wc|wt|np definition need be above "#include
&lt;asm-generic/iomap.h&gt;.  Otherwise the redefinition error would be seen
during compiling.  So the relevant adjustments are made to avoid compiling
error:

  loongarch:
  - doesn't include &lt;asm-generic/iomap.h&gt;, defining ARCH_HAS_IOREMAP_WC
    is redundant, so simply remove it.

  m68k:
  - selected GENERIC_IOMAP, &lt;asm-generic/iomap.h&gt; has been added in
    &lt;asm-generic/io.h&gt;, and &lt;asm/kmap.h&gt; is included above
    &lt;asm-generic/iomap.h&gt;, so simply remove ARCH_HAS_IOREMAP_WT defining.

  mips:
  - move "#include &lt;asm-generic/iomap.h&gt;" below ioremap_wc definition
    in &lt;asm/io.h&gt;

  powerpc:
  - remove "#include &lt;asm-generic/iomap.h&gt;" in &lt;asm/io.h&gt; because it's
    duplicated with the one in &lt;asm-generic/io.h&gt;, let's rely on the
    latter.

  x86:
  - selected GENERIC_IOMAP, remove #include &lt;asm-generic/iomap.h&gt; in
    the middle of &lt;asm/io.h&gt;. Let's rely on &lt;asm-generic/io.h&gt;.

<title>drivers: Remove explicit invocations of mmiowb()</title>

<content type='text'>
mmiowb() is now implied by spin_unlock() on architectures that require
it, so there is no reason to call it from driver code. This patch was
generated using coccinelle:

	@mmiowb@
	@@
	- mmiowb();

and invoked as:

$ for d in drivers include/linux/qed sound; do \
spatch --include-headers --sp-file mmiowb.cocci --dir $d --in-place; done

NOTE: mmiowb() has only ever guaranteed ordering in conjunction with
spin_unlock(). However, pairing each mmiowb() removal in this patch with
the corresponding call to spin_unlock() is not at all trivial, so there
is a small chance that this change may regress any drivers incorrectly
relying on mmiowb() to order MMIO writes between CPUs using lock-free
synchronisation. If you've ended up bisecting to this commit, you can
reintroduce the mmiowb() calls using wmb() instead, which should restore
the old behaviour on all architectures other than some esoteric ia64
systems.

Medford2 can also have 16k or 64k VI stride.  This is reported by MCDI in
 GET_CAPABILITIES, which fortunately is called before the driver does
 anything sensitive to the VI stride (such as accessing or even allocating
 VIs past the zeroth).

Fixes:ee45fd92c739
("sfc: Use TX PIO for sufficiently small packets")

The linux net driver uses memcpy_toio() in order to copy into
the PIO buffers.
Even on a 64bit machine this causes 32bit accesses to a write-
combined memory region.
There are hardware limitations that mean that only 64bit
naturally aligned accesses are safe in all cases.
Due to being write-combined memory region two 32bit accesses
may be coalesced to form a 64bit non 64bit aligned access.
Solution was to open-code the memory copy routines using pointers
and to only enable PIO for x86_64 machines.

Not tested on platforms other than x86_64 because this patch
disables the PIO feature on other platforms.
Compile-tested on x86 to ensure that works.

The WARN_ON_ONCE() code in the previous version of this patch
has been moved into the internal sfc debug driver as the
assertion was unnecessary in the upstream kernel code.

This bug fix applies to v3.13 and v3.14 stable branches.

Try to allocate a segment of PIO buffer to each TX channel.  If
allocation fails, log an error but continue.

PIO buffers must be mapped separately from the NIC registers, with
write-combining enabled.  Where the host page size is 4K, we could
potentially map each VI's registers and PIO buffer separately.
However, this would add significant complexity, and we also need to
support architectures such as POWER which have a greater page size.
So make a single contiguous write-combining mapping after the
uncacheable mapping, aligned to the host page size, and link PIO
buffers there.  Where necessary, allocate additional VIs within
the write-combining mapping purely for access to PIO buffers.

Link all TX buffers to TX queues and the additional VIs in
efx_ef10_dimension_resources() and in efx_ef10_init_nic() after
an MC reboot.
