The <dt-bindings/pinctrl/omap.h> header file defines a set of macros for different SoCs families that falls under the OMAP sub-arch, that allow to define the padconf register physical address instead of the register offset from the padconf base. But the am43xx and dra7xx SoCs families have their own pinctrl header file so the DTS using these SoCs aren't able to use the AM4372_IOPAD() and DRA7XX_CORE_IOPAD() macros since <dt-bindings/pinctrl/omap.h> is not included. Move the macros to the correct header files so can be used by the DTS. Signed-off-by: Javier Martinez Canillas <javier@osg.samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com>

Merge slub bulk allocator updates from Andrew Morton: "This missed the merge window because I was waiting for some repairs to come in. Nothing actually uses the bulk allocator yet and the changes to other code paths are pretty small. And the net guys are waiting for this so they can start merging the client code" More comments from Jesper Dangaard Brouer: "The kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() call, in mm/slub.c, were included in previous kernel. The present version contains a bug. Vladimir Davydov noticed it contained a bug, when kernel is compiled with CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM (see commit 03ec0ed5: "slub: fix kmem cgroup bug in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk"). Plus the mem cgroup counterpart in kmem_cache_free_bulk() were missing (see commit 03374518 "slub: add missing kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk"). I don't consider the fix stable-material because there are no in-tree users of the API. But with known bugs (for memcg) I cannot start using the API in the net-tree" * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: slab/slub: adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API slub: add missing kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk slub: fix kmem cgroup bug in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk slub: optimize bulk slowpath free by detached freelist slub: support for bulk free with SLUB freelists

Adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API before we have any real users. Adjust API to return type 'int' instead of previously type 'bool'. This is done to allow future extension of the bulk alloc API. A future extension could be to allow SLUB to stop at a page boundary, when specified by a flag, and then return the number of objects. The advantage of this approach, would make it easier to make bulk alloc run without local IRQs disabled. With an approach of cmpxchg "stealing" the entire c->freelist or page->freelist. To avoid overshooting we would stop processing at a slab-page boundary. Else we always end up returning some objects at the cost of another cmpxchg. To keep compatible with future users of this API linking against an older kernel when using the new flag, we need to return the number of allocated objects with this API change.

Initial implementation missed support for kmem cgroup support in kmem_cache_free_bulk() call, add this. If CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not enabled, the compiler should be smart enough to not add any asm code. Incoming bulk free objects can belong to different kmem cgroups, and object free call can happen at a later point outside memcg context. Thus, we need to keep the orig kmem_cache, to correctly verify if a memcg object match against its "root_cache" (s->memcg_params.root_cache).

The call slab_pre_alloc_hook() interacts with kmemgc and is not allowed to be called several times inside the bulk alloc for loop, due to the call to memcg_kmem_get_cache(). This would result in hitting the VM_BUG_ON in __memcg_kmem_get_cache. As suggested by Vladimir Davydov, change slab_post_alloc_hook() to be able to handle an array of objects. A subtle detail is, loop iterator "i" in slab_post_alloc_hook() must have same type (size_t) as size argument. This helps the compiler to easier realize that it can remove the loop, when all debug statements inside loop evaluates to nothing. Note, this is only an issue because the kernel is compiled with GCC option: -fno-strict-overflow In slab_alloc_node() the compiler inlines and optimizes the invocation of slab_post_alloc_hook(s, flags, 1, &object) by removing the loop and access object directly.

This change focus on improving the speed of object freeing in the "slowpath" of kmem_cache_free_bulk. The calls slab_free (fastpath) and __slab_free (slowpath) have been extended with support for bulk free, which amortize the overhead of the (locked) cmpxchg_double. To use the new bulking feature, we build what I call a detached freelist. The detached freelist takes advantage of three properties: 1) the free function call owns the object that is about to be freed, thus writing into this memory is synchronization-free. 2) many freelist's can co-exist side-by-side in the same slab-page each with a separate head pointer. 3) it is the visibility of the head pointer that needs synchronization. Given these properties, the brilliant part is that the detached freelist can be constructed without any need for synchronization. The freelist is constructed directly in the page objects, without any synchronization needed. The detached freelist is allocated on the stack of the function call kmem_cache_free_bulk. Thus, the freelist head pointer is not visible to other CPUs. All objects in a SLUB freelist must belong to the same slab-page. Thus, constructing the detached freelist is about matching objects that belong to the same slab-page. The bulk free array is scanned is a progressive manor with a limited look-ahead facility. Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free(). Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles.
