With v4.15, on one of my NFS/RDMA clients I measured a nearly
doubling in the latency of small read and write system calls. There
was no change in server round trip time. The extra latency appears
in the whole RPC execution path.

"git bisect" settled on commit ccede759 ("xprtrdma: Spread reply
processing over more CPUs") .

After some experimentation, I found that leaving the WQ bound and
allowing the scheduler to pick the dispatch CPU seems to eliminate
the long latencies, and it does not introduce any new regressions.

The fix is implemented by reverting only the part of
commit ccede759 ("xprtrdma: Spread reply processing over more
CPUs") that dispatches RPC replies specifically on the CPU where the
matching RPC call was made.

Interestingly, saving the CPU number and later queuing reply
processing there was effective _only_ for a NFS READ and WRITE
request. On my NUMA client, in-kernel RPC reply processing for
asynchronous RPCs was dispatched on the same CPU where the RPC call
was made, as expected. However synchronous RPCs seem to get their
reply dispatched on some other CPU than where the call was placed,
every time.

Re-enable deep flush so that users always have a way to be sure that a
write makes it all the way out to media. Writes from the PMEM driver
always arrive at the NVDIMM since movnt is used to bypass the cache, and
the driver relies on the ADR (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) mechanism to
flush write buffers on power failure. The Deep Flush mechanism is there
to explicitly write buffers to protect against (rare) ADR failure.  This
change prevents a regression in deep flush behavior so that applications
can continue to depend on fsync() as a mechanism to trigger deep flush
in the filesystem-DAX case.

Filesystem-DAX is incompatible with 'longterm' page pinning. Without
page cache indirection a DAX mapping maps filesystem blocks directly.
This means that the filesystem must not modify a file's block map while
any page in a mapping is pinned. In order to prevent the situation of
userspace holding of filesystem operations indefinitely, disallow
'longterm' Filesystem-DAX mappings.

RDMA has the same conflict and the plan there is to add a 'with lease'
mechanism to allow the kernel to notify userspace that the mapping is
being torn down for block-map maintenance. Perhaps something similar can
be put in place for vfio.

Note that xfs and ext4 still report:

   "DAX enabled. Warning: EXPERIMENTAL, use at your own risk"

...at mount time, and resolving the dax-dma-vs-truncate problem is one
of the last hurdles to remove that designation.

The architecture specification says (for 64-bit systems): PDC is a per
processor resource, and operating system software must be prepared to
manage separate pointers to PDCE_PROC for each processor.  The address
of PDCE_PROC for the monarch processor is stored in the Page Zero
location MEM_PDC. The address of PDCE_PROC for each non-monarch
processor is passed in gr26 when PDCE_RESET invokes OS_RENDEZ.

Currently we still use one PDC for all CPUs, but in case we face a
machine which is following the specification let's warn about it.

The change to flush_kernel_vmap_range() wasn't sufficient to avoid the
SMP stalls.  The problem is some drivers call these routines with
interrupts disabled.  Interrupts need to be enabled for flush_tlb_all()
and flush_cache_all() to work.  This version adds checks to ensure
interrupts are not disabled before calling routines that need IPI
interrupts.  When interrupts are disabled, we now drop into slower code.

The attached change fixes the ordering of cache and TLB flushes in
several cases.  When we flush the cache using the existing PTE/TLB
entries, we need to flush the TLB after doing the cache flush.  We don't
need to do this when we flush the entire instruction and data caches as
these flushes don't use the existing TLB entries.  The same is true for
tmpalias region flushes.

The flush_kernel_vmap_range() and invalidate_kernel_vmap_range()
routines have been updated.

Secondly, we added a new purge_kernel_dcache_range_asm() routine to
pacache.S and use it in invalidate_kernel_vmap_range().  Nominally,
purges are faster than flushes as the cache lines don't have to be
written back to memory.

Hopefully, this is sufficient to resolve the remaining problems due to
cache speculation.  So far, testing indicates that this is the case.  I
did work up a patch using tmpalias flushes, but there is a performance
hit because we need the physical address for each page, and we also need
to sequence access to the tmpalias flush code.  This increases the
probability of stalls.

The named choice is not used in the kernel tree, but if it were used,
it would not be freed.

The intention of the named choice can be seen in the log of
commit 5a1aa8a1 ("kconfig: add named choice group").

If CONFIG_USE_BUILTIN_DTB is enabled, but CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB_SOURCE
is empty (for example, allmodconfig), it fails to build, like this:

  make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'arch/sh/boot/dts/.dtb.o',
  needed by 'arch/sh/boot/dts/built-in.o'.  Stop.

Surround obj-y with ifneq ... endif.

I replaced $(CONFIG_USE_BUILTIN_DTB) with 'y' since this is always
the case from the following code from arch/sh/Makefile:

  core-$(CONFIG_USE_BUILTIN_DTB)  += arch/sh/boot/dts/
