      tracing: Define the is_signed_type() macro once · dcf8e563
      Bart Van Assche authored 
      There are two definitions of the is_signed_type() macro: one in
<linux/overflow.h> and a second definition in <linux/trace_events.h>.

As suggested by Linus, move the definition of the is_signed_type() macro
into the <linux/compiler.h> header file.  Change the definition of the
is_signed_type() macro to make sure that it does not trigger any sparse
warnings with future versions of sparse for bitwise types.

      Merge branch 'u64_stats-fixups' · cb10b0f9

====================
net: u64_stats fixups for 32bit.

while looking at the u64-stats patch
	https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220817162703.728679-10-bigeasy@linutronix.de

I noticed that u64_stats_fetch_begin() is used. That suspicious thing
about it is that network processing, including stats update, is
performed in NAPI and so I would expect to see
u64_stats_fetch_begin_irq() in order to avoid updates from NAPI during
the read. This is only needed on 32bit-UP where the seqcount is not
used. This is address in 2/2. The remaining user take some kind of
precaution and may use u64_stats_fetch_begin().

I updated the previously mentioned patch to get rid of
u64_stats_fetch_begin_irq(). If this is not considered stable patch
worthy then it can be ignored and considred fixed by the other series
which removes the special 32bit cases.

The xrs700x driver reads and writes the counter from preemptible context
so the only missing piece here is at least disable preemption on the
writer side to avoid preemption while the writer is in progress. The
possible reader would spin then until the writer completes its write
critical section which is considered bad. This is addressed in 1/2 by
using u64_stats_update_begin_irqsave() and so disable interrupts during
the write critical section.
The other closet resemblance I found is mdio_bus.c::mdiobus_stats_acct()
where preemtion is disabled unconditionally. This is something I want to
avoid since it also affects 64bit.

      net: Use u64_stats_fetch_begin_irq() for stats fetch. · 278d3ba6
      Sebastian Andrzej Siewior authored 
      On 32bit-UP u64_stats_fetch_begin() disables only preemption. If the
reader is in preemptible context and the writer side
(u64_stats_update_begin*()) runs in an interrupt context (IRQ or
softirq) then the writer can update the stats during the read operation.
This update remains undetected.

Use u64_stats_fetch_begin_irq() to ensure the stats fetch on 32bit-UP
are not interrupted by a writer. 32bit-SMP remains unaffected by this
change.
