      arm64: Drop support for CMDLINE_EXTEND · cae118b6
      Will Deacon authored 
      The documented behaviour for CMDLINE_EXTEND is that the arguments from
the bootloader are appended to the built-in kernel command line. This
also matches the option parsing behaviour for the EFI stub and early ID
register overrides.

Bizarrely, the fdt behaviour is the other way around: appending the
built-in command line to the bootloader arguments, resulting in a
command-line that doesn't necessarily line-up with the parsing order and
definitely doesn't line-up with the documented behaviour.

As it turns out, there is a proposal [1] to replace CMDLINE_EXTEND with
CMDLINE_PREPEND and CMDLINE_APPEND options which should hopefully make
the intended behaviour much clearer. While we wait for those to land,
drop CMDLINE_EXTEND for now as there appears to be little enthusiasm for
changing the current FDT behaviour.

      arm64: cpufeatures: Fix handling of CONFIG_CMDLINE for idreg overrides · df304c2d
      Will Deacon authored 
      The built-in kernel commandline (CONFIG_CMDLINE) can be configured in
three different ways:

  1. CMDLINE_FORCE: Use CONFIG_CMDLINE instead of any bootloader args
  2. CMDLINE_EXTEND: Append the bootloader args to CONFIG_CMDLINE
  3. CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER: Only use CONFIG_CMDLINE if there aren't
     any bootloader args.

The early cmdline parsing to detect idreg overrides gets (2) and (3)
slightly wrong: in the case of (2) the bootloader args are parsed first
and in the case of (3) the CMDLINE is always parsed.

Fix these issues by moving the bootargs parsing out into a helper
function and following the same logic as that used by the EFI stub.

      kernel: provide create_io_thread() helper · cc440e87
      Jens Axboe authored 
      Provide a generic helper for setting up an io_uring worker. Returns a
task_struct so that the caller can do whatever setup is needed, then call
wake_up_new_task() to kick it into gear.

Add a kernel_clone_args member, io_thread, which tells copy_process() to
mark the task with PF_IO_WORKER.
