A caller of pm_genpd_init() that provides some states for the genpd via the
->states pointer in the struct generic_pm_domain, should also provide a
governor. This because it's the job of the governor to pick a state that
satisfies the constraints.

Therefore, let's print a warning to inform the user about such bogus
configuration and avoid to bail out, by instead picking the shallowest
state before genpd invokes the ->power_off() callback.

Instead of returning -EINVAL from of_genpd_parse_idle_states() in case none
compatible states was found, let's return 0 to indicate success. Assign
also the out-parameter *states to NULL and *n to 0, to indicate to the
caller that zero states have been found/allocated.

This enables the caller of of_genpd_parse_idle_states() to easier act on

If the minimum interval taken into account in the average computation
loop in get_typical_interval() is less than the expected idle
duration determined so far, the resultant average cannot be greater
than that value as well and the entire return result of the function
is going to be discarded anyway going forward.

In that case, it is a waste of time to carry out the remaining
computations in get_typical_interval(), so avoid that by returning
early if the minimum interval is not below the expected idle duration.

Since the correction factor cannot be greater than RESOLUTION * DECAY,
the result of the predicted_us computation in menu_select() cannot be
greater than data->next_timer_us, so it is not necessary to compare
the "typical interval" value coming from get_typical_interval() with
data->next_timer_us separately.

It is sufficient to copmare predicted_us with the return value of
get_typical_interval() directly, so do that and drop the now
redundant expected_interval variable.

Daniel Micay reports that attempting to use MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE in an
application causes that application to randomly crash.  The existing check
for handling MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE looks up the first VMA that either
overlaps or follows the requested region, and then bails out if that VMA
overlaps *the start* of the requested region.  It does not bail out if the
VMA only overlaps another part of the requested region.

Fix it by checking that the found VMA only starts at or after the end of
the requested region, in which case there is no overlap.

It turns out that the fix in commit 6636c3cc56 is bad; the assertion
that the iomap code no longer creates buffer heads is incorrect for
filesystems that set the IOMAP_F_BUFFER_HEAD flag.

Instead, what's happening is that gfs2_iomap_begin_write treats all
files that have the jdata flag set as journaled files, which is
incorrect as long as those files are inline ("stuffed").  We're handling
stuffed files directly via the page cache, which is why we ended up with
pages without buffer heads in gfs2_page_add_databufs.

Fix this by handling stuffed journaled files correctly in
gfs2_iomap_begin_write.

We describe ranges of 'reserved' memory to userspace via /proc/iomem.
Commit 50d7ba36 ("arm64: export memblock_reserve()d regions via
/proc/iomem") updated the logic to export regions that were reserved
because their contents should be preserved. This allowed kexec-tools
to tell the difference between 'reserved' memory that must be
preserved and not overwritten, (e.g. the ACPI tables), and 'nomap'
memory that must not be touched without knowing the memory-attributes
(e.g. RAS CPER regions).

The above commit wrongly assumed that memblock_reserve() would not
be used to reserve regions that aren't memory. It turns out this is
exactly what early_init_dt_reserve_memory_arch() will do if it finds
a DT reserved-memory that was also carved out of the memory node, which
results in a WARN_ON_ONCE() and the region being reserved instead of
ignored. The ramoops description on hikey and dragonboard-410c both do
this, so we can't simply write this configuration off as "buggy firmware".

Avoid this issue by rewriting reserve_memblock_reserved_regions() so
that only the portions of reserved regions which overlap with mapped
memory are actually reserved.

Access to the list of cells by /proc/net/afs/cells has a couple of
problems:

 (1) It should be checking against SEQ_START_TOKEN for the keying the
     header line.

 (2) It's only holding the RCU read lock, so it can't just walk over the
     list without following the proper RCU methods.

Fix these by using an hlist instead of an ordinary list and using the
appropriate accessor functions to follow it with RCU.

Since the code that adds a cell to the list must also necessarily change,
sort the list on insertion whilst we're at it.

After some recent menu governor changes, the promotion of the
"polling" state to a physical one is mostly controlled by the
latency limit (resulting from the "interactivity" factor) and
not by the time to the closest timer event, so it should be
sufficient to check the exit latency of that state for this
purpose (of course, its target residency still needs to be
within the next timer event range for energy-efficiency).

Also, the physical state the "polling" one is promoted to need not
be the next one in principle (in case the next state is disabled,
for example).

For these reasons, simplify the checks made to decide whether or
not to promote the "polling" state to a physical one and update
the target idle duration when it is promoted in case the residency
of the new state turns out to be above the tick boundary (in which
case there is no reason to stop the tick).

The previous patch introduced very large kernel stack usage and a Makefile
change to hide the warning about it.

From what I can tell, a number of things went wrong here:

- The BCH_MAX_T constant was set to the maximum value for 'n',
  not the maximum for 't', which is much smaller.

- The stack usage is actually larger than the entire kernel stack
  on some architectures that can use 4KB stacks (m68k, sh, c6x), which
  leads to an immediate overrun.

- The justification in the patch description claimed that nothing
  changed, however that is not the case even without the two points above:
  the configuration is machine specific, and most boards  never use the
  maximum BCH_ECC_WORDS() length but instead have something much smaller.
  That maximum would only apply to machines that use both the maximum
  block size and the maximum ECC strength.

The largest value for 't' that I could find is '32', which in turn leads
to a 60 byte array instead of 2048 bytes. Making it '64' for future
extension seems also worthwhile, with 120 bytes for the array. Anything
larger won't fit into the OOB area on NAND flash.

With that changed, the warning can be enabled again.

Only linux-4.19+ contains the breakage, so this is only needed
as a stable backport if it does not make it into the release.
