Pull xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
 "This is the second part of the XFS changes for 4.19.

  The biggest changes are the removal of buffer heads frm XFS, a massive
  reworking of the deferred transaction operations handling code, the
  removal of the long defunct barrier/nobarrier mount options, and the
  addition of a few more online repair functions.

  Summary:

   - Use extent maps to track pagecache page status instead of
     bufferhead state.

   - Refactor pagecache read and write paths to use the new iomap
     library functions, which enable us to drop the old bufferhead code
     for pagesize == blocksize filesystems.

   - Set up parallel per-block-per-page metadata to track subpage
     information that was tracked by buffer heads, which enables us to
     drop the old bufferhead code for pagesize > blocksize filesystems.

   - Tie a deferred ops control structure to a transaction so that we
     can take advantage of an upper-level dfops without having to plumb
     pointer passing through the code.

   - Refactor the deferred ops code to track deferred ops as part of the
     transaction structure (instead of as a separate data structure) so
     that we can simplify the scoping rules around defer_ops.

   - Refactor twisty delwri buffer submission code to avoid deadlocks.

   - Shorten and fix indenting problems in the scrub code.

   - Detect obviously bad summary counts at mount and fix them.

   - Directly associate deferred ops control structure with a
     transaction so that callers no longer have to manage it themselves.

   - Remove a couple of IRIX-era inode macros.

   - Remove the long-deprecated 'barrier' and 'nobarrier' mount options.

   - Clean up the inode fork structure a bit.

   - Check for bad fs summary counter values in the superblock.

   - Reduce COW fork lookups during writeback.

   - Refactor the deferred ops control structures into the transaction
     structure, thereby eliminating the need for transaction users to
     handle the deferred ops as a separate data structure.

   - Add the ability to repair AG headers online.

   - Fix a crash due to insufficient return value checking.

   - Various fixes and cleanups"

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
 "Mostly fixes and cleanups, nothing big, though the notable thing is
  the inserted/deleted lines delta -1124.

  User visible changes:
   - allow defrag on opened read-only files that have rw permissions;
     similar to what dedupe will allow on such files

  Core changes:
   - tree checker improvements, reported by fuzzing:
      * more checks for: block group items, essential trees
      * chunk type validation
      * mount time cross-checks that physical and logical chunks match
      * switch more error codes to EUCLEAN aka EFSCORRUPTED

  Fixes:
   - fsync corner case fixes

   - fix send failure when root has deleted files still open

   - send, fix incorrect file layout after hole punching beyond eof

   - fix races between mount and deice scan ioctl, found by fuzzing

   - fix deadlock when delayed iput is called from writeback on the same
     inode; rare but has been observed in practice, also removes code

   - fix pinned byte accounting, using the right percpu helpers; this
     should avoid some write IO inefficiency during low space conditions

   - don't remove block group that still has pinned bytes

   - reset on-disk device stats value after replace, otherwise this
     would report stale values for the new device

   - time64_t/timespec64 cleanups

   - remove remaining dead code in scrub handling NOCOW extents after
     disabling it in previous cycle

   - simplify fsync regarding ordered extents logic and remove all the

Pull MIPS updates from Paul Burton:
 "Here are the main MIPS changes for 4.19.

  An overview of the general architecture changes:

   - Massive DMA ops refactoring from Christoph Hellwig (huzzah for
     deleting crufty code!).

   - We introduce NT_MIPS_DSP & NT_MIPS_FP_MODE ELF notes &
     corresponding regsets to expose DSP ASE & floating point mode state
     respectively, both for live debugging & core dumps.

   - We better optimize our code by hard-coding cpu_has_* macros at
     compile time where their values are known due to the ISA revision
     that the kernel build is targeting.

   - The EJTAG exception handler now better handles SMP systems, where
     it was previously possible for CPUs to clobber a register value
     saved by another CPU.

   - Our implementation of memset() gained a couple of fixes for MIPSr6
     systems to return correct values in some cases where stores fault.

   - We now implement ioremap_wc() using the uncached-accelerated cache
     coherency attribute where supported, which is detected during boot,
     and fall back to plain uncached access where necessary. The
     MIPS-specific (and unused in tree) ioremap_uncached_accelerated() &
     ioremap_cacheable_cow() are removed.

   - The prctl(PR_SET_FP_MODE, ...) syscall is better supported for SMP
     systems by reworking the way we ensure remote CPUs that may be
     running threads within the affected process switch mode.

   - Systems using the MIPS Coherence Manager will now set the
     MIPS_IC_SNOOPS_REMOTE flag to avoid some unnecessary cache
     maintenance overhead when flushing the icache.

   - A few fixes were made for building with clang/LLVM, which now
     sucessfully builds kernels for many of our platforms.

   - Miscellaneous cleanups all over.

  And some platform-specific changes:

   - ar7 gained stubs for a few clock API functions to fix build
     failures for some drivers.

   - ath79 gained support for a few new SoCs, a few fixes & better
     gpio-keys support.

   - Ci20 now exposes its SPI bus using the spi-gpio driver.

   - The generic platform can now auto-detect a suitable value for
     PHYS_OFFSET based upon the memory map described by the device tree,
     allowing us to avoid wasting memory on page book-keeping for
     systems where RAM starts at a non-zero physical address.

   - Ingenic systems using the jz4740 platform code now link their
     vmlinuz higher to allow for kernels of a realistic size.

   - Loongson32 now builds the kernel targeting MIPSr1 rather than
     MIPSr2 to avoid CPU errata.

   - Loongson64 gains a couple of fixes, a workaround for a write
     buffering issue & support for the Loongson 3A R3.1 CPU.

   - Malta now uses the piix4-poweroff driver to handle powering down.

   - Microsemi Ocelot gained support for its SPI bus & NOR flash, its
     second MDIO bus and can now be supported by a FIT/.itb image.

   - Octeon saw a bunch of header cleanups which remove a lot of
     duplicate or unused code"

     the s390 tree.

   - Add an option for no compression to the "Kernel compression mode"
     menu, this will come in handy with the rework of the early boot
     code.

   - A large rework of the early boot code that will make life easier
     for KASAN and KASLR. With the rework the bootable uncompressed
     image is not generated anymore, only the bzImage is available. For
     debuggung purposes the new "no compression" option is used.

   - Re-enable the gcc plugins as the issue with the latent entropy
     plugin is solved with the early boot code rework.

   - More spectre relates changes:
      + Detect the etoken facility and remove expolines automatically.
      + Add expolines to a few more indirect branches.

   - A rewrite of the common I/O layer trace points to make them

     were setting the Global Bit too widely and therefore possibly
     exposing interesting memory needlessly.

   - Support for the upcoming Enhanced IBRS mode, which is preferred

Pull x86 cache QoS (RDT/CAR) updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Add support for pseudo-locked cache regions.

  Cache Allocation Technology (CAT) allows on certain CPUs to isolate a
  region of cache and 'lock' it. Cache pseudo-locking builds on the fact
  that a CPU can still read and write data pre-allocated outside its
  current allocated area on cache hit. With cache pseudo-locking data
  can be preloaded into a reserved portion of cache that no application
  can fill, and from that point on will only serve cache hits. The cache
  pseudo-locked memory is made accessible to user space where an
  application can map it into its virtual address space and thus have a
  region of memory with reduced average read latency.

  The locking is not perfect and gets totally screwed by WBINDV and
  similar mechanisms, but it provides a reasonable enhancement for
  certain types of latency sensitive applications.

  The implementation extends the current CAT mechanism and provides a
  generally useful exclusive CAT mode on which it builds the extra
  pseude-locked regions"

Pull RCU updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A large update to RCU:

  Preparatory work for consolidating the RCU flavors:

   - Introduce grace-period sequence numbers to the RCU-bh, RCU-preempt,
     and RCU-sched flavors, replacing the old ->gpnum and ->completed
     pair of fields.

     This change allows lockless code to obtain the complete
     grace-period state with a single READ_ONCE(), which is needed to
     maintain tolerable lock contention during the upcoming
     consolidation of the three RCU flavors.

     Note that grace-period sequence numbers are already used by
     rcu_barrier(), expedited RCU grace periods, and SRCU, and are thus
     already heavily used and well-tested. Joel Fernandes contributed a
     number of excellent fixes and improvements.

   - Clean up some grace-period-reporting loose ends, including
     improving the handling of quiescent states from offline CPUs and
     fixing some false-positive WARN_ON_ONCE() invocations.

     (Strictly speaking, the WARN_ON_ONCE() invocations were quite
     correct, but their invariants were (harmlessly) violated by the
     earlier sloppy handling of quiescent states from offline CPUs.)

     In addition, improve grace-period forward-progress guarantees so as
     to allow removal of fail-safe checks that required otherwise
     needless lock acquisitions. Finally, add more diagnostics to help
     debug the upcoming consolidation of the RCU-bh, RCU-preempt, and
     RCU-sched flavors.

  The rest:

   - SRCU updates

   - Updates to rcutorture and associated scripting.

   - The usual pile of miscellaneous fixes"
