The memory barrier dma_mb() is introduced by commit a76a37777f2c
("iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Ensure queue is read after updating prod pointer"),
which is used to ensure that prior (both reads and writes) accesses
to memory by a CPU are ordered w.r.t. a subsequent MMIO write.

After using io_stop_wc(), drivers reports following compile error when
compiled on X86.

  drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hns3/hns3_enet.c:2058:12: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘(’ token

It is because I missed to add the brackets after io_stop_wc macro. So
let's add the missing brackets.

<content type='text'>
For memory accesses with write-combining attributes (e.g. those returned
by ioremap_wc()), the CPU may wait for prior accesses to be merged with
subsequent ones. But in some situation, such wait is bad for the
performance.

We introduce io_stop_wc() to prevent the merging of write-combining
memory accesses before this macro with those after it.

We add implementation for ARM64 using DGH instruction and provide NOP
implementation for other architectures.

<title>locking/barriers, kcsan: Support generic instrumentation</title>

<content type='text'>
Thus far only smp_*() barriers had been defined by asm-generic/barrier.h
based on __smp_*() barriers, because the !SMP case is usually generic.

With the introduction of instrumentation, it also makes sense to have
asm-generic/barrier.h assist in the definition of instrumented versions
of mb(), rmb(), wmb(), dma_rmb(), and dma_wmb().

Because there is no requirement to distinguish the !SMP case, the
definition can be simpler: we can avoid also providing fallbacks for the
__ prefixed cases, and only check if `defined(__&lt;barrier&gt;)`, to finally
define the KCSAN-instrumented versions.

This also allows for the compiler to complain if an architecture
accidentally defines both the normal and __ prefixed variant.

Adds the required KCSAN instrumentation for barriers if CONFIG_SMP.
KCSAN supports modeling the effects of:

	smp_mb()
	smp_rmb()
	smp_wmb()
	smp_store_release()

<title>compiler.h: fix barrier_data() on clang</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3347acc6fcd4ee71ad18a9ff9d9dac176b517329</id>
<content type='text'>
Commit 815f0ddb346c ("include/linux/compiler*.h: make compiler-*.h
mutually exclusive") neglected to copy barrier_data() from
compiler-gcc.h into compiler-clang.h.

The definition in compiler-gcc.h was really to work around clang's more
aggressive optimization, so this broke barrier_data() on clang, and
consequently memzero_explicit() as well.

For example, this results in at least the memzero_explicit() call in
lib/crypto/sha256.c:sha256_transform() being optimized away by clang.

Fix this by moving the definition of barrier_data() into compiler.h.

Also move the gcc/clang definition of barrier() into compiler.h,
__memory_barrier() is icc-specific (and barrier() is already defined
using it in compiler-intel.h) and doesn't belong in compiler.h.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Add support for (optionally) using queued spinlocks &amp; rwlocks.

 - Support for a new faster system call ABI using the scv instruction on
   Power9 or later.

 - Drop support for the PROT_SAO mmap/mprotect flag as it will be
   unsupported on Power10 and future processors, leaving us with no way
   to implement the functionality it requests. This risks breaking
   userspace, though we believe it is unused in practice.

 - A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion
   checking. We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other
   architectures.

 - Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update
   code, which tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised
   systems, but was prone to crashes and other problems.

 - Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs.

 - A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link
   stack (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path.

 - Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as
   usual.
