[ Upstream commit 1224b218a4b9203656ecc932152f4c81a97b4fcc ]

pldmfw calls crc32 code and depends on it being enabled, else
there is a link error as follows. So PLDMFW should select CRC32.

  lib/pldmfw/pldmfw.o: In function `pldmfw_flash_image':
  pldmfw.c:(.text+0x70f): undefined reference to `crc32_le_base'

This problem was introduced by commit b8265621f488 ("Add pldmfw library
for PLDM firmware update").

It manifests as of commit d69ea414c9b4 ("ice: implement device flash
update via devlink").

And is more likely to occur as of commit 9ad19171b6d6 ("lib/crc: remove
unnecessary prompt for CONFIG_CRC32 and drop 'default y'").

Found by chance while exercising builds based on tinyconfig.

Fixes: b8265621f488 ("Add pldmfw library for PLDM firmware update")

Pull bitmap updates from Yury Norov:

 - Fix unsigned comparison to -1 in CPUMAP_FILE_MAX_BYTES (Phil Auld)

 - cleanup nr_cpu_ids vs nr_cpumask_bits mess (me)

   This series cleans that mess and adds new config FORCE_NR_CPUS that
   allows to optimize cpumask subsystem if the number of CPUs is known
   at compile-time.

 - optimize find_bit() functions (me)

   Reworks find_bit() functions based on new FIND_{FIRST,NEXT}_BIT()
   macros.

 - add find_nth_bit() (me)

   Adds find_nth_bit(), which is ~70 times faster than bitcounting with
   for_each() loop:

	for_each_set_bit(bit, mask, size)
		if (n-- == 0)
			return bit;

   Also adds bitmap_weight_and() to let people replace this pattern:

	tmp = bitmap_alloc(nbits);
	bitmap_and(tmp, map1, map2, nbits);
	weight = bitmap_weight(tmp, nbits);
	bitmap_free(tmp);

   with a single bitmap_weight_and() call.

 - repair cpumask_check() (me)

   After switching cpumask to use nr_cpu_ids, cpumask_check() started
   generating many false-positive warnings. This series fixes it.

 - Add for_each_cpu_andnot() and for_each_cpu_andnot() (Valentin
   Schneider)

   Extends the API with one more function and applies it in sched/core.

* tag 'bitmap-6.1-rc1' of https://github.com/norov/linux: (28 commits)

With CONFIG_ZSTD_COMPRESS=m and CONFIG_ZSTD_DECOMPRESS=y we end up in
a situation when files from lib/zstd/common/ are compiled once to be
linked later for ZSTD_DECOMPRESS (build-in) and ZSTD_COMPRESS (module)
even though CFLAGS are different for builtins and modules.
So far somehow this was not a problem but enabling LLVM LTO exposes
the problem as:

ld.lld: error: linking module flags 'Code Model': IDs have conflicting values in 'lib/built-in.a(zstd_common.o at 5868)' and 'ld-temp.o'

This particular conflict is caused by KBUILD_CFLAGS=-mcmodel=medium vs.
KBUILD_CFLAGS_MODULE=-mcmodel=large , modules use the large model on
POWERPC as explained at
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/powerpc/Makefile?h=v5.18-rc4#n127
but the current use of common files is wrong anyway.

This works around the issue by introducing a zstd_common module with
shared code.

The size of cpumasks is hard-limited by compile-time parameter NR_CPUS,
but defined at boot-time when kernel parses ACPI/DT tables, and stored in
nr_cpu_ids. In many practical cases, number of CPUs for a target is known
at compile time, and can be provided with NR_CPUS.

In that case, compiler may be instructed to rely on NR_CPUS as on actual
number of CPUs, not an upper limit. It allows to optimize many cpumask
routines and significantly shrink size of the kernel image.

This patch adds FORCE_NR_CPUS option to teach the compiler to rely on
NR_CPUS and enable corresponding optimizations.

If FORCE_NR_CPUS=y, kernel will not set nr_cpu_ids at boot, but only check
that the actual number of possible CPUs is equal to NR_CPUS, and WARN if
that doesn't hold.

The new option is especially useful in embedded applications because
kernel configurations are unique for each SoC, the number of CPUs is
constant and known well, and memory limitations are typically harder.

For my 4-CPU ARM64 build with NR_CPUS=4, FORCE_NR_CPUS=y saves 46KB:
  add/remove: 3/4 grow/shrink: 46/729 up/down: 652/-46952 (-46300)

As requested at
https://lore.kernel.org/r/YtEgzHuuMts0YBCz@gondor.apana.org.au, move
__crypto_memneq into lib/crypto/ and put it under a new tristate.  The
tristate is CRYPTO_LIB_UTILS, and it builds a module libcryptoutils.  As
more crypto library utilities are being added, this creates a single
place for them to go without cluttering up the main lib directory.

The module's main file will be lib/crypto/utils.c.  However, leave
memneq.c as its own file because of its nonstandard license.

<title>lib/stackdepot: replace CONFIG_STACK_HASH_ORDER with automatic sizing</title>

<content type='text'>
As Linus explained [1], setting the stackdepot hash table size as a config
option is suboptimal, especially as stackdepot becomes a dependency of
less "expert" subsystems than initially (e.g.  DRM, networking,
SLUB_DEBUG):

: (a) it introduces a new compile-time question that isn't sane to ask
: a regular user, but is now exposed to regular users.

: (b) this by default uses 1MB of memory for a feature that didn't in
: the past, so now if you have small machines you need to make sure you
: make a special kernel config for them.

Ideally we would employ rhashtable for fully automatic resizing, which
should be feasible for many of the new users, but problematic for the
original users with restricted context that call __stack_depot_save() with
can_alloc == false, i.e.  KASAN.

However we can easily remove the config option and scale the hash table
automatically with system memory.  The STACK_HASH_MASK constant becomes
stack_hash_mask variable and is used only in one mask operation, so the
overhead should be negligible to none.  For early allocation we can employ
the existing alloc_large_system_hash() function and perform similar
scaling for the late allocation.

The existing limits of the config option (between 4k and 1M buckets) are
preserved, and scaling factor is set to one bucket per 16kB memory so on
64bit the max 1M buckets (8MB memory) is achieved with 16GB system, while
a 1GB system will use 512kB.

Because KASAN is reported to need the maximum number of buckets even with
smaller amounts of memory [2], set it as such when kasan_enabled().

If needed, the automatic scaling could be complemented with a boot-time
kernel parameter, but it feels pointless to add it without a specific use
case.

<content type='text'>
Generic MMIO read/write i.e., __raw_{read,write}{b,l,w,q} accessors
are typically used to read/write from/to memory mapped registers
and can cause hangs or some undefined behaviour in following few
cases,

* If the access to the register space is unclocked, for example: if
  there is an access to multimedia(MM) block registers without MM
  clocks.

* If the register space is protected and not set to be accessible from
  non-secure world, for example: only EL3 (EL: Exception level) access
  is allowed and any EL2/EL1 access is forbidden.

* If xPU(memory/register protection units) is controlling access to
  certain memory/register space for specific clients.

and more...

Such cases usually results in instant reboot/SErrors/NOC or interconnect
hangs and tracing these register accesses can be very helpful to debug
such issues during initial development stages and also in later stages.

So use ftrace trace events to log such MMIO register accesses which
provides rich feature set such as early enablement of trace events,
filtering capability, dumping ftrace logs on console and many more.

Sample output:

rwmmio_write: __qcom_geni_serial_console_write+0x160/0x1e0 width=32 val=0xa0d5d addr=0xfffffbfffdbff700
rwmmio_post_write: __qcom_geni_serial_console_write+0x160/0x1e0 width=32 val=0xa0d5d addr=0xfffffbfffdbff700
