commit e96c6b8f212a ("memblock: report failures when memblock_can_resize
is not set") introduced the usage of panic, which is not defined in
memblock test.

Let's define it directly in panic.h to fix it.

commit 6a9531c3a880 ("memblock: fix crash when reserved memory is not
added to memory") introduce the usage of early_pfn_to_nid, which is not
defined in memblock tests.

The original definition of early_pfn_to_nid is defined in mm.h, so let
add this in the corresponding mm.h.

Include the header that defines u32.
This fixes build of 6.6.23 and 6.1.83 kernels for Alpine Linux, which
uses musl libc. I assume that GNU libc indirecly pulls in linux/types.h.

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:

 - Freelist loading optimization (Chengming Zhou)

   When the per-cpu slab is depleted and a new one loaded from the cpu
   partial list, optimize the loading to avoid an irq enable/disable
   cycle. This results in a 3.5% performance improvement on the "perf
   bench sched messaging" test.

 - Kernel boot parameters cleanup after SLAB removal (Xiongwei Song)

   Due to two different main slab implementations we've had boot
   parameters prefixed either slab_ and slub_ with some later becoming
   an alias as both implementations gained the same functionality (i.e.
   slab_nomerge vs slub_nomerge). In order to eventually get rid of the
   implementation-specific names, the canonical and documented
   parameters are now all prefixed slab_ and the slub_ variants become
   deprecated but still working aliases.

 - SLAB_ kmem_cache creation flags cleanup (Vlastimil Babka)

   The flags had hardcoded #define values which became tedious and
   error-prone when adding new ones. Assign the values via an enum that
   takes care of providing unique bit numbers. Also deprecate
   SLAB_MEM_SPREAD which was only used by SLAB, so it's a no-op since
   SLAB removal. Assign it an explicit zero value. The removals of the
   flag usage are handled independently in the respective subsystems,
   with a final removal of any leftover usage planned for the next
   release.

 - Misc cleanups and fixes (Chengming Zhou, Xiaolei Wang, Zheng Yejian)

   Includes removal of unused code or function parameters and a fix of a
   memleak.

<title>work around gcc bugs with 'asm goto' with outputs</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4356e9f841f7fbb945521cef3577ba394c65f3fc</id>
<content type='text'>
We've had issues with gcc and 'asm goto' before, and we created a
'asm_volatile_goto()' macro for that in the past: see commits
3f0116c3238a ("compiler/gcc4: Add quirk for 'asm goto' miscompilation
bug") and a9f180345f53 ("compiler/gcc4: Make quirk for
asm_volatile_goto() unconditional").

Then, much later, we ended up removing the workaround in commit
43c249ea0b1e ("compiler-gcc.h: remove ancient workaround for gcc PR
58670") because we no longer supported building the kernel with the
affected gcc versions, but we left the macro uses around.

Now, Sean Christopherson reports a new version of a very similar
problem, which is fixed by re-applying that ancient workaround.  But the
problem in question is limited to only the 'asm goto with outputs'
cases, so instead of re-introducing the old workaround as-is, let's
rename and limit the workaround to just that much less common case.

It looks like there are at least two separate issues that all hit in
this area:

 (a) some versions of gcc don't mark the asm goto as 'volatile' when it
     has outputs:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98619
        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110420

     which is easy to work around by just adding the 'volatile' by hand.

 (b) Internal compiler errors:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110422

     which are worked around by adding the extra empty 'asm' as a
     barrier, as in the original workaround.

but the problem Sean sees may be a third thing since it involves bad
code generation (not an ICE) even with the manually added 'volatile'.

but the same old workaround works for this case, even if this feels a
bit like voodoo programming and may only be hiding the issue.
