Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"As usual, lots of singleton and doubleton patches all over the tree
and there's little I can say which isn't in the individual changelogs.
The lengthier patch series are
- 'kdump: use generic functions to simplify crashkernel reservation
in arch', from Baoquan He. This is mainly cleanups and
consolidation of the 'crashkernel=' kernel parameter handling
- After much discussion, David Laight's 'minmax: Relax type checks in
min() and max()' is here. Hopefully reduces some typecasting and
the use of min_t() and max_t()
- A group of patches from Oleg Nesterov which clean up and slightly
fix our handling of reads from /proc/PID/task/... and which remove
task_struct.thread_group"

The thread_global_copy subtest of the live migrate selftest creates a
large number of threads and waits 10ms for them all to start. This is
not enough time to wait for the threaded tasks to start, as some may
need to wait for additional ring space to be granted. Threads that do
so are at risk of getting stopped (signaled) in the middle of waiting
for additional space, which can result in ERESTARTSYS getting reported
erroneously by i915_request_wait.
Instead of waiting a flat 10ms for the threads to start, wait 10ms per
thread. This grants enough of a buffer for each thread to wait for
additional ring space when needed.

Currently the KMD is using enum i915_cache_level to set caching policy for
buffer objects. This is flaky because the PAT index which really controls
the caching behavior in PTE has far more levels than what's defined in the
enum. In addition, the PAT index is platform dependent, having to translate
between i915_cache_level and PAT index is not reliable, and makes the code
more complicated.
From UMD's perspective there is also a necessity to set caching policy for
performance fine tuning. It's much easier for the UMD to directly use PAT
index because the behavior of each PAT index is clearly defined in Bspec.
Having the abstracted i915_cache_level sitting in between would only cause
more ambiguity. PAT is expected to work much like MOCS already works today,
and by design userspace is expected to select the index that exactly
matches the desired behavior described in the hardware specification.
For these reasons this patch replaces i915_cache_level with PAT index. Also
note, the cache_level is not completely removed yet, because the KMD still
has the need of creating buffer objects with simple cache settings such as
cached, uncached, or writethrough. For kernel objects, cache_level is used
for simplicity and backward compatibility. For Pre-gen12 platforms PAT can
have 1:1 mapping to i915_cache_level, so these two are interchangeable. see
the use of LEGACY_CACHELEVEL.
One consequence of this change is that gen8_pte_encode is no longer working
for gen12 platforms due to the fact that gen12 platforms has different PAT
definitions. In the meantime the mtl_pte_encode introduced specfically for
MTL becomes generic for all gen12 platforms. This patch renames the MTL
PTE encode function into gen12_pte_encode and apply it to all gen12. Even
though this change looks unrelated, but separating them would temporarily
break gen12 PTE encoding, thus squash them in one patch.
Special note: this patch changes the way caching behavior is controlled in
the sense that some objects are left to be managed by userspace. For such
objects we need to be careful not to change the userspace settings.There
are kerneldoc and comments added around obj->cache_coherent, cache_dirty,
and how to bypass the checkings by i915_gem_object_has_cache_level. For
full understanding, these changes need to be looked at together with the
two follow-up patches, one disables the {set|get}_caching ioctl's and the
other adds set_pat extension to the GEM_CREATE uAPI.

If we pipeline the PTE updates and then do the copy of those pages
within a single unpreemptible command packet, we can submit the copies
and leave them to be scheduled without having to synchronously wait
under a global lock. In order to manage migration, we need to
preallocate the page tables (and keep them pinned and available for use
at any time), causing a bottleneck for migrations as all clients must
contend on the limited resources. By inlining the ppGTT updates and
performing the blit atomically, each client only owns the PTE while in
use, and so we can reschedule individual operations however we see fit.
And most importantly, we do not need to take a global lock on the shared
vm, and wait until the operation is complete before releasing the lock
for others to claim the PTE for themselves.
