libperf: Use sys/types.h to get ssize_t, not unistd.h
The sys/types.h header looks more sensible, from its name we can gather
it should be there because of some needed typedef, and it is much
smaller than unistd.h, so use it and fix up the fallout in places where
it was being used for something else entirely but being obtained by
sheer luck, indirectly.
perf tools: No need to include internal/lib.h from util/util.h
That was done just to have users of writen() and readn(), that before
had their prototypes in util/util.h to get it without having to add an
include for internal/lib.h, but the right way is to add it and by now
all places already do it.
Fix a fallout were readlink() was used but unistd.h was being obtained
by luck thru util.h -> internal/lib.h, now to check why unistd.h is
being included there...
Add perf_evsel__alloc_id()/perf_evsel__free_id() functions to libperf as
internal functions.
Move 'struct perf_sample_id' to internal/evsel.h header and change
'struct perf_sample_id::evsel' to 'struct perf_evsel' and the related
code that touches it.
perf evlist: Adopt backwards ring buffer state enum
As this isn't used at all in mmap.h but in evlist.h, so to cut down the
header dependency tree, move it to where it is used.
Also add mmap.h to the places using it but previously getting it
indirectly via evlist.h.
Add missing pthread.h to evlist.h, as it has a pthread_t struct member
and was getting the header via mmap.h.
Noticed while processing a Jiri's libperf batch touching mmap.h, where
almost everything gets rebuilt because evlist.h is so popular, so cut
down't this rebuild the world party.

libtraceevent: Add tep_get_event() in event-parse.h
The tep_get_event() function is an official libtracevent API, described
in the library man pages. However, it cannot be used by the library users because
it is not declared in the event-parse.h file, where all libtracevent APIs are.
The function declaration is added in event-parse.h file.
libtraceevent: Man pages fix, changes in event printing APIs
APIs for printing various trace event information were redesigned to be
more simple. However, the main libtraceevent man page was not updated
with those changes. The documentation is updated to describe the new
event print API.
libtraceevent: Man pages fix, rename tep_ref_get() to tep_get_ref()
The tep_ref_get() was renamed to tep_get_ref(), to be more consistent

still with the old name. The documentation is fixed to reflect the
actual name of the API.
libtraceevent: Round up in tep_print_event() time precision
When testing the output of the old trace-cmd compared to the one that
uses the updated tep_print_event() logic, it was different in that the
time stamp precision in the old format would round up to the nearest
precision, where as the new logic truncates. Bring back the old method
of rounding up.

net/ibmvnic: unlock rtnl_lock in reset so linkwatch_event can run
Commit a5681e20b541 ("net/ibmnvic: Fix deadlock problem in reset")
made the change to hold the RTNL lock during a reset to avoid deadlock
but linkwatch_event is fired during the reset and needs the RTNL lock.
That keeps linkwatch_event process from proceeding until the reset
is complete. The reset process cannot tolerate the linkwatch_event
processing after reset completes, so release the RTNL lock during the
process to allow a chance for linkwatch_event to run during reset.
This does not guarantee that the linkwatch_event will be processed as
soon as link state changes, but is an improvement over the current code
where linkwatch_event processing is always delayed, which prevents
transmissions on the device from being deactivated leading transmit
watchdog timer to time-out.
Release the RTNL lock before link state change and re-acquire after
the link state change to allow linkwatch_event to grab the RTNL lock
and run during the reset.

This patch reverts commit 75437bb304b20 (locking/pvqspinlock: Don't
wait if vCPU is preempted). A large performance regression was caused
by this commit. on over-subscription scenarios.
The test was run on a Xeon Skylake box, 2 sockets, 40 cores, 80 threads,
with three VMs of 80 vCPUs each. The score of ebizzy -M is reduced from
13000-14000 records/s to 1700-1800 records/s:
Exit from aggressive wait-early mechanism can result in premature yield
and extra scheduling latency.
Actually, only 6% of wait_early events are caused by vcpu_is_preempted()
being true. However, when one vCPU voluntarily releases its vCPU, all
the subsequently waiters in the queue will do the same and the cascading
effect leads to bad performance.

thermal: db8500: Rewrite to be a pure OF sensor
This patch rewrites the DB8500 thermal sensor to be a
pure OF sensor, so that it can be used with thermal zones
defined in the device tree.
This driver was initially merged before we had generic
thermal zone device tree bindings, and now it gets
modernized to the way we do things these days.
The old driver depended on a set of trigger points
provided in the device tree or platform data to
interpolate the current temperature between trigger
points depending on whether the trend was rising or
falling. This was bad because the trigger points should
be used for defining temperature zone policies and
bind to cooling devices.
As the PRCMU (power reset control management unit) can
only issue IRQs when we pass temperature trigger points
upward or downward We instead define a number of
temperature points inside the driver ranging from
15 to 100 degrees celsius. The effect is that when
we register the device we quickly trigger 15, 20 ... up
to the room temperature in succession and then we
get continous event IRQs also under normal operating
conditions, and the temperature of the system is now
reported more accurately (+/- 2.5 degrees celsius)
while in the past the first trigger point was at 70
degrees and the average temperature was simply reported
as 35 degrees celsius (between 70 degrees and 0) until
we passed 70 degrees which didn't accurately represent
the temperature of the system.
As a result of dropping all the trigger points from the
driver and reusing the core DT thermal zone management
code we reduce the code footprint quite a bit.

arm64: make use of is_compat_task instead of hardcoding this test
Each architecture has its own way to determine if a task is a compat task,
by using is_compat_task in arch_mmap_rnd, it allows more genericity and
then it prepares its moving to mm/.
Patch series "Provide generic top-down mmap layout functions", v6.
This series introduces generic functions to make top-down mmap layout
easily accessible to architectures, in particular riscv which was the
initial goal of this series. The generic implementation was taken from
arm64 and used successively by arm, mips and finally riscv.
Note that in addition the series fixes 2 issues:
- stack randomization was taken into account even if not necessary.
- [1] fixed an issue with mmap base which did not take into account
randomization but did not report it to arm and mips, so by moving arm64
into a generic library, this problem is now fixed for both
architectures.
This work is an effort to factorize architecture functions to avoid code
duplication and oversights as in [1].
