parisc: Ensure full cache coherency for kmap/kunmap
Helge Deller noted a few weeks ago problems with the AIO support on
parisc. This change is the result of numerous iterations on how best to
deal with this problem.
The solution adopted here is to provide full cache coherency in a
uniform manner on all parisc systems. This involves calling
flush_dcache_page() on kmap operations and flush_kernel_dcache_page() on
kunmap operations. As a result, the copy_user_page() and
clear_user_page() functions can be removed and the overall code is
simpler.
The change ensures that both userspace and kernel aliases to a mapped
page are invalidated and flushed. This is necessary for the correct
operation of PA8800 and PA8900 based systems which do not support
inequivalent aliases.
With this change, I have observed no cache related issues on c8000 and
rp3440. It is now possible for example to do kernel builds with "-j64"
on four way systems.
On systems using XFS file systems, the patch recently posted by Mikulas
Patocka to "fix crash using XFS on loopback" is needed to avoid a hang
caused by an uninitialized lock passed to flush_dcache_page() in the
page struct.

arm64, jump label: detect %c support for ARM64
As commit a9468f30b5eac6 "ARM: 7333/2: jump label: detect %c
support for ARM", this patch detects the same thing for ARM64
because some ARM64 GCC versions have the same issue.
Some versions of ARM64 GCC which do support asm goto, do not
support the %c specifier. Since we need the %c to support jump
labels on ARM64, detect that too in the asm goto detection script
to avoid build errors with these versions.

This tool is designed to assist kernel and OS developers in optimizing
their linux stack's suspend/resume time. Using a kernel image built with a
few extra options enabled, the tool will execute a suspend and will
capture dmesg and ftrace data until resume is complete. This data is
transformed into a device timeline and a callgraph to give a quick and
detailed view of which devices and callbacks are taking the most time in
suspend/resume. The output is a single html file which can be viewed in
firefox or chrome.

f2fs: improve write performance under frequent fsync calls
When considering a bunch of data writes with very frequent fsync calls, we
are able to think the following performance regression.
N: Node IO, D: Data IO, IO scheduler: cfq
Issue pending IOs
D1 D2 D3 D4
D1 D2 D3 D4 N1
D2 D3 D4 N1 N2
N1 D3 D4 N2 D1
--> N1 can be selected by cfq becase of the same priority of N and D.
Then D3 and D4 would be delayed, resuling in performance degradation.
So, when processing the fsync call, it'd better give higher priority to data IOs
than node IOs by assigning WRITE and WRITE_SYNC respectively.
This patch improves the random wirte performance with frequent fsync calls by up
to 10%.

Btrfs: introduce the delayed inode ref deletion for the single link inode
The inode reference item is close to inode item, so we insert it simultaneously
with the inode item insertion when we create a file/directory.. In fact, we also
can handle the inode reference deletion by the same way. So we made this patch to
introduce the delayed inode reference deletion for the single link inode(At most
case, the file doesn't has hard link, so we don't take the hard link into account).
This function is based on the delayed inode mechanism. After applying this patch,
we can reduce the time of the file/directory deletion by ~10%.
