Pull two MN10300 fixes from David Howells:
"The first fixes a problem with passing arrays rather than pointers to
get_user() where __typeof__ then wants to declare and initialise an
array variable which gcc doesn't like.
The second fixes a problem whereby putting mem=xxx into the kernel
command line causes init=xxx to get an incorrect value."

For LPAE, do_sect_fault used to be invoked as the second level access
flag handler. When transparent huge pages were introduced for LPAE,
do_page_fault was used instead.
Unfortunately, do_sect_fault remains defined but not used for LPAE code
resulting in a compile warning.
This patch surrounds do_sect_fault with #ifndef CONFIG_ARM_LPAE to fix
this warning.

Starting up the C compiler can be a slow operation on some systems.
Though these calls don't individually take a lot of time, they add up.
Rearrange the ARM Makefile a bit to avoid extra calls to the compiler
when they can be easily avoided.
When running with the Chrome OS ARM cross compiler
"armv7a-cros-linux-gnueabi-", this shaved .55 seconds (from 5.31
seconds to 4.76 seconds) off an incremental build of the kernel:
time make -j32 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=armv7a-cros-linux-gnueabi-

The %.dtb dependency is specified to depend on the PHONY "scripts".
That means that it'll build every time even if the underlying dtb file
hasn't been touched. Use an order-only prerequisites to fix this.
Also mark "dtbs" as PHONY for correctness.
This was broken in (70b0476 ARM: 7513/1: Make sure dtc is built before
running it).

There's no reason we have to protect the blocked_hash and file_lock_list
with the same spinlock. With the tests I have, breaking it in two gives
a barely measurable performance benefit, but it seems reasonable to make
this locking as granular as possible.

Currently, the hashing that the locking code uses to add these values
to the blocked_hash is simply calculated using fl_owner field. That's
valid in most cases except for server-side lockd, which validates the
owner of a lock based on fl_owner and fl_pid.
In the case where you have a small number of NFS clients doing a lot
of locking between different processes, you could end up with all
the blocked requests sitting in a very small number of hash buckets.
Add a new lm_owner_key operation to the lock_manager_operations that
will generate an unsigned long to use as the key in the hashtable.
That function is only implemented for server-side lockd, and simply
XORs the fl_owner and fl_pid.

Break up the blocked_list into a hashtable, using the fl_owner as a key.
This speeds up searching the hash chains, which is especially significant
for deadlock detection.
Note that the initial implementation assumes that hashing on fl_owner is
sufficient. In most cases it should be, with the notable exception being
server-side lockd, which compares ownership using a tuple of the
nlm_host and the pid sent in the lock request. So, this may degrade to a
single hash bucket when you only have a single NFS client. That will be
addressed in a later patch.
The careful observer may note that this patch leaves the file_lock_list
alone. There's much less of a case for turning the file_lock_list into a
hashtable. The only user of that list is the code that generates
/proc/locks, and it always walks the entire list.

Testing has shown that iterating over the blocked_list for deadlock
detection turns out to be a bottleneck. In order to alleviate that,
begin the process of turning it into a hashtable. We start by turning
the fl_link into a hlist_node and the global lists into hlists. A later
patch will do the conversion of the blocked_list to a hashtable.

Since we always hold the i_lock when inserting a new waiter onto the
fl_block list, we can avoid taking the global lock at all if we find
that it's empty when we go to wake up blocked waiters.

Having a global lock that protects all of this code is a clear
scalability problem. Instead of doing that, move most of the code to be
protected by the i_lock instead. The exceptions are the global lists
that the ->fl_link sits on, and the ->fl_block list.
->fl_link is what connects these structures to the
global lists, so we must ensure that we hold those locks when iterating
over or updating these lists.
Furthermore, sound deadlock detection requires that we hold the
blocked_list state steady while checking for loops. We also must ensure
that the search and update to the list are atomic.
For the checking and insertion side of the blocked_list, push the
acquisition of the global lock into __posix_lock_file and ensure that
checking and update of the blocked_list is done without dropping the
lock in between.
On the removal side, when waking up blocked lock waiters, take the
global lock before walking the blocked list and dequeue the waiters from
the global list prior to removal from the fl_block list.
With this, deadlock detection should be race free while we minimize
excessive file_lock_lock thrashing.
Finally, in order to avoid a lock inversion problem when handling
/proc/locks output we must ensure that manipulations of the fl_block
list are also protected by the file_lock_lock.

Move the fl_link list handling routines into a separate set of helpers.
Also ensure that locks and requests are always put on global lists
last (after fully initializing them) and are taken off before unintializing
them.

commit 66189be74 (CIFS: Fix VFS lock usage for oplocked files) exported
the locks_delete_block symbol. There's already an exported helper
function that provides this capability however, so make cifs use that
instead and turn locks_delete_block back into a static function.
Note that if fl->fl_next == NULL then this lock has already been through
locks_delete_block(), so we should be OK to ignore an ENOENT error here
and simply not retry the lock.

Instances either don't look at it at all (the majority of cases) or
only want it to find the superblock (which can be had as dentry->d_sb).
A few cases that want more are actually safe with dentry->d_inode -
the only precaution needed is the check that it hadn't been replaced with
NULL by rmdir() or by overwriting rename(), which case should be simply
treated as cache miss.
