Git commit 152125b7a882df36a55a8eadbea6d0edf1461ee7
"s390/mm: implement dirty bits for large segment table entries"
broke the pmd_pfn function, it changed the return value from
'unsigned long' to 'int'. This breaks all machine configurations
with memory above the 8TB line.

After the file ptes have been removed the bit combination used to
encode non-linear mappings can be reused for the swap ptes. This
frees up a precious pte software bit. Reflect the change in the
swap encoding in the comments and do some cleanup while we are
at it.

<title>s390/kvm: remove delayed reallocation of page tables for KVM</title>

<content type='text'>
Replacing a 2K page table with a 4K page table while a VMA is active
for the affected memory region is fundamentally broken. Rip out the
page table reallocation code and replace it with a simple system
control 'vm.allocate_pgste'. If the system control is set the page
tables for all processes are allocated as full 4K pages, even for
processes that do not need it.

<title>kexec: allocate the kexec control page with KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_GFP</title>

<id>7e01b5acd88b3f3108d8c4ce44e3205d67437202</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduce KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_GFP to allow the architecture code
to override the gfp flags of the allocation for the kexec control
page. The loop in kimage_alloc_normal_control_pages allocates pages
with GFP_KERNEL until a page is found that happens to have an
address smaller than the KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT. On systems
with a large memory size but a small KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT
the loop will keep allocating memory until the oom killer steps in.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:

 1) Add BQL support to via-rhine, from Tino Reichardt.

 2) Integrate SWITCHDEV layer support into the DSA layer, so DSA drivers
    can support hw switch offloading.  From Floria Fainelli.

 3) Allow 'ip address' commands to initiate multicast group join/leave,
    from Madhu Challa.

 4) Many ipv4 FIB lookup optimizations from Alexander Duyck.

 5) Support EBPF in cls_bpf classifier and act_bpf action, from Daniel
    Borkmann.

 6) Remove the ugly compat support in ARP for ugly layers like ax25,
    rose, etc.  And use this to clean up the neigh layer, then use it to
    implement MPLS support.  All from Eric Biederman.

 7) Support L3 forwarding offloading in switches, from Scott Feldman.

 8) Collapse the LOCAL and MAIN ipv4 FIB tables when possible, to speed
    up route lookups even further.  From Alexander Duyck.

 9) Many improvements and bug fixes to the rhashtable implementation,
    from Herbert Xu and Thomas Graf.  In particular, in the case where
    an rhashtable user bulk adds a large number of items into an empty
    table, we expand the table much more sanely.

10) Don't make the tcp_metrics hash table per-namespace, from Eric
    Biederman.

11) Extend EBPF to access SKB fields, from Alexei Starovoitov.

12) Split out new connection request sockets so that they can be
    established in the main hash table.  Much less false sharing since
    hash lookups go direct to the request sockets instead of having to
    go first to the listener then to the request socks hashed
    underneath.  From Eric Dumazet.

13) Add async I/O support for crytpo AF_ALG sockets, from Tadeusz Struk.

14) Support stable privacy address generation for RFC7217 in IPV6.  From
    Hannes Frederic Sowa.

15) Hash network namespace into IP frag IDs, also from Hannes Frederic
    Sowa.

16) Convert PTP get/set methods to use 64-bit time, from Richard
    Cochran.

The software counters are not a part of the function measurement
block. Also we do not check for zdev-&gt;fmb != NULL when using these
counters (function measurement can be toggled at runtime). Just move
the software counters to struct zpci_dev.
