[PATCH v2 0/5] x86 switch_mm uninlining and IRQ improvements

[Andy Lutomirski]

Hi all-

I've been playing with context switching lately, and I'm going to start
sending out some of the patches that should be mostly self-contained and
ready for -tip.

Here's a little batch to start improving switch_mm.  It uninlines it
and makes it run with IRQs off.  (AFAICT everyone who's modified it
thought it ran with IRQs off, but that's not always the case.  I
don't know of any bugs that this fixes, but it'll be needed for PCID
to avoid introducing really nasty races.)

This may also help a bit with FSGSBASE -- not sure yet.  It certainly
won't hurt.

It contains a trivial off-topic ARM patch to avoid breaking the build.

Andy Lutomirski (5):
  arm: Include linux/preempt.h from asm/mmu_context.h
  sched: Add switch_mm_irqs_off and use it in the scheduler
  x86/mm: Build arch/x86/mm/tlb.c even on !SMP
  x86/mm: Uninline switch_mm
  x86/mm: Turn off IRQs in switch_mm
