Add a new member of offset into struct r5dev. It indicates the
offset of related dev[i].page. For now, since each device have a
privated page, the value is always 0. Thus, we set offset as 0
when allcate page in grow_buffers() and resize_stripes().
To support following different page offset, we try to use the page
offset rather than '0' directly for async_memcpy() and ops_run_io().
We try to support different page offset for xor compution functions
in the following. To avoid repeatly allocate a new array each time,
we add a memory region into scribble buffer to record offset.
No functional change.

do_init_timer() accepts any combination of timer flags handed in by the
caller without a sanity check, but only TIMER_DEFFERABLE, TIMER_PINNED and
TIMER_IRQSAFE are valid.
If the supplied flags have other bits set, this could result in
malfunction. If bits are set in TIMER_CPUMASK the first timer usage could
deference a cpu base which is outside the range of possible CPUs. If
TIMER_MIGRATION is set, then the switch_timer_base() will live lock.
Prevent that with a sanity check which warns when invalid flags are
supplied and masks them out.

The debugobject core could be slightly harder to corrupt if the
debug_obj_descr would be a pointer to const memory.
Depending on the architecture, const data structures are placed into
read-only memory and thus are harder to corrupt or hijack.
This descriptor is used to fix up stuff like timers and workqueues when
core kernel data structures are busted, so moving the descriptors to
read-only memory will make debugobjects more resilient to something going
wrong and then corrupting the function pointers inside struct
debug_obj_descr.

Support a shared tag bitmap, whereby request tags are unique over all
submission queues, and not just per submission queue.
As such, per device total queue depth is normally hw_queue_depth *

shared_tags is set, where that is the queue depth over all null blk

The BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES is one of the few bits of information in the
backing_dev_info shared between the block drivers and the writeback code.
To help untangling the dependency replace it with a queue flag and a
superblock flag derived from it. This also helps with the case of e.g.
a file system requiring stable writes due to its own checksumming, but
not forcing it on other users of the block device like the swap code.
One downside is that we an't support the stable_pages_required bdi
attribute in sysfs anymore. It is replaced with a queue attribute which
also is writable for easier testing.

MSR reads/writes should always access the L1 state, since the (nested)
hypervisor should intercept all the msrs it wants to adjust, and these
that it doesn't should be read by the guest as if the host had read it.
However IA32_TSC is an exception. Even when not intercepted, guest still
reads the value + TSC offset.
The write however does not take any TSC offset into account.
This is documented in Intel's SDM and seems also to happen on AMD as well.
This creates a problem when userspace wants to read the IA32_TSC value and then
write it. (e.g for migration)
In this case it reads L2 value but write is interpreted as an L1 value.
To fix this make the userspace initiated reads of IA32_TSC return L1 value
as well.
Huge thanks to Dave Gilbert for helping me understand this very confusing
semantic of MSR writes.

When building for an embedded target using Yocto, we're sometimes
observing that the version string that gets built into vmlinux (and
thus what uname -a reports) differs from the path under /lib/modules/
where modules get installed in the rootfs, but only in the length of
the -gabc123def suffix. Hence modprobe always fails.
The problem is that Yocto has the concept of "sstate" (shared state),
which allows different developers/buildbots/etc. to share build
artifacts, based on a hash of all the metadata that went into building
that artifact - and that metadata includes all dependencies (e.g. the
compiler used etc.). That normally works quite well; usually a clean
build (without using any sstate cache) done by one developer ends up
being binary identical to a build done on another host. However, one
thing that can cause two developers to end up with different builds
[and thus make one's vmlinux package incompatible with the other's
kernel-dev package], which is not captured by the metadata hashing, is
this `git describe`: The output of that can be affected by
(1) git version: before 2.11 git defaulted to a minimum of 7, since
2.11 (git.git commit e6c587) the default is dynamic based on the
number of objects in the repo
(2) hence even if both run the same git version, the output can differ
based on how many remotes are being tracked (or just lots of local
development branches or plain old garbage)
(3) and of course somebody could have a core.abbrev config setting in
~/.gitconfig
So in order to avoid `uname -a` output relying on such random details
of the build environment which are rather hard to ensure are
consistent between developers and buildbots, make sure the abbreviated
sha1 always consists of exactly 12 hex characters. That is consistent
with the current rule for -stable patches, and is almost always enough
to identify the head commit unambigously - in the few cases where it
does not, the v5.4.3-00021- prefix would certainly nail it down.
