Remove superfluous newlines from inline assemblies. Compilers use the
number of lines of inline assemblies as heuristic for the complexity
and inline decisions. Therefore inline assemblies should only contain
as many lines as required.
A lot of inline assemblies contain a superfluous newline for the last
line. Remove such newlines to improve compiler inlining decisions.

Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.
system_wq is a per-CPU worqueue, yet nothing in its name tells about that
CPU affinity constraint, which is very often not required by users. Make
it clear by renaming system_wq to system_percpu_wq.
queue_work() / queue_delayed_work() mod_delayed_work() will now use the
new per-cpu wq.
The old wq will be kept for a few release cylces.

Use asm_inline for all inline assemblies which make use of the EX_TABLE or
ALTERNATIVE macros.
These macros expand to many lines and the compiler assumes the number of
lines within an inline assembly is the same as the number of instructions
within an inline assembly. This has an effect on inlining and loop
unrolling decisions.
In order to avoid incorrect assumptions use asm_inline, which tells the
compiler that an inline assembly has the smallest possible size.
In order to avoid confusion when asm_inline should be used or not, since a
couple of inline assemblies are quite large: the rule is to always use
asm_inline whenever the EX_TABLE or ALTERNATIVE macro is used. In specific
cases there may be reasons to not follow this guideline, but that should
be documented with the corresponding code.
Using the inline qualifier everywhere has only a small effect on the kernel
image size:
add/remove: 0/10 grow/shrink: 19/8 up/down: 1492/-1858 (-366)
The only location where this seems to matter is load_unaligned_zeropad()
from word-at-a-time.h where the compiler inlines more functions within the
dcache code, which is indeed code where performance matters.

Retrieve electrical power readings for resources in a computing
environment via diag 0x324. diag 0x324 stores the power readings in the
power information block (pib).
Provide power readings from pib via diag324 ioctl interface. diag324
ioctl provides new pib to the user only if the threshold time has passed
since the last call. Otherwise, cache data is returned. When there are
no active readers, cleanup of pib buffer is performed.
