Linus Torvalds 58bca4a8fa Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.linaro.org/people/mszyprowski/linux-dma-mapping
Pull DMA mapping branch from Marek Szyprowski:
 "Short summary for the whole series:

  A few limitations have been identified in the current dma-mapping
  design and its implementations for various architectures.  There exist
  more than one function for allocating and freeing the buffers:
  currently these 3 are used dma_{alloc, free}_coherent,
  dma_{alloc,free}_writecombine, dma_{alloc,free}_noncoherent.

  For most of the systems these calls are almost equivalent and can be
  interchanged.  For others, especially the truly non-coherent ones
  (like ARM), the difference can be easily noticed in overall driver
  performance.  Sadly not all architectures provide implementations for
  all of them, so the drivers might need to be adapted and cannot be
  easily shared between different architectures.  The provided patches
  unify all these functions and hide the differences under the already
  existing dma attributes concept.  The thread with more references is
  available here:

    http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-sh/msg09777.html

  These patches are also a prerequisite for unifying DMA-mapping
  implementation on ARM architecture with the common one provided by
  dma_map_ops structure and extending it with IOMMU support.  More
  information is available in the following thread:

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/12819

  More works on dma-mapping framework are planned, especially in the
  area of buffer sharing and managing the shared mappings (together with
  the recently introduced dma_buf interface: commit d15bd7ee44
  "dma-buf: Introduce dma buffer sharing mechanism").

  The patches in the current set introduce a new alloc/free methods
  (with support for memory attributes) in dma_map_ops structure, which
  will later replace dma_alloc_coherent and dma_alloc_writecombine
  functions."

People finally started piping up with support for merging this, so I'm
merging it as the last of the pending stuff from the merge window.
Looks like pohmelfs is going to wait for 3.5 and more external support
for merging.

Alexander Graf e1f8acf838 KVM: PPC: Save/Restore CR over vcpu_run
On PPC, CR2-CR4 are nonvolatile, thus have to be saved across function calls.

patch for Book3S-HV. This patch saves/restores CR for all KVM capable PPC hosts.

Paul Mackerras a5ddea0e78 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Save and restore CR in __kvmppc_vcore_entry
The ABI specifies that CR fields CR2--CR4 are nonvolatile across function
calls.  Currently __kvmppc_vcore_entry doesn't save and restore the CR,
leading to CR2--CR4 getting corrupted with guest values, possibly leading
to incorrect behaviour in its caller.  This adds instructions to save
and restore CR at the points where we save and restore the nonvolatile
GPRs.

Paul Mackerras b4e51229d8 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix kvm_alloc_linear in case where no linears exist
In kvm_alloc_linear we were using and deferencing ri after the
list_for_each_entry had come to the end of the list.  In that
situation, ri is not really defined and probably points to the
list head.  This will happen every time if the free_linears list
is empty, for instance.  This led to a NULL pointer dereference
crash in memset on POWER7 while trying to allocate an HPT in the
case where no HPTs were preallocated.

This fixes it by using a separate variable for the return value
from the loop iterator.

Alexander Graf b8e6f8ae51 KVM: PPC: Book3S: Compile fix for ppc32 in HIOR access code
We were failing to compile on book3s_32 with the following errors:

arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_pr.c:883:45: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]
arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_pr.c:898:79: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]

Fix this by explicity casting the u64 to long before we use it as a pointer.

Also, on PPC32 we can not use get_user/put_user for 64bit wide variables,
as there is no single instruction that could load or store variables that big.

So instead, we have to use copy_from/to_user which works everywhere.

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
 "Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
  separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
  dependencies.

  I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
  and made sure that they don't break.

  The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
  dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
  optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().

  This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
  asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.

  The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h.  It holds a number of
  low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
  memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
  aren't used in many places (eg.  switch_to()).

  These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:

    (1) asm/barrier.h

        Move memory barriers here.  This already done for MIPS and Alpha.

    (2) asm/switch_to.h

        Move switch_to() and related stuff here.

    (3) asm/exec.h

        Move arch_align_stack() here.  Other process execution related bits
        could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.

    (4) asm/cmpxchg.h

        Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
        frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().

    (5) asm/bug.h

        Move die() and related bits.

    (6) asm/auxvec.h

        Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.

  Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."

Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that.  We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 1ce447b90f powerpc/perf: Fix instruction address sampling on 970 and Power4
970 and Power4 don't support "continuous sampling" which means that
when we aren't in marked instruction sampling mode (marked events),
SIAR isn't updated with the last instruction sampled before the
perf interrupt. On those processors, we must thus use the exception
SRR0 value as the sampled instruction pointer.

Those processors also don't support the SIPR and SIHV bits in MMCRA
which means we need some kind of heuristic to decide if SIAR values
represent kernel or user addresses.

We have code to take environmental and power warning (EPOW)
interrupts but it simply prints a terse error message:

EPOW <0x6240040000000b8 0x0 0x0>

which tells us nothing about what happened. Even worse, if we
don't correctly respond to the interrupt we may get terminated
by firmware.

Add code to printk some useful information when we get EPOW events.
We want to make it clear that we have an error, that it was
reported by firmware and that the RTAS error log will have more
detailed information. eg:

	Ambient temperature too high reported by firmware.
	Check RTAS error log for details

Depending on the error encountered, we now issue an immediate or
an orderly power down.

Move initialization of the EPOW interrupt earlier in boot since we
want to respond to them as early as possible.

Gavin Shan 1a5c2e63f4 powerpc/eeh: Retrieve PHB from global list
Currently, the existing PHBs are retrieved from the FDT (Flat
Device Tree) based on the name of FDT node. Specificly, those
FDT nodes whose names have prefix "pci" are regarded as PHBs.
That's inappropriate because some PCI bridges possibilly have
names leading with "pci". It caused EEH is enabled on same
PCI devices for towice.

The patch fixes the above issue. Besides, the PHBs are expected
to be figured out from FDT before enable EEH on them. Therefore,
it's resonable to retrieve the PHBs from the global linked list
traced by variable "hose_list" insteading poking them from FDT.

For the EEH implementation on pSeries platform, RTAS is critical
because all low-level functions are implemented based on RTAS.
Therefore, we should make sure "/rtas" OF node is available and
ready before to enable EEH core. However, it actually introduced
duplicate since the previous pSeries platform dependent initialization
function already do the check. Besides, we want to make eeh core
platform independent, so RTAS related staff should be removed there.
The patch removes the duplicate check on "/rtas" OF node for eeh
core.

use this for early params as well, in future.

Linus Torvalds ed2d265d12 The following text was taken from the original review request:
"[RFC - PATCH 0/7] consolidation of BUG support code."
 		https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/26/525
 --
 
 The changes shown here are to unify linux's BUG support under
 the one <linux/bug.h> file.  Due to historical reasons, we have
 some BUG code in bug.h and some in kernel.h -- i.e. the support for
 BUILD_BUG in linux/kernel.h predates the addition of linux/bug.h,
 but old code in kernel.h wasn't moved to bug.h at that time.  As
 a band-aid, kernel.h was including <asm/bug.h> to pseudo link them.
 
 This has caused confusion[1] and general yuck/WTF[2] reactions.
 Here is an example that violates the principle of least surprise:
 
       CC      lib/string.o
       lib/string.c: In function 'strlcat':
       lib/string.c:225:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'BUILD_BUG_ON'
       make[2]: *** [lib/string.o] Error 1
       $
       $ grep linux/bug.h lib/string.c
       #include <linux/bug.h>
       $
 
 We've included <linux/bug.h> for the BUG infrastructure and yet we
 still get a compile fail!  [We've not kernel.h for BUILD_BUG_ON.]
 Ugh - very confusing for someone who is new to kernel development.
 
 With the above in mind, the goals of this changeset are:
 
 1) find and fix any include/*.h files that were relying on the
    implicit presence of BUG code.
 2) find and fix any C files that were consuming kernel.h and
    hence relying on implicitly getting some/all BUG code.
 3) Move the BUG related code living in kernel.h to <linux/bug.h>
 4) remove the asm/bug.h from kernel.h to finally break the chain.
 
 During development, the order was more like 3-4, build-test, 1-2.
 But to ensure that git history for bisect doesn't get needless
 build failures introduced, the commits have been reorderd to fix
 the problem areas in advance.

Jason Baron 909af768e8 coredump: remove VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag
The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a
qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which
can be quite large.  There are already a number of filter flags in
/proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types'
of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this
case).

Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates
the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag.  The flag is used internally by
the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages.  However, it is simple
enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need
for this flag.

The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new
'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags:
'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'.  The core dump filters
continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the
region.

The qemu code which implements this features is at:

  http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch

In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this
patch.

I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for
security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are
dumped.

This patch:

The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to
indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section.  However, we
can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against
the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from
arch_vma_name().  Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

Pull PCI changes (including maintainer change) from Jesse Barnes:
 "This pull has some good cleanups from Bjorn and Yinghai, as well as

  There's also a new initcall_debug feature from Arjan which will print
  out quirk timing information to help identify slow quirks for fixing
  or refinement (Yinghai sent in a few patches to do just that once the
  new debug code landed).

  Beyond that, I'm handing off PCI maintainership to Bjorn Helgaas.
  He's been a core PCI and Linux contributor for some time now, and has
  kindly volunteered to take over.  I just don't feel I have the time
  for PCI review and work that it deserves lately (I've taken on some
  other projects), and haven't been as responsive lately as I'd like, so
  I approached Bjorn asking if he'd like to manage things.  He's going
  to give it a try, and I'm confident he'll do at least as well as I
  have in keeping the tree managed, patches flowing, and keeping things
  stable."

 "Here's the powerpc batch for this merge window.  It is going to be a
  bit more nasty than usual as in touching things outside of
  arch/powerpc mostly due to the big iSeriesectomy :-) We finally got
  rid of the bugger (legacy iSeries support) which was a PITA to
  maintain and that nobody really used anymore.

  Here are some of the highlights:

   - Legacy iSeries is gone.  Thanks Stephen ! There's still some bits
     and pieces remaining if you do a grep -ir series arch/powerpc but
     they are harmless and will be removed in the next few weeks
     hopefully.

   - The 'fadump' functionality (Firmware Assisted Dump) replaces the
     previous (equivalent) "pHyp assisted dump"...  it's a rewrite of a
     mechanism to get the hypervisor to do crash dumps on pSeries, the
     new implementation hopefully being much more reliable.  Thanks

   - The "EEH" code (pSeries PCI error handling & recovery) got a big
     spring cleaning, motivated by the need to be able to implement a
     new backend for it on top of some new different type of firwmare.

     The work isn't complete yet, but a good chunk of the cleanups is
     there.  Note that this adds a field to struct device_node which is
     not very nice and which Grant objects to.  I will have a patch soon
     that moves that to a powerpc private data structure (hopefully
     before rc1) and we'll improve things further later on (hopefully
     getting rid of the need for that pointer completely).  Thanks Gavin
     Shan.

   - I dug into our exception & interrupt handling code to improve the
     way we do lazy interrupt handling (and make it work properly with
     "edge" triggered interrupt sources), and while at it found & fixed
     a wagon of issues in those areas, including adding support for page
     fault retry & fatal signals on page faults.

   - Your usual random batch of small fixes & updates, including a bunch
     of new embedded boards, both Freescale and APM based ones, etc..."

I fixed up some conflicts with the generalized irq-domain changes from
Grant Likely, hopefully correctly.
