Frank Svendsboe 2e929d001e mtd: of_parts: fix breakage in Kconfig
MTD_OF_PARTS and the default setting is not working due to using 'Y'
instead of 'y', introduced in commit
d6137badef. This made our board, and
possibly other boards using DTS defined partitions and not having
CONFIG_MTD_OF_PARTS=y defined in the defconfig, fail to mount root.

Merge tag 'for-linus-3.4' of git://git.infradead.org/mtd-2.6

Pull MTD changes from David Woodhouse:
 - Artem's cleanup of the MTD API continues apace.
 - Fixes and improvements for ST FSMC and SuperH FLCTL NAND, amongst
   others.
 - More work on DiskOnChip G3, new driver for DiskOnChip G4.
 - Clean up debug/warning printks in JFFS2 to use pr_<level>.

Fix up various trivial conflicts, largely due to changes in calling
conventions for things like dmaengine_prep_slave_sg() (new inline
wrapper to hide new parameter, clashing with rewrite of previously last
parameter that used to be an 'append' flag, and is now a bitmap of
'unsigned long flags').

(Also some header file fallout - like so many merges this merge window -
and silly conflicts with sparse fixes)

Brian Norris f0e0c09b88 mtd: mtdoops: kill Kconfig usage instructions
The mtdoops usage instructions found in Kconfig have been incorrect
since:

    commit 2e386e4bac
    mtd: mtdoops: refactor as a kmsg_dumper

mtdoops no longer uses a console. Now, if you build it into your kernel,
you add something like the following to your command line to select
partition X as your logging partition:

    mtdoops.mtddev=X

Anyway, it seems better to leave the documentation out of Kconfig.

Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov 4d42942cff mtd: make MTD_CONCAT support mandatory
Move mtdconcat to be an integral part of the mtd core. It's a tiny bit
of code, which bears 'say Y if you don't know what to do' note in the
Kconfig. OTOH there are several ugly ifdefs depending on the MTD_CONCAT.
So, making MTD_CONCAT support mandatory will allow us to clean up code a
lot.

Kconfig entry is changed to be a bool defaulting to Y, so all code
pieces depending on it, will have MTD_CONCAT Kconfig symbol and
CONFIG_MTD_CONCAT define. This will be removed in one of next patches.

David Woodhouse 7de6f798e1 mtd: Make SM_FTL depend on MTD_NAND
Randy Dunlap observed a build problem with the following config:

CONFIG_SM_FTL=y
CONFIG_SM_FTL_MUSEUM=y

CONFIG_MTD_NAND=m

The ECC calculation routines are then built as a module, but referenced
by the sm_ftl code in the kernel, resulting in a build failure. The
simple fix is to make CONFIG_SM_FTL depend on MTD_NAND unconditionally
-- it's pointless without hardware support anyway.

Fix some typos which Randy pointed out, too.

Richard Purdie 4b23aff083 [MTD] oops and panic message logging to MTD device
Kernel oops and panic messages are invaluable when debugging crashes.
These messages often don't make it to flash based logging methods (say a
syslog on jffs2) due to the overheads involved in writing to flash.

This patch allows you to turn an MTD partition into a circular log
buffer where kernel oops and panic messages are written to. The messages
are obtained by registering a console driver and checking
oops_in_progress. Erases are performed in advance to maximise the
chances of a saving messages.

To activate it, add console=ttyMTDx to the kernel commandline (where x
is the mtd device number to use).

Artem B. Bityutskiy 801c135ce7 UBI: Unsorted Block Images
UBI (Latin: "where?") manages multiple logical volumes on a single
flash device, specifically supporting NAND flash devices. UBI provides
a flexible partitioning concept which still allows for wear-levelling
across the whole flash device.

In a sense, UBI may be compared to the Logical Volume Manager
(LVM). Whereas LVM maps logical sector numbers to physical HDD sector
numbers, UBI maps logical eraseblocks to physical eraseblocks.

More information may be found at
http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/ubi.html

Partitioning/Re-partitioning

  An UBI volume occupies a certain number of erase blocks. This is
  limited by a configured maximum volume size, which could also be
  viewed as the partition size. Each individual UBI volume's size can
  be changed independently of the other UBI volumes, provided that the
  sum of all volume sizes doesn't exceed a certain limit.

  UBI supports dynamic volumes and static volumes. Static volumes are
  read-only and their contents are protected by CRC check sums.

Bad eraseblocks handling

  UBI transparently handles bad eraseblocks. When a physical
  eraseblock becomes bad, it is substituted by a good physical
  eraseblock, and the user does not even notice this.

Scrubbing

  On a NAND flash bit flips can occur on any write operation,
  sometimes also on read. If bit flips persist on the device, at first
  they can still be corrected by ECC, but once they accumulate,
  correction will become impossible. Thus it is best to actively scrub
  the affected eraseblock, by first copying it to a free eraseblock
  and then erasing the original. The UBI layer performs this type of
  scrubbing under the covers, transparently to the UBI volume users.

Erase Counts

  UBI maintains an erase count header per eraseblock. This frees
  higher-level layers (like file systems) from doing this and allows
  for centralized erase count management instead. The erase counts are
  used by the wear-levelling algorithm in the UBI layer. The algorithm
  itself is exchangeable.

Booting from NAND

  For booting directly from NAND flash the hardware must at least be
  capable of fetching and executing a small portion of the NAND
  flash. Some NAND flash controllers have this kind of support. They
  usually limit the window to a few kilobytes in erase block 0. This
  "initial program loader" (IPL) must then contain sufficient logic to
  load and execute the next boot phase.

  Due to bad eraseblocks, which may be randomly scattered over the
  flash device, it is problematic to store the "secondary program
  loader" (SPL) statically. Also, due to bit-flips it may become
  corrupted over time. UBI allows to solve this problem gracefully by
  storing the SPL in a small static UBI volume.

UBI volumes vs. static partitions

  UBI volumes are still very similar to static MTD partitions:

    * both consist of eraseblocks (logical eraseblocks in case of UBI
      volumes, and physical eraseblocks in case of static partitions;
    * both support three basic operations - read, write, erase.

  But UBI volumes have the following advantages over traditional
  static MTD partitions:

    * there are no eraseblock wear-leveling constraints in case of UBI
      volumes, so the user should not care about this;
    * there are no bit-flips and bad eraseblocks in case of UBI volumes.

  So, UBI volumes may be considered as flash devices with relaxed
  restrictions.

Where can it be found?

  Documentation, kernel code and applications can be found in the MTD
  gits.

What are the applications for?

  The applications help to create binary flash images for two purposes: pfi
  files (partial flash images) for in-system update of UBI volumes, and plain
  binary images, with or without OOB data in case of NAND, for a manufacturing
  step. Furthermore some tools are/and will be created that allow flash content
  analysis after a system has crashed..

Who did UBI?

  The original ideas, where UBI is based on, were developed by Andreas
  Arnez, Frank Haverkamp and Thomas Gleixner. Josh W. Boyer and some others
  were involved too. The implementation of the kernel layer was done by Artem
  B. Bityutskiy. The user-space applications and tools were written by Oliver
  Lohmann with contributions from Frank Haverkamp, Andreas Arnez, and Artem.
  Joern Engel contributed a patch which modifies JFFS2 so that it can be run on
  a UBI volume. Thomas Gleixner did modifications to the NAND layer. Alexander
  Schmidt made some testing work as well as core functionality improvements.

David Howells 9361401eb7 [PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6]
Make it possible to disable the block layer.  Not all embedded devices require
it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require
the block layer to be present.

This patch does the following:

 (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev
     support.

 (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls
     an item that uses the block layer.  This includes:

     (*) Block I/O tracing.

     (*) Disk partition code.

     (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS.

     (*) The SCSI layer.  As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the
     	 block layer to do scheduling.  Some drivers that use SCSI facilities -
     	 such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this.

     (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM
     	 drivers.

     (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.

     (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by
     	 taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book.

 (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and
     linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set.  sector_div() is,
     however, still used in places, and so is still available.

 (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and
     parts of linux/fs.h.

 (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK
     is not enabled.

 (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are
     required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:

     (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).

 (*) Makes some /proc changes:

     (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.

     (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if
     given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.

 (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if
     CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined.  This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.

 (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return
     error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so).

 (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if
     CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.
