Mike Waychison 76b53f7c8b efivars: Split out variable registration
In anticipation of re-using the variable facilities in efivars from
elsewhere, split out the registration and unregistration of struct
efivars from the rest of the EFI specific sysfs code.

Mike Waychison 4142ef146a efivars: parameterize efivars
Now that we all global variable state is encapsulated by struct efivars,
parameterize all functions to the efivars local to the control flow rather
than at file scope.  We do this by removing the variable "efivars" at file
scope and move its storage down to the end of the file.

Variables get at efivars by storing the efivars pointer within each
efivar_entry.  The "new_var" and "del_var" binary attribute files get at
the efivars through the private pointer.

Pratheesh Gangadhar f1a304e794 UIO: add PRUSS UIO driver support
This patch implements PRUSS (Programmable Real-time Unit Sub System)
UIO driver which exports SOC resources associated with PRUSS like
I/O, memories and IRQs to user space. PRUSS is dual 32-bit RISC
processors which is efficient in performing embedded tasks that
require manipulation of packed memory mapped data structures and
handling system events that have tight real time constraints. This
driver is currently supported on Texas Instruments DA850, AM18xx and
OMAP-L138 devices.
For example, PRUSS runs firmware for real-time critical industrial
communication data link layer and communicates with application stack
running in user space via shared memory and IRQs.

Mike Waychison 66245ad025 firmware: Fix unaligned memory accesses in dmi-sysfs
DMI entries are arranged in memory back to back with no alignment
guarantees. This means that the struct dmi_header passed to callbacks
from dmi_walk() itself isn't byte aligned.  This causes problems on
architectures that expect aligned data, such as IA64.

The dmi-sysfs patchset introduced structure member accesses through this
passed in dmi_header.  Fix this by memcpy()ing the structures to
temporary locations on stack when inspecting/copying them.

Mike Waychison 948af1f0bb firmware: Basic dmi-sysfs support
Introduce a new module "dmi-sysfs" that exports the broken out entries
of the DMI table through sysfs.

Entries are enumerated via dmi_walk() on module load, and are populated
as kobjects rooted at /sys/firmware/dmi/entries.

Entries are named "<type>-<instance>", where:
   <type>	: is the type of the entry, and
   <instance>	: is the ordinal count within the DMI table of that
		  entry type.  This instance is used in lieu the DMI
		  entry's handle as no assurances are made by the kernel
		  that handles are unique.

All entries export the following attributes:
   length	: The length of the formatted portion of the entry
   handle	: The handle given to this entry by the firmware
   raw		: The raw bytes of the entire entry, including the
		  formatted portion, the unformatted (strings) portion,
		  and the two terminating nul characters.
   type		: The DMI entry type
   instance	: The ordinal instance of this entry given its type.
   position	: The position ordinal of the entry within the table in
		  its entirety.

Entries in dmi-sysfs are kobject backed members called "struct
dmi_sysfs_entry" and belong to dmi_kset.  They are threaded through
entry_list (protected by entry_list_lock) so that we can find them at
cleanup time.

In these cases, only few very essential commands would have

So now the driver would wait for a command complete event, only
when it comes across a wait event during firmware parsing.
This would also mean we need to skip not just the change baud
rate command but also the wait for it.

Nathan Fontenot 6add7cd618 memory hotplug: sysfs probe routine should add all memory sections
As a follow-on to the recent patches I submitted that allowed for a sysfs
memory block to span multiple memory sections, we should also update the
probe routine to online all of the memory sections in a memory block.  Without
this patch the current code will only add a single memory section.  I think
the probe routine should add all of the memory sections in the specified memory
block so that its behavior is in line with memory hotplug actions through
the sysfs interfaces.

This patch applies on top of the previous sysfs memory updates to allow
a sysfs directory o span multiple memory sections.

Nathan Fontenot d33601644c memory hotplug: Update phys_index to [start|end]_section_nr
Update the 'phys_index' property of a the memory_block struct to be
called start_section_nr, and add a end_section_nr property.  The
data tracked here is the same but the updated naming is more in line
with what is stored here, namely the first and last section number
that the memory block spans.

The names presented to userspace remain the same, phys_index for
start_section_nr and end_phys_index for end_section_nr, to avoid breaking
anything in userspace.

This also updates the node sysfs code to be aware of the new capability for
a memory block to contain multiple memory sections and be aware of the memory
block structure name changes (start_section_nr).  This requires an additional
parameter to unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes so that we know which memory
section of the memory block to unregister.

considered a memory block that can span multiple memory sections per

to maintain the current behavior of having a single memory section per

For architectures that want to have memory blocks span multiple
