This driver is a logical device which provides an
interface between the hypervisor and a management
partition. This interface is like a message
passing interface. This management partition
is intended to provide an alternative to HMC-based
system management.
VMC enables the Management LPAR to provide basic
logical partition functions:
- Logical Partition Configuration
- Boot, start, and stop actions for individual
partitions
- Display of partition status
- Management of virtual Ethernet
- Management of virtual Storage
- Basic system management
This driver is to be used for the POWER Virtual
Management Channel Virtual Adapter on the PowerPC
platform. It provides a character device which
allows for both request/response and async message
support through the /dev/ibmvmc node.

Highlights:
- Enable support for memory protection keys aka "pkeys" on Power7/8/9 when
using the hash table MMU.
- Extend our interrupt soft masking to support masking PMU interrupts as well
as "normal" interrupts, and then use that to implement local_t for a ~4x
speedup vs the current atomics-based implementation.
- A new driver "ocxl" for "Open Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface
(OpenCAPI)" devices.
- Support for new device tree properties on PowerVM to describe hotpluggable
memory and devices.
- Add support for CLOCK_{REALTIME/MONOTONIC}_COARSE to the 64-bit VDSO.
- Freescale updates from Scott:
"Contains fixes for CPM GPIO and an FSL PCI erratum workaround, plus a
minor cleanup patch."
As well as quite a lot of other changes all over the place, and small fixes and
cleanups as always.

The Texas Instruments DAC7512 has the exact same pinout, programming
interface and power-down modes as the Texas Instruments DAC121S101 and
Analog Devices AD5320, which are already supported by the IIO driver
ad5446.c. Remove the duplicate misc driver.
This requires user space to migrate to the standardized IIO sysfs ABI.
(In other words, it needs to change a filename.)
The IIO driver supports the chip's features more fully, e.g. the ability
to power down the output or choose one of the available powerdown modes.
There is an oddity with the misc driver in that it initializes the SPI
slave to SPI_MODE_0, in contradiction to the datasheet which specifies
that data is latched in on the falling edge, implying that SPI_MODE_1
or SPI_MODE_2 must be used. Another oddity is that Kconfig and the
MODULE_DESCRIPTION() claim the chip has 16-bit resolution although it
actually has 12-bit.

This is typically used to monitor BIOS boot progress by listening
to well-known debug port 80h.
The functionality in this commit just saves all snooped values
to a circular 2K buffer in the kernel, subsequent commits can
act on the values to do things with them.

Extract the character LCD core from the Parallel port LCD/Keypad Panel
driver in the misc subsystem, and convert it into a subdriver in the
auxdisplay subsystem. This allows the character LCD core to be used by
other drivers later.
Compilation is controlled by its own Kconfig symbol CHARLCD, which is to
be selected by its users, but can be enabled manually for
compile-testing.
All functions changed their prefix from "lcd_" to "charlcd_", and gained
a "struct charlcd *" parameter to operate on a specific instance.
While the driver API thus is ready to support multiple instances, the
current limitation of a single display (/dev/lcd has a single misc minor
assigned) is retained.
No functional changes intended.

In order to manage server systems, there is typically another processor
known as a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) which is responsible
for powering the server and other various elements, sometimes fans,
often the system flash.
The Aspeed BMC family which is what is used on OpenPOWER machines and a
number of x86 as well is typically connected to the host via an LPC
(Low Pin Count) bus (among others).
The LPC bus is an ISA bus on steroids. It's generally used by the
BMC chip to provide the host with access to the system flash (via MEM/FW
cycles) that contains the BIOS or other host firmware along with a
number of SuperIO-style IOs (via IO space) such as UARTs, IPMI
controllers.
On the BMC chip side, this is all configured via a bunch of registers
whose content is related to a given policy of what devices are exposed
at a per system level, which is system/vendor specific, so we don't want
to bolt that into the BMC kernel. This started with a need to provide
something nicer than /dev/mem for user space to configure these things.
One important aspect of the configuration is how the MEM/FW space is
exposed to the host (ie, the x86 or POWER). Some registers in that
bridge can define a window remapping all or portion of the LPC MEM/FW
space to a portion of the BMC internal bus, with no specific limits
imposed in HW.
I think it makes sense to ensure that this window is configured by a
kernel driver that can apply some serious sanity checks on what it is
configured to map.
In practice, user space wants to control this by flipping the mapping
between essentially two types of portions of the BMC address space:
- The flash space. This is a region of the BMC MMIO space that
more/less directly maps the system flash (at least for reads, writes
are somewhat more complicated).
- One (or more) reserved area(s) of the BMC physical memory.
The latter is needed for a number of things, such as avoiding letting
the host manipulate the innards of the BMC flash controller via some
evil backdoor, we want to do flash updates by routing the window to a
portion of memory (under control of a mailbox protocol via some
separate set of registers) which the host can use to write new data in
bulk and then request the BMC to flash it. There are other uses, such
as allowing the host to boot from an in-memory flash image rather than
the one in flash (very handy for continuous integration and test, the
BMC can just download new images).
It is important to note that due to the way the Aspeed chip lets the
kernel configure the mapping between host LPC addresses and BMC ram
addresses the offset within the window must be a multiple of size.
Not doing so will fragment the accessible space rather than simply
moving 'zero' upwards. This is caused by the nature of HICR8 being a
mask and the way host LPC addresses are translated.

Introduce a new "protect-exec" reserved sram area type which is
makes use of the the existing functionality provided for the "pool"
sram region type for use with the genalloc framework and with the
added requirement that it be maintained as read-only and executable
while allowing for an arbitrary number of drivers to share the space.
This introduces a common way to maintain a region of sram as read-only
and executable and also introduces a helper function, sram_exec_copy,
which allows for copying data to this protected region while maintaining
locking to avoid conflicts between multiple users of the same space. A
region of memory that is marked with the "protect-exec" flag in the
device tree also has the requirement of providing a page aligned block
of memory so that the page attribute manipulation does not affect
surrounding regions.
Also, selectively enable this only for builds that support set_memory_*
calls, for now just ARM, through the use of Kconfig.

This adds the base cxl support that cannot be built as a module. Specifically
it adds the cxl callbacks that are called from the core powerpc mm code which
must always exist irrespective of if the cxl module is loaded or not. This is
similar to how cell works with CONFIG_SPU_BASE.
This adds a cxl_slbia() call (similar to spu_flush_all_slbs()) which checks if
the cxl module is loaded and in use, returning immediately if it is not. If it
is in use it calls into the cxl SLB invalidation code.

These symbols are chosen instead of the SOC_* ones because this driver is not

This patch - finally, after over 6 months! :-( - addresses
Samuel's request to split the vexpress-sysreg driver into
smaller portions and define the device in a form of MFD
cells:
* LEDs code has been completely removed and replaced with
"gpio-leds" nodes in the tree (referencing dedicated
GPIO subnodes in sysreg - bindings documentation updated);
this also better fits the reality as some variants of the
motherboard don't have all the LEDs populated
* syscfg bridge code has been extracted into a separate
driver (placed in drivers/misc for no better place)
* all the ID & MISC registers are defined as sysconf
making them available for other drivers should they need
to use them (and also to the user via /sys/kernel/debug/regmap
which can be helpful in platform debugging)

Some drivers can be built on more platforms than they run on. This is
a burden for users and distributors who package a kernel. They have to
manually deselect some (for them useless) drivers when updating their
configs via oldconfig. And yet, sometimes it is even impossible to
disable the drivers without patching the kernel.
Introduce a new config option COMPILE_TEST and make all those drivers
to depend on the platform they run on, or on the COMPILE_TEST option.
Now, when users/distributors choose COMPILE_TEST=n they will not have
the drivers in their allmodconfig setups, but developers still can
compile-test them with COMPILE_TEST=y.
Now the drivers where we use this new option:
* PTP_1588_CLOCK_PCH: The PCH EG20T is only compatible with Intel Atom
processors so it should depend on x86.
* FB_GEODE: Geode is 32-bit only so only enable it for X86_32.
* USB_CHIPIDEA_IMX: The OF_DEVICE dependency will be met on powerpc
systems -- which do not actually support the hardware via that
method.
* INTEL_MID_PTI: It is specific to the Penwell type of Intel Atom
device.
[v2]
* remove EXPERT dependency
