This patch add cx23885 support for card "Mygica X8506 DMB-TH".
It should work on "Magic-Pro ProHDTV Extreme" as well, as they are
same hardware with different branding.

Change kmalloc()/kfree() to vmalloc()/vfree() for sglist allocation
during videobuf_dma_map() and videobuf_dma_unmap()
High resolution sensors might require too many contiguous pages
to be allocated for sglist by kmalloc() during videobuf_dma_map()
(i.e. 256Kib for 8MP sensor).
In such situations, kmalloc() could face some problem to find the
required free memory. vmalloc() is a safer solution instead, as the
allocated memory does not need to be contiguous.

Many developers use "/debug/" or "/debugfs/" or "/sys/kernel/debug/"
directory name to mount debugfs filesystem for ftrace according to

And, three directory names(ex:/debug/, /debugfs/, /sys/kernel/debug/) is
existed in kernel source like ftrace, DRM, Wireless, Documentation,
Network[sky2]files to mount debugfs filesystem.
debugfs means debug filesystem for debugging easy to use by greg kroah

Enhance the inode allocator to take a goal inode number as a
paremeter; if it is specified, it takes precedence over Orlov or
parent directory inode allocation algorithms.
The extents migration function uses the goal inode number so that the
extent trees allocated the migration function use the correct flex_bg.
In the future, the goal inode functionality will also be used to
allocate an adjacent inode for the extended attributes.
Also, for testing purposes the goal inode number can be specified via
/sys/fs/{dev}/inode_goal. This can be useful for testing inode
allocation beyond 2^32 blocks on very large filesystems.

There is sometimes a need for the ocores driver to add devices to the
bus when installed.
i2c_register_board_info can not always be used, because the I2C devices
are not known at an early state, they could for instance be connected
on a I2C bus on a PCI device which has the Open Cores IP.
i2c_new_device can not be used in all cases either since the resulting
bus nummer might be unknown.
The solution is the pass a list of I2C devices in the platform data to
the Open Cores driver. This is useful for MFD drivers.

Attached is the ELS/CT pass-thru patch for the FC Transport. The patch
creates a generic framework that lays on top of bsg and the SGIO v4 ioctl
in order to pass transaction requests to LLDD's.
The interface supports the following operations:
On an fc_host basis:
Request login to the specified N_Port_ID, creating an fc_rport.
Request logout of the specified N_Port_ID, deleting an fc_rport
Send ELS request to specified N_Port_ID w/o requiring a login, and
wait for ELS response.
Send CT request to specified N_Port_ID and wait for CT response.
Login is required, but LLDD is allowed to manage login and decide
whether it stays in place after the request is satisfied.
Vendor-Unique request. Allows a LLDD-specific request to be passed
to the LLDD, and the passing of a response back to the application.
On an fc_rport basis:
Send ELS request to nport and wait for ELS response.
Send CT request to nport and wait for CT response.
The patch also exports several headers from include/scsi such that
they can be available to user-space applications:
include/scsi/scsi.h
include/scsi/scsi_netlink.h
include/scsi/scsi_netlink_fc.h
include/scsi/scsi_bsg_fc.h
For further information, refer to the last RFC:

The Guest only really needs to tell us about activity when we're going
to listen to the eventfd: normally, we don't want to know.
So if there are no available buffers, turn on notifications, re-check,
then wait for the Guest to notify us via the eventfd, then turn
notifications off again.
There's enough else going on that the differences are in the noise.

Rather than triggering an interrupt every time, we only trigger an
interrupt when there are no more incoming packets (or the recv queue
is full).
However, the overhead of doing the select to figure this out is
measurable: 1M pings goes from 98 to 104 seconds, and 1G Guest->Host
TCP goes from 3.69 to 3.94 seconds. It's close to the noise though.
I tested various timeouts, including reducing it as the number of
pending packets increased, timing a 1 gigabyte TCP send from Guest ->
Host and Host -> Guest (GSO disabled, to increase packet rate).

Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
If we track how many buffers we've used, we can tell whether we really
need to interrupt the Guest. This happens as a side effect of
spurious notifications.
Spurious notifications happen because it can take a while before the
Host thread wakes up and sets the VRING_USED_F_NO_NOTIFY flag, and
meanwhile the Guest can more notifications.
A real fix would be to use wake counts, rather than a suppression
flag, but the practical difference is generally in the noise: the
interrupt is usually coalesced into a pending one anyway so we just
save a system call which isn't clearly measurable.

Rather than sending an interrupt on every buffer, we only send an interrupt
when we're about to wait for the Guest to send us a new one. The console
input and network input still send interrupts manually, but the block device,
network and console output queues can simply rely on this logic to send
interrupts to the Guest at the right time.
The patch is cluttered by moving trigger_irq() higher in the code.
In practice, two factors make this optimization less interesting:
(1) we often only get one input at a time, even for networking,
(2) triggering an interrupt rapidly tends to get coalesced anyway.

Currently lguest has three threads: the main Launcher thread, a Waker
thread, and a thread for the block device (because synchronous block
was simply too painful to bear).
The Waker selects() on all the input file descriptors (eg. stdin, net
devices, pipe to the block thread) and when one becomes readable it calls
into the kernel to kick the Launcher thread out into userspace, which
repeats the poll, services the device(s), and then tells the kernel to
release the Waker before re-entering the kernel to run the Guest.
Also, to make a slightly-decent network transmit routine, the Launcher
would suppress further network interrupts while it set a timer: that
signal handler would write to a pipe, which would rouse the Waker
which would prod the Launcher out of the kernel to check the network
device again.
Now we can convert all our virtqueues to separate threads: each one has
a separate eventfd for when the Guest pokes the device, and can trigger
interrupts in the Guest directly.
The linecount shows how much this simplifies, but to really bring it
home, here's an strace analysis of single Guest->Host ping before:
* Guest sends packet, notifies xmit vq, return control to Launcher
* Launcher clears notification flag on xmit ring
* Launcher writes packet to TUN device
writev(4, [{"\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 10}, {"\366\r\224`\2058\272m\224vf\274\10\0E\0\0T\0\0@\0@\1\265"..., 98}], 2) = 108

* Launcher sets up timer for interrupt mitigation

* Launcher re-runs guest
pread64(10, 0xbfa5f4d4, 4, 0) ...
* Waker notices reply packet in tun device (it was in select)
select(12, [0 3 4 6 11], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [4])
* Waker kicks Launcher out of guest:
pwrite64(10, "\3\0\0\0\1\0\0\0", 8, 0) = 0
* Launcher returns from running guest:
... = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
* Launcher looks at input fds:
select(7, [0 3 4 6], NULL, NULL, {0, 0}) = 1 (in [4], left {0, 0})
* Launcher reads pong from tun device:
readv(4, [{"\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 10}, {"\272m\224vf\274\366\r\224`\2058\10\0E\0\0T\364\26\0\0@"..., 1518}], 2) = 108
* Launcher injects guest notification:
write(10, "\2\0\0\0\2\0\0\0", 8) = 0
* Launcher rechecks fds:
select(7, [0 3 4 6], NULL, NULL, {0, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
* Launcher clears Waker:
pwrite64(10, "\3\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8, 0) = 0
* Launcher reruns Guest:
pread64(10, 0xbfa5f4d4, 4, 0) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted)
* Signal comes in, uses pipe to wake up Launcher:
--- SIGALRM (Alarm clock) @ 0 (0) ---
write(8, "\0", 1) = 1
sigreturn() = ? (mask now [])
* Waker sees write on pipe:
select(12, [0 3 4 6 11], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [6])
* Waker kicks Launcher out of Guest:
pwrite64(10, "\3\0\0\0\1\0\0\0", 8, 0) = 0
* Launcher exits from kernel:
pread64(10, 0xbfa5f4d4, 4, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
* Launcher looks to see what fd woke it:
select(7, [0 3 4 6], NULL, NULL, {0, 0}) = 1 (in [6], left {0, 0})
* Launcher reads timeout fd, sets notification flag on xmit ring
read(6, "\0", 32) = 1
* Launcher rechecks fds:
select(7, [0 3 4 6], NULL, NULL, {0, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
* Launcher clears Waker:
pwrite64(10, "\3\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8, 0) = 0
* Launcher resumes Guest:

The "len" field in the used ring for virtio indicates the number of
bytes *written* to the buffer. This means the guest doesn't have to
zero the buffers in advance as it always knows the used length.
Erroneously, the console and network example code puts the length
*read* into that field. The guest ignores it, but it's wrong.

2088761152 (lguest: notify on empty) introduced
lguest support for the VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY flag, but in fact it turned on
interrupts all the time.
Because we always process one buffer at a time, the inflight count is always 0
when call trigger_irq and so we always ignore VRING_AVAIL_F_NO_INTERRUPT from
the Guest.
It should be looking to see if there are more buffers in the Guest's queue:
if it's empty, then we force an interrupt.
This makes little difference, since we usually have an empty queue; but
that's the subject of another patch.

We can't trust the values in the device descriptor table once the
guest has booted, so keep local copies. They could set them to
strange values then cause us to segv (they're 8 bit values, so they
can't make our pointers go too wild).
This becomes more important with the following patches which read them.

Commit b00055aacd " [NET] core: add
RFC2863 operstate" defined new interface flag values. Its
documentation specified that these flags could be accessed from user
space via SIOCGIFFLAGS. However, this does not work because the new
flags do not fit in that ioctl's argument width.
Change the documentation to match the code's behavior. Also change
the source to explicitly show the truncation. This _should_ have no
effect on executable code, and did not with gcc 4.2.4 generating x86
code.
A new ioctl could be defined to return all interface flags to user
space. However, since this has been broken for three years with no
one complaining, there doesn't seem much need. They are still
accessible via netlink.

Adds support for PCI Express transaction layer end-to-end CRC checking
(ECRC). This patch will enable/disable ECRC checking by setting/clearing
the ECRC Check Enable and/or ECRC Generation Enable bits for devices that
support ECRC.
The ECRC setting is controlled by the "pci=ecrc=<policy>" command-line
option. If this option is not set or is set to 'bios", the enable and
generation bits are left in whatever state that firmware/BIOS set them to.
The "off" setting turns them off, and the "on" option turns them on (if the
device supports it).
Turning ECRC on or off can be a data integrity versus performance
tradeoff. In theory, turning it on will catch more data errors, turning
it off means possibly better performance since CRC does not need to be
calculated by the PCIe hardware and packet sizes are reduced.

This patch introduces three boot options (no_cmci, dont_log_ce
and ignore_ce) to control handling for corrected errors.
The "mce=no_cmci" boot option disables the CMCI feature.
Since CMCI is a new feature so having boot controls to disable
it will be a help if the hardware is misbehaving.
The "mce=dont_log_ce" boot option disables logging for corrected
errors. All reported corrected errors will be cleared silently.
This option will be useful if you never care about corrected
errors.
The "mce=ignore_ce" boot option disables features for corrected
errors, i.e. polling timer and cmci. All corrected events are
not cleared and kept in bank MSRs.
Usually this disablement is not recommended, however it will be
a help if there are some conflict with the BIOS or hardware
monitoring applications etc., that clears corrected events in
banks instead of OS.

From the perspective of most users of recent systems, disabling Host
Protected Area (HPA) can break vendor RAID formats, GPT partitions and
risks corrupting firmware or overwriting vendor system recovery tools.
Unfortunately the original (kernels < 2.6.30) behavior (unconditionally
disabling HPA and using full disk capacity) was introduced at the time
when the main use of HPA was to make the drive look small enough for the
BIOS to allow the system to boot with large capacity drives.
Thus to allow the maximum compatibility with the existing setups (using
HPA and partitioned with HPA disabled) we automically disable HPA if
any partitions overlapping HPA are detected. Additionally HPA can also
be disabled using the "nohpa" module parameter (i.e. "ide_core.nohpa=0.0"
to disable HPA on /dev/hda).
v2:
Fix ->resume HPA support.

On Intel platforms machine check exceptions are always broadcast to
all CPUs. This patch makes the machine check handler synchronize all
these machine checks, elect a Monarch to handle the event and collect
the worst event from all CPUs and then process it first.
This has some advantages:
- When there is a truly data corrupting error the system panics as
quickly as possible. This improves containment of corrupted
data and makes sure the corrupted data never hits stable storage.
- The panics are synchronized and do not reenter the panic code
on multiple CPUs (which currently does not handle this well).
- All the errors are reported. Currently it often happens that
another CPU happens to do the panic first, but reports useless
information (empty machine check) because the real error
happened on another CPU which came in later.
This is a big advantage on Nehalem where the 8 threads per CPU
lead to often the wrong CPU winning the race and dumping
useless information on a machine check. The problem also occurs
in a less severe form on older CPUs.
- The system can detect when no CPUs detected a machine check
and shut down the system. This can happen when one CPU is so
badly hung that that it cannot process a machine check anymore
or when some external agent wants to stop the system by
asserting the machine check pin. This follows Intel hardware
recommendations.
- This matches the recommended error model by the CPU designers.
- The events can be output in true severity order
- When a panic happens on another CPU it makes sure to be actually
be able to process the stop IPI by enabling interrupts.
The code is extremly careful to handle timeouts while waiting
for other CPUs. It can't rely on the normal timing mechanisms
(jiffies, ktime_get) because of its asynchronous/lockless nature,
so it uses own timeouts using ndelay() and a "SPINUNIT"
The timeout is configurable. By default it waits for upto one
second for the other CPUs. This can be also disabled.
From some informal testing AMD systems do not see to broadcast
machine checks, so right now it's always disabled by default on
non Intel CPUs or also on very old Intel systems.

The new code added by this patch will make rfkill create
a misc character device /dev/rfkill that userspace can use
to control rfkill soft blocks and get status of devices as
well as events when the status changes.
Using it is very simple -- when you open it you can read
a number of times to get the initial state, and every
further read blocks (you can poll) on getting the next
event from the kernel. The same structure you read is
also used when writing to it to change the soft block of
a given device, all devices of a given type, or all
devices.
This also makes CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT selectable again in
order to be able to test without it present since its
functionality can now be replaced by userspace entirely
and distros and users may not want the input part of
rfkill interfering with their userspace code. We will
also write a userspace daemon to handle all that and
consequently add the input code to the feature removal
schedule.
In order to have rfkilld support both kernels with and
without CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT (or new kernels after its
eventual removal) we also add an ioctl (that only exists
if rfkill-input is present) to disable rfkill-input.
It is not very efficient, but at least gives the correct
behaviour in all cases.

This patch completely rewrites the rfkill core to address
the following deficiencies:
* all rfkill drivers need to implement polling where necessary
rather than having one central implementation
* updating the rfkill state cannot be done from arbitrary
contexts, forcing drivers to use schedule_work and requiring
lots of code
* rfkill drivers need to keep track of soft/hard blocked
internally -- the core should do this
* the rfkill API has many unexpected quirks, for example being
asymmetric wrt. alloc/free and register/unregister
* rfkill can call back into a driver from within a function the
driver called -- this is prone to deadlocks and generally
should be avoided
* rfkill-input pointlessly is a separate module
* drivers need to #ifdef rfkill functions (unless they want to
depend on or select RFKILL) -- rfkill should provide inlines
that do nothing if it isn't compiled in
* the rfkill structure is not opaque -- drivers need to initialise
it correctly (lots of sanity checking code required) -- instead
force drivers to pass the right variables to rfkill_alloc()
* the documentation is hard to read because it always assumes the
reader is completely clueless and contains way TOO MANY CAPS
* the rfkill code needlessly uses a lot of locks and atomic
operations in locked sections
* fix LED trigger to actually change the LED when the radio state
changes -- this wasn't done before

Short story: this laptop has 5.1 built-in speakers which you *really*
want to use (the not-so-"sub" woofer is what makes the audio above
average for a laptop), so 6-channel support is important (plus a decent
asound.conf to upmix stereo). It also has the 3 typical jacks that ought
to have a selectable mode. And it's based on ALC889, which sucks.
Rationale/explanations:
The const_channel_count stuff was added because, for a laptop like this,
you always have 6 channels available (internal speakers) but still need
to set the mode for the 3 external jacks. Therefore, the device always
needs to be in 6-channel mode but there still needs to be a mixer
control for the jack mode. You could use line/mic-in at the same time as
the 6 internal speakers, for example. You might be tempted to make it
even smarter by dynamically switching the max channel count when
headphones are plugged in (therefore muting the internal speakers and
reducing the physical channel count to the jack channel mode), but as a
user I consider this to be harmful because I want the audio to blow up
to 6 channels / upmixed as soon as I unplug the headphones, and having
opened the device while in 2-channel mode would prevent this from
working (and always making 6-channel mode available doesn't do any harm).
The hardware needs EAPD turned on and the DACs routed to the internal
speaker pins, so the patch adds those verbs.
The ALC889 CLFE and subsequent (side/aux, here unused) DACs do NOT work
by default, at least here. I wasted much time trying to talk to
Realtek/pshou about this, but they just kept sending me useless updates
to patch_realtek.c that did nothing relevant. In the end I gave up and
brute forced the issue by trying to flip every bit in the proprietary
coefficient registers, and eventually found the two magic registers that
need to be cleared to enable all DACs. I have only heard Acer users
complain, but that might be because ALC889 is pretty new and using 5.1
(and noticing the missing center/lfe channels) might not be that common.
If this is a generalized issue with all ALC889 systems then those verbs
should probably be moved to a common verb array.
The internal mic is untested and probably doesn't work.
These settings will probably work for other Acer Gemstone laptops with
the same 5.1 speaker config. When identified, those should be added to
the PCI subsystem ID list.

When using ftrace=function on the command line to trace functions
on boot up, one can not filter out functions that are commonly called.
This patch adds two new ftrace command line commands.
ftrace_notrace=function-list
ftrace_filter=function-list
Where function-list is a comma separated list of functions to filter.
The ftrace_notrace will make the functions listed not be included
in the function tracing, and ftrace_filter will only trace the functions
listed.
These two act the same as the debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_notrace and
debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter respectively.
The simple glob expressions that are allowed by the filter files can also
be used by the command line interface.
ftrace_notrace=rcu*,*lock,*spin*
Will not trace any function that starts with rcu, ends with lock, or has
the word spin in it.
Note, if the self tests are enabled, they may interfere with the filtering
set by the command lines.

To support devices with physical block sizes bigger than 512 bytes we
need to ensure proper alignment. This patch adds support for exposing
I/O topology characteristics as devices are stacked.
logical_block_size is the smallest unit the device can address.
physical_block_size indicates the smallest I/O the device can write
without incurring a read-modify-write penalty.
The io_min parameter is the smallest preferred I/O size reported by
the device. In many cases this is the same as the physical block
size. However, the io_min parameter can be scaled up when stacking
(RAID5 chunk size > physical block size).
The io_opt characteristic indicates the optimal I/O size reported by
the device. This is usually the stripe width for arrays.
The alignment_offset parameter indicates the number of bytes the start
of the device/partition is offset from the device's natural alignment.
Partition tools and MD/DM utilities can use this to pad their offsets
so filesystems start on proper boundaries.

The IMA TCB policy is dangerous. A normal use can use all of a system's
memory (which cannot be freed) simply by building and running lots of
executables. The TCB policy is also nearly useless because logging in as root
often causes a policy violation when dealing with utmp, thus rendering the
measurements meaningless.
There is no good fix for this in the kernel. A full TCB policy would need to
be loaded in userspace using LSM rule matching to get both a protected and
useful system. But, if too little is measured before userspace can load a real
policy one again ends up with a meaningless set of measurements. One option
would be to put the policy load inside the initrd in order to get it early
enough in the boot sequence to be useful, but this runs into trouble with the
LSM. For IMA to measure the LSM policy and the LSM policy loading mechanism
it needs rules to do so, but we already talked about problems with defaulting
to such broad rules....
IMA also depends on the files being measured to be on an FS which implements
and supports i_version. Since the only FS with this support (ext4) doesn't
even use it by default it seems silly to have any IMA rules by default.
This should reduce the performance overhead of IMA to near 0 while still
letting users who choose to configure their machine as such to inclue the
ima_tcb kernel paramenter and get measurements during boot before they can
load a customized, reasonable policy in userspace.

Updated the binding spec to use "fsl,eshdc" as the base compatible
rather than the first chip in the family.

The latest QE chip may have more Serial Number(SNUM)s of thread to use. We
will get the number of SNUMs from device tree by reading the new property
"fsl,qe-num-snums", and set 28 as the default number of SNUMs so that it is
compatible with the old QE chips' device trees which don't have this new
property. The macro QE_NUM_OF_SNUM is defined as the maximum number in QE
snum table which is 256.
Also we update the snum_init[] array with 18 more new SNUMs which are
confirmed to be useful on new chip.

New packet socket feature that makes packet socket more efficient for
transmission.
- It reduces number of system call through a PACKET_TX_RING mechanism,
based on PACKET_RX_RING (Circular buffer allocated in kernel space
which is mmapped from user space).
- It minimizes CPU copy using fragmented SKB (almost zero copy).

This patch adds support for MacBook 3,1 sound by adding a model new
"mb31" with the appropriate init verbs, mixers and channel modes to
the ALC883 configuration. patch_alc882() and patch_alc883() are
modified to handle the MacBook 3,1 sound-chip (Realtek ALC889A)
correctly.

| x86: 64-bit, make sparsemem vmemmap the only memory model
we don't have MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE anymore.
Historically, x86-64 had an architecture-specific method for memory hotplug
whereby it scanned the SRAT for physical memory ranges that could be
potentially used for memory hot-add later. By reserving those ranges
without physical memory, the memmap would be allocated and left dormant
until needed. This depended on the DISCONTIG memory model which has been
removed so the code implementing HOTPLUG_RESERVE is now dead.
This patch removes the dead code used by MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE.
