Pull late ARM soc platform updates from Olof Johansson: "This branch contains updates to OMAP and Marvell platforms (kirkwood, dove, mvebu) that came in after we had done the big multiplatform merges, so they were kept separate from the rest, and not separated into the traditional topics of cleanup/driver/platform features. For OMAP, the updates are: - Runtime PM conversions for the GPMC and RNG IP blocks - Preparation patches for the OMAP common clock framework conversion - clkdev alias additions required by other drivers - Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU) support for OMAP2, 3, and non-4430 OMAP4 - OMAP hwmod code and data improvements - Preparation patches for the IOMMU runtime PM conversion - Preparation patches for OMAP4 full-chip retention support For Kirkwood/Dove/mvebu: - New driver for "address decoder controller" for mvebu, which is a piece of hardware that configures addressable devices and peripherals. First user is the boot rom aperture on armada XP since it is needed for SMP support. - New device tree bindings for peripherals such as gpio-fan, iconnect nand, mv_cesa and the above address decoder controller. - Some defconfig updates, mostly to enable new DT boards and a few drivers. - New drivers using the pincontrol subsystem for dove, kirkwood and mvebu - New clean gpio driver for mvebu" * tag 'soc-late' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: (98 commits) ARM: mvebu: fix build breaks from multi-platform conversion ARM: OMAP4460/4470: PMU: Enable PMU for OMAP4460/70 ARM: OMAP2+: PMU: Add runtime PM support ARM: OMAP4430: PMU: prepare to create PMU device via HWMOD ARM: OMAP2+: PMU: Convert OMAP2/3 devices to use HWMOD ARM: OMAP3: hwmod data: Add debugss HWMOD data ARM: OMAP2+: clockdomain/hwmod: add workaround for EMU clockdomain idle problems ARM: OMAP: Add a timer attribute for timers that can interrupt the DSP hwrng: OMAP: remove SoC restrictions from driver registration ARM: OMAP: split OMAP1, OMAP2+ RNG device registration hwrng: OMAP: convert to use runtime PM hwrng: OMAP: store per-device data in per-device variables, not file statics ARM: OMAP2xxx: hwmod/CM: add RNG integration data ARM: OMAP2+: gpmc: minimal driver support ARM: OMAP2+: gpmc: Adapt to HWMOD ARM: OMAP2/3: hwmod data: add gpmc ARM: OMAP4: hwmod data: add mmu hwmod for ipu and dsp ARM: OMAP3: hwmod data: add mmu data for iva and isp ARM: OMAP: iommu: fix including iommu.h without IOMMU_API selected ARM: OMAP4: hwmod data: add missing HWMOD_NO_IDLEST flags to some PRCM IP blocks ...

Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab: "The first part of the media updates for Kernel 3.7. This series contain: - A major tree renaming patch series: now, drivers are organized internally by their used bus, instead of by V4L2 and/or DVB API, providing a cleaner driver location for hybrid drivers that implement both APIs, and allowing to cleanup the Kconfig items and make them more intuitive for the end user; - Media Kernel developers are typically very lazy with their duties of keeping the MAINTAINERS entries for their drivers updated. As now the tree is more organized, we're doing an effort to add/update those entries for the drivers that aren't currently orphan; - Several DVB USB drivers got moved to a new DVB USB v2 core; the new core fixes several bugs (as the existing one that got bitroted). Now, suspend/resume finally started to work fine (at least with some devices - we should expect more work with regards to it); - added multistream support for DVB-T2, and unified the API for DVB-S2 and ISDB-S. Backward binary support is preserved; - as usual, a few new drivers, some V4L2 core improvements and lots of drivers improvements and fixes. There are some points to notice on this series: 1) you should expect a trivial merge conflict on your tree, with the removal of Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt: this series would be adding two additional entries there. I opted to not rebase it due to this recent change; 2) With regards to the PCTV 520e udev-related breakage, I opted to fix it in a way that the patches can be backported to 3.5 even without your firmware fix patch. This way, Greg doesn't need to rush backporting your patch (as there are still the firmware cache and firmware path customization issues to be addressed there). I'll send later a patch (likely after the end of the merge window) reverting the rest of the DRX-K async firmware request, fully restoring its original behaviour to allow media drivers to initialize everything serialized as before for 3.7 and upper. 3) I'm planning to work on this weekend to test the DMABUF patches for V4L2. The patches are on my queue for several Kernel cycles, but, up to now, there is/was no way to test the series locally. I have some concerns about this particular changeset with regards to security issues, and with regards to the replacement of the old VIDIOC_OVERLAY ioctl's that is broken on modern systems, due to GPU drivers change. The Overlay API allows direct PCI2PCI transfers from a media capture card into the GPU framebuffer, but its API is crappy. Also, the only existing X11 driver that implements it requires a XV extension that is not available anymore on modern drivers. The DMABUF can do the same thing, but with it is promising to be a properly-designed API. If I can successfully test this series and be happy with it, I should be asking you to pull them next week." * 'v4l_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media: (717 commits) em28xx: regression fix: use DRX-K sync firmware requests on em28xx drxk: allow loading firmware synchrousnously em28xx: Make all em28xx extensions to be initialized asynchronously [media] tda18271: properly report read errors in tda18271_get_id [media] tda18271: delay IR & RF calibration until init() if delay_cal is set [media] MAINTAINERS: add Michael Krufky as tda827x maintainer [media] MAINTAINERS: add Michael Krufky as tda8290 maintainer [media] MAINTAINERS: add Michael Krufky as cxusb maintainer [media] MAINTAINERS: add Michael Krufky as lg2160 maintainer [media] MAINTAINERS: add Michael Krufky as lgdt3305 maintainer [media] MAINTAINERS: add Michael Krufky as mxl111sf maintainer [media] MAINTAINERS: add Michael Krufky as mxl5007t maintainer [media] MAINTAINERS: add Michael Krufky as tda18271 maintainer [media] s5p-tv: Report only multi-plane capabilities in vidioc_querycap [media] s5p-mfc: Fix misplaced return statement in s5p_mfc_suspend() [media] exynos-gsc: Add missing static storage class specifiers [media] exynos-gsc: Remove <linux/version.h> header file inclusion [media] s5p-fimc: Fix incorrect condition in fimc_lite_reqbufs() [media] s5p-tv: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference error [media] s5k6aa: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference ...

Pull UAPI disintegration fixes from David Howells: "There are three main parts: (1) I found I needed some more fixups in the wake of testing Arm64 (some asm/unistd.h files had weird guards that caused problems - mostly in arches for which I don't have a compiler) and some __KERNEL__ splitting needed to take place in Arm64. (2) I found that c6x was missing some __KERNEL__ guards in its asm/signal.h. Mark Salter pointed me at a tree with a patch to remove that file entirely and use the asm-generic variant instead. (3) Lastly, m68k turned out to have a header installation problem due to it lacking a kvm_para.h file. The conditional installation bits for linux/kvm_para.h, linux/kvm.h and linux/a.out.h weren't very well specified - and didn't work if an arch didn't have the asm/ version of that file, but there *was* an asm-generic/ version. It seems the "ifneq $((wildcard ...),)" for each of those three headers in include/kernel/Kbuild is invoked twice during header installation, and the second time it matches on the just installed asm-generic/kvm_para.h file and thus incorrectly installs linux/kvm_para.h as well. Most arches actually have an asm/kvm_para.h, so this wasn't detectable in those." * 'uapi-prep' of git://git.infradead.org/users/dhowells/linux-headers: UAPI: Fix conditional header installation handling (notably kvm_para.h on m68k) c6x: remove c6x signal.h UAPI: Split compound conditionals containing __KERNEL__ in Arm64 UAPI: Fix the guards on various asm/unistd.h files c6x: make dsk6455 the default config

Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-3.7-arm-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen Pull ADM Xen support from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk: Features: * Allow a Linux guest to boot as initial domain and as normal guests on Xen on ARM (specifically ARMv7 with virtualized extensions). PV console, block and network frontend/backends are working. Bug-fixes: * Fix compile linux-next fallout. * Fix PVHVM bootup crashing. The Xen-unstable hypervisor (so will be 4.3 in a ~6 months), supports ARMv7 platforms. The goal in implementing this architecture is to exploit the hardware as much as possible. That means use as little as possible of PV operations (so no PV MMU) - and use existing PV drivers for I/Os (network, block, console, etc). This is similar to how PVHVM guests operate in X86 platform nowadays - except that on ARM there is no need for QEMU. The end result is that we share a lot of the generic Xen drivers and infrastructure. Details on how to compile/boot/etc are available at this Wiki: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_ARMv7_with_Virtualization_Extensions and this blog has links to a technical discussion/presentations on the overall architecture: http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2012/09/21/xensummit-sessions-new-pvh-virtualisation-mode-for-arm-cortex-a15arm-servers-and-x86/ * tag 'stable/for-linus-3.7-arm-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen: (21 commits) xen/xen_initial_domain: check that xen_start_info is initialized xen: mark xen_init_IRQ __init xen/Makefile: fix dom-y build arm: introduce a DTS for Xen unprivileged virtual machines MAINTAINERS: add myself as Xen ARM maintainer xen/arm: compile netback xen/arm: compile blkfront and blkback xen/arm: implement alloc/free_xenballooned_pages with alloc_pages/kfree xen/arm: receive Xen events on ARM xen/arm: initialize grant_table on ARM xen/arm: get privilege status xen/arm: introduce CONFIG_XEN on ARM xen: do not compile manage, balloon, pci, acpi, pcpu and cpu_hotplug on ARM xen/arm: Introduce xen_ulong_t for unsigned long xen/arm: Xen detection and shared_info page mapping docs: Xen ARM DT bindings xen/arm: empty implementation of grant_table arch specific functions xen/arm: sync_bitops xen/arm: page.h definitions xen/arm: hypercalls ...

Using a recursive call add a non-conflicting region in __reserve_region_with_split() could result in a stack overflow in the case that the recursive calls are too deep. Convert the recursive calls to an iterative loop to avoid the problem. Tested on a machine containing 135 regions. The kernel no longer panicked with stack overflow. Also tested with code arbitrarily adding regions with no conflict, embedding two consecutive conflicts and embedding two non-consecutive conflicts.

If prepare_reply() succeeds we have allocated memory for 'rep_skb'. If nla_reserve() then subsequently fails and returns NULL we fail to release the memory we allocated, thus causing a leak.

Because udev use is so widespread, making the old static mapping the default is too conservative, given the severe limitations it places on usable AoE addresses. Storage virtualization and larger shelves have made the old limitations too confining. These changes make the dynamic block device minor numbers the default, removing the limitations on usable AoE addresses. The static arrangement is still available with aoe_dyndevs=0, and the aoe-stat tool from the userland aoetools package, the user space counterpart to the aoe driver, recognizes the case where there is a mismatch between the minor number in sysfs and the minor number in a special device file.

The ATA over Ethernet protocol uses a major (shelf) and minor (slot) address to identify a particular storage target. These changes remove an artificial limitation the aoe driver imposes on the use of AoE addresses. For example, without these changes, the slot address has a maximum of 15, but users commonly use slot numbers much greater than that. The AoE shelf and slot address space is often used sparsely. Instead of using a static mapping between AoE addresses and the block device minor number, the block device minor numbers are now allocated on demand.

In the driver code, "target" and aoetgt refer to a particular remote interface on the AoE storage target. The latter is identified by its AoE major and minor addresses. Commands that are being sent to an AoE storage target {major, minor} can be sent or retransmitted to any of the remote MAC addresses associated with the AoE storage target. That is, frames are naturally associated with not an aoetgt (AoE major, AoE minor, remote MAC address) but an aoedev (AoE major, AoE minor). Making the code reflect that reality simplifies the driver, especially when the path to a remote MAC address becomes unusable.

A guard is inserted to prevent AoE minor addresses (slot addresses) higher than 15 to be used, as they are not yet supported by the driver. There is a change coming that will allow the aoe driver to overcome this limit by using system device minor numbers dynamically, but until then, this guard prevents unexpected targets from being used by the driver when AoE targets with high minor numbers are on the AoE network.

The discovery process begins with an optional AoE config query command and an AoE config query response. Normally when an aoe device is already open, the config query response does not trigger an ATA identify device command to be sent out, since the response contains storage capacity information that, if changed, could surprise the user of the device. The userland "aoe-revalidate" tool uses a character device to trigger an AoE config query for a particular AoE storage target and an ATA device identify command, even when the device is open. This change causes the config query to go out first, reflecting the normal discovery sequence. The responses could come back in any order, so this change is fairly cosmetic.

The aoe_deadsecs module parameter allows the user to specify a hard limit on the number of seconds an AoE command can be retransmitted before the AoE block device is considered to have failed. Using aoe_deadsecs to determine the time we try using a different remote interface helps to ensure that the hard limit is not reached before we've tried to recover by sending to a different remote port. As a data storage target, the AoE target is unambiguously identified by its {major, minor} AoE address tuple, and an AoE target can have multiple MAC addresses. However, note that "target" in the driver code and comments means a {major, minor, MAC address} tuple, as in "somewhere to send packets".

Users with several network interfaces dedicated to AoE generally do not configure them to support different-sized AoE data payloads on purpose. For a given AoE target, there will be a set of local network interfaces that can reach it. Using only the payload that will fit in the smallest-sized MTU of all those local interfaces greatly simplifies the driver, especially in failure scenarios.

To allow users to choose an elevator algorithm for their particular workloads, change from a make_request-style driver to an I/O-request-queue-handler-style driver. We have to do a couple of things that might be surprising. We manipulate the page _count directly on the assumption that we still have no guarantee that users of the block layer are prohibited from submitting bios containing pages with zero reference counts.[1] If such a prohibition now exists, I can get rid of the _count manipulation. Just as before this patch, we still keep track of the sk_buffs that the network layer still hasn't finished yet and cap the resources we use with a "pool" of skbs.[2] Now that the block layer maintains the disk stats, the aoe driver's diskstats function can go away. 1. https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/1/374 2. https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/7/6/241Signed-off-by: Ed Cashin <ecashin@coraid.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Make the frames the aoe driver uses to track the relationship between bios and packets more flexible and detached, so that they can be passed to an "aoe_ktio" thread for completion of I/O. The frames are handled much like skbs, with a capped amount of preallocation so that real-world use cases are likely to run smoothly and degenerate gracefully even under memory pressure. Decoupling I/O completion from the receive path and serializing it in a process makes it easier to think about the correctness of the locking in the driver, especially in the case of a remote MAC address becoming unusable.
