Davem considers that the argument list of this interface is getting
out of control. This patch tries to address this issue following
his proposal:
struct netlink_dump_control c = { .dump = dump, .done = done, ... };
netlink_dump_start(..., &c);
Suggested by David S. Miller.

The autofs compat handling fix caused a compile failure when
CONFIG_COMPAT isn't defined.
Instead of adding random #ifdef'fery in autofs, let's just make the
compat helpers earlier to use: without CONFIG_COMPAT, is_compat_task()
just hardcodes to zero.
We could probably do something similar for a number of other cases where
we have #ifdef's in code, but this is the low-hanging fruit.

ConnectX devices have a limit on the number of mappings that can be
done on an FMR before having to call sync_tpt. The current
mlx4_ib driver reports the limit correctly in max_map_per_fmr in
.query_device(), but mlx4_core doesn't check it when actually
allocating FMRs.
Add a max_fmr_maps field to struct mlx4_caps and enforce this maximum
value on FMR allocations.

Recently added support to allow quirks to report duration also make the
boot log very crowded when initcall_debug is specified.
One thing we can to do mitigate this is to not call quirks unnecessarily
by adding a new quirk declaration macro that takes a class argument.
The new macro takes a class value and a class shift value (since it can
vary) so that quirks will be limited to certain device classes, greatly
reducing the number we call on every PCI device addition.
-v2: fix v1 that left over of sparated patch.
-v3: according to Jesse, change cls to class, cls_shift, to class_shift.

This patch (as1522) adds two new routines to the usb-serial core, for
registering and unregistering serial drivers. Instead of registering
the usb_driver and usb_serial_drivers separately, with error checking
for each one, the drivers can all be registered and unregistered by a
single function call. This reduces duplicated code.
More importantly, the new core routines change the order in which the
drivers are registered. Currently the usb-serial drivers are all
registered first and the usb_driver is done last, which leaves a
window for problems. A udev script may quickly add a new dynamic-ID
for a usb-serial driver, causing the corresponding usb_driver to be
probed. If the usb_driver hasn't been registered yet then an oops
will occur.
The new routine prevents such problems by registering the usb_driver
first. To insure that it gets probed properly for already-attached
serial devices, we call driver_attach() after all the usb-serial
drivers have been registered.
Along with adding the new routines, the patch modifies the "generic"
serial driver to use them. Further patches will similarly modify all
the other in-tree USB serial drivers.

This patch is intentionally incomplete to simplify the review.
It ignores ep_unregister_pollwait() which plays with the same wqh.
See the next change.
epoll assumes that the EPOLL_CTL_ADD'ed file controls everything
f_op->poll() needs. In particular it assumes that the wait queue
can't go away until eventpoll_release(). This is not true in case
of signalfd, the task which does EPOLL_CTL_ADD uses its ->sighand
which is not connected to the file.
This patch adds the special event, POLLFREE, currently only for
epoll. It expects that init_poll_funcptr()'ed hook should do the
necessary cleanup. Perhaps it should be defined as EPOLLFREE in
eventpoll.
__cleanup_sighand() is changed to do wake_up_poll(POLLFREE) if
->signalfd_wqh is not empty, we add the new signalfd_cleanup()
helper.
ep_poll_callback(POLLFREE) simply does list_del_init(task_list).
This make this poll entry inconsistent, but we don't care. If you
share epoll fd which contains our sigfd with another process you
should blame yourself. signalfd is "really special". I simply do
not know how we can define the "right" semantics if it used with
epoll.
The main problem is, epoll calls signalfd_poll() once to establish
the connection with the wait queue, after that signalfd_poll(NULL)
returns the different/inconsistent results depending on who does
EPOLL_CTL_MOD/signalfd_read/etc. IOW: apart from sigmask, signalfd
has nothing to do with the file, it works with the current thread.
In short: this patch is the hack which tries to fix the symptoms.
It also assumes that nobody can take tasklist_lock under epoll
locks, this seems to be true.
Note:
- we do not have wake_up_all_poll() but wake_up_poll()
is fine, poll/epoll doesn't use WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE.
- signalfd_cleanup() uses POLLHUP along with POLLFREE,
we need a couple of simple changes in eventpoll.c to
make sure it can't be "lost".

Provide a regcache_sync_region() operation which allows drivers to
write only part of the cache back to the hardware. This is intended
for use in cases like power domains or DSP memories where part of the
device register map may be reset without fully resetting the device.
Fully supporting these devices is likely to require additional work to
make specific regions of the register map cache only while they are in
reset, but this is enough for most devices.

static_key_slow_[inc|dec]()
So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does
all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a
more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the
various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels.
Typical usage scenarios:
#include <linux/static_key.h>
struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;
if (static_key_false(&key))
do unlikely code
else
do likely code
Or:
if (static_key_true(&key))
do likely code
else
do unlikely code
The static key is modified via:
static_key_slow_inc(&key);
...
static_key_slow_dec(&key);
The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an
expensive operation.
I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note
that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename
blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label
patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to
decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit.
On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to
likely()/unlikely() branches.

Hog entries are mapping table entries with .ctrl_dev_name == .dev_name.
All other mapping table entries need .dev_name set so that they will

So, there is no reason to allow mapping table entries without .dev_name

This replaces the generic versions of pcibios_resource_to_bus() and
pcibios_bus_to_resource() in asm-generic/pci.h with versions that use
pci_resource_to_bus() and pci_bus_to_resource().
The replacements are equivalent except that they can apply host
bridge window offsets when the arch has supplied them by using
pci_add_resource_offset().
Each arch can convert to using pci_add_resource_offset() individually by
removing its device resource fixups from pcibios_fixup_bus() and supplying
ARCH_HAS_GENERIC_PCI_OFFSETS. ARCH_HAS_GENERIC_PCI_OFFSETS can be removed
after all have converted.

Traditionally the kernel has refused to setup EFI at all if there's been
a mismatch in 32/64-bit mode between EFI and the kernel.
On some platforms that boot natively through EFI (Chrome OS being one),
we still need to get at least some of the static data such as memory
configuration out of EFI. Runtime services aren't as critical, and
it's a significant amount of work to implement switching between the
operating modes to call between kernel and firmware for thise cases. So
I'm ignoring it for now.
v5:
* Fixed some printk strings based on feedback
* Renamed 32/64-bit specific types to not have _ prefix
* Fixed bug in printout of efi runtime disablement
v4:
* Some of the earlier cleanup was accidentally reverted by this patch, fixed.
* Reworded some messages to not have to line wrap printk strings
v3:
* Reorganized to a series of patches to make it easier to review, and
do some of the cleanups I had left out before.
v2:
* Added graceful error handling for 32-bit kernel that gets passed
EFI data above 4GB.
* Removed some warnings that were missed in first version.

LCD config for old omapfb driver is passed with OMAP_TAG_LCD from board
files or from the bootloader. In an effort to remove OMAP_TAG_LCD, this
patch adds omapfb_set_lcd_config() function that the board files can
call to set the LCD config.
This has the drawback that configuration can no longer come from the
bootloader. Of the boards supported by the kernel, this should only
affect N770 which depends on the data from the bootloader. This patch
adds an LCD config for N770 to its board files, but that is most
probably broken. Fixing this would need information about the HW setup
in N770 boards.

The 'poll()' system call timeout parameter is supposed to be 'int', not
'long'.
Now, the reason this matters is that right now 32-bit compat mode is
broken on at least x86-64, because the 32-bit code just calls
'sys_poll()' directly on x86-64, and the 32-bit argument will have been
zero-extended, turning a signed 'int' into a large unsigned 'long'
value.
We could just introduce a 'compat_sys_poll()' function for this, and
that may eventually be what we have to do, but since the actual standard
poll() semantics is *supposed* to be 'int', and since at least on x86-64
glibc sign-extends the argument before invocing the system call (so
nobody can actually use a 64-bit timeout value in user space _anyway_,
even in 64-bit binaries), the simpler solution would seem to be to just
fix the definition of the system call to match what it should have been
from the very start.
If it turns out that somebody somehow circumvents the user-level libc
64-bit sign extension and actually uses a large unsigned 64-bit timeout
despite that not being how poll() is supposed to work, we will need to
do the compat_sys_poll() approach.

Implement a new netlink attribute type IFLA_EXT_MASK. The mask
is a 32 bit value that can be used to indicate to the kernel that
certain extended ifinfo values are requested by the user application.
At this time the only mask value defined is RTEXT_FILTER_VF to
indicate that the user wants the ifinfo dump to send information
about the VFs belonging to the interface.
This patch fixes a bug in which certain applications do not have
large enough buffers to accommodate the extra information returned
by the kernel with large numbers of SR-IOV virtual functions.
Those applications will not send the new netlink attribute with
the interface info dump request netlink messages so they will
not get unexpectedly large request buffers returned by the kernel.
Modifies the rtnl_calcit function to traverse the list of net
devices and compute the minimum buffer size that can hold the
info dumps of all matching devices based upon the filter passed
in via the new netlink attribute filter mask. If no filter
mask is sent then the buffer allocation defaults to NLMSG_GOODSIZE.
With this change it is possible to add yet to be defined netlink
attributes to the dump request which should make it fairly extensible
in the future.
