Currently, all imx pinctrl drivers maintain a big array of struct imx_pin_reg which hard-codes data like register offset and mux mode setting for each pin function. Every time a new imx SoC support is added, we need to add such a big mount of data. With moving to single kernel build, it's only matter of time to be blamed on memory consuming. With DTC pre-processor support in place, the patch moves all these data into device tree by redefining the PIN_FUNC_ID in imxXX-pinfunc.h and changing the PIN_FUNC_ID parsing code a little bit. The pin id gets re-numbered based on mux register offset, or config register offset if the pin has no mux register, so that kernel can identify the pin id from register offsets provided by device tree. As a bonus point of the change, those arbitrary magic numbers standing for particular PIN_FUNC_ID in device tree sources are now replaced by macros to improve the readability of dts files.

Replace /include/ (dtc) with #include (C pre-processor) for all imx DT files, so that gcc -E handles the entire include tree, and hence any of those files can #include some other file e.g. for constant definitions. This allows future use of #defines and header files in order to define names for various constants, such as pinctrl settings. Use of those features will increase the readability of the device tree files. Signed-off-by: Shawn Guo <shawn.guo@linaro.org>

Replace cmd_dtc with cmd_dtc_cpp, and delete the latter. Previously, a special file extension (.dtsp) was required to trigger the C pre-processor to run on device tree files. This was ugly. Now that previous changes have enhanced cmd_dtc_cpp to collect dependency information from both gcc -E and dtc, we can transparently run the pre- processor on all device tree files, irrespective of whether they use /include/ or #include syntax to include *.dtsi.

Prior to this change, when compiling *.dts to *.dtb, the dependency output from dtc would be used, and when compiling *.dtsp to *.dtb, the dependency output from gcc -E alone would be used, despite dtc also being invoked (on a temporary file that was guaranteed to have no dependencies). With this change, when compiling *.dtsp to *.dtb, the dependency files from both gcc -E and dtc are used. This will allow cmd_dtc_cpp to replace cmd_dtc in a future change. In turn, that will allow the C pre- processor to be run transparently on *.dts, without the need to a separate rule or file extension to trigger it.

The current use-case for fixdep is: a source file is run through a single processing step, which creates a single dependency file as a side-effect, which fixdep transforms into the file used by the kernel build process. In order to transparently run the C pre-processor on device-tree files, we wish to run both gcc -E and dtc on a source file in a single rule. This generates two dependency files, which must be transformed together into the file used by the kernel build process. This change modifies fixdep so it can process the concatenation of multiple separate input dependency files, and produce a correct unified output. The code changes have the slight benefit of transforming the loop in parse_dep_file() into more of a lexer/tokenizer, with the loop body being more of a parser. Previously, some of this logic was mixed together before the loop. I also added some comments, which I hope are useful. Benchmarking shows that on a cross-compiled ARM tegra_defconfig build, there is less than 0.5 seconds speed decrease with this change, on top of a build time of ~2m24s. This is probably within the noise. Signed-off-by: Stephen Warren <swarren@nvidia.com> Acked-by: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com>

The recent dtc+cpp support allows header files and C pre-processor defines/macros to be used when compiling device tree files. These headers will typically define various constants that are part of the device tree bindings. The original patch which set up the dtc+cpp include path only considered using those headers from device tree files. However, most are also useful for kernel code which needs to interpret the device tree. In both the DT files and the kernel, I'd like to include the DT-related headers in the same way, for example, <dt-bindings/gpio/tegra-gpio.h>. That will simplify any text which discusses the DT header locations. Creating a <dt-bindings/> for kernel source to use is as simple as placing files into include/dt-bindings/. However, when compiling DT files, the include path should be restricted so that only the dt-bindings path is available; arbitrary kernel headers shouldn't be exposed. For this reason, create a specific include directory for use by dtc+cpp, and symlink dt-bindings from there to the actual location of include/dt-bindings/. For want of a better location, place this "include chroot" into the existing dts/ directory. arch/*/boot/dts/include/dt-bindings -> ../../../../../include/dt-bindings Some headers used by device tree files may not be useful to the kernel; they may be used simply to aid in constructing the DT file (e.g. macros to create a node), but not define any information that the kernel needs to share. These may be placed directly into arch/*/boot/dts/ along with the DT files themselves.

-
Alex Elder authored
A result of ENOENT from a read request for an object that's part of an rbd image indicates that there is a hole in that portion of the image. Similarly, a short read for such an object indicates that the remainder of the read should be interpreted a full read with zeros filling out the end of the request. This behavior is not correct for objects that are not backing rbd image data. Currently rbd_img_obj_request_callback() assumes it should be done for all objects. Change rbd_img_obj_request_callback() so it only does this zeroing for image objects. Encapsulate that special handling in its own function. Add an assertion that the image object request is a bio request, since we assume that (and we currently don't support any other types). This resolves a problem identified here: http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/4559 The regression was introduced by bf0d5f50.

This patch fixes a regression introduced in v3.8-rc1 code where a failed target_check_reservation() check in target_setup_cmd_from_cdb() was causing an incorrect SAM_STAT_GOOD status to be returned during a WRITE operation performed by an unregistered / unreserved iscsi initiator port. This regression is only effecting iscsi-target due to a special case check for TCM_RESERVATION_CONFLICT within iscsi_target_erl1.c:iscsit_execute_cmd(), and was still correctly disallowing WRITE commands from backend submission for unregistered / unreserved initiator ports, while returning the incorrect SAM_STAT_GOOD status due to the missing SAM_STAT_RESERVATION_CONFLICT assignment. This regression was first introduced with: commit de103c93 Author: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Date: Tue Nov 6 12:24:09 2012 -0800 target: pass sense_reason as a return value Go ahead and re-add the missing SAM_STAT_RESERVATION_CONFLICT assignment during a target_check_reservation() failure, so that iscsi-target code sends the correct SCSI status.

This reverts commit 18693050 ("mm: introduce VM_POPULATE flag to better deal with racy userspace programs"). VM_POPULATE only has any effect when userspace plays racy games with vmas by trying to unmap and remap memory regions that mmap or mlock are operating on. Also, the only effect of VM_POPULATE when userspace plays such games is that it avoids populating new memory regions that get remapped into the address range that was being operated on by the original mmap or mlock calls. Let's remove VM_POPULATE as there isn't any strong argument to mandate a new vm_flag.
