       "A few more last-minute regression fixes, prepared jointly by me and
        David Woodhouse:
      
         - Revert pxa3xx to its old name to avoid breaking existing
           'mtdparts=' boot strings.
      
         - Return GPMI NAND to its legacy ECC layout for backwards
           compatibility.  We will revisit this in 3.13.
      
        A note from David on the latter fix: 'This leaves a harmless cosmetic
        warning about an unused function.  At this point in the cycle I really
        don't care.'"

      mtd: gpmi: fix ECC regression · 031e2777
      David Woodhouse authored
      The "legacy" ECC layout used until 3.12-rc1 uses all the OOB area by
      computing the ECC strength and ECC step size ourselves.
      
      Commit 2febcdf8 ("mtd: gpmi: set the BCHs geometry with the ecc info")
      makes the driver use the ECC info (ECC strength and ECC step size)
      provided by the MTD code, and creates a different NAND ECC layout
      for the BCH, and use the new ECC layout. This causes a regression:
      
         We can not mount the ubifs which was created by the old NAND ECC layout.
      
      This patch fixes this issue by reverting to the legacy ECC layout.
      
      We will probably introduce a new device-tree property to indicate that
      the new ECC layout can be used. For now though, for the imminent 3.12
      release, we just unconditionally revert to the 3.11 behaviour.
      
      This leaves a harmless cosmetic warning about an unused function. At
      this point in the cycle I really don't care.

      seq_file: always update file->f_pos in seq_lseek() · 05e16745
      Gu Zheng authored
      This issue was first pointed out by Jiaxing Wang several months ago, but no
      further comments:
      https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/29/41
      
      As we know pread() does not change f_pos, so after pread(), file->f_pos
      and m->read_pos become different. And seq_lseek() does not update file->f_pos
      if offset equals to m->read_pos, so after pread() and seq_lseek()(lseek to
      m->read_pos), then a subsequent read may read from a wrong position, the
      following program produces the problem:
      
          char str1[32] = { 0 };
          char str2[32] = { 0 };
          int poffset = 10;
          int count = 20;
      
          /*open any seq file*/
          int fd = open("/proc/modules", O_RDONLY);
      
          pread(fd, str1, count, poffset);
          printf("pread:%s\n", str1);
      
          /*seek to where m->read_pos is*/
          lseek(fd, poffset+count, SEEK_SET);
      
          /*supposed to read from poffset+count, but this read from position 0*/
          read(fd, str2, count);
          printf("read:%s\n", str2);
      
      out put:
      pread:
       ck_netbios_ns 12665
      read:
       nf_conntrack_netbios
      
      /proc/modules:
      nf_conntrack_netbios_ns 12665 0 - Live 0xffffffffa038b000
      nf_conntrack_broadcast 12589 1 nf_conntrack_netbios_ns, Live 0xffffffffa0386000
      
      So we always update file->f_pos to offset in seq_lseek() to fix this issue.

      Pull ARM SoC fixes from Olof Johansson:
       "There's really only one bugfix in this branch, which is a fix for
        timers on the integrator platform.  Since Linus Walleij is
        resurrecting support for the platform it seems valuable to get the fix
        into 3.12 even though the regression has been around a while.
      
        The rest are a handful of maintainers updates.  If you prefer to hold
        those until 3.13 then just merge the first patch on the branch which
        is the fix"

      mtd: nand: pxa3xx: Fix registered MTD name · 18a84e93
      Ezequiel Garcia authored
      In a recent commit:
      
        commit f455578d
        Author: Ezequiel Garcia <ezequiel.garcia@free-electrons.com>
        Date:   Mon Aug 12 14:14:53 2013 -0300
      
        mtd: nand: pxa3xx: Remove hardcoded mtd name
      
        There's no advantage in using a hardcoded name for the mtd device.
        Instead use the provided by the platform_device.
      
      The MTD name was changed to use the one provided by the platform_device.
      However, this can be problematic as some users want to set partitions
      using the kernel parameter 'mtdparts', where the name is needed.
      
      Therefore, to avoid regressions in users relying in 'mtdparts' we revert
      the change and use the previous one 'pxa3xx_nand-0'.
      
      While at it, let's put a big comment and prevent this change from happening
      ever again.
