Nicolas Pitre 2e2023fe02 [ARM] Feroceon: catch other Feroceon CPU IDs in head.S
Tweak the Feroceon match/mask in arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S to
match a couple of newer Feroceon cores (such as the 88fr571vd with
CPU ID 0x56155710, and the 88fr131 with CPU ID 0x56251310) as well.

Nicolas Pitre 6c386e58aa [ARM] Feroceon: speed up flushing of the entire cache
Flushing the L1 D cache with a test/clean/invalidate loop is very
easy in software, but it is not the quickest way of doing it, as
there is a lot of overhead involved in re-scanning the cache from
the beginning every time we hit a dirty line.

This patch makes proc-feroceon.S use "clean+invalidate by set/way"
loops according to possible cache configuration of Feroceon CPUs
(either direct-mapped or 4-way set associative).

Lennert Buytenhek 2850a03773 [ARM] Orion: avoid setting ->force_phy_addr
The mv643xx_eth platform data field ->force_phy_addr only needs
to be set if the passed-in ->phy_addr field is zero (to distinguish
the case of not having specified a phy address
(force_phy_addr = 0) from the case where a phy address of zero needs
to be used (force_phy_addr = 1.))

Also, the ->force_phy_addr field will hopefully disappear in a
future mv643xx_eth reorganisation.

Therefore, this patch deletes the ->force_phy_addr field initialiser
from all Orion board code.

Lennert Buytenhek b206ed0462 [ARM] Orion: remove error printks in ->map_irq() implementations
If all PCI devices are working as expected, the error printks in the
various implementations of ->map_irq() doesn't really provide any
useful info.  And if something is not working as expected, turning
on pci=debug gives you more useful information than the printk calls
in ->map_irq(), since the former also tells you which devices _did_
get IRQs successfully assigned.  Therefore, delete these printks
entirely.

Lennert Buytenhek 386a048a1e [ARM] Orion: move setting up PCIe WA window into PCIe setup path
It makes no sense to do PCIe WA window setup in the individual
board support files while the decision whether or not to use the
PCIe WA access method is made in a different place, in the PCIe
support code.

This patch moves the configuration of a PCIe WA window from the
individual Orion board support files to the central Orion PCIe
support code.

Lennert Buytenhek 044f6c7c44 [ARM] Orion: move EHCI/I2C/UART peripheral init into board code
This patch moves initialisation of EHCI/I2C/UART platform devices
from the common orion5x_init() into the board support code.

The rationale behind this is that only the board support code knows
whether certain peripherals have been brought out on the board, and
not initialising peripherals that haven't been brought out is
desirable for example:
- to reduce user confusion (e.g. seeing both 'eth0' and 'eth1'
  appear while there is only one ethernet port on the board); and
- to allow for future power savings (peripherals that have not
  been brought out can be clock gated off entirely).

Lennert Buytenhek 000e99c333 [ARM] Orion: top-level IRQs are level-triggered
Make it clear that Orion top-level IRQs are level-triggered.  This
means that we don't need an ->ack() handler, or at least, we don't
need the ->ack() handler (or the acking part of the ->mask_ack()
handler) to actually do anything.

Given that, we might as well point our ->mask_ack() handler at the
->mask() handler instead of providing a dummy ->ack() handler, since
providing a ->mask_ack() handler on level IRQ sources will prevent
->ack() from ever being called.

Lennert Buytenhek 4fc338e38f [ARM] Orion: DRAM mapping granularity is 64KiB, not 16MiB
The DRAM base address and size fields in the CPU's MBUS bridge have
64KiB granularity, instead of the currently used 16MiB.  Since all
of the currently supported MBUS peripherals support 64KiB granularity
as well, this patch changes the Orion address map code to stop
rounding base addresses down and sizes up to multiples of 16MiB.

Lennert Buytenhek a18b658449 [ARM] Orion: make window setup a little more safe
Currently, Orion window setup uses hardcoded window indexes for each
of the boot/cs0/cs1/cs2/PCIe WA windows.  The static window allocation
used can clash if board support code will ever attempt to configure
both a dev2 and a PCIe WA window, as both of those use CPU mbus window
#7 at present.

This patch keeps track of the last used window, and opens subsequently
requested windows sequentially, starting from 4.  (Windows 0-3 are used
as MEM/IO windows for the PCI/PCIe buses.)

Nicolas Pitre 2239aff6ab [ARM] cache align destination pointer when copying memory for some processors
The implementation for memory copy functions on ARM had a (disabled)
provision for aligning the source pointer before loading registers with
data.  Turns out that aligning the _destination_ pointer is much more
useful, as the read side is already sufficiently helped with the use of
preload.

So this changes the definition of the CALGN() macro to target the
destination pointer instead, and turns it on for Feroceon processors
where the gain is very noticeable.

Linus Torvalds 1f6ef23429 [watchdog] hpwdt: fix use of inline assembly
The inline assembly in drivers/watchdog/hpwdt.c was incredibly broken,
and included all the function prologue and epilogue stuff, even though
it was itself then inside a C function where the compiler would add its
own prologue and epilogue on top of it all.

This then just _happened_ to work if you had exactly the right compiler
version and exactly the right compiler flags, so that gcc just happened
to not create any prologue at all (the gcc-generated epilogue wouldn't
matter, since it would never be reached).

But the more proper way to fix it is to simply not do this.  Move the
inline asm to the top level, with no surrounding function at all (the
better alternative would be to remove the prologue and make it actually
use proper description of the arguments to the inline asm, but that's a
bigger change than the one I'm willing to make right now).

taking into account the fact that DaVinci SoC devices are fixed-mapped to the
virtual memory early and we can get their virtual addresses using IO_ADDRESS()
macro, not having to call ioremap()...

While at it, also do some cosmetic changes...

Linus Torvalds 89f5b7da2a Reinstate ZERO_PAGE optimization in 'get_user_pages()' and fix XIP
KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki and Oleg Nesterov point out that since the commit
557ed1fa26 ("remove ZERO_PAGE") removed
the ZERO_PAGE from the VM mappings, any users of get_user_pages() will
generally now populate the VM with real empty pages needlessly.

We used to get the ZERO_PAGE when we did the "handle_mm_fault()", but
since fault handling no longer uses ZERO_PAGE for new anonymous pages,
we now need to handle that special case in follow_page() instead.

In particular, the removal of ZERO_PAGE effectively removed the core
file writing optimization where we would skip writing pages that had not
been populated at all, and increased memory pressure a lot by allocating
all those useless newly zeroed pages.

This reinstates the optimization by making the unmapped PTE case the
same as for a non-existent page table, which already did this correctly.

While at it, this also fixes the XIP case for follow_page(), where the
caller could not differentiate between the case of a page that simply
could not be used (because it had no "struct page" associated with it)
and a page that just wasn't mapped.

We do that by simply returning an error pointer for pages that could not
be turned into a "struct page *".  The error is arbitrarily picked to be
EFAULT, since that was what get_user_pages() already used for the
equivalent IO-mapped page case.

[ Also removed an impossible test for pte_offset_map_lock() failing:
  that's not how that function works ]

Dave Airlie 858a3685bc drm: only trust core drm ioctls - driver ioctls are a mess.
So driver ioctls need a full auditing before we can make this change.
