2013-01-03misc: remove __dev* attributes.Greg Kroah-Hartman
CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev* markings need to be removed. This change removes the last of the __dev* markings from the kernel from a variety of different, tiny, places. Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

2012-12-20lib: atomic64: Initialize locks statically to fix early usersStephen Boyd
The atomic64 library uses a handful of static spin locks to implement atomic 64-bit operations on architectures without support for atomic 64-bit instructions. Unfortunately, the spinlocks are initialized in a pure initcall and that is too late for the vfs namespace code which wants to use atomic64 operations before the initcall is run. This became a problem as of commit 8823c079ba71: "vfs: Add setns support for the mount namespace". This leads to BUG messages such as: BUG: spinlock bad magic on CPU#0, swapper/0/0 lock: atomic64_lock+0x240/0x400, .magic: 00000000, .owner: <none>/-1, .owner_cpu: 0 do_raw_spin_lock+0x158/0x198 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x4c/0x58 atomic64_add_return+0x30/0x5c alloc_mnt_ns.clone.14+0x44/0xac create_mnt_ns+0xc/0x54 mnt_init+0x120/0x1d4 vfs_caches_init+0xe0/0x10c start_kernel+0x29c/0x300 coming out early on during boot when spinlock debugging is enabled.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu Pull IOMMU updates from Joerg Roedel: "A few new features this merge-window. The most important one is probably, that dma-debug now warns if a dma-handle is not checked with dma_mapping_error by the device driver. This requires minor changes to some architectures which make use of dma-debug. Most of these changes have the respective Acks by the Arch-Maintainers. Besides that there are updates to the AMD IOMMU driver for refactor the IOMMU-Groups support and to make sure it does not trigger a hardware erratum. The OMAP changes (for which I pulled in a branch from Tony Lindgren's tree) have a conflict in linux-next with the arm-soc tree. The conflict is in the file arch/arm/mach-omap2/clock44xx_data.c which is deleted in the arm-soc tree. It is safe to delete the file too so solve the conflict.

2012-12-17prandom: introduce prandom_bytes() and prandom_bytes_state()Akinobu Mita
Add functions to get the requested number of pseudo-random bytes. The difference from get_random_bytes() is that it generates pseudo-random numbers by prandom_u32(). It doesn't consume the entropy pool, and the sequence is reproducible if the same rnd_state is used. So it is suitable for generating random bytes for testing.

2012-12-17random32: rename random32 to prandomAkinobu Mita
This renames all random32 functions to have 'prandom_' prefix as follows: void prandom_seed(u32 seed); /* rename from srandom32() */ u32 prandom_u32(void); /* rename from random32() */ void prandom_seed_state(struct rnd_state *state, u64 seed); /* rename from prandom32_seed() */ u32 prandom_u32_state(struct rnd_state *state); /* rename from prandom32() */ The purpose of this renaming is to prevent some kernel developers from assuming that prandom32() and random32() might imply that only prandom32() was the one using a pseudo-random number generator by prandom32's "p", and the result may be a very embarassing security exposure. This concern was expressed by Theodore Ts'o. And furthermore, I'm going to introduce new functions for getting the requested number of pseudo-random bytes. If I continue to use both prandom32 and random32 prefixes for these functions, the confusion is getting worse. As a result of this renaming, "prandom_" is the common prefix for pseudo-random number library. Currently, srandom32() and random32() are preserved because it is difficult to rename too many users at once.

2012-12-17percpu_rw_semaphore: add lockdep annotationsOleg Nesterov
Add lockdep annotations. Not only this can help to find the potential problems, we do not want the false warnings if, say, the task takes two different percpu_rw_semaphore's for reading. IOW, at least ->rw_sem should not use a single class. This patch exposes this internal lock to lockdep so that it represents the whole percpu_rw_semaphore. This way we do not need to add another "fake" ->lockdep_map and lock_class_key. More importantly, this also makes the output from lockdep much more understandable if it finds the problem. In short, with this patch from lockdep pov percpu_down_read() and percpu_up_read() acquire/release ->rw_sem for reading, this matches the actual semantics. This abuses __up_read() but I hope this is fine and in fact I'd like to have down_read_no_lockdep() as well, percpu_down_read_recursive_readers() will need it.

2012-12-17percpu_rw_semaphore: kill ->writer_mutex, add ->write_ctrOleg Nesterov
percpu_rw_semaphore->writer_mutex was only added to simplify the initial rewrite, the only thing it protects is clear_fast_ctr() which otherwise could be called by multiple writers. ->rw_sem is enough to serialize the writers. Kill this mutex and add "atomic_t write_ctr" instead. The writers increment/decrement this counter, the readers check it is zero instead of mutex_is_locked(). Move atomic_add(clear_fast_ctr(), slow_read_ctr) under down_write() to avoid the race with other writers. This is a bit sub-optimal, only the first writer needs this and we do not need to exclude the readers at this stage. But this is simple, we do not want another internal lock until we add more features. And this speeds up the write-contended case. Before this patch the racing writers sleep in synchronize_sched_expedited() sequentially, with this patch multiple synchronize_sched_expedited's can "overlap" with each other. Note: we can do more optimizations, this is only the first step.

2012-12-17percpu_rw_semaphore: reimplement to not block the readers unnecessarilyOleg Nesterov
Currently the writer does msleep() plus synchronize_sched() 3 times to acquire/release the semaphore, and during this time the readers are blocked completely. Even if the "write" section was not actually started or if it was already finished. With this patch down_write/up_write does synchronize_sched() twice and down_read/up_read are still possible during this time, just they use the slow path. percpu_down_write() first forces the readers to use rw_semaphore and increment the "slow" counter to take the lock for reading, then it takes that rw_semaphore for writing and blocks the readers. Also. With this patch the code relies on the documented behaviour of synchronize_sched(), it doesn't try to pair synchronize_sched() with barrier.

This is another step towards better standard conformance. Rather than adding a local buffer to store the specified portion of the string (with the need to enforce an arbitrary maximum supported width to limit the buffer size), do a maximum width conversion and then drop as much of it as is necessary to meet the caller's request. Also fail on negative field widths. Uses the deprecated simple_strto*() functions because kstrtoXX() fail on non-zero terminated strings.

2012-11-17dma-debug: fix to not have dependency on get_dma_ops() interfaceShuah Khan
dma-debug depends on get_dma_ops() interface. Several architectures do not define dma_ops and get_dma_ops(). When dma debug interfaces are used on an architecture (e.g: c6x) that doesn't define get_dmap_ops(), compilation fails. Changing dma-debug to call dma_mapping_error() instead of defining its own that calls get_dma_ops(), such that the internal use of dma_mapping_error() doesn't interfere with the debug_dma_mapping_error() interface's mapping error checks. Moving dma_mapping_error() checks in check_unmap() under the dma debug entry not found is sufficient to fix the problem.

2012-10-30swiotlb: Do not export swiotlb_bounce since there are no external consumersAlexander Duyck
Currently swiotlb is the only consumer for swiotlb_bounce. Since that is the case it doesn't make much sense to be exporting it so make it a static function only. In addition we can save a few more lines of code by making it so that it accepts the DMA address as a physical address instead of a virtual one. This is the last piece in essentially pushing all of the DMA address values to use physical addresses in swiotlb. In order to clarify things since we now have 2 physical addresses in use inside of swiotlb_bounce I am renaming phys to orig_addr, and dma_addr to tlb_addr. This way is should be clear that orig_addr is contained within io_orig_addr and tlb_addr is an address within the io_tlb_addr buffer.

2012-10-30swiotlb: Return physical addresses when calling swiotlb_tbl_map_singleAlexander Duyck
This change makes it so that swiotlb_tbl_map_single will return a physical address instead of a virtual address when called. The advantage to this once again is that we are avoiding a number of virt_to_phys and phys_to_virt translations by working with everything as a physical address. One change I had to make in order to support using physical addresses is that I could no longer trust 0 to be a invalid physical address on all platforms. So instead I made it so that ~0 is returned on error. This should never be a valid return value as it implies that only one byte would be available for use. In order to clarify things since we now have 2 physical addresses in use inside of swiotlb_tbl_map_single I am renaming phys to orig_addr, and dma_addr to tlb_addr.
