nios2: fix __get_user()

2016-09-13T21:49:43+00:00

a) should not leave crap on fault
b) should _not_ require access_ok() in any cases.

dma-mapping: use unsigned long for dma_attrs

2016-08-04T12:50:07+00:00

The dma-mapping core and the implementations do not change the DMA
attributes passed by pointer.  Thus the pointer can point to const data.
However the attributes do not have to be a bitfield.  Instead unsigned
long will do fine:

1. This is just simpler.  Both in terms of reading the code and setting
   attributes.  Instead of initializing local attributes on the stack
   and passing pointer to it to dma_set_attr(), just set the bits.

2. It brings safeness and checking for const correctness because the
   attributes are passed by value.

treewide: replace obsolete _refok by __ref

2016-08-02T21:31:41+00:00

There was only one use of __initdata_refok and __exit_refok

__init_refok was used 46 times against 82 for __ref.

Those definitions are obsolete since commit 312b1485fb50 ("Introduce new
section reference annotations tags: __ref, __refdata, __refconst")

This patch removes the following compatibility definitions and replaces
them treewide.

/* compatibility defines */
#define __init_refok     __ref
#define __initdata_refok __refdata
#define __exit_refok     __ref

I can also provide separate patches if necessary.
(One patch per tree and check in 1 month or 2 to remove old definitions)

Merge tag 'devicetree-for-4.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/robh/linux

2016-07-30T18:32:01+00:00

Pull DeviceTree updates from Rob Herring:

 - remove most of_platform_populate() calls in arch code.  Now the DT
   core code calls it in the default case and platforms only need to
   call it if they have special needs

 - use pr_fmt on all the DT core print statements

 - CoreSight binding doc improvements to block name descriptions

 - add dt_to_config script which can parse dts files and list
   corresponding kernel config options

 - fix memory leak hit with a PowerMac DT

 - correct a bunch of STMicro compatible strings to use the correct
   vendor prefix

 - fix DA9052 PMIC binding doc to match what is actually used in dts
   files

Merge branch 'clockevents/4.8' of http://git.linaro.org/people/daniel.lezcano/linux into timers/core

2016-07-07T13:41:13+00:00

Pull the clockevents/clocksource tree from Daniel Lezcano:

  - Convert the clocksource-probe init functions to return a value in order to
    prepare the consolidation of the drivers using the DT. It is a big patchset
    but went through 01.org (kbuild bot), linux next and kernel-ci (continuous
    integration) (Daniel Lezcano)

  - Fix a bad error handling by returning the right value for cadence_ttc
    (Christophe Jaillet)

  - Fix typo in the Kconfig for the Samsung pwm (Alexandre Belloni)

  - Change functions to static for armada-370-xp and digicolor (Ben Dooks)

  - Add support for the rk3399 SoC timer by adding bindings and a slight
    change in the base address. Take the opportunity to add the DYNIRQ flag
    (Huang Tao)

  - Fix endian accessors for the Samsung pwm timer (Matthew Leach)

  - Add Oxford Semiconductor RPS Dual Timer driver (Neil Armstrong)

  - Add a kernel parameter to swich on/off the event stream feature of the arch
    arm timer (Will Deacon)

clocksources: Switch back to the clksrc table

2016-06-28T08:19:35+00:00

All the clocksource drivers's init function are now converted to return
an error code. CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE is no longer used as well as the
clksrc-of table.

Let's convert back the names:
 - CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE_RET => CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE
 - clksrc-of-ret              => clksrc-of

clocksource/drivers/nios2: Convert init function to return error

2016-06-28T08:19:34+00:00

The init functions do not return any error. They behave as the following:

  - panic, thus leading to a kernel crash while another timer may work and
       make the system boot up correctly

  or

  - print an error and let the caller unaware if the state of the system

Change that by converting the init functions to return an error conforming
to the CLOCKSOURCE_OF_RET prototype.

Proper error handling (rollback, errno value) will be changed later case
by case, thus this change just return back an error or success in the init
function.

nios2: get rid of superfluous __GFP_REPEAT

2016-06-25T00:23:52+00:00

__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations.

pte_alloc_one{_kernel} allocate PTE_ORDER which is 0.  This means that
this flag has never been actually useful here because it has always been
used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.
