nios2: fix timer initcall return value

2016-11-11T16:45:08+00:00

When called more than twice, the nios2_time_init() function return an
uninitialized value, as detected by gcc -Wmaybe-uninitialized

  arch/nios2/kernel/time.c: warning: 'ret' may be used uninitialized in this function

This makes it return '0' here, matching the comment above the function.

nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus

2016-10-08T01:46:30+00:00

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative.  Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".

We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.

This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

nios2: use of_property_read_bool

2016-10-06T10:19:16+00:00

Use of_property_read_bool instead of open-coding it as fpcu_has.
Convert the members of struct cpuinfo from u32 to bool accordingly as
they are only used as boolean anyhow.

Pull tty and serial updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big tty and serial patch set for 4.9-rc1.

  It also includes some drivers/dma/ changes, as those were needed by
  some serial drivers, and they were all acked by the DMA maintainer.

  Also in here is the long-suffering ACPI SPCR patchset, which was
  passed around from maintainer to maintainer like a hot-potato. Seems I
  was the sucker^Wlucky one. All of those patches have been acked by the
  various subsystem maintainers as well.

  All of this has been in linux-next with no reported issues"

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.

Semantic patches for this change (at least most of them):

    virtual patch
    virtual context

    @r@
    identifier f, attrs;

    @@
    f(...,
    - struct dma_attrs *attrs

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)
