sh64: fix __NR_fgetxattr

2015-12-12T18:15:34+00:00

According to arch/sh/kernel/syscalls_64.S and common sense, __NR_fgetxattr
has to be defined to 259, but it doesn't.  Instead, it's defined to 269,
which is of course used by another syscall, __NR_sched_setaffinity in this
case.

This bug was found by strace test suite.

There were still a number of references to my old Red Hat email
address in the kernel source. Remove these while keeping the
Red Hat copyright notices intact.

Pull MTD updates from Brian Norris:
 "Core:

   - WARN (in some cases) when a struct mtd_info is registered multiple
     times; in the past this was "supported", but it's still error prone
     for future development.  There's only one ugly case of this left in
     the tree (that we're aware of) and the owners are aware of the
     problems there.

   - fix potential deadlock in the blkdev removal path NOTE: the
     (potential) deadlock was introduced in a for-stable patch.  This
     one is also marked for -stable.

   - ioctl(BLKPG) compat_ioctl support; resolves issues with 32-bit user
     space vs 64-bit kernel space

   - Set MTD parent device correctly throughout the tree, so the tree
     structure appears correctly in sysfs; many drivers were missing
     this (soft) requirement

   - Move device tree partitions (ofpart) into a dedicated 'partitions'
     subnode; this helps to disambiguate whether a node is a partition
     or some other auxiliary data

   - Improve error handling for partitioning failures

  NAND:

   - General: Increase timeout period, for corner-case systems with
     less-than-accurate jiffies

   - Fix OF-based autoloading of several NAND drivers when built as
     modules

   - pxa3xx_nand:
      - Rework timing configuration to be more dynamic
      - Refactor PM support

   - brcmnand: prepare for NorthStar 2 support (ARM64, 16-bit NAND
     chips)

   - sunxi_nand: refactoring and a few bug fixes

   - vf610: new NAND driver

   - FSMC: add SW BCH support; support common NAND DT bindings

   - lpc32xx_slc: refactor and improve timing calculations logic

   - denali: support for rev 5.1

  SPI NOR:

   - Layering improvements

   - Added Winbond lock/unlock support

   - Added mtd_is_locked() (i.e., ioctl(MEMISLOCKED)) support

   - Increase full-chip-erase timeout linearly with flash size

   - fsl-quadspi: fix compile for non-ARM architectures

   - New flash support"

sh: add copy_user_page() alias for __copy_user()

2015-10-16T18:42:28+00:00

copy_user_page() is needed by DAX.  Without this we get a compile error
for DAX on SH:

  fs/dax.c:280:2: error: implicit declaration of function `copy_user_page' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
    copy_user_page(vto, (void __force *)vfrom, vaddr, to);
      ^

This was done with a random config that happened to include DAX support.

This patch has only been compile tested.

atomic, arch: Audit atomic_{read,set}()

2015-09-23T07:54:28+00:00

This patch makes sure that atomic_{read,set}() are at least
{READ,WRITE}_ONCE().

We already had the 'requirement' that atomic_read() should use
ACCESS_ONCE(), and most archs had this, but a few were lacking.
All are now converted to use READ_ONCE().

And, by a symmetry and general paranoia argument, upgrade atomic_set()
to use WRITE_ONCE().

genirq: Remove irq argument from irq flow handlers

2015-09-16T13:47:51+00:00

Most interrupt flow handlers do not use the irq argument. Those few
which use it can retrieve the irq number from the irq descriptor.

Remove the argument.

Search and replace was done with coccinelle and some extra helper
scripts around it. Thanks to Julia for her help!
