virtio: rng: disallow multiple device registrations, fixes crashes

2013-03-20T20:10:52+00:00

commit e84e7a56a3aa2963db506299e29a5f3f09377f9b upstream.

The code currently only supports one virtio-rng device at a time.
Invoking guests with multiple devices causes the guest to blow up.

Check if we've already registered and initialised the driver.  Also
cleanup in case of registration errors or hot-unplug so that a new
device can be used.

hw_random: make buffer usable in scatterlist.

2013-03-14T18:26:12+00:00

commit f7f154f1246ccc5a0a7e9ce50932627d60a0c878 upstream.

virtio_rng feeds the randomness buffer handed by the core directly
into the scatterlist, since commit bb347d98079a547e80bd4722dee1de61e4dca0e8.

However, if CONFIG_HW_RANDOM=m, the static buffer isn't a linear address
(at least on most archs).  We could fix this in virtio_rng, but it's actually
far easier to just do it in the core as virtio_rng would have to allocate
a buffer every time (it doesn't know how much the core will want to read).

Drivers: char: remove __dev* attributes.

2013-01-03T23:57:15+00:00

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

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.

Merge tag 'multiplatform' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc

2012-12-13T18:57:16+00:00

Pull ARM SoC multiplatform conversion patches from Olof Johansson:
 "Here are more patches in the progression towards multiplatform, sparse
  irq conversions in particular.

  Tegra has a handful of cleanups and general groundwork, but is not
  quite there yet on full enablement.

  Platforms that are enabled through this branch are VT8500 and Zynq.
  Note that i.MX was converted in one of the earlier cleanup branches as
  well (before we started a separate topic for multiplatform).  And both
  new platforms for this merge window, sunxi and bcm, were merged with
  multiplatform support enabled."

Fix up conflicts mostly as per Olof.

 "Here is the "big" char/misc driver patches for 3.8-rc1.  I'm starting
  to put random driver subsystems that I had previously sent you through

  Nothing major here, the various __dev* removals, some mei driver
  updates, and other random driver-specific things from the different
  maintainers and developers.

  Note, some MFD drivers got added through this tree, and they are also
  coming in through the "real" MFD tree as well, due to some major
  mis-communication between me and the different developers.  If you
  have any merge conflicts, take the ones from the MFD tree, not these
  ones, sorry about that.

  All of this has been in linux-next for a while.

ARM: plat-nomadik: move MTU, kill plat-nomadik

2012-11-05T08:55:33+00:00

This moves the MTU timer driver from arch/arm/plat-nomadik
to drivers/clocksource and moves the header file to the
platform_data directory.

As this moves the last file being compiled to an object out
of arch/arm/plat-nomadik, we have to "turn off the light"
and delete the plat-nomadik directory, because it is not
allowed to have an empty Makefile in a plat-* directory.
This is probably also a desired side effect of depopulating
the arch/arm directory of drivers. Luckily we have just
deleted all the  include files prior to this so
by moving the last one we may delete the directory.

After this all the Ux500 and Nomadik device drivers live
outside of the arch/arm hierarchy.
