<content type='text'>
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.

<title>treewide: replace obsolete _refok by __ref</title>

<id>bd721ea73e1f965569b40620538c942001f76294</id>
<content type='text'>
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)

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

LTP madvise05 was generating mm splat

| [ARCLinux]# /sd/ltp/testcases/bin/madvise05
| BUG: Bad page map in process madvise05  pte:80e08211 pmd:9f7d4000
| page:9fdcfc90 count:1 mapcount:-1 mapping:  (null) index:0x0 flags: 0x404(referenced|reserved)
| page dumped because: bad pte
| addr:200b8000 vm_flags:00000070 anon_vma:  (null) mapping:  (null) index:1005c
| file:  (null) fault:  (null) mmap:  (null) readpage:  (null)
| CPU: 2 PID: 6707 Comm: madvise05

And for newer kernels, the system was rendered unusable afterwards.

The problem was mprotect-&gt;pte_modify() clearing PTE_SPECIAL (which is
set to identify the special zero page wired to the pte).
When pte was finally unmapped, special casing for zero page was not
done, and instead it was treated as a "normal" page, tripping on the
map counts etc.

This fixes ARC STAR 9001053308

<title>Disable "maybe-uninitialized" warning globally</title>

Several build configurations had already disabled this warning because
it generates a lot of false positives.  But some had not, and it was
still enabled for "allmodconfig" builds, for example.

Looking at the warnings produced, every single one I looked at was a
false positive, and the warnings are frequent enough (and big enough)
that they can easily hide real problems that you don't notice in the
noise generated by -Wmaybe-uninitialized.

The warning is good in theory, but this is a classic case of a warning
that causes more problems than the warning can solve.

If gcc gets better at avoiding false positives, we may be able to
re-enable this warning.  But as is, we're better off without it, and I
want to be able to see the *real* warnings.
