When iterating over the entries in firmware_features_table we only need
to go over the actual number of entries in the array instead of declaring
it to be bigger and checking to make sure there is a valid entry in every
slot.
This patch removes the FIRMWARE_MAX_FEATURES #define and replaces the
array looping with the use of ARRAY_SIZE().

Correct parsing of the buffer returned from ibm,update-properties. The first
element is a length and the path to the property which is slightly different
from the list of properties in the buffer so we need to specifically
handle this.

Newer firmware on Power systems can transparently reassign platform resources
(CPU and Memory) in use. For instance, if a processor or memory unit is
predicted to fail, the platform may transparently move the processing to an
equivalent unused processor or the memory state to an equivalent unused
memory unit. However, reassigning resources across NUMA boundaries may alter
the performance of the partition. When such reassignment is necessary, the
Platform Resource Reassignment Notification (PRRN) option provides a
mechanism to inform the Linux kernel of changes to the NUMA affinity of
its platform resources.
When rtasd receives a PRRN event, it needs to make a series of RTAS
calls (ibm,update-nodes and ibm,update-properties) to retrieve the
updated device tree information. These calls are already handled in the
pseries_devicetree_update() routine used in partition migration.
This patch exposes pseries_devicetree_update() to make it accessible
to other pseries routines, this patch also updates pseries_devicetree_update()
to take a 32-bit scope parameter. The scope value, which was previously hard
coded to 1 for partition migration, is used for the RTAS calls
ibm,update-nodes/properties to update the device tree.

In commit 85fe402 (fs: do not assign default i_ino in new_inode), the
initialisation of i_ino was removed from new_inode() and pushed down
into the callers. However spufs_new_inode() was not updated.
This exhibits as no files appearing in /spu, because all our dirents
have a zero inode, which readdir() seems to dislike.

None of the cell platforms support CPU hotplug, so we should iterate
only over online nodes when setting PMU interrupts.
This also fixes a warning during boot when NODES_SHIFT is large enough:

An IGB conflict existed because in 'net' the build_skb() support was

Given a PCI device with multiple functions in a DDW capable slot, the
following situation can be encountered: When the first function sets a
64-bit DMA mask, enable_ddw() will be called and we can fail to properly
configure DDW (the most common reason being the new DMA window's size is
not large enough to map all of an LPAR's memory). With the recent
changes to DDW, we remove the base window in order to determine if the
new window is of sufficient size to cover an LPAR's memory. We correctly
replace the base window if we find that not to be the case. However,
once we go through and re-configured 32-bit DMA via the IOMMU, the next
function of the adapter will go through the same process. And since DDW
is a characteristic of the slot itself, we are most likely going to fail
again. But to determine we are going to fail the second slot, we again
remove the base window -- but that is now in-use by the first
function/driver, which might be issuing I/O already.
To close this window, keep a list of all the failed struct device_nodes
that have failed to configure DDW. If the current device_node is in that
list, just fail out immediately and fall back to 32-bit DMA without
doing any DDW manipulation.

performed before the ANDCOND test
Some versions of pHyp will perform the adjunct partition test before the
ANDCOND test. The result of this is that H_RESOURCE can be returned and
cause the BUG_ON condition to occur. The HPTE is not removed. So add a
check for H_RESOURCE, it is ok if this HPTE is not removed as
pSeries_lpar_hpte_remove is looking for an HPTE to remove and not a
specific HPTE to remove. So it is ok to just move on to the next slot
and try again.

This patch converts the Marvell MV643XX ethernet driver to use the
Marvell Orion MDIO driver. As a result, PowerPC and ARM platforms
registering the Marvell MV643XX ethernet driver are also updated to
register a Marvell Orion MDIO driver. This driver voluntarily overlaps
with the Marvell Ethernet shared registers because it will use a subset
of this shared register (shared_base + 0x4 to shared_base + 0x84). The
Ethernet driver is also updated to look up for a PHY device using the
Orion MDIO bus driver.
For ARM and PowerPC we register a single instance of the "mvmdio" driver
in the system like it used to be done with the use of the "shared_smi"
platform_data cookie on ARM.
Note that it is safe to register the mvmdio driver only for the "ge00"
instance of the driver because this "ge00" interface is guaranteed to
always be explicitely registered by consumers of
arch/arm/plat-orion/common.c and other instances (ge01, ge10 and ge11)
were all pointing their shared_smi to ge00. For PowerPC the in-tree
Device Tree Source files mention only one MV643XX ethernet MAC instance
so the MDIO bus driver is registered only when id == 0.

Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
to match.
A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.
Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
making things safer with no real cost.
Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
with blacklist and alias directives. Allowing simple, safe,
well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.
This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
would not work. While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
cases. The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
autofs4.
This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.
After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
module. The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
without regards to the users permissions. In general all a filesystem
module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted. In a user
namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
which most filesystems do not set today.

- Move the Bestcomm DMA driver from arch powerpc to drivers/dma where
it belongs by Philippe De Muyter
- Support for Transactional Memory on Power8 by Michael Neuling
(based on original work by Matt Evans). For those curious about
the feature, the patch contains a pretty good description."
(See commit db8ff907027b: "powerpc: Documentation for transactional
memory on powerpc" for the mentioned description added to the file
Documentation/powerpc/transactional_memory.txt)

NOTE: this really needs testing - I could've easily fucked up
refcounting in there.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull driver core patches from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
"Here is the big driver core merge for 3.9-rc1
There are two major series here, both of which touch lots of drivers
all over the kernel, and will cause you some merge conflicts:
- add a new function called devm_ioremap_resource() to properly be
able to check return values.
- remove CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
Other than those patches, there's not much here, some minor fixes and
updates"

Pull scheduler changes from Ingo Molnar:
"Main changes:
- scheduler side full-dynticks (user-space execution is undisturbed
and receives no timer IRQs) preparation changes that convert the
cputime accounting code to be full-dynticks ready, from Frederic
Weisbecker.
- Initial sched.h split-up changes, by Clark Williams
- select_idle_sibling() performance improvement by Mike Galbraith:
" 1 tbench pair (worst case) in a 10 core + SMT package:
pre 15.22 MB/sec 1 procs
post 252.01 MB/sec 1 procs "
- sched_rr_get_interval() ABI fix/change. We think this detail is not
used by apps (so it's not an ABI in practice), but lets keep it
under observation.
- misc RT scheduling cleanups, optimizations"

<<
Please pull mpc5xxx patches for v3.9. The bestcomm driver is
moved to drivers/dma (so it will be usable for ColdFire).
mpc5121 now provides common dtsi file and existing mpc5121 device
trees use it. There are some minor clock init and sparse fixes
and updates for various 5200 device tree files from Grant. Some
fixes for bugs in the mpc5121 DIU driver are also included here
(Andrew Morton suggested to push them via my mpc5xxx tree).
