2012-10-05sparc64: Niagara-4 bzero/memset, plus use MRU stores in page copy.David S. Miller
This adds optimized memset/bzero/page-clear routines for Niagara-4. We basically can do what powerpc has been able to do for a decade (via the "dcbz" instruction), which is use cache line clearing stores for bzero and memsets with a 'c' argument of zero. As long as we make the cache initializing store to each 32-byte subblock of the L2 cache line, it works. As with other Niagara-4 optimized routines, the key is to make sure to avoid any usage of the %asi register, as reads and writes to it cost at least 50 cycles. For the user clear cases, we don't use these new routines, we use the Niagara-1 variants instead. Those have to use %asi in an unavoidable way. A Niagara-4 8K page clear costs just under 600 cycles. Add definitions of the MRU variants of the cache initializing store ASIs. By default, cache initializing stores install the line as Least Recently Used. If we know we're going to use the data immediately (which is true for page copies and clears) we can use the Most Recently Used variant, to decrease the likelyhood of the lines being evicted before they get used.

2012-10-05i2c-i801: Let i2c-mux-gpio find the GPIO chipJean Delvare
Now that i2c-mux-gpio is able to find the GPIO chip by itself, we can delegate this task. The great thing here is that i2c-mux-gpio can defer device probing until the gpio chip is available, so we no longer depend on the module loading order. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

2012-10-05i2c-mux-gpio: Add support for dynamically allocated GPIO pinsJean Delvare
The code instantiating an i2c-mux-gpio platform device doesn't necessarily know in advance the GPIO pin numbers it wants to use. If pins are on a GPIO device which gets its base GPIO number assigned dynamically at run-time, the values can't be hard-coded. In that case, let the caller tell i2c-mux-gpio the name of the GPIO chip and the (relative) GPIO pin numbers to use. At probe time, the i2c-mux-gpio driver will look for the chip and apply the proper offset to turn relative GPIO pin numbers to absolute GPIO pin numbers. The same could be (and was so far) done on the caller's end, however doing it in i2c-mux-gpio has two benefits: * It avoids duplicating the code on every caller's side (about 30 lines of code.) * It allows for deferred probing for the muxed part of the I2C bus only. If finding the GPIO chip is the caller's responsibility, then deferred probing (if the GPIO chip isn't there yet) will not only affect the mux and the I2C bus segments behind it, but also the I2C bus trunk.

2012-10-05i2c-i801: Support SMBus multiplexing on Asus Z8 seriesJean Delvare
Add support for SMBus multiplexing on Asus Z8 motherboard series. On these boards, the memory slots are behind a GPIO-controlled I2C multiplexer. Models with 6 or 12 memory slots have 2 segments behind the multiplexer, while models with 18 memory slots have 3 such segments. On these boards, only the memory slots are behind the multiplexer, so it is possible to keep the autodetection mechanism. The code is generic enough so it could work on other boards as long as the multiplexer is controlled by GPIO pins. For other forms of multiplexing (for example using an I2C device) additional code will be needed. Thanks to Asus for providing a board to develop and test this feature, as well as all the technical information required. At the moment, the GPIO driver must be loaded before the i2c-i801 driver, but I hope to solve this soon, using deferred probing on the i2c-mux-gpio side.

This in turn ensures that when an interrupt can be triggered, the alert structure is still available.

2012-10-06aoe: make dynamic block minor numbers the defaultEd Cashin
Because udev use is so widespread, making the old static mapping the default is too conservative, given the severe limitations it places on usable AoE addresses. Storage virtualization and larger shelves have made the old limitations too confining. These changes make the dynamic block device minor numbers the default, removing the limitations on usable AoE addresses. The static arrangement is still available with aoe_dyndevs=0, and the aoe-stat tool from the userland aoetools package, the user space counterpart to the aoe driver, recognizes the case where there is a mismatch between the minor number in sysfs and the minor number in a special device file.

The ATA over Ethernet protocol uses a major (shelf) and minor (slot) address to identify a particular storage target.

For example, without these changes, the slot address has a maximum of 15, but users commonly use slot numbers much greater than that. The AoE shelf and slot address space is often used sparsely. Instead of using a static mapping between AoE addresses and the block device minor number, the block device minor numbers are now allocated on demand.
