register_chrdev() hardcodes registering 256 minors, presumably to
avoid breaking old drivers. However, we need to register enough
minors so that we have all possible CPUs.
checkpatch warns on this patch, but the patch is correct: NR_CPUS here
is a static *upper bound* on the *maximum CPU index* (not *number of
CPUs!*) and that is what we want.

The instruction attribute table generator fails when run by mawk
or original-awk:
$ mawk -f arch/x86/tools/gen-insn-attr-x86.awk \
arch/x86/lib/x86-opcode-map.txt > /dev/null
Semantic error at 240: Second IMM error
$ echo $?
1
Line 240 contains "c8: ENTER Iw,Ib", which indicates that this
instruction has two immediate operands, the second of which is
one byte. The script loops through the immediate operands using
a for loop.
Unfortunately, there is no guarantee in awk that a for (variable
in array) loop will return the indices in increasing order.
Internally, both original-awk and mawk iterate over a hash table
for this purpose, and both implementations happen to produce the
index 2 before 1. The supposed second immediate operand is more
than one byte wide, producing the error.
So loop over the indices in increasing order instead. As a
side-effect, with mawk this means the silly two-entry hash table
never has to be built.

This driver was merged before the ep93xx core support was added
for the keypad clock and acquiring/releasing the necessary gpio's.
Now that the proper support is in the ep93xx core this driver
needs to be updated to work correctly.
Summary of changes:
1) Remove some unused members from the platform data.
2) Remove the custom KEY macro and use the ones available in
<linux/input/matrix_keypad.h>
3) Remove the keypad_{readl/writel} macros and just use
__raw_{readl/writel} directly.
4) Update the clk_set_rate() call to work with the core support.
5) Cleanup the probe routine and remove some unneeded messages.
6) Use the ep93xx core functions to acquire and release the gpio's.
7) Fix the clk_get() call to get the keypad clock.

Allow the use of another DMA controller driver in atmel-mci sd/mmc driver.
This adds a generic dma_slave pointer to the mci platform structure where
we can store DMA controller information. In atmel-mci we use information
provided by this structure to initialize the driver (with new helper
functions that are architecture dependant).
This also adds at32/avr32 chip modifications to cope with this new access
method.

Makes use of skip_spaces() defined in lib/string.c for removing leading
spaces from strings all over the tree.
It decreases lib.a code size by 47 bytes and reuses the function tree-wide:
text data bss dec hex filename
64688 584 592 65864 10148 (TOTALS-BEFORE)
64641 584 592 65817 10119 (TOTALS-AFTER)
Also, while at it, if we see (*str && isspace(*str)), we can be sure to
remove the first condition (*str) as the second one (isspace(*str)) also
evaluates to 0 whenever *str == 0, making it redundant. In other words,
"a char equals zero is never a space".

This is based on the old code on arch/x86/kernel/mfgpt_32.c, except it's
not x86 specific, it's modular, and it makes use of a PCI BAR rather than
a random MSR. Currently module unloading is not supported; it's uncertain
whether or not it can be made work with the hardware.

Previously, OLPC support for the mic extensions was only enabled in the
ALSA driver if CONFIG_OLPC and CONFIG_MGEODE_LX were both set. This was
because the old geode GPIO code was written in a manner that assumed
CONFIG_MGEODE_LX. With the new cs553x-gpio driver, this is no longer the
case; as such, we can drop the requirement on CONFIG_MGEODE_LX and instead
include a requirement on GPIOLIB.
We use the generic GPIO API rather than the cs553x-specific API.

This creates a CS5535/CS5536 GPIO driver which uses a gpio_chip backend
(allowing GPIO users to use the generic GPIO API if desired) while also
allowing architecture-specific users directly (via the cs5535_gpio_*
functions).
Tested on an OLPC machine. Some Leemotes also use CS5536 (with a mips
cpu), which is why this is in drivers/gpio rather than arch/x86.
Currently, it conflicts with older geode GPIO support; once MFGPT support
is reworked to also be more generic, the older geode code will be removed.

The commit f4780ca005404166cc40af77ef0e86132ab98a81 moves
swiotlb initialization before dma32_free_bootmem(). It's
supposed to fix a bug that the commit
75f1cdf1dda92cae037ec848ae63690d91913eac introduced, we
initialize SWIOTLB right after dma32_free_bootmem so we wrongly
steal memory area allocated for GART with broken BIOS earlier.
However, the above commit introduced another problem, which
likely breaks machines with huge amount of memory. Such a box
use the majority of DMA32_ZONE so there is no memory for
swiotlb.
With this patch, the x86 IOMMU initialization sequence are:
1. We set swiotlb to 1 in the case of (max_pfn > MAX_DMA32_PFN
&& !no_iommu). If swiotlb usage is forced by the boot option,
we go to the step 3 and finish (we don't try to detect IOMMUs).
2. We call the detection functions of all the IOMMUs. The
detection function sets x86_init.iommu.iommu_init to the IOMMU
initialization function (so we can avoid calling the
initialization functions of all the IOMMUs needlessly).
3. We initialize swiotlb (and set dma_ops to swiotlb_dma_ops) if
swiotlb is set to 1.
4. If the IOMMU initialization function doesn't need swiotlb
(e.g. the initialization is sucessful) then sets swiotlb to zero.
5. If we find that swiotlb is set to zero, we free swiotlb
resource.

The next commit will require the use of MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX in
.tmp_exports-asm.S. Currently it is mixed in with C structure
definitions in "asm/module.h". Move the definition of this arch option
into Kconfig, so it can be easily accessed by any code.
This also lets modpost.c use the same definition. Previously modpost
relied on a hardcoded list of architectures in mk_elfconfig.c.
A build test for blackfin, one of the two MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX archs,
showed the generated code was unchanged. vmlinux was identical save
for build ids, and an apparently randomized suffix on a single "__key"
symbol in the kallsyms data).

The Kconfigs for in-tree floating point emulation do not allow building
as modules. That leaves the Acorn FPEmulator module. I found two public
releases of this as a binary module for 2.1 and 2.2 kernels, optimized
for ARMV4.[1] If there is a resurgence of interest in this, the symbols
can always be re-exported.
This allows the EXPORT_SYMBOL_ALIAS() hack to be removed. The ulterior
motive here is that EXPORT_SYMBOL_ALIAS() makes it harder to sort the
resulting kernel symbol tables. Sorted symbol tables will allow faster
symbol resolution during module loading.
Note that fp_send_sigs() and fp_printk() are simply aliases for existing
exports and add no obvious value. Similarly fp_enter could easily be
renamed to kern_fp_enter at the point of definition. Therefore removing
EXPORT_SYMBOL_ALIAS will not serve as a material obstacle to re-adding
the exports should they be desired in future.
Build tested only.

Commit 023bf6f "linker script: unify usage of discard definition"
changed the linker scripts for all architectures except for ARM.
I can find no discussion about this ommision, so here are the changes
for ARM.
These changes are exactly parallel to the ia64 case.
"ia64 is notable because it first throws away some ia64 specific
subsections and then include the rest of the sections into the final
image, so those sections must be discarded before the inclusion."
Not boot-tested. In build testing, the modified linker script generated
an identical vmlinux file.
[I would like to be able to rely on this unified discard definition.
I want to sort the kernel symbol tables to allow faster symbol
resolution during module loading. The simplest way appears to be
to generate sorted versions from vmlinux.o, link them in to vmlinux,
_and discard the original unsorted tables_.
This work is driven by my x86 netbook, but it is implemented at a
generic level. It is possible it will benefit some ARM systems also.]

For CONFIG_PARAVIRT, load_gs_index is an inline function (it's #defined
to native_load_gs_index otherwise).
Exporting an inline function breaks the new assembler-based alphabetical
sorted symbol list:
Today's linux-next build (x86_64 allmodconfig) failed like this:
.tmp_exports-asm.o: In function `__ksymtab_load_gs_index':
(__ksymtab_sorted+0x5b40): undefined reference to `load_gs_index'

The Blackfin sched_clock() func is pretty much a duplicate of the common
version, so just punt it.
