With devices which have a dense and small register map but placed at a large
offset the global cache_present bitmap imposes a huge memory overhead. Making
the cache_present per rbtree node avoids the issue and easily reduces the memory
footprint by a factor of ten. For devices with a more sparse map or without a
large base register offset the memory usage might increase slightly by a few
bytes, but not significantly. E.g. for a device which has ~50 registers at
offset 0x4000 the memory footprint of the register cache goes down form 2496
bytes to 175 bytes.
Moving the bitmap to a per node basis means that the handling of the bitmap is
now cache implementation specific and can no longer be managed by the core. The
regcache_sync_block() function is extended by a additional parameter so that the
cache implementation can tell the core which registers in the block are set and
which are not. The parameter is optional and if NULL the core assumes that all
registers are set. The rbtree cache also needs to implement its own drop
callback instead of relying on the core to handle this.

Support for reducing the number of nodes and memory consumption of the rbtree
cache by allowing for small unused holes in the node's register cache block was
initially added in commit 0c7ed856 ("regmap: Cut down on the average # of nodes
in the rbtree cache"). But the commit had problems and so its effect was
reverted again in commit 4e67fb5 ("regmap: rbtree: Fix overlapping rbnodes.").
This patch brings the feature back of reducing the average number of nodes,
which will speedup node look-up, while at the same time also reducing the memory
usage of the rbtree cache. This patch takes a slightly different approach than
the original patch though. It modifies the adjacent node look-up to not only
consider nodes that are just one to the left or the right of the register but
any node that falls in a certain range around the register. The range is
calculated based on how much memory it would take to allocate a new node
compared to how much memory it takes adding a set of unused registers to an
existing node. E.g. if a node takes up 24 bytes and each register in a block
uses 1 byte the range will be from the register address - 24 to the register
address + 24. If we find a node that falls within this range it is cheaper or as
expensive to add the register to the existing node and have a couple of unused
registers in the node's cache compared to allocating a new node.

A register which is adjacent to a node will either be left to the first
register or right to the last register. It will not be within the node's range,
so there is no point in checking for each register cached by the node whether
the new register is next to it. It is sufficient to check whether the register
comes before the first register or after the last register of the node.

"cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/removable" crashed the system.
The problem is that show_mem_removable() is passing a
bad pfn to is_mem_section_removable(), which causes
if (!node_online(page_to_nid(page)))
to blow up. Why is it passing in a bad pfn?
The reason is that show_mem_removable() will loop sections_per_block
times. sections_per_block is 16, but mem->section_count is 8,
indicating holes in this memory block. Checking that the memory section
is present before checking to see if the memory section is removable
fixes the problem.

The regmap_debugfs_get_dump_start() function maps from a file offset to the
register that can be found at that position in the file. This is done using a
look-up table. Commit d6814a7d ("regmap: debugfs: Suppress cache for partial
register files") added a check to bypass the look-up table for partial register
files, since the offsets in that table are only correct for the full register
file. The check incorrectly uses the file offset instead of the register base
address and returns it. This will cause the file offset to be interpreted as a
register address which will result in a incorrect output from the registers file
for all reads except at position 0.
The issue can easily be reproduced by doing small reads the registers file, e.g.
`dd if=registers bs=10 count=5`.

There are a couple of calculations, which convert between register addresses and
block indices, in regcache_rbtree_sync() and regcache_rbtree_node_alloc() which
assume that reg_stride is 1. This will break the rb cache for configurations
which do not use a reg_stride of 1.
Also rename 'base' in regcache_rbtree_sync() to 'start' to avoid confusion with
'base_reg'.

There are two ways to set the online/offline state for a memory block:
echo 0|1 > online and echo online|online_kernel|online_movable|offline >
state.
The state attribute can online a memory block with extra data, the
"online type", where the online attribute uses a default online type of
ONLINE_KEEP, same as echo online > state.
Currently there is a state_mutex that provides consistency between the
memory block state and the underlying memory.
The problem is that this code does a lot of things that the common
device layer can do for us, such as the serialization of the
online/offline handlers using the device lock, setting the dev->offline
field, and calling kobject_uevent().
This patch refactors the online/offline code to allow the common
device_[online|offline] functions to be used. The result is a simpler
and more common code path for the two state setting mechanisms. It also
removes the state_mutex from the struct memory_block as the memory block
device lock provides the state consistency.
No functional change is intended by this patch.

The path through add_memory_section() when the memory block already
exists uses flawed refcounting logic. A get_device() is done on a
memory block using a pointer that might not be valid as we dropped
our previous reference and didn't obtain a new reference in the
proper way.
Lets stop pretending and just remove the get/put. The
mem_sysfs_mutex, which we hold over the entire init loop now, will
prevent the memory blocks from disappearing from under us.

Avoid overlapping register regions by making the initial blklen of a new
node 1. If a register write occurs to a yet uncached register, that is
lower than but near an existing node's base_reg, a new node is created
and it's blklen is set to an arbitrary value (sizeof(*rbnode)). That may
cause this node to overlap with another node. Those nodes should be merged,
but this merge doesn't happen yet, so this patch at least makes the initial
blklen small enough to avoid hitting the wrong node, which may otherwise
lead to severe breakage.

I see no reason why a virtual range shouldn't be allowed to cover its
own data window if the page selection register is in the same place
on every page.
For chips which use paged access for all of their registers, but only
when connected via I2C, and which can access the whole register space
directly when connected via SPI, this allows to avoid acrobatics with
the register ranges by simply mapping the I2C ranges over the data
window beginning at 0x0, and then using linear access for the SPI
variant.

regcache_sync_block_raw_flush() expects the address of the register after last
register that needs to be synced as its parameter. But the last call to
regcache_sync_block_raw_flush() in regcache_sync_block_raw() passes the address
of the last register in the block. This effectively always skips over the last
register in a block, even if it needs to be synced. In order to fix it increase
the address by one register.
The issue was introduced in commit 75a5f89 ("regmap: cache: Write consecutive

define_siblings_show_map/list()
arch_provides_topology_pointers was introduced in commit 23ca4bba3 (x86:
cleanup early per cpu variables/accesses v4) to indicate pointers to the
topology cpumask_t maps are valid to avoid copying data on to/off of the
stack.
But later in commit fbd59a8d (cpumask: Use topology_core_cpumask()/
topology_thread_cpumask()), the pointers to the topology struct cpumask maps
are always valid.
After that commit, the only difference is that there is a redundant
"unsigned int cpu = dev->id;" if arch_provides_topology_pointers defined, but
dev->id is type 'u32' which devolves to 'unsigned int' on all supported arches.
So this arch_provides_topology_pointers define is pointless and only cause
obfuscation now, remove it.
Tested on x86 machine, topology information in sys/devices/system/cpu/
cpuX/topology/ is the same after appling this patch set.

Pull driver core patches from Greg KH:
"Here are some driver core patches for 3.11-rc2. They aren't really
bugfixes, but a bunch of new helper macros for drivers to properly
create attribute groups, which drivers and subsystems need to fix up a
ton of race issues with incorrectly creating sysfs files (binary and
normal) after userspace has been told that the device is present.
Also here is the ability to create binary files as attribute groups,
to solve that race condition, which was impossible to do before this,
so that's my fault the drivers were broken.
The majority of the .c changes is indenting and moving code around a
bit. It affects no existing code, but allows the large backlog of 70+
patches that I already have created to start flowing into the
different subtrees, instead of having to live in my driver-core tree,
causing merge nightmares in linux-next for the next few months.
These were finalized too late for the -rc1 merge window, which is why
they were didn't make that pull request, testing and review from
others didn't happen until a few weeks ago, and then there's the whole
distraction of the past few days, which prevented these from getting
to you sooner, sorry about that.
Oh, and there's a bugfix for the documentation build warning in here
as well. All of these have been in linux-next this week, with no
reported problems"
