This patch kills the 'ubi->dbg_peb_buf' debugging buffer and the
associated mutex, because all users of this buffer are now gone.
We are killing this buffer because we are going to switch to
dynamic debugging control, just like in UBIFS, which means that
CONFIG_MTD_UBI_DEBUG_PARANOID will be removed. In this case we'd
end up always allocating 'ubi->dbg_peb_buf', which is rather large
(128KiB or more), and this would be wasteful. Thus, we are just
killing it.

Instead of using pre-allocated 'ubi->dbg_peb_buf' buffer in
'ubi_dbg_check_write()', dynamically allocate it when needed. The
intend is to get rid of the pre-allocated 'ubi->dbg_peb_buf' buffer
completely. And the need for this arises because we want to change
to dynamic debugging control instead of compile-time control, i.e.,
we are going to kill the CONFIG_MTD_UBI_DEBUG_PARANOID Kconfig
option, which would mean that 'ubi->dbg_peb_buf' is always allocated,
which would be wasteful.
Thus, we are getting rid of 'ubi->dbg_peb_buf', and this is a
preparation for that.

Currently UBI erases all corrupted eraseblocks, irrespectively of the nature
of corruption: corruption due to power cuts and non-power cut corruption.
The former case is OK, but the latter is not, because UBI may destroy
potentially important data.
With this patch, during scanning, when UBI hits a PEB with corrupted VID
header, it checks whether this PEB contains only 0xFF data. If yes, it is
safe to erase this PEB and it is put to the 'erase' list. If not, this may
be important data and it is better to avoid erasing this PEB. Instead,
UBI puts it to the corr list and moves out of the pool of available PEB.
IOW, UBI preserves this PEB.
Such corrupted PEB lessen the amount of available PEBs. So the more of them
we accumulate, the less PEBs are available. The maximum amount of non-power
cut corrupted PEBs is 8.
This patch is a response to UBIFS problem where reporter
(Matthew L. Creech <mlcreech@gmail.com>) observes that UBIFS index points
to an unmapped LEB. The theory is that corresponding PEB somehow got
corrupted and UBI wiped it. This patch (actually a series of patches)
tries to make sure such PEBs are preserved - this would make it is easier
to analyze the corruption.

Currently UBI has one small flaw - when we read EC or VID header, but find only
0xFF bytes, we return UBI_IO_FF and do not report whether we had bit-flips or
not. In case of the VID header, the scanning code adds this PEB to the free list,
even though there were bit-flips.
Imagine the following situation: we start writing VID header to a PEB and have a
power cut, so the PEB becomes unstable. When we scan and read the PEB, we get
a bit-flip. Currently, UBI would just ignore this and treat the PEB as free. This
patch changes UBI behavior and now UBI will schedule this PEB for erasure.

The 'UBI_IO_PEB_EMPTY' and 'UBI_IO_PEB_FREE' are essentially the same
and mean that there are only 0xFF bytes instead of headers. Simplify
UBI a little by turning them into a single 'UBI_IO_FF' error code.
Also, stop maintaining commentaries in 'ubi_io_read_vid_hdr()' which are
almost identical to commentaries in 'ubi_io_read_ec_hdr()'.

Rename UBI_IO_BAD_HDR_READ into UBI_IO_BAD_HDR_EBADMSG which is presumably more
self-documenting and readable. Indeed, the '_READ' suffix does not tell much and
even confuses, while '_EBADMSG' tells about uncorrectable ECC error, because we
use -EBADMSG all over the place to represent ECC errors.

This patch introduces the %UBI_IO_BAD_HDR_READ return code for
the I/O level function. We will use this code in order to distinguish
between "corrupted header possibly because this is non-ubi data" and
"corrupted header possibly because of real data corruption and ECC error".
So far this patch does not introduce any functional change, just a
preparation.

We do not really need 2 separate error codes for indicating bad VID
and bad EC headers (UBI_IO_BAD_EC_HDR, UBI_IO_BAD_VID_HDR), it is
enough to have only one UBI_IO_BAD_HDR return code.

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

This commit fixes NOR flash recovery issues observed with Spansion
S29GL512N NOR.
When NOR erases, it first fills PEBs with zeroes, then sets all bytes
to 0xFF. Filling with zeroes starts from the end of the PEB. And when
power is cut, this results in PEBs containing correct EC and VID headers
but corrupted with zeros at the end. This confuses UBI and it mistakinly
accepts these PEBs and associate them with LEBs.
Fis this issue by zeroing EC and VID magics before erasing PEBs, to
make UBI later refuse zem.

UBI volume notifications are intended to create the API to get clients
notified about volume creation/deletion, renaming and re-sizing. A
client can subscribe to these notifications using 'ubi_volume_register()'
and cancel the subscription using 'ubi_volume_unregister()'. When UBI
volumes change, a blocking notifier is called. Clients also can request
"added" events on all volumes that existed before client subscribed
to the notifications.
If we use notifications instead of calling functions like 'ubi_gluebi_xxx()',
we can make the MTD emulation layer to be more flexible: build it as a
separate module and load/unload it on demand.
[Artem: many cleanups, rework locking, add "updated" event, provide
device/volume info in notifiers]

This patch improves UBI errors handling. ATM UBI switches to
R/O mode when the WL worker fails to read the source PEB.
This means that the upper layers (e.g., UBIFS) has no
chances to unmap the erroneous PEB and fix the error.
This patch changes this behaviour and makes UBI put PEBs
like this into a separate RB-tree, thus preventing the
WL worker from hitting the same read errors again and
again.
But there is a 10% limit on a maximum amount of PEBs like this.
If there are too much of them, UBI switches to R/O mode.
Additionally, this patch teaches UBI not to panic and
switch to R/O mode if after a PEB has been copied, the
target LEB cannot be read back. Instead, now UBI cancels
the operation and schedules the target PEB for torturing.
The error paths has been tested by ingecting errors
into 'ubi_eba_copy_leb()'.

The problem: NAND flashes have different amount of initial bad physical
eraseblocks (marked as bad by the manufacturer). For example, for 256MiB
Samsung OneNAND flash there might be from 0 to 40 bad initial eraseblocks,
which is about 2%. When UBI is used as the base system, one needs to know
the exact amount of good physical eraseblocks, because this number is
needed to create the UBI image which is put to the devices during
production. But this number is not know, which forces us to use the
minimum number of good physical eraseblocks. And UBI additionally
reserves some percentage of physical eraseblocks for bad block handling
(default is 1%), so we have 1-3% of PEBs reserved at the end, depending
on the amount of initial bad PEBs. But it is desired to always have
1% (or more, depending on the configuration).
Solution: this patch adds an "auto-resize" flag to the volume table.
The volume which has the "auto-resize" flag will automatically be re-sized
(enlarged) on the first UBI initialization. UBI clears the flag when
the volume is re-sized. Only one volume may have the "auto-resize" flag.
So, the production UBI image may have one volume with "auto-resize"
flag set, and its size is automatically adjusted on the first boot
of the device.
