In an effort to get fewer checkpatch reviewer corrections, add a
networking specific style test for the preferred networking comment style.
/* The preferred style for block comments in
* drivers/net/... and net/... is like this
*/
These tests are only used in net/ and drivers/net/
Tested with:
$ cat drivers/net/t.c
/* foo */
/*
* foo
*/
/* foo
*/
/* foo
* bar */
$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f drivers/net/t.c
WARNING: networking block comments don't use an empty /* line, use /* Comment...
#4: FILE: net/t.c:4:

+/*
WARNING: networking block comments put the trailing */ on a separate line
#12: FILE: net/t.c:12:

Direct conversion of printk(KERN_<LEVEL>... to pr_<level> isn't the
preferred conversion when a struct net_device or struct device is
available.
Hint that using netdev_<level> or dev_<level> is preferred to using
pr_<level>. Add netdev_dbg and dev_dbg variants too.
Miscellaneous whitespace neatening of a misplaced close brace.

SG mapping iterator w/ SG_MITER_ATOMIC set required IRQ disabled because
it originally used KM_BIO_SRC_IRQ to allow use from IRQ handlers.
kmap_atomic() has long been updated to handle stacking atomic mapping
requests on per-cpu basis and only requires not sleeping while mapped.
Update sg_mapping_iter such that atomic iterators only require disabling
preemption instead of disabling IRQ.
While at it, convert wte weird @ARG@ notations to @ARG in the comment of
sg_miter_start().

Xen's pciback points out a couple of deficiencies with vsscanf()'s
standard conformance:
- Trailing character matching cannot be checked by the caller: With a
format string of "(%x:%x.%x) %n" absence of the closing parenthesis
cannot be checked, as input of "(00:00.0)" doesn't cause the %n to be
evaluated (because of the code not skipping white space before the
trailing %n).
- The parameter corresponding to a trailing %n could get filled even if
there was a matching error: With a format string of "(%x:%x.%x)%n",
input of "(00:00.0]" would still fill the respective variable pointed to
(and hence again make the mismatch non-detectable by the caller).
This patch aims at fixing those, but leaves other non-conforming aspects
of it untouched, among them these possibly relevant ones:
- improper handling of the assignment suppression character '*' (blindly
discarding all succeeding non-white space from the format and input
strings),
- not honoring conversion specifiers for %n, - not recognizing the C99
conversion specifier 't' (recognized by vsprintf()).

The logic in do_raw_spin_lock() attempts to acquire a spinlock by invoking
arch_spin_trylock() in a loop with a delay between each attempt. Now
consider the following situation in a 2 CPU system:
1. CPU-0 continually acquires and releases a spinlock in a
tight loop; it stays in this loop until some condition X
is satisfied. X can only be satisfied by another CPU.
2. CPU-1 tries to acquire the same spinlock, in an attempt
to satisfy the aforementioned condition X. However, it
never sees the unlocked value of the lock because the
debug spinlock code uses trylock instead of just lock;
it checks at all the wrong moments - whenever CPU-0 has
locked the lock.
Now in the absence of debug spinlocks, the architecture specific spinlock
code can correctly allow CPU-1 to wait in a "queue" (e.g., ticket
spinlocks), ensuring that it acquires the lock at some point. However,
with the debug spinlock code, livelock can easily occur due to the use of
try_lock, which obviously cannot put the CPU in that "queue". This
queueing mechanism is implemented in both x86 and ARM spinlock code.
Note that the situation mentioned above is not hypothetical. A real
problem was encountered where CPU-0 was running hrtimer_cancel with
interrupts disabled, and CPU-1 was attempting to run the hrtimer that
CPU-0 was trying to cancel.
Address this by actually attempting arch_spin_lock once it is suspected
that there is a spinlock lockup. If we're in a situation that is
described above, the arch_spin_lock should succeed; otherwise other
timeout mechanisms (e.g., watchdog) should alert the system of a lockup.
Therefore, if there is a genuine system problem and the spinlock can't be
acquired, the end result (irrespective of this change being present) is
the same. If there is a livelock caused by the debug code, this change
will allow the lock to be acquired, depending on the implementation of the
lower level arch specific spinlock code.

Premit use of another algorithm than the default first-fit one. For
example a custom algorithm could be used to manage alignment requirements.
As I can't predict all the possible requirements/needs for all allocation
uses cases, I add a "free" field 'void *data' to pass any needed
information to the allocation function. For example 'data' could be used
to handle a structure where you store the alignment, the expected memory
bank, the requester device, or any information that could influence the
allocation algorithm.
An usage example may look like this:
struct my_pool_constraints {
int align;
int bank;
...
};
unsigned long my_custom_algo(unsigned long *map, unsigned long size,
unsigned long start, unsigned int nr, void *data)
{
struct my_pool_constraints *constraints = data;
...
deal with allocation contraints
...
return the index in bitmap where perform the allocation
}
void create_my_pool()
{
struct my_pool_constraints c;
struct gen_pool *pool = gen_pool_create(...);
gen_pool_add(pool, ...);
gen_pool_set_algo(pool, my_custom_algo, &c);
}
Add of best-fit algorithm function:
most of the time best-fit is slower then first-fit but memory fragmentation
is lower. The random buffer allocation/free tests don't show any arithmetic
relation between the allocation time and fragmentation but the
best-fit algorithm
is sometime able to perform the allocation when the first-fit can't.
This new algorithm help to remove static allocations on ESRAM, a small but
fast on-chip RAM of few KB, used for high-performance uses cases like DMA
linked lists, graphic accelerators, encoders/decoders. On the Ux500
(in the ARM tree) we have define 5 ESRAM banks of 128 KB each and use of
static allocations becomes unmaintainable:
cd arch/arm/mach-ux500 && grep -r ESRAM .
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:/* Base address and bank offsets for ESRAM */
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BASE 0x40000000

I want to use genalloc to do dynamic allocations but I need to be able to

The result of converting an integer value to another signed integer type
that's unable to represent the original value is implementation defined.
(See notes in section 6.3.1.3 of the C standard.)
In match_number(), the result of simple_strtol() (which returns type long)
is assigned to a value of type int.
Instead, handle the result of simple_strtol() in a well-defined way, and
return -ERANGE if the result won't fit in the int variable used to hold
the parsed result.
No current callers pay attention to the particular error value returned,
so this additional return code shouldn't do any harm.

orderly_poweroff is trying to poweroff platform in two steps:
step 1: Call user space application to poweroff
step 2: If user space poweroff fail, then do a force power off if force param
is set.
The bug here is, step 1 is always successful with param UMH_NO_WAIT, which obey
the design goal of orderly_poweroff.
We have two choices here:
UMH_WAIT_EXEC which means wait for the exec, but not the process;
UMH_WAIT_PROC which means wait for the process to complete.
we need to trade off the two choices:
If using UMH_WAIT_EXEC, there is potential issue comments by Serge E.
Hallyn: The exec will have started, but may for whatever (very unlikely)
reason fail.
If using UMH_WAIT_PROC, there is potential issue comments by Eric W.
Biederman: If the caller is not running in a kernel thread then we can
easily get into a case where the user space caller will block waiting for
us when we are waiting for the user space caller.
Thanks for their excellent ideas, based on the above discussion, we
finally choose UMH_WAIT_EXEC, which is much more safe, if the user
application really fails, we just complain the application itself, it
seems a better choice here.

As kernel_power_off() calls disable_nonboot_cpus(), we may also want to
have kernel_restart() call disable_nonboot_cpus(). Doing so can help
machines that require boot cpu be the last alive cpu during reboot to
survive with kernel restart.
This fixes one reboot issue seen on imx6q (Cortex-A9 Quad). The machine
requires that the restart routine be run on the primary cpu rather than
secondary ones. Otherwise, the secondary core running the restart
routine will fail to come to online after reboot.

Historically, the top three bytes of personality have been used for
things such as ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE, which made sense only for specific
architectures.
We now however have a flag there that is general no matter the
architecture (UNAME26); generally we have to be careful to preserve the
personality flags across exec().
This patch fixes tile architecture not to forcefully overwrite
personality flags during exec().
In addition to that, we fix two other things along the way:
- exec_domain switching is fixed -- set_personality() should always
be used instead of directly assigning to current->personality.
- as pointed out by Arnd Bergmann, PER_LINUX_32BIT is not used anywhere
by tile, so let's just drop that in favor of PER_LINUX
