Kyle McMartin 7210c67820 [PARISC] fix uninitialized variable warning in asm/rtc.h
get_rtc_time, in the case that PDC returns that the battery is bad, returns
an unmodified rtc_time arg to the caller, which then uses uninitialized
values. Fix this by memset-ing the arg with zeroes, so it will at least be
cleared if we return failure.

Milton Miller 437374e9a9 kbuild: restore arch/{ppc/xtensa}/boot cflags
Commit 9a39e273d4 removed the boot directory
addition to CFLAGS that was being used by the subdirectory builds.  For the
other files, that patch set EXTRA_CFLAGS, but Makefile.build explicitly
sets that to empty as it is explicitly for a single directory only.
Append to KBUILD_CFLAGS instead.

Linus Torvalds e8b8c97773 Revert "kconfig: tristate choices with mixed tristate and boolean values"
This reverts commit a5bf3d891a.

David Brownell notes that this causes a regression visible in the
drivers/usb/gadget Kconfig file:

  "That Kconfig hasn't changed (other than adding new drivers), and it's
   worked that way for several years now ...  so the issue seems to be
   changes in menuconfig/kconfig/etc semantics.

   The issue is that when USB_GADGET=m, it's no longer possible to
   configure peripheral controller drivers as modules ...  the
   controller drivers can now only be configured for static linkage.

   It should be making a choice of one of the controller drivers which
   could work on the target system, and allow that driver to be linked
   either as a module (ok iff USB_GADGET=m) or statically."

Reverting this commit resolves the problem, and also fixes a second
problem that David noticed: various dependent options couldn't be enabled.

Dave Wysochanski fe97e2aa05 dm mpath: hp retry if not ready
This patch adds retries to the hp hardware handler, and utilizes the
MP_RETRY flag of dm-multipath.  For now in the hp handler, if we get a
pg_init completed with a check condition we just assume we can retry the
pg_init command.  We make this assumption because of incomplete data on
specific check condition code of the HP hardware, and because testing
has shown the HP path initialization command to be idempotent.
The number of times we retry is settable via the "pg_init_retries"
multipath map feature.

Dave Wysochanski c9e45581ad dm mpath: add retry pg init
This patch allows a failed path group initialisation command to be retried.

It adds a generic MP_RETRY flag and a "pg_init_retries" feature to
device-mapper multipath which limits the number of retries.

1. A hw handler sends a path initialization command to the storage and
the command completes with an error code indicating the command
should be retried.

2. The hardware handler calls dm_pg_init_complete() with MP_RETRY
set in err_flags to ask the dm multipath core to retry.

3. If the retry limit has not been exceeded, pg_init() is retried.
Otherwise fail_path() is called.

If you are using the userspace multipath-tools or device-mapper-multipath
package, you can set pg_init_retries in the 'device' section of your
/etc/multipath.conf file. For example:

features                "2 pg_init_retries 7"

The number of PG retries attempted is reported in the 'dmsetup status' output.
