Linus Walleij 93ac5a552c ARM: platform data to use the FSMC NAND with the U300
Just as it says, if this is merged along with the other patch, the
driver supports the U300 NAND flash interface.

Florian Fainelli bc49c28962 mtd: add Broadcom BCM63xx image tag partition parser
This patch adds support for parsing Broadcom BCM63xx image tag format and
creating MTD partitions accordingly. This driver is a platform_device which
can be instantiated accordingly by bcm63xx board support code.

Lei Wen c1f82478c5 mtd: pxa3xx_nand: condense the flash definition
Adding a new flash definition would need less code.
Keep the platform passing flash definition method.
If one flash is both defined in platform data and builtin table,
driver would select the one from platform data first.

By this way, platform could select the timing most suit for itself,
not need to follow the common settings.

David Howells 62bdb288bf MN10300: Handle missing sys_cacheflush() when caching disabled
When caching is disabled on the MN10300 arch, the sys_cacheflush()
function is removed by conditional stuff in the makefiles, but is still
referred to by the syscall table.

Provide a null version that just returns 0 when caching is disabled (or
-EINVAL if the arguments are silly).

Will Deacon 2de59fea8b ARM: 6411/1: vexpress: set RAM latencies to 1 cycle for PL310 on ct-ca9x4 tile
The PL310 on the ct-ca9x4 tile for the Versatile Express does not need
to add additional latency when accessing its cache RAMs. Unfortunately,
the boot monitor sets this up for an 8-cycle delay on reads and writes,
resulting in greatly reduced memory performance when the L2 cache is
enabled.

This patch sets the L2 RAM latencies to the correct value of 1 cycle
on the ct-ca9x4 tile before enabling the L2 cache.

Alexander Chumachenko c9e2fbd909 x86: Avoid 'constant_test_bit()' misoptimization due to cast to non-volatile
While debugging bit_spin_lock() hang, it was tracked down to gcc-4.4
misoptimization of non-inlined constant_test_bit() due to non-volatile
addr when 'const volatile unsigned long *addr' cast to 'unsigned long *'
with subsequent unconditional jump to pause (and not to the test) leading
to hang.

Compiling with gcc-4.3 or disabling CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING yields inlined
constant_test_bit() and correct jump, thus working around the kernel bug.

Other arches than asm-x86 may implement this slightly differently;
2.6.29 mitigates the misoptimization by changing the function prototype
(commit c4295fbb60) but probably fixing the issue
itself is better.

Al Viro 77edffb652 alpha: fix hae_cache race in RESTORE_ALL
We want interrupts disabled on all paths leading to RESTORE_ALL;
otherwise, we are risking an IRQ coming between the updates of
alpha_mv->hae_cache and *alpha_mv->hae_register and set_hae()
within the IRQ getting badly confused.

RESTORE_ALL used to play with disabling IRQ itself, but that got
removed back in 2002, without making sure we had them disabled
on all paths.  It's cheaper to make sure we have them disabled than
to revert to original variant...

Remove the detritus left from that commit back in 2002; we used to
need a reload of $0 and $1 since swpipl would change those, but
doing that had become pointless when we stopped doing swpipl in
there...

Santosh Shilimkar e546f21b4b ARM: 6408/1: omap: Map only available sram memory
Currently we map 1 MB section while setting up SRAM on OMAPs
Regardless of the actual memory. The physical OCM RAM available
on OMAP SOCs is in order of KBs. This patch maps only available
sram and cleans up some un-necessary cpu_is_xxx checks.

Mapping un-available or non-accessible(secure) memory on the newer ARM
processor is dangerous. Because ARM CPUs can now speculatively prefetch,
we should avoid mapping any no-existing or secure memory.

This patch populates the L1 entries for MT_MEMORY and MT_MEMORY_NONCACHED
types so that at boot-up, we can map memories outside system memory

Previously the mapping was limiting to section level, which creates

present. On the newer ARM with speculation, this is dangerous and can
result in untraceable aborts.

Chris Metcalf ea44e06e79 arch/tile: remove dead code from intvec_32.S
This "bpt_code" instruction was killed off in our development line a while
ago (the actual definition of bpt_code that is used is in kernel/traps.c)
but I didn't push it for 2.6.36 because it seemed harmless and I didn't
want to try to push more than absolutely necessary.

However, we recently fixed a bug in our gcc that had been causing
"-gdwarf2" not to be passed to the assembler, and passing this flag causes
an erroneous assembler failure in the presence of code in a data section,
sometimes.  While we'd like to track down the bug in the assembler,
we'd also like to make sure 2.6.36 builds with the current toolchain,
so I'm removing this dead code as well.

Nicolas Pitre 2f27bf834e ARM: 6401/1: plug a race in the alignment trap handler
When the policy for user space is to ignore misaligned accesses from user
space, the processor then performs a documented rotation on the accessed
data.  This is the result of the access being trapped, and the kernel
disabling the alignment trap before returning to user space again.

In kernel space we always want misaligned accesses to be fixed up.  This
is enforced by always re-enabling the alignment trap on every entry into
kernel space from user space.  No such re-enabling is performed when an
exception occurs while already in kernel space as the alignment trap is
always supposed to be enabled in that case.

There is however a small race window when a misaligned access in user
space is trapped and the alignment trap disabled, but the CPU didn't
return to user space just yet.  Any exception would be entered from kernel
space at that point and the kernel would then execute with the alignment
trap disabled.

Thanks to Maxime Bizon <mbizon@freebox.fr> for providing a test module
that made this issue reproducible.

Peter Korsgaard 1d5b4c0fa9 ARM: 6406/1: at91sam9g45: fix i2c bus speed
Use a correct udelay value to get bus speed around 100KHz. The udelay
value was most likely copied from the older devices, but the 9g45
is signicantly faster (400MHz, DDR, ..), so a udelay of 2 gives a
bus speed of around 190KHz, which is too fast for some devices.
A udelay value of 5 gives a bus speed of around 90KHz here.
