The driver now accepts two memory resources, the first one for the channel-specific registers, the second one for the controller-specific registers. Note that older devicetrees, without this commit, will still work with the jz4780-dma driver.

Func jz4780_dma_desc_residue() expects the index to the next hw descriptor as its last parameter. Caller func jz4780_dma_tx_status(), however, applied modulus before passing it. When the current hw descriptor was last in the list, the index passed became zero. The resulting excess of reported residue especially caused problems with cyclic DMA transfer clients, i.e. ALSA AIC audio output, which rely on this for determining current DMA location within buffer. Combined with the recent and related residue-reporting fixes, spurious ALSA audio underruns on jz4770 hardware are now fixed.

Normally, we wouldn't set the channel transfer count register directly when using descriptor-driven transfers. However, there is no harm in doing so, and it allows jz4780_dma_desc_residue() to report the correct residue of an ongoing transfer, no matter when it is called.

The 'dtc' word in jz DMA descriptors contains two fields: The lowest 24 bits are the transfer count, and upper 8 bits are the DOA offset to next descriptor. The upper 8 bits are now correctly masked off when computing residue in jz4780_dma_desc_residue(). Note that reads of the DTCn hardware reg are automatically masked this way.

If we make this driver depend on MACH_JZ4780, that means it can be enabled only if we're building a kernel specially crafted for a JZ4780-based board, while most GNU/Linux distributions will want one generic MIPS kernel that works on multiple boards.

The only information we use in the 8-word version of the hardware DMA descriptor that is not present in the 4-word version is the transfer type, aka. the ID of the source or recipient device. Since the transfer type will never change for a DMA channel in use, we can just set it once for all in the corresponding DMA register before starting any transfer. This has several benefits: * the driver will handle twice as many hardware DMA descriptors; * the driver is closer to support the JZ4740, which only supports 4-word hardware DMA descriptors; * the JZ4770 SoC needs the transfer type to be set in the corresponding DMA register anyway, even if 8-word descriptors are in use.

The register area of the JZ4780 DMA core can be split into different sections for different purposes: * one set of registers is used to perform actions at the DMA core level, that will generally affect all channels; * one set of registers per DMA channel, to perform actions at the DMA channel level, that will only affect the channel in question. The problem rises when trying to support new versions of the JZ47xx Ingenic SoC. For instance, the JZ4770 has two DMA cores, each one with six DMA channels, and the register sets are interleaved: <DMA0 chan regs> <DMA1 chan regs> <DMA0 ctrl regs> <DMA1 ctrl regs> By using one memory resource for the channel-specific registers and one memory resource for the core-specific registers, we can support the JZ4770, by initializing the driver once per DMA core with different addresses.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.19_dax-memory-failure' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm Pull libnvdimm memory-failure update from Dave Jiang: "As it stands, memory_failure() gets thoroughly confused by dev_pagemap backed mappings. The recovery code has specific enabling for several possible page states and needs new enabling to handle poison in dax mappings. In order to support reliable reverse mapping of user space addresses: 1/ Add new locking in the memory_failure() rmap path to prevent races that would typically be handled by the page lock. 2/ Since dev_pagemap pages are hidden from the page allocator and the "compound page" accounting machinery, add a mechanism to determine the size of the mapping that encompasses a given poisoned pfn. 3/ Given pmem errors can be repaired, change the speculatively accessed poison protection, mce_unmap_kpfn(), to be reversible and otherwise allow ongoing access from the kernel. A side effect of this enabling is that MADV_HWPOISON becomes usable for dax mappings, however the primary motivation is to allow the system to survive userspace consumption of hardware-poison via dax.

This is not normally noticeable, but repeated forks are unnecessarily expensive because they repeatedly dirty the parent page tables during the page table copy operation. It's trivial to just avoid write protecting the page table entry if it was already not writable. This patch was inspired by https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200447 which points to an ancient "waste time re-doing fork" issue in the presence of lots of signals. That bug was fixed by Eric Biederman's signal handling series culminating in commit c3ad2c3b ("signal: Don't restart fork when signals come in"), but the unnecessary work for repeated forks is still work just fixing, particularly since the fix is trivial.

Pull IOMMU updates from Joerg Roedel: - PASID table handling updates for the Intel VT-d driver. It implements a global PASID space now so that applications usings multiple devices will just have one PASID. - A new config option to make iommu passthroug mode the default. - New sysfs attribute for iommu groups to export the type of the default domain. - A debugfs interface (for debug only) usable by IOMMU drivers to export internals to user-space. - R-Car Gen3 SoCs support for the ipmmu-vmsa driver - The ARM-SMMU now aborts transactions from unknown devices and devices not attached to any domain. - Various cleanups and smaller fixes all over the place. * tag 'iommu-updates-v4.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu: (42 commits) iommu/omap: Fix cache flushes on L2 table entries iommu: Remove the ->map_sg indirection iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Abort all transactions if SMMU is enabled in kdump kernel iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Prevent any devices access to memory without registration iommu/ipmmu-vmsa: Don't register as BUS IOMMU if machine doesn't have IPMMU-VMSA iommu/ipmmu-vmsa: Clarify supported platforms iommu/ipmmu-vmsa: Fix allocation in atomic context iommu: Add config option to set passthrough as default iommu: Add sysfs attribyte for domain type iommu/arm-smmu-v3: sync the OVACKFLG to PRIQ consumer register iommu/arm-smmu: Error out only if not enough context interrupts iommu/io-pgtable-arm-v7s: Abort allocation when table address overflows the PTE iommu/io-pgtable-arm: Fix pgtable allocation in selftest iommu/vt-d: Remove the obsolete per iommu pasid tables iommu/vt-d: Apply per pci device pasid table in SVA iommu/vt-d: Allocate and free pasid table iommu/vt-d: Per PCI device pasid table interfaces iommu/vt-d: Add for_each_device_domain() helper iommu/vt-d: Move device_domain_info to header iommu/vt-d: Apply global PASID in SVA ...
