So my original plan was that the drm core refcounts framebuffers like with the legacy ioctls. But that doesn't work for a bunch of reasons: - State objects might live longer than until the next fb change happens for a plane. For example delayed cleanup work only happens _after_ the pageflip ioctl has completed. So this definitely doesn't work without the plane state holding its own references. - The other issue is transition from legacy to atomic implementations, where the driver works under a mix of both worlds. Which means legacy paths might not properly update the ->fb pointer under plane->state->fb. Which is a bit a problem when then someone comes around and _does_ try to clean it up when it's long gone. The second issue is just a bit a transition bug, since drivers should update plane->state->fb in all the paths that aren't converted yet. But a bit more robustness for the transition can't hurt - we pull similar tricks with cleaning up the old fb in the transitional helpers already. The pattern for drivers that transition is if (plane->state) drm_atomic_set_fb_for_plane(plane->state, plane->fb); inserted after the fb update has logically completed at the end of ->set_config (or ->set_base/mode_set if using the crtc helpers), ->page_flip, ->update_plane or any other entry point which updates plane->fb. v2: Update kerneldoc - copypasta fail. v3: Fix spelling in the commit message (Sean).

The atomic users and helpers assume that there is always a obj->state structure around. Which means drivers need to somehow create that at driver load time. Also it should obviously reset hardware state, so needs to be reset upon resume. Finally the destroy/duplicate_state functions are an awful lot of boilerplate if the driver doesn't need anything beyond the default state objects. So add helper functions for all of this. v2: Somehow the plane/connector versions got lost in the first version. v3: Add kerneldoc. v4: Make duplicate_state functions a bit more robust, which is useful for debugging state tracking issues when transitioning to atomic. v5: Clear temporary variables in the crtc state when duplicating it, like ->mode_changed or ->planes_changed. If we don't do this stale values for these might pollute the next atomic modeset. v6: Also clear crtc_state->event in case the driver didn't (yet) clear this out. v7: Split out wrong squashed commit. Also improve the kerneldoc to mention that obj->state can be NULL and when. Both suggested by Daniel Thompson.

Currently there is no way to implement async flips using atomic, that essentially requires us to be able to cancel pending requests mid-flight. To be able to do that (and I guess we want this since vblank synced updates which opportunistically cancel still pending updates seem to be wanted) we'd need to add a mandatory cancellation mode. Depending upon the exact semantics we decide upon that could mean that userspace will not get completion events, or will get them all stacked up. So reject async updates for now. Also async updates usually means not vblank synced at all, and I guess for drivers which want to support this they should simply add a special pageflip handler (since usually you need a special flip cmd to achieve this). That kind of async flip is pretty much exclusively just used for games and benchmarks where dropping just one frame means you'll get a headshot or something bad like that ... And so slight amounts of tearing is acceptable. v2: Fixup kerneldoc, reported by Paulo. v3: Use the set_crtc_for_plane function to assign the crtc, since otherwise the book-keeping is off. v4: Update crtc->primary->fb since ->page_flip is the only driver callback where the core won't do this itself. We might want to fix this inconsistency eventually. v5: Use set_crtc_for_connector as suggested by Sean. v6: Daniel Thompson noticed that my error handling is inconsistent and that in a few cases I didn't handle fatal errors (i.e. not -EDEADLK). Fix this by consolidate the ww mutex backoff handling into one check in the fail: block and flatten the error control flow everywhere else. v7: Fix spelling mistake in the commit message (Sean).

This patch is for enabling async commits. It replaces an earlier approach which added an async boolean paramter to the ->prepare_fb callbacks. The idea is that prepare_fb picks up the right fence to synchronize against, which is then used by the synchronous commit helper. For async commits drivers can either register a callback to the fence or simply do the synchronous wait in their async work queue. v2: Remove unused variable. v3: Only wait for fences after the point of no return in the part of the commit function which can be run asynchronously. This is after the atomic state has been swapped in, hence now check plane->state->fence. Also add a WARN_ON to make sure we don't try to wait on a fence when there's no fb, just as a sanity check.

Well, except page_flip since that requires async commit, which isn't there yet. For the functions which changes planes there's a bit of trickery involved to keep the fb refcounting working. But otherwise fairly straight-forward atomic updates. The property setting functions are still a bit incomplete. Once we have generic properties (e.g. rotation, but also all the properties needed by the atomic ioctl) we need to filter those out and parse them in the helper. Preferrably with the same function as used by the real atomic ioctl implementation. v2: Fixup kerneldoc, reported by Paulo. v3: Add missing EXPORT_SYMBOL. v4: We need to look at the crtc of the modeset, not some random leftover one from a previous loop when udpating the connector->crtc routing. Also push some local variables into inner loops to avoid these kinds of bugs. v5: Adjust semantics - drivers now own the atomic state upon successfully synchronous commit. v6: Use the set_crtc_for_plane function to assign the crtc, since otherwise the book-keeping is off. v7: - Improve comments. - Filter out the crtc of the ->set_config call when recomputing crtc_state->enabled: We should compute the same state, but not doing so will give us a good chance to catch bugs and inconsistencies - the atomic helper's atomic_check function re-validates this again. - Fix the set_config implementation logic when disabling the crtc: We still need to update the output routing to disable all the connectors properly in the state. Caught by the atomic_check functions, so at least that part worked ;-) Also add some WARN_ONs to ensure ->set_config preconditions all apply. v8: Fixup an embarrassing h/vdisplay mixup. v9: Shuffled bad squash to the right patch, spotted by Daniel v10: Use set_crtc_for_connector as suggested by Sean. v11: Daniel Thompson noticed that my error handling is inconsistent and that in a few cases I didn't handle fatal errors (i.e. not -EDEADLK). Fix this by consolidate the ww mutex backoff handling into one check in the fail: block and flatten the error control flow everywhere else. v12: Review and discussion with Sean: - One spelling fix. - Correctly skip the crtc from the set_config set when recomputing ->enable state. That should allow us to catch any bugs in higher levels in computing that state (which is supplied to the ->set_config implementation). I've screwed this up and Sean spotted that the current code is pointless.

So this is finally the integration of the crtc and plane helper interfaces into the atomic helper functions. In the check function we now have a few steps: - First we update the output routing and figure out which crtcs need a full mode set. Suitable encoders are selected using ->best_encoder, with the same semantics as the crtc helpers of implicitly disabling all connectors currently using the encoder. - Then we pull all other connectors into the state update which feed from a crtc which changes. This must be done do catch mode changes and similar updates - atomic updates are differences on top of the current state. - Then we call all the various ->mode_fixup to compute the adjusted mode. Note that here we have a slight semantic difference compared to the crtc helpers: We have not yet updated the encoder->crtc link when calling the encoder's ->mode_fixup function. But that's a requirement when converting to atomic since we want to prepare the entire state completely contained with the over drm_atomic_state structure. So this must be carefully checked when converting drivers over to atomic helpers. - Finally we do call the atomic_check functions on planes and crtcs. The commit function is also quite a beast: - The only step that can fail is done first, namely pinning the framebuffers. After that we cross the point of no return, an async commit would push all that into the worker thread. - The disabling of encoders and connectors is a bit tricky, since depending upon the final state we need to select different crtc helper functions. - Software tracking is a bit clarified compared to the crtc helpers: We commit the software state before starting to touch the hardware, like crtc helpers. But since we just swap them we still have the old state (i.e. the current hw state) around, which is really handy to write simple disable functions. So no more drm_crtc_helper_disable_all_unused_functions kind of fun because we're leaving unused crtcs/encoders behind. Everything gets shut down in-order now, which is one of the key differences of the i915 helpers compared to crtc helpers and a really nice additional guarantee. - Like with the plane helpers the atomic commit function waits for one vblank to pass before calling the framebuffer cleanup function. Compared to Rob's helper approach there's a bunch of upsides: - All the interfaces which can fail are called in the ->check hook (i.e. ->best_match and the various ->mode_fixup hooks). This means that drivers can just reuse those functions and don't need to move everything into ->atomic_check callbacks. If drivers have no need for additional constraint checking beyong their existing crtc helper callbacks they don't need to do anything. - The actual commit operation is properly stage: First we prepare framebuffers, which can potentially still fail (due to memory exhausting). This is important for the async case, where this must be done synchronously to correctly return errors. - The output configuration changes (done with crtc helper functions) and the plane update (using atomic plane helpers) are correctly interleaved: First we shut down any crtcs that need changing, then we update planes and finally we enable everything again. Hardware without GO bits must be more careful with ordering, which this sequence enables. - Also for hardware with shared output resources (like display PLLs) we first must shut down the old configuration before we can enable the new one. Otherwise we can hit an impossible intermediate state where there's not enough PLLs (which is the point behind atomic updates). v2: - Ensure that users of ->check update crtc_state->enable correctly. - Update the legacy state in crtc/plane structures. Eventually we want to remove that, but for now the drm core still expects this (especially the plane->fb pointer). v3: A few changes for better async handling: - Reorder the software side state commit so that it happens all before we touch the hardware. This way async support becomes very easy since we can punt all the actual hw touching to a worker thread. And as long as we synchronize with that thread (flushing or cancelling, depending upon what the driver can handle) before we commit the next software state there's no need for any locking in the worker thread at all. Which greatly simplifies things. And as long as we synchronize with all relevant threads we can have a lot of them (e.g. per-crtc for per-crtc updates) running in parallel. - Expose pre/post plane commit steps separately. We need to expose the actual hw commit step anyway for drivers to be able to implement asynchronous commit workers. But if we expose pre/post and plane commit steps individually we allow drivers to selectively use atomic helpers. - I've forgotten to call encoder/bridge ->mode_set functions, fix this. v4: Add debug output and fix a mixup between current and new state that resulted in crtcs not getting updated correctly. And in an Oops ... v5: - Be kind to driver writers in the vblank wait functions.. if thing aren't working yet, and vblank irq will never come, then let's not block forever.. especially under console-lock. - Correctly clear connector_state->best_encoder when disabling. Spotted while trying to understand a report from Rob Clark. - Only steal encoder if it actually changed, otherwise hilarity ensues if we steal from the current connector and so set the ->crtc pointer unexpectedly to NULL. Reported by Rob Clark. - Bail out in disable_outputs if an output currently doesn't have a best_encoder - this means it's already disabled. v6: Fixupe kerneldoc as reported by Paulo. And also fix up kerneldoc in drm_crtc.h. v7: Take ownership of the atomic state and clean it up with drm_atomic_state_free(). v8 Various improvements all over: - Polish code comments and kerneldoc. - Improve debug output to make sure all failure cases are logged. - Treat enabled crtc with no connectors as invalid input from userspace. - Don't ignore the return value from mode_fixup(). v9: - Improve debug output for crtc_state->mode_changed. v10: - Fixup the vblank waiting code to properly balance the vblank_get/put calls. - Better comments when checking/computing crtc->mode_changed v11: Fixup the encoder stealing logic: We can't look at encoder->crtc since that's not in the atomic state structures and might be updated asynchronously in and async commit. Instead we need to inspect all the connector states and check whether the encoder is currently in used and if so, on which crtc. v12: Review from Sean: - A few spelling fixes. - Flatten control flow indent by converting if blocks to early continue/return in 2 places. - Capture connectors_for_crtc return value in int num_connectors instead of bool has_connectors and do an explicit int->bool conversion with !!. I think the helper is more useful for drivers if it returns the number of connectors (e.g. to detect cloning configurations), so decided to keep that return value.

These two functions allow drivers to reuse their atomic plane helpers functions for the primary plane to implement the interfaces required by the crtc helpers for the legacy ->set_config callback. This is purely transitional and won't be used once the driver is fully converted.

Converting a driver to the atomic interface can be a daunting undertaking. One of the prerequisites is to have full universal planes support. To make that transition a bit easier this patch provides plane helpers which use the new atomic helper callbacks just only for the plane changes. This way the plane update functionality can be tested without being forced to convert everything at once. Of course a real atomic update capable driver will implement the all plane properties through the atomic interface, so these helpers are mostly transitional. But they can be used to enable proper universal plane support, especially once the crtc helpers have also been adapted. v2: Use ->atomic_duplicate_state if available. v3: Don't forget to call ->atomic_destroy_state if available. v4: Fixup kerneldoc, reported by Paulo. v5: Extract a common plane_commit helper and fix some bugs in the plane_state setup of the plane_disable implementation. v6: Fix issues with the cleanup of the old fb. Since transitional helpers can be mixed we need to assume that the old fb has been set up by a legacy path (e.g. set_config or page_flip when the primary plane is converted to use these functions already). Hence pass an additional old_fb parameter to plane_commit to do that cleanup work correctly. v7: - Fix spurious WARNING (crtc helpers really love to disable stuff harder) and fix array index bonghits. - Correctly handle the lack of plane->state object, necessary for transitional use. - Don't indicate failure if drm_vblank_get doesn't work - that's expected when the pipe is in dpms off mode. v8: Review from Sean: - s/fail/out/ to make the meaning of a label more clear. - spelling fix in the commit message.

This is the first cut of atomic helper code. As-is it's only useful to implement a pure atomic interface for plane updates. Later patches will integrate this with the crtc helpers so that full atomic updates are possible. We also need a pile of helpers to aid drivers in transitioning from the legacy world to the shiny new atomic age. Finally we need helpers to implement legacy ioctls on top of the atomic interface. The design of the overall helpers<->driver interaction is fairly simple, but has an unfortunate large interface: - We have ->atomic_check callbacks for crtcs and planes. The idea is that connectors don't need any checking, and if they do they can adjust the relevant crtc driver-private state. So no connector hooks should be needed. Also the crtc helpers integration will do the ->best_encoder checks, so no need for that. - Framebuffer pinning needs to be done before we can commit to the hw state. This is especially important for async updates where we must pin all buffers before returning to userspace, so that really only hw failures can happen in the asynchronous worker. Hence we add ->prepare_fb and ->cleanup_fb hooks for this resources management. - The actual atomic plane commit can't fail (except hw woes), so has void return type. It has three stages: 1. Prepare all affected crtcs with crtc->atomic_begin. Drivers can use this to unset the GO bit or similar latches to prevent plane updates. 2. Update plane state by looping over all changed planes and calling plane->atomic_update. Presuming the hardware is sane and has GO bits drivers can simply bash the state into the hardware in this function. Other drivers might use this to precompute hw state for the final step. 3. Finally latch the update for the next vblank with crtc->atomic_flush. Note that this function doesn't need to wait for the vblank to happen even for the synchronous case. v2: Clear drm_<obj>_state->state to NULL when swapping in state. v3: Add TODO that we don't short-circuit plane updates for now. Likely no one will care. v4: Squash in a bit of polish that somehow landed in the wrong (later) patche. v5: Integrate atomic functions into the drm docbook and fixup the kerneldoc. v6: Fixup fixup patch squashing fumble. v7: Don't touch the legacy plane state plane->fb and plane->crtc. This is only used by the legacy ioctl code in the drm core, and that code already takes care of updating the pointers in all relevant cases. This is in stark contrast to connector->encoder->crtc links on the modeset side, which we still need to set since the core doesn't touch them. Also some more kerneldoc polish. v8: Drop outdated comment. v9: Handle the state->state pointer correctly: Only clearing the ->state pointer when assigning the state to the kms object isn't good enough. We also need to re-link the swapped out state into the drm_atomic_state structure. v10: Shuffle the misplaced docbook template hunk around that Sean spotted.

Some differences compared to Rob's patches again: - Dropped the committed and checked booleans. Checking will be internally enforced by always calling ->atomic_check before ->atomic_commit. And async handling needs to be solved differently because the current scheme completely side-steps ww mutex deadlock avoidance (and so either reinvents a new deadlock avoidance wheel or like the current code just deadlocks). - State for connectors needed to be added, since now they have a full-blown drm_connector_state (so that drivers have something to attach their own stuff to). - Refcounting is gone. I plane to solve async updates differently, since the lock-passing scheme doesn't cut it (since it abuses ww mutexes). Essentially what we need for async is a simple ownership transfer from the caller to the driver. That doesn't need full-blown refcounting. - The acquire ctx is a pointer. Real atomic callers should have that on their stack, legacy entry points need to put the right one (obtained by drm_modeset_legacy_acuire_ctx) in there. - I've dropped all hooks except check/commit. All the begin/end handling is done by core functions and is the same. - commit/check are just thin wrappers that ensure that ->check is always called. - To help out with locking in the legacy implementations I've added a helper to just grab all locks in the backoff case. v2: Add notices that check/commit can fail with EDEADLK. v3: - More consistent naming for state_alloc. - Add state_clear which is needed for backoff and retry. v4: Planes/connectors can switch between crtcs, and we need to be careful that we grab the state (and locks) for both the old and new crtc. Improve the interface functions to ensure this. v5: Add functions to grab affected connectors for a crtc and to recompute the crtc->enable state. This is useful for both helper and atomic ioctl code when e.g. removing a connector. v6: Squash in fixup from Fengguang to use ERR_CAST. v7: Add debug output. v8: Make checkpatch happy about kcalloc argument ordering. v9: Improve kerneldoc in drm_crtc.h v10: - Fix another kcalloc argument misorder I've missed. - More polish for kerneldoc. v11: Clarify the ownership rules for the state object. The new rule is that a successful drm_atomic_commit (whether synchronous or asnyc) always inherits the state and is responsible for the clean-up. That way async and sync ->commit functions are more similar. v12: A few bugfixes: - Assign state->state pointers correctly when grabbing state objects - we need to link them up with the global state. - Handle a NULL crtc in set_crtc_for_plane to simplify code flow a bit for the callers of this function. v13: Review from Sean: - kerneldoc spelling fixes - Don't overallocate states->planes. - Handle NULL crtc in set_crtc_for_connector. v14: Sprinkle __must_check over all functions which do wait/wound locking to make sure callers don't forget this. Since I have ;-) v15: Be more explicit in the kerneldoc when functions can return -EDEADLK what to do. And that every other -errno is fatal. v16: Indent with tabs instead of space, spotted by Ander. v17: Review from Thierry, small kerneldoc and other naming polish.

Heavily based upon Rob Clark's atomic series. - Dropped the connector state from the crtc state, instead opting for a full-blown connector state. The only thing it has is the desired crtc, but drivers which have connector properties have now a data-structure to subclass. - Rename create_state to duplicate_state. Especially for legacy ioctls we want updates on top of existing state, so we need a way to get at the current state. We need to be careful to clear the backpointers to the global state correctly though. - Drop property values. Drivers with properties simply need to subclass the datastructures and track the decoded values in there. I also think that common properties (like rotation) should be decoded and stored in the core structures. - Create a new set of ->atomic_set_prop functions, for smoother transitions from legacy to atomic operations. - Pass the ->atomic_set_prop ioctl the right structure to avoid chasing pointers in drivers. - Drop temporary boolean state for now until we resurrect them with the helper functions. - Drop invert_dimensions. For now we don't need any checking since that's done by the higher-level legacy ioctls. But even then we should also add rotation/flip tracking to the core drm_crtc_state, not just whether the dimensions are inverted. - Track crtc state with an enable/disable. That's equivalent to mode_valid, but a bit clearer that it means the entire crtc. The global interface will follow in subsequent patches. v2: We need to allow drivers to somehow set up the initial state and clear it on resume. So add a plane->reset callback for that. Helpers will be provided with default behaviour for all these. v3: Split out the plane->reset into a separate patch. v4: Improve kerneldoc in drm_crtc.h v5: Remove unused inline functions for handling state objects, those callbacks are now mandatory for full atomic support. v6: Fix commit message nit Sean noticed.

Commit 78b81f46 ("ARM: dts: imx28-evk: Run I2C0 at 400kHz") caused issues when doing the following sequence in loop: - Boot the kernel - Perform audio playback - Reboot the system via 'reboot' command In many times the audio card cannot be probed, which causes playback to fail. After restoring to the original i2c0 frequency of 100kHz there is no such problem anymore. This reverts commit 78b81f46.

Pull two sparc fixes from David Miller: 1) Fix boots with gcc-4.9 compiled sparc64 kernels. 2) Add missing __get_user_pages_fast() on sparc64 to fix hangs on futexes used in transparent hugepage areas. It's really idiotic to have a weak symbolled fallback that just returns zero, and causes this kind of bug. There should be no backup implementation and the link should fail if the architecture fails to provide __get_user_pages_fast() and supports transparent hugepages. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/sparc: sparc64: Implement __get_user_pages_fast(). sparc64: Fix register corruption in top-most kernel stack frame during boot.

Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini: "This is a pretty large update. I think it is roughly as big as what I usually had for the _whole_ rc period. There are a few bad bugs where the guest can OOPS or crash the host. We have also started looking at attack models for nested virtualization; bugs that usually result in the guest ring 0 crashing itself become more worrisome if you have nested virtualization, because the nested guest might bring down the non-nested guest as well. For current uses of nested virtualization these do not really have a security impact, but you never know and bugs are bugs nevertheless. A lot of these bugs are in 3.17 too, resulting in a large number of stable@ Ccs.

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki: "This is material that didn't make it to my 3.18-rc1 pull request for various reasons, mostly related to timing and travel (LinuxCon EU / LPC) plus a couple of fixes for recent bugs. The only really new thing here is the PM QoS class for memory bandwidth, but it is simple enough and users of it will be added in the next cycle. One major change in behavior is that platform devices enumerated by ACPI will use 32-bit DMA mask by default. Also included is an ACPICA update to a new upstream release, but that's mostly cleanups, changes in tools and similar. The rest is fixes and cleanups mostly. Specifics: - Fix for a recent PCI power management change that overlooked the fact that some IRQ chips might not be able to configure PCIe PME for system wakeup from Lucas Stach. - Fix for a bug introduced in 3.17 where acpi_device_wakeup() is called with a wrong ordering of arguments from Zhang Rui. - A bunch of intel_pstate driver fixes (all -stable candidates) from Dirk Brandewie, Gabriele Mazzotta and Pali Rohár. - Fixes for a rather long-standing problem with the OOM killer and the freezer that frozen processes killed by the OOM do not actually release any memory until they are thawed, so OOM-killing them is rather pointless, with a couple of cleanups on top (Michal Hocko, Cong Wang, Rafael J Wysocki). - ACPICA update to upstream release 20140926, inlcuding mostly cleanups reducing differences between the upstream ACPICA and the kernel code, tools changes (acpidump, acpiexec) and support for the _DDN object (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng). - New PM QoS class for memory bandwidth from Tomeu Vizoso. - Default 32-bit DMA mask for platform devices enumerated by ACPI (this change is mostly needed for some drivers development in progress targeted at 3.19) from Heikki Krogerus. - ACPI EC driver cleanups, mostly related to debugging, from Lv Zheng. - cpufreq-dt driver updates from Thomas Petazzoni. - powernv cpuidle driver update from Preeti U Murthy" * tag 'pm+acpi-3.18-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (34 commits) intel_pstate: Correct BYT VID values. intel_pstate: Fix BYT frequency reporting intel_pstate: Don't lose sysfs settings during cpu offline cpufreq: intel_pstate: Reflect current no_turbo state correctly cpufreq: expose scaling_cur_freq sysfs file for set_policy() drivers cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix setting max_perf_pct in performance policy PCI / PM: handle failure to enable wakeup on PCIe PME ACPI: invoke acpi_device_wakeup() with correct parameters PM / freezer: Clean up code after recent fixes PM: convert do_each_thread to for_each_process_thread OOM, PM: OOM killed task shouldn't escape PM suspend freezer: remove obsolete comments in __thaw_task() freezer: Do not freeze tasks killed by OOM killer ACPI / platform: provide default DMA mask cpuidle: powernv: Populate cpuidle state details by querying the device-tree cpufreq: cpufreq-dt: adjust message related to regulators cpufreq: cpufreq-dt: extend with platform_data cpufreq: allow driver-specific data ACPI / EC: Cleanup coding style.

Pull thermal management updates from Zhang Rui: "Sorry that I missed the merge window as there is a bug found in the last minute, and I have to fix it and wait for the code to be tested in linux-next tree for a few days. Now the buggy patch has been dropped entirely from my next branch. Thus I hope those changes can still be merged in 3.18-rc2 as most of them are platform thermal driver changes. Specifics: - introduce ACPI INT340X thermal drivers. Newer laptops and tablets may have thermal sensors and other devices with thermal control capabilities that are exposed for the OS to use via the ACPI INT340x device objects. Several drivers are introduced to expose the temperature information and cooling ability from these objects to user-space via the normal thermal framework. From: Lu Aaron, Lan Tianyu, Jacob Pan and Zhang Rui. - introduce a new thermal governor, which just uses a hysteresis to switch abruptly on/off a cooling device. This governor can be used to control certain fan devices that can not be throttled but just switched on or off.

With 48-bit VA space, the 64K page configuration uses 3 levels instead of 2 and PUD_SIZE != PMD_SIZE. Since with 64K pages we only cover PMD_SIZE with the initial swapper_pg_dir populated in head.S, the memblock current_limit needs to be set accordingly in map_mem() to avoid allocating unmapped memory. The memblock current_limit is progressively increased as more blocks are mapped. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

It is not sufficient to only implement get_user_pages_fast(), you must also implement the atomic version __get_user_pages_fast() otherwise you end up using the weak symbol fallback implementation which simply returns zero. This is dangerous, because it causes the futex code to loop forever if transparent hugepages are supported (see get_futex_key()). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Meelis Roos reported that kernels built with gcc-4.9 do not boot, we eventually narrowed this down to only impacting machines using UltraSPARC-III and derivitive cpus.

Detailed analysis showed that the function is not being miscompiled by gcc-4.9, but it is using a different register allocation ordering. With the gcc-4.9 compiled function, something during the code patching causes some of the %i* input registers to get corrupted. Perhaps we have a TLB miss path into the firmware that is deep enough to cause a register window spill and subsequent restore when we get back from the TLB miss trap. Let's plug this up by doing two things: 1) Stop using the firmware stack for client interface calls into the firmware. Just use the kernel's stack. 2) As soon as we can, call into a new function "start_early_boot()" to put a one-register-window buffer between the firmware's deepest stack frame and the top-most initial kernel one.
