This patch adds functionality to the gpio-lib subsystem to make it
possible to enable the gpio-lib code even if the architecture code didn't
request to get it built in.
The archtitecture code does still need to implement the gpiolib accessor
functions in its asm/gpio.h file. This patch adds the implementations for
x86 and PPC.
With these changes it is possible to run generic GPIO expansion cards on
every architecture that implements the trivial wrapper functions. Support
for more architectures can easily be added.

Teach the mcp23s08 driver about a curious feature of these chips: up to
four of them can share the same chipselect, with the SPI signals wired in
parallel, by matching two bits in the first protocol byte against two
address lines on the chip.
This is handled by three software changes:
* Platform data now holds an array of per-chip structs, not
just one chip's address and pullup configuration.
* Probe() and remove() now use another level of structure,
wrapping an instance of the original structure for each
mcp23s08 chip sharing that chipselect.
* The HAEN bit is set, so that the hardware address bits can no
longer be ignored (boot firmware may not have enabled them).
The "one struct per chip" preserves the guts of the current code,
but platform_data will need minor changes.
OLD:
/* incorrect "slave" ID may not have mattered */
.slave = 3,
.pullups = BIT(3) | BIT(1) | BIT(0),
NEW:
/* slave address _must_ match chip's wiring */
.chip[3] = {
.is_present = true,
.pullups = BIT(3) | BIT(1) | BIT(0),
},
There's no change in how things _behave_ for spi_device nodes with a
single mcp23s08 chip. New multi-chip configurations assign GPIOs in
sequence, without holes. The spi_device just resembles a bigger
controller, but internally it has multiple gpio_chip instances.

This adds a simple sysfs interface for GPIOs.
/sys/class/gpio
/export ... asks the kernel to export a GPIO to userspace
/unexport ... to return a GPIO to the kernel
/gpioN ... for each exported GPIO #N
/value ... always readable, writes fail for input GPIOs
/direction ... r/w as: in, out (default low); write high, low
/gpiochipN ... for each gpiochip; #N is its first GPIO
/base ... (r/o) same as N
/label ... (r/o) descriptive, not necessarily unique
/ngpio ... (r/o) number of GPIOs; numbered N .. N+(ngpio - 1)
GPIOs claimed by kernel code may be exported by its owner using a new
gpio_export() call, which should be most useful for driver debugging.
Such exports may optionally be done without a "direction" attribute.
Userspace may ask to take over a GPIO by writing to a sysfs control file,
helping to cope with incomplete board support or other "one-off"
requirements that don't merit full kernel support:
echo 23 > /sys/class/gpio/export
... will gpio_request(23, "sysfs") and gpio_export(23);
use /sys/class/gpio/gpio-23/direction to (re)configure it,
when that GPIO can be used as both input and output.
echo 23 > /sys/class/gpio/unexport
... will gpio_free(23), when it was exported as above
The extra D-space footprint is a few hundred bytes, except for the sysfs
resources associated with each exported GPIO. The additional I-space
footprint is about two thirds of the current size of gpiolib (!). Since
no /dev node creation is involved, no "udev" support is needed.
Related changes:
* This adds a device pointer to "struct gpio_chip". When GPIO
providers initialize that, sysfs gpio class devices become children of
that device instead of being "virtual" devices.
* The (few) gpio_chip providers which have such a device node have
been updated.
* Some gpio_chip drivers also needed to update their module "owner"
field ... for which missing kerneldoc was added.
* Some gpio_chips don't support input GPIOs. Those GPIOs are now
flagged appropriately when the chip is registered.
Based on previous patches, and discussion both on and off LKML.
A Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-gpio update is ready to submit once this
merges to mainline.

Enable ibmveth for Cooperative Memory Overcommitment (CMO). For this driver
it means calculating a desired amount of IO memory based on the current MTU

The following changes are made to enable the driver for CMO:
* DMA mapping errors will not result in error messages if entitlement has

* DMA mapping errors are handled gracefully, ibmveth_replenish_buffer_pool()
is corrected to check the return from dma_map_single and fail gracefully.

This patch tries to change hvc_console to not use request_irq/free_irq if
the backend does not use irqs. This allows virtio_console to use hvc_console
without having a linker reference to request_irq/free_irq.
In addition, together with patch 2/3 it improves the performance for virtio
console input. (an earlier version of this patch was tested by Yajin on lguest)
The irq specific code is moved to hvc_irq.c and selected by the drivers that
use irqs (System p, System i, XEN).
I replaced "int irq" with the opaque "int data". The request_irq and
free_irq calls are replaced with notifier_add and notifier_del. I have also
changed the code a bit to call the notifier_add and notifier_del inside the
spinlock area as the callbacks are found via hp->ops.
Changes since last version:
o remove ifdef
o reintroduce "irq_requested" as "notified"
o cleanups, sparse..
I did not move the timer based polling into a separate polling scheme. I
played with several variants, but it seems we need to sleep/schedule in
a thread even for irq based consoles, as there are throttleing and buffer
size constraints.
I also kept hvc_struct defined in hvc_console.h so that hvc_irq.c can access
the irq_requested element.
Feedback is appreciated. virtio_console is currently the only available console
for kvm on s390. I plan to push this change as soon as all affected parties
agree on it. I would love to get test results from System p, Xen etc.

We force notification when the ring is full, even if the host has
indicated it doesn't want to know. This seemed like a good idea at
the time: if we fill the transmit ring, we should tell the host
immediately.
Unfortunately this logic also applies to the receiving ring, which is
refilled constantly. We should introduce real notification thesholds
to replace this logic. Meanwhile, removing the logic altogether breaks
the heuristics which KVM uses, so we use a hack: only notify if there are
outgoing parts of the new buffer.
Here are the number of exits with lguest's crappy network implementation:

If we hack the virtio_net driver to always allocate full-sized (64k+)
skbuffs, the driver slows down (lguest numbers):
Time to receive 1GB (small buffers): 10.85 seconds
Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers): 24.75 seconds
Of course, large buffers use up more space in the ring, so we increase
that from 128 to 2048:
Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring): 16.61 seconds
If we recycle pages rather than using alloc_page/free_page:
Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring, recycle pages): 10.81 seconds
This demonstrates that with efficient allocation, we don't need to
have a separate "small buffer" queue.

With this, may drop an skb and then later in the function discover that
we could have sent it after all. Poor wee skb :)
How about the incremental patch below?
Cheers,
Mark.
Subject: [PATCH] virtio_net: Delay dropping tx skbs
Currently we drop the skb in start_xmit() if we have a
queued buffer and fail to transmit it.
However, if we delay dropping it until we've stopped the
queue and enabled the tx notification callback, then there
is a chance space might become available for it.

IDE probing code used to skip devices attached to EATA SCSI HBA
in ATA emulating mode but because of warm-plug support port I/O
resources are no longer freed if no devices are detected on a port
and the decision about the driver to use is left up to the user.
Remove no longer valid EATA SCSI HBA quirk from do_identify().

cdrom_read_capacity() will blindly return the capacity from the device
without sanity-checking it. This later causes code in fs/buffer.c to
oops.
Fix this by checking that the device is telling us sensible things.

This controller supports UltraDMA up to mode 5 but it should be clocked with
at least twice the data strobe frequency, so enable mode 5 for 100+ MHz IDECLK.
While at it, start passing the correct device to clk_get() -- it worked anyway
but WTF? :-/

Replace ide_default_{io_base,irq}() inlines by legacy_{bases,irqs}[].
v2:

Move ide_probe_legacy() call to ide_generic_init() so it fails
early if necessary and returns the proper error value (nowadays
ide_default_io_base() is used only by ide-generic).
