  broken out of tree MPLS code. The hard_header functions can expect
  to always have a headroom of at least there own hard_header_len
  available, so the reallocation check is unnecessary.

3bfb1d20b5 dmaengine: Driver for the Synopsys DesignWare DMA controller
This adds a driver for the Synopsys DesignWare DMA controller (aka
DMACA on AVR32 systems.) This DMA controller can be found integrated
on the AT32AP7000 chip and is primarily meant for peripheral DMA
transfer, but can also be used for memory-to-memory transfers.

This patch is based on a driver from David Brownell which was based on
an older version of the DMA Engine framework. It also implements the
proposed extensions to the DMA Engine API for slave DMA operations.

The dmatest client shows no problems, but there may still be room for
improvement performance-wise. DMA slave transfer performance is
definitely "good enough"; reading 100 MiB from an SD card running at ~20
MHz yields ~7.2 MiB/s average transfer rate.

Full documentation for this controller can be found in the Synopsys
DW AHB DMAC Databook:

http://www.synopsys.com/designware/docs/iip/DW_ahb_dmac/latest/doc/dw_ahb_dmac_db.pdf

The controller has lots of implementation options, so it's usually a
good idea to check the data sheet of the chip it's intergrated on as
well. The AT32AP7000 data sheet can be found here:

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/datasheets.asp?family_id=682


Changes since v4:
  * Use client_count instead of dma_chan_is_in_use()
  * Add missing include
  * Unmap buffers unless client told us not to

Changes since v3:
  * Update to latest DMA engine and DMA slave APIs
  * Embed the hw descriptor into the sw descriptor
  * Clean up and update MODULE_DESCRIPTION, copyright date, etc.

Changes since v2:
  * Dequeue all pending transfers in terminate_all()
  * Rename dw_dmac.h -> dw_dmac_regs.h
  * Define and use controller-specific dma_slave data
  * Fix up a few outdated comments
  * Define hardware registers as structs (doesn't generate better
    code, unfortunately, but it looks nicer.)
  * Get number of channels from platform_data instead of hardcoding it
    based on CONFIG_WHATEVER_CPU.
  * Give slave clients exclusive access to the channel

dc0ee6435c dmaengine: Add slave DMA interface
This patch adds the necessary interfaces to the DMA Engine framework
to use functionality found on most embedded DMA controllers: DMA from
and to I/O registers with hardware handshaking.

In this context, hardware hanshaking means that the peripheral that
owns the I/O registers in question is able to tell the DMA controller
when more data is available for reading, or when there is room for
more data to be written. This usually happens internally on the chip,
but these signals may also be exported outside the chip for things
like IDE DMA, etc.

A new struct dma_slave is introduced. This contains information that
the DMA engine driver needs to set up slave transfers to and from a
slave device. Most engines supporting DMA slave transfers will want to
extend this structure with controller-specific parameters.  This
additional information is usually passed from the platform/board code
through the client driver.

A "slave" pointer is added to the dma_client struct. This must point
to a valid dma_slave structure iff the DMA_SLAVE capability is
requested.  The DMA engine driver may use this information in its
device_alloc_chan_resources hook to configure the DMA controller for
slave transfers from and to the given slave device.

A new operation for preparing slave DMA transfers is added to struct
dma_device. This takes a scatterlist and returns a single descriptor
representing the whole transfer.

Another new operation for terminating all pending transfers is added as
well. The latter is needed because there may be errors outside the scope
of the DMA Engine framework that may require DMA operations to be
terminated prematurely.

DMA Engine drivers may extend the dma_device, dma_chan and/or
dma_slave_descriptor structures to allow controller-specific
operations. The client driver can detect such extensions by looking at
the DMA Engine's struct device, or it can request a specific DMA
Engine device by setting the dma_dev field in struct dma_slave.

dmaslave interface changes since v4:
  * Fix checkpatch errors
  * Fix changelog (there are no slave descriptors anymore)

dmaslave interface changes since v3:
  * Use dma_data_direction instead of a new enum
  * Submit slave transfers as scatterlists
  * Remove the DMA slave descriptor struct

dmaslave interface changes since v2:
  * Add a dma_dev field to struct dma_slave. If set, the client can
    only be bound to the DMA controller that corresponds to this
    device.  This allows controller-specific extensions of the
    dma_slave structure; if the device matches, the controller may
    safely assume its extensions are present.
  * Move reg_width into struct dma_slave as there are currently no
    users that need to be able to set the width on a per-transfer
    basis.

dmaslave interface changes since v1:
  * Drop the set_direction and set_width descriptor hooks. Pass the
    direction and width to the prep function instead.
  * Declare a dma_slave struct with fixed information about a slave,
    i.e. register addresses, handshake interfaces and such.
  * Add pointer to a dma_slave struct to dma_client. Can be NULL if
    the DMA_SLAVE capability isn't requested.
  * Drop the set_slave device hook since the alloc_chan_resources hook
    now has enough information to set up the channel for slave
    transfers.

e1d181efb1 dmaengine: add DMA_COMPL_SKIP_{SRC,DEST}_UNMAP flags to control dma unmap
In some cases client code may need the dma-driver to skip the unmap of source
and/or destination buffers.  Setting these flags indicates to the driver to
skip the unmap step.  In this regard async_xor is currently broken in that it
allows the destination buffer to be unmapped while an operation is still in
progress, i.e. when the number of sources exceeds the hardware channel's
maximum (fixed in a subsequent patch).

848c536a37 dmaengine: Add dma_client parameter to device_alloc_chan_resources
A DMA controller capable of doing slave transfers may need to know a
few things about the slave when preparing the channel. We don't want
to add this information to struct dma_channel since the channel hasn't
yet been bound to a client at this point.

Instead, pass a reference to the client requesting the channel to the
driver's device_alloc_chan_resources hook so that it can pick the
necessary information from the dma_client struct by itself.

ff7b04796d dmaengine: DMA engine driver for Marvell XOR engine
The XOR engine found in Marvell's SoCs and system controllers
provides XOR and DMA operation, iSCSI CRC32C calculation, memory
initialization, and memory ECC error cleanup operation support.

This driver implements the DMA engine API and supports the following
capabilities:
- memcpy
- xor
- memset

The XOR engine can be used by DMA engine clients implemented in the
kernel, one of those clients is the RAID module.  In that case, I
observed 20% improvement in the raid5 write throughput, and 40%
decrease in the CPU utilization when doing array construction, those
results obtained on an 5182 running at 500Mhz.

When enabling the NET DMA client, the performance decreased, so
meanwhile it is recommended to keep this client off.

7cc5bf9a3a dmaengine: track the number of clients using a channel
Haavard's dma-slave interface would like to test for exclusive access to a
channel.  The standard channel refcounting is not sufficient in that it
tracks more than just client references, it is also inaccurate as reference
counts are percpu until the channel is removed.

This change also enables a future fix to deallocate resources when a client
declines to use a capable channel.

86df864249 Correct hash flushing from huge_ptep_set_wrprotect()
As Andy Whitcroft recently pointed out, the current powerpc version of
huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() has a bug.  It just calls ptep_set_wrprotect()
which in turn calls pte_update() then hpte_need_flush() with the 'huge'
argument set to 0.  This will cause hpte_need_flush() to flush the wrong
hash entries (of any).  Andy's fix for this is already in the powerpc
tree as commit 016b33c495.

I have confirmed this is a real bug, not masked by some other
synchronization, with a new testcase for libhugetlbfs.  A process write
a (MAP_PRIVATE) hugepage mapping, fork(), then alter the mapping and
have the child incorrectly see the second write.

Therefore, this should be fixed for 2.6.26, and for the stable tree.
Here is a suitable patch for 2.6.26, which I think will also be suitable
for the stable tree (neither of the headers in question has been changed
much recently).

It is cut down slighlty from Andy's original version, in that it does
not include a 32-bit version of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect().  Currently,
hugepages are not supported on any 32-bit powerpc platform.  When they
are, a suitable 32-bit version can be added - the only 32-bit hardware
which supports hugepages does not use the conventional hashtable MMU and
so will have different needs anyway.

69ac9cd629 sysfs: add /sys/firmware/memmap
This patch adds /sys/firmware/memmap interface that represents the BIOS
(or Firmware) provided memory map. The tree looks like:

    /sys/firmware/memmap/0/start   (hex number)
                           end     (hex number)
                           type    (string)
    ...                 /1/start
                           end
                           type

With the following shell snippet one can print the memory map in the same form
the kernel prints itself when booting on x86 (the E820 map).

  --------- 8< --------------------------
    #!/bin/sh
    cd /sys/firmware/memmap
    for dir in * ; do
        start=$(cat $dir/start)
        end=$(cat $dir/end)
        type=$(cat $dir/type)
        printf "%016x-%016x (%s)\n" $start $[ $end +1] "$type"
    done
  --------- >8 --------------------------

That patch only provides the needed interface:

 1. The sysfs interface.
 2. The structure and enumeration definition.
 3. The function firmware_map_add() and firmware_map_add_early()
    that should be called from architecture code (E820/EFI, for
    example) to add the contents to the interface.

If the kernel is compiled without CONFIG_FIRMWARE_MEMMAP, the interface does
nothing without cluttering the architecture-specific code with #ifdef's.

The purpose of the new interface is kexec: While /proc/iomem represents
the *used* memory map (e.g. modified via kernel parameters like 'memmap'
and 'mem'), the /sys/firmware/memmap tree represents the unmodified memory
map provided via the firmware. So kexec can:

 - use the original memory map for rebooting,
 - use the /proc/iomem for setting up the ELF core headers for kdump
   case that should only represent the memory of the system.

The patch has been tested on i386 and x86_64.

ef5e94af16 x86_32: remove __PAGE_KERNEL(_EXEC)
From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>

Older x86-32 processors do not support global mappings (PGD), so must
only use it if the processor supports it.

The _PAGE_KERNEL* flags always have _PAGE_KERNEL set, since logically
we always want it set.

This is OK even on processors which do not support PGD, since all
_PAGE flags are masked with __supported_pte_mask before being turned
into a real in-pagetable pte.  On 32-bit systems, __supported_pte_mask
is initialized to not contain _PAGE_GLOBAL, and it is then added if
the CPU is found to support it.

The x86-32 code used to use __PAGE_KERNEL/__PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC for this
purpose, but they're now redundant and can be removed.

8490638cf0 x86: always set _PAGE_GLOBAL in _PAGE_KERNEL* flags
Consistently set _PAGE_GLOBAL in _PAGE_KERNEL flags.  This makes 32-
and 64-bit code consistent, and removes some special cases where
__PAGE_KERNEL* did not have _PAGE_GLOBAL set, causing confusion as a
result of the inconsistencies.

This patch only affects x86-64, which generally always supports PGD.
The x86-32 patch is next.
