Use 'unsigned int' instead of 'unsigned long' in the NAND chip description data structure, because 32-bits is more than enough for our purposes. We do not need 64-bits, which is what we end up on 64-bit architectures. We declare many instances of this data structure, so this should help saving some amount of memory.

'mtd_device_parse_register()' and 'parse_mtd_partitions()' functions accept a an array of character pointers. These functions modify neither the pointers nor the characters they point to. The characters are actually names of the MTD parsers. At the moment, the argument type is 'const char **', which means that only the names of the parsers are constant. Let's turn the argument type into 'const char * const *', which means that both names and the pointers which point to them are constant.

Up until now we identified NAND chips by the 'device ID' part of the full chip ID array, which is the second full ID array byte. However, the newest flashes use the same device ID for chips with identical page and eraseblock sizes, but different OOB sizes. And unfortunately, it is not clear if there is a "standard" way to fetch the OOB size from chip's full ID array. Here is an example: Toshiba TC58NVG2S0F: 0x98, 0xdc, 0x90, 0x26, 0x76, 0x15, 0x01, 0x08 Toshiba TC58NVG3S0F: 0x98, 0xd3, 0x90, 0x26, 0x76, 0x15, 0x02, 0x08 The first one is a 512MiB NAND chip with 4KiB NAND pages, 256KiB eraseblock size and 224 bytes OOB. The second one is a 1GiB NAND chip with the same page and eraseblock sizes, but with 232 bytes OOB. This means that we have to store full ID in our NAND flashes table in order to distinguish between these 2. This patch adds the 'id[8]' field to the 'struct nand_flash_dev' structure, and it makes it to be a part of anonymous union, where the second member is a structure containing the 'mfr_id' and 'dev_id' bytes. The union makes sure that 'mfr_id' refers the same RAM address as 'id[0]' and 'dev_id' refers the same RAM address as 'id[1]'. The only motivation for the union is an assumption that 'type->dev_id' is more readable than 'type->id[1]'.

We have only one AG-AND driver and it was not touched since 2005. It looks like AG-AND was not really make it to mass-production and can be considered a dead technology. Along with the AG-AND support, this patch removes the BBT_AUTO_REFRESH feature, because the only user of this feature is AG-AND. And even though it is implemented as a generic feature, I prefer to remove it because NAND flashes do not really need it in this form.

This patch fixes a kernel crash when using precise sampling (PEBS) after a suspend/resume. Turns out the CPU notifier code is not invoked on CPU0 (BP). Therefore, the DS_AREA (used by PEBS) is not restored properly by the kernel and keeps it power-on/resume value of 0 causing any PEBS measurement to crash when running on CPU0. The workaround is to add a hook in the actual resume code to restore the DS Area MSR value. It is invoked for all CPUS. So for all but CPU0, the DS_AREA will be restored twice but this is harmless.

The current version of hlist_entry_safe() fetches the pointer twice, once to test for NULL and the other to compute the offset back to the enclosing structure. This is OK for normal lock-based use because in that case, the pointer cannot change. However, when the pointer is protected by RCU (as in "rcu_dereference(p)"), then the pointer can change at any time. This use case can result in the following sequence of events: 1. CPU 0 invokes hlist_entry_safe(), fetches the RCU-protected pointer as sees that it is non-NULL. 2. CPU 1 invokes hlist_del_rcu(), deleting the entry that CPU 0 just fetched a pointer to. Because this is the last entry in the list, the pointer fetched by CPU 0 is now NULL. 3. CPU 0 refetches the pointer, obtains NULL, and then gets a NULL-pointer crash. This commit therefore applies gcc's "({ })" statement expression to create a temporary variable so that the specified pointer is fetched only once, avoiding the above sequence of events. Please note that it is the caller's responsibility to use rcu_dereference() as needed. This allows RCU-protected uses to work correctly without imposing any additional overhead on the non-RCU case.

This partially reverts commit 1696e6bc ("mtd: nand: kill NAND_NO_READRDY"). In that patch I overlooked a few things. The original documentation for NAND_NO_READRDY included "True for all large page devices, as they do not support autoincrement." I was conflating "not support autoincrement" with the NAND_NO_AUTOINCR option, which was in fact doing nothing. So, when I dropped NAND_NO_AUTOINCR, I concluded that I then could harmlessly drop NAND_NO_READRDY. But of course the fact the NAND_NO_AUTOINCR was doing nothing didn't mean NAND_NO_READRDY was doing nothing... So, NAND_NO_READRDY is re-introduced as NAND_NEED_READRDY and applied only to those few remaining small-page NAND which needed it in the first place.

In the UAPI header files, __BIG_ENDIAN and __LITTLE_ENDIAN must be compared against __BYTE_ORDER in preprocessor conditionals where these are exposed to userspace (that is they're not inside __KERNEL__ conditionals). However, in the main kernel the norm is to check for "defined(__XXX_ENDIAN)" rather than comparing against __BYTE_ORDER and this has incorrectly leaked into the userspace headers. The definition of struct mdp_superblock_s in linux/raid/md_p.h is wrong in this way. Note that userspace will likely interpret the ordering of the fields incorrectly as the big-endian variant on a little-endian machines - depending on header inclusion order.

The git commit d5aaffa9 (cpufreq: handle cpufreq being disabled for all exported function) tightens the cpufreq API by returning errors when disable_cpufreq() had been called. The problem we are hitting is that the module xen-acpi-processor which uses the ACPI's functions: acpi_processor_register_performance, acpi_processor_preregister_performance, and acpi_processor_notify_smm fails at acpi_processor_register_performance with -22. Note that earlier during bootup in arch/x86/xen/setup.c there is also an call to cpufreq's API: disable_cpufreq(). This is b/c we want the Linux kernel to parse the ACPI data, but leave the cpufreq decisions to the hypervisor. In v3.9 all the checks that d5aaffa9 added are now hit and the calls to cpufreq_register_notifier will now fail. This means that acpi_processor_ppc_init ends up printing: "Warning: Processor Platform Limit not supported" and the acpi_processor_ppc_status is not set. The repercussions of that is that the call to acpi_processor_register_performance fails right away at: if (!(acpi_processor_ppc_status & PPC_REGISTERED)) and we don't progress any further on parsing and extracting the _P* objects. The only reason the Xen code called that function was b/c it was exported and the only way to gather the P-states. But we can also just make acpi_processor_get_performance_info be exported and not use acpi_processor_register_performance. This patch does so. Acked-by: NRafael J.

USB uses the .find_bridge() callback from struct acpi_bus_type incorrectly, because as a result of the way it is used by USB every device in the system that doesn't have a bus type or parent is passed to usb_acpi_find_device() for inspection. What USB actually needs, though, is to call usb_acpi_find_device() for USB ports that don't have a bus type defined, but have usb_port_device_type as their device type, as well as for USB devices. To fix that replace the struct bus_type pointer in struct acpi_bus_type used for matching devices to specific subsystems with a .match() callback to be used for this purpose and update the users of struct acpi_bus_type, including USB, accordingly. Define the .match() callback routine for USB, usb_acpi_bus_match(), in such a way that it will cover both USB devices and USB ports and remove the now redundant .find_bridge() callback pointer from usb_acpi_bus.

Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-" and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules to match. A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel. Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially making things safer with no real cost. Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf with blacklist and alias directives. Allowing simple, safe, well understood work-arounds to known problematic software. This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading would not work. While writing this patch I saw a handful of such cases. The most significant being autofs that lives in the module autofs4. This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module. After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem module. The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module() without regards to the users permissions. In general all a filesystem module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep. Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted. In a user namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT, which most filesystems do not set today.

Commit cc2383ec ("mm: introduce arch-specific vma flag VM_ARCH_1") merged in v3.7-rc1. The above commit combined several arch-specific vma flags into one, and in the process it changed the VM_GROWSUP definition to depend on specific architectures rather than CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP. Therefore add an ifdef for CONFIG_METAG to also set VM_GROWSUP.
