Currently IEEE 1588 timer reference clock source is determined through hard-coded value in gianfar_ptp driver. This patch allows to select ptp clock source by means of device tree file node. For instance: fsl,cksel = <0>; for using external (TSEC_TMR_CLK input) high precision timer reference clock. Other acceptable values: <1> : eTSEC system clock <2> : eTSEC1 transmit clock <3> : RTC clock input When this attribute isn't used, eTSEC system clock will serve as IEEE 1588 timer reference clock.

Recently commit bab55417 ("block: support embedded device command line partition") introduced CONFIG_CMDLINE_PARSER. However, that name is too generic and sounds like it enables/disables generic kernel boot arg processing, when it really is block specific. Before this option becomes a part of a full/final release, add the BLK_ prefix to it so that it is clear in absence of any other context that it is block specific. In addition, fix up the following less critical items: - help text was not really at all helpful. - index file for Documentation was not updated - add the new arg to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt - clarify wording in source comments Signed-off-by: NPaul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Cai Zhiyong <caizhiyong@huawei.com> Cc: Wei Yongjun <yongjun_wei@trendmicro.com.cn> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Pavel reported that in case if vma area get unmapped and then mapped (or expanded) in-place, the soft dirty tracker won't be able to recognize this situation since it works on pte level and ptes are get zapped on unmap, loosing soft dirty bit of course. So to resolve this situation we need to track actions on vma level, there VM_SOFTDIRTY flag comes in. When new vma area created (or old expanded) we set this bit, and keep it here until application calls for clearing soft dirty bit. Thus when user space application track memory changes now it can detect if vma area is renewed.

由 Thomas Petazzoni 提交于
The compatible string of the kirkwood-i2s driver was chosen as "marvell,mvebu-audio". Using such a compatible string is not a good idea, since "mvebu" is the name of a large family of SOCs, in which new, unknown SOCs will be coming in the future. It is therefore impossible to know what will be evolutions of this hardware block in the next generations of the SOCs. For this reason, the recommandation for compatible strings of on-SOCs devices has always been to use the name of the oldest SOC that has the hardware block. New SOCs that have an exactly compatible hardware block can reference it using the same compatible string. See [1], [2] and [3] for various cases were this suggestion was made, including from Rob Herring, a Device Tree binding maintainer. As an example, there are already small differences between current generations: * On Kirkwood, only one interrupt is used for audio. * On Dove, two interrupts are used, one for audio data and one for error reporting. In the near future, I'll be adding audio support to Armada 370, which allows has the same hardware block (but maybe with minor variants). Therefore, this patch changes the driver to accept "marvell,kirkwood-audio" and "marvell,dove-audio" as compatible strings instead of the too-generic "marvell,mvebu-audio". The reason for the two different compatible strings is the difference in the number of interrupts used by the two SOCs for audio. This Device Tree binding has never been part of a Linux kernel stable release so far, so it can be changed now without breaking backward compatibility.
