This patch adds support for making one power domain a sub-domain of
other domain. This is useful for modeling power dependences for devices
like TV Mixer or Camera ISP, which needs to have more than one power
domain enabled to be operational.
Based on previous work by Amit Daniel Kachhap <amit.daniel@samsung.com>.

The current minstrel_ht rate control behavior is somewhat optimistic in
trying to find optimum TX rate. While this is usually fine for normal
Data frames, there are cases where a more conservative set of retry
parameters would be beneficial to make the connection more robust.
EAPOL frames are critical to the authentication and especially the
EAPOL-Key message 4/4 (the last message in the 4-way handshake) is
important to get through to the AP. If that message is lost, the only
recovery mechanism in many cases is to reassociate with the AP and start
from scratch. This can often be avoided by trying to send the frame with
more conservative rate and/or with more link layer retries.
In most cases, minstrel_ht is currently using the initial EAPOL-Key
frames for probing higher rates and this results in only five link layer
transmission attempts (one at high(ish) MCS and four at MCS0). While
this works with most APs, it looks like there are some deployed APs that
may have issues with the EAPOL frames using HT MCS immediately after
association. Similarly, there may be issues in cases where the signal
strength or radio environment is not good enough to be able to get
frames through even at couple of MCS 0 tries.
The best approach for this would likely to be to reduce the TX rate for
the last rate (3rd rate parameter in the set) to a low basic rate (say,
6 Mbps on 5 GHz and 2 or 5.5 Mbps on 2.4 GHz), but doing that cleanly
requires some more effort. For now, we can start with a simple one-liner
that forces the minimum rate to be used for EAPOL frames similarly how
the TX rate is selected for the IEEE 802.11 Management frames. This does
result in a small extra latency added to the cases where the AP would be
able to receive the higher rate, but taken into account how small number
of EAPOL frames are used, this is likely to be insignificant. A future
optimization in the minstrel_ht design can also allow this patch to be
reverted to get back to the more optimized initial TX rate.
It should also be noted that many drivers that do not use minstrel as
the rate control algorithm are already doing similar workarounds by
forcing the lowest TX rate to be used for EAPOL frames.

Patch 2f896d586610 ("arm64: use fixmap for text patching") changed
the way we patch the kernel text, using a fixmap when the kernel or
modules are flagged as read only.
Unfortunately, a flaw in the logic makes it fall over when patching
modules without CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX enabled:

This is triggered by the use of virt_to_page() on a module address,
which ends to pointing to Nowhereland if you're lucky, or corrupt
your precious data if not.
This patch fixes the logic by mimicking what is done on arm:
- If we're patching a module and CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX is set,
use vmalloc_to_page().
- If we're patching the kernel and CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set,
use virt_to_page().
- Otherwise, use the provided address, as we can write to it directly.
Tested on 4.0-rc1 as a KVM guest.

This patch increases the interleave factor for parallel AES modes
to 4x. This improves performance on Cortex-A57 by ~35%. This is
due to the 3-cycle latency of AES instructions on the A57's
relatively deep pipeline (compared to Cortex-A53 where the AES
instruction latency is only 2 cycles).
At the same time, disable inline expansion of the core AES functions,
as the performance benefit of this feature is negligible.
Measured on AMD Seattle (using tcrypt.ko mode=500 sec=1):

Caught during Trinity testing. The pte_modify does not allow
modification for PTE type bit. This cause the test to hang
the system. It is found that the PTE can't transit from an
inaccessible page (b00) to a valid page (b11) because the mask
does not allow it. This happens when a big block of mmaped
memory is set the PROT_NONE, then the a small piece is broken
off and set to PROT_WRITE | PROT_READ cause a huge page split.

The vdso implementation of clock_getres currently returns 0 (success)
whenever a null timespec is provided by the caller, regardless of the
clock id supplied.
This behavior is incorrect. It should fall back to syscall when an
unrecognized clock id is passed, even when the timespec argument is
null. This ensures that clock_getres always returns an error for
invalid clock ids.

The driver was having some issues with false Tx hang detection. This
makes the driver a little more direct with the checks for progress
forward by directly checking the head write back address and tail register
when determining progress. This avoids Tx hangs where the software
gets behind, because we are directly checking hardware state when
determining hang state.

The hardware has some limitations the driver needs to adhere to,

1) no more than 8 descriptors per packet on the wire
2) no header can span more than 3 descriptors
If one of these events occurs, the hardware will generate an internal
error and freeze the Tx queue.

The hardware folks told me that for page clearing "when you exactly
know what to do, hand written xc+pfd is usally faster then mvcl for
page clearing, as it saves millicode overhead and parameter parsing
and checking" as long as you dont need the cache bypassing.
Turns out that gcc already does a proper xc,pfd loop.
A small test on z196 that does
buff = mmap(NULL, bufsize,PROT_EXEC|PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ,AP_PRIVATE| MAP_ANONYMOUS,0,0);
for ( i = 0; i < bufsize; i+= 256)
buff[i] = 0x5;
gets 20% faster (touches every cache line of a page)
and
buff = mmap(NULL, bufsize,PROT_EXEC|PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ,AP_PRIVATE| MAP_ANONYMOUS,0,0);
for ( i = 0; i < bufsize; i+= 4096)

is within noise ratio (touches one cache line of a page).
As the clear_page is usually called for first memory accesses
we can assume that at least one cache line is used afterwards,
so this change should be always better.
Another benchmark, a make -j 40 of my testsuite in tmpfs with
hot caches on a 32cpu system:
-- unpatched -- -- patched --
real 0m1.017s real 0m0.994s (~2% faster, but in noise)
user 0m5.339s user 0m5.016s (~6% faster)
sys 0m0.691s sys 0m0.632s (~8% faster)
Let use the same define to memset as the asm-generic variant

Make sure that even in error situations we do not use copy_to_user
on uninitialized kernel memory.

We increase the msb_count after we're finished building the request.
That way we can always access the current request via
scmrq->request[msb_count] . But once the request is started we need
to make sure that the array index stays below msb_count.

Fix the output of the jump label sanity check and also print the

When modules are loaded we want to transform the compile time generated
nops into runtime generated nops. Otherwise the jump label sanity check
will detect invalid code when trying to patch code.
Fixes this crash:
Jump label code mismatch at __rds_conn_create+0x3c/0x720
