Add a driver for the MicroCrystal RV-3028. It is a SMT Real-Time Clock
Module that incorporates an integrated CMOS circuit together with an XTAL.
It has an i2c interface.
The driver handles date/time, alarms, trickle charging, timestamping,
frequency offset correction, EEPROM and NVRAM.

Since this documents multiple chips controlled by the isl1208 driver,
name it isil,isl1208.txt, as the convention is to use the base driver
name in the bindings document for drivers with multiple devices.
Include all chips supported by this driver in the docs. Make it
clear which properties apply to which chips.
Expand documentation for existing isil,evienb property to explain
operation in more detail. Existing docs just describe it in terms of
setting a bit in a register.

Add support for the RTC's NVRAM using the standard nvmem support that is
part of the Linux RTC framework.
This driver already has a sysfs attribute that provides access to the
RTC's NVRAM as a single 16-bit value. Some chips have more than two
bytes of NVRAM, so this will not work for them. It's also non-standard.
This sysfs attribute is left in for backward compatibility, but will only
be able to read the first two bytes of NVRAM. The nvmem interface will
allow access to all NVRAM, e.g. eight bytes on the isl1218.

Add more support in the driver for dealing with differences in is1208
compatible chips. Put the 1208, 1209, 1218, and 1219 in the list and
encode information about nvram size, tamper, and timestamp features.
This adds support for the isl1209, which has a tamper detect but no
timestamp feature.

This driver has no state of its own, depending entirely on what is in

Add support for the RTC block on the 32-bit Amlogic Meson6, Meson8,
Meson8b and Meson8m2 SoCs.
The RTC is split in to two parts, which are both managed by this driver:
- the AHB front end
- and a simple serial connection to the actual registers
The RTC_COUNTER register which holds the time is 32-bits wide.
There are four 32-bit wide (in total: 16 bytes) "regmem" registers which
are exposed using nvmem. On Amlogic's 3.10 kernel this is used to store
data which needs to survive a suspend / resume cycle.

Shifting a u8 by 24 will cause the value to be promoted to an integer. If
the top bit of the u8 is set then the following conversion to an unsigned

When the EXTENSION.WADA bit is set, register 0x19 contains a bitmap of
week days, not a day of month. As Linux only handles a single alarm
without repetition using day of month is more flexible, so clear this
bit. (Otherwise a value depending on time.tm_wday would have to be
written to register 0x19.)
Also optimize setting the AIE bit to use a single register write instead
of a bulk write of three registers.

s3c_rtc_enable/disable_clk() functions were designed to be called multiple
times without reference counting, because they were initially only used in
alarm setting/clearing functions, which can be called both when alarm is
already set or not. Later however, calls to those functions have been added to
other places in the driver - like time and /proc reading callbacks, what
results in broken alarm if any of such events happens after the alarm has
been set. Fix this by simplifying s3c_rtc_enable/disable_clk() functions
to rely on proper reference counting in clock core and move alarm enable
counter to s3c_rtc_setaie() function.

The semantics of what "in core" means for the mincore() system call are
somewhat unclear, but Linux has always (since 2.3.52, which is when
mincore() was initially done) treated it as "page is available in page
cache" rather than "page is mapped in the mapping".
The problem with that traditional semantic is that it exposes a lot of
system cache state that it really probably shouldn't, and that users
shouldn't really even care about.
So let's try to avoid that information leak by simply changing the
semantics to be that mincore() counts actual mapped pages, not pages
that might be cheaply mapped if they were faulted (note the "might be"
part of the old semantics: being in the cache doesn't actually guarantee
that you can access them without IO anyway, since things like network
filesystems may have to revalidate the cache before use).
In many ways the old semantics were somewhat insane even aside from the
information leak issue. From the very beginning (and that beginning is
a long time ago: 2.3.52 was released in March 2000, I think), the code
had a comment saying
Later we can get more picky about what "in core" means precisely.
and this is that "later". Admittedly it is much later than is really
comfortable.
NOTE! This is a real semantic change, and it is for example known to
change the output of "fincore", since that program literally does a
mmmap without populating it, and then doing "mincore()" on that mapping
that doesn't actually have any pages in it.
I'm hoping that nobody actually has any workflow that cares, and the
info leak is real.
We may have to do something different if it turns out that people have
valid reasons to want the old semantics, and if we can limit the
information leak sanely.
