Regulator handling for DPI and SDI is currently handled in the core.c, using the 'virtual' omapdss platform device.

2013-08-29OMAPDSS: fix DPI and SDI device idsTomi Valkeinen
The DPI and SDI platform devices are currently created with the ID of -1. The ID doesn't currently affect anything. However, we have added regulator supply entries for "omapdss_dpi.0" and "omapdss_sdi.0" to the board files, although these supply entries are not yet used. As the ID used for the devices is -1, these regulator supply entries will not work. To fix the issue, assign ID of 0 to the devices. In the future there may be more than one DPI or SDI output, so it makes sense to have a proper ID for them.

OMAPDSS's RFBI encoder driver has not been working for some time. The Nokia N800 is the only board in the mainline that uses RFBI, but it has never been fully functional. The RFBI driver needs to be updated to the new panel model, but as the driver is rather unmaintained and there's no way to test the changes, let's mark the driver as broken.

2013-08-29workqueue: cond_resched() after processing each work itemTejun Heo
If !PREEMPT, a kworker running work items back to back can hog CPU. This becomes dangerous when a self-requeueing work item which is waiting for something to happen races against stop_machine. Such self-requeueing work item would requeue itself indefinitely hogging the kworker and CPU it's running on while stop_machine would wait for that CPU to enter stop_machine while preventing anything else from happening on all other CPUs. The two would deadlock. Jamie Liu reports that this deadlock scenario exists around scsi_requeue_run_queue() and libata port multiplier support, where one port may exclude command processing from other ports. With the right timing, scsi_requeue_run_queue() can end up requeueing itself trying to execute an IO which is asked to be retried while another device has an exclusive access, which in turn can't make forward progress due to stop_machine. Fix it by invoking cond_resched() after executing each work item.

Convert the composition of devm_request_mem_region and devm_ioremap to a single call to devm_ioremap_resource. The associated call to platform_get_resource is also simplified and moved next to the new call to devm_ioremap_resource. This was done using a combination of the semantic patches devm_ioremap_resource.cocci and devm_request_and_ioremap.cocci, found in the scripts/coccinelle/api directory. This patch also removes the label exit_busy, to use the error code returned by the failing operation, rather than always -EBUSY.

2013-08-29regmap: rbtree: Make cache_present bitmap per nodeLars-Peter Clausen
With devices which have a dense and small register map but placed at a large offset the global cache_present bitmap imposes a huge memory overhead. Making the cache_present per rbtree node avoids the issue and easily reduces the memory footprint by a factor of ten. For devices with a more sparse map or without a large base register offset the memory usage might increase slightly by a few bytes, but not significantly. E.g. for a device which has ~50 registers at offset 0x4000 the memory footprint of the register cache goes down form 2496 bytes to 175 bytes. Moving the bitmap to a per node basis means that the handling of the bitmap is now cache implementation specific and can no longer be managed by the core. The regcache_sync_block() function is extended by a additional parameter so that the cache implementation can tell the core which registers in the block are set and which are not. The parameter is optional and if NULL the core assumes that all registers are set. The rbtree cache also needs to implement its own drop callback instead of relying on the core to handle this.

2013-08-29regmap: rbtree: Reduce number of nodes, take 2Lars-Peter Clausen
Support for reducing the number of nodes and memory consumption of the rbtree cache by allowing for small unused holes in the node's register cache block was initially added in commit 0c7ed856 ("regmap: Cut down on the average # of nodes in the rbtree cache"). But the commit had problems and so its effect was reverted again in commit 4e67fb5 ("regmap: rbtree: Fix overlapping rbnodes."). This patch brings the feature back of reducing the average number of nodes, which will speedup node look-up, while at the same time also reducing the memory usage of the rbtree cache. This patch takes a slightly different approach than the original patch though. It modifies the adjacent node look-up to not only consider nodes that are just one to the left or the right of the register but any node that falls in a certain range around the register. The range is calculated based on how much memory it would take to allocate a new node compared to how much memory it takes adding a set of unused registers to an existing node. E.g. if a node takes up 24 bytes and each register in a block uses 1 byte the range will be from the register address - 24 to the register address + 24. If we find a node that falls within this range it is cheaper or as expensive to add the register to the existing node and have a couple of unused registers in the node's cache compared to allocating a new node.

2013-08-29regmap: rbtree: Simplify adjacent node look-upLars-Peter Clausen
A register which is adjacent to a node will either be left to the first register or right to the last register. It will not be within the node's range, so there is no point in checking for each register cached by the node whether the new register is next to it. It is sufficient to check whether the register comes before the first register or after the last register of the node.

2013-08-29s390/mm: implement software referenced bitsMartin Schwidefsky
The last remaining use for the storage key of the s390 architecture is reference counting. The alternative is to make page table entries invalid while they are old. On access the fault handler marks the pte/pmd as young which makes the pte/pmd valid if the access rights allow read access. The pte/pmd invalidations required for software managed reference bits cost a bit of performance, on the other hand the RRBE/RRBM instructions to read and reset the referenced bits are quite expensive as well.
