2013-11-14Merge branch 'for-linus-dma-masks' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-armLinus Torvalds
Pull DMA mask updates from Russell King: "This series cleans up the handling of DMA masks in a lot of drivers, fixing some bugs as we go. Some of the more serious errors include: - drivers which only set their coherent DMA mask if the attempt to set the streaming mask fails. - drivers which test for a NULL dma mask pointer, and then set the dma mask pointer to a location in their module .data section - which will cause problems if the module is reloaded. To counter these, I have introduced two helper functions: - dma_set_mask_and_coherent() takes care of setting both the streaming and coherent masks at the same time, with the correct error handling as specified by the API. - dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent() which resolves the problem of drivers forcefully setting DMA masks. This is more a marker for future work to further clean these locations up - the code which creates the devices really should be initialising these, but to fix that in one go along with this change could potentially be very disruptive. The last thing this series does is prise away some of Linux's addition to "DMA addresses are physical addresses and RAM always starts at zero". We have ARM LPAE systems where all system memory is above 4GB physical, hence having DMA masks interpreted by (eg) the block layers as describing physical addresses in the range 0..DMAMASK fails on these platforms. Santosh Shilimkar addresses this in this series; the patches were copied to the appropriate people multiple times but were ignored. Fixing this also gets rid of some ARM weirdness in the setup of the max*pfn variables, and brings ARM into line with every other Linux architecture as far as those go" * 'for-linus-dma-masks' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm: (52 commits) ARM: 7805/1: mm: change max*pfn to include the physical offset of memory ARM: 7797/1: mmc: Use dma_max_pfn(dev) helper for bounce_limit calculations ARM: 7796/1: scsi: Use dma_max_pfn(dev) helper for bounce_limit calculations ARM: 7795/1: mm: dma-mapping: Add dma_max_pfn(dev) helper function ARM: 7794/1: block: Rename parameter dma_mask to max_addr for blk_queue_bounce_limit() ARM: DMA-API: better handing of DMA masks for coherent allocations ARM: 7857/1: dma: imx-sdma: setup dma mask DMA-API: firmware/google/gsmi.c: avoid direct access to DMA masks DMA-API: dcdbas: update DMA mask handing DMA-API: dma: edma.c: no need to explicitly initialize DMA masks DMA-API: usb: musb: use platform_device_register_full() to avoid directly messing with dma masks DMA-API: crypto: remove last references to 'static struct device *dev' DMA-API: crypto: fix ixp4xx crypto platform device support DMA-API: others: use dma_set_coherent_mask() DMA-API: staging: use dma_set_coherent_mask() DMA-API: usb: use new dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent() DMA-API: usb: use dma_set_coherent_mask() DMA-API: parport: parport_pc.c: use dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent() DMA-API: net: octeon: use dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent() DMA-API: net: nxp/lpc_eth: use dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent() ...

2013-10-31DMA-API: firmware/google/gsmi.c: avoid direct access to DMA masksRussell King
This driver doesn't need to directly access DMA masks if it uses the platform_device_register_full() API rather than platform_device_register_simple() - the former function can initialize the DMA mask appropriately. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2013-10-31DMA-API: dcdbas: update DMA mask handingRussell King
dcdbas was explicitly initializing DMA masks thusly: dcdbas_pdev->dev.coherent_dma_mask = DMA_BIT_MASK(32); dcdbas_pdev->dev.dma_mask = &dcdbas_pdev->dev.coherent_dma_mask; which bypasses the architecture check. Moreover, it is creating the dcdbas_pdev device itself, and using the platform_device_register_full() avoids some of this explicit initialization. Convert the driver to use platform_device_register_full(), and as it makes use of coherent DMA, also call dma_set_coherent_mask() to ensure that the architecture gets to check the mask.

2013-09-25efi: Fix types in EFI calls to match EFI function definitions.Roy Franz
EFI calls can made directly on ARM, so the function pointers are directly invoked. This allows types to be checked at compile time, so here we ensure that the parameters match the function signature.

Rename relocate_kernel() to efi_relocate_kernel(), and take parameters rather than x86 specific structure. Add max_addr argument as for ARM we have some address constraints that we need to enforce when relocating the kernel.

2013-09-25efi: Enforce minimum alignment of 1 page on allocations.Roy Franz
The efi_high_alloc() and efi_low_alloc() functions use the EFI_ALLOCATE_ADDRESS option to the EFI function allocate_pages(), which requires a minimum of page alignment, and rejects all other requests.

Add system table pointer argument to shared EFI stub related functions so they no longer use a global system table pointer as they did when part of eboot.c.

2013-07-03dmi: add support for exact DMI matches in addition to substring matchingJani Nikula
dmi_match() considers a substring match to be a successful match. This is not always sufficient to distinguish between DMI data for different systems. Add support for exact string matching using strcmp() in addition to the substring matching using strstr(). The specific use case in the i915 driver is to allow us to use an exact match for D510MO, without also incorrectly matching D510MOV: { .ident = "Intel D510MO", .matches = { DMI_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_VENDOR, "Intel"), DMI_EXACT_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_NAME, "D510MO"), }, } Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Cc: <annndddrr@gmail.com> Cc: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Cornel Panceac <cpanceac@gmail.com> Acked-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Cc: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2013-06-28efivars: If pstore_register fails, free unneeded pstore bufferLenny Szubowicz
This is patch 3/3 of a patch set that cleans up pstore_register failure paths. If efivars fails to register with pstore, there is no point to keeping the 4 KB buffer around. It's only used by the pstore read/write routines.
