1a31368bf9 mtd: add a flags for partitions which should just leave smth. after them
Add support for MTDPART_OFS_RETAIN: such partitions start at the current
offset, take as much space as possible, but rain part->size bytes after
the end of the partitions for other parts. Primarily this is intended
for ts72xx arm platforms cleanup.

b8f8068405 mtd: nand: move NAND_CREATE_EMPTY_BBT flag
The NAND_CREATE_EMPTY_BBT flag was added by commit:
  453281a973
  mtd: nand: introduce NAND_CREATE_EMPTY_BBT
This flag is not used within the kernel and not explained well, so I
took the liberty to edit its comments.

Also, this is a BBT-related flag (and closely tied with NAND_BBT_CREATE)
so I'm moving it to bbm.h next to NAND_BBT_CREATE, thus requiring that
we use the flag in nand_chip.bbt_options, *not* in nand_chip.options.

bb9ebd4e71 mtd: nand: rename NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT
Recall the recently added prefix requirements:
 * "NAND_" for flags in nand.h, used in nand_chip.options
 * "NAND_BBT_" for flags in bbm.h, used in nand_chip.bbt_options
        or in nand_bbt_descr.options

Thus, I am changing NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT to NAND_BBT_USE_FLASH.

Again, this flag is found in bbm.h and so should NOT be used in the
"nand_chip.options" field.

a40f73419f mtd: nand: consolidate redundant flash-based BBT flags
This patch works with the following three flags from two headers (nand.h
and bbm.h):
  (1) NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT (nand.h)
  (2) NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT_NO_OOB (nand.h)
  (3) NAND_BBT_NO_OOB (bbm.h)

These flags are all related and interdependent, yet they were in
different headers. Flag (2) is simply the combination of (1) and (3) and
can be eliminated.

This patch accomplishes the following:
  * eliminate NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT_NO_OOB (i.e., flag (2))
  * move NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT (i.e., flag (1)) to bbm.h

It's important to note that because (1) and (3) are now both found in
bbm.h, they should NOT be used in the "nand_chip.options" field.

I removed a small section from the mtdnand DocBook because it referes to
NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT in nand.h, which has been moved to bbm.h.

5fb1549dfc mtd: nand: separate chip options / bbt_options
This patch handles the problems we've been having with using conflicting
flags from nand.h and bbm.h in the same nand_chip.options field. We
should try to separate these two spaces a little more clearly, and so I
have added a bbt_options field to nand_chip.

Important notes about nand_chip fields:
* bbt_options field should contain ONLY flags from bbm.h. They should be
  able to pass safely to a nand_bbt_descr data structure.
    - BBT option flags start with the "NAND_BBT_" prefix.
* options field should contian ONLY flags from nand.h. Ideally, they
  should not be involved in any BBT related options.
    - NAND chip option flags start with the "NAND_" prefix.
* Every flag should have a nice comment explaining what the flag is. While
  this is not yet the case on all existing flags, please be sure to write
  one for new flags. Even better, you can help document the code better
  yourself!

Please try to follow these conventions to make everyone's lives easier.

Among the flags that are being moved to the new bbt_options field
throughout various drivers, etc. are:
 * NAND_BBT_SCANLASTPAGE
 * NAND_BBT_SCAN2NDPAGE
and there will be more to come.

a0dc552951 mtd: nand: remove NAND_BBT_SCANBYTE1AND6 option
This patch reverts most of:
    commit 58373ff0af
    mtd: nand: more BB Detection refactoring and dynamic scan options

According to the discussion at:
    http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2011-May/035696.html
the NAND_BBT_SCANBYTE1AND6 flag, although technically valid, can break
some existing ECC layouts that use the 6th byte in the OOB for ECC data.
Furthermore, we apparently do not need to scan both bytes 1 and 6 in
the OOB region of the devices under consideration; instead, we only need
to scan one or the other.

Thus, the NAND_BBT_SCANBYTE1AND6 flag is at best unnecessary and at
worst a regression.

e8abccb719 posix-cpu-timers: Cure SMP accounting oddities
David reported:

  Attached below is a watered-down version of rt/tst-cpuclock2.c from
  GLIBC.  Just build it with "gcc -o test test.c -lpthread -lrt" or
  similar.

  Run it several times, and you will see cases where the main thread
  will measure a process clock difference before and after the nanosleep
  which is smaller than the cpu-burner thread's individual thread clock
  difference.  This doesn't make any sense since the cpu-burner thread
  is part of the top-level process's thread group.

  I've reproduced this on both x86-64 and sparc64 (using both 32-bit and
  64-bit binaries).

  For example:

  [davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$ ./test
  process: before(0.001221967) after(0.498624371) diff(497402404)
  thread:  before(0.000081692) after(0.498316431) diff(498234739)
  self:    before(0.001223521) after(0.001240219) diff(16698)
  [davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$

  The diff of 'process' should always be >= the diff of 'thread'.

  I make sure to wrap the 'thread' clock measurements the most tightly
  around the nanosleep() call, and that the 'process' clock measurements
  are the outer-most ones.

		 me_before.tv_sec, me_before.tv_nsec,
		 me_after.tv_sec, me_after.tv_nsec, diff);

	  return 0;
  }

This is due to us using p->se.sum_exec_runtime in
thread_group_cputime() where we iterate the thread group and sum all
data. This does not take time since the last schedule operation (tick
or otherwise) into account. We can cure this by using
task_sched_runtime() at the cost of having to take locks.

This also means we can (and must) do away with
thread_group_sched_runtime() since the modified thread_group_cputime()
is now more accurate and would deadlock when called from
thread_group_sched_runtime().

65516f8a7c clockevents: Add direct ktime programming function
There is at least one architecture (s390) with a sane clockevent device
that can be programmed with the equivalent of a ktime. No need to create
a delta against the current time, the ktime can be used directly.

A new clock device function 'set_next_ktime' is introduced that is called
with the unmodified ktime for the timer if the clock event device has the 
CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_KTIME bit set.

d1748302f7 clockevents: Make minimum delay adjustments configurable
The automatic increase of the min_delta_ns of a clockevents device
should be done in the clockevents code as the minimum delay is an
attribute of the clockevents device.

In addition not all architectures want the automatic adjustment, on a
massively virtualized system it can happen that the programming of a
clock event fails several times in a row because the virtual cpu has
been rescheduled quickly enough. In that case the minimum delay will
erroneously be increased with no way back. The new config symbol
GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_MIN_ADJUST is used to enable the automatic
adjustment. The config option is selected only for x86.

6f306441e9 regmap: Add support for device specific write and read flag masks.
Some buses like SPI have no standard notation of read or write operations.
The general scheme here is to set or clear specific bits in the register
address to indicate whether the operation is a read or write. We already
support having a read flag mask per bus, but as there is no standard
the bits which need to be set or cleared differ between devices and vendors,
thus we need a mechanism to specify them per device.

This patch adds two new entries to the regmap_config struct, read_flag_mask and
write_flag_mask. These will be or'ed onto the top byte when doing a read or
write operation. If both masks are empty the device will fallback to the
regmap_bus masks.

c64e148a3b trace: Add ring buffer stats to measure rate of events
The stats file under per_cpu folder provides the number of entries,
overruns and other statistics about the CPU ring buffer. However, the
numbers do not provide any indication of how full the ring buffer is in
bytes compared to the overall size in bytes. Also, it is helpful to know
the rate at which the cpu buffer is filling up.

This patch adds an entry "bytes: " in printed stats for per_cpu ring
buffer which provides the actual bytes consumed in the ring buffer. This
field includes the number of bytes used by recorded events and the
padding bytes added when moving the tail pointer to next page.

It also adds the following time stamps:
"oldest event ts:" - the oldest timestamp in the ring buffer
"now ts:"  - the timestamp at the time of reading

The field "now ts" provides a consistent time snapshot to the userspace
when being read. This is read from the same trace clock used by tracing
event timestamps.

Together, these values provide the rate at which the buffer is filling
up, from the formula:
bytes / (now_ts - oldest_event_ts)

a8d757ef07 perf events: Fix slow and broken cgroup context switch code
The current cgroup context switch code was incorrect leading
to bogus counts. Furthermore, as soon as there was an active
cgroup event on a CPU, the context switch cost on that CPU
would increase by a significant amount as demonstrated by a
simple ping/pong example:

 $ ./pong
 Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
 10684.51 ctxsw/s

Now start a cgroup perf stat:
 $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test  -C 1 -- sleep 100

$ ./pong
 Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
 6674.61 ctxsw/s

That's a 37% penalty.

Note that pong is not even in the monitored cgroup.

The results shown by perf stat are bogus:
 $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test  -C 1 -- sleep 100

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 100':

 CPU1 <not counted> cycles   test
 CPU1 16,984,189,138 cycles  #    0.000 GHz

The second 'cycles' event should report a count @ CPU clock
(here 2.4GHz) as it is counting across all cgroups.

The patch below fixes the bogus accounting and bypasses any
cgroup switches in case the outgoing and incoming tasks are
in the same cgroup.

With this patch the same test now yields:
 $ ./pong
 Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
 10775.30 ctxsw/s

Start perf stat with cgroup:

 $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test  -C 1 -- sleep 10

Run pong outside the cgroup:
 $ /pong
 Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
 10687.80 ctxsw/s

The penalty is now less than 2%.

And the results for perf stat are correct:

$ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test  -C 1 -- sleep 10

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 10':

 CPU1 <not counted> cycles test #    0.000 GHz
 CPU1 23,933,981,448 cycles      #    0.000 GHz

Now perf stat reports the correct counts for
for the non cgroup event.

If we run pong inside the cgroup, then we also get the
correct counts:

$ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test  -C 1 -- sleep 10

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 10':

 CPU1 22,297,726,205 cycles test #    0.000 GHz
 CPU1 23,933,981,448 cycles      #    0.000 GHz

      10.001457237 seconds time elapsed

a72c5e5eb7 [SCSI] genhd: add a new attribute "alias" in gendisk
This patch allows the user to set an "alias" of the disk via sysfs interface.

This patch only adds a new attribute "alias" in gendisk structure.
To show the alias instead of the device name in kernel messages,
we need to revise printk messages and use alias_name() in them.

Example:
(current) printk("disk name is %s\n", disk->disk_name);
(new)     printk("disk name is %s\n", alias_name(disk));

Users can use alphabets, numbers, '-' and '_' in "alias" attribute. A disk can
have an "alias" which length is up to 255 bytes. This attribute is write-once.

3c9c36bced net: Define NETDEV_FCOE_WWNN, NETDEV_FCOE_WWPN only when CONFIG_LIBFCOE is enabled
bnx2fc driver calls netdev->netdev_ops->ndo_fcoe_get_wwn() and it may not
be defined with the current Kconfig dependencies.  ndo_fcoe_get_wwn is
dependent on CONFIG_FCOE, but bnx2fc does not select CONFIG_FCOE, as it does
not depend on fcoe driver. Since both fcoe and bnx2fc drivers select
CONFIG_LIBFCOE, define NETDEV_FCOE_WWNN and NETDEV_FCOE_WWPN when
CONFIG_LIBFCOE is defined.
