e343a895a9 lib: use generic pci_iomap on all architectures
Many architectures don't want to pull in iomap.c,
 so they ended up duplicating pci_iomap from that file.
 That function isn't trivial, and we are going to modify it
 https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/14/183
 so the duplication hurts.
 
 This reduces the scope of the problem significantly,
 by moving pci_iomap to a separate file and
 referencing that from all architectures.

75957ba36c dql: Dynamic queue limits
Implementation of dynamic queue limits (dql).  This is a libary which
allows a queue limit to be dynamically managed.  The goal of dql is
to set the queue limit, number of objects to the queue, to be minimized
without allowing the queue to be starved.

dql would be used with a queue which has these properties:

1) Objects are queued up to some limit which can be expressed as a
   count of objects.
2) Periodically a completion process executes which retires consumed
   objects.
3) Starvation occurs when limit has been reached, all queued data has
   actually been consumed but completion processing has not yet run,
   so queuing new data is blocked.
4) Minimizing the amount of queued data is desirable.

A canonical example of such a queue would be a NIC HW transmit queue.

The queue limit is dynamic, it will increase or decrease over time
depending on the workload.  The queue limit is recalculated each time
completion processing is done.  Increases occur when the queue is
starved and can exponentially increase over successive intervals.
Decreases occur when more data is being maintained in the queue than
needed to prevent starvation.  The number of extra objects, or "slack",
is measured over successive intervals, and to avoid hysteresis the
limit is only reduced by the miminum slack seen over a configurable
time period.

dql API provides routines to manage the queue:
- dql_init is called to intialize the dql structure
- dql_reset is called to reset dynamic values
- dql_queued called when objects are being enqueued
- dql_avail returns availability in the queue
- dql_completed is called when objects have be consumed in the queue

Configuration consists of:
- max_limit, maximum limit
- min_limit, minimum limit
- slack_hold_time, time to measure instances of slack before reducing
  queue limit

051dbb918c crypto: digital signature verification support
This patch implements RSA digital signature verification using GnuPG library.

The format of the signature and the public key is defined by their respective
headers. The signature header contains version information, algorithm,
and keyid, which was used to generate the signature.
The key header contains version and algorythim type.
The payload of the signature and the key are multi-precision integers.

The signing and key management utilities evm-utils provide functionality
to generate signatures and load keys into the kernel keyring.
When the key is added to the kernel keyring, the keyid defines the name
of the key.

7e8dec918e crypto: GnuPG based MPI lib - additional sources (part 4)
Adds the multi-precision-integer maths library which was originally taken
from GnuPG and ported to the kernel by (among others) David Howells.
This version is taken from Fedora kernel 2.6.32-71.14.1.el6.
The difference is that checkpatch reported errors and warnings have been fixed.

This library is used to implemenet RSA digital signature verification
used in IMA/EVM integrity protection subsystem.

Due to patch size limitation, the patch is divided into 4 parts.

This code is unnecessary for RSA digital signature verification,
but for completeness it is included here and can be compiled,
if CONFIG_MPILIB_EXTRA is enabled.

f49f23abf3 lib, Add lock-less NULL terminated single list
Cmpxchg is used to implement adding new entry to the list, deleting
all entries from the list, deleting first entry of the list and some
other operations.

Because this is a single list, so the tail can not be accessed in O(1).

If there are multiple producers and multiple consumers, llist_add can
be used in producers and llist_del_all can be used in consumers.  They
can work simultaneously without lock.  But llist_del_first can not be
used here.  Because llist_del_first depends on list->first->next does
not changed if list->first is not changed during its operation, but
llist_del_first, llist_add, llist_add (or llist_del_all, llist_add,
llist_add) sequence in another consumer may violate that.

If there are multiple producers and one consumer, llist_add can be
used in producers and llist_del_all or llist_del_first can be used in
the consumer.

This can be summarized as follow:

           |   add    | del_first |  del_all
 add       |    -     |     -     |     -
 del_first |          |     L     |     L
 del_all   |          |           |     -

Where "-" stands for no lock is needed, while "L" stands for lock is
needed.

The list entries deleted via llist_del_all can be traversed with
traversing function such as llist_for_each etc.  But the list entries
can not be traversed safely before deleted from the list.  The order
of deleted entries is from the newest to the oldest added one.  If you
want to traverse from the oldest to the newest, you must reverse the
order by yourself before traversing.

The basic atomic operation of this list is cmpxchg on long.  On
architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation, the
list can NOT be used in NMI handler.  So code uses the list in NMI
handler should depend on CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.

NOTE!

This merge commit was created to fix compilation error. The block
tree was merged upstream and removed the 'elv_queue_empty()'
function which the new 'mtdswap' driver is using. So a simple
merge of the mtd tree with upstream does not compile. And the
mtd tree has already be published, so re-basing it is not an option.

To fix this unfortunate situation, I had to merge upstream into the
mtd-2.6.git tree without committing, put the fixup patch on top of
this, and then commit this. The result is that we do not have commits
which do not compile.

In other words, this merge commit "merges" 3 things: the MTD tree, the
upstream tree, and the fixup patch.

437aa565e2 lib: add shared BCH ECC library
This is a new software BCH encoding/decoding library, similar to the shared
Reed-Solomon library.

Binary BCH (Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem) codes are widely used to correct
errors in NAND flash devices requiring more than 1-bit ecc correction; they
are generally better suited for NAND flash than RS codes because NAND bit
errors do not occur in bursts. Latest SLC NAND devices typically require at
least 4-bit ecc protection per 512 bytes block.

This library provides software encoding/decoding, but may also be used with
ASIC/SoC hardware BCH engines to perform error correction. It is being
currently used for this purpose on an OMAP3630 board (4bit/8bit HW BCH). It
has also been used to decode raw dumps of NAND devices with on-die BCH ecc
engines (e.g. Micron 4bit ecc SLC devices).

Latest NAND devices (including SLC) can exhibit high error rates (typically
a dozen or more bitflips per hour during stress tests); in order to
minimize the performance impact of error correction, this library
implements recently developed algorithms for fast polynomial root finding
(see bch.c header for details) instead of the traditional exhaustive Chien
root search; a few performance figures are provided below:

Platform: arm926ejs @ 468 MHz, 32 KiB icache, 16 KiB dcache
BCH ecc : 4-bit per 512 bytes

Encoding average throughput: 250 Mbits/s

Error correction time (compared with Chien search):

        average   worst      average (Chien)  worst (Chien)
----------------------------------------------------------
1 bit    8.5 µs   11 µs         200 µs           383 µs
2 bit    9.7 µs   12.5 µs       477 µs           728 µs
3 bit   18.1 µs   20.6 µs       758 µs          1010 µs
4 bit   19.5 µs   23 µs        1028 µs          1280 µs

In the above figures, "worst" is meant in terms of error pattern, not in
terms of cache miss / page faults effects (not taken into account here).

The library has been extensively tested on the following platforms: x86,
x86_64, arm926ejs, omap3630, qemu-ppc64, qemu-mips.

c39649c331 lib: cpu_rmap: CPU affinity reverse-mapping
When initiating I/O on a multiqueue and multi-IRQ device, we may want
to select a queue for which the response will be handled on the same
or a nearby CPU.  This requires a reverse-map of IRQ affinity.  Add
library functions to support a generic reverse-mapping from CPUs to
objects with affinity and the specific case where the objects are
IRQs.

3ebe12439b decompressors: add boot-time XZ support
This implements the API defined in <linux/decompress/generic.h> which is
used for kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression.  This patch together
with the first patch is enough for XZ-compressed initramfs and initrd;
XZ-compressed kernel will need arch-specific changes.

The buffering requirements described in decompress_unxz.c are stricter
than with gzip, so the relevant changes should be done to the
arch-specific code when adding support for XZ-compressed kernel.
Similarly, the heap size in arch-specific pre-boot code may need to be
increased (30 KiB is enough).

The XZ decompressor needs memmove(), memeq() (memcmp() == 0), and
memzero() (memset(ptr, 0, size)), which aren't available in all
arch-specific pre-boot environments.  I'm including simple versions in
decompress_unxz.c, but a cleaner solution would naturally be nicer.

24fa0402a9 decompressors: add XZ decompressor module
In userspace, the .lzma format has become mostly a legacy file format that
got superseded by the .xz format.  Similarly, LZMA Utils was superseded by
XZ Utils.

These patches add support for XZ decompression into the kernel.  Most of
the code is as is from XZ Embedded <http://tukaani.org/xz/embedded.html>.
It was written for the Linux kernel but is usable in other projects too.

Advantages of XZ over the current LZMA code in the kernel:
  - Nice API that can be used by other kernel modules; it's
    not limited to kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression.
  - Integrity check support (CRC32)
  - BCJ filters improve compression of executable code on
    certain architectures. These together with LZMA2 can
    produce a few percent smaller kernel or Squashfs images
    than plain LZMA without making the decompression slower.

This patch: Add the main decompression code (xz_dec), testing module
(xz_dec_test), wrapper script (xz_wrap.sh) for the xz command line tool,
and documentation.  The xz_dec module is enough to have a usable XZ
decompressor e.g.  for Squashfs.

c5485a7e75 lib: Add generic exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) function
This adds generic functions for calculating Exponentially Weighted Moving
Averages (EWMA). This implementation makes use of a structure which keeps the
EWMA parameters and a scaled up internal representation to reduce rounding
errors.

The original idea for this implementation came from the rt2x00 driver
(rt2x00link.c). I would like to use it in several places in the mac80211 and
ath5k code and I hope it can be useful in many other places in the kernel code.

b8fa05719b Revert "lib: build list_sort() only if needed"
This reverts commit a069c266ae.

It turns ou that not only was it missing a case (XFS) that needed it,
but perhaps more importantly, people sometimes want to enable new
modules that they hadn't had enabled before, and if such a module uses
list_sort(), it can't easily be inserted any more.

So rather than add a "select LIST_SORT" to the XFS case, just leave it
compiled in.  It's not all _that_ big, after all, and the inconvenience
isn't worth it.

09d4e0edd4 lib: Provide generic atomic64_t implementation
Many processor architectures have no 64-bit atomic instructions, but
we need atomic64_t in order to support the perf_counter subsystem.

This adds an implementation of 64-bit atomic operations using hashed
spinlocks to provide atomicity.  For each atomic operation, the address
of the atomic64_t variable is hashed to an index into an array of 16
spinlocks.  That spinlock is taken (with interrupts disabled) around the
operation, which can then be coded non-atomically within the lock.

On UP, all the spinlock manipulation goes away and we simply disable
interrupts around each operation.  In fact gcc eliminates the whole
atomic64_lock variable as well.
