2e17c5a97e Merge branch 'drm-next' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux
Pull drm updates from Dave Airlie:
 "Okay this is the big one, I was stalled on the fbdev pull req as I
  stupidly let fbdev guys merge a patch I required to fix a warning with
  some patches I had, they ended up merging the patch from the wrong
  place, but the warning should be fixed.  In future I'll just take the
  patch myself!

  Outside drm:

  There are some snd changes for the HDMI audio interactions on haswell,
  they've been acked for inclusion via my tree.  This relies on the
  wound/wait tree from Ingo which is already merged.

  Major changes:

  AMD finally released the dynamic power management code for all their
  GPUs from r600->present day, this is great, off by default for now but
  also a huge amount of code, in fact it is most of this pull request.

  Since it landed there has been a lot of community testing and Alex has
  sent a lot of fixes for any bugs found so far.  I suspect radeon might
  now be the biggest kernel driver ever :-P p.s.  radeon.dpm=1 to enable
  dynamic powermanagement for anyone.

  New drivers:

  Renesas r-car display unit.

  Other highlights:

   - core: GEM CMA prime support, use new w/w mutexs for TTM
     reservations, cursor hotspot, doc updates
   - dvo chips: chrontel 7010B support
   - i915: Haswell (fbc, ips, vecs, watermarks, audio powerwell),
     Valleyview (enabled by default, rc6), lots of pll reworking, 30bpp
     support (this time for sure)
   - nouveau: async buffer object deletion, context/register init
     updates, kernel vp2 engine support, GF117 support, GK110 accel
     support (with external nvidia ucode), context cleanups.
   - exynos: memory leak fixes, Add S3C64XX SoC series support, device
     tree updates, common clock framework support,
   - qxl: cursor hotspot support, multi-monitor support, suspend/resume
     support
   - mgag200: hw cursor support, g200 mode limiting
   - shmobile: prime support
   - tegra: fixes mostly

  I've been banging on this quite a lot due to the size of it, and it
  seems to okay on everything I've tested it on."

63e28a7a5f uvesafb: Clean up MTRR code
The old code allowed very strange memory types.  Now it works like
all the other video drivers: ioremap_wc is used unconditionally,
and MTRRs are set if PAT is unavailable (unless MTRR is disabled
by a module parameter).

UC, WB, and WT support is gone.  If there are MTRR conflicts that prevent
addition of a WC MTRR, adding a non-conflicting MTRR is pointless; it's
better to just turn off MTRR support entirely.

As an added bonus, any MTRR added is freed on unload.

48c68c4f1b Drivers: video: remove __dev* attributes.
CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

38bf195398 connector/userns: replace netlink uses of cap_raised() with capable()
In 2009 Philip Reiser notied that a few users of netlink connector
interface needed a capability check and added the idiom
cap_raised(nsp->eff_cap, CAP_SYS_ADMIN) to a few of them, on the premise
that netlink was asynchronous.

In 2011 Patrick McHardy noticed we were being silly because netlink is
synchronous and removed eff_cap from the netlink_skb_params and changed
the idiom to cap_raised(current_cap(), CAP_SYS_ADMIN).

Looking at those spots with a fresh eye we should be calling
capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN).  The only reason I can see for not calling capable
is that it once appeared we were not in the same task as the caller which
would have made calling capable() impossible.

In the initial user_namespace the only difference between between
cap_raised(current_cap(), CAP_SYS_ADMIN) and capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) are a
few sanity checks and the fact that capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) sets
PF_SUPERPRIV if we use the capability.

Since we are going to be using root privilege setting PF_SUPERPRIV seems
the right thing to do.

The motivation for this that patch is that in a child user namespace
cap_raised(current_cap(),...) tests your capabilities with respect to that
child user namespace not capabilities in the initial user namespace and
thus will allow processes that should be unprivielged to use the kernel
services that are only protected with cap_raised(current_cap(),..).

To fix possible user_namespace issues and to just clean up the code
replace cap_raised(current_cap(), CAP_SYS_ADMIN) with
capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN).

90ab5ee941 module_param: make bool parameters really bool (drivers & misc)
module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int.  In
fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
trick.

It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option.  For this version
it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.

803a4e14a7 uvesafb,vesafb: create WC or WB PAT-entries
with an PAT-enabled kernel, when using uvesafb or vesafb, these drivers will
create uncached-minus PAT entries for the framebuffer memory because they use
ioremap() (not the *_cache or *_wc variants). When the framebuffer memory
intersects with the video RAM used by Xorg, the complete video RAM will be
mapped uncached-minus what results in a serve performance penalty.

Here are the correct MTRR entries created by uvesafb:
schlicht@netbook:~$ cat /proc/mtrr
reg00: base=0x000000000 ( 0MB), size= 2048MB, count=1: write-back
reg01: base=0x06ff00000 ( 1791MB), size= 1MB, count=1: uncachable
reg02: base=0x070000000 ( 1792MB), size= 256MB, count=1: uncachable
reg03: base=0x0d0000000 ( 3328MB), size= 16MB, count=1: write-combining

And here are the problematic PAT entries:
schlicht@netbook:~$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/x86/pat_memtype_list
PAT memtype list:
write-back @ 0x0-0x1000
uncached-minus @ 0x6fedd000-0x6fee3000

uncached-minus @ 0xf5404000-0xf5405000
uncached-minus @ 0xfed00000-0xfed01000

Therefore I created the attached patch for uvesafb which uses ioremap_wc() to
create the correct PAT entries, as shown below:
schlicht@netbook:~$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/x86/pat_memtype_list

uncached-minus @ 0xf5404000-0xf5405000
uncached-minus @ 0xfed00000-0xfed01000

This results in a performance gain, objectively measurable with e.g.
x11perf -comppixwin10 -comppixwin100 -comppixwin500:
1: x11perf_xaa.log
2: x11perf_xaa_patched.log

       1                2 Operation
-------- ---------------- -----------------
124000.0 202000.0 ( 1.63) Composite 10x10 from pixmap to window
  3340.0  24400.0 ( 7.31) Composite 100x100 from pixmap to window
   131.0   1150.0 ( 8.78) Composite 500x500 from pixmap to window

You can see the serve performance gain when composing larger pixmaps to window.

The patches replace the ioremap() function with the variant matching the mtrr-
parameter. To create "write-back" PAT entries, the ioremap_cache() function
must be called after creating the MTRR entries, and the ioremap_cache() region
must completely fit into the MTRR region, this is why the MTRR region size is
now rounded up to the next power-of-two.

9bbb9e5a33 param: use ops in struct kernel_param, rather than get and set fns directly
This is more kernel-ish, saves some space, and also allows us to
expand the ops without breaking all the callers who are happy for the
new members to be NULL.

The few places which defined their own param types are changed to the
new scheme (more which crept in recently fixed in following patches).

Since we're touching them anyway, we change get() and set() to take a
const struct kernel_param (which they really are).  This causes some
harmless warnings until we fix them (in following patches).

To reduce churn, module_param_call creates the ops struct so the callers
don't have to change (and casts the functions to reduce warnings).
The modern version which takes an ops struct is called module_param_cb.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

f5c15d0b37 fb: remove fb_save_state() and fb_restore_state operations
Remove fb_save_state() and fb_restore_state operations from frame buffer layer.
They are used only in two drivers:
1. savagefb  - and cause bug #11248
2. uvesafb

Usage of these operations is misunderstood in both drivers so kill these
operations, fix the bug #11248 and avoid confusion in the future.

Tested on Savage 3D/MV card and the patch fixes the bug #11248.

The frame buffer layer uses these funtions during switch between graphics
and text mode of the console, but these drivers saves state before
switching of the frame buffer (in the fb_open) and after releasing it (in
the fb_release).  This defeats the purpose of these operations.

0741241c6b connector: make callback argument type explicit
The connector documentation states that the argument to the callback
function is always a pointer to a struct cn_msg, but rather than encode it
in the API itself, it uses a void pointer everywhere.  This doesn't make
much sense to encode the pointer in documentation as it prevents proper C
type checking from occurring and can easily allow people to use the wrong
pointer type.  So convert the argument type to an explicit struct cn_msg
pointer.

3) Return -EINVAL from param_set_scroll if the value is bad, so it's

23b7365454 uvesafb: fix selecting mode with the vbemode option
If the vbemode option is used, uvesafb calls fb_get_mode() without first
setting the resolution in info->var.  This results in a division by zero
in fb_get_mode(), as evidenced e.g.  in [1].  Fix this by ensuring the
info->var structure is populated before fb_get_mode() is called.

ff491a7334 netlink: change return-value logic of netlink_broadcast()
Currently, netlink_broadcast() reports errors to the caller if no
messages at all were delivered:

1) If, at least, one message has been delivered correctly, returns 0.
2) Otherwise, if no messages at all were delivered due to skb_clone()
   failure, return -ENOBUFS.
3) Otherwise, if there are no listeners, return -ESRCH.

With this patch, the caller knows if the delivery of any of the
messages to the listeners have failed:

1) If it fails to deliver any message (for whatever reason), return
   -ENOBUFS.
2) Otherwise, if all messages were delivered OK, returns 0.
3) Otherwise, if no listeners, return -ESRCH.

In the current ctnetlink code and in Netfilter in general, we can add
reliable logging and connection tracking event delivery by dropping the
packets whose events were not successfully delivered over Netlink. Of
course, this option would be settable via /proc as this approach reduces
performance (in terms of filtered connections per seconds by a stateful
firewall) but providing reliable logging and event delivery (for
conntrackd) in return.

This patch also changes some clients of netlink_broadcast() that
may report ENOBUFS errors via printk. This error handling is not
of any help. Instead, the userspace daemons that are listening to
those netlink messages should resync themselves with the kernel-side
if they hit ENOBUFS.

BTW, netlink_broadcast() clients include those that call
cn_netlink_send(), nlmsg_multicast() and genlmsg_multicast() since they
internally call netlink_broadcast() and return its error value.

9350cc90ca uvesafb: don't treat mode info retrieval failures as errors
Some BIOSes return error codes when queried for information about
modes from their own modelist.  uvesafb treats this as an error
case and bails out.

Change this behavior so that broken modes do not prevent the driver
from working.  Only the failure to retrieve information about any
usable video mode is considered to be an error case.

5e72b32d86 uvesafb: don't treat valid modes returned byfb_find_mode() as errors
Don't treat valid modes returned by fb_find_mode() (best-fit modes, default
modes or the first valid mode) as errors.

Currently, when fb_find_mode() finds a valid mode belonging to one of the
above-mentioned classes, uvesafb will ignore it and will try to set a 640x480
video mode.  The expected behaviour (introduced by this patch) would be to use
the valid mode returned by fb_find_mode() instead.

8bdb3a2d7d uvesafb: the driver core
uvesafb is an enhanced version of vesafb.  It uses a userspace helper (v86d)
to execute calls to the x86 Video BIOS functions.  The driver is not limited
to any specific arch and whether it works on a given arch or not depends on
that arch being supported by the userspace daemon.  It has been tested on
x86_32 and x86_64.

A single BIOS call is represented by an instance of the uvesafb_ktask
structure.  This structure contains a buffer, a completion struct and a
uvesafb_task substructure, containing the values of the x86 registers, a flags
field and a field indicating the length of the buffer.  Whenever a BIOS call
is made in the driver, uvesafb_exec() builds a message using the uvesafb_task
substructure and the contents of the buffer.  This message is then assigned a
random ack number and sent to the userspace daemon using the connector
interface.

The message's sequence number is used as an index for the uvfb_tasks array,
which provides a mapping from the messages coming from userspace to the
in-kernel uvesafb_ktask structs.

The userspace daemon performs the requested operation and sends a reply in the
form of a uvesafb_task struct and, optionally, a buffer.  The seq and ack
numbers in the reply should be exactly the same as those in the request.

Each message from userspace is processed by uvesafb_cn_callback() and after
passing a few sanity checks leads to the completion of a BIOS call request.
