Pull driver core patches from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
"Here is the big driver core merge for 3.9-rc1
There are two major series here, both of which touch lots of drivers
all over the kernel, and will cause you some merge conflicts:
- add a new function called devm_ioremap_resource() to properly be
able to check return values.
- remove CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
Other than those patches, there's not much here, some minor fixes and
updates"

We (Linux Kernel Performance project) found a regression
introduced by commit:
5a505085f043 mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem
which converted all anon_vma::mutex locks rwsem write locks.
The semantics are the same, but the behavioral difference is
quite huge in some cases. After investigating it we found the
root cause: mutexes support lock stealing while rwsems don't.
Here is the link for the detailed regression report:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/29/84
Ingo suggested adding write lock stealing to rwsems:
"I think we should allow lock-steal between rwsem writers - that
will not hurt fairness as most rwsem fairness concerns relate to
reader vs. writer fairness"
And here is the rwsem-spinlock version.
With this patch, we got a double performance increase in one
test box with following aim7 workfile:
FILESIZE: 1M
POOLSIZE: 10M
10 fork_test
/usr/bin/time output w/o patch /usr/bin/time_output with patch
-- Percent of CPU this job got: 369% Percent of CPU this job got: 537%
Voluntary context switches: 640595016 Voluntary context switches: 157915561
We got a 45% increase in CPU usage and saved about 3/4 voluntary context switches.

To make the lockdep selftest working on RT we need to convert the
spinlock tests to a raw spinlock. Otherwise we cannot run the irq
context checks. For mainline this is just annotational as spinlocks
are mapped to raw_spinlocks anyway.

Commit 5a505085f043 ("mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex
to an rwsem") changed struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem, which
caused aim7 fork_test performance to drop by 50%.
Yuanhan Liu did the following excellent analysis:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/29/84
and found that the regression is caused by strict, serialized,
FIFO sequential write-ownership of rwsems. Ingo suggested
implementing opportunistic lock-stealing for the front writer
task in the waitqueue.
Yuanhan Liu implemented lock-stealing for spinlock-rwsems,
which indeed recovered much of the regression - confirming
the analysis that the main factor in the regression was the
FIFO writer-fairness of rwsems.
In this patch we allow lock-stealing to happen when the first
waiter is also writer. With that change in place the
aim7 fork_test performance is fully recovered on my
Intel NHM EP, NHM EX, SNB EP 2S and 4S test-machines.

Normal boot path on system with iommu support:
swiotlb buffer will be allocated early at first and then try to initialize
iommu, if iommu for intel or AMD could setup properly, swiotlb buffer
will be freed.
The early allocating is with bootmem, and could panic when we try to use
kdump with buffer above 4G only, or with memmap to limit mem under 4G.
for example: memmap=4095M$1M to remove memory under 4G.
According to Eric, add _nopanic version and no_iotlb_memory to fail
map single later if swiotlb is still needed.
-v2: don't pass nopanic, and use -ENOMEM return value according to Eric.

-v3: make swiotlb_init to be notpanic, but will affect:

Tiny RCU has historically omitted RCU CPU stall warnings in order to
reduce memory requirements, however, lack of these warnings caused
Thomas Gleixner some debugging pain recently. Therefore, this commit
adds RCU CPU stall warnings to tiny RCU if RCU_TRACE=y. This keeps
the memory footprint small, while still enabling CPU stall warnings
in kernels built to enable them.
Updated to include Josh Triplett's suggested use of RCU_STALL_COMMON
config variable to simplify #if expressions.

The ERR_PTR() and IS_ERR() macros used by the devm_ioremap_resource()
function are defined in the linux/err.h header. On ARM this seems to be
pulled in by one of the other headers but the build fails at least on
OpenRISC.

The devm_request_and_ioremap() function is very useful and helps avoid a
whole lot of boilerplate. However, one issue that keeps popping up is
its lack of a specific error code to determine which of the steps that
it performs failed. Furthermore, while the function gives an example and
suggests what error code to return on failure, a wide variety of error
codes are used throughout the tree.
In an attempt to fix these problems, this patch adds a new function that
drivers can transition to. The devm_ioremap_resource() returns a pointer
to the remapped I/O memory on success or an ERR_PTR() encoded error code
on failure. Callers can check for failure using IS_ERR() and determine
its cause by extracting the error code using PTR_ERR().
devm_request_and_ioremap() is implemented as a wrapper around the new
API and return NULL on failure as before. This ensures that backwards
compatibility is maintained until all users have been converted to the
new API, at which point the old devm_request_and_ioremap() function
should be removed.
A semantic patch is included which can be used to convert from the old
devm_request_and_ioremap() API to the new devm_ioremap_resource() API.
Some non-trivial cases may require manual intervention, though.

The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This
saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway.
bloat-o-meter output is below.
The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on
TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY
layer. Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate
symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than
"depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies.

removing TTY. The list is filtered to not show removed entries with awk

lib/rbtree.c declared __rb_erase_color() as __always_inline void, and
then exported it with EXPORT_SYMBOL.
This was because __rb_erase_color() must be exported for augmented
rbtree users, but it must also be inlined into rb_erase() so that the
dummy callback can get optimized out of that call site.
(Actually with a modern compiler, none of the dummy callback functions
should even be generated as separate text functions).
The above usage is legal C, but it was unusual enough for some compilers
to warn about it. This change makes things more explicit, with a static
__always_inline ____rb_erase_color function for use in rb_erase(), and a
separate non-inline __rb_erase_color function for use in
rb_erase_augmented call sites.

In some cases, free_irq_cpu_rmap() is called while holding a lock (eg
rtnl). This can lead to deadlocks, because it invokes
flush_scheduled_work() which ends up waiting for whole system workqueue
to flush, but some pending works might try to acquire the lock we are
already holding.
This commit uses reference-counting to replace
irq_run_affinity_notifiers(). It also removes
irq_run_affinity_notifiers() altogether.

Currently, rcutorture traces every read-side access. This can be
problematic because even a two-minute rcutorture run on a two-CPU system
can generate 28,853,363 reads. Normally, only a failing read is of
interest, so this commit traces adjusts rcutorture's tracing to only
trace failing reads. The resulting event tracing records the time

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.
This change removes the last of the __dev* markings from the kernel from
a variety of different, tiny, places.
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.

The atomic64 library uses a handful of static spin locks to implement
atomic 64-bit operations on architectures without support for atomic
64-bit instructions.
Unfortunately, the spinlocks are initialized in a pure initcall and that
is too late for the vfs namespace code which wants to use atomic64
operations before the initcall is run.
This became a problem as of commit 8823c079ba71: "vfs: Add setns support
for the mount namespace".
This leads to BUG messages such as:
BUG: spinlock bad magic on CPU#0, swapper/0/0
lock: atomic64_lock+0x240/0x400, .magic: 00000000, .owner: <none>/-1, .owner_cpu: 0

coming out early on during boot when spinlock debugging is enabled.
Fix this by initializing the spinlocks statically at compile time.

Pull IOMMU updates from Joerg Roedel:
"A few new features this merge-window. The most important one is
probably, that dma-debug now warns if a dma-handle is not checked with
dma_mapping_error by the device driver. This requires minor changes
to some architectures which make use of dma-debug. Most of these
changes have the respective Acks by the Arch-Maintainers.
Besides that there are updates to the AMD IOMMU driver for refactor
the IOMMU-Groups support and to make sure it does not trigger a
hardware erratum.
The OMAP changes (for which I pulled in a branch from Tony Lindgren's
tree) have a conflict in linux-next with the arm-soc tree. The
conflict is in the file arch/arm/mach-omap2/clock44xx_data.c which is
deleted in the arm-soc tree. It is safe to delete the file too so
solve the conflict. Similar changes are done in the arm-soc tree in
the common clock framework migration. A missing hunk from the patch
in the IOMMU tree will be submitted as a seperate patch when the
merge-window is closed."

There is absolutely no reason to crash the kernel when we have a
perfectly good return value already available to use for conveying
failure status.
Let's return an error code instead of crashing the kernel: that sounds
like a much better plan.

Add functions to get the requested number of pseudo-random bytes.
The difference from get_random_bytes() is that it generates pseudo-random
numbers by prandom_u32(). It doesn't consume the entropy pool, and the
sequence is reproducible if the same rnd_state is used. So it is suitable
for generating random bytes for testing.

This renames all random32 functions to have 'prandom_' prefix as follows:
void prandom_seed(u32 seed); /* rename from srandom32() */
u32 prandom_u32(void); /* rename from random32() */
void prandom_seed_state(struct rnd_state *state, u64 seed);
/* rename from prandom32_seed() */
u32 prandom_u32_state(struct rnd_state *state);
/* rename from prandom32() */
The purpose of this renaming is to prevent some kernel developers from
assuming that prandom32() and random32() might imply that only
prandom32() was the one using a pseudo-random number generator by
prandom32's "p", and the result may be a very embarassing security
exposure. This concern was expressed by Theodore Ts'o.
And furthermore, I'm going to introduce new functions for getting the
requested number of pseudo-random bytes. If I continue to use both
prandom32 and random32 prefixes for these functions, the confusion
is getting worse.
As a result of this renaming, "prandom_" is the common prefix for
pseudo-random number library.
Currently, srandom32() and random32() are preserved because it is
difficult to rename too many users at once.

Add lockdep annotations. Not only this can help to find the potential
problems, we do not want the false warnings if, say, the task takes two
different percpu_rw_semaphore's for reading. IOW, at least ->rw_sem
should not use a single class.
This patch exposes this internal lock to lockdep so that it represents the
whole percpu_rw_semaphore. This way we do not need to add another "fake"
->lockdep_map and lock_class_key. More importantly, this also makes the
output from lockdep much more understandable if it finds the problem.
In short, with this patch from lockdep pov percpu_down_read() and
percpu_up_read() acquire/release ->rw_sem for reading, this matches the
actual semantics. This abuses __up_read() but I hope this is fine and in
fact I'd like to have down_read_no_lockdep() as well,
percpu_down_read_recursive_readers() will need it.

percpu_rw_semaphore->writer_mutex was only added to simplify the initial
rewrite, the only thing it protects is clear_fast_ctr() which otherwise
could be called by multiple writers. ->rw_sem is enough to serialize the
writers.
Kill this mutex and add "atomic_t write_ctr" instead. The writers
increment/decrement this counter, the readers check it is zero instead of
mutex_is_locked().
Move atomic_add(clear_fast_ctr(), slow_read_ctr) under down_write() to
avoid the race with other writers. This is a bit sub-optimal, only the
first writer needs this and we do not need to exclude the readers at this
stage. But this is simple, we do not want another internal lock until we
add more features.
And this speeds up the write-contended case. Before this patch the racing
writers sleep in synchronize_sched_expedited() sequentially, with this
patch multiple synchronize_sched_expedited's can "overlap" with each
other. Note: we can do more optimizations, this is only the first step.

Currently the writer does msleep() plus synchronize_sched() 3 times to
acquire/release the semaphore, and during this time the readers are
blocked completely. Even if the "write" section was not actually started
or if it was already finished.
With this patch down_write/up_write does synchronize_sched() twice and
down_read/up_read are still possible during this time, just they use the
slow path.
percpu_down_write() first forces the readers to use rw_semaphore and
increment the "slow" counter to take the lock for reading, then it
takes that rw_semaphore for writing and blocks the readers.
Also. With this patch the code relies on the documented behaviour of
synchronize_sched(), it doesn't try to pair synchronize_sched() with
barrier.
