88PM8606 and 88PM8607 are two discrete chips used for power management.
Hardware designer can use them together or only one of them according to
requirement.
There's some logic tightly linked between these two chips. For example, USB
charger driver needs to access both chips by I2C interface.
Now share one driver to these two devices. Only one I2C client is identified
in platform init data. If another chip is also used, user should mark it in
companion_addr field of platform init data. Then driver could create another
I2C client for the companion chip.
All I2C operations are accessed by 860x-i2c driver. In order to support both
I2C client address, the read/write API is changed in below.
reg_read(client, offset)
reg_write(client, offset, data)
The benefit is that client drivers only need one kind of read/write API. I2C
and MFD driver can be shared in both 8606 and 8607.
Since API is changed, update API in 8607 regulator driver.

This gives us use of the diagnostic facilities genirq provides and
will allow implementation of interrupt support for the WM8350 GPIOs.
Stub functions are provided to ease the transition of the individual

Unlike the wm8350-custom code genirq nests enable and disable calls
so we can't just unconditionally mask or unmask the interrupt,
we need to remember the state we set and only mask or unmask when
there is a real change.

Pass mm->flags as a coredump parameter for consistency.

1788 up_write(&mm->mmap_sem);
1789 put_cred(cred);

1799 flag = O_EXCL; /* Stop rewrite attacks */
1800 cred->fsuid = 0; /* Dump root private */
1801 }
---
Since dumpable bits are not protected by lock, there is a chance to change
these bits between (1) and (2).
To solve this issue, this patch copies mm->flags to
coredump_params.mm_flags at the beginning of do_coredump() and uses it
instead of get_dumpable() while dumping core.
This copy is also passed to binfmt->core_dump, since elf*_core_dump() uses
dump_filter bits in mm->flags.

The current ELF dumper implementation can produce broken corefiles if
program headers exceed 65535. This number is determined by the number of
vmas which the process have. In particular, some extreme programs may use
more than 65535 vmas. (If you google max_map_count, you can find some
users facing this problem.) This kind of program never be able to generate
correct coredumps.
This patch implements ``extended numbering'' that uses sh_info field of
the first section header instead of e_phnum field in order to represent
upto 4294967295 vmas.
This is supported by
AMD64-ABI(http://www.x86-64.org/documentation.html) and
Solaris(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1984/).
Of course, we are preparing patches for gdb and binutils.

elf_core_dump() and elf_fdpic_core_dump() use #ifdef and the corresponding
macro for hiding _multiline_ logics in functions. This patch removes
#ifdef and replaces ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* by corresponding functions. For
architectures not implemeonting ELF_CORE_EXTRA_*, we use weak functions in
order to reduce a range of modification.
This cleanup is for my next patches, but I think this cleanup itself is
worth doing regardless of my firnal purpose.

This patch series provides the core changes needed to allow SDIO cards to
remain powered and active while the host system is suspended, and let them
wake up the host system when needed. This is used to implement
wake-on-lan with SDIO wireless cards at the moment. Patches to add that
support to the libertas driver will be posted separately.
This patch:
Some SDIO cards have the ability to keep on running autonomously when the
host system is suspended, and wake it up when needed. This however
requires that the host controller preserve power to the card, and
configure itself appropriately for wake-up.
There is however 4 layers of abstractions involved: the host controller
driver, the MMC core code, the SDIO card management code, and the actual
SDIO function driver. To make things simple and manageable, host drivers
must advertise their PM capabilities with a feature bitmask, then function
drivers can query and set those features from their suspend method. Then
each layer in the suspend call chain is expected to act upon those bits
accordingly.

The VM currently assumes that an inactive, mapped and referenced file page
is in use and promotes it to the active list.
However, every mapped file page starts out like this and thus a problem
arises when workloads create a stream of such pages that are used only for
a short time. By flooding the active list with those pages, the VM
quickly gets into trouble finding eligible reclaim canditates. The result
is long allocation latencies and eviction of the wrong pages.
This patch reuses the PG_referenced page flag (used for unmapped file
pages) to implement a usage detection that scales with the speed of LRU
list cycling (i.e. memory pressure).
If the scanner encounters those pages, the flag is set and the page cycled
again on the inactive list. Only if it returns with another page table
reference it is activated. Otherwise it is reclaimed as 'not recently
used cache'.
This effectively changes the minimum lifetime of a used-once mapped file
page from a full memory cycle to an inactive list cycle, which allows it
to occur in linear streams without affecting the stable working set of the
system.

There are quite a few GFP_KERNEL memory allocations made during
suspend/hibernation and resume that may cause the system to hang, because
the I/O operations they depend on cannot be completed due to the
underlying devices being suspended.
Avoid this problem by clearing the __GFP_IO and __GFP_FS bits in
gfp_allowed_mask before suspend/hibernation and restoring the original
values of these bits in gfp_allowed_mask durig the subsequent resume.

When a VMA is in an inconsistent state during setup or teardown, the worst
that can happen is that the rmap code will not be able to find the page.
The mapping is in the process of being torn down (PTEs just got
invalidated by munmap), or set up (no PTEs have been instantiated yet).
It is also impossible for the rmap code to follow a pointer to an already
freed VMA, because the rmap code holds the anon_vma->lock, which the VMA
teardown code needs to take before the VMA is removed from the anon_vma
chain.
Hence, we should not need the VM_LOCK_RMAP locking at all.

When the parent process breaks the COW on a page, both the original which
is mapped at child and the new page which is mapped parent end up in that
same anon_vma. Generally this won't be a problem, but for some workloads
it could preserve the O(N) rmap scanning complexity.
A simple fix is to ensure that, when a page which is mapped child gets
reused in do_wp_page, because we already are the exclusive owner, the page
gets moved to our own exclusive child's anon_vma.

The old anon_vma code can lead to scalability issues with heavily forking
workloads. Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent
process and all its child processes.
In a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous
pages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million
anonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one
of the 1000 processes. However, the current rmap code needs to walk them
all, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page.
This can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of
1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on
the anon_vma lock. This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark
like AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of
thousands. Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive
than AIM7, but they are catching up.
This patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us
to associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA. At fork time, each child
process gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be
instantiated. The parents' anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because
non-COWed pages could be present in any of the children.
This reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000
child processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system.
This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from
O(N) to 2.
The only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a
VMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations. This means vma_adjust
can fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures. This in
turn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions.
A second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple
anon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under
"the" anon_vma lock. To prevent the rmap code from walking up an
incomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag. This bit
flag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h
to make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic
values for the same bitflag.
Some test results:
Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test
box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running
>99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the
pageout code.
With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users.
This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in
system time. The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.

This fixes inefficient page-by-page reads on POSIX_FADV_RANDOM.
POSIX_FADV_RANDOM used to set ra_pages=0, which leads to poor performance:
a 16K read will be carried out in 4 _sync_ 1-page reads.
In other places, ra_pages==0 means
- it's ramfs/tmpfs/hugetlbfs/sysfs/configfs
- some IO error happened
where multi-page read IO won't help or should be avoided.
POSIX_FADV_RANDOM actually want a different semantics: to disable the
*heuristic* readahead algorithm, and to use a dumb one which faithfully
submit read IO for whatever application requests.
So introduce a flag FMODE_RANDOM for POSIX_FADV_RANDOM.
Note that the random hint is not likely to help random reads performance
noticeably. And it may be too permissive on huge request size (its IO
size is not limited by read_ahead_kb).
In Quentin's report (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/12/24/145), the overall
(NFS read) performance of the application increased by 313%!

A memmap is a directory in sysfs which includes 3 text files: start, end
and type. For example:
start: 0x100000
end: 0x7e7b1cff
type: System RAM
Interface firmware_map_add was not called explicitly. Remove it and add
function firmware_map_add_hotplug as hotplug interface of memmap.
Each memory entry has a memmap in sysfs, When we hot-add new memory, sysfs
does not export memmap entry for it. We add a call in function add_memory
to function firmware_map_add_hotplug.
Add a new function add_sysfs_fw_map_entry() to create memmap entry, it
will be called when initialize memmap and hot-add memory.

commit e815af95 ("change all_unreclaimable zone member to flags") changed
all_unreclaimable member to bit flag. But it had an undesireble side
effect. free_one_page() is one of most hot path in linux kernel and
increasing atomic ops in it can reduce kernel performance a bit.
Thus, this patch revert such commit partially. at least
all_unreclaimable shouldn't share memory word with other zone flags.

free_hot_page() is just a wrapper around free_hot_cold_page() with
parameter 'cold = 0'. After adding a clear comment for
free_hot_cold_page(), it is reasonable to remove a level of call.

A frequent questions from users about memory management is what numbers of
swap ents are user for processes. And this information will give some
hints to oom-killer.
Besides we can count the number of swapents per a process by scanning
/proc/<pid>/smaps, this is very slow and not good for usual process
information handler which works like 'ps' or 'top'. (ps or top is now
enough slow..)
This patch adds a counter of swapents to mm_counter and update is at each
swap events. Information is exported via /proc/<pid>/status file as
[kamezawa@bluextal memory]$ cat /proc/self/status

Considering the nature of per mm stats, it's the shared object among
threads and can be a cache-miss point in the page fault path.
This patch adds per-thread cache for mm_counter. RSS value will be
counted into a struct in task_struct and synchronized with mm's one at
events.
Now, in this patch, the event is the number of calls to handle_mm_fault.
Per-thread value is added to mm at each 64 calls.
rough estimation with small benchmark on parallel thread (2threads) shows
[before]
4.5 cache-miss/faults
[after]
4.0 cache-miss/faults
Anyway, the most contended object is mmap_sem if the number of threads grows.

- defined in mm.h as inlinf functions
- use array instead of macro's name creation.
This patch is for reducing patch size in future patch to modify

Rename for_each_bit to for_each_set_bit in the kernel source tree. To
permit for_each_clear_bit(), should that ever be added.
The patch includes a macro to map the old for_each_bit() onto the new
for_each_set_bit(). This is a (very) temporary thing to ease the migration.
