Traditionally, any System-on-Chip based platform creates a flat list
of platform_devices directly under /sys/devices/platform.
In order to give these some better structure, this introduces a new
bus type for soc_devices that are registered with the new
soc_device_register() function. All devices that are on the same
chip should then be registered as child devices of the soc device.
The soc bus also exports a few standardised device attributes which
allow user space to query the specific type of soc.

This patch introduces the module_pci_driver macro which is a convenience
macro for PCI driver modules similar to module_platform_driver. It is
intended to be used by drivers which init/exit section does nothing but
register/unregister the PCI driver. By using this macro it is possible
to eliminate a few lines of boilerplate code per PCI driver.
Based on work done by Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de> for other
busses (i2c and spi).

Setting the task name is done within setup_new_exec() by accessing
bprm->filename. However this happens after flush_old_exec().
This may result in a use after free bug, flush_old_exec() may
"complete" vfork_done, which will wake up the parent which in turn
may free the passed in filename.
To fix this add a new tcomm field in struct linux_binprm which
contains the now early generated task name until it is used.

Power management fixes for 3.3-rc3
Three power management regression fixes, one for a recent regression introcuded
by the freezer changes during the 3.3 merge window and two for regressions
in cpuidle (resulting from PM QoS changes) and in the hibernate user space
interface, both introduced during the 3.2 development cycle.
They include:
* Two hibernate (s2disk) regression fixes from Srivatsa S. Bhat (for
regressions introduced during the 3.3 merge window and during the 3.2
development cycle).
* A cpuidle fix from Venki Pallipadi for a regression resulting from PM QoS
changes during the 3.2 development cycle causing cpuidle to work incorrectly
for CONFIG_PM unset.
* tag 'pm-fixes-for-3.3-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm:
PM / QoS: CPU C-state breakage with PM Qos change
PM / Freezer: Thaw only kernel threads if freezing of kernel threads fails
PM / Hibernate: Thaw kernel threads in SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE ioctl path
Looks like change "PM QoS: Move and rename the implementation files"
merged during the 3.2 development cycle made PM QoS depend on
CONFIG_PM which depends on (PM_SLEEP || PM_RUNTIME).
That breaks CPU C-states with kernels not having these CONFIGs, causing CPUs
to spend time in Polling loop idle instead of going into deep C-states,
consuming way way more power. This is with either acpi idle or intel idle
enabled.
Either CONFIG_PM should be enabled with any pm_qos users or
the !CONFIG_PM pm_qos_request() should return sane defaults not to break
the existing users. Here's is the patch for the latter option.

This patch fixes merge conflict resolution breakage introduced by merge
d3712b9dfc ("Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://github.com/prasad-joshi/logfs_upstream").
The commit changed 'mtd_can_have_bb()' function and made it always
return zero, which is incorrect. Instead, we need it to return whether
the underlying flash device can have bad eraseblocks or not. UBI needs
this information because it affects how it handles the underlying flash.
E.g., if the underlying flash is NOR, it cannot have bad blocks and any
write or erase error is fatal, and all we can do is to switch to R/O
mode. We do not need to reserve a pool of good eraseblocks for bad
eraseblocks handling, and so on.
This patch also removes 'mtd_can_have_bb()' invocations from Logfs to
ensure correct Logfs behavior.
I've tested that with this patch UBI works on top of NOR and NAND
flashes emulated by mtdram and nandsim correspondingly.
This patch is based on patch from Linus Torvalds.

There are few important bug fixes for LogFS
* tag 'for-linus' of git://github.com/prasad-joshi/logfs_upstream:

Fix up conflict in fs/logfs/dev_mtd.c due to semantic change in what
"mtd->block_isbad" means in commit f2933e86ad: "Logfs: Allow NULL
block_isbad() methods" clashing with the abstraction changes in the
commits 7086c19d07: "mtd: introduce mtd_block_isbad interface" and
d58b27ed58: "logfs: do not use 'mtd->block_isbad' directly".
This resolution takes the semantics from commit f2933e86ad, and just
makes mtd_block_isbad() return zero (false) if the 'block_isbad'
function is NULL. But that also means that now "mtd_can_have_bb()"
always returns 0.
Now, "mtd_block_markbad()" will obviously return an error if the
low-level driver doesn't support bad blocks, so this is somewhat
non-symmetric, but it actually makes sense if a NULL "block_isbad"
function is considered to mean "I assume that all my blocks are always
good".

Commits 3fe4bae884 and
079c985e7a broke MTD suspend in 2 ways:
1. When the '->suspend' method is not present, we return -EOPNOTSUPP, but
the callers of 'mtd_suspend()' expects 0 instead.
2. Checking of the 'mtd' parameter against NULL has been incorrectly removed
in 'mtd_cls_suspend()'.
This patch fixes the breakages. This has been found, analyzed, reported
and tested by Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>.
Note, this patch is not needed in the stable tree because it causes a

Commit 2aede851dd
PM / Hibernate: Freeze kernel threads after preallocating memory
introduced a mechanism by which kernel threads were frozen after
the preallocation of hibernate image memory to avoid problems with
frozen kernel threads not responding to memory freeing requests.
However, it overlooked the s2disk code path in which the
SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE ioctl was run directly after SNAPSHOT_FREE,
which caused freeze_workqueues_begin() to BUG(), because it saw
that worqueues had been already frozen.
Although in principle this issue might be addressed by removing
the relevant BUG_ON() from freeze_workqueues_begin(), that would
reintroduce the very problem that commit 2aede851dd
attempted to avoid into that particular code path. For this reason,
to fix the issue at hand, introduce thaw_kernel_threads() and make
the SNAPSHOT_FREE ioctl execute it.
Special thanks to Srivatsa S. Bhat for detailed analysis of the
problem.

Fix up conflict due to arch/arm/mach-mx5/Kconfig having been merged into
mach-imx5 (commit 784a90c0a7: "ARM i.MX: Merge i.MX5 support into
mach-imx"), but the ARM_L1_CACHE_SHIFT_6 entry was moved to be driven by
the CPU_V7 logic from it in the old location in rmk's branch (commit
a092f2b153: "ARM: 7291/1: cache: assume 64-byte L1 cachelines for
ARMv7 CPUs").
This patch fixes the sampling interrupt throttling mechanism.
It was broken in v3.2. Events were not being unthrottled. The
unthrottling mechanism required that events be checked at each
timer tick.
This patch solves this problem and also separates:
- unthrottling
- multiplexing
- frequency-mode period adjustments
Not all of them need to be executed at each timer tick.
This third version of the patch is based on my original patch +
PeterZ proposal (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/7/87).
At each timer tick, for each context:
- if the current CPU has throttled events, we unthrottle events
- if context has frequency-based events, we adjust sampling periods
- if we have reached the jiffies interval, we multiplex (rotate)
We decoupled rotation (multiplexing) from frequency-mode sampling
period adjustments. They should not necessarily happen at the same
rate. Multiplexing is subject to jiffies_interval (currently at 1
but could be higher once the tunable is exposed via sysfs).
We have grouped frequency-mode adjustment and unthrottling into the
same routine to minimize code duplication. When throttled while in
frequency mode, we scan the events only once.
We have fixed the threshold enforcement code in __perf_event_overflow().
There was a bug whereby it would allow more than the authorized rate
because an increment of hwc->interrupts was not executed at the right
place.
The patch was tested with low sampling limit (2000) and fixed periods,
frequency mode, overcommitted PMU.
On a 2.1GHz AMD CPU:
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
2000
We set a rate of 3000 samples/sec (2.1GHz/3000 = 700000):
$ perf record -e cycles,cycles -c 700000 noploop 10
$ perf report -D | tail -21

There's a growing number of drivers that support a specific x86 feature
or CPU. Currently loading these drivers currently on a generic
distribution requires various driver specific hacks and it often
doesn't work.
This patch adds auto probing for drivers based on the x86 cpuid
information, in particular based on vendor/family/model number
and also based on CPUID feature bits.
For example a common issue is not loading the SSE 4.2 accelerated
CRC module: this can significantly lower the performance of BTRFS
which relies on fast CRC.
Another issue is loading the right CPUFREQ driver for the current CPU.
Currently distributions often try all all possible driver until
one sticks, which is not really a good way to do this.
It works with existing udev without any changes. The code
exports the x86 information as a generic string in sysfs
that can be matched by udev's pattern matching.
This scheme does not support numeric ranges, so if you want to
handle e.g. ranges of model numbers they have to be encoded
in ASCII or simply all models or families listed. Fixing
that would require changing udev.
Another issue is that udev will happily load all drivers that match,
there is currently no nice way to stop a specific driver from
being loaded if it's not needed (e.g. if you don't need fast CRC)
But there are not that many cpu specific drivers around and they're
all not that bloated, so this isn't a particularly serious issue.
Originally this patch added the modalias to the normal cpu
sysdevs. However sysdevs don't have all the infrastructure
needed for udev, so it couldn't really autoload drivers.
This patch instead adds the CPU modaliases to the cpuid devices,
which are real devices with full support for udev. This implies
that the cpuid driver has to be loaded to use this.
This patch just adds infrastructure, some driver conversions
in followups.
Thanks to Kay for helping with some sysfs magic.
v2: Constifcation, some updates
v4: (trenn@suse.de):

Quoth Len:
"This fixes a merge-window regression due to a conflict
between error injection and preparation to remove atomicio.c
Here we fix that regression and complete the removal
of atomicio.c.
This also re-orders some idle initialization code to
complete the merge window series that allows cpuidle
to cope with bringing processors on-line after boot."
* 'release' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux:
Use acpi_os_map_memory() instead of ioremap() in einj driver
ACPI, APEI, EINJ, cleanup 0 vs NULL confusion
ACPI, APEI, EINJ Allow empty Trigger Error Action Table
thermal: Rename generate_netlink_event
ACPI / PM: Add Sony Vaio VPCCW29FX to nonvs blacklist.
ACPI: Remove ./drivers/acpi/atomicio.[ch]
ACPI, APEI: Add RAM mapping support to ACPI
ACPI, APEI: Add 64-bit read/write support for APEI on i386
ACPI processor hotplug: Delay acpi_processor_start() call for hotplugged cores
ACPI processor hotplug: Split up acpi_processor_add
Now that there are no users of get_driver() or put_driver(), this
patch (as1513) removes those routines completely.

This patch changes event message behaviour to send only updated records
instead of whole list. This fixes bug on which userspace receives non-actual
data in case multiple events occur in row.

lineno:24 allows files with 4 million lines, an insane file-size, even
for never-to-get-in-tree machine generated code. Reduce this to 18
bits, which still allows 256k lines. This is still insanely big, but
its not raving mad.

Change describe_flags() to emit '=[pmflt_]+' for current callsite
flags, or just '=_' when they're disabled. Having '=' in output
allows a more selective grep expression; in contrast '-' may appear
in filenames, line-ranges, and format-strings. '=' also has better
mnemonics, saying; "the current setting is equal to <flags>".
This allows grep "=_" <dbgfs>/dynamic_debug/control to see disabled
callsites while avoiding the many occurrences of " = " seen in format
strings.
Enlarge flagsbufs to handle additional flag char, and alter
ddebug_parse_flags() to allow flags=0, so that user can turn off all
debug flags via:
~# echo =_ > <dbgfs>/dynamic_debug/control

If CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is defined, honor it over DEBUG, so that
pr_debug()s are controllable, instead of always-on. When DEBUG is
also defined, change _DPRINTK_FLAGS_DEFAULT to enable printing by
default.
Also adding _DPRINTK_FLAGS_INCL_MODNAME would be nice, but there are
numerous cases of pr_debug(NAME ": ...), which would result in double
printing of module-name. So defer this until things settle.

Currently any enabled dynamic-debug flag on a pr_debug callsite will
enable printing, even if _DPRINTK_FLAGS_PRINT is off. Checking print
flag directly allows "-p" to disable callsites without fussing with
other flags, so the following disables everything, without altering
flags user may have set:
echo -p > $DBGFS/dynamic_debug/control
