This patch cloned most of the m25p80.c. In theory, it adds a new spi-nor layer.
Before this patch, the layer is like:
MTD
------------------------
m25p80
------------------------
spi bus driver
------------------------
SPI NOR chip
After this patch, the layer is like:
MTD
------------------------
spi-nor
------------------------
m25p80
------------------------
spi bus driver
------------------------
SPI NOR chip
With the spi-nor controller driver(Freescale Quadspi), it looks like:
MTD
------------------------
spi-nor
------------------------
fsl-quadspi
------------------------
SPI NOR chip
New APIs:
spi_nor_scan: used to scan a spi-nor flash.

The spi_nor{} is cloned from the m25p{}.
The spi_nor{} can be used by both the m25p80 and spi-nor controller.
We also add the spi_nor_xfer_cfg{} which can be used by the two
fundamental primitives: read_xfer/write_xfer.
1) the hooks for spi_nor{}:
@prepare/unpreare: used to do some work before or after the
read/write/erase/lock/unlock.
@read_xfer/write_xfer: We can use these two hooks to code all
the following hooks if the driver tries to implement them
by itself.
@read_reg: used to read the registers, such as read status register,
read configure register.
@write_reg: used to write the registers, such as write enable,
erase sector.
@read_id: read out the ID info.
@wait_till_ready: wait till the NOR becomes ready.
@read: read out the data from the NOR.
@write: write data to the NOR.
@erase: erase a sector of the NOR.
2) Add a new field sst_write_second for the SST NOR write.

commit a9c3f68f3cd8d55f809fbdb0c138ed061ea1bd25 upstream.
The user-settable knob, low_latency, has been the source of
several BUG reports which stem from flush_to_ldisc() running
in interrupt context. Since 3.12, which added several sleeping
locks (termios_rwsem and buf->lock) to the input processing path,
the frequency of these BUG reports has increased.
Note that changes in 3.12 did not introduce this regression;
sleeping locks were first added to the input processing path
with the removal of the BKL from N_TTY in commit
a88a69c91256418c5907c2f1f8a0ec0a36f9e6cc,
'n_tty: Fix loss of echoed characters and remove bkl from n_tty'
and later in commit 38db89799bdf11625a831c5af33938dcb11908b6,
'tty: throttling race fix'. Since those changes, executing
flush_to_ldisc() in interrupt_context (ie, low_latency set), is unsafe.
However, since most devices do not validate if the low_latency
setting is appropriate for the context (process or interrupt) in
which they receive data, some reports are due to misconfiguration.
Further, serial dma devices for which dma fails, resort to
interrupt receiving as a backup without resetting low_latency.
Historically, low_latency was used to force wake-up the reading
process rather than wait for the next scheduler tick. The
effect was to trim multiple milliseconds of latency from
when the process would receive new data.
Recent tests [1] have shown that the reading process now receives
data with only 10's of microseconds latency without low_latency set.
Remove the low_latency rx steering from tty_flip_buffer_push();
however, leave the knob as an optional hint to drivers that can
tune their rx fifos and such like. Cleanup stale code comments
regarding low_latency.

commit 5acda9d12dcf1ad0d9a5a2a7c646de3472fa7555 upstream.
After commit 839a8e8660b6 ("writeback: replace custom worker pool
implementation with unbound workqueue") when device is removed while we
are writing to it we crash in bdi_writeback_workfn() ->
set_worker_desc() because bdi->dev is NULL.
This can happen because even though bdi_unregister() cancels all pending
flushing work, nothing really prevents new ones from being queued from
balance_dirty_pages() or other places.
Fix the problem by clearing BDI_registered bit in bdi_unregister() and
checking it before scheduling of any flushing work.

commit 29fc2bc75393864bbc9b90a7a13a0d0e11c6f41e upstream.
pr_debug_ratelimited should be coded similarly to dev_dbg_ratelimited
to reduce the "callbacks suppressed" messages.
Add #include <linux/dynamic_debug.h> to printk.h. Unfortunately, this
new #include must be after the prototype/declaration of function printk.
It may be better to split out these _ratelimited declarations into
a separate file one day.
Any use of these pr_<foo>_ratelimited functions must also have another
specific #include <ratelimited.h>. Most users have this done indirectly
via #include <linux/kernel.h>
printk.h may not #include <linux/ratelimit.h> as it causes circular
dependencies and compilation failures.

This fixes a race which happens by freeing an object on the stack.
Quoting Julius:

The fix is to just not allocate the data structure on the stack.
As dev->wait is abused as a flag it also takes a runtime PM change
to fix this bug.

Currently, we don't rename the upper/lower_ifc symlinks in
/sys/class/net/*/ , which might result stale/duplicate links/names.
Fix this by adding netdev_adjacent_rename_links(dev, oldname) which renames
all the upper/lower interface's links to dev from the upper/lower_oldname
to the new name.
We don't need a rollback because only we control these symlinks and if we
fail to rename them - sysfs will anyway complain.

wait_queue is a swiss army knife and in most of the cases the
complexity is not needed. For RT waitqueues are a constant source of
trouble as we can't convert the head lock to a raw spinlock due to
fancy and long lasting callbacks.
Provide a slim version, which allows RT to replace wait queues. This
should go mainline as well, as it lowers memory consumption and
runtime overhead.

It has become an obsession to mitigate the determinism vs. throughput
loss of RT. Looking at the mainline semantics of preemption points
gives a hint why RT sucks throughput wise for ordinary SCHED_OTHER
tasks. One major issue is the wakeup of tasks which are right away
preempting the waking task while the waking task holds a lock on which
the woken task will block right after having preempted the wakee. In
mainline this is prevented due to the implicit preemption disable of
spin/rw_lock held regions. On RT this is not possible due to the fully
preemptible nature of sleeping spinlocks.
Though for a SCHED_OTHER task preempting another SCHED_OTHER task this
is really not a correctness issue. RT folks are concerned about
SCHED_FIFO/RR tasks preemption and not about the purely fairness
driven SCHED_OTHER preemption latencies.
So I introduced a lazy preemption mechanism which only applies to
SCHED_OTHER tasks preempting another SCHED_OTHER task. Aside of the
existing preempt_count each tasks sports now a preempt_lazy_count
which is manipulated on lock acquiry and release. This is slightly
incorrect as for lazyness reasons I coupled this on
migrate_disable/enable so some other mechanisms get the same treatment
(e.g. get_cpu_light).
Now on the scheduler side instead of setting NEED_RESCHED this sets
NEED_RESCHED_LAZY in case of a SCHED_OTHER/SCHED_OTHER preemption and
therefor allows to exit the waking task the lock held region before
the woken task preempts. That also works better for cross CPU wakeups
as the other side can stay in the adaptive spinning loop.
For RT class preemption there is no change. This simply sets
NEED_RESCHED and forgoes the lazy preemption counter.
Initial test do not expose any observable latency increasement, but
history shows that I've been proven wrong before :)
The lazy preemption mode is per default on, but with
CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG enabled it can be disabled via:
# echo NO_PREEMPT_LAZY >/sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
and reenabled via
# echo PREEMPT_LAZY >/sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
The test results so far are very machine and workload dependent, but
there is a clear trend that it enhances the non RT workload
performance.

The 3.x RT series removed the split softirq implementation in favour
of pushing softirq processing into the context of the thread which
raised it. Though this prevents us from handling the various softirqs
at different priorities. Now instead of reintroducing the split
softirq threads we split the locks which serialize the softirq
processing.
If a softirq is raised in context of a thread, then the softirq is
noted on a per thread field, if the thread is in a bh disabled
region. If the softirq is raised from hard interrupt context, then the
bit is set in the flag field of ksoftirqd and ksoftirqd is invoked.
When a thread leaves a bh disabled region, then it tries to execute
the softirqs which have been raised in its own context. It acquires
the per softirq / per cpu lock for the softirq and then checks,
whether the softirq is still pending in the per cpu
local_softirq_pending() field. If yes, it runs the softirq. If no,
then some other task executed it already. This allows for zero config
softirq elevation in the context of user space tasks or interrupt
threads.

raise_softirq_irqoff() disables interrupts and wakes the softirq
daemon, but after reenabling interrupts there is no preemption check,
so the execution of the softirq thread might be delayed arbitrarily.
In principle we could add that check to local_irq_enable/restore, but
that's overkill as the rasie_softirq_irqoff() sections are the only
ones which show this behaviour.

Bringing a CPU down is a pain with the PREEMPT_RT kernel because
tasks can be preempted in many more places than in non-RT. In
order to handle per_cpu variables, tasks may be pinned to a CPU
for a while, and even sleep. But these tasks need to be off the CPU
if that CPU is going down.
Several synchronization methods have been tried, but when stressed
they failed. This is a new approach.
A sync_tsk thread is still created and tasks may still block on a
lock when the CPU is going down, but how that works is a bit different.
When cpu_down() starts, it will create the sync_tsk and wait on it
to inform that current tasks that are pinned on the CPU are no longer
pinned. But new tasks that are about to be pinned will still be allowed
to do so at this time.
Then the notifiers are called. Several notifiers will bring down tasks
that will enter these locations. Some of these tasks will take locks
of other tasks that are on the CPU. If we don't let those other tasks
continue, but make them block until CPU down is done, the tasks that
the notifiers are waiting on will never complete as they are waiting
for the locks held by the tasks that are blocked.
Thus we still let the task pin the CPU until the notifiers are done.
After the notifiers run, we then make new tasks entering the pinned
CPU sections grab a mutex and wait. This mutex is now a per CPU mutex
in the hotplug_pcp descriptor.
To help things along, a new function in the scheduler code is created
called migrate_me(). This function will try to migrate the current task
off the CPU this is going down if possible. When the sync_tsk is created,
all tasks will then try to migrate off the CPU going down. There are
several cases that this wont work, but it helps in most cases.
After the notifiers are called and if a task can't migrate off but enters
the pin CPU sections, it will be forced to wait on the hotplug_pcp mutex
until the CPU down is complete. Then the scheduler will force the migration
anyway.
Also, I found that THREAD_BOUND need to also be accounted for in the
pinned CPU, and the migrate_disable no longer treats them special.
This helps fix issues with ksoftirqd and workqueue that unbind on CPU down.

since c2f21ce ("locking: Implement new raw_spinlock")
include/linux/spinlock.h includes spin_unlock_wait() to wait for a concurren
holder of a lock. this patch just moves over to that API. spin_unlock_wait
covers both raw_spinlock_t and spinlock_t so it should be safe here as well.
the added rt-variant of read_seqbegin in include/linux/seqlock.h that is being
modified, was introduced by patch:
seqlock-prevent-rt-starvation.patch
behavior should be unchanged.

If a low prio writer gets preempted while holding the seqlock write
locked, a high prio reader spins forever on RT.
To prevent this let the reader grab the spinlock, so it blocks and
eventually boosts the writer. This way the writer can proceed and
endless spinning is prevented.
For seqcount writers we disable preemption over the update code
path. Thaanks to Al Viro for distangling some VFS code to make that
possible.

In fact, with migrate_disable() existing one could play games with
kmap_atomic. You could save/restore the kmap_atomic slots on context
switch (if there are any in use of course), this should be esp easy now
that we have a kmap_atomic stack.
Something like the below.. it wants replacing all the preempt_disable()
stuff with pagefault_disable() && migrate_disable() of course, but then
you can flip kmaps around like below.

To work around this in the short term you can use this patch, in
addition to the clocksource watchdog patch that Thomas brewed up.
Comments are welcome of course. Ultimately the right solution is to
change separation between the console and the HW to have a polled mode
+ work queue so as not to introduce any kind of latency.
Thanks,

irq_work is processed in softirq context on -RT because we want to avoid
long latencies which might arise from processing lots of perf events.
The noHZ-full mode requires its callback to be called from real hardirq
context (commit 76c24fb ("nohz: New APIs to re-evaluate the tick on full
dynticks CPUs")). If it is called from a thread context we might get
wrong results for checks like "is_idle_task(current)".
This patch introduces a second list (hirq_work_list) which will be used
if irq_work_run() has been invoked from hardirq context and process only
work items marked with IRQ_WORK_HARD_IRQ.
This patch also removes arch_irq_work_raise() from sparc & powerpc like
it is already done for x86. Atleast for powerpc it is somehow
superfluous because it is called from the timer interrupt which should
invoke update_process_times().

Ulrich Obergfell pointed out that cpu_chill() calls msleep() which is woken
up by the ksoftirqd running the TIMER softirq. But as the cpu_chill() is
called from softirq context, it may block the ksoftirqd() from running, in
which case, it may never wake up the msleep() causing the deadlock.
I checked the vmcore, and irq/74-qla2xxx is stuck in the msleep() call,
running on CPU 8. The one ksoftirqd that is stuck, happens to be the one that
runs on CPU 8, and it is blocked on a lock held by irq/74-qla2xxx. As that
ksoftirqd is the one that will wake up irq/74-qla2xxx, and it happens to be
blocked on a lock that irq/74-qla2xxx holds, we have our deadlock.
The solution is not to convert the cpu_chill() back to a cpu_relax() as that
will re-create a possible live lock that the cpu_chill() fixed earlier, and may
also leave this bug open on other softirqs. The fix is to remove the
dependency on ksoftirqd from cpu_chill(). That is, instead of calling
msleep() that requires ksoftirqd to wake it up, use the
hrtimer_nanosleep() code that does the wakeup from hard irq context.

Retry loops on RT might loop forever when the modifying side was
preempted. Add cpu_chill() to replace cpu_relax(). cpu_chill()
defaults to cpu_relax() for non RT. On RT it puts the looping task to
sleep for a tick so the preempted task can make progress.

Implementing RCU-bh in terms of RCU-preempt makes the system vulnerable
to network-based denial-of-service attacks. This patch therefore
makes __do_softirq() invoke rcu_bh_qs(), but only when __do_softirq()
is running in ksoftirqd context. A wrapper layer in interposed so that
other calls to __do_softirq() avoid invoking rcu_bh_qs(). The underlying
function __do_softirq_common() does the actual work.
The reason that rcu_bh_qs() is bad in these non-ksoftirqd contexts is
that there might be a local_bh_enable() inside an RCU-preempt read-side
critical section. This local_bh_enable() can invoke __do_softirq()
directly, so if __do_softirq() were to invoke rcu_bh_qs() (which just
calls rcu_preempt_qs() in the PREEMPT_RT_FULL case), there would be
an illegal RCU-preempt quiescent state in the middle of an RCU-preempt
read-side critical section. Therefore, quiescent states can only happen
in cases where __do_softirq() is invoked directly from ksoftirqd.

The Linux kernel has long RCU-bh read-side critical sections that
intolerably increase scheduling latency under mainline's RCU-bh rules,
which include RCU-bh read-side critical sections being non-preemptible.
This patch therefore arranges for RCU-bh to be implemented in terms of
RCU-preempt for CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL=y.
This has the downside of defeating the purpose of RCU-bh, namely,
handling the case where the system is subjected to a network-based
denial-of-service attack that keeps at least one CPU doing full-time
softirq processing. This issue will be fixed by a later commit.
The current commit will need some work to make it appropriate for
mainline use, for example, it needs to be extended to cover Tiny RCU.

lock_timer_base() does a try_lock() which deadlocks on the waiter lock
not the lock itself.
This patch takes the waiter_lock with trylock so it should work from interrupt
context as well. If the fastpath doesn't work and the waiter_lock itself is
taken then it seems that the lock itself taken.
This patch also adds "rt_spin_unlock_after_trylock_in_irq" to keep lockdep
happy. If we managed to take the wait_lock in the first place we should also
be able to take it in the unlock path.

well, that very same problem is in mainline if you add "threadirqs" to
the command line. But we can be smart about this. The untested patch
below should address that issue. If that works on mainline we can
adapt it for RT (needs a trylock(&base->lock) there).
Though it's not a full solution. It needs some thought versus the
softirq code of timers. Assume we have only one timer queued 1000
ticks into the future. So this change will cause the timer softirq not
to be called until that timer expires and then the timer softirq is
going to do 1000 loops until it catches up with jiffies. That's
anything but pretty ...
What worries me more is this one:
pert-5229 [003] d..h1.. 684.482618: softirq_raise: vec=9 [action=RCU]
The CPU has no callbacks as you shoved them over to cpu 0, so why is
the RCU softirq raised?
Thanks,
tglx

This fixes the following build error for the preempt-rt kernel.
make kernel/fork.o
CC kernel/fork.o
kernel/fork.c:90: error: section of tasklist_lock conflicts with previous declaration
make[2]: *** [kernel/fork.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [kernel/fork.o] Error 2
The rt kernel cache aligns the RWLOCK in DEFINE_RWLOCK by default.
The non-rt kernels explicitly cache align only the tasklist_lock in
kernel/fork.c
That can create a build conflict. This fixes the build problem by making the
non-rt kernels cache align RWLOCKs by default. The side effect is that
the other RWLOCKs are also cache aligned for non-rt.
This is a short term solution for rt only.
The longer term solution would be to push the cache aligned DEFINE_RWLOCK
to mainline. If there are objections, then we could create a
DEFINE_RWLOCK_CACHE_ALIGNED or something of that nature.
