Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
"Included in this series are:
1. BE8 (modern big endian) changes for ARM from Ben Dooks
2. big.Little support from Nicolas Pitre and Dave Martin
3. support for LPAE systems with all system memory above 4GB
4. Perf updates from Will Deacon
5. Additional prefetching and other performance improvements from Will.
6. Neon-optimised AES implementation fro Ard.
7. A number of smaller fixes scattered around the place.
There is a rather horrid merge conflict in tools/perf - I was never
notified of the conflict because it originally occurred between Will's
tree and other stuff. Consequently I have a resolution which Will
forwarded me, which I'll forward on immediately after sending this
mail.
The other notable thing is I'm expecting some build breakage in the
crypto stuff on ARM only with Ard's AES patches. These were merged
into a stable git branch which others had already pulled, so there's
little I can do about this. The problem is caused because these
patches have a dependency on some code in the crypto git tree - I
tried requesting a branch I can pull to resolve these, and all I got
each time from the crypto people was "we'll revert our patches then"
which would only make things worse since I still don't have the
dependent patches. I've no idea what's going on there or how to
resolve that, and since I can't split these patches from the rest of
this pull request, I'm rather stuck with pushing this as-is or
reverting Ard's patches.
Since it should "come out in the wash" I've left them in - the only
build problems they seem to cause at the moment are with randconfigs,
and since it's a new feature anyway. However, if by -rc1 the
dependencies aren't in, I think it'd be best to revert Ard's patches"
I resolved the perf conflict roughly as per the patch sent by Russell,
but there may be some differences. Any errors are likely mine. Let's
see how the crypto issues work out..

Pull ARM SoC cleanups from Olof Johansson:
"This branch contains code cleanups, moves and removals for 3.13.
Qualcomm msm targets had a bunch of code removal for legacy non-DT
platforms. Nomadik saw more device tree conversions and cleanup of
old code. Tegra has some code refactoring, etc.
One longish patch series from Sebastian Hasselbarth changes the
init_time hooks and tries to use a generic implementation for most
platforms, since they were all doing more or less the same things.
Finally the "shark" platform is removed in this release. It's been
abandoned for a while and nobody seems to care enough to keep it
around. If someone comes along and wants to resurrect it, the removal
can easily be reverted and code brought back.
Beyond this, mostly a bunch of removals of stale content across the
board, etc"

CPU hotplug and kexec rely on smp_ops.cpu_kill(), which is supposed
to wait for the CPU to park or power down, and perform the last
rites (such as disabling clocks etc., where the platform doesn't do
this automatically).
kexec in particular is unsafe without performing this
synchronisation to park secondaries. Without it, the secondaries
might not be parked when kexec trashes the kernel.
There is no generic way to do this synchronisation, so a new mcpm
platform_ops method power_down_finish() is added by this patch.
The new method is mandatory. A platform which provides no way to
detect when CPUs are parked is likely broken.

Currently mcpm_cpu_power_down() and mcpm_cpu_suspend() trigger BUG()
if mcpm_platform_register() is not called beforehand. This may occur
for many reasons such as some incomplete device tree passed to the kernel
or the like.
Let's be nicer to users and avoid killing the kernel if that happens by
logging a warning and returning to the caller. The mcpm_cpu_suspend()
user is already set to deal with this situation, and so is cpu_die()
invoking mcpm_cpu_die().
The problematic case would have been the B.L switcher's usage of
mcpm_cpu_power_down(), however it has to call mcpm_cpu_power_up() first
which is already set to catch an error resulting from a missing
mcpm_platform_register() call.

HWMOD removal for MMC is breaking edma_start as the events are being manually
triggered due to unused channel list not being clear.
The above issue is fixed by reading the "dmas" property from the DT node if it
exists and clearing the bits in the unused channel list if the dma controller
used by any device is EDMA. For this purpose we use the of_* helpers to parse
the arguments in the dmas phandle list.
Also introduced is a minor clean up of a checkpatch error in old code.

When the switcher is active, there is no straightforward way to
figure out which logical CPU a given physical CPU maps to.
This patch provides a function
bL_switcher_get_logical_index(mpidr), which is analogous to
get_logical_index().
This function returns the logical CPU on which the specified
physical CPU is grouped (or -EINVAL if unknown).
If the switcher is inactive or not present, -EUNATCH is returned instead.

When tracing switching, an external tracer needs a way to bootstrap
its knowledge of the logical<->physical CPU mapping.
This patch adds a sysfs attribute trace_trigger. A write to this
attribute will generate a power:cpu_migrate_current event for each
online CPU, indicating the current physical CPU for each logical
CPU.
Activating or deactivating the switcher also generates these
events, so that the tracer knows about the resulting remapping of
affected CPUs.

This patch adds simple trace events to the b.L switcher code
to allow tracing of CPU migration events.
To make use of the trace events, you will need:
CONFIG_FTRACE=y
CONFIG_ENABLE_DEFAULT_TRACERS=y
The following events are added:
* power:cpu_migrate_begin
* power:cpu_migrate_finish
each with the following data:
u64 timestamp;
u32 cpu_hwid;
power:cpu_migrate_begin occurs immediately before the
switcher-specific migration operations start.
power:cpu_migrate_finish occurs immediately when migration is
completed.
The cpu_hwid field contains the ID fields of the MPIDR.
* For power:cpu_migrate_begin, cpu_hwid is the ID of the outbound
physical CPU (equivalent to (from_phys_cpu,from_phys_cluster)).
* For power:cpu_migrate_finish, cpu_hwid is the ID of the inbound
physical CPU (equivalent to (to_phys_cpu,to_phys_cluster)).
By design, the cpu_hwid field is masked in the same way as the
device tree cpu node reg property, allowing direct correlation to
the DT description of the hardware.
The timestamp is added in order to minimise timing noise. An
accurate system-wide clock should be used for generating this
(hopefully getnstimeofday is appropriate, but it could be changed).
It could be any monotonic shared clock, since the aim is to allow
accurate deltas to be computed. We don't necessarily care about
accurate synchronisation with wall clock time.
In practice, each switch takes place on a single logical CPU,
and the trace infrastructure should guarantee that events are
well-ordered with respect to a single logical CPU.

In some cases, a significant delay may be observed between the moment
a request for a CPU to come up is made and the moment it is ready to
start executing kernel code. This is especially true when a whole
cluster has to be powered up which may take in the order of miliseconds.
It is therefore a good idea to let the outbound CPU continue to execute
code in the mean time, and be notified when the inbound is ready before
performing the actual switch.
This is achieved by registering a completion block with the appropriate
IPI callback, and programming the sending of an IPI by the early assembly
code prior to entering the main kernel code. Once the IPI is delivered
to the outbound CPU, the completion block is "completed" and the switcher
thread is resumed.

There is no explicit way to know when a switch started via
bL_switch_request() is complete. This can lead to unpredictable
behaviour when the switcher is controlled by a subsystem which
makes dynamic decisions (such as cpufreq).
The CPU PM notifier is not really suitable for signalling
completion, because the CPU could get suspended and resumed for
other, independent reasons while a switch request is in flight.
Adding a whole new notifier for this seems excessive, and may tempt
people to put heavyweight code on this path.
This patch implements a new bL_switch_request_cb() function that
allows for a per-request lightweight callback, private between the
switcher and the caller of bL_switch_request_cb().
Overlapping switches on a single CPU are considered incorrect if
they are requested via bL_switch_request_cb() with a callback (they
will lead to an unpredictable final state without explicit external
synchronisation to force the requests into a particular order).
Queuing requests robustly would be overkill because only one
subsystem should be attempting to control the switcher at any time.
Overlapping requests of this kind will be failed with -EBUSY to
indicate that the second request won't take effect and the
completer will never be called for it.
bL_switch_request() is retained as a wrapper round the new function,
with the old, fire-and-forget semantics. In this case the last request

Some subsystems will need to respond synchronously to runtime
enabling and disabling of the switcher.
This patch adds a dedicated notifier interface to support such
subsystems. Pre- and post- enable/disable notifications are sent
to registered callbacks, allowing safe transition of non-b.L-
transparent subsystems across these control transitions.
Notifier callbacks may veto switcher (de)activation on pre notifications
only. Post notifications won't revert the action.
If enabling or disabling of the switcher fails after the pre-change
notification has been sent, subsystems which have registered
notifiers can be left in an inappropriate state.
This patch sends a suitable post-change notification on failure,
indicating that the old state has been reestablished.
For example, a failed initialisation will result in the following
sequence:
BL_NOTIFY_PRE_ENABLE
/* switcher initialisation fails */
BL_NOTIFY_POST_DISABLE
It is the responsibility of notified subsystems to respond in an
appropriate way.

Some subsystems will need to know for sure whether the switcher is
enabled or disabled during certain critical regions.
This patch provides a simple mutex-based mechanism to discover
whether the switcher is enabled and temporarily lock out further
enable/disable:
* bL_switcher_get_enabled() returns true iff the switcher is
enabled and temporarily inhibits enable/disable.
* bL_switcher_put_enabled() permits enable/disable of the switcher
again after a previous call to bL_switcher_get_enabled().

The Shark machine sub-architecture (also known as DNARD, the
DIGITAL Network Appliance Reference Design) lacks a maintainer
able to apply and test patches to modernize the architecture.
It is suspected that the current kernel, while it compiles,
does not even boot on this machine. The listed maintainer has
expressed that he will not be able to spend any time on the
maintenance for the coming year.
So let's delete it from the kernel for now. It can always be
resurrected with git revert if maintenance is resumed.
As the VIA82c505 PCI adapter was only used by this
architecture, that gets deleted too.

When a cpu goes to a deep idle state where its local timer is shutdown, it
notifies the time frame work to use the broadcast timer instead.
Unfortunately, the broadcast device could wake up any CPU, including an idle one
which is not concerned by the wake up at all.
This implies, in the worst case, an idle CPU will wake up to send an IPI to
another idle cpu.
This patch fixes this for ARM platforms using timer-sp, by setting
CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DYNIRQ feature.

In a similar manner to our spinlock implementation, mcpm uses sev to
wake up cores waiting on a lock when the lock is unlocked. In order to
ensure that the final write unlocking the lock is visible, a dsb
instruction is executed immediately prior to the sev.
This patch changes these dsbs to use the -st option, since we only
require that the store unlocking the lock is made visible.

Trying to support both the switcher and CPU hotplug at the same time
is tricky due to ambiguous semantics. So let's at least prevent users
from messing around with those logical CPUs the switcher has removed
and those which were not active when the switcher was activated.

Up to now, the logical CPU was somehow tied to the physical CPU number
within a cluster. This causes problems when forcing the boot CPU to be
different from the first enumerated CPU in the device tree creating a
discrepancy between logical and physical CPU numbers.
Let's make the pairing completely independent from physical CPU numbers.
Let's keep only those logical CPUs with same initial CPU cluster to create
a uniform scheduler profile without having to modify any of the probed
topology and compute capacity data. This has the potential to create
a non contiguous CPU numbering space when the switcher is active with
potential impact on buggy user space tools. It is however better to fix
those tools rather than making the switcher code more intrusive.

Currently, GIC IDs are hardcoded making the code dependent on the 4+4 b.L
configuration. Let's allow for GIC IDs to be discovered upon switcher
initialization to support other b.L configurations such as the 1+1 one,
or 2+3 as on the VExpress TC2.

In a regular kernel configuration, all the CPUs are initially available.
But the switcher execution model uses half of them at any time. Instead
of hacking the DTB to remove half of the CPUs, let's remove them at
run time and make sure we still have a working switcher configuration.
This way, the same DTB can be used whether or not the switcher is used.

The workqueues are problematic as they may be contended.
They can't be scheduled with top priority either. Also the optimization
in bL_switch_request() to skip the workqueue entirely when the target CPU
and the calling CPU were the same didn't allow for bL_switch_request() to
be called from atomic context, as might be the case for some cpufreq
drivers.
Let's move to dedicated kthreads instead.
