Salyzyn, Mark 9638d89a75 [SCSI] I2O: move pci_request_regions() just behind pci_enable_device()
The problem in dpt_i2o could be the pci config space accesses it
triggers as it loads, dangerous to do if there is any I/O activity going
on in the other driver (probable if a boot driver I guess).

I approve this patch to dpt_i2o.c, and am applying it to the Adaptec
branch of the driver.

Thanks for the investigation Ryoji.

---

In linux 2.6.15, data transfer does hang when both dpt_i2o
and i2o_block drivers are loaded.
It seems that location of pci_request_regions() are wrong.
I moved it just behind pci_enable_device() like other drivers,
and it becomes fine.

Nicolas Pitre 3f2829a315 [ARM] 3105/4: ARM EABI: new syscall entry convention
Patch from Nicolas Pitre

For a while we wanted to change the way syscalls were called on ARM.
Instead of encoding the syscall number in the swi instruction which
requires reading back the instruction from memory to extract that number
and polluting the data cache, it was decided that simply storing the
syscall number into r7 would be more efficient. Since this represents
an ABI change then making that change at the same time as EABI support
is the right thing to do.

It is now expected that EABI user space binaries put the syscall number
into r7 and use "swi 0" to call the kernel. Syscall register argument
are also expected to have "EABI arrangement" i.e. 64-bit arguments
should be put in a pair of registers from an even register number.

Example with long ftruncate64(unsigned int fd, loff_t length):

	legacy ABI:
	- put fd into r0
	- put length into r1-r2
	- use "swi #(0x900000 + 194)" to call the kernel

	new ARM EABI:
	- put fd into r0
	- put length into r2-r3 (skipping over r1)
	- put 194 into r7
	- use "swi 0" to call the kernel

Note that it is important to use 0 for the swi argument as backward
compatibility with legacy ABI user space relies on this.
The syscall macros in asm-arm/unistd.h were also updated to support
both ABIs and implement the right call method automatically.

Nicolas Pitre 2dede2d8e9 [ARM] 3102/1: ARM EABI: stack pointer must be 64-bit aligned after a CPU exception
Patch from Nicolas Pitre

The ARM EABI says that the stack pointer has to be 64-bit aligned for
reasons already mentioned in patch #3101 when calling C functions.

We therefore must verify and adjust sp accordingly when taking an
exception from kernel mode since sp might not necessarily be 64-bit
aligned if the exception occurs in the middle of a kernel function.

If the exception occurs while in user mode then no sp fixup is needed as
long as sizeof(struct pt_regs) as well as any additional syscall data
stack space remain multiples of 8.

Nicolas Pitre da2b1cd619 [ARM] 3101/1: ARM EABI: slab memory must be 64-bit aligned
Patch from Nicolas Pitre

Although ARM is still using 32-bit pointers, version 5 and later
versions of the ARM architecture introduced the ldrd and strd
instructions to move 64-bit data which must be 64-bit aligned in memory,
and the EABI includes new constraints on structure data alignment to
allow for the compiler to use those instructions. This means that any
slab allocation must start on a 64-bit boundary which is not equivalent
to BYTES_PER_WORD, especially on those architecture versions that
implements the ldrd/strd instructions.

Overriding the default alignment disables some slab debug features. If
those debug features are really needed then the kernel will have to be
compiled for version 4 of the ARM architecture.

Paul Mackerras d5f079000b [PATCH] powerpc: Recognize /chaos bridge on old pmacs as PCI
The first generation of PCI powermacs had a host bridge called /chaos
which was for all intents and purposes a PCI host bridge, but has a
device_type of "vci" in the device tree (presumably it's not really
PCI at the hardware level or something).

The OF parsing stuff in arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_parse.c currently
doesn't recognize it as a PCI bridge, which means that controlfb.c
can't get its device addresses.

This makes prom_parse.c recognize a device_type of "vci" as indicating
a PCI host bridge.  With this, controlfb works again.

This adds a bitbanging spi master, hooking up to board/adapter-specific glue
code which knows how to set and read the signals (gpios etc).

This code kicks in after the glue code creates a platform_device with the
right platform_data.  That data includes I/O loops, which will usually
come from expanding an inline function (provided in the header).  One goal
is that the I/O loops should be easily optimized down to a few GPIO register
accesses, in common cases, for speed and minimized overhead.

This understands all the currently defined protocol tweaking options in the
SPI framework, and might eventually serve as as reference implementation.

  - different word sizes (1..32 bits)
  - differing clock rates
  - SPI modes differing by CPOL (affecting chip select and I/O loops)
  - SPI modes differing by CPHA (affecting I/O loops)
  - delays (usecs) after transfers
  - temporarily deselecting chips in mid-transfer

A lot of hardware could work with this framework, though common types of
controller can't reach peak performance without switching to a driver
structure that supports pipelining of transfers (e.g.  DMA queues) and maybe
controllers (e.g.  IRQ driven).

David Brownell 2e5a7bd978 [PATCH] spi: ads7836 uses spi_driver
This updates the ads7864 driver to use the new "spi_driver" struct, and
includes some minor unrelated cleanup.
