Although it seems ObviouslyCorrect™, the spi_write() call uses DMA,
while spi_write_then_read() does not. Since our buffer is on the stack,
we must use the latter even though we don't actually want to read

The CFI information read from AT49BV6416 lists the erase regions in the
wrong order, causing problems when trying to erase or update the first

Work around this by inverting the "top boot" flag, which will
effectively reverse the order of the erase regions.
This chip is obsolete, but it's used in some existing designs.

This patch adds TopBottom detection for most Macronix chips with CFI V1.0.
The main purpose of this patch is to add detection of the MX29LV400C B
used on the LaCie Ethernet Disk mini V2 NAS.
It detects the following parts correctly:-
MX28F640C3B T
MX29LV002C B
MX29LV002NC B
MX29LV004C T
MX29LV400C T/B
MX29LV800C T/B
MX29LV160C T/B
MX29SL800C T/B
MX29SL802C T/B
It detects the following uniform part as bottom but it should work
correctly:-
MX29LV040C
For T parts it causes the erase block table to be reversed correctly.
For other parts it avoids the bogus "Assuming top" message.
It does not detect the following correctly:-
MX28F640C3B B
MX29LV002C T
MX29LV002NC T
MX29LV004C B
MX29SL400C T/B
MX29SL402C T/B
If desired I could supply a more complicated patch to handle these as
well.
Only the MX29LV400C B has been physically tested; others were checked
against their data sheets.

When changing the sample rate, the CMI8788's master clock output becomes

rate change will garble the value. In our case, this leads to the DACs
being misconfigured to I2S sample format, which results in a wrong

sched: fix sched_rt_rq_enqueue() resched idle

where we see one or more CPUs idling forvever even though there are
real-time
tasks in their rt runqueue that are able to run (no longer throttled).
The sequence is:
- A real-time task is running when the timer sets the rt runqueue
to throttled, and the rt task is resched_task()ed and switched
out, and idle is switched in since there are no non-rt tasks to
run on that cpu.
- Eventually the do_sched_rt_period_timer() runs and un-throttles
the rt runqueue, but we just exit the timer interrupt and go back
to executing the idle task in the idle loop forever.
If we change the sched_rt_rq_enqueue() routine to use some of the code
from the CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED enabled version of this same routine and
resched_task() the currently executing task (idle in our case) if it is
a lower priority task than the higher rt task in the now un-throttled

ftrace: disable tracing for suspend to ram

ftraced. The 2.6.28 code does not have this issue, but since the mcount

The resume from suspend to ram would reboot because it was triple
faulting. Debugging further, I found that calling the mcount function
itself was not an issue, but it would fault when it incremented
preempt_count. preempt_count is on the tasks info structure that is on the
low memory address of the task's stack. For some reason, it could not
write to it. Resuming out of suspend to ram does quite a lot of funny
tricks to get to work, so it is not surprising at all that simply doing a
preempt_disable() would cause a fault.
Thanks to Rafael for suggesting to add a "while (1);" to find the place in
resuming that is causing the fault. I would place the loop somewhere in
the code, compile and reboot and see if it would either reboot (hit the
fault) or simply hang (hit the loop). Doing this over and over again, I
narrowed it down that it was happening in enable_nonboot_cpus.
At this point, I found that it is easier to simply disable tracing around
the suspend code, instead of searching for the particular function that
can not handle doing a preempt_disable.
This patch disables the tracer as it suspends and reenables it on resume.
I tested this patch on my Laptop, and it can resume fine with the patch.

In particular, the "struct file *" and the "struct inode *" arguments do
not necessarily match, which means that the unlocked version of the
ioctl (that only gets a "struct file *") isn't actually able to handle
the cases it needs to handle.

[ARM] Skip memory holes in FLATMEM when reading /proc/pagetypeinfo
Ordinarily, memory holes in flatmem still have a valid memmap and is safe
to use. However, an architecture (ARM) frees up the memmap backing memory
holes on the assumption it is never used. /proc/pagetypeinfo reads the
whole range of pages in a zone believing that the memmap is valid and that
pfn_valid will return false if it is not. On ARM, freeing the memmap breaks
the page->zone linkages even though pfn_valid() returns true and the kernel
can oops shortly afterwards due to accessing a bogus struct zone *.
This patch lets architectures say when FLATMEM can have holes in the
memmap. Rather than an expensive check for valid memory, /proc/pagetypeinfo
will confirm that the page linkages are still valid by checking page->zone
is still the expected zone. The lookup of page_zone is safe as there is a
limited range of memory that is accessed when calling page_zone. Even if
page_zone happens to return the correct zone, the impact is that the counters
in /proc/pagetypeinfo are slightly off but fragmentation monitoring is
unlikely to be relevant on an embedded system.
