"The main change is the way we reserve eraseblocks for bad blocks
handling. We used to reserve 2% of the partition, but now we are more

actually manufacturers specify in data sheets. We introduced an
option to users to override the default, though.
There are a couple of fixes as well, and a number of cleanups."

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
"This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1. A lot of activities this
round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.
* delayed_work combines a timer and a work item. The handling of the
timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors. delayed_work is
updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
expected.
* Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
timer+work usages. mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.
These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
and behave like timer which is executed with process context.
* A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
half-broken under certain circumstances. This problem doesn't
exist for non-reentrant workqueues. While non-reentrancy check
isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
the overhead isn't too high.
All workqueues are made non-reentrant. This removes the
distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
flush_[delayed_]_work_sync(). The former is now as strong as the
latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
execution of any previous queueing on return.
* In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
hotplug handling significantly.
* Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
hotplug.
There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."
Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts
were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new
code in the merge window, and thus didn't cause any real data conflicts.
Tejun pointed out a few of them, I fixed a couple more.

Pull ARM soc multiplatform enablement from Olof Johansson:
"This is a pretty significant branch. It's the introduction of the
first multiplatform support on ARM, and with this (and the later
branch) merged, it is now possible to build one kernel that contains
support for highbank, vexpress, mvebu, socfpga, and picoxcell. More
platforms will be convered over in the next few releases.
Two critical last things had to be done for this to be practical and
possible:
* Today each platform has its own include directory under
mach-<mach>/include/mach/*, and traditionally that is where a lot
of driver/platform shared definitions have gone, such as platform
data structures. They now need to move out to a common location
instead, and this branch moves a large number of those out to
include/linux/platform_data.
* Each platform used to list the device trees to compile for its
boards in mach-<mach>/Makefile.boot.
Both of the above changes will mean that there are some merge
conflicts to come (and some to resolve here). It's a one-time move
and once it settles in, we should be good for quite a while. Sorry
for the overhead."

Sasha Levin has been running trinity in a KVM tools guest, and was able
to trigger the BUG_ON() at arch/x86/mm/pat.c:279 (verifying the range of
the memory type). The call trace showed that it was mtdchar_mmap() that
created an invalid remap_pfn_range().
The problem is that mtdchar_mmap() does various really odd and subtle
things with the vma page offset etc, and uses the wrong types (and the
wrong overflow) detection for it.
For example, the page offset may well be 32-bit on a 32-bit
architecture, but after shifting it up by PAGE_SHIFT, we need to use a
potentially 64-bit resource_size_t to correctly hold the full value.
Also, we need to check that the vma length plus offset doesn't overflow
before we check that it is smaller than the length of the mtdmap region.
This fixes things up and tries to make the code a bit easier to read.

As the interrupts should only be defined in the platform_data, and
eventually coming from device tree, there's no need to define them
in header files.
Let's remove the hardcoded references to irqs.h and fix up the includes
so we don't rely on headers included in irqs.h. Note that we're
defining OMAP_INTC_START as 0 to the interrupts. This will be needed
when we enable SPARSE_IRQ. For some drivers we need to add
#include <plat/cpu.h> for now until these drivers are fixed to
remove cpu_is_omapxxxx() usage.
While at it, sort som of the includes the standard way, and add
the trailing commas where they are missing in the related data
structures.
Note that for drivers/staging/tidspbridge we just define things
locally.

UBI was mistakingly using 'kfree()' instead of 'kmem_cache_free()' when
freeing "attach eraseblock" structures in vtbl.c. Thankfully, this happened
only when we were doing auto-format, so many systems were unaffected. However,
there are still many users affected.
It is strange, but the system did not crash and nothing bad happened when
the SLUB memory allocator was used. However, in case of SLOB we observed an
crash right away.
This problem was introduced in 2.6.39 by commit
"6c1e875 UBI: add slab cache for ubi_scan_leb objects"
A note for stable trees:
Because variable were renamed, this won't cleanly apply to older kernels.
Changing names like this should help:
1. ai -> si
2. aeb_slab_cache -> seb_slab_cache
3. new_aeb -> new_seb

On NAND flash devices, UBI reserves some physical erase blocks (PEB) for
bad block handling. Today, the number of reserved PEB can only be set as a
percentage of the total number of PEB in each MTD partition. For example, for a
NAND flash with 128KiB PEB, 2 MTD partition of 20MiB (mtd0) and 100MiB (mtd1)
and 2% reserved PEB:
- the UBI device on mtd0 will have 2 PEB reserved
- the UBI device on mtd1 will have 16 PEB reserved
The problem with this behaviour is that NAND flash manufacturers give a
minimum number of valid block (NVB) during the endurance life of the
device, e.g.:
Parameter Symbol Min Max Unit Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------
Valid block number NVB 1004 1024 Blocks 1
From this number we can deduce the maximum number of bad PEB that a device will
contain during its endurance life: a 128MiB NAND flash (1024 PEB) will not have
less than 20 bad blocks during the flash endurance life.
But the manufacturer doesn't tell where those bad block will appear. He doesn't
say either if they will be equally disposed on the whole device (and I'm pretty
sure they won't). So, according to the datasheets, we should reserve the
maximum number of bad PEB for each UBI device (worst case scenario: 20 bad
blocks appears on the smallest MTD partition).
So this patch make UBI use the whole MTD device size to calculate the maximum
bad expected eraseblocks.
The Kconfig option is in per1024 blocks, thus it can have a default value of 20
which is *very* common for NAND devices.

'mtd_get_device_size()' returns the size of the whole MTD device, that is the
mtd_info master size. This will be used by UBI to calculate the maximum number
of bad blocks (MBB) on a MTD device.
Artem: amended the patch a bit.

CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_RESERVE and MIN_RESEVED_PEBS are no longer used,
since the amount of reserved eraseblocks for bad PEB handling is now
derived from 'ubi->bad_peb_limit' (ubi's maximum expected bad
eraseblocks).

The existing mechanism of reserving PEBs for bad PEB handling has two
flaws:
- It is calculated as a percentage of good PEBs instead of total PEBs.
- There's no limit on the amount of PEBs UBI reserves for future bad
eraseblock handling.
This patch changes the mechanism to overcome these flaws.
The desired level of PEBs reserved for bad PEB handling (beb_rsvd_level)
is set to the maximum expected bad eraseblocks (bad_peb_limit) minus the
existing number of bad eraseblocks (bad_peb_count).
The actual amount of PEBs reserved for bad PEB handling is usually set
to the desired level (but in some circumstances may be lower than the
desired level, e.g. when attaching to a device that has too few
available PEBs to satisfy the desired level).
In the case where the device has too many bad PEBs (above the expected
limit), then the desired level, and the actual amount of PEBs reserved
are set to zero. No PEBs will be set aside for future bad eraseblock
handling - even if some PEBs are made available (e.g. by shrinking a
volume).
If another PEB goes bad, and there are available PEBs, then the
eraseblock will be marked bad (consuming one available PEB). But if
there are no available PEBs, ubi will go into readonly mode.

Introduce 'ubi->bad_peb_limit', which specifies an upper limit of PEBs
UBI expects to go bad. Currently, it is initialized to a fixed percentage
of total PEBs in the UBI device (configurable via CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT).
The 'bad_peb_limit' is intended to be used for calculating the amount of PEBs
UBI needs to reserve for bad eraseblock handling.
Artem: minor amendments.
