IDE subsystem has been deprecated since 2009 and the majority
(if not all) of Linux distributions have switched to use
libata for ATA support exclusively. However there are still
some users (mostly old or/and embedded non-x86 systems) that
have not converted from using IDE subsystem to libata PATA
drivers. This doesn't seem to be good thing in the long-term
for Linux as while there is less and less PATA systems left
in use:
* testing efforts are divided between two subsystems
* having duplicate drivers for same hardware confuses users
This patch converts malta_defconfig to use libata PATA
drivers.

This patch converts lemote2f_defconfig to use libata PATA
drivers.
PS This platform uses CS5536 chipset which (due to historical
reasons) has basic support in AMD/nVidia PATA host driver and
full support in a newer CS5536 PATA one (pata_cs5536). Thus
most likely this platform should switch to using the latter
host driver.

If we fail to register any real SMP implementations, fall back to
registering the dummy UP implementation. Otherwise when we build an SMP
kernel & run it on a system where the SMP implementations fail to probe
(eg. QEMU) the kernel will perform a NULL dereference attempting to call
mp_ops->smp_setup() from plat_smp_setup().
Notably this fixes booting kernels with CPS SMP enabled on QEMU, which
doesn't currently implement the CM, CPC or GIC.

Move memory configuration to be performed via device tree for the Malta
board. This moves more Malta specific code to malta-dtshim.c, leaving
the rest of the mti-malta code a little more board-agnostic. This will
be useful to share more code between boards, with the device tree
providing the board specifics as intended.
Since we can't rely upon Malta boards running a bootloader capable of
handling devictrees & filling in the required information, a piece of
shim code (malta_dt_shim) is added to consume the (e)memsize variables
provided as part of the bootloader environment (or on the kernel command
line) then generate the DT memory node using the provided values.

Commit a68d09a156b2 ("MIPS: Don't use RI/XI with 32-bit kernels on
64-bit CPUs") prevented use of RIXI on MIPS64 systems, stating that the
"TLB handlers cannot handle this case". What they actually couldn't
handle was cases where there were less fill bits in the Entry{Lo,Hi}
registers than bits used by software in PTEs. The handlers can now deal
with this case, so enable RIXI for MIPS32 kernels on MIPS64 systems.
Note that beyond the obvious benefits provided by having RIXI on such
systems, this is required for systems implementing MIPSr6 where RIXI
cannot be disabled.
This reverts commit a68d09a156b2 ("MIPS: Don't use RI/XI with 32-bit
kernels on 64-bit CPUs").

Commit 748e787eb6de ("MIPS: Optimize TLB refill for RI/XI
configurations.") stopped explicitly clearing the bits used by software
in PTEs by making use of a rotate instruction that rotates them into the
fill bits of the Entry{Lo,Hi} register. This can only work if there are
actually enough fill bits in the register to cover the software
maintained bits, otherwise we end up writing those bits into the upper
bits of the PFN or PFNX field of the Entry{Lo,Hi} register.
Fix this by detecting the number of fill bits present in the
Entry{Lo,Hi} registers & explicitly clearing the software bits where
necessary.

Prior to release 6 of the MIPS architecture it has been implementation
dependent whether masked interrupts cause a wait instruction to return,
so the kernel has effectively had to maintain a whitelist of cores upon
which it is safe to use the r4k_wait_irqoff cpu_wait implementation.
With MIPSr6 this is no longer implementation dependent and
r4k_wait_irqoff can always be used.
Remove the existing I6400 case which will no longer ever be hit, and was
incorrect anyway since I6400 & r6 in general doesn't have the WII bit.

Introduce mips_cm_lock_other & mips_cm_unlock_other, mirroring the
existing CPC equivalents, in order to lock access from the current core
to another via the core-other GCR region. This hasn't been required in
the past but with CM3 the CPC starts using GCR_CL_OTHER rather than
CPC_CL_OTHER and this will be required for safety.

not have a stack, be coherent or even have initialised caches.

Remove the definition in locore.S and move a few of the other similar
definitions in asm/mipsregs.h too. CP0_INTCTL, CP0_SRSCTL, & CP0_SRSMAP
are unused so they're just dropped instead. CP0_DDATA_LO is left where
it is as I have patches to eliminate its use in locore.S and it
otherwise is unlikely to need to be used from assembly code.

Pull ARM SoC defconfig updates from Olof Johansson:
"Defconfig updates are kept separate from other branches mostly to
avoid conflicts between the different categories (driver branch
enabling something that has context conflict with SoC options, etc).
A lot of this again is scattered across the various hardware
platforms. multi_v7_defconfig, our "generic" config for most 32-bit
platforms has been gone through by Marvell Berlin maintainers and
added most options they need to run on their hardware. Broadcom NSP
is also added there, and the new Atmel SAMA5D2 (added last release).
Rockchip also has display and other devices supported in that config.
In addition to that, the usual small churn of new options being added
here and there"

Pull ARM SoC driver updates from Olof Johansson:
"As we've enabled multiplatform kernels on ARM, and greatly done away
with the contents under arch/arm/mach-*, there's still need for
SoC-related drivers to go somewhere.
Many of them go in through other driver trees, but we still have
drivers/soc to hold some of the "doesn't fit anywhere" lowlevel code
that might be shared between ARM and ARM64 (or just in general makes
sense to not have under the architecture directory).
This branch contains mostly such code:
- Drivers for qualcomm SoCs for SMEM, SMD and SMD-RPM, used to
communicate with power management blocks on these SoCs for use by
clock, regulator and bus frequency drivers.
- Allwinner Reduced Serial Bus driver, again used to communicate with
PMICs.
- Drivers for ARM's SCPI (System Control Processor). Not to be
confused with PSCI (Power State Coordination Interface). SCPI is
used to communicate with the assistant embedded cores doing power
management, and we have yet to see how many of them will implement
this for their hardware vs abstracting in other ways (or not at all
like in the past).
- To make confusion between SCPI and PSCI more likely, this release
also includes an update of PSCI to interface version 1.0.
- Rockchip support for power domains.
- A driver to talk to the firmware on Raspberry Pi"

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"Outside of the new ACPI-NFIT hot-add support this pull request is more
notable for what it does not contain, than what it does. There were a
handful of development topics this cycle, dax get_user_pages, dax
fsync, and raw block dax, that need more more iteration and will wait
for 4.5.
The patches to make devm and the pmem driver NUMA aware have been in
-next for several weeks. The hot-add support has not, but is
contained to the NFIT driver and is passing unit tests. The coredump
support is straightforward and was looked over by Jeff. All of it has
received a 0day build success notification across 107 configs.
Summary:
- Add support for the ACPI 6.0 NFIT hot add mechanism to process
updates of the NFIT at runtime.
- Teach the coredump implementation how to filter out DAX mappings.
- Introduce NUMA hints for allocations made by the pmem driver, and
as a side effect all devm allocations now hint their NUMA node by
default"

Use a PWM lookup table to provide the PWM to the pwm-backlight device.
The driver has a legacy code path that is required only because boards
still use the legacy method of requesting PWMs by global ID. Replacing
these usages allows that legacy fallback to be removed.

This is needed to avoid the possibility that the guest triggers

It was found that a guest can DoS a host by triggering an infinite
stream of "alignment check" (#AC) exceptions. This causes the
microcode to enter an infinite loop where the core never receives
another interrupt. The host kernel panics pretty quickly due to the
effects (CVE-2015-5307).
