If the device can't support block writes then don't attempt to use raw
syncing which will automatically generate block writes for adjacent
registers, use the existing _single() block syncing implementation.

<title>regmap: Fix handling of volatile registers for format_write() chips</title>

<id>5844a8b9d98ec11ce1d77610daacf3f0a0e14715</id>
<content type='text'>
A previous over-zealous factorisation of code means that we only treat
registers as volatile if they are readable. For most devices this is fine
since normally most registers can be read and volatility implies
readability but for format_write() devices where there is no readback from
the hardware and we use volatility to mean simply uncacheability this means
that we end up treating all registers as cacheble.

A bigger refactoring of the code to clarify this is in order but as a fix
make a minimal change and only check readability when checking volatility
if there is no format_write() operation defined for the device.

Commit 6cfec04bcc05 ("regmap: Separate regmap dev initialization") moved the
regmap debugfs initialization after regcache initialization. This means
that the regmap debugfs directory is not created yet when the cache
initialization runs and so any debugfs files registered by the regcache are
created in the debugfs root directory rather than the debugfs directory of
the regmap instance. Fix this by adding a separate callback for the
regcache debugfs initialization which will be called after the parent
debugfs entry has been created.

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "Again, ACPICA leads the pack (47 commits), followed by cpufreq (18
  commits) and system suspend/hibernation (9 commits).

  From the new code perspective, the ACPICA update brings ACPI 5.1 to
  the table, including a new device configuration object called _DSD
  (Device Specific Data) that will hopefully help us to operate device
  properties like Device Trees do (at least to some extent) and changes
  related to supporting ACPI on ARM.

  Apart from that we have hibernation changes making it use radix trees
  to store memory bitmaps which should speed up some operations carried
  out by it quite significantly.  We also have some power management
  changes related to suspend-to-idle (the "freeze" sleep state) support
  and more preliminary changes needed to support ACPI on ARM (outside of
  ACPICA).

  The rest is fixes and cleanups pretty much everywhere.

  Specifics:

   - ACPICA update to upstream version 20140724.  That includes ACPI 5.1
     material (support for the _CCA and _DSD predefined names, changes
     related to the DMAR and PCCT tables and ARM support among other
     things) and cleanups related to using ACPICA's header files.  A
     major part of it is related to acpidump and the core code used by
     that utility.  Changes from Bob Moore, David E Box, Lv Zheng,
     Sascha Wildner, Tomasz Nowicki, Hanjun Guo.

   - Radix trees for memory bitmaps used by the hibernation core from
     Joerg Roedel.

   - Support for waking up the system from suspend-to-idle (also known
     as the "freeze" sleep state) using ACPI-based PCI wakeup signaling
     (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - Fixes for issues related to ACPI button events (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - New device ID for an ACPI-enumerated device included into the
     Wildcat Point PCH from Jie Yang.

   - ACPI video updates related to backlight handling from Hans de Goede
     and Linus Torvalds.

   - Preliminary changes needed to support ACPI on ARM from Hanjun Guo
     and Graeme Gregory.

   - ACPI PNP core cleanups from Arjun Sreedharan and Zhang Rui.

   - Cleanups related to ACPI_COMPANION() and ACPI_HANDLE() macros
     (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - ACPI-based device hotplug cleanups from Wei Yongjun and Rafael J
     Wysocki.

   - Cleanups and improvements related to system suspend from Lan
     Tianyu, Randy Dunlap and Rafael J Wysocki.

   - ACPI battery cleanup from Wei Yongjun.

   - cpufreq core fixes from Viresh Kumar.

   - Elimination of a deadband effect from the cpufreq ondemand governor
     and intel_pstate driver cleanups from Stratos Karafotis.

   - 350MHz CPU support for the powernow-k6 cpufreq driver from Mikulas
     Patocka.

   - Fix for the imx6 cpufreq driver from Anson Huang.

   - cpuidle core and governor cleanups from Daniel Lezcano, Sandeep
     Tripathy and Mohammad Merajul Islam Molla.

   - Build fix for the big_little cpuidle driver from Sachin Kamat.

   - Configuration fix for the Operation Performance Points (OPP)
     framework from Mark Brown.

   - APM cleanup from Jean Delvare.

   - cpupower utility fixes and cleanups from Peter Senna Tschudin,
     Andrey Utkin, Himangi Saraogi, Rickard Strandqvist, Thomas
     Renninger"

<title>mm: export NR_SHMEM via sysinfo(2) / si_meminfo() interfaces</title>

<id>cc7452b6dca384400960d40090a98d0eb920ab22</id>
<content type='text'>
Historically, we exported shared pages to userspace via sysinfo(2)
sharedram and /proc/meminfo's "MemShared" fields.  With the advent of
tmpfs, from kernel v2.4 onward, that old way for accounting shared mem
was deemed inaccurate and we started to export a hard-coded 0 for
sysinfo.sharedram.  Later on, during the 2.6 timeframe, "MemShared" got
re-introduced to /proc/meminfo re-branded as "Shmem", but we're still
reporting sysinfo.sharedmem as that old hard-coded zero, which makes the
"shared memory" report inconsistent across interfaces.

This patch leverages the addition of explicit accounting for pages used
by shmem/tmpfs -- "4b02108 mm: oom analysis: add shmem vmstat" -- in
order to make the users of sysinfo(2) and si_meminfo*() friends aware of
that vmstat entry and make them report it consistently across the
interfaces, as well to make sysinfo(2) returned data consistent with our
current API documentation states.

Use the newer and more pleasant kstrtoull() to replace
simple_strtoull(), because simple_strtoull() is marked for obsoletion.

Conventionally, we put output param to the end of param list and put the
'base' ahead of 'size', but cma_declare_contiguous() doesn't look like
that, so change it.

Additionally, move down cma_areas reference code to the position where
it is really needed.

<title>CMA: generalize CMA reserved area management functionality</title>

Currently, there are two users on CMA functionality, one is the DMA
subsystem and the other is the KVM on powerpc.  They have their own code
to manage CMA reserved area even if they looks really similar.  From my
guess, it is caused by some needs on bitmap management.  KVM side wants
to maintain bitmap not for 1 page, but for more size.  Eventually it use
bitmap where one bit represents 64 pages.

When I implement CMA related patches, I should change those two places
to apply my change and it seem to be painful to me.  I want to change
this situation and reduce future code management overhead through this
patch.

This change could also help developer who want to use CMA in their new
feature development, since they can use CMA easily without copying &amp;
pasting this reserved area management code.

In previous patches, we have prepared some features to generalize CMA
reserved area management and now it's time to do it.  This patch moves
core functions to mm/cma.c and change DMA APIs to use these functions.

There is no functional change in DMA APIs.
