Pull driver core patches from Greg KH:
 "Here's the big driver core pull request for 3.12-rc1.

  Lots of tiny changes here fixing up the way sysfs attributes are
  created, to try to make drivers simpler, and fix a whole class race
  conditions with creations of device attributes after the device was
  announced to userspace.

  All the various pieces are acked by the different subsystem
  maintainers"

uio: drop unused vma_count member in uio_device struct

2013-08-12T22:46:51+00:00

vma_count is used write-only and so fails to be useful. So remove it.

uio: provide vm access to UIO_MEM_PHYS maps

2013-08-12T22:46:51+00:00

This makes it possible to let gdb access mappings of the process that is
being debugged.

uio_mmap_logical was moved and uio_vm_ops renamed to group related code
and differentiate to new stuff.

UIO: convert class code to use dev_groups

2013-07-24T22:39:05+00:00

The dev_attrs field of struct class is going away soon, dev_groups
should be used instead.  This converts the uio class code to use the
correct field.

uio: use vma_pages() to replace (vm_end - vm_start) >> PAGE_SHIFT

2013-07-03T23:07:26+00:00

as a inline funcion vma_pages() in linux/mm.h, so using it.

drivers: uio: Fix UIO device registration failure

2013-03-29T16:08:22+00:00

Until recently uio_get_minor() returned 0 for success and
a negative value on failure.  This became non-negative for suceess and
negative for failure.  Restore the original return value spec so that we can
successfully initialize UIO devices with a non-zero minor device
number.

mm: kill vma flag VM_RESERVED and mm->reserved_vm counter

2012-10-09T07:22:19+00:00

A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:

 | effect                 | alternative flags
-+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
2| skip in core dump      | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
4| do not mlock           | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP

This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct.  Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.

Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

uio: Support physical addresses >32 bits on 32-bit systems

2011-10-18T18:18:57+00:00

To support >32-bit physical addresses for UIO_MEM_PHYS type we need to
extend the width of 'addr' in struct uio_mem.  Numerous platforms like
embedded PPC, ARM, and X86 have support for systems with larger physical
address than logical.

Since 'addr' may contain a physical, logical, or virtual address the
easiest solution is to just change the type to 'phys_addr_t' which
should always be greater than or equal to the sizeof(void *) such that
it can properly hold any of the address types.

For physical address we can support up to a 44-bit physical address on a
typical 32-bit system as we utilize remap_pfn_range() for the mapping of
the memory region and pfn's are represnted by shifting the address by
the page size (typically 4k).
