Linus Torvalds e6874fc294 Staging/IIO driver patches for 5.4-rc1
Here is the big staging/iio driver update for 5.4-rc1.
 
 Lots of churn here, with a few driver/filesystems moving out of staging
 finally:
 	- erofs moved out of staging
 	- greybus core code moved out of staging
 
 Along with that, a new filesytem has been added:
 	- extfat
 to provide support for those devices requiring that filesystem (i.e.
 transfer devices to/from windows systems or printers.)
 
 Other than that, there a number of new IIO drivers, and lots and lots
 and lots of staging driver cleanups and minor fixes as people continue
 to dig into those for easy changes.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
 issues.

Linus Torvalds c6b48dad92 USB changes for 5.4-rc1
Here is the big set of USB patches for 5.4-rc1.
 
 Two major chunks of code are moving out of the tree and into the staging
 directory, uwb and wusb (wireless USB support), because there are no
 devices that actually use this protocol anymore, and what we have today
 probably doesn't work at all given that the maintainers left many many
 years ago.  So move it to staging where it will be removed in a few
 releases if no one screams.
 
 Other than that, lots of little things.  The usual gadget and xhci and
 usb serial driver updates, along with a bunch of sysfs file cleanups due
 to the driver core changes to support that.  Nothing really major, just
 constant forward progress.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported

Linus Walleij 6a80b30086 fmc: Delete the FMC subsystem
The FMC subsystem was created in 2012 with the ambition to
drive development of drivers for this hardware upstream.

The current implementation has architectural flaws and would
need to be revamped using real hardware to something that can
reuse existing kernel abstractions in the subsystems for e.g.
I2C, FPGA and GPIO.

We have concluded that for the mainline kernel it will be
better to delete the subsystem and start over with a clean
slate when/if an active maintainer steps up.

William Breathitt Gray 0040a390d2 counter: Introduce the Generic Counter interface
This patch introduces the Generic Counter interface for supporting
counter devices.

In the context of the Generic Counter interface, a counter is defined as
a device that reports one or more "counts" based on the state changes of
one or more "signals" as evaluated by a defined "count function."

Driver callbacks should be provided to communicate with the device: to
read and write various Signals and Counts, and to set and get the
"action mode" and "count function" for various Synapses and Counts
respectively.

To support a counter device, a driver must first allocate the available
Counter Signals via counter_signal structures. These Signals should
be stored as an array and set to the signals array member of an
allocated counter_device structure before the Counter is registered to
the system.

Counter Counts may be allocated via counter_count structures, and
respective Counter Signal associations (Synapses) made via
counter_synapse structures. Associated counter_synapse structures are
stored as an array and set to the the synapses array member of the
respective counter_count structure. These counter_count structures are
set to the counts array member of an allocated counter_device structure
before the Counter is registered to the system.

A counter device is registered to the system by passing the respective
initialized counter_device structure to the counter_register function;
similarly, the counter_unregister function unregisters the respective
Counter. The devm_counter_register and devm_counter_unregister functions
serve as device memory-managed versions of the counter_register and
counter_unregister functions respectively.

Georgi Djakov 11f1ceca70 interconnect: Add generic on-chip interconnect API
This patch introduces a new API to get requirements and configure the
interconnect buses across the entire chipset to fit with the current
demand.

The API is using a consumer/provider-based model, where the providers are
the interconnect buses and the consumers could be various drivers.
The consumers request interconnect resources (path) between endpoints and
set the desired constraints on this data flow path. The providers receive
requests from consumers and aggregate these requests for all master-slave
pairs on that path. Then the providers configure each node along the path
to support a bandwidth that satisfies all bandwidth requests that cross
through that node. The topology could be complicated and multi-tiered and
is SoC specific.

Boris Brezillon 3a379bbcea i3c: Add core I3C infrastructure
Add core infrastructure to support I3C in Linux and document it.

This infrastructure adds basic I3C support. Advanced features will be
added afterwards.

There are a few design choices that are worth mentioning because they
impact the way I3C device drivers can interact with their devices:

- all functions used to send I3C/I2C frames must be called in
  non-atomic context. Mainly done this way to ease implementation, but
  this is not set in stone, and if anyone needs async support, new
  functions can be added later on.
- the bus element is a separate object, but it's tightly coupled with
  the master object. We thus have a 1:1 relationship between i3c_bus
  and i3c_master_controller objects, and if 2 master controllers are
  connected to the same bus and both exposed to the same Linux instance
  they will appear as two distinct busses, and devices on this bus will
  be exposed twice.
- I2C backward compatibility has been designed to be transparent to I2C
  drivers and the I2C subsystem. The I3C master just registers an I2C
  adapter which creates a new I2C bus. I'd say that, from a
  representation PoV it's not ideal because what should appear as a
  single I3C bus exposing I3C and I2C devices here appears as 2
  different buses connected to each other through the parenting (the
  I3C master is the parent of the I2C and I3C busses).
  On the other hand, I don't see a better solution if we want something
  that is not invasive.

Missing features:
- I3C HDR modes are not supported
- no support for multi-master and the associated concepts (mastership
  handover, support for secondary masters, ...)
- I2C devices can only be described using DT because this is the only
  use case I have. However, the framework can easily be extended with
  ACPI and board info support
- I3C slave framework. This has been completely omitted, but shouldn't
  have a huge impact on the I3C framework because I3C slaves don't see
  the whole bus, it's only about handling master requests and generating
  IBIs. Some of the struct, constant and enum definitions could be
  shared, but most of the I3C slave framework logic will be different

Johan Hovold 2b6a440351 gnss: add GNSS receiver subsystem
Add a new subsystem for GNSS (e.g. GPS) receivers.

While GNSS receivers are typically accessed using a UART interface they
often also support other I/O interfaces such as I2C, SPI and USB, while
yet other devices use iomem or even some form of remote-processor
messaging (rpmsg).

The new GNSS subsystem abstracts the underlying interface and provides a
new "gnss" class type, which exposes a character-device interface (e.g.
/dev/gnss0) to user space. This allows GNSS receivers to have a
representation in the Linux device model, something which is important
not least for power management purposes.

Note that the character-device interface provides raw access to whatever
protocol the receiver is (currently) using, such as NMEA 0183, UBX or
SiRF Binary. These protocols are expected to be continued to be handled
by user space for the time being, even if some hybrid solutions are also
conceivable (e.g. to have kernel drivers issue management commands).

This will still allow for better platform integration by allowing GNSS
devices and their resources (e.g. regulators and enable-gpios) to be
described by firmware and managed by kernel drivers rather than
platform-specific scripts and services.

While the current interface is kept minimal, it could be extended using
IOCTLs, sysfs or uevents as needs and proper abstraction levels are
identified and determined (e.g. for device and feature identification).

SLIMbus (Serial Low Power Interchip Media Bus) is a specification
developed by MIPI (Mobile Industry Processor Interface) alliance.
SLIMbus is a 2-wire implementation, which is used to communicate with
peripheral components like audio-codec.
SLIMbus uses Time-Division-Multiplexing to accommodate multiple data
channels, and control channel. Control channel has messages to do
device-enumeration, messages to send/receive control-data to/from
SLIMbus devices, messages for port/channel management, and messages to
do bandwidth allocation.
The framework supports multiple instances of the bus (1 controller per
bus), and multiple slave devices per controller.

This patch adds support to basic silmbus core which includes support to
SLIMbus type, slimbus device registeration and some basic data structures.

Uwe Kleine-König bbecb07fa0 siox: new driver framework for eckelmann SIOX
SIOX is a bus system invented at Eckelmann AG to control their building
management and refrigeration systems. Traditionally the bus was
implemented on custom microcontrollers, today Linux based machines are
in use, too.

The topology on a SIOX bus looks as follows:

      ,------->--DCLK-->---------------+----------------------.
      ^                                v                      v
 ,--------.                ,----------------------.       ,------
 |        |                |   ,--------------.   |       |
 |        |--->--DOUT-->---|->-|shift register|->-|--->---|
 |        |                |   `--------------'   |       |
 | master |                |        device        |       |  device
 |        |                |   ,--------------.   |       |
 |        |---<--DIN---<---|-<-|shift register|-<-|---<---|
 |        |                |   `--------------'   |       |
 `--------'                `----------------------'       `------
      v                                ^                      ^
      `----------DLD-------------------+----------------------'

There are two control lines (DCLK and DLD) driven from the bus master to
all devices in parallel and two daisy chained data lines, one for input
and one for output. DCLK is the clock to shift both chains by a single
bit. On an edge of DLD the devices latch both their input and output
shift registers.

This patch adds a framework for this bus type.

Greg Kroah-Hartman b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Peter Rosin a3b02a9c65 mux: minimal mux subsystem
Add a new minimalistic subsystem that handles multiplexer controllers.
When multiplexers are used in various places in the kernel, and the
same multiplexer controller can be used for several independent things,
there should be one place to implement support for said multiplexer
controller.

A single multiplexer controller can also be used to control several
parallel multiplexers, that are in turn used by different subsystems
in the kernel, leading to a need to coordinate multiplexer accesses.
The multiplexer subsystem handles this coordination.

Thanks go out to Lars-Peter Clausen, Jonathan Cameron, Rob Herring,
Wolfram Sang, Paul Gortmaker, Dan Carpenter, Colin Ian King, Greg
Kroah-Hartman and last but certainly not least to Philipp Zabel for
helpful comments, reviews, patches and general encouragement!

Jens Wiklander 967c9cca2c tee: generic TEE subsystem
Initial patch for generic TEE subsystem.
This subsystem provides:
* Registration/un-registration of TEE drivers.
* Shared memory between normal world and secure world.
* Ioctl interface for interaction with user space.
* Sysfs implementation_id of TEE driver

A TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) driver is a driver that interfaces
with a trusted OS running in some secure environment, for example,
TrustZone on ARM cpus, or a separate secure co-processor etc.

The TEE subsystem can serve a TEE driver for a Global Platform compliant
TEE, but it's not limited to only Global Platform TEEs.

This patch builds on other similar implementations trying to solve
the same problem:

Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem DAX
(CONFIG_FS_DAX).  It allows memory ranges to be allocated and mapped
without need of an intervening file system.  Device DAX is strict,
precise and predictable.  Specifically this interface:

1/ Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size (pte,
pmd, or pud) set at configuration time.

2/ Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about what fault
scenarios are supported.

For example, by forcing MADV_DONTFORK semantics and omitting MAP_PRIVATE
support device-dax guarantees that a mapping always behaves/performs the
same once established.  It is the "what you see is what you get" access
mechanism to differentiated memory vs filesystem DAX which has
filesystem specific implementation semantics.

Persistent memory is the first target, but the mechanism is also
targeted for exclusive allocations of performance differentiated memory
ranges.

This commit is limited to the base device driver infrastructure to
associate a dax device with pmem range.

Matias Bjørling cd9e9808d1 lightnvm: Support for Open-Channel SSDs
Open-channel SSDs are devices that share responsibilities with the host
in order to implement and maintain features that typical SSDs keep
strictly in firmware. These include (i) the Flash Translation Layer
(FTL), (ii) bad block management, and (iii) hardware units such as the
flash controller, the interface controller, and large amounts of flash
chips. In this way, Open-channels SSDs exposes direct access to their
physical flash storage, while keeping a subset of the internal features
of SSDs.

LightNVM is a specification that gives support to Open-channel SSDs
LightNVM allows the host to manage data placement, garbage collection,
and parallelism. Device specific responsibilities such as bad block
management, FTL extensions to support atomic IOs, or metadata
persistence are still handled by the device.

The implementation of LightNVM consists of two parts: core and
(multiple) targets. The core implements functionality shared across
targets. This is initialization, teardown and statistics. The targets
implement the interface that exposes physical flash to user-space
applications. Examples of such targets include key-value store,
object-store, as well as traditional block devices, which can be
application-specific.

Jay Sternberg 57dacad5f2 nvme: move to a new drivers/nvme/host directory
This patch moves the NVMe driver from drivers/block/ to its own new
drivers/nvme/host/ directory.  This is in preparation of splitting the
current monolithic driver up and add support for the upcoming NVMe
over Fabrics standard.  The drivers/nvme/host/ is chose to leave space
for a NVMe target implementation in addition to this host side driver.

Alexander Shishkin 39f4034693 intel_th: Add driver infrastructure for Intel(R) Trace Hub devices
Intel(R) Trace Hub (TH) is a set of hardware blocks (subdevices) that
produce, switch and output trace data from multiple hardware and
software sources over several types of trace output ports encoded
in System Trace Protocol (MIPI STPv2) and is intended to perform
full system debugging.

For these subdevices, we create a bus, where they can be discovered
and configured by userspace software.

This patch creates this bus infrastructure, three types of devices
(source, output, switch), resource allocation, some callback mechanisms
to facilitate communication between the subdevices' drivers and some
common sysfs attributes.

Alexander Shishkin 7bd1d4093c stm class: Introduce an abstraction for System Trace Module devices
A System Trace Module (STM) is a device exporting data in System Trace
Protocol (STP) format as defined by MIPI STP standards. Examples of such
devices are Intel(R) Trace Hub and Coresight STM.

This abstraction provides a unified interface for software trace sources
to send their data over an STM device to a debug host. In order to do
that, such a trace source needs to be assigned a pair of master/channel
identifiers that all the data from this source will be tagged with. The
STP decoder on the debug host side will use these master/channel tags to
distinguish different trace streams from one another inside one STP
stream.

This abstraction provides a configfs-based policy management mechanism
for dynamic allocation of these master/channel pairs based on trace
source-supplied string identifier. It has the flexibility of being
defined at runtime and at the same time (provided that the policy
definition is aligned with the decoding end) consistency.

For userspace trace sources, this abstraction provides write()-based and
mmap()-based (if the underlying stm device allows this) output mechanism.

For kernel-side trace sources, we provide "stm_source" device class that
can be connected to an stm device at run time.

Srinivas Kandagatla eace75cfdc nvmem: Add a simple NVMEM framework for nvmem providers
This patch adds just providers part of the framework just to enable easy
review.

Up until now, NVMEM drivers like eeprom were stored in drivers/misc,
where they all had to duplicate pretty much the same code to register
a sysfs file, allow in-kernel users to access the content of the devices
they were driving, etc.

This was also a problem as far as other in-kernel users were involved,
since the solutions used were pretty much different from on driver to
another, there was a rather big abstraction leak.

This introduction of this framework aims at solving this. It also
introduces DT representation for consumer devices to go get the data
they require (MAC Addresses, SoC/Revision ID, part numbers, and so on)
from the nvmems.

Having regmap interface to this framework would give much better
abstraction for nvmems on different buses.

Alan Cox 2cbf7fe2d5 i2o: move to staging
The I2O layer deals with a technology that to say the least didn't catch on
in the market.

The only relevant products are some of the AMI MegaRAID - which supported I2O
and its native mode (The native mode is faster and runs on Linux), an
obscure crypto ethernet card that's now so many years out of date nobody
would use it, the old DPT controllers, which speak their own dialect and
have their own driver - and ermm.. thats about it.

We also know the code isn't in good shape as recently a patch was proposed
and queried as buggy, which in turn showed the existing code was broken
already by prior "clean up" and nobody had noticed that either.

It's coding style robot code nothing more. Like some forgotten corridor
cleaned relentlessly by a lost Roomba but where no user has trodden in years.

Move it to staging and then to /dev/null.

The headers remain as they are shared with dpt_i2o.

Linus Torvalds dab363f938 Staging patches for 3.19-rc1
Here's the big staging tree pull request for 3.19-rc1.
 
 We continued to delete more lines than were added, always a good thing,
 but not at a huge rate this release, only about 70k lines removed
 overall mostly from removing the horrid bcm driver.
 
 Lots of normal staging driver cleanups and fixes all over the place,
 well over a thousand of them, the shortlog shows all the horrid details.
 
 The "contentious" thing here is the movement of the Android binder code
 out of staging into the "real" part of the kernel.  This is code that
 has been stable for a few years now and is working as-is in the tens of
 millions of devices with no issues.  Yes, the code is horrid, and the
 userspace api leaves a lot to be desired, but it's not going to change
 due to legacy issues that we have no control over.  Because so many
 devices and companies rely on this, and the code is stable, might as
 well promote it out of staging.
 
 This was all discussed at the Linux Plumbers conference, and everyone
 participating agreed that this was the best way forward.
 
 There is work happening to replace the binder code with something new
 that is happening right now, but I don't expect to see the results of
 that work for another year at the earliest.  If that ever happens, and
 Android switches over to it, I'll gladly remove this version.
 
 As for maintainers, I'll be glad to maintain this code, I've been doing
 it for the past few years with no problems.  I'll send a MAINTAINERS
 entry for it before 3.19-final is out, still need to talk to the Google
 developers about if they are willing to help with it or not, last I
 checked they were, which was good.
 
 All of these patches have been in linux-next for a while with no
 reported issues.

Sandeep Nair 41f93af900 soc: ti: add Keystone Navigator QMSS driver
The QMSS (Queue Manager Sub System) found on Keystone SOCs is one of
the main hardware sub system which forms the backbone of the Keystone
Multi-core Navigator. QMSS consist of queue managers, packed-data structure
processors(PDSP), linking RAM, descriptor pools and infrastructure
Packet DMA.

The Queue Manager is a hardware module that is responsible for accelerating
management of the packet queues. Packets are queued/de-queued by writing or
reading descriptor address to a particular memory mapped location. The PDSPs
perform QMSS related functions like accumulation, QoS, or event management.
Linking RAM registers are used to link the descriptors which are stored in
descriptor RAM. Descriptor RAM is configurable as internal or external memory.

The QMSS driver manages the PDSP setups, linking RAM regions,
queue pool management (allocation, push, pop and notify) and descriptor
pool management. The specifics on the device tree bindings for
QMSS can be found in:
