<title>OMAPDSS: fix timings for VENC to match what omapdrm expects</title>

Otherwise check_timings fails and we get a "has no modes" message
from xrandr.

This fix makes the venc assume PAL and NTSC timings that match the
timings synthetized by copy_timings_drm_to_omap() from omapdrm
mode settings so that check_timings() succeeds.

Tested on: BeagleBoard XM, GTA04 and OpenPandora

If diu_ops is not implemented on platform, kernel will access a NULL
pointer. We need to check this pointer in DIU initialization.

<title>mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d0164adc89f6bb374d304ffcc375c6d2652fe67d</id>
<content type='text'>
__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts.  They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve".  __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".

Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available.  Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.

This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative.  High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH.  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim.  __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim.  __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.

This patch then converts a number of sites

o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
  pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.

o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
  into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
  are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.

o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
  helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
  checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
  positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
  is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
  flag manipulations.

o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
  and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.

The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.

The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL.  They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.  It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

Pull v4.4 EFI updates from Matt Fleming:

  - Make the EFI System Resource Table (ESRT) driver explicitly
    non-modular by ripping out the module_* code since Kconfig doesn't
    allow it to be built as a module anyway. (Paul Gortmaker)

  - Make the x86 efi=debug kernel parameter, which enables EFI debug
    code and output, generic and usable by arm64. (Leif Lindholm)

  - Add support to the x86 EFI boot stub for 64-bit Graphics Output
    Protocol frame buffer addresses. (Matt Fleming)

  - Detect when the UEFI v2.5 EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE feature is enabled
    in the firmware and set an efi.flags bit so the kernel knows when
    it can apply more strict runtime mapping attributes - Ard Biesheuvel

  - Auto-load the efi-pstore module on EFI systems, just like we
    currently do for the efivars module. (Ben Hutchings)

  - Add "efi_fake_mem" kernel parameter which allows the system's EFI
    memory map to be updated with additional attributes for specific
    memory ranges. This is useful for testing the kernel code that handles
    the EFI_MEMORY_MORE_RELIABLE memmap bit even if your firmware
    doesn't include support. (Taku Izumi)

Note: there is a semantic conflict between the following two commits:

  8a53554e12e9 ("x86/efi: Fix multiple GOP device support")
  ae2ee627dc87 ("efifb: Add support for 64-bit frame buffer addresses")

I fixed up the interaction in the merge commit, changing the type of
current_fb_base from u32 to u64.

<title>efifb: Add support for 64-bit frame buffer addresses</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ae2ee627dc87a70910de91b791b3cd0e9c6facdd</id>
<content type='text'>
The EFI Graphics Output Protocol uses 64-bit frame buffer addresses
but these get truncated to 32-bit by the EFI boot stub when storing
the address in the 'lfb_base' field of 'struct screen_info'.

Add a 'ext_lfb_base' field for the upper 32-bits of the frame buffer
address and set VIDEO_TYPE_CAPABILITY_64BIT_BASE when the field is
useable.

It turns out that the reason no one has required this support so far
is that there's actually code in tianocore to "downgrade" PCI
resources that have option ROMs and 64-bit BARS from 64-bit to 32-bit
to cope with legacy option ROMs that can't handle 64-bit addresses.
The upshot is that basically all GOP devices in the wild use a 32-bit
frame buffer address.

Still, it is possible to build firmware that uses a full 64-bit GOP
frame buffer address. Chad did, which led to him reporting this issue.

Add support in anticipation of GOP devices using 64-bit addresses more
widely, and so that efifb works out of the box when that happens.

With this .config: http://busybox.net/~vda/kernel_config,
after uninlining these functions have sizes and callsite counts
as follows:

__OUTPLLP: 61 bytes, 12 callsites
__INPLL:   79 bytes, 150 callsites
__OUTPLL:  82 bytes, 138 callsites
_OUTREGP: 101 bytes, 8 callsites

radeon_pll_errata_after_index_slow: 31 bytes, 11 callsites
radeon_pll_errata_after_data_slow:  91 bytes, 9 callsites

radeon_pll_errata_after_FOO functions are split into two parts:
the inlined part which checks corresponding rinfo-&gt;errata bit,
and out-of-line part which performs workaround magic per se.

Reduction in code size is about 49,500 bytes:
