fb09bafda6 Merge tag 'staging-3.5-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging
Pull staging tree changes from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
 "Here is the big staging tree pull request for the 3.5-rc1 merge
  window.

  Loads of changes here, and we just narrowly added more lines than we
  added:
   622 files changed, 28356 insertions(+), 26059 deletions(-)

  But, good news is that there is a number of subsystems that moved out
  of the staging tree, to their respective "real" portions of the
  kernel.

  Code that moved out was:
	- iio core code
	- mei driver
	- vme core and bridge drivers

  There was one broken network driver that moved into staging as a step
  before it is removed from the tree (pc300), and there was a few new
  drivers added to the tree:
	- new iio drivers
	- gdm72xx wimax USB driver
	- ipack subsystem and 2 drivers

  All of the movements around have acks from the various subsystem
  maintainers, and all of this has been in the linux-next tree for a
  while.

Fixed up various trivial conflicts, along with a non-trivial one found
in -next and pointed out by Olof Johanssen: a clean - but incorrect -
merge of the arch/arm/boot/dts/at91sam9g20.dtsi file.  Fix up manually

b4161f0bb5 Support M95040 SPI EEPROM
Updated the generic SPI EEPROM driver AT25 for support of an additional address
bit in the instruction byte. Certain EEPROMS have a size that is larger than the
number of address bytes would allow (e.g. like M95040 from ST that has 512 Byte
size but uses only one address byte (A0 to A7) for addressing.) For the extra
address bit (A8, A16 or A24) bit 3 of the instruction byte is used. This
instruction bit is normally defined as don't care for other AT25 like chips.

  I still need to send a few checkpoint/restore patches.  I've been
  wobbly about merging them because I'm wobbly about the overall
  prospects for success of the project.  But after speaking with Pavel
  at the LSF conference, it sounds like they're further toward
  completion than I feared - apparently davem is at the "has stopped

234e340582 simple_open: automatically convert to simple_open()
Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when
they want to support a custom read/write function op.  This leads to a
proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire
tree.

Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we
can replace all the users of this function with simple_open().

This replacement was done with the following semantic patch:

<smpl>
@ open @
identifier open_f != simple_open;
identifier i, f;

-int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f)
-{

...
-.open = open_f,

3751d3e85c x86,kgdb: Fix DEBUG_RODATA limitation using text_poke()
There has long been a limitation using software breakpoints with a
kernel compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA going back to 2.6.26. For
this particular patch, it will apply cleanly and has been tested all
the way back to 2.6.36.

The kprobes code uses the text_poke() function which accommodates
writing a breakpoint into a read-only page.  The x86 kgdb code can
solve the problem similarly by overriding the default breakpoint
set/remove routines and using text_poke() directly.

The x86 kgdb code will first attempt to use the traditional
probe_kernel_write(), and next try using a the text_poke() function.
The break point install method is tracked such that the correct break
point removal routine will get called later on.

23bbd8e346 kgdbts: (2 of 2) fix single step awareness to work correctly with SMP
The do_fork and sys_open tests have never worked properly on anything
other than a UP configuration with the kgdb test suite.  This is
because the test suite did not fully implement the behavior of a real
debugger.  A real debugger tracks the state of what thread it asked to
single step and can correctly continue other threads of execution or
conditionally stop while waiting for the original thread single step
request to return.

Below is a simple method to cause a fatal kernel oops with the kgdb
test suite on a 2 processor ARM system:

while [ 1 ] ; do ls > /dev/null 2> /dev/null; done&
while [ 1 ] ; do ls > /dev/null 2> /dev/null; done&
echo V1I1F100 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts

Very soon after starting the test the kernel will start warning with
messages like:

kgdbts: BP mismatch c002487c expected c0024878
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: at drivers/misc/kgdbts.c:317 check_and_rewind_pc+0x9c/0xc4()
[<c01f6520>] (check_and_rewind_pc+0x9c/0xc4)
[<c01f595c>] (validate_simple_test+0x3c/0xc4)
[<c01f60d4>] (run_simple_test+0x1e8/0x274)

The kernel will eventually recovers, but the test suite has completely
failed to test anything useful.

This patch implements behavior similar to a real debugger that does
not rely on hardware single stepping by using only software planted
breakpoints.

In order to mimic a real debugger, the kgdb test suite now tracks the
most recent thread that was continued (cont_thread_id), with the
intent to single step just this thread.  When the response to the
single step request stops in a different thread that hit the original
break point that thread will now get continued, while the debugger
waits for the thread with the single step pending.  Here is a high
level description of the sequence of events.

   cont_instead_of_sstep = 0;

1) set breakpoint at do_fork
2) continue
3)   Save the thread id where we stop to cont_thread_id
4) Remove breakpoint at do_fork
5) Reset the PC if needed depending on kernel exception type
6) soft single step
7)   Check where we stopped
       if current thread != cont_thread_id {
           if (here for more than 2 times for the same thead) {
              ### must be a really busy system, start test again ###
	      goto step 1
           }
           goto step 5
       } else {
           cont_instead_of_sstep = 0;
       }
8) clean up and run test again if needed
9) Clear out any threads that were waiting on a break point at the
   point in time the test is ended with get_cont_catch().  This
   happens sometimes because breakpoints are used in place of single
   stepping and some threads could have been in the debugger exception
   handling queue because breakpoints were hit concurrently on
   different CPUs.  This also means we wait at least one second before
   unplumbing the debugger connection at the very end, so as respond
   to any debug threads waiting to be serviced.

486c5987a0 kgdbts: (1 of 2) fix single step awareness to work correctly with SMP
The do_fork and sys_open tests have never worked properly on anything
other than a UP configuration with the kgdb test suite.  This is
because the test suite did not fully implement the behavior of a real
debugger.  A real debugger tracks the state of what thread it asked to
single step and can correctly continue other threads of execution or
conditionally stop while waiting for the original thread single step
request to return.

Below is a simple method to cause a fatal kernel oops with the kgdb
test suite on a 4 processor x86 system:

while [ 1 ] ; do ls > /dev/null 2> /dev/null; done&
while [ 1 ] ; do ls > /dev/null 2> /dev/null; done&
while [ 1 ] ; do ls > /dev/null 2> /dev/null; done&
while [ 1 ] ; do ls > /dev/null 2> /dev/null; done&
echo V1I1F1000 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts

Very soon after starting the test the kernel will oops with a message like:

kgdbts: BP mismatch 3b7da66480 expected ffffffff8106a590
WARNING: at drivers/misc/kgdbts.c:303 check_and_rewind_pc+0xe0/0x100()

 [<ffffffff81298f77>] run_simple_test+0x107/0x2c0
 [<ffffffff81298a18>] kgdbts_put_char+0x18/0x20

The warn will turn to a hard kernel crash shortly after that because
the pc will not get properly rewound to the right value after hitting
a breakpoint leading to a hard lockup.

This change is broken up into 2 pieces because archs that have hw
single stepping (2.6.26 and up) need different changes than archs that
do not have hw single stepping (3.0 and up).  This change implements
the correct behavior for an arch that supports hw single stepping.

A minor defect was fixed where sys_open should be do_sys_open
for the sys_open break point test.  This solves the problem of running
a 64 bit with a 32 bit user space.  The sys_open() never gets called
when using the 32 bit file system for the kgdb testsuite because the
32 bit binaries invoke the compat_sys_open() call leading to the test
never completing.

In order to mimic a real debugger, the kgdb test suite now tracks the
most recent thread that was continued (cont_thread_id), with the
intent to single step just this thread.  When the response to the
single step request stops in a different thread that hit the original
break point that thread will now get continued, while the debugger
waits for the thread with the single step pending.  Here is a high
level description of the sequence of events.

   cont_instead_of_sstep = 0;

1) set breakpoint at do_fork
2) continue
3)   Save the thread id where we stop to cont_thread_id
4) Remove breakpoint at do_fork
5) Reset the PC if needed depending on kernel exception type
6) if (cont_instead_of_sstep) { continue } else { single step }
7)   Check where we stopped
       if current thread != cont_thread_id {
           cont_instead_of_sstep = 1;
           goto step 5
       } else {
           cont_instead_of_sstep = 0;
       }
8) clean up and run test again if needed

456ca7ff24 kgdbts: Fix kernel oops with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA
On x86 the kgdb test suite will oops when the kernel is compiled with
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA and you run the tests after boot time. This is
regression has existed since 2.6.26 by commit: b33cb815 (kgdbts: Use
HW breakpoints with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA).

The test suite can use hw breakpoints for all the tests, but it has to
execute the hardware breakpoint specific tests first in order to
determine that the hw breakpoints actually work.  Specifically the
very first test causes an oops:

# echo V1I1 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts
kgdb: Registered I/O driver kgdbts.
kgdbts:RUN plant and detach test

Entering kdb (current=0xffff880017aa9320, pid 1078) on processor 0 due to Keyboard Entry
[0]kdb> kgdbts: ERROR PUT: end of test buffer on 'plant_and_detach_test' line 1 expected OK got $E14#aa
WARNING: at drivers/misc/kgdbts.c:730 run_simple_test+0x151/0x2c0()
[...oops clipped...]

This commit re-orders the running of the tests and puts the RODATA
check into its own function so as to correctly avoid the kernel oops
by detecting and using the hw breakpoints.
