Eli Billauer 7051924f77 xillybus: Move out of staging
This driver has been functional and stable throughout the year it has spent
in the staging area. It has been patched for minor bugs, coding style issues
and improvements during this period.

This is the second submission of this move-out, after making several style
improvements, as suggested by Dan Carpenter.

Greg Kroah-Hartman a4102f90e8 staging: remove nokia_hp4p driver
The Bluetooth maintainer has been complaining about it for a while, and
I shouldn't have merged it over his objections.  There also has been no
real work done on it at all to get it out of the staging tree, so just
delete the code for now.

If someone wants to get this fixed up properly, feel free to revert this
commit and send the revert, along with cleanups and we will be glad to
consider it.

It doesn't have a maintainer anymore, and most of the people who've
worked on it have moved on. There's also still a long list of issues in

Magnus Damm 382063d91e staging: board: Initial board staging support
Add staging board base support to allow continuous upstream
in-tree development and integration of platform devices.

Helps developers integrate devices as platform devices for
device drivers that only provide platform device bindings.
This in turn allows for incremental development of both
hardware feature support and DT binding work in parallel.

Two separate pieces of board staging functionality is
provided to ease per-board staging board support:
 - The board_staging() macro allows easy per-board callbacks
 - The board_staging_dt_node_available() provides DT node checking

Tested on the KZM9D board with the emxx_udc staging driver.

Add the emxx_udc driver to staging based on an old linux-2.6.35.7

but it is still in great need of cleanup.

At this point DT bindings are clearly lacking and I doubt that the

Minchan Kim cd67e10ac6 zram: promote zram from staging
Zram has lived in staging for a LONG LONG time and have been
fixed/improved by many contributors so code is clean and stable now.  Of
course, there are lots of product using zram in real practice.

The major TV companys have used zram as swap since two years ago and
recently our production team released android smart phone with zram
which is used as swap, too and recently Android Kitkat start to use zram
for small memory smart phone.  And there was a report Google released
their ChromeOS with zram, too and cyanogenmod have been used zram long
time ago.  And I heard some disto have used zram block device for tmpfs.
In addition, I saw many report from many other peoples.  For example,
Lubuntu start to use it.

The benefit of zram is very clear.  With my experience, one of the
benefit was to remove jitter of video application with backgroud memory
pressure.  It would be effect of efficient memory usage by compression
but more issue is whether swap is there or not in the system.  Recent
mobile platforms have used JAVA so there are many anonymous pages.  But
embedded system normally are reluctant to use eMMC or SDCard as swap
because there is wear-leveling and latency issues so if we do not use
swap, it means we can't reclaim anoymous pages and at last, we could
encounter OOM kill.  :(

Although we have real storage as swap, it was a problem, too.  Because
it sometime ends up making system very unresponsible caused by slow swap
storage performance.

Quote from Luigi on Google
 "Since Chrome OS was mentioned: the main reason why we don't use swap
  to a disk (rotating or SSD) is because it doesn't degrade gracefully
  and leads to a bad interactive experience.  Generally we prefer to
  manage RAM at a higher level, by transparently killing and restarting
  processes.  But we noticed that zram is fast enough to be competitive
  with the latter, and it lets us make more efficient use of the
  available RAM.  " and he announced.
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg57717.html

Other uses case is to use zram for block device.  Zram is block device
so anyone can format the block device and mount on it so some guys on
the internet start zram as /var/tmp.
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-838198-start-0.html

Let's promote zram and enhance/maintain it instead of removing.

Minchan Kim bcf1647d08 zsmalloc: move it under mm
This patch moves zsmalloc under mm directory.

Before that, description will explain why we have needed custom
allocator.

Zsmalloc is a new slab-based memory allocator for storing compressed
pages.  It is designed for low fragmentation and high allocation success
rate on large object, but <= PAGE_SIZE allocations.

zsmalloc differs from the kernel slab allocator in two primary ways to
achieve these design goals.

zsmalloc never requires high order page allocations to back slabs, or
"size classes" in zsmalloc terms.  Instead it allows multiple
single-order pages to be stitched together into a "zspage" which backs
the slab.  This allows for higher allocation success rate under memory
pressure.

Also, zsmalloc allows objects to span page boundaries within the zspage.
This allows for lower fragmentation than could be had with the kernel
slab allocator for objects between PAGE_SIZE/2 and PAGE_SIZE.  With the
kernel slab allocator, if a page compresses to 60% of it original size,
the memory savings gained through compression is lost in fragmentation
because another object of the same size can't be stored in the leftover
space.

This ability to span pages results in zsmalloc allocations not being
directly addressable by the user.  The user is given an
non-dereferencable handle in response to an allocation request.  That
handle must be mapped, using zs_map_object(), which returns a pointer to
the mapped region that can be used.  The mapping is necessary since the
object data may reside in two different noncontigious pages.

The zsmalloc fulfills the allocation needs for zram perfectly

Paul Zimmerman 197ba5f406 Move DWC2 driver out of staging
The DWC2 driver should now be in good enough shape to move out of
staging. I have stress tested it overnight on RPI running mass
storage and Ethernet transfers in parallel, and for several days
on our proprietary PCI-based platform.

Greg Kroah-Hartman 99ec297ad6 staging: btmtk_usb: remove driver
No one seems to be working on it anymore, and it really should be merged
into the already-existing btusb driver.  Also, there is not any proper
author attribution on the code (it was copied from the in-kernel
driver...)

If someone wants to pick this back up, we can easily revert this, but
for now, delete the driver.

Micky Ching fa590c222f staging: rts5208: add support for rts5208 and rts5288
There are still many rts5208/5288 card readers being used, but no
drivers are supported them in kernel now. This driver can make a
great convenience for people who use them.

Many other rts-series card reader are supported by mfd driver, but due
to much difference with others, rts5208/5288 can not add into mfd driver
pretty now, so we provide a separated driver here to support the device.

Greg Kroah-Hartman 365aa51e11 staging: ktap: remove code from tree
ktap should be merged through the "proper" place in the kernel tree, in
the perf tool, not as a stand-alone kernel module in staging.  So remove
it from here for now so that it can be merged correctly later.

Jovi Zhangwei c63a164271 staging: ktap: add to the kernel tree
This patch introduces ktap to staging tree.

ktap is a new script-based dynamic tracing tool for Linux,
it uses a scripting language and lets users trace the
Linux kernel dynamically. ktap is designed to give
operational insights with interoperability that allow
users to tune, troubleshoot and extend kernel and application.
It's similar with Linux Systemtap and Solaris Dtrace.

ktap have different design principles from Linux mainstream
dynamic tracing language in that it's based on bytecode,
so it doesn't depend upon GCC, doesn't require compiling
kernel module for each script, safe to use in production
environment, fulfilling the embedded ecosystem's tracing needs.

See ktap tutorial for more information:
    http://www.ktap.org/doc/tutorial.html

The merit of putting this software in staging tree is
to make it more possible to get feedback from users
and thus polish the code.

Eli Billauer 48bae05074 staging: New driver: Xillybus generic interface for FPGA
This is the driver for Xillybus, which is a general-purpose interface for
data communication with FPGAs (programmable logic). Please refer to the
README included in this patch for a detailed explanation.

It was previously submitted for misc-devices, but it appears like noone's
willing to review the code (which I can understand, given its magnitude).
Hence submitted as a staging driver.
