Artem Bityutskiy 26a4734623 mtd: add 'const' qualifier to a couple of register functions
'mtd_device_parse_register()' and 'parse_mtd_partitions()' functions accept a
an array of character pointers. These functions modify neither the pointers nor
the characters they point to. The characters are actually names of the MTD
parsers.

At the moment, the argument type is 'const char **', which means that only the
names of the parsers are constant. Let's turn the argument type into 'const
char * const *', which means that both names and the pointers which point to
them are constant.

because the only user of this feature is AG-AND. And even though it is
implemented as a generic feature, I prefer to remove it because NAND flashes do

Artem Bityutskiy f7025a43a9 mtd: decommission the NAND museum
The MTD subsystem has its own small museum of ancient NANDs in a form of the
CONFIG_MTD_NAND_MUSEUM_IDS configuration option. The museum contains stone age
NANDs with 256 bytes pages, as well as iron age NANDs with 512 bytes per page
and up to 8MiB page size.

It is with great sorrow that I inform you that the museum is being
decommissioned. The MTD subsystem is out of budget for Kconfig options and
already has too many of them, and there is a general kernel trend to simplify
the configuration menu.

We remove the stone age exhibits along with closing the museum, but some of the
iron age ones are transferred to the regular NAND depot. Namely, only those
which have unique device IDs are transferred, and the ones which have
conflicting device IDs are removed.

Rusty Russell b92021b09d CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX: cleanup.
We have CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX, which three archs define to the string
"_".  But Al Viro broke this in "consolidate cond_syscall and
SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations" (in linux-next), and he's not the first to
do so.

Using CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is awkward, since we usually just want to
prefix it so something.  So various places define helpers which are
defined to nothing if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX isn't set:

1) include/asm-generic/unistd.h defines __SYMBOL_PREFIX.
2) include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h defines VMLINUX_SYMBOL(sym)
3) include/linux/export.h defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
4) include/linux/kernel.h defines SYMBOL_PREFIX (which differs from #7)
5) kernel/modsign_certificate.S defines ASM_SYMBOL(sym)
6) scripts/modpost.c defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX
7) scripts/Makefile.lib defines SYMBOL_PREFIX on the commandline if
   CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set, so that we have a non-string version
   for pasting.

(arch/h8300/include/asm/linkage.h defines SYMBOL_NAME(), too).

Let's solve this properly:
1) No more generic prefix, just CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
2) Make linux/export.h usable from asm.
3) Define VMLINUX_SYMBOL() and VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR().
4) Make everyone use them.

Brian Norris 5bc7c33ca9 mtd: nand: reintroduce NAND_NO_READRDY as NAND_NEED_READRDY
This partially reverts commit 1696e6bc2a
("mtd: nand: kill NAND_NO_READRDY").

In that patch I overlooked a few things.

The original documentation for NAND_NO_READRDY included "True for all
large page devices, as they do not support autoincrement." I was
conflating "not support autoincrement" with the NAND_NO_AUTOINCR option,
which was in fact doing nothing. So, when I dropped NAND_NO_AUTOINCR, I
concluded that I then could harmlessly drop NAND_NO_READRDY. But of
course the fact the NAND_NO_AUTOINCR was doing nothing didn't mean
NAND_NO_READRDY was doing nothing...

So, NAND_NO_READRDY is re-introduced as NAND_NEED_READRDY and applied
only to those few remaining small-page NAND which needed it in the first
place.

Eric W. Biederman 7f78e03513 fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules.
Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
to match.

A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.

Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
making things safer with no real cost.

Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
with blacklist and alias directives.  Allowing simple, safe,
well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.

This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
would not work.  While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
cases.  The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
autofs4.

This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.

After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
module.  The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
without regards to the users permissions.  In general all a filesystem
module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted.  In a user
namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
which most filesystems do not set today.

Linus Torvalds aebb2afd54 Merge branch 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus
Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:

 o Add basic support for the Mediatek/Ralink Wireless SoC family.

 o The Qualcomm Atheros platform is extended by support for the new
   QCA955X SoC series as well as a bunch of patches that get the code
   ready for OF support.

 o Lantiq and BCM47XX platform have a few improvements and bug fixes.

 o MIPS has sent a few patches that get the kernel ready for the
   upcoming microMIPS support.

 o The rest of the series is made up of small bug fixes and cleanups
   that relate to various parts of the MIPS code.  The biggy in there is
   a whitespace cleanup.  After I was sent another set of whitespace
   cleanup patches I decided it was the time to clean the whitespace
   "issues" for once and and that touches many files below arch/mips/.

Fix up silly conflicts, mostly due to whitespace cleanups.

Linus Torvalds 06991c28f3 Driver core patches for 3.9-rc1
Here is the big driver core merge for 3.9-rc1
 
 There are two major series here, both of which touch lots of drivers all
 over the kernel, and will cause you some merge conflicts:
   - add a new function called devm_ioremap_resource() to properly be
     able to check return values.
   - remove CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
 
 If you need me to provide a merged tree to handle these resolutions,
 please let me know.
 
 Other than those patches, there's not much here, some minor fixes and
 updates.

 "Here is the big driver core merge for 3.9-rc1

  There are two major series here, both of which touch lots of drivers
  all over the kernel, and will cause you some merge conflicts:

   - add a new function called devm_ioremap_resource() to properly be
     able to check return values.

   - remove CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL

  Other than those patches, there's not much here, some minor fixes and
  updates"

    The ECC data chunk is less then 1K bytes.

In mx23/mx28, the ecc data chunk is 512 bytes. So it is okay.

But in mx6q, we begin to use some large nand chip whose ecc
data chunk maybe 1K bytes long.  So when the data chunk is 1K bytes,
we have to use the GF14.

This patch sets the Golois Field bit when the GF14 is needed.

Stefan Roese 1648eaaa15 mtd: cfi_cmdset_0002: Support Persistent Protection Bits (PPB) locking
Currently cfi_cmdset_0002.c does not support PPB locking of sectors. This
patch adds support for this locking/unlocking mechanism. It is needed on
some platforms, since newer U-Boot versions do support this PPB locking
and protect for example their environment sector(s) this way.

This PPB locking/unlocking will be enabled for all devices supported by
cfi_cmdset_0002 reporting 8 in the CFI word 0x49 (Sector Protect/Unprotect
scheme).

Please note that PPB locking does support sector-by-sector locking. But
the whole chip can only be unlocked together. So unlocking one sector
will automatically unlock all sectors of this device. Because of this
chip limitation, the PPB unlocking function saves the current locking
status of all sectors before unlocking the whole device. After unlocking
the saved locking status is re-configured. This way only the addressed
sectors will be unlocked.

To selectively enable this advanced sector protection mechanism, the
device-tree property "use-advanced-sector-protection" has been created.
To enable support for this locking this property needs to be present in the
flash DT node. E.g.:

nor_flash@0,0 {
	compatible = "amd,s29gl256n", "cfi-flash";
	bank-width = <2>;
	use-advanced-sector-protection;
	...

Tested with Spansion S29GL512S10THI and Micron JS28F512M29EWx flash
devices.

Philip Avinash 62116e5171 mtd: nand: omap2: Support for hardware BCH error correction.
ELM module can be used for hardware error correction of BCH 4 & 8 bit.
ELM module functionality is verified by checking the availability of
handle for ELM module in device tree. Hence supporting
1. ELM module available, BCH error correction done by ELM module. Also
support read & write page in one shot by adding custom read_page and
write_page methods. This helps in optimizing code for NAND flashes with
page size less than 4 KB.
2. If ELM module not available fall back to software BCH error
correction support.

New structure member is added to omap_nand_info
1. "is_elm_used" to know the status of whether the ELM module is used for
   error correction or not.
2. "elm_dev" device pointer to elm device on detection of ELM module.

Also being here update the device tree documentation of gpmc-nand for
adding optional property elm_id.

Note:
ECC layout uses 1 extra bytes for 512 byte of data to handle erased
pages. Extra byte programmed to zero for programmed pages. Also BCH8
requires 14 byte ecc to maintain compatibility with RBL ECC layout.
This results a common ecc layout across RBL, U-boot & Linux with BCH8.

Christopher Cordahi ea8b8e27fe mtd: cmdlinepart: describe mtd ordering
The mtd documentation makes no mention of the useful feature whereby
partitions' logical ordering need not match their physical ordering.
Truncation of parts, skipping of zero sized parts, and handling of
overlapping parts are similarly not mentioned.

This updates the comments at the top of file describing the command
line parsing as currently implemented.   I proposed this in
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2012-December/045314.html
