Merge Andrew's first set of patches: "Non-MM patches: - lots of misc bits - tree-wide have_clk() cleanups - quite a lot of printk tweaks.

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle: "More hardware support across the field including a bunch of device drivers. The highlight however really are further steps towards device tree. This has been sitting in -next for ages.

of/lib: Allow scripts/dtc/libfdt to be used from kernel code

2012-07-23T12:54:52Z

libfdt is part of the device tree support in scripts/dtc/libfdt. For some platforms that use the Device Tree, we want to be able to edit the flattened device tree form. We don't want to burden kernel builds that do not require it, so we gate compilation of libfdt files with CONFIG_LIBFDT. So if it is needed, you need to do this in your Kconfig: select LIBFDT And in the Makefile of the code using libfdt something like: ccflags-y := -I$(src)/../../../scripts/dtc/libfdt Signed-off-by: David Daney Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: devicetree-discuss@lists.ozlabs.org Cc: Grant Likely Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Acked-by: Rob Herring Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

Merge commit 'v3.5-rc2' into next

Merge branch 'generic-string-functions'

2012-05-26T23:57:16Z

This makes actually live up to its promise of allowing architectures to help tune the string functions that do their work a word at a time. David had already taken the x86 strncpy_from_user() function, modified it to work on sparc, and then done the extra work to make it generically useful. This then expands on that work by making x86 use that generic version, completing the circle. But more importantly, it fixes up the word-at-a-time interfaces so that it's now easy to also support things like strnlen_user(), and pretty much most random string functions. David reports that it all works fine on sparc, and Jonas Bonn reported that an earlier version of this worked on OpenRISC too. It's pretty easy for architectures to add support for this and just replace their private versions with the generic code. * generic-string-functions: sparc: use the new generic strnlen_user() function x86: use the new generic strnlen_user() function lib: add generic strnlen_user() function word-at-a-time: make the interfaces truly generic x86: use generic strncpy_from_user routine

Pull arm-soc stmp-dev library code from Olof Johansson: "A number of devices are using a common register layout, this adds support code for it in lib/stmp_device.c so we do not need to duplicate it in each driver." Fix up trivial conflicts in drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-mxs.c and lib/Makefile * tag 'stmp-dev' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: i2c: mxs: use global reset function lib: add support for stmp-style devices

lib: add generic strnlen_user() function

2012-05-26T18:33:53Z

This adds a new generic optimized strnlen_user() function that uses the infrastructure to portably do efficient string handling. In many ways, strnlen is much simpler than strncpy, and in particular we can always pre-align the words we load from memory. That means that all the worries about alignment etc are a non-issue, so this one can easily be used on any architecture. You obviously do have to do the appropriate word-at-a-time.h macros.

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/sparc

2012-05-24T22:10:28Z

Pull sparc changes from David S. Miller: "This has the generic strncpy_from_user() implementation architectures can now use, which we've been developing on linux-arch over the past few days. For good measure I ran both a 32-bit and a 64-bit glibc testsuite run, and the latter of which pointed out an adjustment I needed to make to sparc's user_addr_max() definition. Linus, you were right, STACK_TOP was not the right thing to use, even on sparc itself :-) From Sam Ravnborg, we have a conversion of sparc32 over to the common alloc_thread_info_node(), since the aspect which originally blocked our doing so (sun4c) has been removed."
