Most of the prom_free_prom_memory functions are empty. With
a new weak prom_free_prom_memory() we can remove all of them.

add_memory_region was the old interface for registering memory and
was already changed to used memblock internaly. Replace it by
directly calling memblock functions.

Instead of including all Platform files, we simply include the

<title>Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function</title>

<id>urn:sha1:96d4f267e40f9509e8a66e2b39e8b95655617693</id>
<content type='text'>
Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

Pull Kconfig file consolidation from Masahiro Yamada:
 "Consolidation of bus (PCI, PCMCIA, EISA, RapidIO) config entries by
  Christoph Hellwig.

  Currently, every architecture that wants to provide common peripheral
  busses needs to add some boilerplate code and include the right
  Kconfig files. This series instead just selects the presence (when
  needed) and then handles everything in the bus-specific Kconfig file
  under drivers/"

  pcmcia: remove per-arch PCMCIA config entry

There is no good reason to duplicate the PCI menu in every architecture.
Instead provide a selectable HAVE_PCI symbol that indicates availability
of PCI support, and a FORCE_PCI symbol to for PCI on and the handle the
rest in drivers/pci.

<title>MIPS: SiByte: Enable swiotlb for SWARM, LittleSur and BigSur</title>
<updated>2018-11-15T18:58:01Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Maciej W. Rozycki</name>
</author>
<published>2018-11-13T22:42:44Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=e4849aff1e169b86c561738daf8ff020e9de1011'/>
<id>urn:sha1:e4849aff1e169b86c561738daf8ff020e9de1011</id>
<content type='text'>
The Broadcom SiByte BCM1250, BCM1125, and BCM1125H SOCs have an onchip
DRAM controller that supports memory amounts of up to 16GiB, and due to
how the address decoder has been wired in the SOC any memory beyond 1GiB
is actually mapped starting from 4GiB physical up, that is beyond the
32-bit addressable limit[1].  Consequently if the maximum amount of
memory has been installed, then it will span up to 19GiB.

Many of the evaluation boards we support that are based on one of these
SOCs have their memory soldered and the amount present fits in the
32-bit address range.  The BCM91250A SWARM board however has actual DIMM
slots and accepts, depending on the peripherals revision of the SOC, up
to 4GiB or 8GiB of memory in commercially available JEDEC modules[2].
I believe this is also the case with the BCM91250C2 LittleSur board.
This means that up to either 3GiB or 7GiB of memory requires 64-bit
addressing to access.

I believe the BCM91480B BigSur board, which has the BCM1480 SOC instead,
accepts at least as much memory, although I have no documentation or
actual hardware available to verify that.

Both systems have PCI slots installed for use by any PCI option boards,
including ones that only support 32-bit addressing (additionally the
32-bit PCI host bridge of the BCM1250, BCM1125, and BCM1125H SOCs limits
addressing to 32-bits), and there is no IOMMU available.  Therefore for
PCI DMA to work in the presence of memory beyond enable swiotlb for the
affected systems.

All the other SOC onchip DMA devices use 40-bit addressing and therefore
can address the whole memory, so only enable swiotlb if PCI support and
support for DMA beyond 4GiB have been both enabled in the configuration
of the kernel.

This shows up as follows:

Broadcom SiByte BCM1250 B2 @ 800 MHz (SB1 rev 2)
Board type: SiByte BCM91250A (SWARM)
Determined physical RAM map:
 memory: 000000000fe7fe00 @ 0000000000000000 (usable)

software IO TLB: mapped [mem 0xcbffc000-0xcfffc000] (64MB)

in the bootstrap log and removes failures like these:

defxx 0000:02:00.0: dma_direct_map_page: overflow 0x0000000185bc6080+4608 of device mask ffffffff bus mask 0

fddi1: Receive buffer allocation failed
fddi1: Adapter open failed!
IP-Config: Failed to open fddi1

when memory beyond 4GiB is handed out to devices that can only do 32-bit
addressing.
