<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.

 "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/"

Pull DMA mapping updates from Christoph Hellwig:
 "A huge update this time, but a lot of that is just consolidating or
  removing code:

   - provide a common DMA_MAPPING_ERROR definition and avoid indirect
     calls for dma_map_* error checking

   - use direct calls for the DMA direct mapping case, avoiding huge
     retpoline overhead for high performance workloads

   - merge the swiotlb dma_map_ops into dma-direct

   - provide a generic remapping DMA consistent allocator for
     architectures that have devices that perform DMA that is not cache
     coherent. Based on the existing arm64 implementation and also used
     for csky now.

   - improve the dma-debug infrastructure, including dynamic allocation
     of entries (Robin Murphy)

   - default to providing chaining scatterlist everywhere, with opt-outs
     for the few architectures (alpha, parisc, most arm32 variants) that
     can't cope with it

   - misc sparc32 dma-related cleanups

   - remove the dma_mark_clean arch hook used by swiotlb on ia64 and
     replace it with the generic noncoherent infrastructure

   - fix the return type of dma_set_max_seg_size (Niklas Söderlund)

   - move the dummy dma ops for not DMA capable devices from arm64 to
     common code (Robin Murphy)

   - ensure dma_alloc_coherent returns zeroed memory to avoid kernel
     data leaks through userspace. We already did this for most common
     architectures, but this ensures we do it everywhere.
     dma_zalloc_coherent has been deprecated and can hopefully be
     removed after -rc1 with a coccinelle script"

<content type='text'>
Convert string compares of DT node names to use of_node_name_eq helper
instead. This removes direct access to the node name pointer.

A couple of open coded iterating thru the child node names are converted
to use for_each_child_of_node() instead.

System call table generation script must be run to gener-
ate unistd_32/64.h and syscall_table_32/64/c32/spu.h files.
This patch will have changes which will invokes the script.

This patch will generate unistd_32/64.h and syscall_table-
_32/64/c32/spu.h files by the syscall table generation
script invoked by parisc/Makefile and the generated files
against the removed files must be identical.

The generated uapi header file will be included in uapi/-
asm/unistd.h and generated system call table header file
will be included by kernel/systbl.S file.

The powerpc iommu code already returns (~(dma_addr_t)0x0) on mapping
failures, so we can switch over to returning DMA_MAPPING_ERROR and let
the core dma-mapping code handle the rest.

Remove directly accessing device_node.type pointer and use the
accessors instead. This will eventually allow removing the type
pointer.

Replace the open coded iterating over child nodes with
for_each_child_of_node() while we're here.

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.
