90fa028055 uio_pdrv_genirq: convert to use device_property APIs
Convert the uio_pdrv_genirq driver to use the device_property_* APIs
instead of the of_property_* ones. This allows UIO interrupts to be
defined via an ACPI overlay using the Device Tree namespace linkage.

415abcdfd4 uio: disable lazy irq disable to avoid double fire
uio_pdrv_genirq and uio_dmem_genirq interrupts are handled in
userspace. So the condition for the interrupt hasn't normally not been
cleared when top half returns. disable_irq_nosync is called in top half,
but since that normally is lazy the irq isn't actually disabled.

For level triggered interrupts this will always result in a spurious
additional fire since the level in to the interrupt controller still is
active. The actual interrupt handler isn't run though since this
spurious irq is just recorded, and later on discared (for level).

This commit disables lazy masking for level triggered interrupts. It
leaves edge triggered interrupts as before, because they work with the
lazy scheme.

All other UIO drivers already seem to clear the interrupt cause at
driver levels.

Example of double fire. First goes all the way up to
uio_pdrv_genirq_handler, second is terminated in handle_fasteoi_irq and
marked as pending.

7aca462b13 uio_pdrv_genirq: Allow use with non-page-aligned memory resources
Similar to the changes made in 270579d95f ("uio_mf624: Align memory
regions to page size and set correct offsets"), this will allow
uio_pdrv_genirq devices to expose memory regions that is not page-aligned,
requiring the users to respect the offset sysfs attribute (as implemented
in libuio).

bf12fdf0ab uio_pdrv_genirq: fix use without device tree and no interrupt
While e3a3c3a205 ("UIO: fix uio_pdrv_genirq with device tree but no
interrupt") added support for using uio_pdrv_genirq for devices without
interrupt for device tree platforms, the removal of uio_pdrv in
26dac3c49d ("uio: Remove uio_pdrv and use uio_pdrv_genirq instead")
broke the support for non device tree platforms.

This change fixes this, so that uio_pdrv_genirq can be used without
interrupt on all platforms.

This still leaves the support that uio_pdrv had for custom interrupt
handler lacking, as uio_pdrv_genirq does not handle it (yet).

Since e3a3c3a205 ("UIO: fix uio_pdrv_genirq with device tree but no

b0297622a9 uio: uio_pdrv_genirq: Make UIO name controllable via DT node property
When probed via DT, the uio_pdrv_genirq driver currently uses the name
of the node and exposes that as name of the UIO device to userspace.

This doesn't work for systems where multiple nodes with the same name
(but different unit addresses) are present, or for systems where the
node names are auto-generated by a third-party tool.

This patch adds the possibility to read the UIO name from the optional
"linux,uio-name" property.

In a SMP case there was a race condition issue between
uio_pdrv_genirq_irqcontrol() running on one CPU and irq handler on
another CPU. Fix it by spin_locking shared resources access inside irq
handler.  Also:
  - Change disable_irq to disable_irq_nosync to avoid deadlock, because
    disable_irq waits for the completion of the irq handler;
  - Change atomic bit-manipulation routines to their non-atomic
    counterparts as we already are guarding the code by spinlock.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

e543ae8966 UIO: uio_pdrv_genirq: allow custom irq_flags
I can't think of a reason why the driver prevents people from setting any
custom bits in their platform device, but I can think of some reasons for
allowing custom flags.  Like setting the IRQF_TRIGGER_... bits.

c767db0ab4 UIO: generic irq handling for some uio platform devices
This is V3 of uio_pdrv_genirq.c, a platform driver for UIO with
generic IRQ handling code. This driver is very similar to the regular
UIO platform driver, but is only suitable for devices that are
connected to the interrupt controller using unique interrupt lines.

The uio_pdrv_genirq driver includes generic interrupt handling code
which disables the serviced interrupt in the interrupt controller
and makes the user space driver responsible for acknowledging the
interrupt in the device and reenabling the interrupt in the interrupt
controller.

Shared interrupts are not supported since the in-kernel interrupt
handler will disable the interrupt line in the interrupt controller,
and in a shared interrupt configuration this will stop other devices
from delivering interrupts.
