As we've enabled multiplatform kernels on ARM, and greatly done away with
the contents under arch/arm/mach-*, there's still need for SoC-related
drivers to go somewhere.
Many of them go in through other driver trees, but we still have
drivers/soc to hold some of the "doesn't fit anywhere" lowlevel code
that might be shared between ARM and ARM64 (or just in general makes
sense to not have under the architecture directory).
This branch contains mostly such code:
- Drivers for qualcomm SoCs for SMEM, SMD and SMD-RPM, used to communicate
with power management blocks on these SoCs for use by clock, regulator and
bus frequency drivers.
- Allwinner Reduced Serial Bus driver, again used to communicate with PMICs.
- Drivers for ARM's SCPI (System Control Processor). Not to be confused with
PSCI (Power State Coordination Interface). SCPI is used to communicate with
the assistant embedded cores doing power management, and we have yet to see
how many of them will implement this for their hardware vs abstracting in
other ways (or not at all like in the past).
- To make confusion between SCPI and PSCI more likely, this release also
includes an update of PSCI to interface version 1.0.
- Rockchip support for power domains.
- A driver to talk to the firmware on Raspberry Pi.

__GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and
could not sleep. Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic
context and callers that are not willing to sleep. The latter should
clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake. As clearing
__GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the
wrong flags. This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly
indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing
them prevents it.

This change adds functionality to operate on reserved SRAM partitions
described in device tree file. Two partition properties are added,
"pool" and "export", the first one allows to share a specific partition
for usage by a kernel consumer in the same manner as it is done for
the whole SRAM device, and "export" property provides access to some
SRAM area from userspace over sysfs interface. Practically it is
possible to specify both properties for an SRAM partition, however
simultaneous access from a kernel consumer and from userspace is not
serialized, but still the combination may be useful for debugging
purpose.
The change opens the following scenarios of SRAM usage:
* updates in a particular SRAM area specified by offset and size are
done by bootloader, then this information is utilized by the kernel,
* a particular SRAM area is rw accessed from userspace, the stored
data is persistent on soft reboots,
* a device driver secures SRAM area for its purposes,
* etc.
Note, strictly speaking the added optional properties describe policy
of SRAM usage, rather than hardware, but here the policy mostly
resembles flash partitions in devicetree, which is undoubtedly
a very popular option but it does not describe hardware.

The scheduled process area is currently allocated before assigning the
correct maximum processes to the AFU, which will mean we only ever
allocate a fixed number of pages for the scheduled process area. This
will limit us to 958 processes with 2 x 64K pages. If we try to use more
processes than that we'd probably overrun the buffer and corrupt memory
or crash.
AFUs that require three or more interrupts per process will not be
affected as they are already limited to less processes than that, but we
could hit it on an AFU that requires 0, 1 or 2 interrupts per process,
or when using 4K pages.
This patch moves the initialisation of the num_procs to before the SPA
allocation so that enough pages will be allocated for the number of
processes that the AFU supports.

hypervisor only:
balloon unballoon
4 KB 2 GB/s 2.6 GB/s
2 MB 54 GB/s 767 GB/s
Use 2 MB pages as the hypervisor is alwys 64bit and 2 MB is the smallest
supported super-page size.
The code has to run on older versions of ESX and old balloon drivers run on
newer version of ESX. Hence match the capabilities with the host before 2m

When VMware's hypervisor requests a VM to reclaim memory this is preferrably done
via ballooning. If the balloon driver does not return memory fast enough, more
drastic methods, such as hypervisor-level swapping are needed. These other methods
cause performance issues, e.g. hypervisor-level swapping requires the hypervisor to
swap in a page syncronously while the virtual CPU is blocked.
Hence it is in the interest of the VM to balloon memory as fast as possible. The
problem with doing this is that the VM might end up doing nothing else than
ballooning and the user might notice that the VM is stalled, esp. when the VM has
only a single virtual CPU.
This is less of a problem if the VM and the hypervisor perform balloon operations
faster. Also the balloon driver yields regularly, hence on a single virtual CPU
the Linux scheduler should be able to properly time-slice between ballooning and
other tasks.
Testing Done: quickly ballooned a lot of pages while wathing if there are any
perceived hickups (periods of non-responsiveness) in the execution of the
linux VM. No such hickups were seen.

This patch implements the fence APIs required to synchronize
DMAs. SCIF provides an interface to return a "mark" for all DMAs
programmed at the instant the API was called. Users can then "wait" on
the mark provided previously by blocking inside the kernel. Upon
receipt of a DMA completion interrupt the waiting thread is woken
up. There is also an interface to signal DMA completion by polling for
a location to be updated via a "signal" cookie to avoid the interrupt
overhead in the mark/wait interface. SCIF allows programming fences on
both the local and the remote node for both the mark/wait or the fence
signal APIs.

SCIF allows users to read from or write to registered remote memory
via CPU copies or DMA. The API verifies that both local and remote
windows are valid before initiating the CPU or DMA transfers. SCIF has
optimized algorithms for handling byte aligned as well as cache line
aligned DMA engines. A registration cache is maintained to avoid the
overhead of pinning pages repeatedly if buffers are reused. The
registration cache is invalidated upon receipt of MMU notifier
callbacks. SCIF windows are destroyed and the pages are unpinned only
once all prior DMAs initiated using that window are drained. Users can
request synchronous DMA operations as well as tail byte ordering if
required. CPU copies are always performed synchronously.
