c365e59d47 backlight: lp855x: remove duplicate platform data
The 'load_new_rom_data' was used for checking whether new ROM data should
be updated or not.

However, we can decide it with 'size_program' data.  If the size is
greater than 0, it means updating ROM area is required.  Otherwise, the
default ROM data will be used.  Therefore, this duplicate platform data
can be removed.

0b81857339 backlight: lp855x: move backlight mode platform data
The brightness of LP855x devices is controlled by I2C register or PWM
input .  This mode was selected through the platform data, but it can be
chosen by the driver internally without platform data configuration.

How to decide the control mode:
  If the PWM period has specific value, the mode is PWM input.
  On the other hand, the mode is register-based.
  This mode selection is done on the _probe().

Move 'mode' from a header file to the driver private data structure,
'lp855 x'.  And correlated code was replaced.

46e1915eef drivers/video/backlight/platform_lcd.c: introduce probe callback
Platform LCD devices may need to do some device-specific initialization
before they can be used (regulator or GPIO setup, for example), but
currently the driver does not support any way of doing this.  This patch
adds a probe() callback to plat_lcd_data which platform LCD devices can
set to indicate that device-specific initialization is needed.

9375db07ad genalloc: add devres support, allow to find a managed pool by device
This patch adds three exported functions to lib/genalloc.c:
devm_gen_pool_create, dev_get_gen_pool, and of_get_named_gen_pool.

devm_gen_pool_create is a managed version of gen_pool_create that keeps
track of the pool via devres and allows the management code to
automatically destroy it after device removal.

dev_get_gen_pool retrieves the gen_pool for a given device, if it was
created with devm_gen_pool_create, using devres_find.

of_get_named_gen_pool retrieves the gen_pool for a given device node and
property name, where the property must contain a phandle pointing to a
platform device node.  The corresponding platform device is then fed into
dev_get_gen_pool and the resulting gen_pool is returned.

5bc7b8aca9 mm: thp: add split tail pages to shrink page list in page reclaim
In page reclaim, huge page is split.  split_huge_page() adds tail pages
to LRU list.  Since we are reclaiming a huge page, it's better we
reclaim all subpages of the huge page instead of just the head page.
This patch adds split tail pages to shrink page list so the tail pages
can be reclaimed soon.

Before this patch, run a swap workload:
  thp_fault_alloc 3492
  thp_fault_fallback 608
  thp_collapse_alloc 6
  thp_collapse_alloc_failed 0
  thp_split 916

With this patch:
  thp_fault_alloc 4085
  thp_fault_fallback 16
  thp_collapse_alloc 90
  thp_collapse_alloc_failed 0
  thp_split 1272

fallback allocation is reduced a lot.

1eec6702a8 mm: allow for outstanding swap writeback accounting
To prevent flooding the swap device with writebacks, frontswap backends
need to count and limit the number of outstanding writebacks.  The
incrementing of the counter can be done before the call to
__swap_writepage().  However, the caller must receive a notification
when the writeback completes in order to decrement the counter.

To achieve this functionality, this patch modifies __swap_writepage() to
take the bio completion callback function as an argument.

end_swap_bio_write(), the normal bio completion function, is also made
non-static so that code doing the accounting can call it after the
accounting is done.

There should be no behavioural change to existing code.

2f772e6cad mm: break up swap_writepage() for frontswap backends
swap_writepage() is currently where frontswap hooks into the swap write
path to capture pages with the frontswap_store() function.  However, if
a frontswap backend wants to "resume" the writeback of a page to the
swap device, it can't call swap_writepage() as the page will simply
reenter the backend.

This patch separates swap_writepage() into a top and bottom half, the
bottom half named __swap_writepage() to allow a frontswap backend, like
zswap, to resume writeback beyond the frontswap_store() hook.

__add_to_swap_cache() is also made non-static so that the page for which
writeback is to be resumed can be added to the swap cache.

70ddf637ee memcg: add memory.pressure_level events
With this patch userland applications that want to maintain the
interactivity/memory allocation cost can use the pressure level
notifications.  The levels are defined like this:

The "low" level means that the system is reclaiming memory for new
allocations.  Monitoring this reclaiming activity might be useful for
maintaining cache level.  Upon notification, the program (typically
"Activity Manager") might analyze vmstat and act in advance (i.e.
prematurely shutdown unimportant services).

The "medium" level means that the system is experiencing medium memory
pressure, the system might be making swap, paging out active file
caches, etc.  Upon this event applications may decide to further analyze
vmstat/zoneinfo/memcg or internal memory usage statistics and free any
resources that can be easily reconstructed or re-read from a disk.

The "critical" level means that the system is actively thrashing, it is
about to out of memory (OOM) or even the in-kernel OOM killer is on its
way to trigger.  Applications should do whatever they can to help the
system.  It might be too late to consult with vmstat or any other
statistics, so it's advisable to take an immediate action.

The events are propagated upward until the event is handled, i.e.  the
events are not pass-through.  Here is what this means: for example you
have three cgroups: A->B->C.  Now you set up an event listener on
cgroups A, B and C, and suppose group C experiences some pressure.  In
this situation, only group C will receive the notification, i.e.  groups
A and B will not receive it.  This is done to avoid excessive
"broadcasting" of messages, which disturbs the system and which is
especially bad if we are low on memory or thrashing.  So, organize the
cgroups wisely, or propagate the events manually (or, ask us to
implement the pass-through events, explaining why would you need them.)

Performance wise, the memory pressure notifications feature itself is
lightweight and does not require much of bookkeeping, in contrast to the
rest of memcg features.  Unfortunately, as of current memcg
implementation, pages accounting is an inseparable part and cannot be
turned off.  The good news is that there are some efforts[1] to improve
the situation; plus, implementing the same, fully API-compatible[2]
interface for CONFIG_MEMCG=n case (e.g.  embedded) is also a viable
option, so it will not require any changes on the userland side.

4edd7ceff0 mm, hotplug: avoid compiling memory hotremove functions when disabled
__remove_pages() is only necessary for CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE.  PowerPC
pseries will return -EOPNOTSUPP if unsupported.

Adding an #ifdef causes several other functions it depends on to also
become unnecessary, which saves in .text when disabled (it's disabled in
most defconfigs besides powerpc, including x86).  remove_memory_block()
becomes static since it is not referenced outside of
drivers/base/memory.c.

Build tested on x86 and powerpc with CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE both enabled
and disabled.

825f787bb4 resource: add release_mem_region_adjustable()
Add release_mem_region_adjustable(), which releases a requested region
from a currently busy memory resource.  This interface adjusts the
matched memory resource accordingly even if the requested region does
not match exactly but still fits into.

This new interface is intended for memory hot-delete.  During bootup,
memory resources are inserted from the boot descriptor table, such as
EFI Memory Table and e820.  Each memory resource entry usually covers
the whole contigous memory range.  Memory hot-delete request, on the
other hand, may target to a particular range of memory resource, and its
size can be much smaller than the whole contiguous memory.  Since the
existing release interfaces like __release_region() require a requested
region to be exactly matched to a resource entry, they do not allow a
partial resource to be released.

This new interface is restrictive (i.e.  release under certain
conditions), which is consistent with other release interfaces,
__release_region() and __release_resource().  Additional release
conditions, such as an overlapping region to a resource entry, can be
supported after they are confirmed as valid cases.

There is no change to the existing interfaces since their restriction is
valid for I/O resources.

4eeab4f558 mm: replace hardcoded 3% with admin_reserve_pages knob
Add an admin_reserve_kbytes knob to allow admins to change the hardcoded
memory reserve to something other than 3%, which may be multiple
gigabytes on large memory systems.  Only about 8MB is necessary to
enable recovery in the default mode, and only a few hundred MB are
required even when overcommit is disabled.

This affects OVERCOMMIT_GUESS and OVERCOMMIT_NEVER.

admin_reserve_kbytes is initialized to min(3% free pages, 8MB)

I arrived at 8MB by summing the RSS of sshd or login, bash, and top.

c9b1d0981f mm: limit growth of 3% hardcoded other user reserve
Add user_reserve_kbytes knob.

Limit the growth of the memory reserved for other user processes to
min(3% current process size, user_reserve_pages).  Only about 8MB is
necessary to enable recovery in the default mode, and only a few hundred
MB are required even when overcommit is disabled.

user_reserve_pages defaults to min(3% free pages, 128MB)

I arrived at 128MB by taking the max VSZ of sshd, login, bash, and top ...
then adding the RSS of each.

This only affects OVERCOMMIT_NEVER mode.

Background

1. user reserve

__vm_enough_memory reserves a hardcoded 3% of the current process size for
other applications when overcommit is disabled.  This was done so that a
user could recover if they launched a memory hogging process.  Without the
reserve, a user would easily run into a message such as:

bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory

2. admin reserve

Additionally, a hardcoded 3% of free memory is reserved for root in both
overcommit 'guess' and 'never' modes.  This was intended to prevent a
scenario where root-cant-log-in and perform recovery operations.

Note that this reserve shrinks, and doesn't guarantee a useful reserve.

Motivation

The two hardcoded memory reserves should be updated to account for current
memory sizes.

Also, the admin reserve would be more useful if it didn't shrink too much.

When the current code was originally written, 1GB was considered
"enterprise".  Now the 3% reserve can grow to multiple GB on large memory
systems, and it only needs to be a few hundred MB at most to enable a user
or admin to recover a system with an unwanted memory hogging process.

I've found that reducing these reserves is especially beneficial for a
specific type of application load:

 * single application system
 * one or few processes (e.g. one per core)
 * allocating all available memory
 * not initializing every page immediately
 * long running

I've run scientific clusters with this sort of load.  A long running job
sometimes failed many hours (weeks of CPU time) into a calculation.  They
weren't initializing all of their memory immediately, and they weren't
using calloc, so I put systems into overcommit 'never' mode.  These
clusters run diskless and have no swap.

However, with the current reserves, a user wishing to allocate as much
memory as possible to one process may be prevented from using, for
example, almost 2GB out of 32GB.

The effect is less, but still significant when a user starts a job with
one process per core.  I have repeatedly seen a set of processes
requesting the same amount of memory fail because one of them could not
allocate the amount of memory a user would expect to be able to allocate.
For example, Message Passing Interfce (MPI) processes, one per core.  And
it is similar for other parallel programming frameworks.

Changing this reserve code will make the overcommit never mode more useful
by allowing applications to allocate nearly all of the available memory.

Also, the new admin_reserve_kbytes will be safer than the current behavior
since the hardcoded 3% of available memory reserve can shrink to something
useless in the case where applications have grabbed all available memory.

Risks

* "bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory"

  The downside of the first patch-- which creates a tunable user reserve
  that is only used in overcommit 'never' mode--is that an admin can set
  it so low that a user may not be able to kill their process, even if
  they already have a shell prompt.

  Of course, a user can get in the same predicament with the current 3%
  reserve--they just have to launch processes until 3% becomes negligible.

* root-cant-log-in problem

  The second patch, adding the tunable rootuser_reserve_pages, allows
  the admin to shoot themselves in the foot by setting it too small.  They
  can easily get the system into a state where root-can't-log-in.

  However, the new admin_reserve_kbytes will be safer than the current
  behavior since the hardcoded 3% of available memory reserve can shrink
  to something useless in the case where applications have grabbed all
  available memory.

Alternatives

 * Memory cgroups provide a more flexible way to limit application memory.

   Not everyone wants to set up cgroups or deal with their overhead.

 * We could create a fourth overcommit mode which provides smaller reserves.

   The size of useful reserves may be drastically different depending
   on the whether the system is embedded or enterprise.

 * Force users to initialize all of their memory or use calloc.

   Some users don't want/expect the system to overcommit when they malloc.
   Overcommit 'never' mode is for this scenario, and it should work well.

The new user and admin reserve tunables are simple to use, with low
overhead compared to cgroups.  The patches preserve current behavior where
3% of memory is less than 128MB, except that the admin reserve doesn't
shrink to an unusable size under pressure.  The code allows admins to tune
for embedded and enterprise usage.

FAQ

 * How is the root-cant-login problem addressed?
   What happens if admin_reserve_pages is set to 0?

   Root is free to shoot themselves in the foot by setting
   admin_reserve_kbytes too low.

   On x86_64, the minimum useful reserve is:
     8MB for overcommit 'guess'
   128MB for overcommit 'never'

   admin_reserve_pages defaults to min(3% free memory, 8MB)

   So, anyone switching to 'never' mode needs to adjust
   admin_reserve_pages.

 * How do you calculate a minimum useful reserve?

   A user or the admin needs enough memory to login and perform
   recovery operations, which includes, at a minimum:

   sshd or login + bash (or some other shell) + top (or ps, kill, etc.)

   For overcommit 'guess', we can sum resident set sizes (RSS)
   because we only need enough memory to handle what the recovery
   programs will typically use. On x86_64 this is about 8MB.

   For overcommit 'never', we can take the max of their virtual sizes (VSZ)
   and add the sum of their RSS. We use VSZ instead of RSS because mode
   forces us to ensure we can fulfill all of the requested memory allocations--
   even if the programs only use a fraction of what they ask for.
   On x86_64 this is about 128MB.

   When swap is enabled, reserves are useful even when they are as
   small as 10MB, regardless of overcommit mode.

   When both swap and overcommit are disabled, then the admin should
   tune the reserves higher to be absolutley safe. Over 230MB each
   was safest in my testing.

 * What happens if user_reserve_pages is set to 0?

   Note, this only affects overcomitt 'never' mode.

   Then a user will be able to allocate all available memory minus
   admin_reserve_kbytes.

   However, they will easily see a message such as:

   "bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory"

   And they won't be able to recover/kill their application.
   The admin should be able to recover the system if
   admin_reserve_kbytes is set appropriately.

 * What's the difference between overcommit 'guess' and 'never'?

   "Guess" allows an allocation if there are enough free + reclaimable
   pages. It has a hardcoded 3% of free pages reserved for root.

   "Never" allows an allocation if there is enough swap + a configurable
   percentage (default is 50) of physical RAM. It has a hardcoded 3% of
   free pages reserved for root, like "Guess" mode. It also has a
   hardcoded 3% of the current process size reserved for additional
   applications.

 * Why is overcommit 'guess' not suitable even when an app eventually
   writes to every page? It takes free pages, file pages, available
   swap pages, reclaimable slab pages into consideration. In other words,
   these are all pages available, then why isn't overcommit suitable?

   Because it only looks at the present state of the system. It
   does not take into account the memory that other applications have
   malloced, but haven't initialized yet. It overcommits the system.

Test Summary

There was little change in behavior in the default overcommit 'guess'
mode with swap enabled before and after the patch. This was expected.

Systems run most predictably (i.e. no oom kills) in overcommit 'never'
mode with swap enabled. This also allowed the most memory to be allocated
to a user application.

Overcommit 'guess' mode without swap is a bad idea. It is easy to
crash the system. None of the other tested combinations crashed.
This matches my experience on the Roadrunner supercomputer.

Without the tunable user reserve, a system in overcommit 'never' mode
and without swap does not allow the admin to recover, although the
admin can.

With the new tunable reserves, a system in overcommit 'never' mode
and without swap can be configured to:

1. maximize user-allocatable memory, running close to the edge of
recoverability

2. maximize recoverability, sacrificing allocatable memory to
ensure that a user cannot take down a system

Test Description

Fedora 18 VM - 4 x86_64 cores, 5725MB RAM, 4GB Swap

System is booted into multiuser console mode, with unnecessary services
turned off. Caches were dropped before each test.

Hogs are user memtester processes that attempt to allocate all free memory
as reported by /proc/meminfo

In overcommit 'never' mode, memory_ratio=100

Future Work

 - Test larger memory systems.

 - Test an embedded image.

 - Test other architectures.

 - Time malloc microbenchmarks.

 - Would it be useful to be able to set overcommit policy for
   each memory cgroup?

 - Some lines are slightly above 80 chars.
   Perhaps define a macro to convert between pages and kb?
   Other places in the kernel do this.

f02c696800 include/linux/memory.h: implement register_hotmemory_notifier()
When CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n, we don't want the memory-hotplug notifier
handlers to be included in the .o files, for space reasons.

The existing hotplug_memory_notifier() tries to handle this but testing
with gcc-4.4.4 shows that it doesn't work - the hotplug functions are
still present in the .o files.

So implement a new register_hotmemory_notifier() which is a copy of
register_hotcpu_notifier(), and which actually works as desired.
hotplug_memory_notifier() and register_memory_notifier() callsites
should be converted to use this new register_hotmemory_notifier().

While we're there, let's repair the existing hotplug_memory_notifier():
it simply stomps on the register_memory_notifier() return value, so
well-behaved code cannot check for errors.  Apparently non of the
existing callers were well-behaved :(

0aad818b2d sparse-vmemmap: specify vmemmap population range in bytes
The sparse code, when asking the architecture to populate the vmemmap,
specifies the section range as a starting page and a number of pages.

This is an awkward interface, because none of the arch-specific code
actually thinks of the range in terms of 'struct page' units and always
translates it to bytes first.

In addition, later patches mix huge page and regular page backing for
the vmemmap.  For this, they need to call vmemmap_populate_basepages()
on sub-section ranges with PAGE_SIZE and PMD_SIZE in mind.  But these
are not necessarily multiples of the 'struct page' size and so this unit
is too coarse.

Just translate the section range into bytes once in the generic sparse
code, then pass byte ranges down the stack.

949f7ec576 mm, hugetlb: include hugepages in meminfo
Particularly in oom conditions, it's troublesome that hugetlb memory is
not displayed.  All other meminfo that is emitted will not add up to
what is expected, and there is no artifact left in the kernel log to
show that a potentially significant amount of memory is actually
allocated as hugepages which are not available to be reclaimed.

Booting with hugepages=8192 on the command line, this memory is now
shown in oom conditions.  For example, with echo m >
/proc/sysrq-trigger:

  Node 0 hugepages_total=2048 hugepages_free=2048 hugepages_surp=0 hugepages_size=2048kB

6ee8630e02 mm: allow arch code to control the user page table ceiling

This patch introduces a generic USER_PGTABLES_CEILING that arch code can

to ensure the complete freeing of the page tables (usually in
pgd_free()).

However, both OFFSET(vmap_area.va_start) and OFFSET(vmap_area.list)

(ext3/jbd) of snapshotting, hook all the places where writes can be
initiated without PG_writeback set, and set BIO_SNAP_STABLE there.

We must also flag journal "metadata" bios for stable writeout, since
file data can be written through the journal.  Finally, the
MS_SNAP_STABLE mount flag (only used by ext3) is now superfluous, so get
rid of it.

106c992a5e mm/hugetlb: add more arch-defined huge_pte functions
Commit abf09bed3c ("s390/mm: implement software dirty bits")
introduced another difference in the pte layout vs.  the pmd layout on
s390, thoroughly breaking the s390 support for hugetlbfs.  This requires
replacing some more pte_xxx functions in mm/hugetlbfs.c with a
huge_pte_xxx version.

This patch introduces those huge_pte_xxx functions and their generic
implementation in asm-generic/hugetlb.h, which will now be included on
all architectures supporting hugetlbfs apart from s390.  This change
will be a no-op for those architectures.

cfa11e08ed mm: introduce free_highmem_page() helper to free highmem pages into buddy system
The original goal of this patchset is to fix the bug reported by

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53501

Now it has also been expanded to reduce common code used by memory
initializion.

This is the second part, which applies to the previous part at:
  http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=136289696323825&w=2

It introduces a helper function free_highmem_page() to free highmem
pages into the buddy system when initializing mm subsystem.
Introduction of free_highmem_page() is one step forward to clean up
accesses and modificaitons of totalhigh_pages, totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages etc. I hope we could remove all references to
totalhigh_pages from the arch/ subdirectory.

We have only tested these patchset on x86 platforms, and have done basic
compliation tests using cross-compilers from ftp.kernel.org. That means
some code may not pass compilation on some architectures. So any help
to test this patchset are welcomed!

There are several other parts still under development:
Part3: refine code to manage totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and
	zone->managed_pages
Part4: introduce helper functions to simplify mem_init() and remove the
	global variable num_physpages.

This patch:

Introduce helper function free_highmem_page(), which will be used by
architectures with HIGHMEM enabled to free highmem pages into the buddy
system.

69afade72a mm: introduce common help functions to deal with reserved/managed pages
The original goal of this patchset is to fix the bug reported by

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53501

Now it has also been expanded to reduce common code used by memory
initializion.

This is the first part, which applies to v3.9-rc1.

It introduces following common helper functions to simplify
free_initmem() and free_initrd_mem() on different architectures:

adjust_managed_page_count():
	will be used to adjust totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages,
	zone->managed_pages when reserving/unresering a page.

__free_reserved_page():
	free a reserved page into the buddy system without adjusting
	page statistics info

free_reserved_page():
	free a reserved page into the buddy system and adjust page
	statistics info

mark_page_reserved():
	mark a page as reserved and adjust page statistics info

free_reserved_area():
	free a continous ranges of pages by calling free_reserved_page()

free_initmem_default():
	default method to free __init pages.

We have only tested these patchset on x86 platforms, and have done basic
compliation tests using cross-compilers from ftp.kernel.org.  That means
some code may not pass compilation on some architectures.  So any help to
test this patchset are welcomed!

There are several other parts still under development:
Part2: introduce free_highmem_page() to simplify freeing highmem pages
Part3: refine code to manage totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and
	zone->managed_pages
Part4: introduce helper functions to simplify mem_init() and remove the
	global variable num_physpages.

This patch:

Code to deal with reserved/managed pages are duplicated by many
architectures, so introduce common help functions to reduce duplicated
code.  These common help functions will also be used to concentrate code
to modify totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages, which makes the code
much more clear.

8375ad98cc vm: adjust ifdef for TINY_RCU
There is an ifdef in page_cache_get_speculative() that checks for !SMP
and TREE_RCU, which has been an impossible combination since the advent
of TINY_RCU.  The ifdef enables a fastpath that is valid when preemption
is disabled by rcu_read_lock() in UP systems, which is the case when
TINY_RCU is enabled.  This commit therefore adjusts the ifdef to
generate the fastpath when TINY_RCU is enabled.

4b59e6c473 mm, show_mem: suppress page counts in non-blockable contexts
On large systems with a lot of memory, walking all RAM to determine page
types may take a half second or even more.

In non-blockable contexts, the page allocator will emit a page allocation
failure warning unless __GFP_NOWARN is specified.  In such contexts, irqs
are typically disabled and such a lengthy delay may even result in NMI
watchdog timeouts.

To fix this, suppress the page walk in such contexts when printing the
page allocation failure warning.

fe0bfaaff8 mm: trace filemap add and del
Use the events API to trace filemap loading and unloading of file pieces
into the page cache.

This patch aims at tracing the eviction reload cycle of executable and
shared libraries pages in a memory constrained environment.

The typical usage is to spot a specific device and inode (for example
/lib/libc.so) to see the eviction cycles, and find out if frequently
used code is rather spread across many pages (bad) or coallesced (good).

2c2fea1195 debug_locks.h: make warning more verbose
The WARN_ON(1) in DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON is surprisingly awkward to track
down when it's hit, as it's usually buried in macros, causing multiple
instances to land on the same line number.

This patch makes it more useful by switching to:

    WARN(1, "DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(%s)", #c);

so that the particular DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON is more easily identified and
grep'd for.  For example:

    WARNING: at kernel/mutex.c:198 _mutex_lock_nested+0x31c/0x380()
    DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(l->magic != l)

Pull char/misc driver update from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
 "Here's the big char / misc driver update for 3.10-rc1

  A number of various driver updates, the majority being new
  functionality in the MEI driver subsystem (it's now a subsystem, it
  started out just a single driver), extcon updates, memory updates,
  hyper-v updates, and a bunch of other small stuff that doesn't fit in
  any other tree.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while"

Linus Torvalds
000a74f41e These are the pinctrl changes for v3.10:
- Patrice Chotard contributed a new configuration debugfs interface
   and reintroduced fine-grained locking into the core: instead of
   having a "big pinctrl lock" we have a per-controller lock and
   specialized locks for the global controller and pinctrl handle
   lists.
 - Haoijan Zhuang deleted all the PXA and MMP2 pinctrl drivers and
   replaced them with pinctrl-single (which is also used by other SoCs)
   so we are gaining consolidation. The platform particulars now come
   in through the device tree.
 - Haoijan also added support for generic pin config into the
   pinctrl-single driver which is another big consolidation win.
 - Finally also GPIO ranges are now supported by the pinctrl-single
   driver.
 - Tomasz Figa contributed a new Samsung S3C pinctrl driver, bringing
   more of the older Samsung platforms under the pinctrl umbrella and
   out of arch/arm.
 - Maxime Ripard contributed new Allwinner A10/A13 drivers.
 - Sachin Kamat, Wei Yongjun and Axel Lin did a lot of cleanups.
