arm64: errata: add workaround for cortex-a53 erratum #845719
When running a compat (AArch32) userspace on Cortex-A53, a load at EL0
from a virtual address that matches the bottom 32 bits of the virtual
address used by a recent load at (AArch64) EL1 might return incorrect
data.
This patch works around the issue by writing to the contextidr_el1
register on the exception return path when returning to a 32-bit task.

zram: fix umount-reset_store-mount race condition
Ganesh Mahendran was the first one who proposed to use bdev->bd_mutex to
avoid ->bd_holders race condition:
CPU0 CPU1
umount /* zram->init_done is true */
reset_store()
bdev->bd_holders == 0 mount
... zram_make_request()
zram_reset_device()
However, his solution required some considerable amount of code movement,
which we can avoid.
Apart from using bdev->bd_mutex in reset_store(), this patch also
simplifies zram_reset_device().
zram_reset_device() has a bool parameter reset_capacity which tells it
whether disk capacity and itself disk should be reset. There are two
zram_reset_device() callers:
-- zram_exit() passes reset_capacity=false
-- reset_store() passes reset_capacity=true
So we can move reset_capacity-sensitive work out of zram_reset_device()
and perform it unconditionally in reset_store(). This also lets us drop
reset_capacity parameter from zram_reset_device() and pass zram pointer
only.

zsmalloc: correct fragile [kmap|kunmap]_atomic use
The kunmap_atomic should use virtual address getting by kmap_atomic.
However, some pieces of code in zsmalloc uses modified address, not the
one got by kmap_atomic for kunmap_atomic.
It's okay for working because zsmalloc modifies the address inner
PAGE_SIZE bounday so it works with current kmap_atomic's implementation.
But it's still fragile with potential changing of kmap_atomic so let's
correct it.
I got a subtle bug when I implemented a new feature of zsmalloc
(compaction) due to a link's mishandling (the link was over page
boundary). Although it was totally my mistake, it took a while to find
the cause because an unpredictable kmapped address was unmapped causing an
almost random crash.

gator: Enable multiple source copies to exist in Android build environments
An Android build environment may contain multiple copies of the gator
source code, e.g. if it's been copied into a kernel tree as well as
having a standalone copy, or if there are two kernel trees with copies.
As Android builds tend to include all Android.mk it finds, this can
lead to build errors because there is more that one makefile trying to
build the daemon.
To allow this situation to be catered for we update Android.mk so that
if the variable GATOR_DAEMON_PATH is defined, and the makefile doesn't
live under that path, then the makefile contents are ignored. An Android
build environment can then set GATOR_DAEMON_PATH to specify the copy
it wants to use.

zsmalloc: merge size_class to reduce fragmentation
zsmalloc has many size_classes to reduce fragmentation and they are in 16
bytes unit, for example, 16, 32, 48, etc., if PAGE_SIZE is 4096. And,
zsmalloc has constraint that each zspage has 4 pages at maximum.
In this situation, we can see interesting aspect. Let's think about
size_class for 1488, 1472, ..., 1376. To prevent external fragmentation,
they uses 4 pages per zspage and so all they can contain 11 objects at
maximum.
16384 (4096 * 4) = 1488 * 11 + remains
16384 (4096 * 4) = 1472 * 11 + remains
16384 (4096 * 4) = ...
16384 (4096 * 4) = 1376 * 11 + remains
It means that they have same characteristics and classification between
them isn't needed. If we use one size_class for them, we can reduce
fragementation and save some memory since both the 1488 and 1472 sized
classes can only fit 11 objects into 4 pages, and an object that's 1472
bytes can fit into an object that's 1488 bytes, merging these classes to
always use objects that are 1488 bytes will reduce the total number of
size classes. And reducing the total number of size classes reduces
overall fragmentation, because a wider range of compressed pages can fit
into a single size class, leaving less unused objects in each size class.
For this purpose, this patch implement size_class merging. If there is
size_class that have same pages_per_zspage and same number of objects per
zspage with previous size_class, we don't create new size_class. Instead,
we use previous, same characteristic size_class. With this way, above
example sizes (1488, 1472, ..., 1376) use just one size_class so we can
get much more memory utilization.
Below is result of my simple test.

Change zsmalloc init_zspage() logic to iterate through each object on each

page before linking it into the zspage.
The current zsmalloc init_zspage free object linking code has logic that
relies on there only being one page per zspage when PAGE_SIZE is a
multiple of class->size. It calculates the number of objects for the
current page, and iterates through all of them plus one, to account for
the assumed partial object at the end of the page. While this currently
works, the logic can be simplified to just link the object at each
successive offset until the offset is larger than PAGE_SIZE, which does
not rely on PAGE_SIZE being a multiple of class->size.

zram: use notify_free to account all free notifications
`notify_free' device attribute accounts the number of slot free
notifications and internally represents the number of zram_free_page()
calls. Slot free notifications are sent only when device is used as a
swap device, hence `notify_free' is used only for swap devices. Since
f4659d8e620d08 (zram: support REQ_DISCARD) ZRAM handles yet another one
free notification (also via zram_free_page() call) -- REQ_DISCARD
requests, which are sent by a filesystem, whenever some data blocks are
discarded. However, there is no way to know the number of notifications
in the latter case.
Use `notify_free' to account the number of pages freed by
zram_bio_discard() and zram_slot_free_notify(). Depending on usage
scenario `notify_free' represents:
a) the number of pages freed because of slot free notifications, which is
equal to the number of swap_slot_free_notify() calls, so there is no
behaviour change
b) the number of pages freed because of REQ_DISCARD notifications

zsmalloc: change return value unit of zs_get_total_size_bytes
zs_get_total_size_bytes returns a amount of memory zsmalloc consumed with
*byte unit* but zsmalloc operates *page unit* rather than byte unit so
let's change the API so benefit we could get is that reduce unnecessary
overhead (ie, change page unit with byte unit) in zsmalloc.
Since return type is pages, "zs_get_total_pages" is better than
"zs_get_total_size_bytes".

zsmalloc: move pages_allocated to zs_pool
Currently, zram has no feature to limit memory so theoretically zram can
deplete system memory. Users have asked for a limit several times as even
without exhaustion zram makes it hard to control memory usage of the
platform. This patchset adds the feature.
Patch 1 makes zs_get_total_size_bytes faster because it would be used
frequently in later patches for the new feature.
Patch 2 changes zs_get_total_size_bytes's return unit from bytes to page
so that zsmalloc doesn't need unnecessary operation(ie, << PAGE_SHIFT).
Patch 3 adds new feature. I added the feature into zram layer, not
zsmalloc because limiation is zram's requirement, not zsmalloc so any
other user using zsmalloc(ie, zpool) shouldn't affected by unnecessary
branch of zsmalloc. In future, if every users of zsmalloc want the
feature, then, we could move the feature from client side to zsmalloc
easily but vice versa would be painful.
Patch 4 adds news facility to report maximum memory usage of zram so that
this avoids user polling frequently via /sys/block/zram0/ mem_used_total
and ensures transient max are not missed.
This patch (of 4):
pages_allocated has counted in size_class structure and when user of
zsmalloc want to see total_size_bytes, it should gather all of count from
each size_class to report the sum.
It's not bad if user don't see the value often but if user start to see
the value frequently, it would be not a good deal for performance pov.
This patch moves the count from size_class to zs_pool so it could reduce
memory footprint (from [255 * 8byte] to [sizeof(atomic_long_t)]).

zram: replace global tb_lock with fine grain lock
Currently, we use a rwlock tb_lock to protect concurrent access to the
whole zram meta table. However, according to the actual access model,
there is only a small chance for upper user to access the same
table[index], so the current lock granularity is too big.
The idea of optimization is to change the lock granularity from whole
meta table to per table entry (table -> table[index]), so that we can
protect concurrent access to the same table[index], meanwhile allow the
maximum concurrency.
With this in mind, several kinds of locks which could be used as a
per-entry lock were tested and compared:
Test environment:

All the optimization methods show a higher performance than the base,
however, it is hard to say which method is the most appropriate.
On the other hand, zram is mostly used on small embedded system, so we
don't want to increase any memory footprint.
This patch pick the bit_spinlock method, pack object size and page_flag
into an unsigned long table.value, so as to not increase any memory
overhead on both 32-bit and 64-bit system.
On the third hand, even though different kinds of locks have different
performances, we can ignore this difference, because: if zram is used as
zram swapfile, the swap subsystem can prevent concurrent access to the
same swapslot; if zram is used as zram-blk for set up filesystem on it,
the upper filesystem and the page cache also prevent concurrent access
of the same block mostly. So we can ignore the different performances
among locks.

Step is as follows,
0. Reset the unused zram device.
1. Use a program that opens /dev/zram0 with O_RDWR and sleeps
until killed.
2. While that program sleeps, echo the correct value to
/sys/block/zram0/disksize.
3. Verify (e.g. in /proc/partitions) that the disk size is applied
correctly. It is.
4. While that program still sleeps, attempt to mkswap /dev/zram0.
This fails: mkswap: error: swap area needs to be at least 40 KiB
When I investigated, the size get by ioctl(fd, BLKGETSIZE64, xxx) on
mkswap to get a size of blockdev was zero although zram0 has right size by
2.
The reason is zram didn't revalidate disk after changing capacity so that
size of blockdev's inode is not uptodate until all of file is close.

The current offset usage in zram_bio_discard is incorrect, it will cause
its upper filesystem breakdown. Consider the following scenario:
On some architecture or config, PAGE_SIZE is 64K for example, filesystem
is set up on zram disk without PAGE_SIZE aligned, a discard bio leads to a
offset = 4K and size=72K, normally, it should not really discard any
physical block as it partially cover two physical blocks. However, with
the current offset usage, it will discard the second physical block and

decompressor: add LZ4 decompressor module
Add support for LZ4 decompression in the Linux Kernel. LZ4 Decompression
APIs for kernel are based on LZ4 implementation by Yann Collet.

- UA: Unaligned memory Access support
- Latest patch set for LZO applied
This patch set is for adding support for LZ4-compressed Kernel. LZ4 is a
very fast lossless compression algorithm and it also features an extremely
fast decoder [1].
But we have five of decompressors already and one question which does
arise, however, is that of where do we stop adding new ones? This issue
had been discussed and came to the conclusion [2].
Russell King said that we should have:
- one decompressor which is the fastest
- one decompressor for the highest compression ratio
- one popular decompressor (eg conventional gzip)
If we have a replacement one for one of these, then it should do exactly
that: replace it.
The benchmark shows that an 8% increase in image size vs a 66% increase
in decompression speed compared to LZO(which has been known as the
fastest decompressor in the Kernel). Therefore the "fast but may not be
small" compression title has clearly been taken by LZ4 [3].

zram: support REQ_DISCARD
zram is ram based block device and can be used by backend of filesystem.
When filesystem deletes a file, it normally doesn't do anything on data
block of that file. It just marks on metadata of that file. This
behavior has no problem on disk based block device, but has problems on
ram based block device, since we can't free memory used for data block.
To overcome this disadvantage, there is REQ_DISCARD functionality. If
block device support REQ_DISCARD and filesystem is mounted with discard
option, filesystem sends REQ_DISCARD to block device whenever some data
blocks are discarded. All we have to do is to handle this request.
This patch implements to flag up QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD and handle this
REQ_DISCARD request. With it, we can free memory used by zram if it isn't
used.

zram: add multi stream functionality
Existing zram (zcomp) implementation has only one compression stream
(buffer and algorithm private part), so in order to prevent data
corruption only one write (compress operation) can use this compression
stream, forcing all concurrent write operations to wait for stream lock
to be released. This patch changes zcomp to keep a compression streams
list of user-defined size (via sysfs device attr). Each write operation
still exclusively holds compression stream, the difference is that we
can have N write operations (depending on size of streams list)
executing in parallel. See TEST section later in commit message for
performance data.
Introduce struct zcomp_strm_multi and a set of functions to manage
zcomp_strm stream access. zcomp_strm_multi has a list of idle
zcomp_strm structs, spinlock to protect idle list and wait queue, making
it possible to perform parallel compressions.
The following set of functions added:
- zcomp_strm_multi_find()/zcomp_strm_multi_release()
find and release a compression stream, implement required locking
- zcomp_strm_multi_create()/zcomp_strm_multi_destroy()
create and destroy zcomp_strm_multi
zcomp ->strm_find() and ->strm_release() callbacks are set during
initialisation to zcomp_strm_multi_find()/zcomp_strm_multi_release()
correspondingly.
Each time zcomp issues a zcomp_strm_multi_find() call, the following set
of operations performed:
- spin lock strm_lock
- if idle list is not empty, remove zcomp_strm from idle list, spin
unlock and return zcomp stream pointer to caller
- if idle list is empty, current adds itself to wait queue. it will be
awaken by zcomp_strm_multi_release() caller.
zcomp_strm_multi_release():
- spin lock strm_lock
- add zcomp stream to idle list
- spin unlock, wake up sleeper
Minchan Kim reported that spinlock-based locking scheme has demonstrated
a severe perfomance regression for single compression stream case,
comparing to mutex-based (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/18/16)

When only one compression stream available, mutex with spin on owner
tends to perform much better than frequent wait_event()/wake_up(). This
is why single stream implemented as a special case with mutex locking.
Introduce and document zram device attribute max_comp_streams. This
attr shows and stores current zcomp's max number of zcomp streams
(max_strm). Extend zcomp's zcomp_create() with `max_strm' parameter.
`max_strm' limits the number of zcomp_strm structs in compression
backend's idle list (max_comp_streams).
max_comp_streams used during initialisation as follows:
-- passing to zcomp_create() max_strm equals to 1 will initialise zcomp
using single compression stream zcomp_strm_single (mutex-based locking).
-- passing to zcomp_create() max_strm greater than 1 will initialise zcomp
using multi compression stream zcomp_strm_multi (spinlock-based locking).
default max_comp_streams value is 1, meaning that zram with single stream
will be initialised.
Later patch will introduce configuration knob to change max_comp_streams
on already initialised and used zcomp.

zram: introduce compressing backend abstraction
ZRAM performs direct LZO compression algorithm calls, making it the one
and only option. While LZO is generally performs well, LZ4 algorithm
tends to have a faster decompression (see http://code.google.com/p/lz4/
for full report)
Name Ratio C.speed D.speed
MB/s MB/s
LZ4 (r101) 2.084 422 1820
LZO 2.06 2.106 414 600
Thus, users who have mostly read (decompress) usage scenarious or mixed
workflow (writes with relatively high read ops number) will benefit from
using LZ4 compression backend.
Introduce compressing backend abstraction zcomp in order to support
multiple compression algorithms with the following set of operations:
.create
.destroy
.compress
.decompress
Schematically zram write() usually contains the following steps:
0) preparation (decompression of partioal IO, etc.)
1) lock buffer_lock mutex (protects meta compress buffers)
2) compress (using meta compress buffers)
3) alloc and map zs_pool object
4) copy compressed data (from meta compress buffers) to object allocated by 3)
5) free previous pool page, assign a new one
6) unlock buffer_lock mutex
As we can see, compressing buffers must remain untouched from 1) to 4),
because, otherwise, concurrent write() can overwrite data. At the same
time, zram_meta must be aware of a) specific compression algorithm memory
requirements and b) necessary locking to protect compression buffers. To
remove requirement a) new struct zcomp_strm introduced, which contains a
compress/decompress `buffer' and compression algorithm `private' part.
While struct zcomp implements zcomp_strm stream handling and locking and
removes requirement b) from zram meta. zcomp ->create() and ->destroy(),
respectively, allocate and deallocate algorithm specific zcomp_strm
`private' part.
Every zcomp has zcomp stream and mutex to protect its compression stream.
Stream usage semantics remains the same -- only one write can hold stream
lock and use its buffers. zcomp_strm_find() turns caller into exclusive
user of a stream (holding stream mutex until zram release stream), and
zcomp_strm_release() makes zcomp stream available (unlock the stream
mutex). Hence no concurrent write (compression) operations possible at
the moment.

zsmalloc: Fix CPU hotplug callback registration
Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform
initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown
below:
get_online_cpus();
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
init_cpu(cpu);
register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
put_online_cpus();
This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the
cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently
with CPU hotplug operations).
Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback
registration is:
cpu_notifier_register_begin();
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
init_cpu(cpu);
/* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */
__register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
cpu_notifier_register_done();
Fix the zsmalloc code by using this latter form of callback registration.

CPU hotplug: Provide lockless versions of callback registration functions
The following method of CPU hotplug callback registration is not safe
due to the possibility of an ABBA deadlock involving the cpu_add_remove_lock
and the cpu_hotplug.lock.
get_online_cpus();
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
init_cpu(cpu);

Try to acquire
cpu_add_remove_lock
[via register_cpu_notifier()]
CPU online/offline operation
tries to acquire cpu_hotplug.lock
[via cpu_hotplug_begin()]
*** DEADLOCK! ***
The problem here is that callback registration takes the locks in one order
whereas the CPU hotplug operations take the same locks in the opposite order.
To avoid this issue and to provide a race-free method to register CPU hotplug
callbacks (along with initialization of already online CPUs), introduce new
variants of the callback registration APIs that simply register the callbacks
without holding the cpu_add_remove_lock during the registration. That way,
we can avoid the ABBA scenario. However, we will need to hold the
cpu_add_remove_lock throughout the entire critical section, to protect updates
to the callback/notifier chain.
This can be achieved by writing the callback registration code as follows:
cpu_maps_update_begin(); [ or cpu_notifier_register_begin(); see below ]
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
init_cpu(cpu);
/* This doesn't take the cpu_add_remove_lock */
__register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
cpu_maps_update_done(); [ or cpu_notifier_register_done(); see below ]
Note that we can't use get_online_cpus() here instead of cpu_maps_update_begin()
because the cpu_hotplug.lock is dropped during the invocation of CPU_POST_DEAD
notifiers, and hence get_online_cpus() cannot provide the necessary
synchronization to protect the callback/notifier chains against concurrent
reads and writes. On the other hand, since the cpu_add_remove_lock protects
the entire hotplug operation (including CPU_POST_DEAD), we can use
cpu_maps_update_begin/done() to guarantee proper synchronization.
Also, since cpu_maps_update_begin/done() is like a super-set of
get/put_online_cpus(), the former naturally protects the critical sections
from concurrent hotplug operations.
Since the names cpu_maps_update_begin/done() don't make much sense in CPU
hotplug callback registration scenarios, we'll introduce new APIs named
cpu_notifier_register_begin/done() and map them to cpu_maps_update_begin/done().
In summary, introduce the lockless variants of un/register_cpu_notifier() and
also export the cpu_notifier_register_begin/done() APIs for use by modules.
This way, we provide a race-free way to register hotplug callbacks as well as
perform initialization for the CPUs that are already online.

zram: remove zram->lock in read path and change it with mutex
Finally, we separated zram->lock dependency from 32bit stat/ table
handling so there is no reason to use rw_semaphore between read and
write path so this patch removes the lock from read path totally and
changes rw_semaphore with mutex. So, we could do
old:
read-read: OK
read-write: NO
write-write: NO
Now:
read-read: OK
read-write: OK
write-write: NO
The below data proves mixed workload performs well 11 times and there is
also enhance on write-write path because current rw-semaphore doesn't
support SPIN_ON_OWNER. It's side effect but anyway good thing for us.
Write-related tests perform better (from 61% to 1058%) but read path has
good/bad(from -2.22% to 1.45%) but they are all marginal within stddev.

Currently, the zram table is protected by zram->lock but it's rather

zram: use atomic operation for stat
Some of fields in zram->stats are protected by zram->lock which is
rather coarse-grained so let's use atomic operation without explict
locking.
This patch is ready for removing dependency of zram->lock in read path
which is very coarse-grained rw_semaphore. Of course, this patch adds
new atomic operation so it might make slow but my 12CPU test couldn't
spot any regression. All gain/lose is marginal within stddev.

Let's consider below example.
Swap subsystem ask to zram "A" block free by swap_slot_free_notify but
zram had been pended it without real freeing. Swap subsystem allocates
"A" block for new data but request pended for a long time just handled

zram: promote zram from staging
Zram has lived in staging for a LONG LONG time and have been
fixed/improved by many contributors so code is clean and stable now. Of
course, there are lots of product using zram in real practice.
The major TV companys have used zram as swap since two years ago and
recently our production team released android smart phone with zram
which is used as swap, too and recently Android Kitkat start to use zram
for small memory smart phone. And there was a report Google released
their ChromeOS with zram, too and cyanogenmod have been used zram long
time ago. And I heard some disto have used zram block device for tmpfs.
In addition, I saw many report from many other peoples. For example,
Lubuntu start to use it.
The benefit of zram is very clear. With my experience, one of the
benefit was to remove jitter of video application with backgroud memory
pressure. It would be effect of efficient memory usage by compression
but more issue is whether swap is there or not in the system. Recent
mobile platforms have used JAVA so there are many anonymous pages. But
embedded system normally are reluctant to use eMMC or SDCard as swap
because there is wear-leveling and latency issues so if we do not use
swap, it means we can't reclaim anoymous pages and at last, we could
encounter OOM kill. :(
Although we have real storage as swap, it was a problem, too. Because
it sometime ends up making system very unresponsible caused by slow swap
storage performance.
Quote from Luigi on Google
"Since Chrome OS was mentioned: the main reason why we don't use swap
to a disk (rotating or SSD) is because it doesn't degrade gracefully
and leads to a bad interactive experience. Generally we prefer to
manage RAM at a higher level, by transparently killing and restarting
processes. But we noticed that zram is fast enough to be competitive
with the latter, and it lets us make more efficient use of the
available RAM. " and he announced.
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg57717.html
Other uses case is to use zram for block device. Zram is block device
so anyone can format the block device and mount on it so some guys on
the internet start zram as /var/tmp.
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-838198-start-0.html
Let's promote zram and enhance/maintain it instead of removing.

zsmalloc: move it under mm
This patch moves zsmalloc under mm directory.
Before that, description will explain why we have needed custom
allocator.
Zsmalloc is a new slab-based memory allocator for storing compressed
pages. It is designed for low fragmentation and high allocation success
rate on large object, but <= PAGE_SIZE allocations.
zsmalloc differs from the kernel slab allocator in two primary ways to
achieve these design goals.
zsmalloc never requires high order page allocations to back slabs, or
"size classes" in zsmalloc terms. Instead it allows multiple
single-order pages to be stitched together into a "zspage" which backs
the slab. This allows for higher allocation success rate under memory
pressure.
Also, zsmalloc allows objects to span page boundaries within the zspage.
This allows for lower fragmentation than could be had with the kernel
slab allocator for objects between PAGE_SIZE/2 and PAGE_SIZE. With the
kernel slab allocator, if a page compresses to 60% of it original size,
the memory savings gained through compression is lost in fragmentation
because another object of the same size can't be stored in the leftover
space.
This ability to span pages results in zsmalloc allocations not being
directly addressable by the user. The user is given an
non-dereferencable handle in response to an allocation request. That
handle must be mapped, using zs_map_object(), which returns a pointer to
the mapped region that can be used. The mapping is necessary since the
object data may reside in two different noncontigious pages.
The zsmalloc fulfills the allocation needs for zram perfectly

zram: don't grab mutex in zram_slot_free_noity
[1] introduced down_write in zram_slot_free_notify to prevent race
between zram_slot_free_notify and zram_bvec_[read|write]. The race
could happen if somebody who has right permission to open swap device
is reading swap device while it is used by swap in parallel.
However, zram_slot_free_notify is called with holding spin_lock of
swap layer so we shouldn't avoid holing mutex. Otherwise, lockdep
warns it.
This patch adds new list to handle free slot and workqueue
so zram_slot_free_notify just registers slot index to be freed and
registers the request to workqueue. If workqueue is expired,
it holds mutex_lock so there is no problem any more.
If any I/O is issued, zram handles pending slot-free request
caused by zram_slot_free_notify right before handling issued
request because workqueue wouldn't be expired yet so zram I/O
request handling function can miss it.
Lastly, when zram is reset, flush_work could handle all of pending
free request so we shouldn't have memory leak.
NOTE: If zram_slot_free_notify's kmalloc with GFP_ATOMIC would be
failed, the slot will be freed when next write I/O write the slot.

zram: remove zram_sysfs file (v2)
Move zram sysfs code to zram drv and remove zram_sysfs.c
file. This gives ability to make static a number of previously
exported zram functions, used from zram sysfs, e.g. internal zram
zram_meta_alloc/free(). We also can drop zram_drv wrapper
functions, used from zram sysfs:
e.g. zram_reset_device()/__zram_reset_device() pair.
v2: as suggested by Greg K-H, move MODULE description to the
bottom of the file.

zram: use atomic64_xxx() to replace zram_stat64_xxx()
Use atomic64_xxx() to replace open-coded zram_stat64_xxx().
Some architectures have native support of atomic64 operations,
so we can get rid of the spin_lock() in zram_stat64_xxx().
On the other hand, for platforms use generic version of atomic64
implement, it may cause an extra save/restore of the interrupt
flag. So it's a tradeoff.

C6x: time: Ensure consistency in __init
commit

time_init invokes timer64_init (which is __init annotation)
since all of these are invoked at init time, lets maintain
consistency by ensuring time_init is marked appropriately
as well.
This fixes the following warning with CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y

The function time_init() references

wl18xx: show rx_frames_per_rates as an array as it really is
commit
a3fa71c40f1853d0c27e8f5bc01a722a705d9682 upstream.
In struct wl18xx_acx_rx_rate_stat, rx_frames_per_rates field is an
array, not a number. This means WL18XX_DEBUGFS_FWSTATS_FILE can't be
used to display this field in debugfs (it would display a pointer, not
the actual data). Use WL18XX_DEBUGFS_FWSTATS_FILE_ARRAY instead.
This bug has been found by adding a __printf attribute to
wl1271_format_buffer. gcc complained about "format '%u' expects
argument of type 'unsigned int', but argument 5 has type 'u32 *'".

lib: memzero_explicit: use barrier instead of OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR
commit

... but in case in future we might use facilities such as LTO, then
OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR() is not sufficient to protect gcc from a possible
eviction of the memset(). We have to use a compiler barrier instead.
Minimal test example when we assume memzero_explicit() would *not* be
a call, but would have been *inlined* instead:
static inline void memzero_explicit(void *s, size_t count)
{
memset(s, 0, count);
<foo>
}
int main(void)
{
char buff[20];
snprintf(buff, sizeof(buff) - 1, "test");
printf("%s", buff);
memzero_explicit(buff, sizeof(buff));
return 0;
}
