fbdev/intelfb: Remove driver

From looking at the PCI IDs, every device supported by intelfb is
also supported by i915. Anyone still using intelfb should please
move on to i915, which does everything intelfb does but better.

Removing intelfb is motivated by the driver's excessive use of the
global screen_info state. The state belongs to architecture and
firmware code; device drivers should not attempt to access it. But
fixing intelfb would require a significant change in the driver's
probing logic. As intelfb has been obsolete for nearly 2 decades,
it is probably not worth the effort. Let's just remove it. Also
remove the related documentation.

pmdomain: Rename the genpd subsystem to pmdomain

It has been pointed out that naming a subsystem "genpd" isn't very
self-explanatory and the acronym itself that means Generic PM Domain, is
known only by a limited group of people.

In a way to improve the situation, let's rename the subsystem to pmdomain,
which ideally should indicate that this is about so called Power Domains or
"PM domains" as we often also use within the Linux Kernel terminology.

cache: Add L2 cache management for Andes AX45MP RISC-V core

I/O Coherence Port (IOCP) provides an AXI interface for connecting
external non-caching masters, such as DMA controllers. The accesses
from IOCP are coherent with D-Caches and L2 Cache.

IOCP is a specification option and is disabled on the Renesas RZ/Five
SoC due to this reason IP blocks using DMA will fail.

The Andes AX45MP core has a Programmable Physical Memory Attributes (PMA)
block that allows dynamic adjustment of memory attributes in the runtime.
It contains a configurable amount of PMA entries implemented as CSR
registers to control the attributes of memory locations in interest.
Below are the memory attributes supported:
* Device, Non-bufferable
* Device, bufferable
* Memory, Non-cacheable, Non-bufferable
* Memory, Non-cacheable, Bufferable
* Memory, Write-back, No-allocate
* Memory, Write-back, Read-allocate
* Memory, Write-back, Write-allocate
* Memory, Write-back, Read and Write-allocate

More info about PMA (section 10.3):
Link: http://www.andestech.com/wp-content/uploads/AX45MP-1C-Rev.-5.0.0-Datasheet.pdf

As a workaround for SoCs with IOCP disabled CMO needs to be handled by
software. Firstly OpenSBI configures the memory region as
"Memory, Non-cacheable, Bufferable" and passes this region as a global
shared dma pool as a DT node. With DMA_GLOBAL_POOL enabled all DMA
allocations happen from this region and synchronization callbacks are
implemented to synchronize when doing DMA transactions.

Example PMA region passes as a DT node from OpenSBI:
reserved-memory {
#address-cells = <2>;
#size-cells = <2>;
ranges;

pma_resv0@58000000 {
compatible = "shared-dma-pool";
reg = <0x0 0x58000000 0x0 0x08000000>;
no-map;
linux,dma-default;
};

genpd: Create a new subsystem directory to host genpd providers

There are currently ~60 users of the genpd provider interface, which
implementations are sprinkled across various subsystems. To simplify with
maintenance let's create a new subsystem (drivers/genpd) and start moving
the providers in there.

My intention is also to host a git tree to collect and to get the patches
tested/integrated through the linux-next tree. Ideally this should release
some of the burden on the soc maintainers.

Note that, I will of course require acks/reviews from the current platform
maintainers, hence the MAINTAINERS file needs to be updated accordingly for
each genpd provider that is moved into the new genpd subsystem.

kbuild: remove --include-dir MAKEFLAG from top Makefile

I added $(srctree)/ to some included Makefiles in the following commits:

- 3204a7fb98a3 ("kbuild: prefix $(srctree)/ to some included Makefiles")
- d82856395505 ("kbuild: do not require sub-make for separate output tree builds")

They were a preparation for removing --include-dir flag.

I have never thought --include-dir useful. Rather, it _is_ harmful.

For example, run the following commands:

$ make -s ARCH=x86 mrproper defconfig
$ make ARCH=arm O=foo dtbs
make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/linux/foo'
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
Error: kernelrelease not valid - run 'make prepare' to update it
UPD include/config/kernel.release
make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/linux/foo'

The first command configures the source tree for x86. The next command
tries to build ARM device trees in the separate foo/ directory - this
must stop because the directory foo/ has not been configured yet.

However, due to --include-dir=$(abs_srctree), the top Makefile includes
the wrong include/config/auto.conf from the source tree and continues
building. Kbuild traverses the directory tree, but of course it does
not work correctly. The Error message is also pointless - 'make prepare'
does not help at all for fixing the issue.

This commit fixes more arch Makefile, and finally removes --include-dir
from the top Makefile.

There are more breakages under drivers/, but I do not volunteer to fix
them all. I just moved --include-dir to drivers/Makefile.

With this commit, the second command will stop with a sensible message.

$ make -s ARCH=x86 mrproper defconfig
$ make ARCH=arm O=foo dtbs
make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/linux/foo'
SYNC include/config/auto.conf.cmd

ata: pata_parport: add driver (PARIDE replacement)

The pata_parport is a libata-based replacement of the old PARIDE
subsystem - driver for parallel port IDE devices.
It uses the original paride low-level protocol drivers but does not
need the high-level drivers (pd, pcd, pf, pt, pg). The IDE devices
behind parallel port adapters are handled by the ATA layer.

This will allow paride and its high-level drivers to be removed.

Unfortunately, libata drivers cannot sleep so pata_parport claims
parport before activating the ata host and keeps it claimed (and
protocol connected) until the ata host is removed. This means that
no devices can be chained (neither other pata_parport devices nor
a printer).

paride and pata_parport are mutually exclusive because the compiled
protocol drivers are incompatible.

Tested with:
- Imation SuperDisk LS-120 and HP C4381A (EPAT)
- Freecom Parallel CD (FRPW)
- Toshiba Mobile CD-RW 2793008 w/Freecom Parallel Cable rev.903 (FRIQ)
- Backpack CD-RW 222011 and CD-RW 19350 (BPCK6)

The following bugs in low-level protocol drivers were found and will
be fixed later:

Note: EPP-32 mode is buggy in EPAT - and also in all other protocol
drivers - they don't handle non-multiple-of-4 block transfers
correctly. This causes problems with LS-120 drive.
There is also another bug in EPAT: EPP modes don't work unless a 4-bit
or 8-bit mode is used first (probably some initialization missing?).
Once the device is initialized, EPP works until power cycle.

So after device power on, you have to:
echo "parport0 epat 0" >/sys/bus/pata_parport/new_device
echo pata_parport.0 >/sys/bus/pata_parport/delete_device
echo "parport0 epat 4" >/sys/bus/pata_parport/new_device
(autoprobe will initialize correctly as it tries the slowest modes
first but you'll get the broken EPP-32 mode)

Note: EPP modes are buggy in FRPW, only modes 0 and 1 work.

accel/ivpu: Introduce a new DRM driver for Intel VPU

VPU stands for Versatile Processing Unit and it's a CPU-integrated
inference accelerator for Computer Vision and Deep Learning
applications.

The VPU device consist of following components:
- Buttress - provides CPU to VPU integration, interrupt, frequency and
power management.
- Memory Management Unit (based on ARM MMU-600) - translates VPU to
host DMA addresses, isolates user workloads.
- RISC based microcontroller - executes firmware that provides job
execution API for the kernel-mode driver
- Neural Compute Subsystem (NCS) - does the actual work, provides
Compute and Copy engines.
- Network on Chip (NoC) - network fabric connecting all the components

This driver supports VPU IP v2.7 integrated into Intel Meteor Lake
client CPUs (14th generation).

Module sources are at drivers/accel/ivpu and module name is
"intel_vpu.ko".

This patch includes only very besic functionality:
- module, PCI device and IRQ initialization
- register definitions and low level register manipulation functions
- SET/GET_PARAM ioctls
- power up without firmware

As per the documentation, if we jump into the subdirectory by

vme: move back to staging

The VME subsystem graduated from staging into a top-level subsystem in
2012, with commit db3b9e990e75 ("Staging: VME: move VME drivers out of
staging") stating:

The VME device drivers have not moved out yet due to some API
questions they are still working through, that should happen soon,
hopefully.

However, this never happened: maintenance of drivers/vme effectively
stopped in 2017, with all subsequent changes being treewide cleanups.
No hardware driver remains in staging, only the limited user-level
access, and I just removed one of the two bridge drivers and the only
remaining board.

drivers/staging/vme/devices/ was recently moved to
drivers/staging/vme_user/, but as the vme_user driver is the only one
remaining for this subsystem, it is easier to just move the remaining
three source files into this directory rather than keeping the original
hierarchy.

include/ufs/ directory. This separation makes it clear which header files
UFS drivers are allowed to include (include/ufs/*.h) and which header files
UFS drivers are not allowed to include (drivers/ufs/core/*.h).

Update the MAINTAINERS file. Add myself as a UFS reviewer.

drivers: Add hardware timestamp engine (HTE) subsystem

Some devices can timestamp system lines/signals/Buses in real-time
using the hardware counter or other hardware means which can give
finer granularity and help avoid jitter introduced by software
timestamping. To utilize such functionality, this patchset creates
HTE subsystem where devices can register themselves as providers so
that the consumers devices can request specific line from the
providers. The patch also adds compilation support in Makefile and
menu options in Kconfig.

The provider does following:
- Registers chip with the framework.
- Provides translation hook to convert logical line id.
- Provides enable/disable, request/release callbacks.
- Pushes timestamp data to HTE subsystem.

The consumer does following:
- Initializes line attribute.
- Gets HTE timestamp descriptor.
- Requests timestamp functionality.
- Puts HTE timestamp descriptor.

PM: CXL: Disable suspend

The CXL specification claims S3 support at a hardware level, but at a
system software level there are some missing pieces. Section 9.4 (CXL
2.0) rightly claims that "CXL mem adapters may need aux power to retain
memory context across S3", but there is no enumeration mechanism for the
OS to determine if a given adapter has that support. Moreover the save
state and resume image for the system may inadvertantly end up in a CXL
device that needs to be restored before the save state is recoverable.
I.e. a circular dependency that is not resolvable without a third party
save-area.

Arrange for the cxl_mem driver to fail S3 attempts. This still nominaly
allows for suspend, but requires unbinding all CXL memory devices before
the suspend to ensure the typical DRAM flow is taken. The cxl_mem unbind
flow is intended to also tear down all CXL memory regions associated
with a given cxl_memdev.

It is reasonable to assume that any device participating in a System RAM
range published in the EFI memory map is covered by aux power and
save-area outside the device itself. So this restriction can be
minimized in the future once pre-existing region enumeration support
arrives, and perhaps a spec update to clarify if the EFI memory map is
sufficent for determining the range of devices managed by
platform-firmware for S3 support.

Per Rafael, if the CXL configuration prevents suspend then it should
fail early before tasks are frozen, and mem_sleep should stop showing
'mem' as an option [1]. Effectively CXL augments the platform suspend
->valid() op since, for example, the ACPI ops are not aware of the CXL /
PCI dependencies. Given the split role of platform firmware vs OS
provisioned CXL memory it is up to the cxl_mem driver to determine if
the CXL configuration has elements that platform firmware may not be
prepared to restore.

staging: Remove the drivers for the Unisys s-Par

The Unisys sub-tree of drivers/staging contains three drivers for the
"Unisys Secure Partition" (s-Par(R)): visorhba, visorinput, visornic.

They have no maintainers, in fact the only one that is listed in
MAINTAINERS has an unreacheable email address. During 2021 and 2022
several patches have been submitted to these drivers but nobody at
Unisys cared of reviewing the changes. Probably, also the
"sparmaintainer" internal list of unisys.com is not anymore read by
interested Unisys' engineers.

Therefore, remove the drivers/staging/unisys directory and delete the
relevant entries in the MAINTAINERS, Kconfig, Makefile files, then
remove also the drivers/visorbus directory which is not anymore needed
(it contained the driver for the virtualized bus for the Unisys s-Par
firmware).

peci: Add core infrastructure

Intel processors provide access for various services designed to support
processor and DRAM thermal management, platform manageability and
processor interface tuning and diagnostics.
Those services are available via the Platform Environment Control
Interface (PECI) that provides a communication channel between the
processor and the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) or other
platform management device.

This change introduces PECI subsystem by adding the initial core module
and API for controller drivers.

virtio: always enter drivers/virtio/

When neither VIRTIO_PCI_LIB nor VIRTIO are enabled, but the alibaba
vdpa driver is, the kernel runs into a link error because the legacy
virtio module never gets built:

x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/vdpa/alibaba/eni_vdpa.o: in function `eni_vdpa_set_features':

When VIRTIO_PCI_LIB was added, it was correctly added to drivers/Makefile
as well, but for the legacy module, this is missing. Solve this by always
entering drivers/virtio during the build and letting its Makefile take
care of the individual options, rather than having a separate line for
each sub-option.
