NMI interrupts mask ALL interrupts before calling the handler,
so we need to unmask NMIs according to the value handle_nmi() returns.
If it returns zero, the NMIs should be re-enabled; if it returns
a non-zero error, the NMIs should be disabled.

This patch connects IPU and display encoder (HDMI, LVDS, MIPI)
device tree nodes, as well as parallel displays on the DISP0

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/video-interfaces.txt
The IPU ports correspond to the two display interfaces. The
order of endpoints in the ports is arbitrary.
Each encoder with an associated input multiplexer has multiple
input ports in the device tree. The order and reg property of
the ports must correspond to the multiplexer input order.
Since the imx-drm node now only needs to contain links to the
display interfaces, it can be moved to the SoC dtsi level. At

This patch adds support to find the involved components connected to
the IPU display interface ports using the OF graph bindings documented
in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/video-interfaces.txt.
It makes use of the of_graph (formerly v4l2_of) parsing helpers and
thus depends on the patch that moves those out to drivers/of.
Each display interface needs to have an associated port node in the
device tree. We can associate this node with the crtc platform device
and use it to find the crtc corresponding to a given port node instead
of using a combination of parent device node and id number, as before.
Explicitly converting the void* cookie to the port device tree node
allows to get rid of the ipu_id and di_id fields. The multiplexer
setting on i.MX6 now can be obtained from the port id (reg property)
in the device tree.
The imx-drm node now needs a ports property that contains phandles
to each of the IPU display interface port nodes. From there, all
attached encoders are scanned and enabled encoders are added to a
waiting list.
The bind order makes sure that once all components are probed, crtcs
are bound before encoders, so that imx_drm_encoder_parse_of can be
called from the encoder bind callbacks.
For parsing the OF graph, temporary copies of the V4L2 OF graph
helpers are used, that can be removed again once those are available
at a generic place.

a receiving workqueue is introduced.
This modification also enhanced the overall throughput as the
benefits of reducing interrupt occurrence.
This work was derived from previous work:
u_ether: move hardware transmit to RX workqueue.
Which should be base on codeaurora's work.
However, the benchmark on my platform shows the throughput
with workqueue is slightly better than NAPI.

Peter Hurley noticed that since a2c1c57be8 ("workqueue: consider
work function when searching for busy work items"), a work item which
gets assigned a different work function would break out of the
non-reentrancy guarantee as workqueue would consider it a different
work item.
This is fragile and extremely subtle. PREPARE_[DELAYED_]WORK() have
never been used widely and its semantics has always been somewhat
iffy. If the work item is known not to be on queue when
PREPARE_WORK() is called, there's no difference from using
INIT_WORK(). If the work item may be queued at the time of
PREPARE_WORK(), we can't really tell whether the old or new function
will be executed the next time.
We really don't want this level of subtlety in workqueue interface for
such marginal use cases. The previous patches converted all existing
users away from PREPARE_[DELAYED_]WORK(). Let's remove them.

Ftrace modifies function calls using Int3 breakpoints on x86.
The breakpoints are handled only when the patching is in progress.
If something goes wrong, there is a recovery code that removes
the breakpoints. If this fails, the system might get silently
rebooted when a remaining break is not handled or an invalid
instruction is proceed.
We should BUG() when the breakpoint could not be removed. Otherwise,
the system silently crashes when the function finishes the Int3
handler is disabled.
Note that we need to modify remove_breakpoint() to return non-zero
value only when there is an error. The return value was ignored before,
so it does not cause any troubles.

Note there is also "return 0" in every ftrace_dyn_arch_init. So it is
enough to check the retval and remove all the indirect sets of data on

Tracepoints were made to allow enabling a tracepoint in a module before that
module was loaded. When a tracepoint is enabled and it does not exist, the
name is stored and will be enabled when the tracepoint is created.
The problem with this approach is that when a tracepoint is enabled when
it expects to be there, it gives no warning that it does not exist.
To add salt to the wound, if a module is added and sets the FORCED flag, which
can happen if it isn't signed properly, the tracepoint code will not enabled
the tracepoints, but they will be created in the debugfs system! When a user
goes to enable the tracepoint, the tracepoint code will not see it existing
and will think it is to be enabled later AND WILL NOT GIVE A WARNING.
The tracing will look like it succeeded but will actually be doing nothing.
This will cause lots of confusion and headaches for developers trying to
figure out why they are not seeing their tracepoints.

The functions that assign the contents for the ftrace events are
defined by the TRACE_EVENT() macros. Each event has its own unique
way to assign data to its buffer. When you have over 500 events,
that means there's 500 functions assigning data uniquely for each
event (not really that many, as DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and multiple
DEFINE_EVENT()s will only need a single function).
By making helper functions in the core kernel to do some of the work
instead, we can shrink the size of the kernel down a bit.
With a kernel configured with 502 events, the change in size was:
text data bss dec hex filename
12987390 1913504 9785344 24686238 178ae9e /tmp/vmlinux
12959102 1913504 9785344 24657950 178401e /tmp/vmlinux.patched
That's a total of 28288 bytes, which comes down to 56 bytes per event.

This can add up quite a bit when you have over 500 events.
By making helper functions in the core kernel to do the work
instead, we can shrink the size of the kernel down a bit.
With a kernel configured with 502 events, the change in size was:
text data bss dec hex filename
12990946 1913568 9785344 24689858 178bcc2 /tmp/vmlinux
12987390 1913504 9785344 24686238 178ae9e /tmp/vmlinux.patched
That's a total of 3556 bytes, which comes down to 7 bytes per event.
Although it's not much, this code is just called at initialization of
the events.
