[MTD] make dataflash write-verify be optional
This adds a WRITE_VERIFY Kconfig option to the DataFlash driver,
closely mirroring the similar NAND and ONENAND options, giving
an option to disable some code that's currently always enabled.
Removing this step probably saves a millisecond or so per page
when writing data, which will add up quickly since these pages
are small (the largest is 1 KiB). It doesn't seem to add a
lot in terms of reliability, and wouldn't detect errors which
crop up when transferring data to the on-chip SRAM buffer.

[MTD] [NOR] cfi_cmdset_0001: Timeouts for erase, write and unlock operations
Timeouts are currently given by the typical operation time times 8.
It works in the general well-behaved case but not when an erase block is
failing. For erase operations, it seems that a failing erase block will
keep the device state machine in erasing state until the vendor
specified maximum timeout period has passed. By this time the driver
would have long since timed out, left erasing state and attempted
further operations which all fail. This patch implements timeouts using
values from the CFI Query structure when available.
The patch also sets a longer timeout for locking operations. The current
value used for locking/unlocking given by 1000000/HZ microseconds is too
short for devices like J3 and J5 Strataflash which have a typical clear
lock-bits time of 0.5 seconds.

[MTD] [NOR] Add qry_mode_on()/qry_omde_off() to deal with odd chips
There are some CFI chips which require non standard procedures to get

different modes till QRY will be read. This patch introduce two new
functions qry_mode_on qry_mode_off. qry_mode_on tries different commands
in order switch chip into QRY mode.
So if we have one more "odd" chip - we just could add several lines to
qry_mode_on. Also using these functions remove unnecessary code
duplicaton in porbe procedure.
Currently there are two "odd" cases
1. Some old intel chips which require 0xFF before 0x98

kernel/audit.c control character detection is off-by-one
Hello,
According to my understanding there is an off-by-one bug in the
function:
audit_string_contains_control()
in:
kernel/audit.c
Patch is included.
I do not know from how many places the function is called from, but for
example, SELinux Access Vector Cache tries to log untrusted filenames via
call path:
If audit_string_contains_control() detects control characters, then the
string is hex-encoded. But the hex=0x7f dec=127, DEL-character, is not
detected.
I guess this could have at least some minor security implications, since a
user can create a filename with 0x7f in it, causing logged filename to
possibly look different when someone reads it on the terminal.

This patch was only tested on a MACH_SAM9_L9260, as this is the

The iov_iter_advance() function would look at the iov->iov_len entry
even though it might have iterated over the whole array, and iov was
pointing past the end. This would cause DEBUG_PAGEALLOC to trigger a
kernel page fault if the allocation was at the end of a page, and the
next page was unallocated.
The quick fix is to just change the order of the tests: check that there
is any iovec data left before we check the iov entry itself.

only an error if the 'romfs_copyfrom()' routine isn't able to fill the
data that is supposed to be there.
Most of the patch is really just re-organizing the code a bit, and using
separate variables for the error value and for how much of the page we
actually filled from the filesystem.

[MIPS] kgdb: add arch support for the kernel's kgdb core
The new kgdb architecture specific handler registers and unregisters
dynamically for exceptions depending on when you configure a kgdb I/O
driver.
Aside from initializing the exceptions earlier in the boot process,
kgdb should have no impact on a device when it is compiled in so long
as an I/O module is not configured for use.
There have been quite a number of contributors during the existence of
this patch (see arch/mips/kernel/kgdb.c). Most recently Jason
re-wrote the mips kgdb logic to use the die notification handlers.

[MIPS] kgdb: Remove existing implementation
This patch explicitly removes the kgdb implementation, for mips which
is intended to be followed by a patch that adds a kgdb implementation
for MIPS that makes use of the kgdb core in the kernel.
