EDAC, skx: Fix randconfig builds
EDAC, skx_edac: Add address translation for non-volatile DIMMs
The driver depends on the ADXL component glue and selects it. However,
ADXL itself implicitly depends on ACPI and in nonsensical randconfig
builds like this:
# CONFIG_ACPI is not set
CONFIG_ACPI_ADXL=y
where ACPI is not enabled, the build fails with:
drivers/edac/skx_edac.o: In function `skx_mce_check_error':
skx_edac.c:(.text+0xab): undefined reference to `adxl_decode'
drivers/edac/skx_edac.o: In function `skx_init':
skx_edac.c:(.init.text+0x8bf): undefined reference to `adxl_get_component_names'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
Add stubs for that case so that the build succeeds. CONFIG_ACPI=n
doesn't make any sense for real configurations but this fix will at
least silence randconfig builds.

Pull ARM SoC driver updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"The most noteworthy SoC driver changes this time include:
- The TEE subsystem gains an in-kernel interface to access the TEE
from device drivers.
- The reset controller subsystem gains a driver for the Qualcomm
Snapdragon 845 Power Domain Controller.
- The Xilinx Zynq platform now has a firmware interface for its
platform management unit. This contains a firmware "ioctl"
interface that was a little controversial at first, but the version
we merged solved that by not exposing arbitrary firmware calls to
user space.
- The Amlogic Meson platform gains a "canvas" driver that is used for
video processing and shared between different high-level drivers.
The rest is more of the usual, mostly related to SoC specific power
management support and core drivers in drivers/soc:
- Several Renesas SoCs (RZ/G1N, RZ/G2M, R-Car V3M, RZ/A2M) gain new
features related to power and reset control.
- The Mediatek mt8183 and mt6765 SoC platforms gain support for their
respective power management chips.
- A new driver for NXP i.MX8, which need a firmware interface for
power management.
- The SCPI firmware interface now contains support estimating power
usage of performance states
- The NVIDIA Tegra "pmc" driver gains a few new features, in
particular a pinctrl interface for configuring the pads.
- Lots of small changes for Qualcomm, in particular the "smem" device
driver.
- Some cleanups for the TI OMAP series related to their sysc
controller.
Additional cleanups and bugfixes in SoC specific drivers include the
Meson, Keystone, NXP, AT91, Sunxi, Actions, and Tegra platforms"

"A bit bigger than normal as I've been busy this cycle.
There's a few things with dependencies and a few things subsystem

The fixes from Johan didn't get into linux-next, but they've been
waiting for some time now and they are what's left of what subsystem
maintainers didn't pick up.
Summary:
- Sync dtc with upstream version v1.4.7-14-gc86da84d30e4
- Work to get rid of direct accesses to struct device_node name and
type pointers in preparation for removing them. New helpers for
parsing DT cpu nodes and conversions to use the helpers. printk
conversions to %pOFn for printing DT node names. Most went thru
subystem trees, so this is the remainder.
- Fixes to DT child node lookups to actually be restricted to child
nodes instead of treewide.
- Refactoring of dtb targets out of arch code. This makes the support
more uniform and enables building all dtbs on c6x, microblaze, and
powerpc.
- Various DT binding updates for Renesas r8a7744 SoC
- Vendor prefixes for Facebook, OLPC

Use the for_each_of_cpu_node iterator to iterate over cpu nodes. This
has the side effect of defaulting to iterating using "cpu" node names in
preference to the deprecated (for FDT) device_type == "cpu".
The error messages are removed in the process as it's not the driver's
job to be checking cpu nodes. Any problems with cpu nodes should be
noticed by the architecture code.

The altera edac driver passes a token from a DT resource as
resource_size_t into an SMC call, but casts it to an __iomem pointer and
then a plain void pointer inbetween, mixing three or four incompatible
types in the process. The compiler complains about one of the
conversions:
drivers/edac/altera_edac.c: In function 'altr_init_a10_ecc_block':
drivers/edac/altera_edac.c:1053:10: error: cast to pointer from integer of \
different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]

drivers/edac/altera_edac.c:2062:10: error: cast to pointer from integer of \
different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]
base = (void __iomem *)res.start;
Using a static checker probably also notices the __iomem cast. Solving
this properly isn't trivial, but simply casting to a 'uintptr_t' instead
of 'void __iomem *' makes it less wrong and should avoid the warnings.

sb_edac sometimes reports the wrong DIMM for a memory error found by
the patrol scrubber. That is because the hardware provides only a 4KB
page-aligned address for the error case.
This means that the EDAC driver will point at the DIMM matching offset
0x0 in the 4KB page, but because of interleaving across channels and
ranks, the actual DIMM involved may be different if the error is on some
other cache line within the page.
Therefore, reconstruct the socket/iMC/channel information from the "mce"
structure passed to the EDAC driver. The DIMM cannot be determined, so
pass "dimm=-1" to the EDAC core. It will report that all the DIMMs on
that channel may be affected.

Users of the mce_register_decode_chain() are called for every logged
error. EDAC drivers should check:
1) Is this a memory error? [bit 7 in status register]
2) Is there a valid address? [bit 58 in status register]
3) Is the address a system address? [bitfield 8:6 in misc register]
The sb_edac driver performed test "1" twice. Waited far too long to
perform check "2". Didn't do check "3" at all.
Fix it by moving the test for valid address from
sbridge_mce_output_error() into sbridge_mce_check_error() and add a test
for the type immediately after. Delete the redundant check for the type
of the error from sbridge_mce_output_error().

Tony reported seeing
"Internal error: Can't find EDAC structure"
when injecting correctable errors due to the fact that ghes_edac would
still load even if the whitelist won't hit. Drop the pr_err() in
ghes_edac_report_mem_error() for now due to the hacky way how ghes_edac
depends on ghes.c.
While at it, make ghes_edac_register() return an error if it doesn't hit
in the whitelist as it is the only sensible thing to do in that
situation.
Furthermore, move the call to it to happen last in ghes_probe() so that
GHES initializing properly does not depend on ghes_edac init at all
as latter is only reporting errors and not required for GHES's proper
functioning.

Pul removal of obsolete architecture ports from Arnd Bergmann:
"This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv,
m32r, metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device
drivers.
I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to
ensure that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely
unused in mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the
respective ports to start with and getting them included in upstream,
but also saw no point in keeping the port alive without any users.
In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company in
charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It
seems that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not
used the custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In
contrast, CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively
maintained kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.
[ See the new nds32 port merged in the previous commit for the next
generation of "one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU
microarchitecture and a software ecosystem" - Linus ]
The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I
made sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile,
mn10300, and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old
kernels, but those products will never be updated to newer kernel
releases.
After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
gcc support:
- unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.
- openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing
their support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first
place. They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some
degree, but complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1.
Csky posted their first kernel patch set last week, their situation
will be similar
[ Palmer Dabbelt points out that RISC-V support is in mainline gcc
since gcc-7, although gcc-7.3.0 is the recommended minimum - Linus ]"
