3d45955962 [MTD] [NAND] subpage read feature as a way to increase performance.
This patch enables NAND subpage read functionality.
If upper layer drivers are requesting to read non page aligned data NAND
subpage-read functionality reads the only whose ECC regions which include
requested data when original code reads whole page.
This significantly improves performance in many cases.

Here are some digits :

UBI volume mount time
No subpage reads: 5.75 seconds
Subpage read patch: 2.42 seconds

Open/stat time for files on JFFS2 volume:
No subpage read  0m 5.36s
Subpage read     0m 2.88s

ca6f12c67e [MTD] jedec_probe: Fix SST 16-bit chip detection
The unlock_addr rework in kernel 2.6.25 breaks 16-bit SST chips.  SST
39LF160 and SST 39VF1601 are both 16-bit only chip (do not have BYTE#
pin) and new uaddr value is not correct for them.  Add
MTD_UADDR_0xAAAA_0x5555 for those chips.  Tested with SST 39VF1601
chip.

998453fbf2 [MTD] [NOR] Fix -ETIMEO errors in CFI driver
Existing CFI driver has problems with excessive writes during erase.
If CFI driver does many writes during one erase cycle we may face the
messages with -ETIMEO error on erase operation.  It may cause the
following data corruption and kernel panics.

The reason of the issue is related to specifics of suspend operation:
if we write to flash during erase, suspend operation will cost some time
to erase procedure (for P30 it could be significant). In current version of
cfi driver the problem of many suspends is partially workarounded by adding
some time reserv to any operation (8xerase_time) but if we have many writes
during one erase the problem appears.

This patch detects the suspend and resets timer if suspend occured. It
has been well verified on different chips. No problems were found.
Could you please include the patch as it is simple and fixes bad issue.

9869cd801c UBI: remove pre-sqnum images support
Before UBI got into mainline, there was a slight flash format
change - we did not have sequence number support, then added it.

We have carried full support of those ancient images till this
moment. Now the support is removed, well, not fully removed.

Now UBI will support only _clean_ old images, which were cleanly
detached last time (just before kernel upgrade). This is most
likely the case.

But we will not support unclean ancient images. Surprisingly,
this allows us to remove a big chunk of legacy code.

And the same should be true for downgrading: clean images should
downgrade fine, but unclean ones will not.

af0575bba0 i386 syscall audit fast-path
This adds fast paths for 32-bit syscall entry and exit when
TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT is set, but no other kind of syscall tracing.
These paths does not need to save and restore all registers as
the general case of tracing does.  Avoiding the iret return path
when syscall audit is enabled helps performance a lot.

15e8f348db x86_64: remove bogus optimization in sysret_signal
This short-circuit path in sysret_signal looks wrong to me.
AFAICT, in practice the branch is never taken--and if it were,
it would go wrong.  To wit, try loading a module whose init
function does set_thread_flag(TIF_IRET), and see insmod crash
(presumably with a wrong user stack pointer).

This is because the FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK work hasn't been done yet
when we jump around the call to ptregscall_common and get to
int_with_check--where it expects the user RSP,SS,CS and EFLAGS to
have been stored by FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK.

I don't think it's normally possible to get to sysret_signal with no
_TIF_DO_NOTIFY_MASK bits set anyway, so these two instructions are
already superfluous.  If it ever did happen, it is harmless to call
do_notify_resume with nothing for it to do.
