The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also
help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

Modify dw_edma_device_transfer() to also support the semantics of dma
device transfer for additional use cases involving pcitest utility as a
local initiator.
For its original use case, dw-edma supported the semantics of dma device
transfer from the perspective of a remote initiator who is located across
the PCIe bus from dma channel hardware.
To a remote initiator, DMA_DEV_TO_MEM means using a remote dma WRITE
channel to transfer from remote memory to local memory. A WRITE channel
would be employed on the remote device in order to move the contents of
remote memory to the bus destined for local memory.
To a remote initiator, DMA_MEM_TO_DEV means using a remote dma READ
channel to transfer from local memory to remote memory. A READ channel
would be employed on the remote device in order to move the contents of
local memory to the bus destined for remote memory.
>From the perspective of a local dma initiator who is co-located on the
same side of the PCIe bus as the dma channel hardware, the semantics of
dma device transfer are flipped.
To a local initiator, DMA_DEV_TO_MEM means using a local dma READ channel
to transfer from remote memory to local memory. A READ channel would be
employed on the local device in order to move the contents of remote
memory to the bus destined for local memory.
To a local initiator, DMA_MEM_TO_DEV means using a local dma WRITE channel
to transfer from local memory to remote memory. A WRITE channel would be
employed on the local device in order to move the contents of local memory
to the bus destined for remote memory.
To support local dma initiators, dw_edma_device_transfer() is modified to
now examine the direction field of struct dma_slave_config for the channel
which initiators can configure by calling dmaengine_slave_config().
If direction is configured as either DMA_DEV_TO_MEM or DMA_MEM_TO_DEV,
local initiator semantics are used. If direction is a value other than
DMA_DEV_TO_MEM nor DMA_MEM_TO_DEV, then remote initiator semantics are
used. This should maintain backward compatibility with the original use
case of dw-edma.
The dw-edma-test utility is an example of a remote initiator. From reading
its patch, dw-edma-test does not specifically set the direction field of
struct dma_slave_config. Since dw_edma_device_transfer() also does not
check the direction field of struct dma_slave_config, it seems safe to use
this convention in dw-edma to support both local and remote initiator
semantics.

Modify dw_edma_irq_request() to check if a struct msi_desc entry exists
before copying the contents of its struct msi_msg pointer.
Without this sanity check, __get_cached_msi_msg() crashes when invoked by
dw_edma_irq_request() running on a Linux-based PCIe endpoint device. MSI
interrupt are not received by PCIe endpoint devices. If irq_get_msi_desc()
returns null, then there is no cached struct msi_msg to be copied.

Decouple dw-edma-core.c from struct pci_dev as a step toward integration
of dw-edma with pci-epf-test so the latter can initiate dma operations
locally from the endpoint side. A barrier to such integration is the
dependency of dw_edma_probe() and other functions in dw-edma-core.c on
struct pci_dev.
The Synopsys DesignWare dw-edma driver was designed to run on host side
of PCIe link to initiate DMA operations remotely using eDMA channels of
PCIe controller on the endpoint side. This can be inferred from seeing
that dw-edma uses struct pci_dev and accesses hardware registers of dma
channels across the bus using BAR0 and BAR2.
The ops field of struct dw_edma in dw-edma-core.h is currenty undefined:
const struct dw_edma_core_ops *ops;
However, the kernel builds without failure even when dw-edma driver is
enabled. Instead of removing the currently undefined and usued ops field,
define struct dw_edma_core_ops and use the ops field to decouple
dw-edma-core.c from struct pci_dev.

This sorts the actual field names too, potentially causing even more
chaos and confusion at merge time if you have edited the MAINTAINERS
file. But the end result is a more consistent layout, and hopefully
it's a one-time pain minimized by doing this just before the -rc1
release.
This was entirely scripted:
./scripts/parse-maintainers.pl --input=MAINTAINERS --output=MAINTAINERS --order

They are all supposed to be sorted, but people who add new entries don't
always know the alphabet. Plus sometimes the entry names get edited,
and people don't then re-order the entry.
Let's see how painful this will be for merging purposes (the MAINTAINERS
file is often edited in various different trees), but Joe claims there's
relatively few patches in -next that touch this, and doing it just
before -rc1 is likely the best time. Fingers crossed.
This was scripted with
/scripts/parse-maintainers.pl --input=MAINTAINERS --output=MAINTAINERS
but then I also ended up manually upper-casing a few entry names that
stood out when looking at the end result.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of three patches to fix the fallout of the newly added split
lock detection feature.
It addressed the case where a KVM guest triggers a split lock #AC and
KVM reinjects it into the guest which is not prepared to handle it.
Add proper sanity checks which prevent the unconditional injection
into the guest and handles the #AC on the host side in the same way as
user space detections are handled. Depending on the detection mode it
either warns and disables detection for the task or kills the task if
the mode is set to fatal"
