      firmware: use 'kernel_read()' to read firmware into kernel buffer · ce57e981
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      

Fengguang correctly points out that the firmware reading should not use
vfs_read(), since the buffer is in kernel space.

The vfs_read() just happened to work for kernel threads, but sparse
warns about the incorrect address spaces, and it's definitely incorrect
and could fail for other users of the firmware loading.

      Merge tag 'remoteproc-for-3.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ohad/remoteproc · 4d6d3672
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Pull remoteproc update from Ohad Ben-Cohen:

 - Remoteproc Recovery - by Fernando Guzman Lugo

   When a remote processor crash is detected, this mechanism will remove
   all virtio children devices, wait until their drivers let go, hard
   reset the remote processor and reload the firmware (resulting in the
   relevant virtio children devices re-added).  Essentially the entire
   software stack is reset, together with the relevant hardware, so
   users don't have to reset the entire phone.

 - STE Modem driver is added - by Sjur Brændeland

 - OMAP DSP boot address support is added - by Juan Gutierrez

 - A handful of fixes/cleanups - Sjur Brændeland, Dan Carpenter, Emil
   Goode
