2010-05-04i2c-core: Use per-adapter userspace device listsJean Delvare
Using a single list for all userspace devices leads to a dead lock on multiplexed buses in some circumstances (mux chip instantiated from userspace). This is solved by using a separate list for each bus segment. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Acked-by: Michael Lawnick <ml.lawnick@gmx.de>
2010-05-04i2c: Fix probing of FSC hardware monitoring chipsJean Delvare
Some FSC hardware monitoring chips (Syleus at least) doesn't like quick writes we typically use to probe for I2C chips. Use a regular byte read instead for the address they live at (0x73). These are the only known chips living at this address on PC systems. For clarity, this fix should not be needed for kernels 2.6.30 and later, as we started instantiating the hwmon devices explicitly based on DMI data. Still, this fix is valuable in the following two cases: * Support for recent FSC chips on older kernels. The DMI-based device instantiation is more difficult to backport than the device support itself. * Case where the DMI-based device instantiation fails, whatever the reason. We fall back to probing in that case, so it should work.

After discovering that a lot of i2c-drivers leave the pointer to their clientdata dangling, it was decided to let the core handle this issue.

2010-05-03net: ep93xx_eth stops receiving packetsDavid S. Miller
Receiving small packet(s) in a fast pace leads to not receiving any packets at all after some time. After ethernet packet(s) arrived the receive descriptor is incremented by the number of frames processed. If another packet arrives while processing, this is processed in another call of ep93xx_rx. This second call leads that too many receive descriptors getting released. This fix increments, even in these case, the right number of processed receive descriptors.

Use correct bit positions in DM_SHARED_CTRL register for writes. Michael Planes recently encountered a 'KY-RS9600 USB-LAN converter', which came with a driver CD containing a Linux driver. This driver turns out to be a copy of dm9601.c with symbols renamed and my copyright stripped. That aside, it did contain 1 functional change in dm_write_shared_word(), and after checking the datasheet the original value was indeed wrong (read versus write bits). On Michaels HW, this change bumps receive speed from ~30KB/s to ~900KB/s. On other devices the difference is less spectacular, but still significant (~30%).

2010-05-03ppp_generic: handle non-linear skbs when passing them to pppdSimon Arlott
Frequently when using PPPoE with an interface MTU greater than 1500, the skb is likely to be non-linear. If the skb needs to be passed to pppd then the skb data must be read correctly. The previous commit fixes an issue with accidentally sending skbs to pppd based on an invalid read of the protocol type. When that error occurred pppd was reading invalid skb data too.

This occurs frequently when using PPPoE with an interface MTU greater than 1500 because the skb is more likely to be non-linear. The next 2 bytes need to be pulled in ppp_input().

2010-05-03perf: record TRACE_INFO only if using tracepoints and SAMPLE_RAWTom Zanussi
The current perf code implicitly assumes SAMPLE_RAW means tracepoints are being used, but doesn't check for that. It happily records the TRACE_INFO even if SAMPLE_RAW is used without tracepoints, but when the perf data is read it won't go any further when it finds TRACE_INFO but no tracepoints, and displays misleading errors. This adds a check for both in perf-record, and won't record TRACE_INFO unless both are true. This at least allows perf report -D to dump raw events, and avoids triggering a misleading error condition in perf trace. It doesn't actually enable the non-tracepoint raw events to be displayed in perf trace, since perf trace currently only deals with tracepoint events.

2010-05-02perf: add perf-inject builtinTom Zanussi
Currently, perf 'live mode' writes build-ids at the end of the session, which isn't actually useful for processing live mode events. What would be better would be to have the build-ids sent before any of the samples that reference them, which can be done by processing the event stream and retrieving the build-ids on the first hit. Doing that in perf-record itself, however, is off-limits. This patch introduces perf-inject, which does the same job while leaving perf-record untouched. Normal mode perf still records the build-ids at the end of the session as it should, but for live mode, perf-inject can be injected in between the record and report steps e.g.: perf record -o - ./hackbench 10 | perf inject -v -b | perf report -v -i - perf-inject reads a perf-record event stream and repipes it to stdout. At any point the processing code can inject other events into the event stream - in this case build-ids (-b option) are read and injected as needed into the event stream. Build-ids are just the first user of perf-inject - potentially anything that needs userspace processing to augment the trace stream with additional information could make use of this facility.

2010-05-01hw-breakpoints: Get the number of available registers on boot dynamicallyFrederic Weisbecker
The breakpoint generic layer assumes that archs always know in advance the static number of address registers available to host breakpoints through the HBP_NUM macro. However this is not true for every archs. For example Arm needs to get this information dynamically to handle the compatiblity between different versions. To solve this, this patch proposes to drop the static HBP_NUM macro and let the arch provide the number of available slots through a new hw_breakpoint_slots() function. For archs that have CONFIG_HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS selected, it will be called once as the number of registers fits for instruction and data breakpoints together. For the others it will be called first to get the number of instruction breakpoint registers and another time to get the data breakpoint registers, the targeted type is given as a parameter of hw_breakpoint_slots().

2010-05-01hw-breakpoints: Handle breakpoint weight in allocation constraintsFrederic Weisbecker
Depending on their nature and on what an arch supports, breakpoints may consume more than one address register. For example a simple absolute address match usually only requires one address register. But an address range match may consume two registers. Currently our slot allocation constraints, that tend to reflect the limited arch's resources, always consider that a breakpoint consumes one slot. Then provide a way for archs to tell us the weight of a breakpoint through a new hw_breakpoint_weight() helper. This weight will be computed against the generic allocation constraints instead of a constant value.

2010-05-01hw-breakpoints: Separate constraint space for data and instruction breakpointsFrederic Weisbecker
There are two outstanding fashions for archs to implement hardware breakpoints. The first is to separate breakpoint address pattern definition space between data and instruction breakpoints. We then have typically distinct instruction address breakpoint registers and data address breakpoint registers, delivered with separate control registers for data and instruction breakpoints as well. This is the case of PowerPc and ARM for example. The second consists in having merged breakpoint address space definition between data and instruction breakpoint. Address registers can host either instruction or data address and the access mode for the breakpoint is defined in a control register. This is the case of x86 and Super H. This patch adds a new CONFIG_HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS config that archs can select if they belong to the second case. Those will have their slot allocation merged for instructions and data breakpoints. The others will have a separate slot tracking between data and instruction breakpoints.

2010-05-01hw-breakpoints: Change/Enforce some breakpoints policiesFrederic Weisbecker
The current policies of breakpoints in x86 and SH are the following: - task bound breakpoints can only break on userspace addresses - cpu wide breakpoints can only break on kernel addresses The former rule prevents ptrace breakpoints to be set to trigger on kernel addresses, which is good. But as a side effect, we can't breakpoint on kernel addresses for task bound breakpoints. The latter rule simply makes no sense, there is no reason why we can't set breakpoints on userspace while performing cpu bound profiles. We want the following new policies: - task bound breakpoint can set userspace address breakpoints, with no particular privilege required. - task bound breakpoints can set kernelspace address breakpoints but must be privileged to do that. - cpu bound breakpoints can do what they want as they are privileged already. To implement these new policies, this patch checks if we are dealing with a kernel address breakpoint, if so and if the exclude_kernel parameter is set, we tell the user that the breakpoint is invalid, which makes a good generic ptrace protection. If we don't have exclude_kernel, ensure the user has the right privileges as kernel breakpoints are quite sensitive (risk of trap recursion attacks and global performance impacts).

2010-05-01hw-breakpoints: Check disabled breakpoints againFrederic Weisbecker
We stopped checking disabled breakpoints because we weren't allowing breakpoints on NULL addresses. And gdb tends to set NULL addresses on inactive breakpoints. But refusing NULL addresses was actually a regression that has been fixed now. There is no reason anymore to not validate inactive breakpoint settings.

2010-05-01hw-breakpoints: Tag ptrace breakpoint as exclude_kernelFrederic Weisbecker
Tag ptrace breakpoints with the exclude_kernel attribute set. This will make it easier to set generic policies on breakpoints, when it comes to ensure nobody unpriviliged try to breakpoint on the kernel.

2010-05-01perf: Fix warning while reading ring buffer headersFrederic Weisbecker
commit e9e94e3bd862d31777335722e747e97d9821bc1d "perf trace: Ignore "overwrite" field if present in /events/header_page" makes perf trace launching spurious warnings about unexpected tokens read: Warning: Error: expected type 6 but read 4 This change tries to handle the overcommit field in the header_page file whenever this field is present or not. The problem is that if this field is not present, we try to find it and give up in the middle of the line when we realize we are actually dealing with another field, which is the "data" one. And this failure abandons the file pointer in the middle of the "data" description line: field: u64 timestamp; offset:0; size:8; signed:0; field: local_t commit; offset:8; size:8; signed:1; field: char data; offset:16; size:4080; signed:1; ^^^ Here What happens next is that we want to read this line to parse the data field, but we fail because the pointer is not in the beginning of the line. We could probably fix that by rewinding the pointer. But in fact we don't care much about these headers that only concern the ftrace ring-buffer. We don't use them from perf. Just skip this part of perf.data, but don't remove it from recording to stay compatible with olders perf.data Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
