2010-05-21serial: Add driver for the Altera JTAG UARTTobias Klauser
Add an UART driver for the JTAG UART component available as a SOPC (System on Programmable Chip) component for Altera FPGAs. Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2010-05-21serial: timbuart: make sure last byte is sent when port is closedRichard Röjfors
Fix a problem in early versions of the FPGA IP. In certain situations the IP reports that the FIFO is empty, but a byte is still clocked out. If a flush is done at that point the currently clocked byte is canceled. This causes incompatibilities with the upper layers when a port is closed, it waits until the FIFO is empty and then closes the port. During close the FIFO is flushed -> the last byte is not sent properly. Now the FIFO is only flushed if it is reported to be non-empty. Which makes the currently clocked out byte to finish.

2010-05-21serial: uartlite: move from byte accesses to word accessesJohn Linn
Byte accesses for I/O devices in Xilinx IP is going to be less desired in the future such that the driver is being changed to use 32 bit accesses. This change facilitates using the uartlite IP over a PCIe bus which only allows 32 bit accesses.

2010-05-21HID: fix up 'EMBEDDED' mess in KconfigJiri Kosina
The whole point of making some of the drivers automatically selected unless 'EMBEDDED' was to handle quirks transparently after their separation from the generic core. Over time, some of the later-added quirks grew into more standalone drivers, implementing non-trivial features a being larger than a few bytes of code. In addition to that, some of the standalone drivers don't make sense for 99.9% of the users, as they are very specific to rare devices. Therefore build by default in only those drivers which - we historically used to support even before quirk separation from the core code - are isolated enough and likely to hit quite large portion of the users anyway (Microsoft, Logitech) Reported-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
2010-05-21powerpc: Remove unused 'protect4gb' boot parameterFUJITA Tomonori

In 2008, the IOMMU was fixed to use the boundary_mask parameter per device properly. So 'protect4gb' workaround was removed (the 383af9525bb27f927511874f6306247ec13f1c28).

2010-05-21powerpc/numa: Set a smaller value for RECLAIM_DISTANCE to enable zone reclaimAnton Blanchard
I noticed /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode was 0 on a ppc64 NUMA box. It gets enabled via this: /* * If another node is sufficiently far away then it is better * to reclaim pages in a zone before going off node. */ if (distance > RECLAIM_DISTANCE) zone_reclaim_mode = 1; Since we use the default value of 20 for REMOTE_DISTANCE and 20 for RECLAIM_DISTANCE it never kicks in. The local to remote bandwidth ratios can be quite large on System p machines so it makes sense for us to reclaim clean pagecache locally before going off node. The patch below sets a smaller value for RECLAIM_DISTANCE and thus enables zone reclaim.

2010-05-21powerpc: Use smt_snooze_delay=-1 to always busy loopAnton Blanchard
Right now if we want to busy loop and not give up any time to the hypervisor we put a very large value into smt_snooze_delay. This is sometimes useful when running a single partition and you want to avoid any latencies due to the hypervisor or CPU power state transitions. While this works, it's a bit ugly - how big a number is enough now we have NO_HZ and can be idle for a very long time. The patch below makes smt_snooze_delay signed, and a negative value means loop forever: echo -1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/smt_snooze_delay This change shouldn't affect the existing userspace tools (eg ppc64_cpu), but I'm cc-ing Nathan just to be sure.

2010-05-21powerpc/kdump: Fix race in kdump shutdownMichael Neuling
When we are crashing, the crashing/primary CPU IPIs the secondaries to turn off IRQs, go into real mode and wait in kexec_wait. While this is happening, the primary tears down all the MMU maps. Unfortunately the primary doesn't check to make sure the secondaries have entered real mode before doing this. On PHYP machines, the secondaries can take a long time shutting down the IRQ controller as RTAS calls are need. These RTAS calls need to be serialised which resilts in the secondaries contending in lock_rtas() and hence taking a long time to shut down. We've hit this on large POWER7 machines, where some secondaries are still waiting in lock_rtas(), when the primary tears down the HPTEs. This patch makes sure all secondaries are in real mode before the primary tears down the MMU. It uses the new kexec_state entry in the paca. It times out if the secondaries don't reach real mode after 10sec. Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-05-21powerpc/kexec: Fix race in kexec shutdownMichael Neuling
In kexec_prepare_cpus, the primary CPU IPIs the secondary CPUs to kexec_smp_down(). kexec_smp_down() calls kexec_smp_wait() which sets the hw_cpu_id() to -1. The primary does this while leaving IRQs on which means the primary can take a timer interrupt which can lead to the IPIing one of the secondary CPUs (say, for a scheduler re-balance) but since the secondary CPU now has a hw_cpu_id = -1, we IPI CPU -1... Kaboom! We are hitting this case regularly on POWER7 machines. There is also a second race, where the primary will tear down the MMU mappings before knowing the secondaries have entered real mode. Also, the secondaries are clearing out any pending IPIs before guaranteeing that no more will be received. This changes kexec_prepare_cpus() so that we turn off IRQs in the primary CPU much earlier. It adds a paca flag to say that the secondaries have entered the kexec_smp_down() IPI and turned off IRQs, rather than overloading hw_cpu_id with -1. This new paca flag is again used to in indicate when the secondaries has entered real mode. It also ensures that all CPUs have their IRQs off before we clear out any pending IPI requests (in kexec_cpu_down()) to ensure there are no trailing IPIs left unacknowledged.

2010-05-21powerpc/kexec: Speedup kexec hash PTE tear downMichael Neuling
Currently for kexec the PTE tear down on 1TB segment systems normally requires 3 hcalls for each PTE removal. On a machine with 32GB of memory it can take around a minute to remove all the PTEs. This optimises the path so that we only remove PTEs that are valid. It also uses the read 4 PTEs at once HCALL. For the common case where a PTEs is invalid in a 1TB segment, this turns the 3 HCALLs per PTE down to 1 HCALL per 4 PTEs. This gives an > 10x speedup in kexec times on PHYP, taking a 32GB machine from around 1 minute down to a few seconds.
