2009-11-05HID: fixup quirk for NCR devicesJiri Kosina
NCR devices are terminally broken by design -- they claim themselves to contain proper input applications in their HID report descriptor, but behave very badly if treated in standard way. According to NCR developers, the devices get confused when queried for reports in a standard way, rendering them unusable. NCR is shipping application called "RPSL" that can be used to drive these devices through hiddev, under the assumption that in-kernel driver doesn't perform initial report query. If it does, neither in-kernel nor hiddev-based driver can operate with these devices any more. Introduce a quirk that skips the report query for all NCR devices. The previous NOGET quirk was wrong and had been introduced because I misunderstood the nature of brokenness of these devices. Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>

Allow the architecture to request a normal jiffy tick when the system goes idle and tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick is called . On s390 the hook is used to prevent the system going fully idle if there has been an interrupt other than a clock comparator interrupt since the last wakeup. On s390 the HiperSockets response time for 1 connection ping-pong goes down from 42 to 34 microseconds. The CPU cost decreases by 27%.

2009-11-04PCI: add pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot functionAndrew Patterson
Added the pci_get_domain_and_slot_function which is analogous to pci_get_bus_and_slot. It returns a pci_dev given a domain (segment) number, bus number, and devnr. Like pci_get_bus_and_slot, pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot holds a reference to the returned pci_dev. Converted pci_get_bus_and_slot to a wrapper that calls pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot with the domain hard-coded to 0. This routine was patterned off code suggested by Bjorn Helgaas.

2009-11-04PCI: PCIe AER: honor ACPI HEST FIRMWARE FIRST modeMatt Domsch
Feedback from Hidetoshi Seto and Kenji Kaneshige incorporated. This correctly handles PCI-X bridges, PCIe root ports and endpoints, and prints debug messages when invalid/reserved types are found in the HEST. PCI devices not in domain/segment 0 are not represented in HEST, thus will be ignored. Today, the PCIe Advanced Error Reporting (AER) driver attaches itself to every PCIe root port for which BIOS reports it should, via ACPI _OSC. However, _OSC alone is insufficient for newer BIOSes. Part of ACPI 4.0 is the new APEI (ACPI Platform Error Interfaces) which is a way for OS and BIOS to handshake over which errors for which components each will handle. One table in ACPI 4.0 is the Hardware Error Source Table (HEST), where BIOS can define that errors for certain PCIe devices (or all devices), should be handled by BIOS ("Firmware First mode"), rather than be handled by the OS. Dell PowerEdge 11G server BIOS defines Firmware First mode in HEST, so that it may manage such errors, log them to the System Event Log, and possibly take other actions. The aer driver should honor this, and not attach itself to devices noted as such. Furthermore, Kenji Kaneshige reminded us to disallow changing the AER registers when respecting Firmware First mode. Platform firmware is expected to manage these, and if changes to them are allowed, it could break that firmware's behavior. The HEST parsing code may be replaced in the future by a more feature-rich implementation. This patch provides the minimum needed to prevent breakage until that implementation is available.

2009-11-04signal: Fix alternate signal stack checkSebastian Andrzej Siewior
All architectures in the kernel increment/decrement the stack pointer before storing values on the stack. On architectures which have the stack grow down sas_ss_sp == sp is not on the alternate signal stack while sas_ss_sp + sas_ss_size == sp is on the alternate signal stack. On architectures which have the stack grow up sas_ss_sp == sp is on the alternate signal stack while sas_ss_sp + sas_ss_size == sp is not on the alternate signal stack. The current implementation fails for architectures which have the stack grow down on the corner case where sas_ss_sp == sp.This was reported as Debian bug #544905 on AMD64. Simplified test case: http://download.breakpoint.cc/tc-sig-stack.c The test case creates the following stack scenario: 0xn0300 stack top 0xn0200 alt stack pointer top (when switching to alt stack) 0xn01ff alt stack end 0xn0100 alt stack start == stack pointer If the signal is sent the stack pointer is pointing to the base address of the alt stack and the kernel erroneously decides that it has already switched to the alternate stack because of the current check for "sp - sas_ss_sp < sas_ss_size" On parisc (stack grows up) the scenario would be: 0xn0200 stack pointer 0xn01ff alt stack end 0xn0100 alt stack start = alt stack pointer base (when switching to alt stack) 0xn0000 stack base This is handled correctly by the current implementation. [ tglx: Modified for archs which have the stack grow up (parisc) which would fail with the correct implementation for stack grows down.

2009-11-04PCI: acs p2p upsteram forwarding enablingAllen Kay
Note: dom0 checking in v4 has been separated out into 2/2. This patch enables P2P upstream forwarding in ACS capable PCIe switches. It solves two potential problems in virtualization environment where a PCIe device is assigned to a guest domain using a HW iommu such as VT-d: 1) Unintentional failure caused by guest physical address programmed into the device's DMA that happens to match the memory address range of other downstream ports in the same PCIe switch. This causes the PCI transaction to go to the matching downstream port instead of go to the root complex to get translated by VT-d as it should be. 2) Malicious guest software intentionally attacks another downstream PCIe device by programming the DMA address into the assigned device that matches memory address range of the downstream PCIe port. We are in process of implementing device filtering software in KVM/XEN management software to allow device assignment of PCIe devices behind a PCIe switch only if it has ACS capability and with the P2P upstream forwarding bits enabled. This patch is intended to work for both KVM and Xen environments.

2009-11-04pccard: configure CLS on attachTejun Heo
For non hotplug PCI devices, the system firmware usually configures CLS correctly. For pccard devices system firmware can't do it and Linux PCI layer doesn't do it either. Unfortunately this leads to poor performance for certain devices (sata_sil). Unless MWI, which requires separate configuration, is to be used, CLS doesn't affect correctness, so the configuration should be harmless. This patch makes pci_set_cacheline_size() always built and export it and make pccard call it during attach. Please note that some other PCI hotplug drivers (shpchp and pciehp) also configure CLS on hotplug.

2009-11-04PCI: determine CLS more intelligentlyJesse Barnes
Till now, CLS has been determined either by arch code or as L1_CACHE_BYTES. Only x86 and ia64 set CLS explicitly and x86 doesn't always get it right. On most configurations, the chance is that firmware configures the correct value during boot. This patch makes pci_init() determine CLS by looking at what firmware has configured. It scans all devices and if all non-zero values agree, the value is used. If none is configured or there is a disagreement, pci_dfl_cache_line_size is used. arch can set the dfl value (via PCI_CACHE_LINE_BYTES or pci_dfl_cache_line_size) or override the actual one. ia64, x86 and sparc64 updated to set the default cls instead of the actual one. While at it, declare pci_cache_line_size and pci_dfl_cache_line_size in pci.h and drop private declarations from arch code.

2009-11-04cpumask: Partition_sched_domains takes array of cpumask_var_tRusty Russell
Currently partition_sched_domains() takes a 'struct cpumask *doms_new' which is a kmalloc'ed array of cpumask_t. You can't have such an array if 'struct cpumask' is undefined, as we plan for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y. So, we make this an array of cpumask_var_t instead: this is the same for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n case, but requires multiple allocations for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y case. Hence we add alloc_sched_domains() and free_sched_domains() functions.

2009-11-02tg3 / broadcom: Add code to disable rxc refclkMatt Carlson
The 5785 does not use the RXC reference clock. Turning it off is desirable as it saves power. By default, the 50610 enables the RXC reference clock and the 50610M disables it. Presumably this is one of the reasons why the hardware architect chose one over the other. Adding a "rx reference clock disable" flag is not the ideal way to describe the option, as it would force the MAC using a 50610M to set the flag. Ideally we want the flags to represent opt-in behavior that deviates from hardware defaults. Furthermore, the lack of a "disable" flag implies that the requester wants the rx reference clock enabled, which doesn't necessarily follow. By presenting the option as a passive statement (rx reference clock unused) rather than a command, I hope to convey an opt-in option to disable the rx reference clock that falls back to hardware defaults if not set. A secondary benefit of this is that it keeps the intelligence about phy defaults in the broadcom module where it belongs and allows the broadcom module more latitude should a bug arise.
