2010-05-11resource: shared I/O region supportAlan Cox
SuperIO devices share regions and use lock/unlock operations to chip select. We therefore need to be able to request a resource and wait for it to be freed by whichever other SuperIO device currently hogs it. Right now you have to poll which is horrible. Add a MUXED field to IO port resources. If the MUXED field is set on the resource and on the request (via request_muxed_region) then we block until the previous owner of the muxed resource releases their region. This allows us to implement proper resource sharing and locking for superio chips using code of the form enable_my_superio_dev() { request_muxed_region(0x44, 0x02, "superio:watchdog"); outb() ..sequence to enable chip } disable_my_superio_dev() { outb() .. sequence of disable chip release_region(0x44, 0x02); } Signed-off-by: Giel van Schijndel <me@mortis.eu> Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org>

2010-05-11ibft: separate ibft parsing from sysfs interfaceMike Christie
Not all iscsi drivers support ibft. For drivers like be2iscsi that do not but are bootable through a vendor firmware specific format/process this patch moves the sysfs interface from the ibft code to a lib module. This then allows userspace tools to search for iscsi boot info in a common place and in a common format. ibft iscsi boot info is exported in the same place as it was before: /sys/firmware/ibft. vendor/fw boot info gets export in /sys/firmware/iscsi_bootX, where X is the scsi host number of the HBA. Underneath these parent dirs, the target, ethernet, and initiator dirs are the same as they were before.

2010-05-11ipv6: ip6mr: support multiple tablesPatrick McHardy
This patch adds support for multiple independant multicast routing instances, named "tables". Userspace multicast routing daemons can bind to a specific table instance by issuing a setsockopt call using a new option MRT6_TABLE. The table number is stored in the raw socket data and affects all following ip6mr setsockopt(), getsockopt() and ioctl() calls. By default, a single table (RT6_TABLE_DFLT) is created with a default routing rule pointing to it. Newly created pim6reg devices have the table number appended ("pim6regX"), with the exception of devices created in the default table, which are named just "pim6reg" for compatibility reasons. Packets are directed to a specific table instance using routing rules, similar to how regular routing rules work. Currently iif, oif and mark are supported as keys, source and destination addresses could be supported additionally. Example usage: - bind pimd/xorp/... to a specific table: uint32_t table = 123; setsockopt(fd, SOL_IPV6, MRT6_TABLE, &table, sizeof(table)); - create routing rules directing packets to the new table: # ip -6 mrule add iif eth0 lookup 123 # ip -6 mrule add oif eth0 lookup 123 Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

2010-05-10Debugobjects transition checkMathieu Desnoyers
Implement a basic state machine checker in the debugobjects. This state machine checker detects races and inconsistencies within the "active" life of a debugobject. The checker only keeps track of the current state; all the state machine logic is kept at the object instance level. The checker works by adding a supplementary "unsigned int astate" field to the debug_obj structure. It keeps track of the current "active state" of the object. The only constraints that are imposed on the states by the debugobjects system is that: - activation of an object sets the current active state to 0, - deactivation of an object expects the current active state to be 0. For the rest of the states, the state mapping is determined by the specific object instance. Therefore, the logic keeping track of the state machine is within the specialized instance, without any need to know about it at the debugobject level. The current object active state is changed by calling: debug_object_active_state(addr, descr, expect, next) where "expect" is the expected state and "next" is the next state to move to if the expected state is found. A warning is generated if the expected is not found. Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Acked-by: David S.

2010-05-10i2c: Fix bus-level power management callbacksRafael J. Wysocki
There are three issues with the i2c bus type's power management callbacks at the moment. First, they don't include any hibernate callbacks, although they should at least include the .restore() callback (there's no guarantee that the driver will be present in memory before loading the image kernel and we must restore the pre-hibernation state of the device). Second, the "legacy" callbacks are not going to be invoked by the PM core since the bus type's pm object is not NULL. Finally, the system sleep PM (ie. suspend/resume) callbacks don't check if the device has been already suspended at run time, in which case they should skip suspending it. Also, it looks like the i2c bus type can use the generic subsystem-level runtime PM callbacks. For these reasons, rework the system sleep PM callbacks provided by the i2c bus type to handle hibernation correctly and to invoke the "legacy" callbacks for drivers that provide them. In addition to that make the i2c bus type use the generic subsystem-level runtime PM callbacks. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

This patch changes the string based list management to a handle base implementation to help with the hot path use of pm-qos, it also renames much of the API to use "request" as opposed to "requirement" that was used in the initial implementation. I did this because request more accurately represents what it actually does. Also, I added a string based ABI for users wanting to use a string interface. So if the user writes 0xDDDDDDDD formatted hex it will be accepted by the interface. (someone asked me for it and I don't think it hurts anything.)

2010-05-10rcu: refactor RCU's context-switch handlingPaul E. McKenney
The addition of preemptible RCU to treercu resulted in a bit of confusion and inefficiency surrounding the handling of context switches for RCU-sched and for RCU-preempt. For RCU-sched, a context switch is a quiescent state, pure and simple, just like it always has been. For RCU-preempt, a context switch is in no way a quiescent state, but special handling is required when a task blocks in an RCU read-side critical section. However, the callout from the scheduler and the outer loop in ksoftirqd still calls something named rcu_sched_qs(), whose name is no longer accurate. Furthermore, when rcu_check_callbacks() notes an RCU-sched quiescent state, it ends up unnecessarily (though harmlessly, aside from the performance hit) enqueuing the current task if it happens to be running in an RCU-preempt read-side critical section. This not only increases the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), it also needlessly increases the overhead of the next outermost rcu_read_unlock() invocation. This patch addresses this situation by separating the notion of RCU's context-switch handling from that of RCU-sched's quiescent states. The context-switch handling is covered by rcu_note_context_switch() in general and by rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() for preemptible RCU. This permits rcu_sched_qs() to handle quiescent states and only quiescent states. It also reduces the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), though probably by much less than a microsecond. Finally, it means that tasks within preemptible-RCU read-side critical sections avoid incurring the overhead of queuing unless there really is a context switch.

2010-05-10rcu: optionally leave lockdep enabled after RCU lockdep splatLai Jiangshan
There is no need to disable lockdep after an RCU lockdep splat, so remove the debug_lockdeps_off() from lockdep_rcu_dereference(). To avoid repeated lockdep splats, use a static variable in the inlined rcu_dereference_check() and rcu_dereference_protected() macros so that a given instance splats only once, but so that multiple instances can be detected per boot. This is controlled by a new config variable CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY, which is disabled by default. This provides the normal lockdep behavior by default, but permits people who want to find multiple RCU-lockdep splats per boot to easily do so.

2010-05-10mtd: fix a huge latency problem in the MTD CFI and LPDDR flash drivers.Stefani Seibold
The use of a memcpy() during a spinlock operation will cause very long thread context switch delays if the flash chip bandwidth is low and the data to be copied large, because a spinlock will disable preemption. For example: A flash with 6,5 MB/s bandwidth will cause under ubifs, which request sometimes 128 KiB (the flash erase size), a preemption delay of 20 milliseconds. High priority threads will not be served during this time, regardless whether this threads access the flash or not. This behavior breaks real time. The patch changes all the use of spin_lock operations for xxxx->mutex into mutex operations, which is exact what the name says and means. I have checked the code of the drivers and there is no use of atomic pathes like interrupt or timers. The mtdoops facility will also not be used by this drivers. So it is dave to replace the spin_lock against mutex. There is no performance regression since the mutex is normally not acquired.

2010-05-10clocksource: Add clocksource_register_hz/khz interfaceJohn Stultz
How to pick good mult/shift pairs has always been difficult to describe to folks writing clocksource drivers, since it requires careful tradeoffs in adjustment accuracy vs overflow limits. Now, with the clocks_calc_mult_shift function, its much easier. However, not many clocksources have converted to using that function, and there is still the issue of the max interval length assumption being made by each clocksource driver independently. So this patch simplifies the registration process by having clocksources be registered with a hz/khz value and the registration function taking care of setting mult/shift. This should take most of the confusion out of writing a clocksource driver. Additionally it also keeps the shift size tradeoff (more accuracy vs longer possible nohz times) centralized so the timekeeping core can keep track of the assumptions being made.
