This patch is V2 of the SH clock framework move from arch/sh/kernel/cpu/clock.c to drivers/sh/clk.c. All code except the following functions are moved: clk_init(), clk_get() and clk_put(). The init function is still kept in clock.c since it depends on the SH-specific machvec implementation. The symbols clk_get() and clk_put() already exist in the common ARM clkdev code, those symbols are left in the SH tree to avoid duplicating them for SH-Mobile ARM.

This adds support for offloading the channel switch operation to devices that support such, typically by having specific firmware API for it. The reasons for this could be that the firmware provides better timing or that regulatory enforcement done by the device requires special handling of CSAs.

2010-05-11revert "procfs: provide stack information for threads" and its fixup commitsRobin Holt
Originally, commit d899bf7b ("procfs: provide stack information for threads") attempted to introduce a new feature for showing where the threadstack was located and how many pages are being utilized by the stack. Commit c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage on NOMMU") was applied to fix the NO_MMU case. Commit 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on 64-bit") was applied to fix a bug in ia32 executables being loaded. Commit 9ebd4eba7 ("procfs: fix /proc/<pid>/stat stack pointer for kernel threads") was applied to fix a bug which had kernel threads printing a userland stack address. Commit 1306d603f ('proc: partially revert "procfs: provide stack information for threads"') was then applied to revert the stack pages being used to solve a significant performance regression. This patch nearly undoes the effect of all these patches. The reason for reverting these is it provides an unusable value in field 28. For x86_64, a fork will result in the task->stack_start value being updated to the current user top of stack and not the stack start address. This unpredictability of the stack_start value makes it worthless. That includes the intended use of showing how much stack space a thread has. Other architectures will get different values. As an example, ia64 gets 0. The do_fork() and copy_process() functions appear to treat the stack_start and stack_size parameters as architecture specific. I only partially reverted c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage on NOMMU") . If I had completely reverted it, I would have had to change mm/Makefile only build pagewalk.o when CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR is configured. Since I could not test the builds without significant effort, I decided to not change mm/Makefile. I only partially reverted 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on 64-bit") . I left the KSTK_ESP() change in place as that seemed worthwhile.

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>

Having a single shared queue for all these users seems to excessive, move the queue and the cleanup timer to the per-namespace data to unshare it.

2010-05-11ASoC: core: Fix for the volume limiting when invert is in usePeter Ujfalusi
If the register for the volume needs invert, than the inversion need to be done from the chip maximum, and not from the platform dependent limit. Introduce soc_mixer_control.platform_max value, which initially equals to chip maximum. The snd_soc_limit_volume function only modify the platform_max, all volsw_info call returns this as well. The .max value holds the chip default (maximum), and it is used for the inversion, if it is needed. Additional check in the volsw_info call has been added to check the validity of the platform_max in case, when custom macros used by codec drivers are not initializing it correctly.

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.

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.
