2019-02-14Drivers: hv: vmbus: Expose counters for interrupts and full conditionsKimberly Brown
Counter values for per-channel interrupts and ring buffer full conditions are useful for investigating performance. Expose counters in sysfs for 2 types of guest to host interrupts: 1) Interrupts caused by the channel's outbound ring buffer transitioning from empty to not empty 2) Interrupts caused by the channel's inbound ring buffer transitioning from full to not full while a packet is waiting for enough buffer space to become available Expose 2 counters in sysfs for the number of times that write operations encountered a full outbound ring buffer: 1) The total number of write operations that encountered a full condition 2) The number of write operations that were the first to encounter a full condition Increment the outbound full condition counters in the hv_ringbuffer_write() function because, for most drivers, a full outbound ring buffer is detected in that function. Also increment the outbound full condition counters in the set_channel_pending_send_size() function. In the hv_sock driver, a full outbound ring buffer is detected and set_channel_pending_send_size() is called before hv_ringbuffer_write() is called. I tested this patch by confirming that the sysfs files were created and observing the counter values. The values seemed to increase by a reasonable amount when the Hyper-v related drivers were in use.

2018-09-14xen/balloon: add runtime control for scrubbing ballooned out pagesMarek Marczykowski-Górecki
Scrubbing pages on initial balloon down can take some time, especially in nested virtualization case (nested EPT is slow). When HVM/PVH guest is started with memory= significantly lower than maxmem=, all the extra pages will be scrubbed before returning to Xen. But since most of them weren't used at all at that point, Xen needs to populate them first (from populate-on-demand pool). In nested virt case (Xen inside KVM) this slows down the guest boot by 15-30s with just 1.5GB needed to be returned to Xen. Add runtime parameter to enable/disable it, to allow initially disabling scrubbing, then enable it back during boot (for example in initramfs). Such usage relies on assumption that a) most pages ballooned out during initial boot weren't used at all, and b) even if they were, very few secrets are in the guest at that time (before any serious userspace kicks in). Convert CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES to CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES_DEFAULT (also enabled by default), controlling default value for the new runtime switch.

The driver notifies user on hotplug device signal receiving. - ASUS WMI drivers recognize lid flip action on UX360, and correctly toggles airplane mode LED. In addition the keyboard backlight toggle gets support. - ThinkPad ACPI driver enables support for calculator key (on at least P52). It also has been fixed to support three characters model designators, which are used for modern laptops. Earlier the battery, marked as BAT1, on ThinkPad laptops has not been configured properly, which is fixed. On the opposite the multi-battery configurations now probed correctly. - Dell SMBIOS driver starts working on some Dell servers which do not support token interface. The regression with backlight detection has also been fixed. In order to support dock mode on some laptops, Intel virtual button driver has been fixed. The last but not least is the fix to Intel HID driver due to changes in Dell systems that prevented to use power button. * tag 'platform-drivers-x86-v4.19-1' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-platform-drivers-x86: (47 commits) platform/x86: acer-wmi: Silence "unsupported" message a bit platform/x86: intel_punit_ipc: fix build errors platform/x86: ideapad: Add Y520-15IKBM and Y720-15IKBM to no_hw_rfkill platform/x86: asus-nb-wmi: Add keymap entry for lid flip action on UX360 platform/x86: acer-wmi: refactor function has_cap platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: Fix multi-battery bug platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: extend battery quirk coverage platform/x86: touchscreen_dmi: Add info for the Cube KNote i1101 tablet platform/x86: mlx-platform: Fix copy-paste error in mlxplat_init() platform/x86: mlx-platform: Remove unused define platform/x86: mlx-platform: Change mlxreg-io configuration for MSN274x systems Documentation/ABI: Add new attribute for mlxreg-io sysfs interfaces platform/x86: mlx-platform: Allow mlxreg-io driver activation for more systems platform/x86: mlx-platform: Add ASIC hotplug device configuration platform/mellanox: mlxreg-hotplug: Add hotplug hwmon uevent notification platform/mellanox: mlxreg-hotplug: Improve mechanism of ASIC health discovery platform/x86: mlx-platform: Add mlxreg-fan platform driver activation platform/x86: dell-laptop: Fix backlight detection platform/x86: toshiba_acpi: Fix defined but not used build warnings platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: Support battery quirk ...

2017-05-18drivers/serial: Add driver for Aspeed virtual UARTJeremy Kerr
This change adds a driver for the 16550-based Aspeed virtual UART device. We use a similar process to the of_serial driver for device probe, but expose some VUART-specific functions through sysfs too. The VUART is two UART 'front ends' connected by their FIFO (no actual serial line in between). One is on the BMC side (management controller) and one is on the host CPU side. This driver is for the BMC side. The sysfs files allow the BMC userspace, which owns the system configuration policy, to specify at what IO port and interrupt number the host side will appear to the host on the Host <-> BMC LPC bus. It could be different on a different system (though most of them use 3f8/4). OpenPOWER host firmware doesn't like it when the host-side of the VUART's FIFO is not drained. This driver only disables host TX discard mode when the port is in use. We set the VUART enabled bit when we bind to the device, and clear it on unbind. We don't want to do this on open/release, as the host may be using this bit to configure serial output modes, which is independent of whether the devices has been opened by BMC userspace.

The muxing can be done using a BPF program which hashes the incoming packet. From Craig Gallek. 5) Add a multiplexer for TCP streams, to provide a messaged based interface. BPF programs can be used to determine the message boundaries. From Tom Herbert. 6) Add 802.1AE MACSEC support, from Sabrina Dubroca. 7) Avoid factorial complexity when taking down an inetdev interface with lots of configured addresses. We were doing things like traversing the entire address less for each address removed, and flushing the entire netfilter conntrack table for every address as well. 8) Add and use SKB bulk free infrastructure, from Jesper Brouer. 9) Allow offloading u32 classifiers to hardware, and implement for ixgbe, from John Fastabend. 10) Allow configuring IRQ coalescing parameters on a per-queue basis, from Kan Liang. 11) Extend ethtool so that larger link mode masks can be supported. From David Decotigny. 12) Introduce devlink, which can be used to configure port link types (ethernet vs Infiniband, etc.), port splitting, and switch device level attributes as a whole. From Jiri Pirko. 13) Hardware offload support for flower classifiers, from Amir Vadai. 14) Add "Local Checksum Offload". Basically, for a tunneled packet the checksum of the outer header is 'constant' (because with the checksum field filled into the inner protocol header, the payload of the outer frame checksums to 'zero'), and we can take advantage of that in various ways.

Hinawa [https://github.com/takaswie/libhinawa/] is a library for access to IEEE 1394 devices. As a gobject introspection library, it facilitates writing applications in high-level programming languages. Besides generic I/O via /dev/fw* (firewire-cdev ABI), it also supports control of IEEE 1394 audio hardware via ALSA hwdep ABIs which are provided by sound/firewire drivers.
