* rtc: update to class device removal patchesDavid Brownell2007-05-083-1/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a goof in the revised classdev support for RTCs: make sure the /dev node info is ready before the device is registered, not after. Otherwise the /sys/class/rtc/rtcN/dev attribute won't be created and then udev won't have the information it needs to create the /dev/rtcN node.

* rtc: suspend()/resume() restores system clockDavid Brownell2007-05-085-76/+91
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | RTC class suspend/resume support, re-initializing the system clock on resume from the clock used to initialize it at boot time. - The reinit-on-resume is hooked to the existing RTC_HCTOSYS config option, on the grounds that a clock good enough for init must also be good enough for re-init. - Inlining a version of the code used by ARM, to save and restore the delta between a selected RTC and the current system wall-clock time. - Removes calls to that ARM code from AT91, OMAP1, and S3C RTCs. This means that systems using those RTCs across suspend/resume will likely want to change their kernel configs to enable RTC_HCTOSYS. If HCTOSYS isn't using a second RTC (with battery?), this changes the system's initial date from Jan 1970 to the epoch this hardware uses: 1998 for AT91, 2000 for OMAP1 (assuming no split power mode), etc. This goes on top of the patch series removing "struct class_device" usage from the RTC framework. That's all needed for class suspend()/resume().

* rtc: simplified /proc/driver/rtc handlingDavid Brownell2007-05-085-59/+20Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This simplifies the RTC procfs support by removing the class_interface that hooks it into the rtc core. If it's configured, then sysfs support is now part of the RTC core, and is never a separate module. It also removes the class_interface hook, now that its last remaining user is gone. (That API is usable only with a "struct class_device".) It's another step towards being able to remove "struct class_device".

Additionally the sys_utime function was changed to match compat_sys_utime which already use do_utimes instead of duplicating the work. Also, the completely missing futimensat() functionality is added. We have such a function in glibc but we have to resort to using /proc/self/fd/* which not everybody likes (chroot etc).

I did not convert the divide in cpu_avg_load_per_task(), because tracking nr_running changes may be not worth it ?

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the process idle load balancing in the presence of dynticks. cpus for which ticks are stopped will sleep till the next event wakes it up. Potentially these sleeps can be for large durations and during which today, there is no periodic idle load balancing being done. This patch nominates an owner among the idle cpus, which does the idle load balancing on behalf of the other idle cpus. And once all the cpus are completely idle, then we can stop this idle load balancing too. Checks added in fast path are minimized. Whenever there are busy cpus in the system, there will be an owner(idle cpu) doing the system wide idle load balancing. Open items: 1.

It would have been nice to have made it so that it wasn't possible to make such a collision, but some callers need to be able to control what inode number their entries get, so I think this is the best that can be done.

* inode numbering: make static counters in new_inode and iunique be 32 bitsJeff Layton2007-05-081-2/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problems are: - on filesystems w/o permanent inode numbers, i_ino values can be larger than 32 bits, which can cause problems for some 32 bit userspace programs on a 64 bit kernel. We can't do anything for filesystems that have actual >32-bit inode numbers, but on filesystems that generate i_ino values on the fly, we should try to have them fit in 32 bits. We could trivially fix this by making the static counters in new_inode and iunique 32 bits, but... - many filesystems call new_inode and assume that the i_ino values they are given are unique. They are not guaranteed to be so, since the static counter can wrap. This problem is exacerbated by the fix for #1. - after allocating a new inode, some filesystems call iunique to try to get a unique i_ino value, but they don't actually add their inodes to the hashtable, and so they're still not guaranteed to be unique if that counter wraps. This patch set takes the simpler approach of simply using iunique and hashing the inodes afterward. Christoph H. previously mentioned that he thought that this approach may slow down lookups for filesystems that currently hash their inodes. The questions are: 1) how much would this slow down lookups for these filesystems? 2) is it enough to justify adding more infrastructure to avoid it? What might be best is to start with this approach and then only move to using IDR or some other scheme if these extra inodes in the hashtable prove to be problematic. I've done some cursory testing with this patch and the overhead of hashing and unhashing the inodes with pipefs is pretty low -- just a few seconds of system time added on to the creation and destruction of 10 million pipes (very similar to the overhead that the IDR approach would add). The hard thing to measure is what effect this has on other filesystems. I'm open to ways to try and gauge this. Again, I've only converted pipefs as an example. If this approach is acceptable then I'll start work on patches to convert other filesystems. With a pretty-much-worst-case microbenchmark provided by Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com>: hashing patch (pipebench): sys 1m15.329s sys 1m16.249s sys 1m17.169s unpatched (pipebench): sys 1m9.836s sys 1m12.541s sys 1m14.153s Which works out to 1.05642174294555027017. So ~5-6% slowdown. This patch: When a 32-bit program that was not compiled with large file offsets does a stat and gets a st_ino value back that won't fit in the 32 bit field, glibc (correctly) generates an EOVERFLOW error. We can't do anything about fs's with larger permanent inode numbers, but when we generate them on the fly, we ought to try and have them fit within a 32 bit field. This patch takes the first step toward this by making the static counters in these two functions be 32 bits.

* au1550 SPI controller driverJan Nikitenko2007-05-084-0/+1002
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here is a driver for the Alchemy au1550 PSC (Programmable Serial Controller) in SPI master mode. It supports dma transfers using the Alchemy descriptor based dma controller for 4-8 bits per word SPI transfers. For 9-24 bits per word transfers, pio irq based mode is used to avoid setup of dma channels from scratch on each number of bits per word change. Tested with au1550; this may also work on other MIPS Alchemy cpus, like au1200/au1210/au1250. Used extensively with SD card connected via SPI; this handles 8.1MHz SPI clock transfers using dma without any problem (the highest SPI clock freq possible with au1550 running on 324MHz). The driver supports sharing of SPI bus by multiple devices. All features of Alchemy SPI mode are supported (all SPI modes, msb/lsb first, bits per word in 4-24 range). As the SPI clock of the controller depends on main input clock that shall be configured externally, platform data structure for au1550 SPI controller driver contains mainclk_hz attribute to define the input clock rate. From this value, dividers of the controller for SPI clock are set up for required frequency. Signed-off-by: Jan Nikitenko <jan.nikitenko@gmail.com> Whitespace and section fixups.

The initial version of this interface is purely synchronous. dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net: Cleaned up, bugfixed; much simplified; added preliminary documentation. Works with mdev given CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED; and presumably udev. Updated SPI_IOC_MESSAGE ioctl to full spi_message semantics, supporting groups of one or more transfers (each of which may be full duplex if desired). This is marked as EXPERIMENTAL with an explicit disclaimer that the API (notably the ioctls) is subject to change.

* Invalid return value of execve() resulting in oopsesAlexey Kuznetsov2007-05-081-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When elf loader fails to map executable (due to memory shortage or because binary is malformed), it can return 0. Normally, this is invisible because process is killed with SIGKILL and it never returns to user space. But if exec() is called from kernel thread (hotplug, whatever) consequences are more interesting and vary depending on architecture. i386. Nothing especially interesting, execve() just returns with "success" :-) x86_64. Fake zero frame is used on way to caller, RSP/RIP are loaded with zeros, ergo... double fault. ia64. Similar to i386, but r32...r95 are corrupted. Sometimes it oopses due to return to zero PC, sometimes it sees NaT in rXX and oopses due to NaT consumption.
