* rtc: rtc interfaces don't use class_deviceDavid Brownell2007-05-081-17/+16Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes class_device from the programming interface that the RTC framework exposes to the rest of the kernel. Now an rtc_device is passed, which is more type-safe and streamlines all the relevant code.

* rtc: remove /sys/class/rtc-dev/*David Brownell2007-05-081-1/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This simplifies the /dev support by removing a superfluous class_device (the /sys/class/rtc-dev stuff) and the class_interface that hooks it into the rtc core. Accordingly, if it's configured then /dev support is now part of the RTC core, and is never a separate module. It's another step towards being able to remove "struct class_device".

* utimensat implementationUlrich Drepper2007-05-084-2/+8

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).

Ingo suggested to rename cpu_power to __cpu_power to make clear it should not be modified without changing its reciprocal value too. I did not convert the divide in cpu_avg_load_per_task(), because tracking nr_running changes may be not worth it ?

* sched: dynticks idle load balancingSiddha, Suresh B2007-05-081-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Intelligent owner selection (like an idle core in a busy package). 2. Merge with rcu's nohz_cpu_mask?

* au1550 SPI controller driverJan Nikitenko2007-05-081-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* fix hotplug for legacy platform driversDavid Brownell2007-05-081-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've had various reports of some legacy "probe the hardware" style platform drivers having nasty problems with hotplug support. The core issue is that those legacy drivers don't fully conform to the driver model. They assume a role that should be the responsibility of infrastructure code: creating device nodes. The "modprobe" step in hotplugging relies on drivers to have split those roles into different modules. The lack of this split causes the problems. When a driver creates nodes for devices that don't exist (sending a hotplug event), then exits (aborting one modprobe) before the "modprobe $MODALIAS" step completes (by failing, since it's in the middle of a modprobe), the result can be an endless loop of modprobe invocations ... badness. This fix uses the newish per-device flag controlling issuance of "add" events. (A previous version of this patch used a per-device "driver can hotplug" flag, which only scrubbed $MODALIAS from the environment rather than suppressing the entire hotplug event.) It also shrinks that flag to one bit, saving a word in "struct device". So the net of this patch is removing some nasty failures with legacy drivers, while retaining hotplug capability for the majority of platform drivers.

We see 50% of expected performance when two e1000 nics local to two different nodes have consecutive irq descriptors allocated, due to false sharing. Note that this patch does away with cacheline padding for the UP case, as it does not seem useful for UP configurations.

* kdump/kexec: calculate note size at compile timeSimon Horman2007-05-089-17/+16Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the size of the per-cpu region reserved to save crash notes is set by the per-architecture value MAX_NOTE_BYTES. Which in turn is currently set to 1024 on all supported architectures. While testing ia64 I recently discovered that this value is in fact too small. The particular setup I was using actually needs 1172 bytes. This lead to very tedious failure mode where the tail of one elf note would overwrite the head of another if they ended up being alocated sequentially by kmalloc, which was often the case. It seems to me that a far better approach is to caclculate the size that the area needs to be. This patch does just that. If a simpler stop-gap patch for ia64 to be squeezed into 2.6.21(.X) is needed then this should be as easy as making MAX_NOTE_BYTES larger in arch/asm-ia64/kexec.h. Perhaps 2048 would be a good choice. However, I think that the approach in this patch is a much more robust idea.

* remove artificial software max_loop limitKen Chen2007-05-081-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove artificial maximum 256 loop device that can be created due to a legacy device number limit. Searching through lkml archive, there are several instances where users complained about the artificial limit that the loop driver impose. There is no reason to have such limit. This patch rid the limit entirely and make loop device and associated block queue instantiation on demand. With on-demand instantiation, it also gives the benefit of not wasting memory if these devices are not in use (compare to current implementation that always create 8 loop devices), a net improvement in both areas. This version is both tested with creation of large number of loop devices and is compatible with existing losetup/mount user land tools.

This is used to prevent sysrq-t from generating a spurious watchdog message when generating lots of output. Softlockup watchdogs use sched_clock() as its timebase, which is inherently per-cpu (at least, when it is measuring unstolen time). Because of this, it isn't possible for one CPU to directly update the other CPU's timers, but it is possible to tell the other CPUs to do update themselves appropriately.

* Add support for deferrable timersVenki Pallipadi2007-05-081-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce a new flag for timers - deferrable: Timers that work normally when system is busy. But, will not cause CPU to come out of idle (just to service this timer), when CPU is idle. Instead, this timer will be serviced when CPU eventually wakes up with a subsequent non-deferrable timer. The main advantage of this is to avoid unnecessary timer interrupts when CPU is idle. If the routine currently called by a timer can wait until next event without any issues, this new timer can be used to setup timer event for that routine. This, with dynticks, allows CPUs to be lazy, allowing them to stay in idle for extended period of time by reducing unnecesary wakeup and thereby reducing the power consumption. This patch: Builds this new timer on top of existing timer infrastructure. It uses last bit in 'base' pointer of timer_list structure to store this deferrable timer flag. __next_timer_interrupt() function skips over these deferrable timers when CPU looks for next timer event for which it has to wake up. This is exported by a new interface init_timer_deferrable() that can be called in place of regular init_timer().
