Enabling RTC HW block depends on the default value of TPS65910 register. In some mode, RTC block is disabled by default.(eg. AM3517 Craneboard) In this case, RTC_PWDN(RTC power down) bit should be cleared to enable the RTC HW block. This patch also works in case that RTC block is active by default, because there is no side effect even if the bit is updated again. Tested on AM3517 Craneboard.

rtc-s3c driver is modified to use devm_request_and_ioremap() (combining request_mem_region and ioremap), devm_clk_get() and devm_request_irq() APIs. Since this removes the necessity of freeing the related resources the return path is also simplified.

The applications can set the RTC hardware to trigger interrupts in one of three modes: * AIE: Alarm interrupt * UIE: Update interrupt (ie: once per second) * PIE: Periodic interrupt (sub-second irqs) The above defined 3 modes are to be supported in the RTC HW in form of interrupts. The SPEAr RTC hardware does not support the later two modes. There have been refinements in the RTC core in mainline related to use of timer queue infrastructure to manage events in RTC. Please refer the below mentioned patch for details: * RTC: Rework RTC code to use timerqueue for events * SHA ID: 6610e089 There have been provisions added to support hardware that do not have support the UIE mode. Please refer the following patch. * rtc: Provide flag for rtc devices that don't support UIE * SHA ID: 4a649903 The patch makes use of the provision defined in the above patch to update the hardware status of UIE mode.

OMAP1 RTC driver is used in multiple devices like, OMAPL138 and AM33XX. Driver currently doesn't handle any clocks, which may be right for OMAP1 architecture but in case of AM33XX, the clock/module needs to be enabled in order to access the registers. So convert this driver to runtime pm, which internally handles rest.

OMAP RTC IP can have kicker feature. This prevents spurious writes to register. To write to registers kicker lock has to be released. Procedure to do it as follows, 1. write to kick0 register, 0x83e70b13 2. write to kick1 register, 0x95a4f1e0 Writing value other than 0x83e70b13 to kick0 enables write locking, more details about kicker mechanism can be found in section 20.3.3.5.3 of AM335X TRM @www.ti.com/am335x Here id table information is added and is used to distinguish those that require kicker handling and the ones that doesn't need it. There are more features in the newer IP's compared to legacy ones other than kicker, which driver currently doesn't handle, supporting additional features would be easier with the addition of id table. Older IP (of OMAP1) doesn't have revision register as per TRM, so revision register can't be relied always to find features, hence id table is being used. While at it, replace __raw_writeb/__raw_readb with writeb/readb; this driver is used on ARMv7 (AM335X SoC) Signed-off-by: Afzal Mohammed <afzal@ti.com> Acked-by: Sekhar Nori <nsekhar@ti.com> Cc: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca> Cc: Sekhar Nori <nsekhar@ti.com> Cc: Kevin Hilman <khilman@ti.com> Cc: Russell King <linux@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Alessandro Zummo <a.zummo@towertech.it> Cc: Daniel Mack <zonque@gmail.com> Cc: Vaibhav Hiremath <hvaibhav@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Add lockdep annotations. Not only this can help to find the potential problems, we do not want the false warnings if, say, the task takes two different percpu_rw_semaphore's for reading. IOW, at least ->rw_sem should not use a single class. This patch exposes this internal lock to lockdep so that it represents the whole percpu_rw_semaphore. This way we do not need to add another "fake" ->lockdep_map and lock_class_key. More importantly, this also makes the output from lockdep much more understandable if it finds the problem. In short, with this patch from lockdep pov percpu_down_read() and percpu_up_read() acquire/release ->rw_sem for reading, this matches the actual semantics. This abuses __up_read() but I hope this is fine and in fact I'd like to have down_read_no_lockdep() as well, percpu_down_read_recursive_readers() will need it.

percpu_rw_semaphore->writer_mutex was only added to simplify the initial rewrite, the only thing it protects is clear_fast_ctr() which otherwise could be called by multiple writers. ->rw_sem is enough to serialize the writers. Kill this mutex and add "atomic_t write_ctr" instead. The writers increment/decrement this counter, the readers check it is zero instead of mutex_is_locked(). Move atomic_add(clear_fast_ctr(), slow_read_ctr) under down_write() to avoid the race with other writers. This is a bit sub-optimal, only the first writer needs this and we do not need to exclude the readers at this stage. But this is simple, we do not want another internal lock until we add more features. And this speeds up the write-contended case. Before this patch the racing writers sleep in synchronize_sched_expedited() sequentially, with this patch multiple synchronize_sched_expedited's can "overlap" with each other. Note: we can do more optimizations, this is only the first step.

Currently the writer does msleep() plus synchronize_sched() 3 times to acquire/release the semaphore, and during this time the readers are blocked completely. Even if the "write" section was not actually started or if it was already finished. With this patch down_write/up_write does synchronize_sched() twice and down_read/up_read are still possible during this time, just they use the slow path. percpu_down_write() first forces the readers to use rw_semaphore and increment the "slow" counter to take the lock for reading, then it takes that rw_semaphore for writing and blocks the readers. Also. With this patch the code relies on the documented behaviour of synchronize_sched(), it doesn't try to pair synchronize_sched() with barrier.
