There is no locking in init_uio_class so multiple drivers can race and create multiple uio classes. Fix this by simplifying the code. In particular always register the uio class during module_init and make things simpler. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Andi Kleen authored
I have some systems which need legacy sysfs due to old tools that are making assumptions that a directory can never be a symlink to another directory, and it's a big hazzle to compile separate kernels for them. This patch turns CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED into a run time option that can be switched on/off the kernel command line. This way the same binary can be used in both cases with just a option on the command line. The old CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 option is still there to set the default. I kept the weird name to not break existing config files. Also the compat code can be still completely disabled by undefining CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_SWITCH -- just the optimizer takes care of this now instead of lots of ifdefs. This makes the code look nicer. v2: This is an updated version on top of Kay's patch to only handle the block devices. I tested it on my old systems and that seems to work.

This patch removes the old CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 config option, but it keeps the logic around to handle block devices in the old manner as some people like to run new kernel versions on old (pre 2007/2008) distros.

There's no need to explicitly check for data and resources being NULL, as platform_device_add_{data,resources}() do this internally nowadays. This makes the code more linear and less indented. Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov <cbouatmailru@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Anton Vorontsov authored
Some users of platform_device_add_{data,resources}() assume that NULL data and resources will be handled specially, i.e. just ignored. But the platform core ends up calling kmemdup(NULL, 0, ...), which returns a non-NULL result (i.e. ZERO_SIZE_PTR), which causes drivers to oops on a valid code, something like: if (platform_data) stuff = platform_data->stuff; This patch makes the platform core a bit more safe for such cases.

Packet hub driver of Topcliff PCH Topcliff PCH is the platform controller hub that is going to be used in Intel's upcoming general embedded platform. All IO peripherals in Topcliff PCH are actually devices sitting on AMBA bus. Packet hub is a special converter device in Topcliff PCH that translate AMBA transactions to PCI Express transactions and vice versa. Thus packet hub helps present all IO peripherals in Topcliff PCH as PCIE devices to IA system. Topcliff PCH has MAC address and Option ROM data. These data are in SROM which is connected to PCIE bus. Packet hub driver of Topcliff PCH can access MAC address and Option ROM data in SROM via sysfs interface. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Currently, the platform_bus allows customization of several of the busses dev_pm_ops methods by using weak symbols so that platform code can override them. The weak-symbol approach is not scalable when wanting to support multiple platforms in a single kernel binary. Instead, provide __init methods for platform code to customize the dev_pm_ops methods at runtime. NOTE: after these dynamic methods are merged, the weak symbols should be removed from drivers/base/platform.c. AFAIK, this will only affect SH and sh-mobile which should be converted to use this runtime approach instead of the weak symbols. After SH & sh-mobile are converted, the weak symobols could be removed. Tested on OMAP3.

Having the ddebug_query= boot parameter it makes sense to set up dynamic debug as soon as possible. I expect sysfs files cannot be set up via an arch_initcall, because this one is even before fs_initcall. Therefore I splitted the dynamic_debug_init function into an early one and a later one providing /sys/../dynamic_debug/control file. Possibly dynamic_debug can be initialized even earlier, not sure whether this still makes sense then. I picked up arch_initcall as it covers quite a lot already. Dynamic debug needs to allocate memory, therefore it's not easily possible to set it up even before the command line gets parsed. Therefore the boot param query string is stored in a temp string which is applied when dynamic debug gets set up. This has been tested with ddebug_query="file ec.c +p" and I could retrieve pr_debug() messages early at boot during ACPI setup: ACPI: EC: Look up EC in DSDT ACPI: EC: ---> status = 0x08 ACPI: EC: transaction start ACPI: EC: <--- command = 0x80 ACPI: EC: ~~~> interrupt ACPI: EC: ---> status = 0x08 ACPI: EC: <--- data = 0xa4 ... ACPI: Interpreter enabled ACPI: (supports S0 S3 S4 S5) ACPI: Using IOAPIC for interrupt routing ACPI: EC: ---> status = 0x00 ACPI: EC: transaction start ACPI: EC: <--- command = 0x80 Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Acked-by: jbaron@redhat.com Acked-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> CC: linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Dynamic debug lacks the ability to enable debug messages at boot time. One could patch initramfs or service startup scripts to write to /sys/../dynamic_debug/control, but this sucks. This patch makes it possible to pass a query in the same format one can write to /sys/../dynamic_debug/control via boot param. When dynamic debug gets initialized, this query will automatically be applied.

The parsing and applying of dynamic debug strings is not only useful for /sys/../dynamic_debug/control write access, but can also be used for boot parameter parsing.

If the host is slow in reading data or doesn't read data at all, blocking write calls not only blocked the program that called write() but the entire guest itself. To overcome this, let's not block till the host signals it has given back the virtio ring element we passed it. Instead, send the buffer to the host and return to userspace. This operation then becomes similar to how non-blocking writes work, so let's use the existing code for this path as well. This code change also ensures blocking write calls do get blocked if there's not enough room in the virtio ring as well as they don't return -EAGAIN to userspace.

When running make clean, Kbuild doesn't process the .config file, so nothing generates a platform-y variable. We can get it to descend into the platform directories by setting $(obj-). The dec Platform file was unconditionally setting platform-, obliterating its previous contents and preventing some directories from being cleaned. This is change to an append operation '+=' to allow cavium-octeon to be cleaned.

kvm reloads the host's fs and gs blindly, however the underlying segment descriptors may be invalid due to the user modifying the ldt after loading them.

This patch reverts the driver to enabling/disabling the NFC interrupt mask rather than enabling/disabling the system interrupt. This cleans up the driver so that it doesn't rely on interrupts being disabled within the interrupt handler. For i.MX21 we keep the current behaviour, that is calling enable_irq/disable_irq_nosync to enable/disable interrupts. This patch is based on earlier work by John Ogness.
