Teach the mcp23s08 driver about a curious feature of these chips: up to four of them can share the same chipselect, with the SPI signals wired in parallel, by matching two bits in the first protocol byte against two address lines on the chip. This is handled by three software changes: * Platform data now holds an array of per-chip structs, not just one chip's address and pullup configuration. * Probe() and remove() now use another level of structure, wrapping an instance of the original structure for each mcp23s08 chip sharing that chipselect. * The HAEN bit is set, so that the hardware address bits can no longer be ignored (boot firmware may not have enabled them). The "one struct per chip" preserves the guts of the current code, but platform_data will need minor changes. OLD: /* incorrect "slave" ID may not have mattered */ .slave = 3, .pullups = BIT(3) | BIT(1) | BIT(0), NEW: /* slave address _must_ match chip's wiring */ .chip[3] = { .is_present = true, .pullups = BIT(3) | BIT(1) | BIT(0), }, There's no change in how things _behave_ for spi_device nodes with a single mcp23s08 chip. New multi-chip configurations assign GPIOs in sequence, without holes. The spi_device just resembles a bigger controller, but internally it has multiple gpio_chip instances.

This adds a simple sysfs interface for GPIOs. /sys/class/gpio /export ... asks the kernel to export a GPIO to userspace /unexport ... to return a GPIO to the kernel /gpioN ... for each exported GPIO #N /value ... always readable, writes fail for input GPIOs /direction ... r/w as: in, out (default low); write high, low /gpiochipN ... for each gpiochip; #N is its first GPIO /base ... (r/o) same as N /label ... (r/o) descriptive, not necessarily unique /ngpio ... (r/o) number of GPIOs; numbered N .. N+(ngpio - 1) GPIOs claimed by kernel code may be exported by its owner using a new gpio_export() call, which should be most useful for driver debugging. Such exports may optionally be done without a "direction" attribute. Userspace may ask to take over a GPIO by writing to a sysfs control file, helping to cope with incomplete board support or other "one-off" requirements that don't merit full kernel support: echo 23 > /sys/class/gpio/export ... will gpio_request(23, "sysfs") and gpio_export(23); use /sys/class/gpio/gpio-23/direction to (re)configure it, when that GPIO can be used as both input and output. echo 23 > /sys/class/gpio/unexport ... will gpio_free(23), when it was exported as above The extra D-space footprint is a few hundred bytes, except for the sysfs resources associated with each exported GPIO. The additional I-space footprint is about two thirds of the current size of gpiolib (!). Since no /dev node creation is involved, no "udev" support is needed. Related changes: * This adds a device pointer to "struct gpio_chip". When GPIO providers initialize that, sysfs gpio class devices become children of that device instead of being "virtual" devices. * The (few) gpio_chip providers which have such a device node have been updated. * Some gpio_chip drivers also needed to update their module "owner" field ... for which missing kerneldoc was added. * Some gpio_chips don't support input GPIOs. Those GPIOs are now flagged appropriately when the chip is registered. Based on previous patches, and discussion both on and off LKML. A Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-gpio update is ready to submit once this merges to mainline. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: a few maintenance build fixes] Signed-off-by: -

Currently list of kretprobe instances are stored in kretprobe object (as used_instances,free_instances) and in kretprobe hash table. We have one global kretprobe lock to serialise the access to these lists. This causes only one kretprobe handler to execute at a time. Hence affects system performance, particularly on SMP systems and when return probe is set on lot of functions (like on all systemcalls). Solution proposed here gives fine-grain locks that performs better on SMP system compared to present kretprobe implementation. Solution: 1) Instead of having one global lock to protect kretprobe instances present in kretprobe object and kretprobe hash table. We will have two locks, one lock for protecting kretprobe hash table and another lock for kretporbe object. 2) We hold lock present in kretprobe object while we modify kretprobe instance in kretprobe object and we hold per-hash-list lock while modifying kretprobe instances present in that hash list. To prevent deadlock, we never grab a per-hash-list lock while holding a kretprobe lock. 3) We can remove used_instances from struct kretprobe, as we can track used instances of kretprobe instances using kretprobe hash table.

All ratelimit user use same jiffies and burst params, so some messages (callbacks) will be lost. For example: a call printk_ratelimit(5 * HZ, 1) b call printk_ratelimit(5 * HZ, 1) before the 5*HZ timeout of a, then b will will be supressed. - rewrite __ratelimit, and use a ratelimit_state as parameter. Thanks for hints from andrew. - Add WARN_ON_RATELIMIT, update rcupreempt.h - remove __printk_ratelimit - use __ratelimit in net_ratelimit Signed-off-by:

Inflate requires some dynamic memory allocation very early in the boot process and this is provided with a set of four functions: malloc/free/gzip_mark/gzip_release. The old inflate code used a mark/release strategy rather than implement free. This new version instead keeps a count on the number of outstanding allocations and when it hits zero, it resets the malloc arena. This allows removing all the mark and release implementations and unifying all the malloc/free implementations. The architecture-dependent code must define two addresses: - free_mem_ptr, the address of the beginning of the area in which allocations should be made - free_mem_end_ptr, the address of the end of the area in which allocations should be made. If set to 0, then no check is made on the number of allocations, it just grows as much as needed The architecture-dependent code can also provide an arch_decomp_wdog() function call. This function will be called several times during the decompression process, and allow to notify the watchdog that the system is still running. If an architecture provides such a call, then it must define ARCH_HAS_DECOMP_WDOG so that the generic inflate code calls arch_decomp_wdog().

This driver adds support for reading and configuring certain information on modern HP laptops with WMI BIOS interfaces. It supports enabling and disabling the ambient light sensor, querying attached displays and hard drive temperature, sending events on docking and querying the state of the dock and toggling the state of the wifi, bluetooth and wwan hardware via rfkill. It also makes the little "(i)" button work on machines that send that via WMI rather than via the keyboard controller. Signed-off-by:

Presently call_usermodehelper_setup() uses GFP_ATOMIC. but it can return NULL _very_ easily. GFP_ATOMIC is needed only when we can't sleep. and, GFP_KERNEL is robust and better. thus, I add gfp_mask argument to call_usermodehelper_setup(). So, its callers pass the gfp_t as below: call_usermodehelper() and call_usermodehelper_keys(): depend on 'wait' argument. call_usermodehelper_pipe(): always GFP_KERNEL because always run under process context. orderly_poweroff(): pass to GFP_ATOMIC because may run under interrupt context.

Several compilers offer "long long" without claiming to support C99. Considering how frequent __s64/__u64 are used our userspace headers are anyway unusable without __s64/__u64 available. Always offer __s64/__u64 to non-gcc non-C99 compilers - if they provide "long long" that makes the headers compiling and if they don't they are anyway screwed. Signed-off-by:

Build kernel/profile.o only if CONFIG_PROFILING is enabled. This makes CONFIG_PROFILING=n kernels smaller. As a bonus, some profile_tick() calls and one branch from schedule() are now eliminated with CONFIG_PROFILING=n (but I doubt these are measurable effects). This patch changes the effects of CONFIG_PROFILING=n, but I don't think having more than two choices would be the better choice. This patch also adds the name of the first parameter to the prototypes of profile_{hits,tick}() since I anyway had to add them for the dummy functions. Signed-off-by: -
