      rtc-cmos: improve HPET IRQ glue · 35d3fdd5
      David Brownell 提交于
      Resolve http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11051 and other bugs
      related to the way the HPET glue code in rtc-cmos was incomplete and
      inconsistent:
      
       * Switch the approach so that the basic driver code flow isn't
         changed by having HPET ... instead, just have HPET shadow the
         RTC_CONTROL irq enables and RTC_FREQ_SELECT data.  It's only
         coping with IRQ thievery, after all.
      
       * Do that consistently (!!) to avoid problems when the HPET code
         is out of sync with the real RTC intent.  Examples include:
      
         - cmos_procfs(), which now reports correct data
      
         - cmos_irq_set_state() ... also removing the previous PIE_{ON,OFF}
           ioctl support so only one code path manages "periodic" IRQs
      
         - cmos_do_shutdown() ... currently a "just in case" change.
      
         - cmos_suspend() and cmos_resume() ... also handling a bug that
           was specific to HPET's IRQ thievery, where the alarm wasn't
           disabled after waking the system
      
       * Always call that HPET code under the RTC spinlock (it doesn't do
         its own locking)
      
      Also clean up the HPET glue:
      
       * Add some comments explaining what's going on.
      
       * Switch to having just one #ifdef for the HPET glue, and inline
         functions (not #defines) to avoid some compiler warnings.
      
       * Have the probe message also report when HPET IRQs are involved
      
      This still leaves various holes in the HPET glue, like the emulated update
      IRQs being out of sync with the RTC, alarms never using day or month
      matches, and many extra IRQs (at 64 Hz).

      When CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC is defined the external declaration of

      provide rtc_cmos platform device · 1da2e3d6
      Stas Sergeev 提交于
      Recently (around 2.6.25) I've noticed that RTC no longer works for me.  It
      turned out this is because I use pnpacpi=off kernel option to work around
      the parport_pc bugs.  I always did so, but RTC used to work fine in the
      past, and now it have regressed.
      
      The patch fixes the problem by creating the platform device for the RTC
      when PNP is disabled.  This may also help running the PNP-enabled kernel
      on an older PCs.

      rtc-cmos alarm acts as oneshot · 8a0bdfd7
      David Brownell 提交于
      Start making the rtc-cmos alarm act more like a oneshot alarm by disabling
      that alarm after its IRQ fires.  (ACPI hooks are also needed.)
      
      The Linux RTC framework has previously been a bit vague in this area, but
      any other behavior is problematic and not very portable.  RTCs with full
      YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM[:SS] alarms won't have a problem here.  Only ones with
      partial match criteria, with the most visible example being the PC RTC, get
      confused.  (Because the criteria will match repeatedly.)
      
      Update comments relating to that oneshot behavior and timezone handling.
      (Timezones are another issue that's mostly visible with rtc-cmos.  That's
      because PCs often dual-boot MS-Windows, which likes its RTC to match local
      wall-clock time instead of UTC.)

      rtc-cmos: export nvram in sysfs · e07e232c
      David Brownell 提交于
      This makes rtc-cmos export its NVRAM, like several other RTC drivers.
      
      It still works within the limits of the current CMOS_READ/CMOS_WRITE calls,
      which don't understand how to access multiple register banks.  The primary
      impact of that limitation is that Linux can't access the uppermost 128
      bytes of NVRAM on many systems.
      
      Note that this isn't aiming to be a drop-in replacement for the legacy
      /dev/nvram support.  (Presumably that has real users, and isn't just
      getting carried forward automatically?) Userspace handles more work:
      
       - When userspace code updates NVRAM, that will need to include
         updating any platform-specific checksums that may apply.
      
       - No /proc/driver/nvram file will parse and display NVRAM data
         according to whichever boot firmware your board expects.
      
      Also minor pnp-related updates: update a comment, remove dead code.

      rtc: ignore msb when reading back mday from alarm · 615bb29c
      Mark Lord 提交于
      I have a system here that actively relies upon RTC wake alarms, and it
      has been failing (again) for a few days when attempting to use the
      /sys/class/rtc/rtc?/wakealarm interface.
      
      The old (fixed by Linus) /proc/ interface still works, but I'd like to
      get it using the new one.
      
      This patch fixes rtc-cmos to ignore the two upper bits when reading the
      BCD mday (day of month) register from CMOS.  Some systems (eg.  mine)
      seem to have the top bit set to "1" for some reason.
      
      The older /proc/ interface ignores the upper bits, and so we should too.

      rtc-cmos wakeup interface · 87ac84f4
      David Brownell 提交于
      I finally got around to testing the updated wakeup event hooks for rtc-cmos,
      and they follow in two patches:
      
       - Interface update ... when a simple enable_irq_wake() doesn't suffice,
         the platform data can hold suspend/resume callback hooks.
      
       - ACPI implementation ... provides callback hooks to do ACPI magic, and
         eliminate the legacy /proc/acpi/alarm file.
      
      The interface update could go into 2.6.21, but that's not essential; they
      will be NOPs on most PCs, without the ACPI stuff.
      
      I suspect the ACPI folk may have opinions about how to merge that second
      patch, and how to obsolete that legacy procfs file.  I'd like to see that
      merge into 2.6.22 if possible...
      
      As for how to kick it in ... two ways:
      
       - The appended "rtcwake" program; updated since the last time it was
         posted, it deals much better with timezones and DST.
      
       - Write the /sys/class/rtc/.../wakealarm file, then go to sleep.
      
      For some reason RTC wake from "swsusp" stopped working on a system where
      it previously worked; the alarm setting appears to get clobbered.  But
      on the bright side, RTC wake from "standby" worked on a system that had
      never been able to resume from that state before ... IDEACPI is my guess
      as to why it finally started to work.  It's the old "two steps forward,
      one step back" dance, I guess.

      This patch:
      
      Make rtc-cmos do the relevant magic so this RTC can wake the system from a
      sleep state.  That magic comes in two basic flavors:
      
       - Straightforward:  enable_irq_wake(), the way it'd work on most SOC chips;
         or generally with system sleep states which don't disable core IRQ logic.
      
       - Roundabout, using non-IRQ platform hooks.  This is needed with ACPI and
         one almost-clone chip which uses a special wakeup-only alarm.  (That's
         the RTC used on Footbridge boards, FWIW, which don't do PM in Linux.)
      
      A separate patch implements those hooks for ACPI platforms, so that rtc_cmos
      can issue system wakeup events (and its sysfs "wakealarm" attribute works on
      at least some systems).

      rtc: rtc interfaces don't use class_device · ab6a2d70
      David Brownell 提交于
      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.

      [PATCH] RTC framework driver for CMOS RTCs · 7be2c7c9
      David Brownell 提交于
      This is an "RTC framework" driver for the "CMOS" RTCs which are standard on
      PCs and some other platforms.  That's MC146818 compatible silicon.
      Advantages of this vs.  drivers/char/rtc.c (use one _or_ the other, only
      one will be able to claim the RTC irq) include:
      
       - This leverages both the new RTC framework and the driver model; both
         PNPACPI and platform device modes are supported.  (A separate patch
         creates a platform device on PCs where PNPACPI isn't configured.)
      
       - It supports common extensions like longer alarms.  (A separate patch
         exports that information from ACPI through platform_data.)
      
       - Likewise, system wakeup events use "real driver model support", with
         policy control via sysfs "wakeup" attributes and and using normal rtc
         ioctls to manage wakeup.  (Patch in the works.  The ACPI hooks are
         known; /proc/acpi/alarm can vanish.  Making it work with EFI will
         be a minor challenge to someone with e.g. a MiniMac.)
      
      It's not yet been tested on non-x86 systems, without ACPI, or with HPET.
      And the RTC framework will surely have teething pains on "mainstream"
      PC-based systems (though must embedded Linux systems use it heavily), not
      limited to sorting out the "/dev/rtc0" issue (udev easily tweaked).  Also,
      the ALSA rtctimer code doesn't use the new RTC API.
      
      Otherwise, this should be a no-known-regressions replacement for the old
      drivers/char/rtc.c driver, and should help the non-embedded distros (and
      the new timekeeping code) start to switch to the framework.
      
      Note also that any systems using "rtc-m48t86" are candidates to switch over
      to this more functional driver; the platform data is different, and the way
      bytes are read is different, but otherwise those chips should be compatible.
