      rcu: Switch task's syscall hooks on context switch · 04e7e951
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Clear the syscalls hook of a task when it's scheduled out so that if
      the task migrates, it doesn't run the syscall slow path on a CPU
      that might not need it.
      
      Also set the syscalls hook on the next task if needed.

      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      Allow user-space processes to use transactional execution (TX).
      If the TX facility is available user space programs can use
      transactions for fine-grained serialization based on the data
      objects that are referenced during a transaction. This is
      useful for lockless data structures and speculative compiler

      rcu: New rcu_user_enter_after_irq() and rcu_user_exit_after_irq() APIs · 19dd1591
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      In some cases, it is necessary to enter or exit userspace-RCU-idle mode
      from an interrupt handler, for example, if some other CPU sends this
      CPU a resched IPI.  In this case, the current CPU would enter the IPI
      handler in userspace-RCU-idle mode, but would need to exit the IPI handler
      after having exited that mode.
      
      To allow this to work, this commit adds two new APIs to TREE_RCU:
      
      - rcu_user_enter_after_irq(). This must be called from an interrupt between
      rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit().  After the irq calls rcu_irq_exit(),
      the irq handler will return into an RCU extended quiescent state.
      In theory, this interrupt is never a nested interrupt, but in practice
      it might interrupt softirq, which looks to RCU like a nested interrupt.
      
      - rcu_user_exit_after_irq(). This must be called from a non-nesting
      interrupt, interrupting an RCU extended quiescent state, also
      between rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit(). After the irq calls
      rcu_irq_exit(), the irq handler will return in an RCU non-quiescent
      state.

      rcu: New rcu_user_enter() and rcu_user_exit() APIs · adf5091e
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      RCU currently insists that only idle tasks can enter RCU idle mode, which
      prohibits an adaptive tickless kernel (AKA nohz cpusets), which in turn
      would mean that usermode execution would always take scheduling-clock
      interrupts, even when there is only one task runnable on the CPU in
      question.
      
      This commit therefore adds rcu_user_enter() and rcu_user_exit(), which
      allow non-idle tasks to enter RCU idle mode.  These are quite similar
      to rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit(), respectively, except that they
      omit the idle-task checks.

      anish kumar 提交于
      Driver to allow use of the ADC drivers supported by the IIO
      subsystem for battery status monitoring. Connecting this
      driver to the relevant IIO device requires registration of

      driver (usually from platform data).  If specified the driver
      will also make use of a gpio to provide interrupt driven
      notification that the battery is fully charged.
      
      In last version:
      Addressed concerns raised by lars:
      a. made the adc_bat per device.

      xfrm_user: ensure user supplied esn replay window is valid · ecd79187
      Mathias Krause 提交于
      The current code fails to ensure that the netlink message actually
      contains as many bytes as the header indicates. If a user creates a new
      state or updates an existing one but does not supply the bytes for the
      whole ESN replay window, the kernel copies random heap bytes into the
      replay bitmap, the ones happen to follow the XFRMA_REPLAY_ESN_VAL
      netlink attribute. This leads to following issues:
      
      1. The replay window has random bits set confusing the replay handling
         code later on.
      
      2. A malicious user could use this flaw to leak up to ~3.5kB of heap
         memory when she has access to the XFRM netlink interface (requires
         CAP_NET_ADMIN).
      
      Known users of the ESN replay window are strongSwan and Steffen's
      iproute2 patch (<http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/85962/>). The latter
      uses the interface with a bitmap supplied while the former does not.
      strongSwan is therefore prone to run into issue 1.
      
      To fix both issues without breaking existing userland allow using the
      XFRMA_REPLAY_ESN_VAL netlink attribute with either an empty bitmap or a
      fully specified one. For the former case we initialize the in-kernel
      bitmap with zero, for the latter we copy the user supplied bitmap. For
      state updates the full bitmap must be supplied.
      
      To prevent overflows in the bitmap length calculation the maximum size
      of bmp_len is limited to 128 by this patch -- resulting in a maximum
      replay window of 4096 packets. This should be sufficient for all real
      life scenarios (RFC 4303 recommends a default replay window size of 64).

      of/irq: Create stub for of_irq_find_parent when !CONFIG_OF · 62861095
      Lee Jones 提交于
      of_irq_find_parent is a handy function to use outside the confines of
      the Open Firmware subsystem. One such use-case is when the IRQ Domain
      wishes to find an IRQ domain for a given device node. Currently it can
      not take any notice of the 'interrupt-parent' property. Instead it
      just uses the first IRQ controller as it climbs the Device Tree. If
      we were to use this as a precursor the resultant controller is more
      likely to be correct.

      ARM: bcm2835: add system timer · ee4af569
      Simon Arlott 提交于
      The System Timer peripheral provides four 32-bit timer channels and a
      single 64-bit free running counter. Each channel has an output compare
      register, which is compared against the 32 least significant bits of the
      free running counter values, and generates an interrupt.
      
      Timer 3 is used as the Linux timer.
      
      The BCM2835 also contains an SP804-based timer module. However, it
      apparently has significant differences from the standard SP804 IP block,
      and Broadcom's documentation recommends using the system timer instead.

      * Moved to drivers/clocksource/. This looks like the desired location for

      ARM: bcm2835: add interrupt controller driver · 89214f00
      Simon Arlott 提交于
      The BCM2835 contains a custom interrupt controller, which supports 72
      interrupt sources using a 2-level register scheme. The interrupt
      controller, or the HW block containing it, is referred to occasionally
      as "armctrl" in the SoC documentation, hence the symbol naming in the
      code.
      
      This patch was extracted from git://github.com/lp0/linux.git branch
      rpi-split as of 2012/09/08, and modified as follows:
      
      * s/bcm2708/bcm2835/.
      * Modified device tree vendor prefix.
      * Moved implementation to drivers/irchip/.
      * Added devicetree documentation, and hence removed list of IRQs from
        bcm2835.dtsi.
      * Changed shift in MAKE_HWIRQ() and HWIRQ_BANK() from 8 to 5 to reduce
        the size of the hwirq space, and pass the total size of the hwirq space
        to irq_domain_add_linear(), rather than just the number of valid hwirqs;
        the two are different due to the hwirq space being sparse.
      * Added the interrupt controller DT node to the top-level of the DT,
        rather than nesting it inside a /axi node. Hence, changed the reg value
        since /axi had a ranges property. This seems simpler to me, but I'm not
        sure if everyone will like this change or not.
      * Don't set struct irq_domain_ops.map = irq_domain_simple_map, hence
        removing the need to patch include/linux/irqdomain.h or
        kernel/irq/irqdomain.c.
      * Simplified armctrl_of_init() using of_iomap().
      * Removed unused IS_VALID_BANK()/IS_VALID_IRQ() macros.
      * Renamed armctrl_handle_irq() to prevent possible symbol clashes.
      * Made armctrl_of_init() static.
      * Removed comment "Each bank is registered as a separate interrupt
        controller" since this is no longer true.
      * Removed FSF address from license header.
      * Added my name to copyright header.
