      [PATCH] powermac: Combined fixes for backlight code · e01af038
      Michael Hanselmann 提交于
      This patch fixes several problems:
      - pmac_backlight_key() is called under interrupt context, and therefore
        can't use mutexes or semaphores, so defer the backlight level for
        later, as it's not critical (original code by Aristeu S. Rozanski F.
        <aris@valeta.org>).
      - Add exports for functions that might be called from modules
      - Fix Kconfig depdencies on PMAC_BACKLIGHT.
      - Fix locking issues on calls from inside the driver (reported by
        Aristeu S. Rozanski F., too)
      - Fix wrong calculation of backlight values in some of the drivers
      - Replace pmac_backlight_key_up/down by inline functions

      [PATCH] powerpc: fix SMU driver interrupt mapping · f620753b
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      The SMU driver tries to map an interrupt from the device-tree before the
      interrupt controllers in the machine have been enumerated.  This doesn't work
      properly and cause machines like the Quad g5 to fail booting later on when
      some drivers waits endlessly for an SMU request to complete.  This is the
      second problem preventing boot on the Quad g5.  This fixes it and also makes
      the SMU driver a bit more resilient to not having an interrupt.

      [PATCH] powerpc: fix trigger handling in the new irq code · 6e99e458
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This patch slightly reworks the new irq code to fix a small design error.  I
      removed the passing of the trigger to the map() calls entirely, it was not a
      good idea to have one call do two different things.  It also fixes a couple of
      corner cases.
      
      Mapping a linux virtual irq to a physical irq now does only that.  Setting the
      trigger is a different action which has a different call.
      
      The main changes are:
      
      - I no longer call host->ops->map() for an already mapped irq, I just return
        the virtual number that was already mapped.  It was called before to give an
        opportunity to change the trigger, but that was causing issues as that could
        happen while the interrupt was in use by a device, and because of the
        trigger change, map would potentially muck around with things in a racy way.
         That was causing much burden on a given's controller implementation of
        map() to get it right.  This is much simpler now.  map() is only called on
        the initial mapping of an irq, meaning that you know that this irq is _not_
        being used.  You can initialize the hardware if you want (though you don't
        have to).
      
      - Controllers that can handle different type of triggers (level/edge/etc...)
        now implement the standard irq_chip->set_type() call as defined by the
        generic code.  That means that you can use the standard set_irq_type() to
        configure an irq line manually if you wish or (though I don't like that
        interface), pass explicit trigger flags to request_irq() as defined by the
        generic kernel interfaces.  Also, using those interfaces guarantees that
        your controller set_type callback is called with the descriptor lock held,
        thus providing locking against activity on the same interrupt (including
        mask/unmask/etc...) automatically.  A result is that, for example, MPIC's
        own map() implementation calls irq_set_type(NONE) to configure the hardware
        to the default triggers.
      
      - To allow the above, the irq_map array entry for the new mapped interrupt
        is now set before map() callback is called for the controller.
      
      - The irq_create_of_mapping() (also used by irq_of_parse_and_map()) function
        for mapping interrupts from the device-tree now also call the separate
        set_irq_type(), and only does so if there is a change in the trigger type.
      
      - While I was at it, I changed pci_read_irq_line() (which is the helper I
        would expect most archs to use in their pcibios_fixup() to get the PCI
        interrupt routing from the device tree) to also handle a fallback when the
        DT mapping fails consisting of reading the PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN to know wether
        the device has an interrupt at all, and the the PCI_INTERRUPT_LINE to get an
        interrupt number from the device.  That number is then mapped using the
        default controller, and the trigger is set to level low.  That default
        behaviour works for several platforms that don't have a proper interrupt
        tree like Pegasos.  If it doesn't work for your platform, then either
        provide a proper interrupt tree from the firmware so that fallback isn't
        needed, or don't call pci_read_irq_line()
      
      - Add back a bit that got dropped by my main rework patch for properly
        clearing pending IPIs on pSeries when using a kexec

      [POWERPC] Add new interrupt mapping core and change platforms to use it · 0ebfff14
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This adds the new irq remapper core and removes the old one.  Because
      there are some fundamental conflicts with the old code, like the value
      of NO_IRQ which I'm now setting to 0 (as per discussions with Linus),
      etc..., this commit also changes the relevant platform and driver code
      over to use the new remapper (so as not to cause difficulties later
      in bisecting).
      
      This patch removes the old pre-parsing of the open firmware interrupt
      tree along with all the bogus assumptions it made to try to renumber
      interrupts according to the platform. This is all to be handled by the
      new code now.
      
      For the pSeries XICS interrupt controller, a single remapper host is
      created for the whole machine regardless of how many interrupt
      presentation and source controllers are found, and it's set to match
      any device node that isn't a 8259.  That works fine on pSeries and
      avoids having to deal with some of the complexities of split source
      controllers vs. presentation controllers in the pSeries device trees.
      
      The powerpc i8259 PIC driver now always requests the legacy interrupt
      range. It also has the feature of being able to match any device node
      (including NULL) if passed no device node as an input. That will help
      porting over platforms with broken device-trees like Pegasos who don't
      have a proper interrupt tree.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbers · e8222502
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the
      powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism.  With this,
      board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a
      macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened
      device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine.
      
      We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
      _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants.  This commit also
      changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at
      _machine.

      [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes · e041c683
      Alan Stern 提交于
      The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe.  There is no
      protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
      chain is in use.  The issues were discussed in this thread:
      
          http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2
      
      We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
      classes:
      
      	"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
      	and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;
      
      	"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
      	the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.
      
      We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API.  Therefore
      this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
      notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
      really just the old API under a new name).  New kinds of data structures are
      used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
      registration, unregistration, and calling a chain.  The three APIs are
      explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
      kernel/sys.c.
      
      With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
      links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
      entries being added or removed.  For raw chains the implementation provides no
      guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections.  (The
      idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
      blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
      handle these things in their own way.)
      
      There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with.  For
      atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
      a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem.  Also, a
      callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
      entries on its own chain.  (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
      had to be changed to avoid it.)
      
      Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
      spinlocks for synchronization.  Instead we use RCU.  The overhead falls almost
      entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
      less frequent that calling a chain.
      
      Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications.  None
      of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.
      
        ATOMIC CHAINS
        -------------
      arch/i386/kernel/traps.c:		i386die_chain

      net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_expect_chain
      net/netlink/af_netlink.c:		netlink_chain
      
        BLOCKING CHAINS
        ---------------
      arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:	pSeries_reconfig_chain
      arch/s390/kernel/process.c:		idle_chain
      arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c		idle_notifier
      drivers/base/memory.c:			memory_chain
      drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_policy_notifier_list
      drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_transition_notifier_list
      drivers/macintosh/adb.c:		adb_client_list
      drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c		sleep_notifier_list
      drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c		sleep_notifier_list
      drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c	wf_client_list
      drivers/usb/core/notify.c		usb_notifier_list
      drivers/video/fbmem.c			fb_notifier_list
      kernel/cpu.c				cpu_chain
      kernel/module.c				module_notify_list
      kernel/profile.c			munmap_notifier
      kernel/profile.c			task_exit_notifier
      kernel/sys.c				reboot_notifier_list
      net/core/dev.c				netdev_chain
      net/decnet/dn_dev.c:			dnaddr_chain
      net/ipv4/devinet.c:			inetaddr_chain
      
      It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong.  If they are,
      please let us know or submit a patch to fix them.  Note that any chain that
      gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
      used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
      (However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
      atomic.)
      
      The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
      material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
      Morton.
