      intel-idle: convert to x86_cpu_id auto probing · b66b8b9a
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      With this it should be automatically loaded on suitable systems by
udev.

The old switch () is replaced with a table based approach, this
also cleans up the code.

      crypto: Add support for x86 cpuid auto loading for x86 crypto drivers · 3bd391f0
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      Add support for auto-loading of crypto drivers based on cpuid features.
This enables auto-loading of the VIA and Intel specific drivers
for AES, hashing and CRCs.

Requires the earlier infrastructure patch to add x86 modinfo.
I kept it all in a single patch for now.

I dropped the printks when the driver cpuid doesn't match (imho
drivers never should print anything in such a case)

One drawback is that udev doesn't know if the drivers are used or not,
so they will be unconditionally loaded at boot up. That's better
than not loading them at all, like it often happens.

      Add driver auto probing for x86 features v4 · 644e9cbb
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      There's a growing number of drivers that support a specific x86 feature
or CPU.  Currently loading these drivers currently on a generic
distribution requires various driver specific hacks and it often
doesn't work.

This patch adds auto probing for drivers based on the x86 cpuid
information, in particular based on vendor/family/model number
and also based on CPUID feature bits.

For example a common issue is not loading the SSE 4.2 accelerated
CRC module: this can significantly lower the performance of BTRFS
which relies on fast CRC.

Another issue is loading the right CPUFREQ driver for the current CPU.
Currently distributions often try all all possible driver until
one sticks, which is not really a good way to do this.

It works with existing udev without any changes. The code
exports the x86 information as a generic string in sysfs
that can be matched by udev's pattern matching.

This scheme does not support numeric ranges, so if you want to
handle e.g. ranges of model numbers they have to be encoded
in ASCII or simply all models or families listed. Fixing
that would require changing udev.

Another issue is that udev will happily load all drivers that match,
there is currently no nice way to stop a specific driver from
being loaded if it's not needed (e.g. if you don't need fast CRC)
But there are not that many cpu specific drivers around and they're
all not that bloated, so this isn't a particularly serious issue.

Originally this patch added the modalias to the normal cpu
sysdevs. However sysdevs don't have all the infrastructure
needed for udev, so it couldn't really autoload drivers.
This patch instead adds the CPU modaliases to the cpuid devices,
which are real devices with full support for udev. This implies
that the cpuid driver has to be loaded to use this.

This patch just adds infrastructure, some driver conversions
in followups.

Thanks to Kay for helping with some sysfs magic.

v2: Constifcation, some updates
v4: (trenn@suse.de):
    - Use kzalloc instead of kmalloc to terminate modalias buffer
    - Use uppercase hex values to match correctly against hex values containing
      letters

      debugfs: add mode, uid and gid options · d6e48686
      由 Ludwig Nussel 提交于 
      Cautious admins may want to restrict access to debugfs. Currently a
manual chown/chmod e.g. in an init script is needed to achieve that.
Distributions that want to make the mount options configurable need
to add extra config files. By allowing to set the root inode's uid,
gid and mode via mount options no such hacks are needed anymore.
Instead configuration becomes straight forward via fstab.
