[PATCH] chardev: GPIO for SCx200 & PC-8736x: refactor scx200_probe to better segregate _gpio initialization Pull shadow-reg initialization into separate function now, rather than doing it 2x later (scx200, pc8736x). When we revisit 2nd drvr below, it will be to reimplement an init function, rather than another refactor.

Add a new driver command: 'v' which calls gpio_dump() on the pin. The output goes to the log, like all other INFO messages in the original driver. Giving the user control over the feedback they 'need' is construed to be a user-friendly feature, and allows us (later) to dial down many INFO messages to DEBUG log-level.

Shrink scx200_gpio_dump() to a single printk with ternary ops. The function is still ifdef'd out, this is corrected in next patch, when it is actually used. The patch 'inadvertently' changed loglevel from DEBUG to INFO. This is Good, because in next patch, its wired to a 'command' which the user can invoke when they want. When they do so, its because they want INFO to support their developement effort, and we want to give it to them without compiling a DEBUG version of the driver.

Add a platform-device to scx200_gpio, and use its struct device dev member (ie: devp) in dev_dbg() once. There are 2 alternatives here (Im soliciting guidance/commentary): - use isa_device, if/when its added to the kernel. - alter scx200.c to EXPORT_GPL its private devp so that both scx200_gpio, and the (to be added) nsc_gpio module can use it. Since the available devp is in 'grandparent', this seems like too much 'action at a distance'.

GPIO SUPPORT FOR SCx200 & PC8736x The patch-set reworks the 2.4 vintage scx200_gpio driver for modern 2.6, and refactors GPIO support to reuse it in a new driver for the GPIO on PC-8736x chips. Its handy for the Soekris.com net-4801, which has both chips. These patches have been seen recently on Kernel-Mentors, and then Kernel-Newbies ML, where Jesper Juhl kindly reviewed it. His feedback has been incorporated. Thanks Jesper ! Its also gone to soekris-tech@soekris.com for possible testing by linux folks, I've gotten 1 promise so far. Theyre mostly BSD folk over there, but we'll see.. Device-file & Sysfs The driver preserves the existing device-file interface, including the write/cmd set, but adds v to 'view' the pin-settings & configs by inducing, via gpio_dump(), a dev_info() call. Its a fairly crappy way to get status, but it sticks to the syslog approach, conservatively. Allowing users to voluntarily trigger logging is good, it gives them a familiar way to confirm their app's control & use of the pins, and I've thus reduced the pin-mode-updates from dev_info to dev_dbg. I've recently bolted on a proto sysfs interface for both new drivers. Im not including those patches here; they (the patch + doc-pre-patch) are still quite raw (and unreviewed on KNML), and since they 'invent' a convention for GPIO, a proper vetting is needed. Since this patchset is much bigger than my previous ones, Id like to keep things simpler, and address it 1st, before bolting on more stuff. The driver-split The Geode CPU and the PC-87366 Super-IO chip have GPIO units which share a common pin-architecture (same pin features, with same bits controlling), but with different addressing mechanics and port organizations. The vintage driver expresses the pin capabilities with pin-mode commands [OoPpTt],etc that change the pin configurations, and since the 2 chips share pin-arch, we can reuse the read(), write() commands, once the implementation is suitably adjusted. The patchset adds a vtable: struct nsc_gpio_ops, to abstract the existing gpio operations, then adjusts fileops.write() code to invoke operations via that vtable. Driver specific open()s set private_data to the vtable so its available for use by write(). The vtable gets the gpio_dump() too, since its user-friendly, and (could be construed as) part of the current device-file interface. To support use of dev_dbg() in write() & _dump(), the vtable gets a dev ptr too, set by both scx200 & pc8736x _gpio drivers. heres how the pins are presented in syslog: [ 1890.176223] scx200_gpio.0: io00: 0x0044 TS OD PUE EDGE LO DEBOUNCE [ 1890.287223] scx200_gpio.0: io01: 0x0003 OE PP PUD EDGE LO nsc_gpio.c: new file is new home of several file-ops methods, which are modified to get their vtable from filp->private_data, and use it where needed. scx200_gpio.c: keeps some of its existing gpio routines, but now wires them up via the vtable (they're invoked by nsc_gpio.c:nsc_gpio_write() thru this vtable). A driver-spcific open() initializes filp->private_data with the vtable. Once the split is clean, and the scx200_gpio driver is working, we copy and modify the function and variable names, and rework the access-method bodies for the different addressing scheme.

In 2.6.17, there was a problem with cpu_notifiers and XFS. I provided a band-aid solution to solve that problem. In the process, i undid all the changes you both were making to ensure that these notifiers were available only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined). We deferred the real fix to 2.6.18. Here is a set of patches that fixes the XFS problem cleanly and makes the cpu notifiers available only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined). If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined then cpu notifiers are available at run time.

generic_file_buffered_write() prefaults in user pages in order to avoid deadlock on copying from the same page as write goes to. However, it looks like there is a problem when write is vectored: fault_in_pages_readable brings in current segment or its part (maxlen). OTOH, filemap_copy_from_user_iovec is called to copy number of bytes (bytes) which may exceed current segment, so filemap_copy_from_user_iovec switches to the next segment which is not brought in yet. Pagefault is generated. That causes the deadlock if pagefault is for the same page write goes to: page being written is locked and not uptodate, pagefault will deadlock trying to lock locked page.

Move the i386 VDSO down into a vma and thus randomize it. Besides the security implications, this feature also helps debuggers, which can COW a vma-backed VDSO just like a normal DSO and can thus do single-stepping and other debugging features. It's good for hypervisors (Xen, VMWare) too, which typically live in the same high-mapped address space as the VDSO, hence whenever the VDSO is used, they get lots of guest pagefaults and have to fix such guest accesses up - which slows things down instead of speeding things up (the primary purpose of the VDSO). There's a new CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO (default=y) option, which provides support for older glibcs that still rely on a prelinked high-mapped VDSO. Newer distributions (using glibc 2.3.3 or later) can turn this option off. Turning it off is also recommended for security reasons: attackers cannot use the predictable high-mapped VDSO page as syscall trampoline anymore. There is a new vdso=[0|1] boot option as well, and a runtime /proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled sysctl switch, that allows the VDSO to be turned on/off. (This version of the VDSO-randomization patch also has working ELF coredumping, the previous patch crashed in the coredumping code.) This code is a combined work of the exec-shield VDSO randomization code and Gerd Hoffmann's hypervisor-centric VDSO patch. Rusty Russell started this patch and i completed it.

Commit c3ff8ec3 ("[PATCH] i386: Don't miss pending signals returning to user mode after signal processing") meant that vm86 interrupt/signal handling got broken for the case when vm86 is called from kernel space. In this scenario, if signal is pending because of vm86 interrupt, do_notify_resume/do_signal exits immediately due to user_mode() check, without processing any signals. Thus, resume_userspace handler is spinning in a tight loop with signal pending and TIF_SIGPENDING is set. Previously everything worked Ok. No in-tree usage of vm86() from kernel space exists, but I've heard about a number of projects out there which use vm86 calls from kernel, one of them being this, for instance: http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/vesafb-tng/ The following patch fixes the issue.
