      firmware: Fix unaligned memory accesses in dmi-sysfs · 66245ad0
      Mike Waychison 提交于
      DMI entries are arranged in memory back to back with no alignment
      guarantees. This means that the struct dmi_header passed to callbacks
      from dmi_walk() itself isn't byte aligned.  This causes problems on
      architectures that expect aligned data, such as IA64.
      
      The dmi-sysfs patchset introduced structure member accesses through this
      passed in dmi_header.  Fix this by memcpy()ing the structures to
      temporary locations on stack when inspecting/copying them.

      firmware: Expose DMI type 15 System Event Log · a3857a5c
      Mike Waychison 提交于
      The System Event Log described by DMI entry type 15 may be backed by
      either memory or may be indirectly accessed via an IO index/data
      register pair.
      
      In order to get read access to this log, expose it in the
      "system_event_log" sub-directory of type 15 DMI entries, ie:
      /sys/firmware/dmi/entries/15-0/system_event_log/raw_event_log.
      
      This commit handles both IO accessed and memory access system event
      logs.  OEM specific access and GPNV support is explicitly not handled
      and we error out in the logs when we do not recognize the access method.

      firmware: Break out system_event_log in dmi-sysfs · 925a1da7
      Mike Waychison 提交于
      The optional type 15 entry of the DMI table describes a non-volatile
      storage-backed system event log.
      
      In preparation for the next commit which exposes the raw bits of the
      event log to userland, create a new sub-directory within the dmi entry
      called "system_event_log" and expose attribute files that describe the
      event log itself.
      
      Currently, only a single child object is permitted within a
      dmi_sysfs_entry.  We simply point at this child from the dmi_sysfs_entry
      if it exists.

      firmware: Basic dmi-sysfs support · 948af1f0
      Mike Waychison 提交于
      Introduce a new module "dmi-sysfs" that exports the broken out entries
      of the DMI table through sysfs.
      
      Entries are enumerated via dmi_walk() on module load, and are populated
      as kobjects rooted at /sys/firmware/dmi/entries.
      
      Entries are named "<type>-<instance>", where:
         <type>	: is the type of the entry, and
         <instance>	: is the ordinal count within the DMI table of that
      		  entry type.  This instance is used in lieu the DMI
      		  entry's handle as no assurances are made by the kernel
      		  that handles are unique.
      
      All entries export the following attributes:
         length	: The length of the formatted portion of the entry
         handle	: The handle given to this entry by the firmware
         raw		: The raw bytes of the entire entry, including the
      		  formatted portion, the unformatted (strings) portion,
      		  and the two terminating nul characters.
         type		: The DMI entry type
         instance	: The ordinal instance of this entry given its type.
         position	: The position ordinal of the entry within the table in
      		  its entirety.
      
      Entries in dmi-sysfs are kobject backed members called "struct
      dmi_sysfs_entry" and belong to dmi_kset.  They are threaded through
      entry_list (protected by entry_list_lock) so that we can find them at
      cleanup time.

      kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT · 6a108a14
      David Rientjes 提交于
      The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
      is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
      only small devices.
      
      This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
      references to the option throughout the kernel.  A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
      option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
      can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
      considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).
      
      Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
      expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
      are making should enable it.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      firmware_class: make request_firmware_nowait more useful · 9ebfbd45
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Unfortunately, one cannot hold on to the struct firmware
      that request_firmware_nowait() hands off, which is needed
      in some cases. Allow this by requiring the callback to
      free it (via release_firmware).
      
      Additionally, give it a gfp_t parameter -- all the current
      users call it from a GFP_KERNEL context so the GFP_ATOMIC
      isn't necessary. This also marks an API break which is
      useful in a sense, although that is obviously not the
      primary purpose of this change.

      mm: don't use alloc_bootmem_low() where not strictly needed · 3c1596ef
      Jan Beulich 提交于
      Since alloc_bootmem() will never return inaccessible (via virtual
      addressing) memory anyway, using the ..._low() variant only makes sense
      when the physical address range of the allocated memory must fulfill
      further constraints, espacially since on 64-bits (or more generally in all
      cases where the pools the two variants allocate from are than the full
      available range.
      
      Probably the use in alloc_tce_table() could also be eliminated (based on
      code inspection of pci-calgary_64.c), but that seems too risky given I
      know nothing about that hardware and have no way to test it.

      dmi: extend dmi_get_year() to dmi_get_date() · 3e5cd1f2

      There are cases where full date information is required instead of
      just the year.  Add month and day parsing to dmi_get_year() and rename
      it to dmi_get_date().
      
      As the original function only required '/' followed by any number of
      parseable characters at the end of the string, keep that behavior to
      avoid upsetting existing users.
      
      The new function takes dates of format [mm[/dd]]/yy[yy].  Year, month
      and date are checked to be in the ranges of [1-9999], [1-12] and
      [1-31] respectively and any invalid or out-of-range component is
      returned as zero.
      
      The dummy implementation is updated accordingly but the return value
      is updated to indicate field not found which is consistent with how
      other dummy functions behave.

      It is generally agreed that it would be beneficial for u64 to be an
      unsigned long long on all architectures.  ia64 (in common with several
      other 64-bit architectures) currently uses unsigned long.  Migrating
      piecemeal is too painful; this giant patch fixes all compilation warnings
      and errors that come as a result of switching to use int-ll64.h.
      
      Note that userspace will still see __u64 defined as unsigned long.  This
      is important as it affects C++ name mangling.
