      MCA: delete all remaining traces of microchannel bus support. · bb8187d3
      Paul Gortmaker 提交于
      Hardware with MCA bus is limited to 386 and 486 class machines
      that are now 20+ years old and typically with less than 32MB
      of memory.  A quick search on the internet, and you see that
      even the MCA hobbyist/enthusiast community has lost interest
      in the early 2000 era and never really even moved ahead from
      the 2.4 kernels to the 2.6 series.
      
      This deletes anything remaining related to CONFIG_MCA from core
      kernel code and from the x86 architecture.  There is no point in
      carrying this any further into the future.
      
      One complication to watch for is inadvertently scooping up
      stuff relating to machine check, since there is overlap in
      the TLA name space (e.g. arch/x86/boot/mca.c).

      ARM: tegra: Add Tegra AHB driver · 87d0bab2
      Hiroshi DOYU 提交于
      Tegra AHB Bus conforms to the AMBA Specification (Rev 2.0) Advanced
      High-performance Bus (AHB) architecture.
      
      The AHB Arbiter controls AHB bus master arbitration. This effectively
      forms a second level of arbitration for access to the memory
      controller through the AHB Slave Memory device. The AHB pre-fetch
      logic can be configured to enhance performance for devices doing
      sequential access. Each AHB master is assigned to either the high or
      low priority bin. Both Tegra20/30 have this AHB bus.
      
      Some of configuration params could be passed from DT too if needed.

      rpmsg: add virtio-based remote processor messaging bus · bcabbcca
      Ohad Ben-Cohen 提交于
      Add a virtio-based inter-processor communication bus, which enables
      kernel drivers to communicate with entities, running on remote
      processors, over shared memory using a simple messaging protocol.
      
      Every pair of AMP processors share two vrings, which are used to send
      and receive the messages over shared memory.
      
      The header of every message sent on the rpmsg bus contains src and dst
      addresses, which make it possible to multiplex several rpmsg channels on
      the same vring.
      
      Every rpmsg channel is a device on this bus. When a channel is added,
      and an appropriate rpmsg driver is found and probed, it is also assigned
      a local rpmsg address, which is then bound to the driver's callback.
      
      When inbound messages carry the local address of a bound driver,
      its callback is invoked by the bus.
      
      This patch provides a kernel interface only; user space interfaces
      will be later exposed by kernel users of this rpmsg bus.

      remoteproc: add framework for controlling remote processors · 400e64df
      Ohad Ben-Cohen 提交于
      Modern SoCs typically employ a central symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)
      application processor running Linux, with several other asymmetric
      multiprocessing (AMP) heterogeneous processors running different instances
      of operating system, whether Linux or any other flavor of real-time OS.
      
      Booting a remote processor in an AMP configuration typically involves:
      - Loading a firmware which contains the OS image
      - Allocating and providing it required system resources (e.g. memory)
      - Programming an IOMMU (when relevant)
      - Powering on the device
      
      This patch introduces a generic framework that allows drivers to do
      that. In the future, this framework will also include runtime power
      management and error recovery.

      drivers: create a pin control subsystem · 2744e8af
      Linus Walleij 提交于
      This creates a subsystem for handling of pin control devices.
      These are devices that control different aspects of package
      pins.
      
      Currently it handles pinmuxing, i.e. assigning electronic
      functions to groups of pins on primarily PGA and BGA type of
      chip packages which are common in embedded systems.
      
      The plan is to also handle other I/O pin control aspects
      such as biasing, driving, input properties such as
      schmitt-triggering, load capacitance etc within this
      subsystem, to remove a lot of ARM arch code as well as
      feature-creepy GPIO drivers which are implementing the same
      thing over and over again.
      
      This is being done to depopulate the arch/arm/* directory
      of such custom drivers and try to abstract the infrastructure
      they all need. See the Documentation/pinctrl.txt file that is
      part of this patch for more details.
      
      ChangeLog v1->v2:
      
      - Various minor fixes from Joe's and Stephens review comments
      - Added a pinmux_config() that can invoke custom configuration
        with arbitrary data passed in or out to/from the pinmux driver
      
      ChangeLog v2->v3:
      
      - Renamed subsystem folder to "pinctrl" since we will likely
        want to keep other pin control such as biasing in this
        subsystem too, so let us keep to something generic even though
        we're mainly doing pinmux now.
      - As a consequence, register pins as an abstract entity separate
        from the pinmux. The muxing functions will claim pins out of the
        pin pool and make sure they do not collide. Pins can now be
        named by the pinctrl core.
      - Converted the pin lookup from a static array into a radix tree,
        I agreed with Grant Likely to try to avoid any static allocation
        (which is crap for device tree stuff) so I just rewrote this
        to be dynamic, just like irq number descriptors. The
        platform-wide definition of number of pins goes away - this is
        now just the sum total of the pins registered to the subsystem.
      - Make sure mappings with only a function name and no device
        works properly.
      
      ChangeLog v3->v4:
      
      - Define a number space per controller instead of globally,
        Stephen and Grant requested the same thing so now maps need to
        define target controller, and the radix tree of pin descriptors
        is a property on each pin controller device.
      - Add a compulsory pinctrl device entry to the pinctrl mapping
        table. This must match the pinctrl device, like "pinctrl.0"
      - Split the file core.c in two: core.c and pinmux.c where the
        latter carry all pinmux stuff, the core is for generic pin
        control, and use local headers to access functionality between
        files. It is now possible to implement a "blank" pin controller
        without pinmux capabilities. This split will make new additions
        like pindrive.c, pinbias.c etc possible for combined drivers
        and chunks of functionality which is a GoodThing(TM).
      - Rewrite the interaction with the GPIO subsystem - the pin
        controller descriptor now handles this by defining an offset
        into the GPIO numberspace for its handled pin range. This is
        used to look up the apropriate pin controller for a GPIO pin.
        Then that specific GPIO range is matched 1-1 for the target
        controller instance.
      - Fixed a number of review comments from Joe Perches.
      - Broke out a header file pinctrl.h for the core pin handling
        stuff that will be reused by other stuff than pinmux.
      - Fixed some erroneous EXPORT() stuff.
      - Remove mispatched U300 Kconfig and Makefile entries
      - Fixed a number of review comments from Stephen Warren, not all
        of them - still WIP. But I think the new mapping that will
        specify which function goes to which pin mux controller address
        50% of your concerns (else beat me up).
      
      ChangeLog v4->v5:
      
      - Defined a "position" for each function, so the pin controller now
        tracks a function in a certain position, and the pinmux maps define
        what position you want the function in. (Feedback from Stephen
        Warren and Sascha Hauer).
      - Since we now need to request a combined function+position from
        the machine mapping table that connect mux settings to drivers,
        it was extended with a position field and a name field. The
        name field is now used if you e.g. need to switch between two
        mux map settings at runtime.
      - Switched from a class device to using struct bus_type for this
        subsystem. Verified sysfs functionality: seems to work fine.
        (Feedback from Arnd Bergmann and Greg Kroah-Hartman)
      - Define a per pincontroller list of GPIO ranges from the GPIO
        pin space that can be handled by the pin controller. These can
        be added one by one at runtime. (Feedback from Barry Song)
      - Expanded documentation of regulator_[get|enable|disable|put]
        semantics.
      - Fixed a number of review comments from Barry Song. (Thanks!)
      
      ChangeLog v5->v6:
      
      - Create an abstract pin group concept that can sort pins into
        named and enumerated groups no matter what the use of these
        groups may be, one possible usecase is a group of pins being
        muxed in or so. The intention is however to also use these
        groups for other pin control activities.
      - Make it compulsory for pinmux functions to associate with
        at least one group, so the abstract pin group concept is used
        to define the groups of pins affected by a pinmux function.
        The pinmux driver interface has been altered so as to enforce
        a function to list applicable groups per function.
      - Provide an optional .group entry in the pinmux machine map
        so the map can select beteween different available groups
        to be used with a certain function.
      - Consequent changes all over the place so that e.g. debugfs
        present reasonable information about the world.
      - Drop the per-pin mux (*config) function in the pinmux_ops
        struct - I was afraid that this would start to be used for
        things totally unrelated to muxing, we can introduce that to
        the generic struct pinctrl_ops if needed. I want to keep
        muxing orthogonal to other pin control subjects and not mix
        these things up.
      
      ChangeLog v6->v7:
      
      - Make it possible to have several map entries matching the
        same device, pin controller and function, but using
        a different group, and alter the semantics so that
        pinmux_get() will pick all matching map entries, and
        store the associated groups in a list. The list will
        then be iterated over at pinmux_enable()/pinmux_disable()
        and corresponding driver functions called for each
        defined group. Notice that you're only allowed to map
        multiple *groups* to the same
        { device, pin controller, function } triplet, attempts
        to map the same device to multiple pin controllers will
        for example fail. This is hopefully the crucial feature
        requested by Stephen Warren.
      - Add a pinmux hogging field to the pinmux mapping entries,
        and enable the pinmux core to hog pinmux map entries.
        This currently only works for pinmuxes without assigned
        devices as it looks now, but with device trees we can
        look up the corresponding struct device * entries when
        we register the pinmux driver, and have it hog each
        pinmux map in turn, for a simple approach to
        non-dynamic pin muxing. This addresses an issue from
        Grant Likely that the machine should take care of as
        much of the pinmux setup as possible, not the devices.
        By supplying a list of hogs, it can now instruct the
        core to take care of any static mappings.
      - Switch pinmux group retrieveal function to grab an
        array of strings representing the groups rather than an
        array of unsigned and rewrite accordingly.
      - Alter debugfs to show the grouplist handled by each
        pinmux. Also add a list of hogs.
      - Dynamically allocate a struct pinmux at pinmux_get() and
        free it at pinmux_put(), then add these to the global
        list of pinmuxes active as we go along.
      - Go over the list of pinmux maps at pinmux_get() time
        and repeatedly apply matches.
      - Retrieve applicable groups per function from the driver
        as a string array rather than a unsigned array, then
        lookup the enumerators.
      - Make the device to pinmux map a singleton - only allow the
        mapping table to be registered once and even tag the
        registration function with __init so it surely won't be
        abused.
      - Create a separate debugfs file to view the pinmux map at
        runtime.
      - Introduce a spin lock to the pin descriptor struct, lock it
        when modifying pin status entries. Reported by Stijn Devriendt.
      - Fix up the documentation after review from Stephen Warren.
      - Let the GPIO ranges give names as const char * instead of some
        fixed-length string.
      - add a function to unregister GPIO ranges to mirror the
        registration function.
      - Privatized the struct pinctrl_device and removed it from the
        <linux/pinctrl/pinctrl.h> API, the drivers do not need to know
        the members of this struct. It is now in the local header
        "core.h".
      - Rename the concept of "anonymous" mux maps to "system" muxes
        and add convenience macros and documentation.
      
      ChangeLog v7->v8:
      
      - Delete the leftover pinmux_config() function from the
       <linux/pinctrl/pinmux.h> header.
      - Fix a race condition found by Stijn Devriendt in pin_request()
      
      ChangeLog v8->v9:
      
      - Drop the bus_type and the sysfs attributes and all, we're not on
        the clear about how this should be used for e.g. userspace
        interfaces so let us save this for the future.
      - Use the right name in MAINTAINERS, PIN CONTROL rather than
        PINMUX
      - Don't kfree() the device state holder, let the .remove() callback
        handle this.
      - Fix up numerous kerneldoc headers to have one line for the function
        description and more verbose documentation below the parameters
      
      ChangeLog v9->v10:
      - pinctrl: EXPORT_SYMBOL needs export.h, folded in a patch
        from Steven Rothwell
      - fix pinctrl_register error handling, folded in a patch from
        Axel Lin
      - Various fixes to documentation text so that it's consistent.
      - Removed pointless comment from drivers/Kconfig
      - Removed dependency on SYSFS since we removed the bus in
        v9.
      - Renamed hopelessly abbreviated pctldev_* functions to the
        more verbose pinctrl_dev_*
      - Drop mutex properly when looking up GPIO ranges
      - Return NULL instead of ERR_PTR() errors on registration of
        pin controllers, using cast pointers is fragile. We can
        live without the detailed error codes for sure.

      PM: Introduce devfreq: generic DVFS framework with device-specific OPPs · a3c98b8b
      MyungJoo Ham 提交于
      With OPPs, a device may have multiple operable frequency and voltage
      sets. However, there can be multiple possible operable sets and a system
      will need to choose one from them. In order to reduce the power
      consumption (by reducing frequency and voltage) without affecting the
      performance too much, a Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS)
      scheme may be used.
      
      This patch introduces the DVFS capability to non-CPU devices with OPPs.
      DVFS is a techique whereby the frequency and supplied voltage of a
      device is adjusted on-the-fly. DVFS usually sets the frequency as low
      as possible with given conditions (such as QoS assurance) and adjusts
      voltage according to the chosen frequency in order to reduce power
      consumption and heat dissipation.
      
      The generic DVFS for devices, devfreq, may appear quite similar with
      /drivers/cpufreq.  However, cpufreq does not allow to have multiple
      devices registered and is not suitable to have multiple heterogenous
      devices with different (but simple) governors.
      
      Normally, DVFS mechanism controls frequency based on the demand for
      the device, and then, chooses voltage based on the chosen frequency.
      devfreq also controls the frequency based on the governor's frequency
      recommendation and let OPP pick up the pair of frequency and voltage
      based on the recommended frequency. Then, the chosen OPP is passed to
      device driver's "target" callback.
      
      When PM QoS is going to be used with the devfreq device, the device
      driver should enable OPPs that are appropriate with the current PM QoS
      requests. In order to do so, the device driver may call opp_enable and
      opp_disable at the notifier callback of PM QoS so that PM QoS's
      update_target() call enables the appropriate OPPs. Note that at least
      one of OPPs should be enabled at any time; be careful when there is a
      transition.

      drivers/virt: introduce Freescale hypervisor management driver · 6db71994
      Timur Tabi 提交于
      Add the drivers/virt directory, which houses drivers that support
      virtualization environments, and add the Freescale hypervisor management
      driver.
      
      The Freescale hypervisor management driver provides several services to
      drivers and applications related to the Freescale hypervisor:
      
      1. An ioctl interface for querying and managing partitions
      
      2. A file interface to reading incoming doorbells
      
      3. An interrupt handler for shutting down the partition upon receiving the
         shutdown doorbell from a manager partition
      
      4. A kernel interface for receiving callbacks when a managed partition
         shuts down.

      bcma: add Broadcom specific AMBA bus driver · 8369ae33
      Rafał Miłecki 提交于
      Broadcom has released cards based on a new AMBA-based bus type. From a
      programming point of view, this new bus type differs from AMBA and does
      not use AMBA common registers. It also differs enough from SSB. We
      decided that a new bus driver is needed to keep the code clean.
      
      In its current form, the driver detects devices present on the bus and
      registers them in the system. It allows registering BCMA drivers for
      specified bus devices and provides them basic operations. The bus driver
      itself includes two important bus managing drivers: ChipCommon core
      driver and PCI(c) core driver. They are early used to allow correct
      initialization.
      
      Currently code is limited to supporting buses on PCI(e) devices, however
      the driver is designed to be used also on other hosts. The host
      abstraction layer is implemented and already used for PCI(e).
      
      Support for PCI(e) hosts is working and seems to be stable (access to
      80211 core was tested successfully on a few devices). We can still
      optimize it by using some fixed windows, but this can be done later
      without affecting any external code. Windows are just ranges in MMIO
      used for accessing cores on the bus.

      ieee1394: remove the old IEEE 1394 driver stack · 66fa12c5
      Stefan Richter 提交于
      The drivers
        - ohci1394 (controller driver)
        - ieee1394 (core)
        - dv1394, raw1394, video1394 (userspace ABI)
        - eth1394, sbp2 (protocol drivers)
      are replaced by
        - firewire-ohci (controller driver)
        - firewire-core (core and userspace ABI)
        - firewire-net, firewire-sbp2 (protocol drivers)
      which are more featureful, better performing, and more secure than the older
      drivers; all with a smaller and more modern code base.
      
      The driver firedtv in drivers/media/dvb/firewire/ contains backends to both
      ieee1394 and firewire-core.  Its ieee1394 backend code can be removed in an
      independent commit; firedtv as-is builds and works fine without ieee1394.
      
      The driver pcilynx (an incomplete controller driver) is deleted without
      replacement since PCILynx cards are extremely rare.  Owners of these cards
      use them with the stand-alone bus sniffer driver nosy instead.
      
      The drivers nosy and init_ohci1394_dma which do not interact with either of
      the two IEEE 1394 stacks are not affected by the ieee1394 subsystem removal.
      
      There are still some issues with the newer firewire subsystem compared to
      the older one:
        - The rare and quirky controllers ALi M52xx, Apple UniNorth v1, NVIDIA
          NForce2 are even less well supported by firewire-ohci than by ohci1394.
          I am looking into the M52xx issue.
        - The experimental firewire-net is reportedly less stable than its
          experimental cousin eth1394.
        - Audio playback of a certain group of audio devices (ones based on DICE
          chipset with EAP; supported by prerelease FFADO code) does not work yet.
          This issue is still under investigation.
        - There were some ieee1394 based out-of-the-mainline drivers.  Of them,
          only lisight, an audio driver for iSight webcams, seems still useful.
          Work is underway to reimplement it on top of firewire-core.
      
      All these remainig issues are minor; they should not stand in the way of
      overall better user experience of IEEE 1394 on Linux, together with a
      reduction in support efforts and maintenance burden.  The coexistence of two
      IEEE 1394 kernel driver stacks in the mainline since 2.6.22 shall end now,
      as announced earlier this year.

      firewire: nosy: fix build when CONFIG_FIREWIRE=N · 8702d33a
      Stefan Richter 提交于
      drivers/firewire/nosy* is a stand-alone driver that does not depend on
      CONFIG_FIREWIRE.  Hence let make descend into drivers/firewire/ also
      if that option is off.
      
      The stand-alone driver drivers/ieee1394/init_ohci1394_dma*  will soon be
      moved into drivers/firewire/ too and will require the same makefile fix.
      
      Side effect:
      As mentioned in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=586172#c24
      this influences the order in which either firewire-ohci or ohci1394 is
      going to be bound to an OHCI-1394 controller in case of a modular build
      of both drivers if no modprobe blacklist entries are configured.
      However, a user of such a setup cannot expect deterministic behavior
      anyway.  The Kconfig help and the migration guide at
      ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org recommend blacklist entries when a dual
      IEEE 1394 stack build is being used.  (The coexistence period of the two
      stacks is planned to end soon.)

      intel_idle: native hardware cpuidle driver for latest Intel processors · 26717172
      Len Brown 提交于
      This EXPERIMENTAL driver supersedes acpi_idle on
      Intel Atom Processors, Intel Core i3/i5/i7 Processors
      and associated Intel Xeon processors.
      
      It does not support the Intel Core2 processor or earlier.
      
      For kernels configured with ACPI, CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=y
      allows intel_idle to probe before the ACPI processor driver.
      Booting with "intel_idle.max_cstate=0" disables intel_idle
      and the system will fall back on ACPI's "acpi_idle".
      
      Typical Linux distributions load ACPI processor module early,
      making CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=m not easily useful on ACPI platforms.
      
      intel_idle probes all processors at module_init time.
      Processors that are hot-added later will be limited
      to using C1 in idle.

      vhost_net: a kernel-level virtio server · 3a4d5c94
      Michael S. Tsirkin 提交于
      What it is: vhost net is a character device that can be used to reduce
      the number of system calls involved in virtio networking.
      Existing virtio net code is used in the guest without modification.
      
      There's similarity with vringfd, with some differences and reduced scope
      - uses eventfd for signalling
      - structures can be moved around in memory at any time (good for
        migration, bug work-arounds in userspace)
      - write logging is supported (good for migration)
      - support memory table and not just an offset (needed for kvm)
      
      common virtio related code has been put in a separate file vhost.c and
      can be made into a separate module if/when more backends appear.  I used
      Rusty's lguest.c as the source for developing this part : this supplied
      me with witty comments I wouldn't be able to write myself.
      
      What it is not: vhost net is not a bus, and not a generic new system
      call. No assumptions are made on how guest performs hypercalls.
      Userspace hypervisors are supported as well as kvm.
      
      How it works: Basically, we connect virtio frontend (configured by
      userspace) to a backend. The backend could be a network device, or a tap
      device.  Backend is also configured by userspace, including vlan/mac
      etc.
      
      Status: This works for me, and I haven't see any crashes.
      Compared to userspace, people reported improved latency (as I save up to
      4 system calls per packet), as well as better bandwidth and CPU
      utilization.
      
      Features that I plan to look at in the future:
      - mergeable buffers
      - zero copy
      - scalability tuning: figure out the best threading model to use
      
      Note on RCU usage (this is also documented in vhost.h, near
      private_pointer which is the value protected by this variant of RCU):
      what is happening is that the rcu_dereference() is being used in a
      workqueue item.  The role of rcu_read_lock() is taken on by the start of
      execution of the workqueue item, of rcu_read_unlock() by the end of
      execution of the workqueue item, and of synchronize_rcu() by
      flush_workqueue()/flush_work(). In the future we might need to apply
      some gcc attribute or sparse annotation to the function passed to
      INIT_WORK(). Paul's ack below is for this RCU usage.
