      /dev/dax, pmem: direct access to persistent memory · ab68f262
      Dan Williams 提交于
      Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem DAX
      (CONFIG_FS_DAX).  It allows memory ranges to be allocated and mapped
      without need of an intervening file system.  Device DAX is strict,
      precise and predictable.  Specifically this interface:
      
      1/ Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size (pte,
      pmd, or pud) set at configuration time.
      
      2/ Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about what fault
      scenarios are supported.
      
      For example, by forcing MADV_DONTFORK semantics and omitting MAP_PRIVATE
      support device-dax guarantees that a mapping always behaves/performs the
      same once established.  It is the "what you see is what you get" access
      mechanism to differentiated memory vs filesystem DAX which has
      filesystem specific implementation semantics.
      
      Persistent memory is the first target, but the mechanism is also
      targeted for exclusive allocations of performance differentiated memory
      ranges.
      
      This commit is limited to the base device driver infrastructure to
      associate a dax device with pmem range.

      lightnvm: Support for Open-Channel SSDs · cd9e9808
      Matias Bjørling 提交于
      Open-channel SSDs are devices that share responsibilities with the host
      in order to implement and maintain features that typical SSDs keep
      strictly in firmware. These include (i) the Flash Translation Layer
      (FTL), (ii) bad block management, and (iii) hardware units such as the
      flash controller, the interface controller, and large amounts of flash
      chips. In this way, Open-channels SSDs exposes direct access to their
      physical flash storage, while keeping a subset of the internal features
      of SSDs.
      
      LightNVM is a specification that gives support to Open-channel SSDs
      LightNVM allows the host to manage data placement, garbage collection,
      and parallelism. Device specific responsibilities such as bad block
      management, FTL extensions to support atomic IOs, or metadata
      persistence are still handled by the device.
      
      The implementation of LightNVM consists of two parts: core and
      (multiple) targets. The core implements functionality shared across
      targets. This is initialization, teardown and statistics. The targets
      implement the interface that exposes physical flash to user-space
      applications. Examples of such targets include key-value store,
      object-store, as well as traditional block devices, which can be
      application-specific.

      intel_th: Add driver infrastructure for Intel(R) Trace Hub devices · 39f40346
      Alexander Shishkin 提交于
      Intel(R) Trace Hub (TH) is a set of hardware blocks (subdevices) that
      produce, switch and output trace data from multiple hardware and
      software sources over several types of trace output ports encoded
      in System Trace Protocol (MIPI STPv2) and is intended to perform
      full system debugging.
      
      For these subdevices, we create a bus, where they can be discovered
      and configured by userspace software.
      
      This patch creates this bus infrastructure, three types of devices
      (source, output, switch), resource allocation, some callback mechanisms
      to facilitate communication between the subdevices' drivers and some
      common sysfs attributes.

      stm class: Introduce an abstraction for System Trace Module devices · 7bd1d409
      Alexander Shishkin 提交于
      A System Trace Module (STM) is a device exporting data in System Trace
      Protocol (STP) format as defined by MIPI STP standards. Examples of such
      devices are Intel(R) Trace Hub and Coresight STM.
      
      This abstraction provides a unified interface for software trace sources
      to send their data over an STM device to a debug host. In order to do
      that, such a trace source needs to be assigned a pair of master/channel
      identifiers that all the data from this source will be tagged with. The
      STP decoder on the debug host side will use these master/channel tags to
      distinguish different trace streams from one another inside one STP
      stream.
      
      This abstraction provides a configfs-based policy management mechanism
      for dynamic allocation of these master/channel pairs based on trace
      source-supplied string identifier. It has the flexibility of being
      defined at runtime and at the same time (provided that the policy
      definition is aligned with the decoding end) consistency.
      
      For userspace trace sources, this abstraction provides write()-based and
      mmap()-based (if the underlying stm device allows this) output mechanism.
      
      For kernel-side trace sources, we provide "stm_source" device class that
      can be connected to an stm device at run time.

      i2o: move to staging · 2cbf7fe2
      Alan Cox 提交于
      The I2O layer deals with a technology that to say the least didn't catch on
      in the market.
      
      The only relevant products are some of the AMI MegaRAID - which supported I2O
      and its native mode (The native mode is faster and runs on Linux), an
      obscure crypto ethernet card that's now so many years out of date nobody
      would use it, the old DPT controllers, which speak their own dialect and
      have their own driver - and ermm.. thats about it.
      
      We also know the code isn't in good shape as recently a patch was proposed
      and queried as buggy, which in turn showed the existing code was broken
      already by prior "clean up" and nobody had noticed that either.
      
      It's coding style robot code nothing more. Like some forgotten corridor
      cleaned relentlessly by a lost Roomba but where no user has trodden in years.
      
      Move it to staging and then to /dev/null.
      
      The headers remain as they are shared with dpt_i2o.

      soc: ti: add Keystone Navigator QMSS driver · 41f93af9
      Sandeep Nair 提交于
      The QMSS (Queue Manager Sub System) found on Keystone SOCs is one of
      the main hardware sub system which forms the backbone of the Keystone
      Multi-core Navigator. QMSS consist of queue managers, packed-data structure
      processors(PDSP), linking RAM, descriptor pools and infrastructure
      Packet DMA.
      
      The Queue Manager is a hardware module that is responsible for accelerating
      management of the packet queues. Packets are queued/de-queued by writing or
      reading descriptor address to a particular memory mapped location. The PDSPs
      perform QMSS related functions like accumulation, QoS, or event management.
      Linking RAM registers are used to link the descriptors which are stored in
      descriptor RAM. Descriptor RAM is configurable as internal or external memory.
      
      The QMSS driver manages the PDSP setups, linking RAM regions,
      queue pool management (allocation, push, pop and notify) and descriptor
      pool management. The specifics on the device tree bindings for
      QMSS can be found in:

      add single-wire serial bus interface (SSBI) driver · e44b0cee
      Kenneth Heitke 提交于
      SSBI is the Qualcomm single-wire serial bus interface used to connect
      the MSM devices to the PMIC and other devices.
      
      Since SSBI only supports a single slave, the driver gets the name of the
      slave device passed in from the board file through the master device's
      platform data.
      
      SSBI registers pretty early (postcore), so that the PMIC can come up
      before the board init. This is useful if the board init requires the
      use of gpios that are connected through the PMIC.
      
      Based on a patch by Dima Zavin <dima@android.com> that can be found at:
      http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/msm.git;a=commitdiff;h=eb060bac4
      
      This patch adds PMIC Arbiter support for the MSM8660. The PMIC Arbiter
      is a hardware wrapper around the SSBI 2.0 controller that is designed to
      overcome concurrency issues and security limitations.  A controller_type
      field is added to the platform data to specify the type of the SSBI
      controller (1.0, 2.0, or PMIC Arbiter).

      PCI-Express Non-Transparent Bridge Support · fce8a7bb
      Jon Mason 提交于
      A PCI-Express non-transparent bridge (NTB) is a point-to-point PCIe bus
      connecting 2 systems, providing electrical isolation between the two subsystems.
      A non-transparent bridge is functionally similar to a transparent bridge except
      that both sides of the bridge have their own independent address domains.  The
      host on one side of the bridge will not have the visibility of the complete
      memory or I/O space on the other side of the bridge.  To communicate across the
      non-transparent bridge, each NTB endpoint has one (or more) apertures exposed to
      the local system.  Writes to these apertures are mirrored to memory on the
      remote system.  Communications can also occur through the use of doorbell
      registers that initiate interrupts to the alternate domain, and scratch-pad
      registers accessible from both sides.
      
      The NTB device driver is needed to configure these memory windows, doorbell, and
      scratch-pad registers as well as use them in such a way as they can be turned
      into a viable communication channel to the remote system.  ntb_hw.[ch]
      determines the usage model (NTB to NTB or NTB to Root Port) and abstracts away
      the underlying hardware to provide access and a common interface to the doorbell
      registers, scratch pads, and memory windows.  These hardware interfaces are
      exported so that other, non-mainlined kernel drivers can access these.
      ntb_transport.[ch] also uses the exported interfaces in ntb_hw.[ch] to setup a
      communication channel(s) and provide a reliable way of transferring data from
      one side to the other, which it then exports so that "client" drivers can access
      them.  These client drivers are used to provide a standard kernel interface
      (i.e., Ethernet device) to NTB, such that Linux can transfer data from one
      system to the other in a standard way.

      ARM: bcm2835: add interrupt controller driver · 89214f00
      Simon Arlott 提交于
      The BCM2835 contains a custom interrupt controller, which supports 72
      interrupt sources using a 2-level register scheme. The interrupt
      controller, or the HW block containing it, is referred to occasionally
      as "armctrl" in the SoC documentation, hence the symbol naming in the
      code.
      
      This patch was extracted from git://github.com/lp0/linux.git branch
      rpi-split as of 2012/09/08, and modified as follows:
      
      * s/bcm2708/bcm2835/.
      * Modified device tree vendor prefix.
      * Moved implementation to drivers/irchip/.
      * Added devicetree documentation, and hence removed list of IRQs from
        bcm2835.dtsi.
      * Changed shift in MAKE_HWIRQ() and HWIRQ_BANK() from 8 to 5 to reduce
        the size of the hwirq space, and pass the total size of the hwirq space
        to irq_domain_add_linear(), rather than just the number of valid hwirqs;
        the two are different due to the hwirq space being sparse.
      * Added the interrupt controller DT node to the top-level of the DT,
        rather than nesting it inside a /axi node. Hence, changed the reg value
        since /axi had a ranges property. This seems simpler to me, but I'm not
        sure if everyone will like this change or not.
      * Don't set struct irq_domain_ops.map = irq_domain_simple_map, hence
        removing the need to patch include/linux/irqdomain.h or
        kernel/irq/irqdomain.c.
      * Simplified armctrl_of_init() using of_iomap().
      * Removed unused IS_VALID_BANK()/IS_VALID_IRQ() macros.
      * Renamed armctrl_handle_irq() to prevent possible symbol clashes.
      * Made armctrl_of_init() static.
      * Removed comment "Each bank is registered as a separate interrupt
        controller" since this is no longer true.
      * Removed FSF address from license header.
      * Added my name to copyright header.

      vfio: VFIO core · cba3345c
      Alex Williamson 提交于
      VFIO is a secure user level driver for use with both virtual machines
      and user level drivers.  VFIO makes use of IOMMU groups to ensure the
      isolation of devices in use, allowing unprivileged user access.  It's
      intended that VFIO will replace KVM device assignment and UIO drivers
      (in cases where the target platform includes a sufficiently capable
      IOMMU).
      
      New in this version of VFIO is support for IOMMU groups managed
      through the IOMMU core as well as a rework of the API, removing the
      group merge interface.  We now go back to a model more similar to
      original VFIO with UIOMMU support where the file descriptor obtained
      from /dev/vfio/vfio allows access to the IOMMU, but only after a
      group is added, avoiding the previous privilege issues with this type
      of model.  IOMMU support is also now fully modular as IOMMUs have
      vastly different interface requirements on different platforms.  VFIO
      users are able to query and initialize the IOMMU model of their
      choice.
      
      Please see the follow-on Documentation commit for further description
      and usage example.

      pwm: Add PWM framework support · 0c2498f1
      Sascha Hauer 提交于
      This patch adds framework support for PWM (pulse width modulation) devices.
      
      The is a barebone PWM API already in the kernel under include/linux/pwm.h,
      but it does not allow for multiple drivers as each of them implements the
      pwm_*() functions.
      
      There are other PWM framework patches around from Bill Gatliff. Unlike
      his framework this one does not change the existing API for PWMs so that
      this framework can act as a drop in replacement for the existing API.
      
      Why another framework?
      
      Several people argue that there should not be another framework for PWMs
      but they should be integrated into one of the existing frameworks like led
      or hwmon. Unlike these frameworks the PWM framework is agnostic to the
      purpose of the PWM. In fact, a PWM can drive a LED, but this makes the
      LED framework a user of a PWM, like already done in leds-pwm.c. The gpio
      framework also is not suitable for PWMs. Every gpio could be turned into
      a PWM using timer based toggling, but on the other hand not every PWM hardware
      device can be turned into a gpio due to the lack of hardware capabilities.
      
      This patch does not try to improve the PWM API yet, this could be done in
      subsequent patches.

      Staging: VME: move VME drivers out of staging · db3b9e99
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      This moves the VME core, VME board drivers, and VME bridge drivers out
      of the drivers/staging/vme/ area to drivers/vme/.
      
      The VME device drivers have not moved out yet due to some API questions
      they are still working through, that should happen soon, hopefully.

      Extcon (external connector): import Android's switch class and modify. · de55d871
      MyungJoo Ham 提交于
      External connector class (extcon) is based on and an extension of
      Android kernel's switch class located at linux/drivers/switch/.
      
      This patch provides the before-extension switch class moved to the
      location where the extcon will be located (linux/drivers/extcon/) and
      updates to handle class properly.
      
      The before-extension class, switch class of Android kernel, commits
      imported are:
      
      switch: switch class and GPIO drivers. (splitted)
      Author: Mike Lockwood <lockwood@android.com>
      
      switch: Use device_create instead of device_create_drvdata.
      Author: Arve Hjønnevåg <arve@android.com>
      
      In this patch, upon the commits of Android kernel, we have added:
      - Relocated and renamed for extcon.
      - Comments, module name, and author information are updated
      - Code clean for successing patches
      - Bugfix: enabling write access without write functions
      - Class/device/sysfs create/remove handling
      - Added comments about uevents
      - Format changes for extcon_dev_register() to have a parent dev.
