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. Designed with Brian Swetland <swetland@google.com>.

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. Based on (but now quite far from) work done by Fernando Guzman Lugo <fernando.lugo@ti.com>.

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.

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.

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.

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. Signed-off-by: NStefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

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.) Cc: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: NStefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

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. Signed-off-by: NLen Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

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.

This patch adds the kernel side of the PPS support currently named "LinuxPPS". PPS means "pulse per second" and a PPS source is just a device which provides a high precision signal each second so that an application can use it to adjust system clock time. Common use is the combination of the NTPD as userland program with a GPS receiver as PPS source to obtain a wallclock-time with sub-millisecond synchronisation to UTC. To obtain this goal the userland programs shoud use the PPS API specification (RFC 2783 - Pulse-Per-Second API for UNIX-like Operating Systems, Version 1.0) which in part is implemented by this patch. It provides a set of chars devices, one per PPS source, which can be used to get the time signal. The RFC's functions can be implemented by accessing to these char devices.

Currently drivers/media drivers are linked very early - directly after base, block, misc, and mfd and before ata, scsi, ide, input, firewire, usb, and i2c. This breaks static build of video4linux drivers, that use generic CPU i2c adapter drivers and the v4l2-subdev subsystem, because during video4linux probing the v4l2-subdev core requires a struct i2c_adapter context, which cannot be satisfied before the i2c subsystem is initialised. Moving drivers/media after drivers/i2c fixes this problem. The best way to trigger action is by submitting a patch:-) So, let's see what comes out of it - on the one hand I don't see any reason why media has to be linked this early, and nobody was able to give me one yesterday as this problem has been discussed on linux-media, OTOH, maybe indeed it would be better to move i2c the whole way up above media, but that'd be much bigger of a change, I think. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlSigned-off-by: NGuennadi Liakhovetski <g.liakhovetski@gmx.de> Acked-by: NJean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: NMauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

this patch flips the order in which sata and network drivers are initialized. SATA probing takes quite a bit of time, and with the asynchronous infrastructure other drivers that run after it can execute in parallel. Network drivers do tend to take some real time talking to the hardware, so running these later is a good thing (the sata probe then runs concurrent) This saves about 15% of my kernels boot time. Both Dave and Jeff acked this patch and suggested it should go via the async tree. Signed-off-by: NArjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: NDavid S.

Move regulator earlier in link sequence. The regulator core currently initializes as a core_initcall() to be available early ... but then it links way late, throwing away that benefit, so regulators available at e.g. subsys_initcall() are not available to subsystems which need to use them.
