This patch updates some of the documentation about DMA buffer management for USB, and ways to avoid extra copying. Our understanding of the issues has improved over time. - Most drivers should *avoid* the dma-coherent allocators. There are a few exceptions (like the HID driver). - Some methods are currently commented out; it seems folk writing USB drivers aren't doing performance tuning at that level yet. - Just avoid highmem; there's no good way to pass an "I can do highmem DMA" capability through a driver stack. This is easy, everything already avoids highmem. But it'd be nice if x86_32 systems with much physical memory could use it directly with network adapters and mass storage devices. (Patch, anyone?)

This patch (as920) adds an extra level of protection to the USB-Persist facility. Now it will apply by default only to hubs; for all other devices the user must enable it explicitly by setting the power/persist device attribute. The disconnect_all_children() routine in hub.c has been removed and its code placed inline. This is the way it was originally as part of hub_pre_reset(); the revised usage in hub_reset_resume() is sufficiently different that the code can no longer be shared. Likewise, mark_children_for_reset() is now inline as part of hub_reset_resume(). The end result looks much cleaner than before. The sysfs interface is updated to add the new attribute file, and there are corresponding documentation updates.

This patch (as886) adds the controversial USB-persist facility, allowing USB devices to persist across a power loss during system suspend. The facility is controlled by a new Kconfig option (with appropriate warnings about the potential dangers); when the option is off the behavior will remain the same as it is now. But when the option is on, people will be able to use suspend-to-disk and keep their USB filesystems intact -- something particularly valuable for small machines where the root filesystem is on a USB device!

Add an ability to utilize the internal SRAM buffer on ICH4 and newer host controllers to speed up execution of block operations. I've split the code so that it is more clear which block transaction is performed. First of all the host controller's type is identified. isich4 is set when we think that the controller has the internal buffer. Then, before every block transaction, if isich4 is set, we attempt to enable the E32B bit in SMBAUXCTL register.

Let the drivers specify how many bytes they want to read with i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data(). So far, the block count was hard-coded to I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX (32), which did not make much sense. Many driver authors complained about this before, and I believe it's about time to fix it. Right now, authors have to do technically stupid things, such as individual byte reads or full-fledged I2C messaging, to work around the problem. We do not want to encourage that. I even found that some bus drivers (e.g. i2c-amd8111) already implemented I2C block read the "right" way, that is, they didn't follow the old, broken standard. The fact that it was never noticed before just shows how little i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() was used, which isn't that surprising given how broken its prototype was so far. There are some obvious compatiblity considerations: * This changes the i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() prototype. Users outside the kernel tree will notice at compilation time, and will have to update their code. * User-space has access to i2c_smbus_xfer() directly using i2c-dev, so the changed expectations would affect tools such as i2cdump. In order to preserve binary compatibility, we give I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA a new numeric value, and define I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_BROKEN with the old numeric value. When i2c-dev receives a transaction with the old value, it can convert it to the new format on the fly. Signed-off-by: NJean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

We have a new RTC subsystem with better drivers. Legacy driver status: * ds1337: The DS1337 and DS1339 are now supported by the rtc-ds1307 driver, so it looks to me like we could even delete the ds1337 driver right away. * ds1374: Will soon be replaced with Scott Wood's rtc-ds1374 driver. * m41t00: The M41T00 is supported by the rtc-ds1307 driver. For the M41T81 and M41T85, the rtc-m41t80 driver written by Atsushi Nemoto should work.

Add a new security check on mmap operations to see if the user is attempting to mmap to low area of the address space. The amount of space protected is indicated by the new proc tunable /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr and defaults to 0, preserving existing behavior. This patch uses a new SELinux security class "memprotect." Policy already contains a number of allow rules like a_t self:process * (unconfined_t being one of them) which mean that putting this check in the process class (its best current fit) would make it useless as all user processes, which we also want to protect against, would be allowed. By taking the memprotect name of the new class it will also make it possible for us to move some of the other memory protect permissions out of 'process' and into the new class next time we bump the policy version number (which I also think is a good future idea) Acked-by: NStephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Acked-by: NChris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Signed-off-by: NEric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NJames Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

Well, first of all, I don't want to change so many files either. What I do: Adding a new parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in the .read/.write methods for the sysfs binary attributes. In fact, only the four lines change in fs/sysfs/bin.c and include/linux/sysfs.h do the real work. But I have to update all the files that use binary attributes to make them compatible with the new .read and .write methods. I'm not sure if I missed any. :( Why I do this: For a sysfs attribute, we can get a pointer pointing to the struct attribute in the .show/.store method, while we can't do this for the binary attributes. I don't know why this is different, but this does make it not so handy to use the binary attributes as the regular ones. So I think this patch is reasonable. :) Who benefits from it: The patch that exposes ACPI tables in sysfs requires such an improvement. All the table binary attributes share the same .read method. Parameter "struct bin_attribute *" is used to get the table signature and instance number which are used to distinguish different ACPI table binary attributes. Without this parameter, we need to offer different .read methods for different ACPI table binary attributes. This is impossible as there are various ACPI tables on different platforms, and we don't know what they are until they are loaded.

Example memory map (HP rx7640 with 'default' acpiconfig setting, VGA disabled): 0x00000000 - 0x3FFFBFFF supports only WB (cacheable) access If a user attempts to perform an MMIO mmap (using the PCIIOC_MMAP_IS_MEM ioctl) to PCI config space (like mmap'ing and accessing memory at 0xA0000), we will MCA because the kernel will attempt to use a mapping with the UC attribute. So check the memory attribute in kern_mmap and the EFI memmap. If WC is requested, and WC or UC access is supported for the region, allow it. Otherwise, use the same attribute the kernel uses.

Document the expectations about device MTU handling. The documentation about oversize packet handling is probably too loose.

Based on patch "the scheduled removal of RAW1394_REQ_ISO_{SEND,LISTEN}" from Adrian Bunk, November 20 2006. This patch also removes the underlying facilities in ohci1394 and disables them in pcilynx. That is, hpsb_host_driver.devctl() and hpsb_host_driver.transmit_packet() are no longer used for iso reception and transmission. Since video1394 and dv1394 only work with ohci1394 and raw1394's rawiso interface has never been implemented in pcilynx, pcilynx is now no longer useful for isochronous applications. raw1394 will still handle the request types but will complete the requests with errors that indicate API version conflicts.

the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'. this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the balancing code pretty undeterministic as well. (and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-) under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline' tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.
