2013-07-03/dev/oldmem: Remove the interfaceZhang Yanfei
/dev/oldmem provides the interface for us to access the "old memory" in the dump-capture kernel. Unfortunately, no one actually uses this interface. And this interface could actually cause some real problems if used on ia64 where the cached/uncached accesses are mixed. See the discussion from the link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/12/386. So Eric suggested that we should remove /dev/oldmem as an unused piece of code. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: mention /dev/oldmem obsolescence in devices.txt] Suggested-by: "Eric W.

2013-07-03rtc: add ability to push out an existing wakealarm using sysfsBernie Thompson
This adds the ability for the rtc sysfs code to handle += characters at the beginning of a wakealarm setting string. This will allow the user to attempt to push out an existing wakealarm by a provided amount. In the case that the += characters are provided but the alarm is not active -EINVAL is returned. his is useful, at least for my purposes in suspend/resume testing. The basic test goes something like: 1. Set a wake alarm from userspace 5 seconds in the future 2. Start the suspend process (echo mem > /sys/power/state) 3. After ~2.5 seconds if userspace is still running (using another thread to check this), move the wake alarm 5 more seconds If the "move" involves an unset of the wakealarm then there's a period of time where the system is midway through suspending but has no wake alarm. It will get stuck. We'd rather not remove the "move" since the idea is to avoid a cancelled suspend when the alarm fires _during_ suspend. It is difficult for the test to tell the difference between a suspend that was cancelled because the alarm fired too early and a suspend that was Signed-off-by: Bernie Thompson <bhthompson@chromium.org> Cc: Alessandro Zummo <a.zummo@towertech.it> Cc: Doug Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> Cc: "Rafael J.

2013-07-03pagemap: prepare to reuse constant bits with page-shiftPavel Emelyanov
In order to reuse bits from pagemap entries gracefully, we leave the entries as is but on pagemap open emit a warning in dmesg, that bits 55-60 are about to change in a couple of releases. Next, if a user issues soft-dirty clear command via the clear_refs file (it was disabled before v3.9) we assume that he's aware of the new pagemap format, note that fact and report the bits in pagemap in the new manner. The "migration strategy" looks like this then: 1. existing users are not affected -- they don't touch soft-dirty feature, thus see old bits in pagemap, but are warned and have time to fix themselves 2. those who use soft-dirty know about new pagemap format 3. some time soon we get rid of any signs of page-shift in pagemap as well as this trick with clear-soft-dirty affecting pagemap format.

2013-07-03mm: soft-dirty bits for user memory changes trackingPavel Emelyanov
The soft-dirty is a bit on a PTE which helps to track which pages a task writes to. In order to do this tracking one should 1. Clear soft-dirty bits from PTEs ("echo 4 > /proc/PID/clear_refs) 2. Wait some time. 3. Read soft-dirty bits (55'th in /proc/PID/pagemap2 entries) To do this tracking, the writable bit is cleared from PTEs when the soft-dirty bit is. Thus, after this, when the task tries to modify a page at some virtual address the #PF occurs and the kernel sets the soft-dirty bit on the respective PTE. Note, that although all the task's address space is marked as r/o after the soft-dirty bits clear, the #PF-s that occur after that are processed fast. This is so, since the pages are still mapped to physical memory, and thus all the kernel does is finds this fact out and puts back writable, dirty and soft-dirty bits on the PTE. Another thing to note, is that when mremap moves PTEs they are marked with soft-dirty as well, since from the user perspective mremap modifies the virtual memory at mremap's new address.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki: "This time the total number of ACPI commits is slightly greater than the number of cpufreq commits, but Viresh Kumar (who works on cpufreq) remains the most active patch submitter. To me, the most significant change is the addition of offline/online device operations to the driver core (with the Greg's blessing) and the related modifications of the ACPI core hotplug code. Next are the freezer updates from Colin Cross that should make the freezing of tasks a bit less heavy weight. We also have a couple of regression fixes, a number of fixes for issues that have not been identified as regressions, two new drivers and a bunch of cleanups all over. Highlights: - Hotplug changes to support graceful hot-removal failures. It sometimes is necessary to fail device hot-removal operations gracefully if they cannot be carried out completely. For example, if memory from a memory module being hot-removed has been allocated for the kernel's own use and cannot be moved elsewhere, it's desirable to fail the hot-removal operation in a graceful way rather than to crash the kernel, but currenty a success or a kernel crash are the only possible outcomes of an attempted memory hot-removal. Needless to say, that is not a very attractive alternative and it had to be addressed. However, in order to make it work for memory, I first had to make it work for CPUs and for this purpose I needed to modify the ACPI processor driver. It's been split into two parts, a resident one handling the low-level initialization/cleanup and a modular one playing the actual driver's role (but it binds to the CPU system device objects rather than to the ACPI device objects representing processors). That's been sort of like a live brain surgery on a patient who's riding a bike. So this is a little scary, but since we found and fixed a couple of regressions it caused to happen during the early linux-next testing (a month ago), nobody has complained. As a bonus we remove some duplicated ACPI hotplug code, because the ACPI-based CPU hotplug is now going to use the common ACPI hotplug code. - Lighter weight freezing of tasks. These changes from Colin Cross and Mandeep Singh Baines are targeted at making the freezing of tasks a bit less heavy weight operation. They reduce the number of tasks woken up every time during the freezing, by using the observation that the freezer simply doesn't need to wake up some of them and wait for them all to call refrigerator(). The time needed for the freezer to decide to report a failure is reduced too. Also reintroduced is the check causing a lockdep warining to trigger when try_to_freeze() is called with locks held (which is generally unsafe and shouldn't happen). - cpufreq updates First off, a commit from Srivatsa S Bhat fixes a resume regression introduced during the 3.10 cycle causing some cpufreq sysfs attributes to return wrong values to user space after resume. The fix is kind of fresh, but also it's pretty obvious once Srivatsa has identified the root cause. Second, we have a new freqdomain_cpus sysfs attribute for the acpi-cpufreq driver to provide information previously available via related_cpus. From Lan Tianyu. Finally, we fix a number of issues, mostly related to the CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier and cpufreq Kconfig options and clean up some code. The majority of changes from Viresh Kumar with bits from Jacob Shin, Heiko Stübner, Xiaoguang Chen, Ezequiel Garcia, Arnd Bergmann, and Tang Yuantian. - ACPICA update A usual bunch of updates from the ACPICA upstream. During the 3.4 cycle we introduced support for ACPI 5 extended sleep registers, but they are only supposed to be used if the HW-reduced mode bit is set in the FADT flags and the code attempted to use them without checking that bit. That caused suspend/resume regressions to happen on some systems. Fix from Lv Zheng causes those registers to be used only if the HW-reduced mode bit is set. Apart from this some other ACPICA bugs are fixed and code cleanups are made by Bob Moore, Tomasz Nowicki, Lv Zheng, Chao Guan, and Zhang Rui. - cpuidle updates New driver for Xilinx Zynq processors is added by Michal Simek. Multidriver support simplification, addition of some missing kerneldoc comments and Kconfig-related fixes come from Daniel Lezcano. - ACPI power management updates Changes to make suspend/resume work correctly in Xen guests from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk, sparse warning fix from Fengguang Wu and cleanups and fixes of the ACPI device power state selection routine. - ACPI documentation updates Some previously missing pieces of ACPI documentation are added by Lv Zheng and Aaron Lu (hopefully, that will help people to uderstand how the ACPI subsystem works) and one outdated doc is updated by Hanjun Guo. - Assorted ACPI updates We finally nailed down the IA-64 issue that was the reason for reverting commit 9f29ab11ddbf ("ACPI / scan: do not match drivers against objects having scan handlers"), so we can fix it and move the ACPI scan handler check added to the ACPI video driver back to the core. A mechanism for adding CMOS RTC address space handlers is introduced by Lan Tianyu to allow some EC-related breakage to be fixed on some systems. A spec-compliant implementation of acpi_os_get_timer() is added by Mika Westerberg. The evaluation of _STA is added to do_acpi_find_child() to avoid situations in which a pointer to a disabled device object is returned instead of an enabled one with the same _ADR value. From Jeff Wu. Intel BayTrail PCH (Platform Controller Hub) support is added to the ACPI driver for Intel Low-Power Subsystems (LPSS) and that driver is modified to work around a couple of known BIOS issues. Changes from Mika Westerberg and Heikki Krogerus. The EC driver is fixed by Vasiliy Kulikov to use get_user() and put_user() instead of dereferencing user space pointers blindly. Code cleanups are made by Bjorn Helgaas, Nicholas Mazzuca and Toshi Kani. - Assorted power management updates The "runtime idle" helper routine is changed to take the return values of the callbacks executed by it into account and to call rpm_suspend() if they return 0, which allows us to reduce the overall code bloat a bit (by dropping some code that's not necessary any more after that modification). The runtime PM documentation is updated by Alan Stern (to reflect the "runtime idle" behavior change). New trace points for PM QoS are added by Sahara (<keun-o.park@windriver.com>). PM QoS documentation is updated by Lan Tianyu. Code cleanups are made and minor issues are addressed by Bernie Thompson, Bjorn Helgaas, Julius Werner, and Shuah Khan. - devfreq updates New driver for the Exynos5-bus device from Abhilash Kesavan. Minor cleanups, fixes and MAINTAINERS update from MyungJoo Ham, Abhilash Kesavan, Paul Bolle, Rajagopal Venkat, and Wei Yongjun. - OMAP power management updates Adaptive Voltage Scaling (AVS) SmartReflex voltage control driver updates from Andrii Tseglytskyi and Nishanth Menon." * tag 'pm+acpi-3.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (162 commits) cpufreq: Fix cpufreq regression after suspend/resume ACPI / PM: Fix possible NULL pointer deref in acpi_pm_device_sleep_state() PM / Sleep: Warn about system time after resume with pm_trace cpufreq: don't leave stale policy pointer in cdbs->cur_policy acpi-cpufreq: Add new sysfs attribute freqdomain_cpus cpufreq: make sure frequency transitions are serialized ACPI: implement acpi_os_get_timer() according the spec ACPI / EC: Add HP Folio 13 to ec_dmi_table in order to skip DSDT scan ACPI: Add CMOS RTC Operation Region handler support ACPI / processor: Drop unused variable from processor_perflib.c cpufreq: tegra: call CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notfier in error cases cpufreq: s3c64xx: call CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notfier in error cases cpufreq: omap: call CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notfier in error cases cpufreq: imx6q: call CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notfier in error cases cpufreq: exynos: call CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notfier in error cases cpufreq: dbx500: call CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notfier in error cases cpufreq: davinci: call CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notfier in error cases cpufreq: arm-big-little: call CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notfier in error cases cpufreq: powernow-k8: call CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notfier in error cases cpufreq: pcc: call CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notfier in error cases ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-pinctrl Pull pin control changes from Linus Walleij: - A large slew of improvements of the Genric pin configuration support, and deployment in four different platforms: Rockchip, Super-H PFC, ABx500 and TZ1090. Support BIAS_BUS_HOLD, get device tree parsing and debugfs support into shape. - We also have device tree support with generic naming conventions for the generic pin configuration. - Delete the unused and confusing direct pinconf API. Now state transitions is *the* way to control pins and multiplexing. - New drivers for Rockchip, TZ1090, and TZ1090 PDC. - Two pin control states related to power management are now handled in the device core: "sleep" and "idle", removing a lot of boilerplate code in drivers. We do not yet know if this is the final word for pin PM, but it already make things a lot easier to handle. - Handle sparse GPIO ranges passing a list of disparate pins, and utilize these in the new BayTrail (x86 Atom SoC) driver. - Make the sunxi (AllWinner) driver handle external interrupts. - Make it possible for pinctrl-single to handle the case where several pins are managed by a single register, and augment it to handle sleep modes. - Cleanups and improvements for the abx500 drivers. - Move Sirf pin control drivers to their own directory, support save/restore of context and add support for the SiRFatlas6 SoC. - PMU muxing for the Dove pinctrl driver. - Finalization and support for VF610 in the i.MX6 pinctrl driver. - Smoothen out various Exynos rough edges. - Generic cleanups of various kinds. * tag 'pinctrl-for-v3.11-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-pinctrl: (82 commits) pinctrl: vt8500: wmt: remove redundant dev_err call in wmt_pinctrl_probe() pinctrl: remove bindings for pinconf options needing more thought pinctrl: remove slew-rate parameter from tz1090 pinctrl: set unit for debounce time pinconfig to usec pinctrl: more clarifications for generic pull configs pinctrl: rip out the direct pinconf API pinctrl-tz1090-pdc: add TZ1090 PDC pinctrl driver pinctrl-tz1090: add TZ1090 pinctrl driver pinctrl: samsung: Staticize drvdata_list pinctrl: rockchip: Add missing irq_gc_unlock() call before return error pinctrl: abx500: rework error path pinctrl: abx500: suppress hardcoded value pinctrl: abx500: factorize code pinctrl: abx500: fix abx500_gpio_get() pinctrl: abx500: fix abx500_pin_config_set() pinctrl: abx500: Add device tree support sh-pfc: Guard DT parsing with #ifdef CONFIG_OF pinctrl: add Intel BayTrail GPIO/pinctrl support pinctrl: fix pinconf_ops::pin_config_dbg_parse_modify kerneldoc pinctrl: Staticize local symbols ...

2013-07-03clocksource: arm_global_timer: Add ARM global timer supportStuart Menefy
This is a simple driver for the global timer module found in the Cortex A9-MP cores from revision r1p0 onwards. This should be able to perform the functions of the system timer and the local timer in an SMP system. The global timer has the following features: The global timer is a 64-bit incrementing counter with an auto-incrementing feature. It continues incrementing after sending interrupts. The global timer is memory mapped in the private memory region. The global timer is accessible to all Cortex-A9 processors in the cluster. Each Cortex-A9 processor has a private 64-bit comparator that is used to assert a private interrupt when the global timer has reached the comparator value. All the Cortex-A9 processors in a design use the banked ID, ID27, for this interrupt. ID27 is sent to the Interrupt Controller as a Private Peripheral Interrupt. The global timer is clocked by PERIPHCLK.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo: "Surprisingly, Lai and I didn't break too many things implementing custom pools and stuff last time around and there aren't any follow-up changes necessary at this point. The only change in this pull request is Viresh's patches to make some per-cpu workqueues to behave as unbound workqueues dependent on a boot param whose default can be configured via a config option. This leads to higher processing overhead / lower bandwidth as more work items are bounced across CPUs; however, it can lead to noticeable powersave in certain configurations - ~10% w/ idlish constant workload on a big.LITTLE configuration according to Viresh. This is because per-cpu workqueues interfere with how the scheduler perceives whether or not each CPU is idle by forcing pinned tasks on them, which makes the scheduler's power-aware scheduling decisions less effective. Its effectiveness is likely less pronounced on homogenous configurations and this type of optimization can probably be made automatic; however, the changes are pretty minimal and the affected workqueues are clearly marked, so it's an easy gain for some configurations for the time being with pretty unintrusive changes." * 'for-3.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: fbcon: queue work on power efficient wq block: queue work on power efficient wq PHYLIB: queue work on system_power_efficient_wq workqueue: Add system wide power_efficient workqueues workqueues: Introduce new flag WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT for power oriented workqueues

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull WW mutex support from Ingo Molnar: "This tree adds support for wound/wait style locks, which the graphics guys would like to make use of in the TTM graphics subsystem. Wound/wait mutexes are used when other multiple lock acquisitions of a similar type can be done in an arbitrary order. The deadlock handling used here is called wait/wound in the RDBMS literature: The older tasks waits until it can acquire the contended lock. The younger tasks needs to back off and drop all the locks it is currently holding, ie the younger task is wounded. See this LWN.net description of W/W mutexes: https://lwn.net/Articles/548909/ The comments there outline specific usecases for this facility (which have already been implemented for the DRM tree).

As we proceed to untangle the dependencies between platform code and driver code, the amount of changes in this category is fortunately shrinking, for 3.11 we have 16 branches here and 101 non-merge changesets, the majority of which are for the stedma40 dma engine driver used in the ux500 platform. Cleaning up that code touches multiple subsystems, but gets rid of the dependency in the end. The mailbox code moved out from mach-omap2 to drivers/mailbox is an intermediate step and is still omap specific at the moment. Patches exist to generalize the subsystem and add other drivers with the same API, but those did not make it for 3.11." * tag 'drivers-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: (101 commits) crypto: ux500: use dmaengine_submit API crypto: ux500: use dmaengine_prep_slave_sg API crypto: ux500: use dmaengine_device_control API crypto: ux500/crypt: add missing __iomem qualifiers crypto: ux500/hash: add missing static qualifiers crypto: ux500/hash: use readl on iomem addresses dmaengine: ste_dma40: Declare memcpy config as static ARM: ux500: Remove mop500_snowball_ethernet_clock_enable() ARM: ux500: Correct the EN_3v3 regulator's on/off GPIO ARM: ux500: Provide a AB8500 GPIO Device Tree node gpio: rcar: fix gpio_rcar_of_table gpio-rcar: Remove #ifdef CONFIG_OF around OF-specific sections gpio-rcar: Reference core gpio documentation in the DT bindings clk: exynos5250: Add enum entries for divider clock of i2s1 and i2s2 ARM: dts: Update Samsung I2S documentation ARM: dts: add clock provider information for i2s controllers in Exynos5250 ARM: dts: add Exynos audio subsystem clock controller node clk: samsung: register audio subsystem clocks using common clock framework ARM: dts: use #include for all device trees for Samsung pinctrl: s3c24xx: use correct header for chained_irq functions ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc Pull ARM SoC specific changes from Arnd Bergmann: "These changes are all to SoC-specific code, a total of 33 branches on 17 platforms were pulled into this. Like last time, Renesas sh-mobile is now the platform with the most changes, followed by OMAP and EXYNOS. Two new platforms, TI Keystone and Rockchips RK3xxx are added in this branch, both containing almost no platform specific code at all, since they are using generic subsystem interfaces for clocks, pinctrl, interrupts etc. The device drivers are getting merged through the respective subsystem maintainer trees. One more SoC (u300) is now multiplatform capable and several others (shmobile, exynos, msm, integrator, kirkwood, clps711x) are moving towards that goal with this series but need more work. Also noteworthy is the work on PCI here, which is traditionally part of the SoC specific code. With the changes done by Thomas Petazzoni, we can now more easily have PCI host controller drivers as loadable modules and keep them separate from the platform code in drivers/pci/host. This has already led to the discovery that three platforms (exynos, spear and imx) are actually using an identical PCIe host controller and will be able to share a driver once support for spear and imx is added." * tag 'soc-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: (480 commits) ARM: integrator: let pciv3 use mem/premem from device tree ARM: integrator: set local side PCI addresses right ARM: dts: Add pcie controller node for exynos5440-ssdk5440 ARM: dts: Add pcie controller node for Samsung EXYNOS5440 SoC ARM: EXYNOS: Enable PCIe support for Exynos5440 pci: Add PCIe driver for Samsung Exynos ARM: OMAP5: voltagedomain data: remove temporary OMAP4 voltage data ARM: keystone: Move CPU bringup code to dedicated asm file ARM: multiplatform: always pick one CPU type ARM: imx: select syscon for IMX6SL ARM: keystone: select ARM_ERRATA_798181 only for SMP ARM: imx: Synertronixx scb9328 needs to select SOC_IMX1 ARM: OMAP2+: AM43x: resolve SMP related build error dmaengine: edma: enable build for AM33XX ARM: edma: Add EDMA crossbar event mux support ARM: edma: Add DT and runtime PM support to the private EDMA API dmaengine: edma: Add TI EDMA device tree binding arm: add basic support for Rockchip RK3066a boards arm: add debug uarts for rockchip rk29xx and rk3xxx series arm: Add basic clocks for Rockchip rk3066a SoCs ...
