Clearing the HPET interrupt enable bit disables interrupt generation
but does not disable the timer, so the interrupt status bit will still
be set when the timer elapses. If another interrupt arrives before
the timer has been correctly programmed (due to some other device on
the same interrupt line, or CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ), this results in an
extra unwanted interrupt event because the status bit is likely to be
set from comparator matches that happened before the device was opened.
Therefore, we have to ensure that the interrupt status bit is and
stays cleared until we actually program the timer.

When the initialization code in hpet finds a memory resource and does not
find an IRQ, it does not unmap the memory resource previously mapped.
There are buggy BIOSes which report resources exactly like this and what
is worse the memory region bases point to normal RAM. This normally would
not matter since the space is not touched. But when PAT is turned on,
ioremap causes the page to be uncached and sets this bit in page->flags.
Then when the page is about to be used by the allocator, it is reported
as:
BUG: Bad page state in process md5sum pfn:3ed00
page:ffffea0000dbd800 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping:(null) index:0x0
page flags: 0x20000001000000(uncached)
Pid: 7956, comm: md5sum Not tainted 2.6.34-12-desktop #1
Call Trace:
[<ffffffff810df851>] bad_page+0xb1/0x100
[<ffffffff810dfa45>] prep_new_page+0x1a5/0x1c0
[<ffffffff810dfe01>] get_page_from_freelist+0x3a1/0x640
[<ffffffff810e01af>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x10f/0x6b0
...
In this particular case:
1) HPET returns 3ed00000 as memory region base, but it is not in
reserved ranges reported by the BIOS (excerpt):
BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 00000000af6cf000 (usable)
BIOS-e820: 00000000af6cf000 - 00000000afdcf000 (reserved)
2) there is no IRQ resource reported by HPET method. On the other
hand, the Intel HPET specs (1.0a) says (3.2.5.1):
_CRS (
// Report 1K of memory consumed by this Timer Block
memory range consumed
// Optional: only used if BIOS allocates Interrupts [1]
IRQs consumed
)
[1] For case where Timer Block is configured to consume IRQ0/IRQ8 AND
Legacy 8254/Legacy RTC hardware still exists, the device objects
associated with 8254 & RTC devices should not report IRQ0/IRQ8 as
"consumed resources".
So in theory we should check whether if it is the case and use those
interrupts instead.
Anyway the address reported by the BIOS here is bogus, so non-presence
of IRQ doesn't mean the "optional" part in point 2).
Since I got no reply previously, fix this by simply unmapping the space
when IRQ is not found and memory region was mapped previously. It would
be probably more safe to walk the resources again and unmap appropriately
depending on type. But as we now use only ioremap for both 2 memory
resource types, it is not necessarily needed right now.

hpet uses the big kernel lock in its ioctl and open

add the compat_ioctl version as well -- all commands

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

The periodic interrupt from drivers/char/hpet.c does not work correctly,
both when using the periodic capability of the hardware and while
emulating the periodic interrupt (when hardware does not support periodic
mode).
With timers capable of periodic interrupts, the comparator field is first
set with the period value followed by set of hidden accumulator, which has
the side effect of overwriting the comparator value. This results in
wrong periodicity for the interrupts. For, periodic interrupts to work,
following steps are necessary, in that order.
* Set config with Tn_VAL_SET_CNF bit
* Write to hidden accumulator, the value written is the time when the
first interrupt should be generated
* Write compartor with period interval for subsequent interrupts
(http://www.intel.com/hardwaredesign/hpetspec_1.pdf )
When emulating periodic timer with timers not capable of periodic
interrupt, driver is adding the period to counter value instead of
comparator value, which causes slow drift when using this emulation.
Also, driver seems to add hpetp->hp_delta both while setting up periodic
interrupt and while emulating periodic interrupts with timers not capable
of doing periodic interrupts. This hp_delta will result in slower than
expected interrupt rate and should not be used while setting the interval.

As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync()
need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that
creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget.
So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in
file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set. And lose that
crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we
don't have to bother anymore.

Minor /dev/hpet updates and bugfixes:
* Remove dead code, mostly remnants of an incomplete/unusable
kernel interface ... noted when addressing "sparse" warnings:
+ hpet_unregister() and a routine it calls
+ hpet_task and all references, including hpet_task_lock
+ hpet_data.hd_flags (and HPET_DATA_PLATFORM)
* Correct and improve boot message:
+ displays *counter* (shared between comparators) bit width,
not *timer* bit widths (which are often mixed)
+ relabel "timers" as "comparators"; this is less confusing,
they are not independent like normal timers are (sigh)
+ display MHz not Hz; it's never less than 10 MHz.
* Tighten and correct the userspace interface code
+ don't accidentally program comparators in 64-bit mode using
32-bit values ... always force comparators into 32-bit mode
+ provide the correct bit definition flagging comparators with
periodic capability ... the ABI is unchanged
* Update Documentation/hpet.txt
+ be more correct and current
+ expand description a bit
+ don't mention that now-gone kernel interface
Plus, add a FIXME comment for something that could cause big trouble
on systems with more capable HPETs than at least Intel seems to ship.
It seems that few folk use this userspace interface; it's not very
usable given the general lack of HPET IRQ routing. I'm told that
the only real point of it any more is to mmap for fast timestamps;
IMO that's handled better through the gettimeofday() vsyscall.

The userspace API for the HPET (see Documentation/hpet.txt) did not work. The
HPET_IE_ON ioctl was failing as there was no IRQ assigned to the timer
device. This patch fixes it by allocating IRQs to timer blocks in the HPET.

If hpet has been initialized before registering hpet driver, the callback
function of hpet_resources will return the status code of -EBUSY, which is
not defined in the ACPI exception table. So when ACPI checks the status
code of callback function, it will report the unknown exception code.
So the status code in ACPI is used instead of the generic error code in the
ACPI callback function of hpet_resources.
For example: -EBUSY is replaced by AE_ALREADY_EXISTS
-EINVAL is replaced by AE_NO_MEMORY

The HPET clocksource in drivers/char/hpet.c was written as generic code
for ia64, but it is not yet ready to replace the native HPET clocksource
implementations that the i386/x86-64 architectures use.
On x86[-64], trying to register this clocksource results in potentially
multiple hpet-based clocksources being registered, and if the ia64 one
is chosen on x86_64 some users have experienced hangs.
Eventually all three architectures may end up using the same code, but
that is not the case right now.

The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.
I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.
So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.
The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.
Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.
This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
And put the old one back at the end:
set_irq_regs(old_regs);
Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
- update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
- profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
+ update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
+ profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
(*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in
the input_dev struct.
(*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does
something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
pointer or not.
(*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
irq_handler_t.

Mark the static struct file_operations in drivers/char as const. Making
them const prevents accidental bugs, and moves them to the .rodata section
so that they no longer do any false sharing; in addition with the proper
debug option they are then protected against corruption..

ACPI address space descriptors contain _MIN, _MAX, and _LEN. _MIN and _MAX
are the bounds within which the region can be moved (this is clarified in
Table 6-38 of the ACPI 3.0 spec). We should use _LEN to determine the size
of the region, not _MAX - _MIN + 1.

When the _CRS for a single HPET contains multiple EXTENDED_IRQ resources,
we overwrote hdp->hd_nirqs every time we found one.
So the driver worked when all the IRQs were described in a single
EXTENDED_IRQ resource, but failed when multiple resources were used.
(Strictly speaking, I think the latter is actually more correct, but both
styles have been used.)
Someday we should remove all the ACPI stuff from hpet.c and use PNP driver
registration instead. But currently PNP_MAX_IRQ is 2, and HPETs often have
more IRQs. Hint, hint, Adam :-)

Completed a major overhaul of the Resource Manager code -
specifically, optimizations in the area of the AML/internal
resource conversion code. The code has been optimized to
simplify and eliminate duplicated code, CPU stack use has
been decreased by optimizing function parameters and local
variables, and naming conventions across the manager have
been standardized for clarity and ease of maintenance (this
includes function, parameter, variable, and struct/typedef
names.)
All Resource Manager dispatch and information tables have
been moved to a single location for clarity and ease of
maintenance. One new file was created, named "rsinfo.c".
The ACPI return macros (return_ACPI_STATUS, etc.) have
been modified to guarantee that the argument is
not evaluated twice, making them less prone to macro
side-effects. However, since there exists the possibility
of additional stack use if a particular compiler cannot
optimize them (such as in the debug generation case),
the original macros are optionally available. Note that
some invocations of the return_VALUE macro may now cause
size mismatch warnings; the return_UINT8 and return_UINT32
macros are provided to eliminate these. (From Randy Dunlap)
Implemented a new mechanism to enable debug tracing for
individual control methods. A new external interface,
acpi_debug_trace(), is provided to enable this mechanism. The
intent is to allow the host OS to easily enable and disable
tracing for problematic control methods. This interface
can be easily exposed to a user or debugger interface if
desired. See the file psxface.c for details.
acpi_ut_callocate() will now return a valid pointer if a
length of zero is specified - a length of one is used
and a warning is issued. This matches the behavior of
acpi_ut_allocate().

- Use HPET physical address to detect duplicates, not logical addresses.
Using logical (mapped) addresses fails to detect duplicates
because ioremap() returns a new mapped address each time.
