| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to get rid of the global namespace for PWM devices, this commit provides an alternative method, similar to that of the regulator or clock frameworks, for registering a static mapping for PWM devices.

* pwm: Allow chips to support multiple PWMsThierry Reding2012-06-153-93/+254
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many PWM controllers provide access to more than a single PWM output and may even share some resource among them. Allowing a PWM chip to provide multiple PWM devices enables better sharing of those resources. As a side-effect this change allows easy integration with the device tree where a given PWM can be looked up based on the PWM chip's phandle and a corresponding index. This commit modifies the PWM core to support multiple PWMs per struct pwm_chip. It achieves this in a similar way to how gpiolib works, by allowing PWM ranges to be requested dynamically (pwm_chip.base == -1) or starting at a given offset (pwm_chip.base >= 0). A chip specifies how many PWMs it controls using the npwm member. Each of the functions in the pwm_ops structure gets an additional argument that specified the PWM number (it can be converted to a per-chip index by subtracting the chip's base). The total maximum number of PWM devices is currently fixed to 1024 while the data is actually stored in a radix tree, thus saving resources if not all of them are used.

* pwm: Add PWM framework supportSascha Hauer2012-06-158-0/+341
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

Now find_lock_lowest_rq() has a bug.. it fails to use double_unlock_balance() in one exit path, if this results in a retry in push_rt_task() we'll call double_lock_balance() again, at which point we'll run into said lockdep confusion.

But actually, even the node distance is farther than REMOTE_DISTANCE. Modern CPUs also has QPI like connections, which ensures that memory access is not too slow between nodes. So the above change in behavior on NUMA machine causes a performance regression on various benchmarks: hackbench, tbench, netperf, oltp, etc. This patch will recover the scheduler behavior to old mode on all my Intel platforms: NHM EP/EX, WSM EP, SNB EP/EP4S, and thus fixes the perfromance regressions.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 9e612a008fa7fe493a473454def56aa321479495. It incorrectly finds VGA connectors where none are attached, apparently not noticing that nothing replied to the EDID queries, and happily using the default EDID modes that have nothing to do with actual hardware. That in turn then causes X to fall down to the lowest common denominator, which is usually the default 1024x768 mode that is in the default EDID and pretty much anything supports). I'd suggest that if not relying on the HDP pin, the code should at least check whether it gets valid EDID data back, rather than just assume there's something on the VGA connector.

According to the PowerPC EABI specification, GPR r11 is assigned the dedicated function to point to the previous stack frame. In the powerpc-specific kernel module loader, do_plt_call() (in arch/powerpc/kernel/module_32.c), GPR r11 is also used to generate trampoline code. This combination crashes the kernel, in the case where the compiler chooses to use a helper function for saving GPRs on entry, and the module loader has placed the .init.text section far away from the .text section, meaning that it has to generate a trampoline for functions in the .init.text section to call the GPR save helper. Because the trampoline trashes r11, references to the stack frame using r11 can cause an oops. The fix just uses GPR r12 instead of GPR r11 for generating the trampoline code. According to the statements from Freescale, this is safe from an EABI perspective. I've tested the fix for kernel 2.6.33 on MPC8541.

| |/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts 68568add2c ("powerpc/time: Remove unnecessary sanity check of decrementer expiration"). We do need to check whether we have reached the expiration time of the next event, because we sometimes get an early decrementer interrupt, most notably when we set the decrementer to 1 in arch_irq_work_raise(). The effect of not having the sanity check is that if timer_interrupt() gets called early, we leave the decrementer set to its maximum value, which means we then don't get any more decrementer interrupts for about 4 seconds (or longer, depending on timebase frequency). I saw these pauses as a consequence of getting a stray hypervisor decrementer interrupt left over from exiting a KVM guest. This isn't quite a straight revert because of changes to the surrounding code, but it restores the same algorithm as was previously used.

We do not need to have it in write mode - read mode is enough, and we do not need to hole it over the entire loop. So this patch turns changes the locking: takes 'work_sem' in read mode and pushes it down to the loop. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com>

We're chasing an elusive bug that Dave Jones can apparently reproduce using his system call fuzzer tool, and that looks like some kind of locking ordering problem on the directory i_mutex chain. Our i_mutex locking is rather complex, and depends on the topological ordering of the directories, which is why we have been very wary of splicing directory entries around. Of course, we really don't want to ever see aliased unconnected directories anyway, so none of this should ever happen, but this revert aims to basically get us back to a known older state. Bruce points to some of the previous discussion at http://marc.info/?i=<20110310105821.GE22723@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> and in particular a long post from Neil: http://marc.info/?i=<20110311150749.2fa2be66@notabene.brown> It should be noted that it's possible that Dave's problems come from other changes altohgether, including possibly just the fact that Dave constantly is teachning his fuzzer new tricks. So what appears to be a new bug could in fact be an old one that just gets newly triggered, but reverting these patches as "still under heavy discussion" is the right thing regardless.

The reason for this is that those structs are not defined in the init section whereas the rest of the code in nmi_selftest.c is. To resolve this, I created a new #define, register_nmi_handler_initonly, that tags the struct as __initdata to resolve the mismatch. This #define should only be used in rare situations where the register/unregister is called during init of the kernel.

There is no need to clear the 'legacy' (UV1) mode, because the hardware always uses UV2 mode for selective broadcast. But the BIOS uses general broadcast and legacy mode, and the hardware pays attention to the legacy mode bit for general broadcast. So the kernel must not clear that mode bit.
