* ACPI : Create "idle=nomwait" bootparamZhao Yakui2008-07-161-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "idle=nomwait" disables the use of the MWAIT instruction from both C1 (C1_FFH) and deeper (C2C3_FFH) C-states. When MWAIT is unavailable, the BIOS and OS generally negotiate to use the HALT instruction for C1, and use IO accesses for deeper C-states. This option is useful for power and performance comparisons, and also to work around BIOS bugs where broken MWAIT support is advertised. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10807 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10914 Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Li Shaohua <shaohua.li@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>
* ACPI: Create "idle=halt" bootparamZhao Yakui2008-07-161-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | "idle=halt" limits the idle loop to using the halt instruction. No MWAIT, no IO accesses, no C-states deeper than C1. If something is broken in the idle code, "idle=halt" is a less severe workaround than "idle=poll" which disables all power savings.

* ACPI: Enhance /sys/firmware/interrupts to allow enable/disable/clear from ↵Zhang Rui2008-07-161-40/+87
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | user-space Allow users to enable/disable/clear a specific & valid GPE/Fixed Event in user space. This is useful for debugging, especially for some interrupt storm issues. All wakeup GPEs are disabled and they can not be enabled at runtime, and we mark them as invalid. All GPEs that don't have a _Lxx/_Exx method are marked as invalid. All Fixed Events that don't have an event handler are marked as invalid and they can't be enabled until an event handler is registered.

These timers are used by the drivers that need time precise interrupts (like for USB transactions scheduling for the Freescale USB Host controller as found in some QE and CPM chips), or these timers could be used as wakeup events from the CPU deep-sleep mode. Things unimplemented: 1. Cascaded (32 bit) timers (1-2, 3-4). This is straightforward to implement when needed, two timers should be marked as "requested" and configured as appropriate. 2. Super-cascaded (64 bit) timers (1-2-3-4). This is also straightforward to implement when needed, all timers should be marked as "requested" and configured as appropriate.

The reason that this capability was removed was that this could result in your kernel being pretty much useless, as rcutorture would be running starting from early boot. This problem has been avoided by (1) making rcutorture run only three seconds of every six by default, (2) adding a CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE that permits rcutorture to be quiesced at boot time, and (3) adding a sysctl in /proc named /proc/sys/kernel/rcutorture_runnable that permits rcutorture to be quiesced and unquiesced when built into the kernel. Please note that this /proc file is -not- available when rcutorture is built as a module. Please also note that to get the earlier take-no-prisoners behavior, you must use the boot command line to set rcutorture's "stutter" parameter to zero. The rcutorture quiescing mechanism is currently quite crude: loops in each rcutorture process that poll a global variable once per tick. Suggestions for improvement are welcome. The default action will be to reduce the polling rate to a few times per second. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This behavior can be controlled using a new "stutter" module parameter, so that "stutter=0" gives the old default behavior of running continuously. Starting and stopping rcutorture more heavily stresses RCU's interaction with the scheduler, as well as exercising more paths through the grace-period detection code. Note that the default to "shuffle_interval" has also been adjusted from 5 seconds to 3 seconds to provide varying overlap with the "stutter" interval. I am still unable to provoke the failures that Alexey has been seeing, even with this patch, but will be doing a few additional things to beef up rcutorture.

This is a replacement for legacy i2c drivers, much cleaner. Where drivers had to implement both a legacy i2c_driver and a new-style i2c_driver so far, this mechanism makes it possible to get rid of the legacy i2c_driver and implement both enumerated and detected device support with just one (new-style) i2c_driver. Here is a quick conversion guide for these drivers, step by step: * Delete the legacy driver definition, registration and removal. Delete the attach_adapter and detach_client methods of the legacy driver. * Change the prototype of the legacy detect function from static int foo_detect(struct i2c_adapter *adapter, int address, int kind); to static int foo_detect(struct i2c_client *client, int kind, struct i2c_board_info *info); * Set the new-style driver detect callback to this new function, and set its address_data to &addr_data (addr_data is generally provided by I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD.) * Add the appropriate class to the new-style driver. This is typically the class the legacy attach_adapter method was checking for. Class checking is now mandatory (done by i2c-core.) See <linux/i2c.h> for the list of available classes. * Remove the i2c_client allocation and freeing from the detect function. A pre-allocated client is now handed to you by i2c-core, and is freed automatically. * Make the detect function fill the type field of the i2c_board_info structure it was passed as a parameter, and return 0, on success. If the detection fails, return -ENODEV. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

This patch creates /proc/irq/default_smp_affinity that lets users set default affinity mask for the newly allocated IRQs. Changing the default does not affect affinity masks for the currently active IRQs, they have to be changed explicitly. Updated based on Paul J's comments and added some more documentation.
