* Enable minimal per-device resume tracingLinus Torvalds2006-06-241-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | This is the minimal resume trace code to find which device resume (if any) results in problems. Usually, you'd use the information this generates as a starting point to adding more fine-grained trace event points. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* Add some basic resume trace facilitiesLinus Torvalds2006-06-242-0/+229
| | | | | | | | | | Considering that there isn't a lot of hw we can depend on during resume, this is about as good as it gets. This is x86-only for now, although the basic concept (and most of the code) will certainly work on almost any platform. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] Driver model: add ISA busRene Herman2006-06-212-0/+181
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During the recent "isa drivers using platform devices" discussion it was pointed out that (ALSA) ISA drivers ran into the problem of not having the option to fail driver load (device registration rather) upon not finding their hardware due to a probe() error not being passed up through the driver model. In the course of that, I suggested a seperate ISA bus might be best; Russell King agreed and suggested this bus could use the .match() method for the actual device discovery. The attached does this. For this old non (generically) discoverable ISA hardware only the driver itself can do discovery so as a difference with the platform_bus, this isa_bus also distributes match() up to the driver. As another difference: these devices only exist in the driver model due to the driver creating them because it might want to drive them, meaning that all device creation has been made internal as well. The usage model this provides is nice, and has been acked from the ALSA side by Takashi Iwai and Jaroslav Kysela. The ALSA driver module_init's now (for oldisa-only drivers) become: static int __init alsa_card_foo_init(void) { return isa_register_driver(&snd_foo_isa_driver, SNDRV_CARDS); } static void __exit alsa_card_foo_exit(void) { isa_unregister_driver(&snd_foo_isa_driver); } Quite like the other bus models therefore. This removes a lot of duplicated init code from the ALSA ISA drivers. The passed in isa_driver struct is the regular driver struct embedding a struct device_driver, the normal probe/remove/shutdown/suspend/resume callbacks, and as indicated that .match callback. The "SNDRV_CARDS" you see being passed in is a "unsigned int ndev" parameter, indicating how many devices to create and call our methods with. The platform_driver callbacks are called with a platform_device param; the isa_driver callbacks are being called with a "struct device *dev, unsigned int id" pair directly -- with the device creation completely internal to the bus it's much cleaner to not leak isa_dev's by passing them in at all. The id is the only thing we ever want other then the struct device * anyways, and it makes for nicer code in the callbacks as well. With this additional .match() callback ISA drivers have all options. If ALSA would want to keep the old non-load behaviour, it could stick all of the old .probe in .match, which would only keep them registered after everything was found to be present and accounted for. If it wanted the behaviour of always loading as it inadvertently did for a bit after the changeover to platform devices, it could just not provide a .match() and do everything in .probe() as before. If it, as Takashi Iwai already suggested earlier as a way of following the model from saner buses more closely, wants to load when a later bind could conceivably succeed, it could use .match() for the prerequisites (such as checking the user wants the card enabled and that port/irq/dma values have been passed in) and .probe() for everything else. This is the nicest model. To the code... This exports only two functions; isa_{,un}register_driver(). isa_register_driver() register's the struct device_driver, and then loops over the passed in ndev creating devices and registering them. This causes the bus match method to be called for them, which is: int isa_bus_match(struct device *dev, struct device_driver *driver) { struct isa_driver *isa_driver = to_isa_driver(driver); if (dev->platform_data == isa_driver) { if (!isa_driver->match || isa_driver->match(dev, to_isa_dev(dev)->id)) return 1; dev->platform_data = NULL; } return 0; } The first thing this does is check if this device is in fact one of this driver's devices by seeing if the device's platform_data pointer is set to this driver. Platform devices compare strings, but we don't need to do that with everything being internal, so isa_register_driver() abuses dev->platform_data as a isa_driver pointer which we can then check here. I believe platform_data is available for this, but if rather not, moving the isa_driver pointer to the private struct isa_dev is ofcourse fine as well. Then, if the the driver did not provide a .match, it matches. If it did, the driver match() method is called to determine a match. If it did _not_ match, dev->platform_data is reset to indicate this to isa_register_driver which can then unregister the device again. If during all this, there's any error, or no devices matched at all everything is backed out again and the error, or -ENODEV, is returned. isa_unregister_driver() just unregisters the matched devices and the driver itself. More global points/questions... - I'm introducing include/linux/isa.h. It was available but is ofcourse a somewhat generic name. Moving more isa stuff over to it in time is ofcourse fine, so can I have it please? :) - I'm using device_initcall() and added the isa.o (dependent on CONFIG_ISA) after the base driver model things in the Makefile. Will this do, or I really need to stick it in drivers/base/init.c, inside #ifdef CONFIG_ISA? It's working fine. Lastly -- I also looked, a bit, into integrating with PnP. "Old ISA" could be another pnp_protocol, but this does not seem to be a good match, largely due to the same reason platform_devices weren't -- the devices do not have a life of their own outside the driver, meaning the pnp_protocol {get,set}_resources callbacks would need to callback into driver -- which again means you first need to _have_ that driver. Even if there's clean way around that, you only end up inventing fake but valid-form PnP IDs and generally catering to the PnP layer without any practical advantages over this very simple isa_bus. The thing I also suggested earlier about the user echoing values into /sys to set up the hardware from userspace first is... well, cute, but a horrible idea from a user standpoint. Comments ofcourse appreciated. Hope it's okay. As said, the usage model is nice at least. Signed-off-by: Rene Herman <rene.herman@keyaccess.nl>

* [PATCH] driver core: driver_bind attribute returns incorrect valueRyan Wilson2006-04-141-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The manual driver <-> device binding attribute in sysfs doesn't return the correct value on failure or success of driver_probe_device. driver_probe_device returns 1 on success (the driver accepted the device) or 0 on probe failure (when the driver didn't accept the device but no real error occured). However, the attribute can't just return 0 or 1, it must return the number of bytes consumed from buf or an error value. Returning 0 indicates to userspace that nothing was written (even though the kernel has tried to do the bind/probe and failed). Returning 1 indicates that only one character was accepted in which case userspace will re-try the write with a partial string. A more correct version of driver_bind would return count (to indicate the entire string was consumed) when driver_probe_device returns 1 and -ENODEV when driver_probe_device returns 0.

There is no protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2 We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage classes: "Blocking" chains are always called from a process context and the callout routines are allowed to sleep; "Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and the callout routines are not allowed to sleep. We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in kernel/sys.c. With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to handle these things in their own way.) There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code had to be changed to avoid it.) Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much less frequent that calling a chain. Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.

If they are, please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems. (However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be atomic.)

I've tested this on my laptop, which would crash occaisionally on boot without the patch. With the patch, it hasn't crashed, but I can't be certain that this code path is exercised.

* [PATCH] Export cpu topology in sysfsZhang, Yanmin2006-02-032-0/+149
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch implements cpu topology exportation by sysfs. Items (attributes) are similar to /proc/cpuinfo. 1) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/physical_package_id: represent the physical package id of cpu X; 2) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_id: represent the cpu core id to cpu X; 3) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings: represent the thread siblings to cpu X in the same core; 4) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings: represent the thread siblings to cpu X in the same physical package; To implement it in an architecture-neutral way, a new source file, driver/base/topology.c, is to export the 5 attributes. If one architecture wants to support this feature, it just needs to implement 4 defines, typically in file include/asm-XXX/topology.h. The 4 defines are: #define topology_physical_package_id(cpu) #define topology_core_id(cpu) #define topology_thread_siblings(cpu) #define topology_core_siblings(cpu) The type of **_id is int. The type of siblings is cpumask_t. To be consistent on all architectures, the 4 attributes should have deafult values if their values are unavailable. Below is the rule. 1) physical_package_id: If cpu has no physical package id, -1 is the default value. 2) core_id: If cpu doesn't support multi-core, its core id is 0. 3) thread_siblings: Just include itself, if the cpu doesn't support HT/multi-thread. 4) core_siblings: Just include itself, if the cpu doesn't support multi-core and HT/Multi-thread. So be careful when declaring the 4 defines in include/asm-XXX/topology.h. If an attribute isn't defined on an architecture, it won't be exported. Thank Nathan, Greg, Andi, Paul and Venki. The patch provides defines for i386/x86_64/ia64.

* [PATCH] device_shutdown can loop if the driver frees itselfMichael Richardson2006-01-131-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes device_shutdown() to use the newly introduced safe reverse list traversal. We experienced loops on system reboot if we had removed and re-inserted our device from the device list. We noticed this problem on PPC405. Our PCI IDE device comes and goes a lot. Our hypothesis was that there was a loop caused by the driver->shutdown freeing memory. It is possible that we do something wrong as well, but being unable to reboot is kind of nasty.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add bus_type probe, remove and shutdown methods to replace the corresponding methods in struct device_driver. This matches the way we handle the suspend/resume methods. Since the bus methods override the device_driver methods, warn if a device driver is registered whose methods will not be called. The long-term idea is to remove the device_driver methods entirely.
