2009-09-25ACPI: remove acpi_device.flags.compatible_idsBjorn Helgaas
We now keep a single list of IDs that includes both the _HID and any _CIDs. We no longer need to keep track of whether the device has a _CID. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2009-09-25ACPI: maintain a single list of _HID and _CID IDsBjorn Helgaas
There's no need to treat _HID and _CID differently. Keeping them in a single list makes code that uses the IDs a little simpler because it can just traverse the list rather than checking "do we have a HID?", "do we have any CIDs?"

2009-09-25ACPI: make sure every acpi_device has an IDBjorn Helgaas
This makes sure every acpi_device has at least one ID. If we build an acpi_device for a namespace node with no _HID or _CID, we sometimes synthesize an ID like "LNXCPU" or "LNXVIDEO". If we don't even have that, give it a default "device" ID. Note that this means things like: /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/HWP0001:00/HWP0002:04/device:00 (a PCI slot SxFy device) will have "hid" and "modprobe" entries, where they didn't before. These aren't very useful (a HID of "device" doesn't tell you what *kind* of device it is, so it doesn't help find a driver), but I don't think they're harmful.

2009-09-25ACPI: use acpi_device_hid() when possibleBjorn Helgaas

2009-09-25ACPI: fix synthetic HID for \_SB_Bjorn Helgaas
This makes \_SB_ show up as /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00 rather than "device:00". This has been broken for a loooong time (at least since 2.6.13) because device->parent is an acpi_device pointer, not a handle.

2009-09-25ACPI: handle re-enumeration, when acpi_devices might already existBjorn Helgaas
acpi_bus_scan() traverses the namespace to enumerate devices and uses acpi_add_single_object() to create acpi_devices. When the platform notifies us of a hot-plug event, we need to traverse part of the namespace again to figure out what appeared or disappeared. (We don't yet call acpi_bus_scan() during hot-plug, but I plan to do that in the future.) This patch makes acpi_add_single_object() notice when we already have an acpi_device, so we don't need to make a new one.

2009-09-25ACPI: factor out device type and status checkingBjorn Helgaas
This patch adds acpi_bus_type_and_status(), which determines the type of the object and whether we want to build an acpi_device for it. If it is acpi_device-worthy, it returns the type and the device's current status. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2009-09-25ACPI: add acpi_bus_get_status_handle()Bjorn Helgaas
Add acpi_bus_get_status_handle() so we can get the status of a namespace object before building a struct acpi_device. This removes a use of "device->flags.dynamic_status", a cached indicator of whether _STA exists. It seems simpler and more reliable to just evaluate _STA and catch AE_NOT_FOUND errors.

2009-09-25ACPI: use acpi_walk_namespace() to enumerate devicesBjorn Helgaas
acpi_bus_scan() currently walks the namespace manually. This patch changes it to use acpi_walk_namespace() instead. Besides removing some complicated code, this means we take advantage of the namespace locking done by acpi_walk_namespace(). The locking isn't so important at boot-time, but I hope to eventually use this same path to handle hot-addition of devices, when it will be important. Note that acpi_walk_namespace() does not actually visit the starting node first, so we need to do that by hand first.

2009-09-25ACPI: identify device tree root by null parent pointer, not ACPI_BUS_TYPEBjorn Helgaas
We can identify the root of the ACPI device tree by the fact that it has no parent. This is simpler than passing around ACPI_BUS_TYPE_SYSTEM and will help remove special treatment of the device tree root. Currently, we add the root by hand with ACPI_BUS_TYPE_SYSTEM. If we traverse the tree treating the root as just another device and use acpi_get_type(), the root shows up as ACPI_TYPE_DEVICE.

2009-09-25ACPI: enumerate namespace before adding functional fixed hardware devicesBjorn Helgaas
This patch changes the order so we enumerate in the "root, namespace, functional fixed" order instead of the "root, functional fixed, namespace" order. When I change acpi_bus_scan() to use acpi_walk_namespace(), it will use the former order, so this patch isolates the order change for bisectability.

2009-09-25ACPI: convert acpi_bus_scan() to operate on an acpi_handleBjorn Helgaas
This patch changes acpi_bus_scan() to take an acpi_handle rather than an acpi_device pointer. I plan to use acpi_bus_scan() in the hotplug path, and I'd rather not assume that notifications only go to nodes that already have acpi_devices. This will also help remove the special case for adding the root node. We currently add the root by hand before acpi_bus_scan(), but using a handle here means we can start the acpi_bus_scan() directly with the root even though it doesn't have an acpi_device yet. Note that acpi_bus_scan() currently adds and/or starts the *children* of its device argument. It doesn't do anything with the device itself.

2009-09-25ACPI: add acpi_bus_get_parent() and remove "parent" argumentsBjorn Helgaas
This patch adds acpi_bus_get_parent(), which ascends the namespace until it finds a parent with an acpi_device. Then we use acpi_bus_get_parent() in acpi_add_single_object(), so callers don't have to figure out or keep track of the parent acpi_device.

2009-09-25ACPI: remove unnecessary argument checkingBjorn Helgaas
acpi_add_single_object() is static, and all callers supply a valid "child" argument, so we don't need to check it. This patch also remove some unnecessary initializations. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2009-09-25ACPI: remove redundant "type" argumentsBjorn Helgaas

2009-09-25ACPI: remove acpi_device_set_context() "type" argumentBjorn Helgaas
We only pass the "type" to acpi_device_set_context() so we know whether the device has a handle to which we can attach the acpi_device pointer. But it's safer to just check for the handle directly, since it's in the acpi_device already. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2009-09-25ACPI: save device_type in acpi_deviceBjorn Helgaas
Most uses of the ACPI bus device_type (ACPI_BUS_TYPE_DEVICE, ACPI_BUS_TYPE_POWER, etc) are during device initialization, but we do need it later for notify handler installation, since that is different for fixed hardware devices vs. namespace devices. This patch saves the device_type in the acpi_device structure, so we can check that rather than comparing against the _HID string.

2009-09-25ACPI: remove redundant "handle" and "parent" argumentsBjorn Helgaas
In several cases, functions take handle and parent device pointers in addition to acpi_device pointers. But the acpi_device structure contains both the handle and the parent pointer, so it's pointless and error-prone to pass them all. This patch removes the unnecessary "handle" and "parent" arguments.

2009-09-25ACPICA: fixup after acpi_get_object_info() changeBjorn Helgaas
Commit 15b8dd53f5ffa changed info->hardware_id from a static array to a pointer. If hardware_id is non-NULL, it points to a NULL-terminated string, so we don't need to terminate it explicitly. However, it may be NULL; in that case, we *can't* add a NULL terminator. This causes a NULL pointer dereference oops for devices without _HID.

2009-09-24NOMMU: Fix MAP_PRIVATE mmap() of objects where the data can be mapped directlyDavid Howells
Fix MAP_PRIVATE mmap() of files and devices where the data in the backing store might be mapped directly. Use the BDI_CAP_MAP_DIRECT capability flag to govern whether or not we should be trying to map a file directly. This can be used to determine whether or not a region has been filled in at the point where we call do_mmap_shared() or do_mmap_private(). The BDI_CAP_MAP_DIRECT capability flag is cleared by validate_mmap_request() if there's any reason we can't use it. It's also cleared in do_mmap_pgoff() if f_op->get_unmapped_area() fails. Without this fix, attempting to run a program from a RomFS image on a non-mappable MTD partition results in a BUG as the kernel attempts XIP, and this can be caught in gdb: Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted. 0xc005dce8 in add_nommu_region (region=<value optimized out>) at mm/nommu.c:547 (gdb) bt #0 0xc005dce8 in add_nommu_region (region=<value optimized out>) at mm/nommu.c:547 #1 0xc005f168 in do_mmap_pgoff (file=0xc31a6620, addr=<value optimized out>, len=3808, prot=3, flags=6146, pgoff=0) at mm/nommu.c:1373 #2 0xc00a96b8 in elf_fdpic_map_file (params=0xc33fbbec, file=0xc31a6620, mm=0xc31bef60, what=0xc0213144 "executable") at mm.h:1145 #3 0xc00aa8b4 in load_elf_fdpic_binary (bprm=0xc316cb00, regs=<value optimized out>) at fs/binfmt_elf_fdpic.c:343 #4 0xc006b588 in search_binary_handler (bprm=0x6, regs=0xc33fbce0) at fs/exec.c:1234 #5 0xc006c648 in do_execve (filename=<value optimized out>, argv=0xc3ad14cc, envp=0xc3ad1460, regs=0xc33fbce0) at fs/exec.c:1356 #6 0xc0008cf0 in sys_execve (name=<value optimized out>, argv=0xc3ad14cc, envp=0xc3ad1460) at arch/frv/kernel/process.c:263 #7 0xc00075dc in __syscall_call () at arch/frv/kernel/entry.S:897 Note that this fix does the following commit differently: commit a190887b58c32d19c2eee007c5eb8faa970a69ba Author: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Date: Sat Sep 5 11:17:07 2009 -0700 nommu: fix error handling in do_mmap_pgoff() Reported-by: Graff Yang <graff.yang@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> Cc: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Cc: Greg Ungerer <gerg@snapgear.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This patch has the (likely harmless) side effect of moving .data.init_task inside the _edata.

2009-09-24Optimize the ordering of sections in RW_DATA_SECTION.Tim Abbott
The old RW_DATA_SECTION had INIT_TASK_DATA (which was more-than-PAGE_SIZE-aligned), followed by a bunch of small alignment stuff, followed by more PAGE_SIZE-aligned stuff, so you wasted memory in the middle of .data re-aligning back up to PAGE_SIZE. This patch sorts the sections by alignment requirements, which should pack them essentially optimally.
