2009-09-01[CPUFREQ] remove rwsem lock from CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP call (second call site)Mathieu Desnoyers
remove rwsem lock from CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP call (second call site) commit 42a06f2166f2f6f7bf04f32b4e823eacdceafdc9 Missed a call site for CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP to remove the rwlock taken around the teardown. To make a long story short, the rwlock write-lock causes a circular dependency with cancel_delayed_work_sync(), because the timer handler takes the read lock. Note that all callers to __cpufreq_set_policy are taking the rwsem. All sysfs callers (writers) hold the write rwsem at the earliest sysfs calling stage. However, the rwlock write-lock is not needed upon governor stop.

2009-09-01[CPUFREQ] ondemand - Use global sysfs dir for tuning settingsThomas Renninger
Ondemand has only global variables for userspace tunings via sysfs. But they were exposed per CPU which wrongly implies to the user that his settings are applied per cpu. Also locking sysfs against concurrent access won't be necessary anymore after deprecation time. This means the ondemand config dir is moved: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/ondemand -> /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand The old files will still exist, but reading or writing to them will result in one (printk_once) deprecation msg to syslog per file.

2009-09-01[CPUFREQ] Introduce global, not per core: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreqThomas Renninger
Currently everything in the cpufreq layer is per core based. This does not reflect reality, for example ondemand on conservative governors have global sysfs variables. Introduce a global cpufreq directory and add the kobject to the governor struct, so that governors can easily access it. The directory is initialized in the cpufreq_core_init initcall and thus will always be created if cpufreq is compiled in, even if no cpufreq driver is active later.

2009-09-01[CPUFREQ] update Doc for cpuinfo_cur_freq and scaling_cur_freqNaga Chumbalkar
I think the way "cpuinfo_cur_info" and "scaling_cur_info" are defined under ./Documentation/cpu-freq/user-guide.txt can be enhanced. Currently, they are both defined the same way: "Current speed/frequency" of the CPU, in KHz". Below is a patch that distinguishes one from the other. Regards, - naga - ----------------------------------------- Update description for "cpuinfo_cur_freq" and "scaling_cur_freq". Some of the wording is drawn from comments found in ./drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c: cpufreq_out_of_sync(): * @old_freq: CPU frequency the kernel thinks the CPU runs at * @new_freq: CPU frequency the CPU actually runs at Signed-off-by: Naga Chumbalkar <nagananda.chumbalkar@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>
2009-09-01[CPUFREQ] Re-enable cpufreq suspend and resume codeDominik Brodowski
Commit 4bc5d3413503 is broken and causes regressions: (1) cpufreq_driver->resume() and ->suspend() were only called on __powerpc__, but you could set them on all architectures. In fact, ->resume() was defined and used before the PPC-related commit 42d4dc3f4e1e complained about in 4bc5d3413503. (2) Therfore, the resume functions in acpi_cpufreq and speedstep-smi would never be called. (3) This means speedstep-smi would be unusuable after suspend or resume. The _real_ problem was calling cpufreq_driver->get() with interrupts off, but it re-enabling interrupts on some platforms. Why is ->get() necessary? Some systems like to change the CPU frequency behind our back, especially during BIOS-intensive operations like suspend or resume. If such systems also use a CPU frequency-dependant timing loop, delays might be off by large factors. Therefore, we need to ascertain as soon as possible that the CPU frequency is indeed at the speed we think it is. You can do this two ways: either setting it anew, or trying to get it. The latter is what was done, the former also has the same IRQ issue. So, let's try something different: defer the checking to after interrupts are re-enabled, by calling cpufreq_update_policy() (via schedule_work()). Timings may be off until this later stage, so let's watch out for resume regressions caused by the deferred handling of frequency changes behind the kernel's back.

2009-08-31ata_piix: parallel scanning on PATA needs an extra lockingBartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz
Commit log for commit 517d3cc15b36392e518abab6bacbb72089658313 ("[libata] ata_piix: Enable parallel scan") says: This patch turns on parallel scanning for the ata_piix driver. This driver is used on most netbooks (no AHCI for cheap storage it seems). The scan is the dominating time factor in the kernel boot for these devices; with this flag it gets cut in half for the device I used for testing (eeepc). Alan took a look at the driver source and concluded that it ought to be safe to do for this driver. Alan has also checked with the hardware team. and it is all true but once we put all things together additional constraints for PATA controllers show up (some hardware registers have per-host not per-port atomicity) and we risk misprogramming the controller. I used the following test to check whether the issue is real: @@ -736,8 +736,20 @@ static void piix_set_piomode(struct ata_ (timings[pio][1] << 8); } pci_write_config_word(dev, master_port, master_data); - if (is_slave) + if (is_slave) { + if (ap->port_no == 0) { + u8 tmp = slave_data; + + while (slave_data == tmp) { + pci_read_config_byte(dev, slave_port, &tmp); + msleep(50); + } + + dev_printk(KERN_ERR, &dev->dev, "PATA parallel scan " + "race detected\n"); + } pci_write_config_byte(dev, slave_port, slave_data); + } /* Ensure the UDMA bit is off - it will be turned back on if UDMA is selected */ and it indeed triggered the error message. Lets fix all such races by adding an extra locking to ->set_piomode and ->set_dmamode methods for PATA controllers. [ Alan: would be better to take the host lock in libata-core for these cases so that we fix all the adapters in one swoop.

But if there are multiple objects inactive, then they don't have seqnos and the first fence reg among them would be chosen.

0db501bd0610ee0c0 introduced a regresion in that it now sends a nul terminator but the length accounting when checking for space or reporting to userspace did not take this into account. This corrects all of the rounding logic. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2009-08-28inotify: do not send a block of zeros when no pathname is availableBrian Rogers
When an event has no pathname, there's no need to pad it with a null byte and therefore generate an inotify_event sized block of zeros. This fixes a regression introduced by commit 0db501bd0610ee0c0aca84d927f90bcccd09e2bd where my system wouldn't finish booting because some process was being confused by this.

2009-08-27module: workaround duplicate section namesJames Bottomley
The root cause is a duplicate section name (.text); is this legal? [ Amerigo Wang: "AFAIK, yes." ] However, there's a problem with commit 6d76013381ed28979cd122eb4b249a88b5e384fa in that if you fail to allocate a mod->sect_attrs (in this case it's null because of the duplication), it still gets used without checking in add_notes_attrs() This should fix it [ This patch leaves other problems, particularly the sections directory, but recent parisc toolchains seem to produce these modules and this prevents a crash and is a minimal change -- RR ] Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Tested-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-08-27xenfb: connect to backend before registering fbJeremy Fitzhardinge
As soon as the framebuffer is registered, our methods may be called by the kernel. This leads to a crash as xenfb_refresh() gets called before we have the irq. Connect to the backend before registering our framebuffer with the kernel.

2009-08-27lmb: Remove __init from lmb_end_of_DRAM()Benjamin Herrenschmidt
We call lmb_end_of_DRAM() to test whether a DMA mask is ok on a machine without IOMMU, but this function is marked as __init. I don't think there's a clean way to get the top of RAM max_pfn doesn't appear to include highmem or I missed (or we have a bug :-) so for now, let's just avoid having a broken 2.6.31 by making this function non-__init and we can revisit later.
