2006-10-04[PATCH] atmel_serial: Fix roundoff error in atmel_console_get_optionsHaavard Skinnemoen
The atmel_console_get_options() function initializes the baud, parity and bits settings from the actual hardware setup, in case it has been initialized by a e.g. boot loader. The baud rate, however, is not necessarily exactly equal to one of the standard baud rates (115200, etc.) This means that the baud rate calculated by this function may be slightly higher or slightly lower than one of the standard baud rates. If the baud rate is slightly lower than the target, this causes problems when uart_set_option() tries to match the detected baud rate against the standard baud rate, as it will always select a baud rate that is lower or equal to the target rate. For example if the detected baud rate is slightly lower than 115200, usart_set_options() will select 57600. This patch fixes the problem by subtracting 1 from the value in BRGR when calculating the baud rate. The detected baud rate will thus always be higher than the nearest standard baud rate, and uart_set_options() will end up doing the right thing. Tested on ATSTK1000 and AT91RM9200-EK boards. Both are broken without this patch. Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com> Acked-by: Andrew Victor <andrew@sanpeople.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-10-04[PATCH] AVR32: Allow renumbering of serial devicesHaavard Skinnemoen
Allow the board to remap actual USART peripheral devices to serial devices by calling at32_map_usart(hw_id, serial_line). This ensures that even though ATSTK1002 uses USART1 as the first serial port, it will still have a ttyS0 device. This also adds a board-specific early setup hook and moves the at32_setup_serial_console() call there from the platform code.

2006-10-04[PATCH] atmel_serial: Pass fixed register mappings through platform_dataHaavard Skinnemoen
In order to initialize the serial console early, the atmel_serial driver had to do a hack where it compared the physical address of the port with an address known to be permanently mapped, and used it as a virtual address. This got around the limitation that ioremap() isn't always available when the console is being initalized. This patch removes that hack and replaces it with a new "regs" field in struct atmel_uart_data that the board-specific code can initialize to a fixed virtual mapping for platform devices where this is possible. It also initializes the DBGU's regs field with the address the driver used to check against. On AVR32, the "regs" field is initialized from the physical base address when this it can be accessed through a permanently 1:1 mapped segment, i.e. the P4 segment. If regs is NULL, the console initialization is delayed until the "real" driver is up and running and ioremap() can be used.

Instead, it adds adds a flag rcu_ctrlblk.signaled, which records the fact that one of CPUs has sent a resched IPI since the last rcu_start_batch(). Roughly speaking, we need two rcu_start_batch()s in order to move callbacks from ->nxtlist to ->donelist. This means that when ->qlen exceeds qhimark and continues to grow, we should send a resched IPI, and then do it again after we gone through a quiescent state. On the other hand, if it was already sent, we don't need to do it again when another CPU detects overflow of the queue. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Acked-by: Paul E.

2006-10-04[PATCH] rcu: Fix sign bug making rcu_random always return the same sequenceJosh Triplett
rcu_random uses a counter rrs_count to occasionally mix data from get_random_bytes into the state of its pseudorandom generator. However, the rrs_counter gets declared as an unsigned long, and rcu_random checks for --rrs_count < 0, so this code will never mix any real random data into the state, and will thus always return the same sequence of random numbers. Also, change the return value of rcu_random from long to unsigned long, to avoid potential issues caused by the use of the % operator, which can return negative values for negative left operands.

2006-10-04[PATCH] cpufreq: make the transition_notifier chain use SRCUAlan Stern
This patch (as762) changes the cpufreq_transition_notifier_list from a blocking_notifier_head to an srcu_notifier_head. This will prevent errors caused attempting to call down_read() to access the notifier chain at a time when interrupts must remain disabled, during system suspend. It's not clear to me whether this is really necessary; perhaps the chain could be made into an atomic_notifier. However a couple of the callout routines do use blocking operations, so this approach seems safer. The head of the notifier chain needs to be initialized before use; this is done by an __init routine at core_initcall time. If this turns out not to be a good choice, it can easily be changed.

2006-10-04[PATCH] SRCU: report out-of-memory errorsAlan Stern
Currently the init_srcu_struct() routine has no way to report out-of-memory errors. This patch (as761) makes it return -ENOMEM when the per-cpu data allocation fails. The patch also makes srcu_init_notifier_head() report a BUG if a notifier head can't be initialized. Perhaps it should return -ENOMEM instead, but in the most likely cases where this might occur I don't think any recovery is possible. Notifier chains generally are not created dynamically.

2006-10-04[PATCH] Add SRCU-based notifier chainsAlan Stern
This patch (as751) adds a new type of notifier chain, based on the SRCU (Sleepable Read-Copy Update) primitives recently added to the kernel. An SRCU notifier chain is much like a blocking notifier chain, in that it must be called in process context and its callout routines are allowed to sleep. The difference is that the chain's links are protected by the SRCU mechanism rather than by an rw-semaphore, so calling the chain has extremely low overhead: no memory barriers and no cache-line bouncing. On the other hand, unregistering from the chain is expensive and the chain head requires special runtime initialization (plus cleanup if it is to be deallocated). SRCU notifiers are appropriate for notifiers that will be called very frequently and for which unregistration occurs very seldom.

2006-10-04[PATCH] srcu-3: RCU variant permitting read-side blockingPaul E. McKenney
Updated patch adding a variant of RCU that permits sleeping in read-side critical sections. SRCU is as follows: o Each use of SRCU creates its own srcu_struct, and each srcu_struct has its own set of grace periods. This is critical, as it prevents one subsystem with a blocking reader from holding up SRCU grace periods for other subsystems. o The SRCU primitives (srcu_read_lock(), srcu_read_unlock(), and synchronize_srcu()) all take a pointer to a srcu_struct. o The SRCU primitives must be called from process context. o srcu_read_lock() returns an int that must be passed to the matching srcu_read_unlock(). Realtime RCU avoids the need for this by storing the state in the task struct, but SRCU needs to allow a given code path to pass through multiple SRCU domains -- storing state in the task struct would therefore require either arbitrary space in the task struct or arbitrary limits on SRCU nesting. So I kicked the state-storage problem up to the caller. Of course, it is not permitted to call synchronize_srcu() while in an SRCU read-side critical section. o There is no call_srcu(). It would not be hard to implement one, but it seems like too easy a way to OOM the system. (Hey, we have enough trouble with call_rcu(), which does -not- permit readers to sleep!!!) So, if you want it, please tell me why... [josht@us.ibm.com: sparse notation] Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2006-10-04[PATCH] htirq: tidy up the htirq codeEric W. Biederman
This moves the declarations for the architecture helpers into include/linux/htirq.h from the generic include/linux/pci.h. Hopefully this will make this distinction clearer. htirq.h is included where it is needed. The dependency on the msi code is fixed and removed. The Makefile is tidied up. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-10-04[PATCH] msi: refactor and move the msi irq_chip into the arch codeEric W. Biederman
It turns out msi_ops was simply not enough to abstract the architecture specific details of msi. So I have moved the resposibility of constructing the struct irq_chip to the architectures, and have two architecture specific functions arch_setup_msi_irq, and arch_teardown_msi_irq. For simple architectures those functions can do all of the work. For architectures with platform dependencies they can call into the appropriate platform code. With this msi.c is finally free of assuming you have an apic, and this actually takes less code. The helpers for the architecture specific code are declared in the linux/msi.h to keep them separate from the msi functions used by drivers in linux/pci.h Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-10-04[PATCH] msi: only use a single irq_chip for msi interruptsEric W. Biederman
The logic works like this. Since we no longer track the state logic by hand in msi.c startup and shutdown are no longer needed. By updating msi_set_mask_bit to work on msi devices that do not implement a mask bit we can always call the mask/unmask functions. What we really have are mask and unmask so we use them to implement the .mask and .unmask functions instead of .enable and .disable. By switching to the handle_edge_irq handler we only need an ack function that moves the irq if necessary. Which removes the old end and ack functions and their peculiar logic of sometimes disabling an irq. This removes the reliance on pre genirq irq handling methods. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-10-04[PATCH] msi: simplify msi sanity checks by adding with generic irq codeEric W. Biederman
Currently msi.c is doing sanity checks that make certain before an irq is destroyed it has no more users. By adding irq_has_action I can perform the test is a generic way, instead of relying on a msi specific data structure. By performing the core check in dynamic_irq_cleanup I ensure every user of dynamic irqs has a test present and we don't free resources that are in use. In msi.c this allows me to kill the attrib.state member of msi_desc and all of the assciated code to maintain it. To keep from freeing data structures when irq cleanup code is called to soon changing dyanamic_irq_cleanup is insufficient because there are msi specific data structures that are also not safe to free.

2006-10-04[PATCH] Initial generic hypertransport interrupt supportEric W. Biederman
This patch implements two functions ht_create_irq and ht_destroy_irq for use by drivers. Several other functions are implemented as helpers for arch specific irq_chip handlers. The driver for the card I tested this on isn't yet ready to be merged. However this code is and hypertransport irqs are in use in a few other places in the kernel. Not that any of this will get merged before 2.6.19 Because the ipath-ht400 is slightly out of spec this code will need to be generalized to work there. I think all of the powerpc uses are for a plain interrupt controller in a chipset so support for native hypertransport devices is a little less interesting. However I think this is a half way decent model on how to separate arch specific and generic helper code, and I think this is a functional model of how to get the architecture dependencies out of the msi code.
