2009-04-20perf_counter tools: add in basic glue from GitIngo Molnar
First very raw version at having a central 'perf' command and a list of subcommands: perf top perf stat perf record perf report ... This is done by picking up Git's collection of utility functions, and hacking them to build fine in this new environment. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-04-20perf_counter: copy in Git's top MakefileIngo Molnar
We'd like to have a similar user-space structure as Git has, for the perfcounter tools - so copy in Git's toplevel makefile as-is. We'll strip it down in subsequent commits to make it fit the perfcounters code. The Git version used: 66996ec: Sync with 1.6.2.4 Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-04-07nilfs2: clean up sketch fileRyusuke Konishi
The sketch file is a file to mark checkpoints with user data. It was experimentally introduced in the original implementation, and now obsolete. The file was handled differently with regular files; the file size got truncated when a checkpoint was created. This stops the special treatment and will treat it as a regular file. Most users are not affected because mkfs.nilfs2 no longer makes this file.

2009-04-07kprobes: support per-kprobe disablingMasami Hiramatsu
Add disable_kprobe() and enable_kprobe() to disable/enable kprobes temporarily. disable_kprobe() asynchronously disables probe handlers of specified kprobe. So, after calling it, some handlers can be called at a while. enable_kprobe() enables specified kprobe. aggr_pre_handler and aggr_post_handler check disabled probes. On the other hand aggr_break_handler and aggr_fault_handler don't check it because these handlers will be called while executing pre or post handlers and usually those help error handling.

2009-04-07mm: add /proc controls for pdflush threadsPeter W Morreale
Add /proc entries to give the admin the ability to control the minimum and maximum number of pdflush threads. This allows finer control of pdflush on both large and small machines. The rationale is simply one size does not fit all. Admins on large and/or small systems may want to tune the min/max pdflush thread count to best suit their needs. Right now the min/max is hardcoded to 2/8. While probably a fair estimate for smaller machines, large machines with large numbers of CPUs and large numbers of filesystems/block devices may benefit from larger numbers of threads working on different block devices. Even if the background flushing algorithm is radically changed, it is still likely that multiple threads will be involved and admins would still desire finer control on the min/max other than to have to recompile the kernel. The patch adds '/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_min' and '/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_max' with r/w permissions. The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_min is 1 and the maximum value is the current value of nr_pdflush_threads_max. This minimum is required since additional thread creation is performed in a pdflush thread itself. The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_max is the current value of nr_pdflush_threads_min and the maximum value can be 1000. Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt is also updated.

2009-04-07mflash: initial supportunsik Kim
This driver supports mflash IO mode for linux. Mflash is embedded flash drive and mainly targeted mobile and consumer electronic devices. Internally, mflash has nand flash and other hardware logics and supports 2 different operation (ATA, IO) modes. ATA mode doesn't need any new driver and currently works well under standard IDE subsystem. Actually it's one chip SSD. IO mode is ATA-like custom mode for the host that doesn't have IDE interface. Followings are brief descriptions about IO mode. A. IO mode based on ATA protocol and uses some custom command. (read confirm, write confirm) B. IO mode uses SRAM bus interface. C. IO mode supports 4kB boot area, so host can boot from mflash. This driver is quitely similar to a standard ATA driver, but because of following reasons it is currently seperated with ATA layer. 1. ATA layer deals standard ATA protocol. ATA layer have many low- level device specific interface, but data transfer keeps ATA rule. But, mflash IO mode doesn't. 2. Even though currently not used in mflash driver code, mflash has some custom command and modes. (nand fusing, firmware patch, etc) If this feature supported in linux kernel, ATA layer more altered. 3. Currently PATA platform device driver doesn't support interrupt. (I'm not sure) But, mflash uses interrupt (polling mode is just for debug). 4. mflash is somewhat under-develop product. Even though some company already using mflash their own product, I think more time is needed for standardization of custom command and mode. That time (maybe October) I will talk to with ATA people. If they accept integration, I will integrate.

2009-04-06V4L/DVB (11321): pxa_camera: Redesign DMA handlingRobert Jarzmik
The DMA transfers in pxa_camera showed some weaknesses in multiple queued buffers context : - poll/select problem The bug shows up with capture_example tool from v4l2 hg tree. The process just "stalls" on a "select timeout". - multiple buffers DMA starting When multiple buffers were queued, the DMA channels were always started right away. This is not optimal, as a special case appears when the first EOF was not yet reached, and the DMA channels were prematurely started. - Maintainability DMA code was a bit obfuscated. Rationalize the code to be easily maintainable by anyone. - DMA hot chaining DMA is not stopped anymore to queue a buffer, the buffer is queued with DMA running. As a tribute, a corner case exists where chaining happens while DMA finishes the chain, and the capture is restarted to deal with the missed link buffer.

2009-04-06i2c: Deprecate client_register and client_unregister methodsJean Delvare
The new i2c binding model makes the client_register and client_unregister methods of struct i2c_adapter useless, so we can remove them with the rest of the legacy model. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2009-04-06leds: Add openfirmware platform device supportTrent Piepho
Add bindings to support LEDs defined as of_platform devices in addition to the existing bindings for platform devices. New options in Kconfig allow the platform binding code and/or the of_platform code to be turned on. The of_platform code is of course only available on archs that have OF support. The existing probe and remove methods are refactored to use new functions create_gpio_led(), to create and register one led, and delete_gpio_led(), to unregister and free one led. The new probe and remove methods for the of_platform driver can then share most of the common probe and remove code with the platform driver. The suspend and resume methods aren't shared, but they are very short. The actual led driving code is the same for LEDs created by either binding. The OF bindings are based on patch by Anton Vorontsov <avorontsov@ru.mvista.com>. They have been extended to allow multiple LEDs per device.

2009-04-06perf_counter tools: kerneltop: add real-time data acquisition threadMike Galbraith
Decouple kerneltop display from event acquisition by introducing a separate data acquisition thread. This fixes annnoying kerneltop display refresh jitter and missed events. Also add a -r <prio> option, to switch the data acquisition thread to real-time priority.

2009-04-06perf_counter tools: optionally scale counter values in perfstat modePaul Mackerras
Impact: new functionality This adds add an option to the perfstat mode of kerneltop to scale the reported counter values according to the fraction of time that each counter gets to count. This is invoked with the -l option (I used 'l' because s, c, a and e were all taken already.) This uses the new PERF_RECORD_TOTAL_TIME_{ENABLED,RUNNING} read format options. With this, we get output like this: $ ./perfstat -l -e 0:0,0:1,0:2,0:3,0:4,0:5 ./spin Performance counter stats for './spin': 4016072055 CPU cycles (events) (scaled from 66.53%) 2005887318 instructions (events) (scaled from 66.53%) 1762849 cache references (events) (scaled from 66.69%) 165229 cache misses (events) (scaled from 66.85%) 1001298009 branches (events) (scaled from 66.78%) 41566 branch misses (events) (scaled from 66.61%) Wall-clock time elapsed: 2438.227446 msecs This also lets us detect when a counter is zero because the counter never got to go on the CPU at all. In that case we print <not counted> rather than 0.
