2008-10-16rtc: file close() consistently disables repeating irqsDavid Brownell
Make the rtc framework consistent about disabling 1/second update IRQs that may have been activated through the /dev interface, when that /dev file is closed. (It may have closed because of coredump, etc.) This was previously done only for emulated update IRQs ... now, do it always. Also comment the current policy: repeating IRQs (periodic, update) that userspace enabled will be cleanly disabled, but alarms are left alone. Such repeating IRQs are a constant and pointless system load. Update some RTC drivers to remove now-needless release() methods. Most such methods just enforce that policy. The others all seem to be buggy, and mistreat in-kernel clients of periodic or alarm IRQs.

2008-10-03rtc: fix kernel panic on second use of SIGIO nofiticationMarcin Slusarz
When userspace uses SIGIO notification and forgets to disable it before closing file descriptor, rtc->async_queue contains stale pointer to struct file. When user space enables again SIGIO notification in different process, kernel dereferences this (poisoned) pointer and crashes. So disable SIGIO notification on close.

With commit 5ad31a575157147b43fa84ef1e21471661653878 ("rtc: remove BKL for ioctl()"), RTC_UIE_ON ioctl cause double lock on rtc->ops_lock.

2008-07-30rtc-dev: stop periodic interrupts on device releaseTomas Janousek
Solves http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11127 The old rtc.c driver did it and some drivers (like rtc-sh) do it in their release function, though they should not -- because they should provide the irq_set_state op and the rtc framework itself should care about it. This patch makes it do so. I am aware that some drivers, like rtc-sh, handle userspace PIE sets in their ioctl op (instead of having the framework call the op), exporting the irq_set_state op at the same time. The logic in rtc_irq_set_state should make sure it doesn't matter and the driver should not need to care stopping periodic interrupts in its release routine any more. The correct way, in my opinion, should be this: 1) The driver provides the irq_set_state op and does not care closing the interrupts in its release op. 2) If the driver does not provide the op and handles PIE in the ioctl op, it's reponsible for closing them in its release op. 3) Something similar for other IRQs, like UIE -- if there's no in-kernel API like irq_set_state, handle it in ioctl and release ops. The framework will be responsible either for everything or for nothing. (This will probably change later.)

2008-07-24rtc: remove BKL for ioctl()David Brownell
Remove implicit use of BKL in ioctl() from the RTC framework. Instead, the rtc->ops_lock is used. That's the same lock that already protects the RTC operations when they're issued through the exported rtc_*() calls in drivers/rtc/interface.c ... making this a bugfix, not just a cleanup, since both ioctl calls and set_alarm() need to update IRQ enable flags and that implies a common lock (which RTC drivers as a rule do not provide on their own). A new comment at the declaration of "struct rtc_class_ops" summarizes current locking rules. It's not clear to me that the exceptions listed there should exist ... if not, those are pre-existing problems which can be fixed in a patch that doesn't relate to BKL removal.

2008-02-06rtc-cmos alarm acts as oneshotDavid Brownell
Start making the rtc-cmos alarm act more like a oneshot alarm by disabling that alarm after its IRQ fires. (ACPI hooks are also needed.) The Linux RTC framework has previously been a bit vague in this area, but any other behavior is problematic and not very portable. RTCs with full YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM[:SS] alarms won't have a problem here. Only ones with partial match criteria, with the most visible example being the PC RTC, get confused. (Because the criteria will match repeatedly.) Update comments relating to that oneshot behavior and timezone handling. (Timezones are another issue that's mostly visible with rtc-cmos. That's because PCs often dual-boot MS-Windows, which likes its RTC to match local wall-clock time instead of UTC.)

2007-05-08rtc: remove "RTC_ALM_SET mode" bugsDavid Brownell
This fixes a common glitch in how RTC drivers handle two "set alarm" modes, by getting rid of the surprising/hidden one that was rarely implemented correctly (and which could expose nonportable hardware-specific behavior). The glitch comes from the /dev/rtcX logic implementing the legacy RTC_ALM_SET (limited to 24 hours, needing RTC_AIE_ON) ioctl on top of the RTC driver call providing access to the newer RTC_WKALM_SET (without those limitations) by initializing the day/month/year fields to be invalid ... that second mode. Now, since few RTC drivers check those fields, and most hardware misbehaves when faced with invalid date fields, many RTC drivers will set bogus alarm times on those RTC_ALM_SET code paths. (Several in-tree drivers have that issue, and I also noticed it with code reviews on several new RTC drivers.) This patch ensures that RTC drivers never see such invalid alarm fields, by moving some logic out of rtc-omap into the RTC_ALM_SET code and adding an explicit check (which will prevent the issue on other code paths).

2006-06-25[PATCH] RTC: rtc-dev UIE emulationAtsushi Nemoto
Import genrtc's RTC UIE emulation (CONFIG_GEN_RTC_X) to rtc-dev driver with slight adjustments/refinements. This makes UIE-less rtc drivers work better with programs doing read/poll on /dev/rtc, such as hwclock. This emulation should not harm rtc drivers with UIE support, since rtc_dev_ioctl() calls underlaying rtc driver's ioctl() first.

2006-05-21[PATCH] rtc subsystem: use ENOIOCTLCMD and ENOTTY where appropriateAlessandro Zummo
Appropriately use -ENOIOCTLCMD and -ENOTTY when the ioctl is not implemented by a driver. (akpm: we're not allowed to return -ENOIOCTLCMD to userspace. This patch does the right thing).

2006-05-01[PATCH] RTC: rtc-dev tweak for 64-bit kernelAtsushi Nemoto
Make rtc-dev work well on 64-bit platforms with 32-bit userland. On those platforms, users might try to read 32-bit integer value. This patch make rtc-dev's read() work well for both "int" and "long" size. This tweak is came from genrtc driver.

2006-03-27[PATCH] RTC subsystem: dev interfaceAlessandro Zummo
Add the dev interface to the RTC subsystem. Each RTC will be available under /dev/rtcX . A symlink from /dev/rtc0 to /dev/rtc cab be obtained with the following udev rule: KERNEL=="rtc0", SYMLINK+="rtc" Signed-off-by: Alessandro Zummo <a.zummo@towertech.it> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
