2006-07-19Input: unified force feedback support for memoryless devicesAnssi Hannula
Consolidate core implementing memoryless devices in one module; added support for gain and envelopes and periodic => rumble conversion. Signed-off-by: Anssi Hannula <anssi.hannula@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>
2006-07-19Input: implement new force feedback interfaceAnssi Hannula
Implement a new force feedback interface, in which all non-driver-specific operations are separated to a common module. This includes handling effect type validations, locking, etc. The effects are now file descriptor specific instead of the previous strange half-process half-fd specific behaviour. The effect memory of devices is not emptied if the root user opens and closes the device while another user is using effects. This is a minor change and most likely no force feedback aware programs are affected by this negatively. Otherwise the userspace interface is left unaltered.

2006-07-06Input: introduce input_inject_event() functionDmitry Torokhov
Create input_inject_event() function which is to be used by input handlers as opposed to input_event() which is reserved for drivers implementing input devices. The difference is that if device is "grabbed" by some process input_inject_event() will ignore events unless sent from the handle that is currently owns the device. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>
2006-07-06Input: add start() method to input handlersDmitry Torokhov
The new start() method is called immediately after connect() and also when "grabbed" device is released by its owner. This will allow input handlers to re-synchronize state of once-grabbed device with the rest of devices. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>
2006-07-06Input: remove accept method from input_devDmitry Torokhov
This method used to enforce exclusive access to iforce devices, but presenlty there are no known users of this method. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>

convert: - runqueue_t to 'struct rq' - prio_array_t to 'struct prio_array' - migration_req_t to 'struct migration_req' I was the one who added these but they are both against the kernel coding style and also were used inconsistently at places. So just get rid of them at once, now that we are flushing the scheduler patch-queue anyway.

2006-07-03[PATCH] lockdep: annotate sk_locksIngo Molnar
Teach sk_lock semantics to the lock validator. In the softirq path the slock has mutex_trylock()+mutex_unlock() semantics, in the process context sock_lock() case it has mutex_lock()/mutex_unlock() semantics. Thus we treat sock_owned_by_user() flagged areas as an exclusion area too, not just those areas covered by a held sk_lock.slock. Effect on non-lockdep kernels: minimal, sk_lock_sock_init() has been turned into an inline function.

2006-07-03[PATCH] lockdep: annotate blkdev nestingIngo Molnar
Teach special (recursive) locking code to the lock validator.

[unused on non-lockdep] - a subclass parameter to __blkdev_put(), which is a new internal function for the main blkdev_put*() functions. [parameter unused on non-lockdep kernels, except for two sanity check WARN_ON()s] these functions carry no semantical difference - they only express object dependencies towards the lockdep subsystem.

2006-07-03[PATCH] lockdep: coreIngo Molnar
Do 'make oldconfig' and accept all the defaults for new config options - reboot into the kernel and if everything goes well it should boot up fine and you should have /proc/lockdep and /proc/lockdep_stats files. Typically if the lock validator finds some problem it will print out voluminous debug output that begins with "BUG: ..." and which syslog output can be used by kernel developers to figure out the precise locking scenario. What does the lock validator do? It "observes" and maps all locking rules as they occur dynamically (as triggered by the kernel's natural use of spinlocks, rwlocks, mutexes and rwsems). Whenever the lock validator subsystem detects a new locking scenario, it validates this new rule against the existing set of rules. If this new rule is consistent with the existing set of rules then the new rule is added transparently and the kernel continues as normal. If the new rule could create a deadlock scenario then this condition is printed out. When determining validity of locking, all possible "deadlock scenarios" are considered: assuming arbitrary number of CPUs, arbitrary irq context and task context constellations, running arbitrary combinations of all the existing locking scenarios. In a typical system this means millions of separate scenarios. This is why we call it a "locking correctness" validator - for all rules that are observed the lock validator proves it with mathematical certainty that a deadlock could not occur (assuming that the lock validator implementation itself is correct and its internal data structures are not corrupted by some other kernel subsystem). [see more details and conditionals of this statement in include/linux/lockdep.h and Documentation/lockdep-design.txt] Furthermore, this "all possible scenarios" property of the validator also enables the finding of complex, highly unlikely multi-CPU multi-context races via single single-context rules, increasing the likelyhood of finding bugs drastically. In practical terms: the lock validator already found a bug in the upstream kernel that could only occur on systems with 3 or more CPUs, and which needed 3 very unlikely code sequences to occur at once on the 3 CPUs. That bug was found and reported on a single-CPU system (!). So in essence a race will be found "piecemail-wise", triggering all the necessary components for the race, without having to reproduce the race scenario itself! In its short existence the lock validator found and reported many bugs before they actually caused a real deadlock. To further increase the efficiency of the validator, the mapping is not per "lock instance", but per "lock-class". For example, all struct inode objects in the kernel have inode->inotify_mutex. If there are 10,000 inodes cached, then there are 10,000 lock objects. But ->inotify_mutex is a single "lock type", and all locking activities that occur against ->inotify_mutex are "unified" into this single lock-class. The advantage of the lock-class approach is that all historical ->inotify_mutex uses are mapped into a single (and as narrow as possible) set of locking rules - regardless of how many different tasks or inode structures it took to build this set of rules. The set of rules persist during the lifetime of the kernel. To see the rough magnitude of checking that the lock validator does, here's a portion of /proc/lockdep_stats, fresh after bootup: lock-classes: 694 [max: 2048] direct dependencies: 1598 [max: 8192] indirect dependencies: 17896 all direct dependencies: 16206 dependency chains: 1910 [max: 8192] in-hardirq chains: 17 in-softirq chains: 105 in-process chains: 1065 stack-trace entries: 38761 [max: 131072] combined max dependencies: 2033928 hardirq-safe locks: 24 hardirq-unsafe locks: 176 softirq-safe locks: 53 softirq-unsafe locks: 137 irq-safe locks: 59 irq-unsafe locks: 176 The lock validator has observed 1598 actual single-thread locking patterns, and has validated all possible 2033928 distinct locking scenarios.
