2018-07-07misc: ti-st: Allow compile test of GPIO consumers if !GPIOLIBGeert Uytterhoeven1-1/+2
The GPIO subsystem provides dummy GPIO consumer functions if GPIOLIB is not enabled. Hence drivers that depend on GPIOLIB, but use GPIO consumer functionality only, can still be compiled if GPIOLIB is not enabled. Relax the dependency on GPIOLIB if COMPILE_TEST is enabled, where appropriate.

2018-07-07tsl2550: fix lux1_input error in low lightMatt Ranostay1-1/+1
ADC channel 0 photodiode detects both infrared + visible light, but ADC channel 1 just detects infrared. However, the latter is a bit more sensitive in that range so complete darkness or low light causes a error condition in which the chan0 - chan1 is negative that results in a -EAGAIN. This patch changes the resulting lux1_input sysfs attribute message from "Resource temporarily unavailable" to a user-grokable lux value of 0.

2018-07-07misc: mic: fix passing the current timeArnd Bergmann3-3/+14
I noticed that the mic driver passes a 'struct timespec64' as part of a message into an attached device, where it is used to set the current system time. This won't actually work if one of the two sides runs a 32-bit kernel and the other runs a 64-bit kernel, since the structure layout is different between the two. I found this while replacing calls to the deprecated do_settimeofday64() interface with the modern ktime_get_real_ts() variant, but it seems appropriate to address both at the same time here. To make sure we have a sane structure, let's define our own structure using the layout of the 64-bit kernel.

2018-07-07siox: don't create a thread without starting itUwe Kleine-König1-5/+5
When a siox master device is registered a kthread is created that is only started when triggered by userspace. So this thread might be in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state for long and trigger a warning [ 241.130465] INFO: task siox-0:626 blocked for more than 120 seconds. with the respective debug settings enabled. It might be right to put an unstarted thread to TASK_IDLE (in kernel/kthread.c:kthread()) instead, but independant of this discussion it is cleaner for siox_master_register() to start the thread immediately. The effect is that it enters its own waiting state and then stays in state TASK_IDLE which doesn't trigger the above warning. As siox_poll_thread() uses some variables of the device the initialisation of these is moved before thread creation.

2018-07-03Drivers: hv: vmbus: Make TLFS #define names architecture neutralMichael Kelley1-5/+5
The Hyper-V feature and hint flags in hyperv-tlfs.h are all defined with the string "X64" in the name. Some of these flags are indeed x86/x64 specific, but others are not. For the ones that are used in architecture independent Hyper-V driver code, or will be used in the upcoming support for Hyper-V for ARM64, this patch removes the "X64" from the name. This patch changes the flags that are currently known to be used on multiple architectures. Hyper-V for ARM64 is still a work-in-progress and the Top Level Functional Spec (TLFS) has not been separated into x86/x64 and ARM64 areas. So additional flags may need to be updated later.

2018-07-03vmw_balloon: remove inflation rate limitingNadav Amit1-81/+11
Since commit 33d268ed0019 ("VMware balloon: Do not limit the amount of frees and allocations in non-sleep mode."), the allocations are not increased, and therefore balloon inflation rate limiting is in practice broken. While we can restore rate limiting, in practice we see that it can result in adverse effect, as the hypervisor throttles down the VM if it does not respond well enough, or alternatively causes it to perform very poorly as the host swaps out the VM memory. Throttling the VM down can even have a cascading effect, in which the VM reclaims memory even slower and consequentially throttled down even further. We therefore remove all the rate limiting mechanisms, including the slow allocation cycles, as they are likely to do more harm than good.
