2007-02-12[PATCH] AT91 GPIO wrappersDavid Brownell1-2/+46
This is a first cut at making the AT91 code use the generic GPIO calls. Note that the original AT91 GPIO calls merged the "mux pin as GPIO" and "set GPIO direction" functionality into one API call, contrary to what's specified as a cross-platform portable model. So this involved a few non-inlinable functions.

2007-02-12[PATCH] GPIO coreDavid Brownell1-0/+7
This defines a simple and minimalist programming interface for GPIO APIs: - Documentation/gpio.txt ... describes things (read it) - include/asm-arm/gpio.h ... defines the ARM hook, which just punts to <asm/arch/gpio.h> for any implementation - include/asm-generic/gpio.h ... implement "can sleep" variants as calling the normal ones, for systems that don't handle i2c expanders. The immediate need for such a cross-architecture API convention is to support drivers that work the same on AT91 ARM and AVR32 AP7000 chips, which embed many of the same controllers but have different CPUs. However, several other users have been reported, including a driver for a hardware watchdog chip and some handhelds.org multi-CPU button drivers.

2007-02-12[PATCH] SPI: Freescale iMX SPI controller driver (BIS+)Andrea Paterniani1-0/+72
Add the SPI controller driver for Freescale i.MX(S/L/1). Main features summary: > Per chip setup via board specific code and/or protocol driver. > Per transfer setup. > PIO transfers. > DMA transfers. > Managing of NULL tx / rx buffer for rd only / wr only transfers. This patch replace patch-2.6.20-rc4-spi_imx with the following changes: > Few cosmetic changes. > Function map_dma_buffers now return 0 for success and -1 for failure. > Solved a bug inside spi_imx_probe function (wrong error path). > Solved a bug inside setup function (bad undo setup for max_speed_hz). > For read-only transfers, always write zero bytes. This is almost the same as the 'BIS' version sent by Andrea, except for updating the 'DUMMY' byte so that read-only transfers shift out zeroes. That part of the API changed recently, since some half duplex peripheral chips require that semantic.

2007-02-11[PATCH] consolidate line discipline number definitionsTilman Schmidt1-18/+0
The line discipline numbers N_* are currently defined for each architecture individually, but (except for a seeming mistake) identically, in asm/termios.h. There is no obvious reason why these numbers should be architecture specific, nor any apparent relationship with the termios structure. The total number of these, NR_LDISCS, is defined in linux/tty.h anyway. So I propose the following patch which moves the definitions of the individual line disciplines to linux/tty.h too. Three of these numbers (N_MASC, N_PROFIBUS_FDL, and N_SMSBLOCK) are unused in the current kernel, but the patch still keeps the complete set in case there are plans to use them yet.

2007-02-09[PATCH] kill eth_io_copy_and_sum()Al Viro2-8/+0
On all targets that sucker boils down to memcpy_fromio(sbk->data, from, len). The function name is highly misguiding (it _never_ does any checksums), the last argument is just a noise and simply expanding the call to memcpy_fromio() gives shorter and more readable source. For a lot of reasons it has almost no remaining users, so it's better to just outright kill it.

2007-01-08[ARM] Resolve fuse and direct-IO failures due to missing cache flushesRussell King1-0/+10
fuse does not work on ARM due to cache incoherency issues - fuse wants to use get_user_pages() to copy data from the current process into kernel space. However, since this accesses userspace via the kernel mapping, the kernel mapping can be out of date wrt data written to userspace. This can lead to unpredictable behaviour (in the case of fuse) or data corruption for direct-IO. This resolves debian bug #402876 Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

On ixp23xx, it was thought to be necessary to disable coherency to work around certain silicon errata. This turns out not to be the case -- none of the documented errata workarounds require disabling coherency, and disabling coherency does not work around any existing errata.

2006-12-13[ARM] 4016/1: prefetch macro is wrong wrt gcc's "delete-null-pointer-checks"Nicolas Pitre1-8/+8
optimization The gcc manual says: |`-fdelete-null-pointer-checks' | Use global dataflow analysis to identify and eliminate useless | checks for null pointers. The compiler assumes that dereferencing | a null pointer would have halted the program. If a pointer is | checked after it has already been dereferenced, it cannot be null. | Enabled at levels `-O2', `-O3', `-Os'. Now the problem can be seen with this test case: #include <linux/prefetch.h> extern void bar(char *x); void foo(char *x) { prefetch(x); if (x) bar(x); } Because the constraint to the inline asm used in the prefetch() macro is a memory operand, gcc assumes that the asm code does dereference the pointer and the delete-null-pointer-checks optimization kicks in. Inspection of generated assembly for the above example shows that bar() is indeed called unconditionally without any test on the value of x. Of course in the prefetch case there is no real dereference and it cannot be assumed that a null pointer would have been caught at that point. This causes kernel oopses with constructs like hlist_for_each_entry() where the list's 'next' content is prefetched before the pointer is tested against NULL, and only when gcc feels like applying this optimization which doesn't happen all the time with more complex code. It appears that the way to prevent delete-null-pointer-checks optimization to occur in this case is to make prefetch() into a static inline function instead of a macro. At least this is what is done on x86_64 where a similar inline asm memory operand is used (I presume they would have seen the same problem if it didn't work) and resulting code for the above example confirms that. An alternative would consist of replacing the memory operand by a register operand containing the pointer, and use the addressing mode explicitly in the asm template. But that would be less optimal than an offsettable memory reference. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2006-12-13[PATCH] PM: Fix SMP races in the freezerRafael J. Wysocki1-0/+2
Currently, to tell a task that it should go to the refrigerator, we set the PF_FREEZE flag for it and send a fake signal to it. Unfortunately there are two SMP-related problems with this approach. First, a task running on another CPU may be updating its flags while the freezer attempts to set PF_FREEZE for it and this may leave the task's flags in an inconsistent state. Second, there is a potential race between freeze_process() and refrigerator() in which freeze_process() running on one CPU is reading a task's PF_FREEZE flag while refrigerator() running on another CPU has just set PF_FROZEN for the same task and attempts to reset PF_FREEZE for it. If the refrigerator wins the race, freeze_process() will state that PF_FREEZE hasn't been set for the task and will set it unnecessarily, so the task will go to the refrigerator once again after it's been thawed. To solve first of these problems we need to stop using PF_FREEZE to tell tasks that they should go to the refrigerator. Instead, we can introduce a special TIF_*** flag and use it for this purpose, since it is allowed to change the other tasks' TIF_*** flags and there are special calls for it. To avoid the freeze_process()-refrigerator() race we can make freeze_process() to always check the task's PF_FROZEN flag after it's read its "freeze" flag. We should also make sure that refrigerator() will always reset the task's "freeze" flag after it's set PF_FROZEN for it. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2006-12-13[ARM] Unuse another Linux PTE bitRussell King3-9/+13
L_PTE_ASID is not really required to be stored in every PTE, since we can identify it via the address passed to set_pte_at(). So, create set_pte_ext() which takes the address of the PTE to set, the Linux PTE value, and the additional CPU PTE bits which aren't encoded in the Linux PTE value.
