| * configfs: Allow ->make_item() and ->make_group() to return detailed errors.Joel Becker2008-07-171-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The configfs operations ->make_item() and ->make_group() currently return a new item/group. A return of NULL signifies an error. Because of this, -ENOMEM is the only return code bubbled up the stack. Multiple folks have requested the ability to return specific error codes when these operations fail. This patch adds that ability by changing the ->make_item/group() ops to return ERR_PTR() values. These errors are bubbled up appropriately. NULL returns are changed to -ENOMEM for compatibility. Also updated are the in-kernel users of configfs. This is a rework of reverted commit 11c3b79218390a139f2d474ee1e983a672d5839a. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>

* | Subject: [PATCH 1/2] serial: Add flush_buffer() operation to uart_opsHaavard Skinnemoen2008-07-201-0/+11
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Serial drivers using DMA (like the atmel_serial driver) tend to get very confused when the xmit buffer is flushed and nobody told them. They also tend to spew a lot of garbage since the DMA engine keeps running after the buffer is flushed and possibly refilled with unrelated data. This patch adds a new flush_buffer operation to the uart_ops struct, along with a call to it from uart_flush_buffer() right after the xmit buffer has been cleared. The driver can implement this in order to syncronize its internal DMA state with the xmit buffer when the buffer is flushed.

Provide a workaround for these systems allowing them to pass 'acpi_sleep=old_ordering' in the kernel command line so that it will use the pre-ACPI 2.0 ("old") suspend code ordering. Unfortunately, this requires us to add a platform hook to the resuming of devices for recovering the platform in case one of the device drivers' .suspend() routines returns error code. Namely, ACPI 1.0 specifies that _PTS should be called before suspending devices, but _WAK still should be called before resuming them in order to undo the changes made by _PTS. However, if there is an error during suspending devices, they are automatically resumed without returning control to the PM core, so the _WAK has to be called from within device_resume() in that cases. The patch also reorders and refactors the ACPI suspend/hibernation code to avoid duplication as far as reasonably possible. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

| * | PCI: boot parameter to avoid expansion ROM memory allocationGary Hade2008-06-101-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Contention for scarce PCI memory resources has been growing due to an increasing number of PCI slots in large multi-node systems. The kernel currently attempts by default to allocate memory for all PCI expansion ROMs so there has also been an increasing number of PCI memory allocation failures seen on these systems. This occurs because the BIOS either (1) provides insufficient PCI memory resource for all the expansion ROMs or (2) provides adequate PCI memory resource for expansion ROMs but provides the space in kernel unexpected BIOS assigned P2P non-prefetch windows. The resulting PCI memory allocation failures may be benign when related to memory requests for expansion ROMs themselves but in some cases they can occur when attempting to allocate space for more critical BARs. This can happen when a successful expansion ROM allocation request consumes memory resource that was intended for a non-ROM BAR. We have seen this happen during PCI hotplug of an adapter that contains a P2P bridge where successful memory allocation for an expansion ROM BAR on device behind the bridge consumed memory that was intended for a non-ROM BAR on the P2P bridge. In all cases the allocation failure messages can be very confusing for users. This patch provides a new 'pci=norom' kernel boot parameter that can be used to disable the default PCI expansion ROM memory resource allocation. This provides a way to avoid the above described issues on systems that do not contain PCI devices for which drivers or user-level applications depend on the default PCI expansion ROM memory resource allocation behavior.

When MWAIT is unavailable, the BIOS and OS generally negotiate to use the HALT instruction for C1, and use IO accesses for deeper C-states. This option is useful for power and performance comparisons, and also to work around BIOS bugs where broken MWAIT support is advertised. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10807 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10914 Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Li Shaohua <shaohua.li@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

These timers are used by the drivers that need time precise interrupts (like for USB transactions scheduling for the Freescale USB Host controller as found in some QE and CPM chips), or these timers could be used as wakeup events from the CPU deep-sleep mode. Things unimplemented: 1. Cascaded (32 bit) timers (1-2, 3-4). This is straightforward to implement when needed, two timers should be marked as "requested" and configured as appropriate. 2. Super-cascaded (64 bit) timers (1-2-3-4). This is also straightforward to implement when needed, all timers should be marked as "requested" and configured as appropriate.

The reason that this capability was removed was that this could result in your kernel being pretty much useless, as rcutorture would be running starting from early boot. This problem has been avoided by (1) making rcutorture run only three seconds of every six by default, (2) adding a CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE that permits rcutorture to be quiesced at boot time, and (3) adding a sysctl in /proc named /proc/sys/kernel/rcutorture_runnable that permits rcutorture to be quiesced and unquiesced when built into the kernel. Please note that this /proc file is -not- available when rcutorture is built as a module. Please also note that to get the earlier take-no-prisoners behavior, you must use the boot command line to set rcutorture's "stutter" parameter to zero. The rcutorture quiescing mechanism is currently quite crude: loops in each rcutorture process that poll a global variable once per tick. Suggestions for improvement are welcome. The default action will be to reduce the polling rate to a few times per second. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This behavior can be controlled using a new "stutter" module parameter, so that "stutter=0" gives the old default behavior of running continuously. Starting and stopping rcutorture more heavily stresses RCU's interaction with the scheduler, as well as exercising more paths through the grace-period detection code. Note that the default to "shuffle_interval" has also been adjusted from 5 seconds to 3 seconds to provide varying overlap with the "stutter" interval. I am still unable to provoke the failures that Alexey has been seeing, even with this patch, but will be doing a few additional things to beef up rcutorture.
