2012-11-05mfd: Versatile Express config infrastructurePawel Moll1-0/+85
Versatile Express platform has an elaborated configuration system, consisting of microcontrollers residing on the mother- and daughterboards known as Motherboard/Daughterboard Configuration Controller (MCC and DCC). The controllers are responsible for the platform initialization (reset generation, flash programming, FPGA bitfiles loading etc.) but also control clock generators, voltage regulators, gather environmental data like temperature, power consumption etc. Even the video output switch (FPGA) is controlled that way. Those devices are _not_ visible in the main address space and the usual communication channel uses some kind of a bridge in the peripheral block sending commands (requests) to the controllers and receiving responses. It can take up to 500 microseconds for a transaction to be completed, therefore it is important to provide a non-blocking interface to it. This patch adds an abstraction of this infrastructure. Bridge drivers can register themselves with the framework. Then, a driver of a device can request an abstract "function" - the request will be redirected to a bridge referred by thedd "arm,vexpress,config-bridge" property of the device tree node.

2012-11-05ARM: plat-nomadik: move MTU, kill plat-nomadikLinus Walleij1-0/+9
This moves the MTU timer driver from arch/arm/plat-nomadik to drivers/clocksource and moves the header file to the platform_data directory. As this moves the last file being compiled to an object out of arch/arm/plat-nomadik, we have to "turn off the light" and delete the plat-nomadik directory, because it is not allowed to have an empty Makefile in a plat-* directory. This is probably also a desired side effect of depopulating the arch/arm directory of drivers. Luckily we have just deleted all the <plat/*> include files prior to this so by moving the last one we may delete the directory. After this all the Ux500 and Nomadik device drivers live outside of the arch/arm hierarchy.

2012-11-02tracing: Use irq_work for wake ups and remove *_nowake_*() functionsSteven Rostedt1-7/+7
Have the ring buffer commit function use the irq_work infrastructure to wake up any waiters waiting on the ring buffer for new data. The irq_work was created for such a purpose, where doing the actual wake up at the time of adding data is too dangerous, as an event or function trace may be in the midst of the work queue locks and cause deadlocks. The irq_work will either delay the action to the next timer interrupt, or trigger an IPI to itself forcing an interrupt to do the work (in a safe location). With irq_work, all ring buffer commits can safely do wakeups, removing the need for the ring buffer commit "nowake" variants, which were used by events and function tracing. All commits can now safely use the normal commit, and the "nowake" variants can be removed. Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2012-11-01sk-filter: Add ability to get socket filter program (v2)Pavel Emelyanov1-0/+1
The SO_ATTACH_FILTER option is set only. I propose to add the get ability by using SO_ATTACH_FILTER in getsockopt. To be less irritating to eyes the SO_GET_FILTER alias to it is declared. This ability is required by checkpoint-restore project to be able to save full state of a socket. There are two issues with getting filter back. First, kernel modifies the sock_filter->code on filter load, thus in order to return the filter element back to user we have to decode it into user-visible constants. Fortunately the modification in question is interconvertible. Second, the BPF_S_ALU_DIV_K code modifies the command argument k to speed up the run-time division by doing kernel_k = reciprocal(user_k). Bad news is that different user_k may result in same kernel_k, so we can't get the original user_k back. Good news is that we don't have to do it. What we need to is calculate a user2_k so, that reciprocal(user2_k) == reciprocal(user_k) == kernel_k i.e. if it's re-loaded back the compiled again value will be exactly the same as it was. That said, the user2_k can be calculated like this user2_k = reciprocal(kernel_k) with an exception, that if kernel_k == 0, then user2_k == 1. The optlen argument is treated like this -- when zero, kernel returns the amount of sock_fprog elements in filter, otherwise it should be large enough for the sock_fprog array. changes since v1: * Declared SO_GET_FILTER in all arch headers * Added decode of vlan-tag codes Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-11-01genirq: Provide means to retrigger parentThomas Gleixner2-0/+12
Attempts to retrigger nested threaded IRQs currently fail because they have no primary handler. In order to support retrigger of nested IRQs, the parent IRQ needs to be retriggered. To fix, when an IRQ needs to be resent, if the interrupt has a parent IRQ and runs in the context of the parent IRQ, then resend the parent. Also, handle_nested_irq() needs to clear the replay flag like the other handlers, otherwise check_irq_resend() will set it and it will never be cleared. Without clearing, it results in the first resend working fine, but check_irq_resend() returning early on subsequent resends because the replay flag is still set. Problem discovered on ARM/OMAP platforms where a nested IRQ that's also a wakeup IRQ happens late in suspend and needed to be retriggered during the resume process.

Otherwise the handover won't work. This process is not visible to the hub driver, so it has to be handled in ehci-hcd.

2012-10-31net: compute skb->rxhash if nic hash may be 3-tupleWillem de Bruijn1-1/+1
Network device drivers can communicate a Toeplitz hash in skb->rxhash, but devices differ in their hashing capabilities. All compute a 5-tuple hash for TCP over IPv4, but for other connection-oriented protocols, they may compute only a 3-tuple. This breaks RPS load balancing, e.g., for TCP over IPv6 flows. Additionally, for GRE and other tunnels, the kernel computes a 5-tuple hash over the inner packet if possible, but devices do not. This patch recomputes the rxhash in software in all cases where it cannot be certain that a 5-tuple was computed. Device drivers can avoid recomputation by setting the skb->l4_rxhash flag. Recomputing adds cycles to each packet when RPS is enabled or the packet arrives over a tunnel. A comparison of 200x TCP_STREAM between two servers running unmodified netnext with rxhash computation in hardware vs software (using ethtool -K eth0 rxhash [on|off]) shows how much time is spent in __skb_get_rxhash in this worst case: 0.03% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash 0.03% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash 0.05% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash With 200x TCP_RR it increases to 0.10% netperf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash 0.10% netperf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash 0.10% netperf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash I considered having the patch explicitly skips recomputation when it knows that it will not improve the hash (TCP over IPv4), but that conditional complicates code without saving many cycles in practice, because it has to take place after flow dissector.
