Pull Documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "It's been a relatively busy cycle for docs: - A fair pile of RST conversions, many from Mauro. These create more than the usual number of simple but annoying merge conflicts with other trees, unfortunately. He has a lot more of these waiting on the wings that, I think, will go to you directly later on. - A new document on how to use merges and rebases in kernel repos, and one on Spectre vulnerabilities. - Various improvements to the build system, including automatic markup of function() references because some people, for reasons I will never understand, were of the opinion that :c:func:``function()`` is unattractive and not fun to type. - We now recommend using sphinx 1.7, but still support back to 1.4. - Lots of smaller improvements, warning fixes, typo fixes, etc" * tag 'docs-5.3' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (129 commits) docs: automarkup.py: ignore exceptions when seeking for xrefs docs: Move binderfs to admin-guide Disable Sphinx SmartyPants in HTML output doc: RCU callback locks need only _bh, not necessarily _irq docs: format kernel-parameters -- as code Doc : doc-guide : Fix a typo platform: x86: get rid of a non-existent document Add the RCU docs to the core-api manual Documentation: RCU: Add TOC tree hooks Documentation: RCU: Rename txt files to rst Documentation: RCU: Convert RCU UP systems to reST Documentation: RCU: Convert RCU linked list to reST Documentation: RCU: Convert RCU basic concepts to reST docs: filesystems: Remove uneeded .rst extension on toctables scripts/sphinx-pre-install: fix out-of-tree build docs: zh_CN: submitting-drivers.rst: Remove a duplicated Documentation/ Documentation: PGP: update for newer HW devices Documentation: Add section about CPU vulnerabilities for Spectre Documentation: platform: Delete x86-laptop-drivers.txt docs: Note that :c:func: should no longer be used ...

Documentation: gpio: Fix reference to gpiod_get_array()

2019-07-04T07:32:54+00:00

gpio: Propagate errors from gpiod_set_array_value_complex()

2018-10-01T10:22:15+00:00

Internal helper function gpiod_set_array_value_complex() was changed to return an error value, but not all gpiolib callers were updated to propagate the new error up. Fixes: 3027743f83f867d8 ("gpio: Remove VLA from gpiolib") Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij

gpiolib: Implement fast processing path in get/set array

2018-09-13T09:17:23+00:00

Certain GPIO descriptor arrays returned by gpio_get_array() may contain information on direct mapping of array members to pins of a single GPIO chip in hardware order. In such cases, bitmaps of values can be passed directly from/to the chip's .get/set_multiple() callbacks without wasting time on iterations. Add respective code to gpiod_get/set_array_bitmap_complex() functions. Pins not applicable for fast path are processed as before, skipping over the 'fast' ones.

gpiolib: Pass array info to get/set array functions

2018-09-13T09:16:54+00:00

In order to make use of array info obtained from gpiod_get_array() and speed up processing of arrays matching single GPIO chip layout, that information must be passed to get/set array functions. Extend the functions' API with that additional parameter and update all users. Pass NULL if a user builds an array itself from single GPIOs.

gpiolib: Identify arrays matching GPIO hardware

2018-09-13T09:16:12+00:00

Certain GPIO array lookup results may map directly to GPIO pins of a single GPIO chip in hardware order. If that condition is recognized and handled efficiently, significant performance gain of get/set array functions may be possible. While processing a request for an array of GPIO descriptors, identify those which represent corresponding pins of a single GPIO chip. Skip over pins which require open source or open drain special processing. Moreover, identify pins which require inversion. Pass a pointer to that information with the array to the caller so it can benefit from enhanced performance as soon as get/set array functions can accept and make efficient use of it.

gpiolib: Pass bitmaps, not integer arrays, to get/set array

2018-09-13T09:15:30+00:00

Most users of get/set array functions iterate consecutive bits of data, usually a single integer, while processing array of results obtained from, or building an array of values to be passed to those functions. Save time wasted on those iterations by changing the functions' API to accept bitmaps. All current users are updated as well. More benefits from the change are expected as soon as planned support for accepting/passing those bitmaps directly from/to respective GPIO chip callbacks if applicable is implemented.
