gnss: add GNSS receiver subsystem

2018-06-28T11:29:47+00:00

Add a new subsystem for GNSS (e.g. GPS) receivers. While GNSS receivers are typically accessed using a UART interface they often also support other I/O interfaces such as I2C, SPI and USB, while yet other devices use iomem or even some form of remote-processor messaging (rpmsg). The new GNSS subsystem abstracts the underlying interface and provides a new "gnss" class type, which exposes a character-device interface (e.g. /dev/gnss0) to user space. This allows GNSS receivers to have a representation in the Linux device model, something which is important not least for power management purposes. Note that the character-device interface provides raw access to whatever protocol the receiver is (currently) using, such as NMEA 0183, UBX or SiRF Binary. These protocols are expected to be continued to be handled by user space for the time being, even if some hybrid solutions are also conceivable (e.g. to have kernel drivers issue management commands). This will still allow for better platform integration by allowing GNSS devices and their resources (e.g. regulators and enable-gpios) to be described by firmware and managed by kernel drivers rather than platform-specific scripts and services. While the current interface is kept minimal, it could be extended using IOCTLs, sysfs or uevents as needs and proper abstraction levels are identified and determined (e.g. for device and feature identification).

hwtracing: Add HW tracing support menu

2018-03-29T10:38:10+00:00

Make a "HW tracing support" menu and move 2 entries into it. (No change in Coresight, which is ARM-specific and is only listed for ARM & ARM64.) This makes the Device Drivers menu more consistent and prevents these drivers from being listed at the top level of the Device Drivers menu.

slimbus: Add SLIMbus bus type

2017-12-19T10:01:02+00:00

SLIMbus (Serial Low Power Interchip Media Bus) is a specification developed by MIPI (Mobile Industry Processor Interface) alliance. SLIMbus is a 2-wire implementation, which is used to communicate with peripheral components like audio-codec. SLIMbus uses Time-Division-Multiplexing to accommodate multiple data channels, and control channel. Control channel has messages to do device-enumeration, messages to send/receive control-data to/from SLIMbus devices, messages for port/channel management, and messages to do bandwidth allocation. The framework supports multiple instances of the bus (1 controller per bus), and multiple slave devices per controller. This patch adds support to basic silmbus core which includes support to SLIMbus type, slimbus device registeration and some basic data structures.

siox: new driver framework for eckelmann SIOX

2017-12-19T08:26:00+00:00

SIOX is a bus system invented at Eckelmann AG to control their building management and refrigeration systems. Traditionally the bus was implemented on custom microcontrollers, today Linux based machines are in use, too. The topology on a SIOX bus looks as follows: ,------->--DCLK-->---------------+----------------------. ^ v v ,--------. ,----------------------. ,------ | | | ,--------------. | | | |--->--DOUT-->---|->-|shift register|->-|--->---| | | | `--------------' | | | master | | device | | device | | | ,--------------. | | | |---<--DIN---<---|-<-|shift register|-<-|---<---| | | | `--------------' | | `--------' `----------------------' `------ v ^ ^ `----------DLD-------------------+----------------------' There are two control lines (DCLK and DLD) driven from the bus master to all devices in parallel and two daisy chained data lines, one for input and one for output. DCLK is the clock to shift both chains by a single bit. On an edge of DLD the devices latch both their input and output shift registers. This patch adds a framework for this bus type.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

PM / OPP: Move the OPP directory out of power/

2017-10-03T00:45:12+00:00

The drivers/base/power/ directory is special and contains code related to power management core like system suspend/resume, hibernation, etc. It was fine to keep the OPP code inside it when we had just one file for it, but it is growing now and already has a directory for itself. Lets move it directly under drivers/ directory, just like cpufreq and cpuidle. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar Acked-by: Stephen Boyd Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki
