nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus

2016-10-08T01:46:30+00:00

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative.  Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".

We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.

This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

staging: fsl-mc: add support for device table matching

2016-06-27T00:14:03+00:00

Move the definition of fsl_mc_device_id to its proper location in
mod_devicetable.h, and add fsl-mc bus support to devicetable-offsets.c
and file2alias.c to enable device table matching.  With this patch udev
based module loading of fsl-mc drivers is supported.

of: fix autoloading due to broken modalias with no 'compatible'

2016-06-08T00:40:20+00:00

Because of an improper dereference, a stray 'C' character was output to
the modalias when no 'compatible' was specified. This is the case for
some old PowerMac drivers which only set the 'name' property. Fix it to
let them match again.

modpost: fix module autoloading for OF devices with generic compatible property

2016-05-06T00:38:53+00:00

Since the wildcard at the end of OF module aliases is gone, autoloading
of modules that don't match a device's last (most generic) compatible
value fails.

For example the CODA960 VPU on i.MX6Q has the SoC specific compatible
"fsl,imx6q-vpu" and the generic compatible "cnm,coda960".  Since the
driver currently only works with knowledge about the SoC specific
integration, it doesn't list "cnm,cod960" in the module device table.

This results in the device compatible
"of:NvpuTCfsl,imx6q-vpuCcnm,coda960" not matching the module alias
"of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpu" anymore, whereas before commit 2f632369ab79
("modpost: don't add a trailing wildcard for OF module aliases") it
matched the module alias "of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpu*".

This patch adds two module aliases for each compatible, one without the
wildcard and one with "C*" appended.

  $ modinfo coda | grep imx6q
  alias:          of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpuC*
  alias:          of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpu

objtool: Mark non-standard object files and directories

2016-02-29T07:35:02+00:00

Code which runs outside the kernel's normal mode of operation often does
unusual things which can cause a static analysis tool like objtool to
emit false positive warnings:

 - boot image
 - vdso image
 - relocation
 - realmode
 - efi
 - head
 - purgatory
 - modpost

Set OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD for their related files and directories,
which will tell objtool to skip checking them.  It's ok to skip them
because they don't affect runtime stack traces.

Also skip the following code which does the right thing with respect to
frame pointers, but is too "special" to be validated by a tool:

 - entry
 - mcount

Also skip the test_nx module because it modifies its exception handling
table at runtime, which objtool can't understand.  Fortunately it's
just a test module so it doesn't matter much.

Currently objtool is the only user of OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD, but it
might eventually be useful for other tools.

powerpc: Simplify module TOC handling

2016-01-21T03:10:56+00:00

PowerPC64 uses the symbol .TOC. much as other targets use
_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. It identifies the value of the GOT pointer (or in
powerpc parlance, the TOC pointer). Global offset tables are generally
local to an executable or shared library, or in the kernel, module. Thus
it does not make sense for a module to resolve a relocation against
.TOC. to the kernel's .TOC. value. A module has its own .TOC., and
indeed the powerpc64 module relocation processing ignores the kernel
value of .TOC. and instead calculates a module-local value.

This patch removes code involved in exporting the kernel .TOC., tweaks
modpost to ignore an undefined .TOC., and the module loader to twiddle
the section symbol so that .TOC. isn't seen as undefined.

Note that if the kernel was compiled with -msingle-pic-base then ELFv2
would not have function global entry code setting up r2. In that case
the module call stubs would need to be modified to set up r2 using the
kernel .TOC. value, requiring some of this code to be reinstated.

mpe: Furthermore a change in binutils master (not yet released) causes
the current way we handle the TOC to no longer work when building with
MODVERSIONS=y and RELOCATABLE=n. The symptom is that modules can not be
loaded due to there being no version found for TOC.

modpost: don't add a trailing wildcard for OF module aliases

2016-01-15T00:00:49+00:00

Commit ac551828993e ("modpost: i2c aliases need no trailing wildcard")
removed the wildcard at the end of the I2C module aliases because I2C
devices have no IDs so the aliases are just arbitrary device names.

This is also true for OF modaliases since a compatible string is used to
define a specific IP hardware block.  So the modalias should match a
specific compatible string and not attempt to match a compatible string
whose name matches the beginning of another one.

For example, the following driver module:

  $ modinfo cros_ec_keyb | grep alias
  alias:          platform:cros-ec-keyb
  alias:          of:N*T*Cgoogle,cros-ec-keyb*

will be tried to be loaded for an alias of:N*T*Cgoogle,cros-ec-keyb-v2
but there could be a different driver that supports the device for that
compatible string so it's better to remove the trailing wildcard for OF.

Also, remove the word "always" from the add_wildcard() function comment
since that was carried from the time where a wildcard was always added
at the end of the module alias for all the devices.

Merge tag 'sound-4.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound

2015-11-06T19:04:07+00:00

Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
 "Here is the first batch of updates for sound system on 4.4-rc1.

  Again at this time, the update looks fairly calm; no big changes in
  either ALSA core or ASoC infrastructures, rather all small cleanups,
  in addition to the new stuff as usual.

  The biggest changes are about Firewire sound devices.  It gained lots
  of new device support, and MIDI functionality.  Also there are updates
  for a few still working-in-progress stuff (topology API and ASoC
  skylake), too.  But overall, this update should give no big surprise.

  Some highlights are below:

  Core:
   - A few more Kconfig items for tinification; it's marked as EXPERT,
     so normal user should't be bothered :)
   - Refactoring with a new PCM hw_constraint helper
   - Removal of unused transfer_ack_{begin,end} PCM callbacks

  Firewire:
   - Restructuring of code subtree, lots of refactoring
   - Support AMDTP variants
   - New driver for Digidesign 002/003 family
   - Adds support for TASCAM FireOne to ALSA OXFW driver
   - Add MIDI support to TASCAM and Digi00x devices

  HD-Audio:
   - Automated modalias generation for codec drivers, finally
   - Improvement on heuristics for setting mixer name
   - A few fixes for longstanding bugs on Creative CA0132 cards
   - Addition of audio rate callback with i915 communication
   - Fix suspend issue on recent Dell XPS
   - Intel Lewisburg controller support

  ASoC:
   - Updates to the topology userspace interface
   - Big updates to the Renesas support (rcar)
   - More updates for supporting Intel Sky Lake systems
   - New drivers for Asahi Kasei Microdevices AK4613, Allwinnner A10,
     Cirrus Logic WM8998, Dialog DA7219, Nuvoton NAU8825, Rockchip
     S/PDIF, and Atmel class D amplifier

  USB-Audio:
   - A fix for newer Roland MIDI devices
   - Quirks and workarounds for Zoom R16/24 device

  Misc:
   - A few fixes for some old Cirrus CS46xx PCI sound boards
   - Yet another fixes for some old ESS Maestro3 PCI sound boards"
