| * [PATCH] x86-64: Allow to run a program when a machine check event is detectedAndi Kleen2007-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a machine check event is detected (including a AMD RevF threshold overflow event) allow to run a "trigger" program. This allows user space to react to such events sooner. The trigger is configured using a new trigger entry in the machinecheck sysfs interface. It is currently shared between all CPUs. I also fixed the AMD threshold handler to run the machine check polling code immediately to actually log any events that might have caused the threshold interrupt. Also added some documentation for the mce sysfs interface. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

* | | i2c-parport: Add support for One For All remote JP1 interfaceJonathan McDowell2007-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This simple patch adds support to i2c-parport for the One For All remote JP1 parallel port interfaces which can be found detailed at: http://www.hifi-remote.com/jp1/hardware.shtml These allow access to the internal configuration EEPROM on various remote controls and there are a variety of Windows tools that make use of this hardware.

* | | i2c: Add driver suspend/resume/shutdown supportDavid Brownell2007-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Driver model updates for the I2C core: - Add new suspend(), resume(), and shutdown() methods. Use them in the standard driver model style; document them. - Minor doc updates to highlight zero-initialized fields in drivers, and the driver model accessors for "clientdata". If any i2c drivers were previously using the old suspend/resume calls in "struct driver", they were getting warning messages ... and will now no longer work. Other than that, this patch changes no behaviors; and it lets I2C drivers use conventional PM and shutdown support.

* | [PATCH] ufs2 write: mount as rwEvgeniy Dushistov2007-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These series of patches add UFS2 write-support. UFS2 - is default file system for recent versions of FreeBSD. The main differences from UFS1 from write support point of view are: 1)Not all inodes are allocated during formatation of disk. 2)All meta-data(pointer to data blocks) are 64bit(in UFS1 they are 32bit). So patch series consist of 1)make possible mount UFS2 in read-write mode 2)code to write ufs2 inodes and code to initialize inodes chunks. 3)work with 64bit meta-data I made simple testing like create/deleting/writing/reading/truncating, also I ran fsx-linux and untar and build kernel on UFS1 and UFS2, after that FreeBSD fsck do not find any errors in fs. This patch makes possible to mount ufs2 "rw", and updates UFS2 documentation: remove note about bug(it fixed by reallocate blocks on the fly patch) and add me in the list of people who want receive bug reports.

* | [PATCH] GPIO coreDavid Brownell2007-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This defines a simple and minimalist programming interface for GPIO APIs: - Documentation/gpio.txt ... describes things (read it) - include/asm-arm/gpio.h ... defines the ARM hook, which just punts to <asm/arch/gpio.h> for any implementation - include/asm-generic/gpio.h ... implement "can sleep" variants as calling the normal ones, for systems that don't handle i2c expanders. The immediate need for such a cross-architecture API convention is to support drivers that work the same on AT91 ARM and AVR32 AP7000 chips, which embed many of the same controllers but have different CPUs. However, several other users have been reported, including a driver for a hardware watchdog chip and some handhelds.org multi-CPU button drivers.

* | [PATCH] EDAC: Add memory scrubbing controls API to coreFrithiof Jensen2007-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is an attempt of providing an interface for memory scrubbing control in EDAC. This patch modifies the EDAC Core to provide the Interface for memory controller modules to implment. The following things are still outstanding: - K8 is the first implemenation, The patch provide a method of configuring the K8 hardware memory scrubber via the 'mcX' sysfs directory. There should be some fallback to a generic scrubber implemented in software if the hardware does not support scrubbing. Or .. the scrubbing sysfs entry should not be visible at all. - Only works with SDRAM, not cache, The K8 can scrub cache and l2cache also - but I think this is not so useful as the cache is busy all the time (one hopes). One would also expect that cache scrubbing requires hardware support. - Error Handling, I would like that errors are returned to the user in "terms of file system". - Presentation, I chose Bandwidth in Bytes/Second as a representation of the scrubbing rate for the following reasons: I like that the sysfs entries are sort-of textual, related to something that makes sense instead of magical values that must be looked up. "My People" wants "% main memory scrubbed per hour" others prefer "% memory bandwidth used" as representation, "bandwith used" makes it easy to calculate both versions in one-liner scripts. If one later wants to scrub cache, the scaling becomes wierd for K8 changing from "blocks of 64 byte memory" to "blocks of 64 cache lines" to "blocks of 64 bit". Using "bandwidth used" makes sense in all three cases, (I.M.O. anyway ;-). - Discovery, There is no way to discover the possible settings and what they do without reading the code and the documentation. *I* do not know how to make that work in a practical way. - Bugs(??), other tools can set invalid values in the memory scrub control register, those will read back as '-1', requiring the user to reset the scrub rate. This is how *I* think it should be. - Afflicting other areas of code, I made changes to edac_mc.c and edac_mc.h which will show up globally - this is not nice, it would be better that the memory scrubbing fuctionality and interface could be entirely contained within the memory controller it applies to. Frithiof Jensen edac_mc.c and its .h file is a CORE helper module for EDAC driver modules. This provides the abstraction for device specific drivers. It is fine to modify this CORE to provide help for new features of the the drivers doug thompson Signed-off-by: Frithiof Jensen <frithiof.jensen@ericson.com> Signed-off-by: doug thompson <norsk5@xmission.com> Acked-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The thought was that at minumum a new buffer needs to be added when a cpu comes up, but it wasn't worth the effort to remove buffers on cpu down since they'd be freed soon anyway when the channel was closed.

By default, free memory as previously. The first boot will need to hold a copy of the in memory fs for the second boot. This image can be large (much larger than the kernel), hence we can save time when the memory loader is slow. Also, it reduces the memory footprint while extracting the first boot since you don't need another copy of the fs.

* | | | devres: device resource managementTejun Heo2007-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement device resource management, in short, devres. A device driver can allocate arbirary size of devres data which is associated with a release function. On driver detach, release function is invoked on the devres data, then, devres data is freed. devreses are typed by associated release functions. Some devreses are better represented by single instance of the type while others need multiple instances sharing the same release function. Both usages are supported. devreses can be grouped using devres group such that a device driver can easily release acquired resources halfway through initialization or selectively release resources (e.g. resources for port 1 out of 4 ports). This patch adds devres core including documentation and the following managed interfaces. * alloc/free : devm_kzalloc(), devm_kzfree() * IO region : devm_request_region(), devm_release_region() * IRQ : devm_request_irq(), devm_free_irq() * DMA : dmam_alloc_coherent(), dmam_free_coherent(), dmam_declare_coherent_memory(), dmam_pool_create(), dmam_pool_destroy() * PCI : pcim_enable_device(), pcim_pin_device(), pci_is_managed() * iomap : devm_ioport_map(), devm_ioport_unmap(), devm_ioremap(), devm_ioremap_nocache(), devm_iounmap(), pcim_iomap_table(), pcim_iomap(), pcim_iounmap() Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
