* access_process_vm device memory infrastructureRik van Riel2008-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to be able to debug things like the X server and programs using the PPC Cell SPUs, the debugger needs to be able to access device memory through ptrace and /proc/pid/mem. This patch: Add the generic_access_phys access function and put the hooks in place to allow access_process_vm to access device or PPC Cell SPU memory.

* mm: add a basic debugging framework for memory initialisationMel Gorman2008-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Boot initialisation is very complex, with significant numbers of architecture-specific routines, hooks and code ordering. While significant amounts of the initialisation is architecture-independent, it trusts the data received from the architecture layer. This is a mistake, and has resulted in a number of difficult-to-diagnose bugs. This patchset adds some validation and tracing to memory initialisation. It also introduces a few basic defensive measures. The validation code can be explicitly disabled for embedded systems. This patch: Add additional debugging and verification code for memory initialisation. Once enabled, the verification checks are always run and when required additional debugging information may be outputted via a mminit_loglevel= command-line parameter. The verification code is placed in a new file mm/mm_init.c. Ideally other mm initialisation code will be moved here over time.

The full spectrum of configurability is supported: boot option, sysctl option and Kconfig option. it's default-disabled.

Add the code to the Cell's IOMMU implementation to use this code. Dynamic mappings can be weakly or strongly ordered on an individual basis but the fixed mapping has to be either completely strong or completely weak. This is currently decided by a kernel boot option (pass iommu_fixed=weak for a weakly ordered fixed linear mapping, strongly ordered is the default).

For example what is the sysfs path for /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3160827AS_5MT004CK? With this change a call to stat(2) returns the major:minor then userspace can see that /sys/dev/block/8:32 links to /sys/block/sdc. What are the alternatives?: 1/ Add an ioctl to return the path: Doable, but sysfs is meant to reduce the need to proliferate ioctl interfaces into the kernel, so this seems counter productive. 2/ Use udev to create these symlinks: Also doable, but it adds a udev dependency to utilities that might be running in a limited environment like an initramfs. 3/ Do a full-tree search of sysfs.

With the current code, if a normal resume fails, it's an unrecoverable error. With the patch, if a normal resume fails (and if the device is enabled for USB-Persist) then a reset-resume is tried. This fixes the problem reported in Bugzilla #10977. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Some key structural differences from the previous ACM support, shared with with the generic serial function (next patch): - As a function driver, it can be combined with other functions. One gadget configuration could offer both serial and network links, as an example. - One serial port can be exposed in multiple configurations; the /dev/ttyGS0 node could be exposed regardless of which config the host selected. - One configuration can expose multiple serial ports, such as ttyGS0, ttyGS1, ttyGS2, and ttyGS3. This code should be a lot easier to understand than the previous all-in-one-big-file version of the driver.

These operate at either high or full/low speeds and at a given bMaxPower. - struct usb_composite_driver ... groups one or more such configurations into a gadget driver, which may be registered or unregistered. - struct usb_composite_dev ... a usb_composite_driver manages this; it wraps the usb_gadget exposed by the controller driver. This also includes some basic kerneldoc. How to use it (the short version): provide a usb_composite_driver with a bind() that calls usb_add_config() for each of the needed configurations. The configurations in turn have bind() calls, which will usb_add_function() for each function required. Each function's bind() allocates resources needed to perform its tasks, like endpoints; sometimes configurations will allocate resources too. Separate patches will convert most gadget drivers to this infrastructure. Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Update the documentation accordingly. This is a net object code shrink and cleanup; it should make it a lot easier to see how the TTY glue should accomodate updates to the TTY layer, be bugfixed, etc. Notable behavior changes include: it can now support getty even when there's no USB connection; it fits properly into the mdev/udev world; and RX handling is better (throttling works, and low latency). Configurations with scripts setting up the /dev/ttygserial device node (with "experimental" major number) may want to change that to be a symlink pointing to the /dev/ttyGS0 file, as a migration aid; else, just switch entirely over to mdev/udev.

Unfortunately in-kernel 64bit counters are still required, for example for "connbytes" extension. However, 64bit counters waste a lot of memory and it was not possible to enable/disable it runtime. This patch: - reimplements accounting with respect to the extension infrastructure, - makes one global version of seq_print_acct() instead of two seq_print_counters(), - makes it possible to enable it at boot time (for CONFIG_SYSCTL/CONFIG_SYSFS=n), - makes it possible to enable/disable it at runtime by sysctl or sysfs, - extends counters from 32bit to 64bit, - renames ip_conntrack_counter -> nf_conn_counter, - enables accounting code unconditionally (no longer depends on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT), - set initial accounting enable state based on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT - removes buggy IPCT_COUNTER_FILLING event handling. If accounting is enabled newly created connections get additional acct extend. Old connections are not changed as it is not possible to add a ct_extend area to confirmed conntrack. Accounting is performed for all connections with acct extend regardless of a current state of "net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_acct".
