* lguest and virtio: cleanup struct definitions to Linux style.Rusty Russell2009-07-30
| | | | | | | | | | I've been doing this for years, and akpm picked me up on it about 12 months ago. lguest partly serves as example code, so let's do it Right. Also, remove two unused fields in struct vblk_info in the example launcher. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com>
* lguest: update commentryRusty Russell2009-07-30
| | | | | | | | | | Every so often, after code shuffles, I need to go through and unbitrot the Lguest Journey (see drivers/lguest/README). Since we now use RCU in a simple form in one place I took the opportunity to expand that explanation.

Lguest and S/390 both use an 8 bit value for the feature length, and this change broke them (if the code is naive).

* sysrq, kdump: make sysrq-c consistentHidetoshi Seto2009-07-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit d6580a9f15238b87e618310c862231ae3f352d2d ("kexec: sysrq: simplify sysrq-c handler") changed the behavior of sysrq-c to unconditional dereference of NULL pointer. So in cases with CONFIG_KEXEC, where crash_kexec() was directly called from sysrq-c before, now it can be said that a step of "real oops" was inserted before starting kdump. However, in contrast to oops via SysRq-c from keyboard which results in panic due to in_interrupt(), oops via "echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger" will not become panic unless panic_on_oops=1. It means that even if dump is properly configured to be taken on panic, the sysrq-c from proc interface might not start crashdump while the sysrq-c from keyboard can start crashdump. This confuses traditional users of kdump, i.e. people who expect sysrq-c to do common behavior in both of the keyboard and proc interface. This patch brings the keyboard and proc interface behavior of sysrq-c in line, by forcing panic_on_oops=1 before oops in sysrq-c handler. And some updates in documentation are included, to clarify that there is no longer dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC, and that now the system can just crash by sysrq-c if no dump mechanism is configured.

In particular, nf_conntrack RCU lookups rely on ct->tuplehash[xxx].hnnode.next being always valid (ie containing a valid 'nulls' value, or a valid pointer to next object in hash chain.) kmem_cache_zalloc() setups object with NULL values, but a NULL value is not valid for ct->tuplehash[xxx].hnnode.next. Fix is to call kmem_cache_alloc() and do the zeroing ourself. As spotted by Patrick, we also need to make sure lookup keys are committed to memory before setting refcount to 1, or a lockless reader could get a reference on the old version of the object. Its key re-check could then pass the barrier. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

This obviously has STRONG protocol implications since the chipselect transitions can't be used to synchronize state transitions with the SPI master. * SPI_READY ... defines open drain signal that's pulled low to pause the clock. This defines a 5-wire variant (normal 4-wire SPI plus READY) and two 4-wire variants (READY plus each of the 3-wire flavors). Such hardware flow control can be a big win. There are ADC converters and flash chips that expose READY signals, but not many host controllers support it today. The spi_bitbang code should be changed to use SPI_NO_CS instead of its current nonportable hack. That's a mode most hardware can easily support (unlike SPI_READY).

The advantage or disadvantage probably depends on the actual size of percpu area and specific processor. As performance degradation due to TLB pressure tends to be highly workload specific and subtle, it is difficult to decide which way to go without more data. This patch implements percpu_alloc kernel parameter to allow selecting which first chunk allocator to use to ease debugging and testing. While at it, make sure all the failure paths report why something failed to help determining why certain allocator isn't working. Also, kill the "Great future plan" comment which had already been realized quite some time ago.

For one, it's a inefficient way to do it and requires led trigger support to be compiled in. But the real reason is that is produces a glitch on the LED. The GPIO is allocate with the LED *off*, then *later* when the trigger runs it is turned back on. If the LED was already on via the GPIO's reset default or action of the firmware, this produces a glitch where the LED goes from on to off to on. While normally this is fast enough that it wouldn't be noticeable to a human observer, there are still serious problems. One is that there may be something else on the GPIO line, like a hardware alarm or watchdog, that is fast enough to notice the glitch. Another is that the kernel may panic before the LED is turned back on, thus hanging with the LED in the wrong state. This is not just speculation, but actually happened to me with an embedded system that has an LED which should turn off when the kernel finishes booting, which was left in the incorrect state due to a bug in the OF LED binding code. We also let GPIO LEDs get their initial value from whatever the current state of the GPIO line is. On some systems the LEDs are put into some state by the firmware or hardware before Linux boots, and it is desired to have them keep this state which is otherwise unknown to Linux. This requires that the underlying GPIO driver support reading the value of output GPIOs. Some drivers support this and some do not. The platform device binding gains a field in the platform data "default_state" that controls this. There are three constants defined to select from on, off, or keeping the current state. The OpenFirmware binding uses a property named "default-state" that can be set to "on", "off", or "keep". The default if the property isn't present is off.

The DIM modes are used to set _blink_ patterns for leds, the pattern is specified supplying two parameters: - period: from 0s to 1.6s - duty cycle: percentage of the period the led is on, from 0 to 100 LP3944 can be found on Motorola A910 smartphone, where it drives the rgb leds, the camera flash light and the displays backlights.
