* PCI Hotplug: schedule fakephp for feature removalAlex Chiang2009-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | Now that the PCI core is capable of function-level remove and rescan as well as bus-level rescan, there's no functional need to keep fakephp anymore. We keep it around for userspace compatibility reasons, schedule removal in three years. Signed-off-by: Alex Chiang <achiang@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org>
* PCI: Introduce /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../rescanAlex Chiang2009-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | This interface allows the user to force a rescan of the device's parent bus and all subordinate buses, and rediscover devices removed earlier from this part of the device tree.

* PCI: Introduce /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../removeAlex Chiang2009-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds an attribute named "remove" to a PCI device's sysfs directory. Writing a non-zero value to this attribute will remove the PCI device and any children of it. Trent Piepho wrote the original implementation and documentation. Thanks to Vegard Nossum for testing under kmemcheck and finding locking issues with the sysfs interface.

* PCI: allow assignment of memory resources with a specified alignmentYuji Shimada2009-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows memory resources to be assigned with a specified alignment at boot-time or run-time. The patch is useful when we use PCI pass-through, because page-aligned memory resources are required to securely share PCI resources with guest drivers. If you want to assign the resource at boot time, please set "pci=resource_alignment=" boot parameter. This is format of "pci=resource_alignment=" boot parameter: [<order of align>@][<domain>:]<bus>:<slot>.<func>[; ...] Specifies alignment and device to reassign aligned memory resources. If <order of align> is not specified, PAGE_SIZE is used as alignment. PCI-PCI bridge can be specified, if resource windows need to be expanded. This is example: pci=resource_alignment=20@07:00.0;18@0f:00.0;00:1d.7 If you want to assign the resource at run-time, please set "/sys/bus/pci/resource_alignment" file, and hot-remove the device and hot-add the device. For this purpose, fakephp or PCI hotplug interfaces can be used. The format of "/sys/bus/pci/resource_alignment" file is the same with boot parameter. You can use "," instead of ";". For example: # cd /sys/bus/pci # echo -n 20@12:00.0 > resource_alignment # echo 1 > devices/0000:12:00.0/remove # echo 1 > rescan Reviewed-by: Alex Chiang <achiang@hp.com> Reviewed-by: Yu Zhao <yu.zhao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Yuji Shimada <shimada-yxb@necst.nec.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: prevents confusing the user when buffer size is inadequate The tracing framework offers a resizeable buffer, which mmiotrace uses to record events. If the buffer is full, the following events will be lost. Events should not be lost, so the documentation instructs the user to increase the buffer size. The buffer size is set via a debugfs file. Mmiotrace documentation was not updated the same time the debugfs file was changed. The old file was tracing/trace_entries and first contained the number of entries the buffer had space for, per cpu. Nowadays this file is replaced with the file tracing/buffer_size_kb, which tells the amount of memory reserved for the buffer, per cpu, in kilobytes. Previously, a flag had to be toggled via the debugfs file tracing/tracing_enabled when the buffer size was changed. This is no longer necessary. The mmiotrace documentation is updated to reflect the current state of the tracing framework.

There's a number of filesystem corruption incidents reported: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=479996 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12578 Provide a Kconfig option to change whether it is enabled by default. If disabled, it can still be reenabled by passing intel_iommu=on to the kernel. Keep the .config option off by default.
