* [PATCH] DMI: Decode and save OEM String informationShem Multinymous2006-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This teaches dmi_decode() how to decode and save OEM Strings (type 11) DMI information, which is currently discarded silently. Existing code using DMI is not affected. Follows the "System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) Specification" (http://www.dmtf.org/standards/smbios), and also the userspace dmidecode.c code. OEM Strings are the only safe way to identify some hardware, e.g., the ThinkPad embedded controller used by the soon-to-be-submitted tp_smapi driver. This will also let us eliminate the long whitelist in the mainline hdaps driver (in a future patch).

* [PATCH] DMI: move dmi_scan.c from arch/i386 to drivers/firmware/Bjorn Helgaas2006-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | dmi_scan.c is arch-independent and is used by i386, x86_64, and ia64. Currently all three arches compile it from arch/i386, which means that ia64 and x86_64 depend on things in arch/i386 that they wouldn't otherwise care about. This is simply "mv arch/i386/kernel/dmi_scan.c drivers/firmware/" (removing trailing whitespace) and the associated Makefile changes. All three architectures already set CONFIG_DMI in their top-level Kconfig files.

* [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changesAlan Stern2006-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2 We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage classes: "Blocking" chains are always called from a process context and the callout routines are allowed to sleep; "Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and the callout routines are not allowed to sleep. We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in kernel/sys.c. With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to handle these things in their own way.) There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code had to be changed to avoid it.) Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much less frequent that calling a chain. Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder. ATOMIC CHAINS ------------- arch/i386/kernel/traps.c: i386die_chain arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c: ia64die_chain arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c: powerpc_die_chain arch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c: sparc64die_chain arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c: die_chain drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c: xaction_notifier_list kernel/panic.c: panic_notifier_list kernel/profile.c: task_free_notifier net/bluetooth/hci_core.c: hci_notifier net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c: ip_conntrack_chain net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c: ip_conntrack_expect_chain net/ipv6/addrconf.c: inet6addr_chain net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_chain net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_expect_chain net/netlink/af_netlink.c: netlink_chain BLOCKING CHAINS --------------- arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c: pSeries_reconfig_chain arch/s390/kernel/process.c: idle_chain arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c idle_notifier drivers/base/memory.c: memory_chain drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_policy_notifier_list drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_transition_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/adb.c: adb_client_list drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c sleep_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c sleep_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c wf_client_list drivers/usb/core/notify.c usb_notifier_list drivers/video/fbmem.c fb_notifier_list kernel/cpu.c cpu_chain kernel/module.c module_notify_list kernel/profile.c munmap_notifier kernel/profile.c task_exit_notifier kernel/sys.c reboot_notifier_list net/core/dev.c netdev_chain net/decnet/dn_dev.c: dnaddr_chain net/ipv4/devinet.c: inetaddr_chain It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are, please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems. (However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be atomic.)

* [PATCH] EFI: keep physical table addresses in efi structureBjorn Helgaas2006-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Almost all users of the table addresses from the EFI system table want physical addresses. So rather than doing the pa->va->pa conversion, just keep physical addresses in struct efi. This fixes a DMI bug: the efi structure contained the physical SMBIOS address on x86 but the virtual address on ia64, so dmi_scan_machine() used ioremap() on a virtual address on ia64. This is essentially the same as an earlier patch by Matt Tolentino: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112130292316281&w=2 except that this changes all table addresses, not just ACPI addresses. Matt's original patch was backed out because it caused MCAs on HP sx1000 systems. That problem is resolved by the ioremap() attribute checking added for ia64.

* [PATCH] dell_rbu: fix Bug 5854Abhay Salunke2006-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5854 Root cause: The dell_rbu driver creates entries in /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/ by calling request_firmware_nowait (without hotplug ) this function inturn starts a kernel thread which creates the entries in /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading , data and the thread waits on the user action to return control back to the callback fucntion of dell_rbu. The thread calls wait_on_completion which puts it in a D state until the user action happens. If there is no user action happening the load average goes up as the thread D state is taken in to account. Also after downloading the BIOS image the enrties go away momentarily but they are recreated from the callback function in dell_rbu. This causes the thread to get recreated causing the load average to permenently stay around 1. Fix: The dell_rbu also creates the entry /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/image_type at driver load time. The image type by default is mono if required the user can echo packet to image_type to make the BIOS update mechanism using packets. Also by echoing init in to image_type the /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu entries can be created. The driver code was changed to not create /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu entries during load time, and also to not create the above entries from the callback function. The entries are only created by echoing init to /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/image_type The user now needs to create the entries to download the image monolithic or packet. This fixes the issue since the kernel thread only is created when ever the user is ready to download the BIOS image; this minimizes the life span of the kernel thread and the load average goes back to normal.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch has the changes to support the memory floor fix done in Dell BIOS. The BIOS incase of packet update mechanism would not accept packet placed in memory below a cretain address. This address is by default 128K but can change. The driver now can accept the memory floor if the user chooses to make it will try to allocate contiguous physical memory above the memory floor by allocating a set of packets till a valid memory allocation is made. All the allocates then are freed. This repeats for everty packet.

* [PATCH] dell_rbu: changes in packet update mechanismAbhay Salunke2005-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the current dell_rbu code ver 2.0 the packet update mechanism makes the user app dump every individual packet in to the driver. This adds in efficiency as every packet update makes the /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading and data files to disappear and reappear again. Thus the user app needs to wait for the files to reappear to dump another packet. This slows down the packet update tremendously in case of large number of packets. I am submitting a new patch for dell_rbu which will change the way we do packet updates; In the new method the user app will create a new single file which has already packetized the rbu image and all the packets are now staged in this file. This driver also creates a new entry in /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/packet_size ; the user needs to echo the packet size here before downloading the packet file. The user should do the following: create one single file which has all the packets stacked together. echo the packet size in to /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/packet_size. echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading cat the packetfile > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/data echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading The driver takes the file which came through /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/data and takes chunks of paket_size data from it and place in contiguous memory. This makes packet update process very efficient and fast. As all the packet update happens in one single operation. The user can still read back the downloaded file from /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/data.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
