2015-04-15zram: deprecate zram attrs sysfs nodesSergey Senozhatsky1-0/+119
Add Documentation/ABI/obsolete/sysfs-block-zram file and list obsolete and deprecated attributes there. The patch also adds additional information to zram documentation and describes the basic strategy: - the existing RW nodes will be downgraded to WO nodes (in 4.11) - deprecated RO sysfs nodes will eventually be removed (in 4.11) Users will be additionally notified about deprecated attr usage by pr_warn_once() (added to every deprecated attr _show()), as suggested by Minchan Kim. User space is advised to use zram<id>/stat, zram<id>/io_stat and zram<id>/mm_stat files.

2015-04-15zram: remove `num_migrated' device attrSergey Senozhatsky1-7/+0
This patch introduces rework to zram stats. We have per-stat sysfs nodes, and it makes things a bit hard to use in user space: it doesn't give an immediate stats 'snapshot', it requires user space to use more syscalls - open, read, close for every stat file, with appropriate error checks on every step, etc. First, zram now accounts block layer statistics, available in /sys/block/zram<id>/stat and /proc/diskstats files. So some new stats are available (see Documentation/block/stat.txt), besides, zram's activities now can be monitored by sysstat's iostat or similar tools. Example: cat /sys/block/zram0/stat 248 0 1984 0 251029 0 2008232 5120 0 5116 5116 Second, group currently exported on per-stat basis nodes into two categories (files): -- zram<id>/io_stat accumulates device's IO stats, that are not accounted by block layer, and contains: failed_reads failed_writes invalid_io notify_free Example: cat /sys/block/zram0/io_stat 0 0 0 652572 -- zram<id>/mm_stat accumulates zram mm stats and contains: orig_data_size compr_data_size mem_used_total mem_limit mem_used_max zero_pages num_migrated Example: cat /sys/block/zram0/mm_stat 434634752 270288572 279158784 0 579895296 15060 0 per-stat sysfs nodes are now considered to be deprecated and we plan to remove them (and clean up some of the existing stat code) in two years (as of now, there is no warning printed to syslog about deprecated stats being used). User space is advised to use the above mentioned 3 files. This patch (of 7): Remove sysfs `num_migrated' attribute. We are moving away from per-stat device attrs towards 3 stat files that will accumulate io and mm stats in a format similar to block layer statistics in /sys/block/<dev>/stat. That will be easier to use in user space, and reduce the number of syscalls needed to read zram device statistics. `num_migrated' will return back in zram<id>/mm_stat file.

2015-03-29iio: add support for hardware fifoOctavian Purdila1-0/+69
Some devices have hardware buffers that can store a number of samples for later consumption. Hardware usually provides interrupts to notify the processor when the FIFO is full or when it has reached a certain watermark level. This helps with reducing the number of interrupts to the host processor and thus it helps decreasing the power consumption. This patch enables usage of hardware FIFOs for IIO devices in conjunction with software device buffers. When the hardware FIFO is enabled the samples are stored in the hardware FIFO. The samples are later flushed to the device software buffer when the number of entries in the hardware FIFO reaches the hardware watermark or when a flush operation is triggered by the user when doing a non-blocking read on an empty software device buffer. In order to implement hardware FIFO support the device drivers must implement the following new operations: setting and getting the hardware FIFO watermark level, flushing the hardware FIFO to the software device buffer. The device must also expose information about the hardware FIFO such it's minimum and maximum watermark and if necessary a list of supported watermark values. Finally, the device driver must activate the hardware FIFO when the device buffer is enabled, if the current device settings allows it. The software device buffer watermark is passed by the IIO core to the device driver as a hint for the hardware FIFO watermark. The device driver can adjust this value to allow for hardware limitations (such as capping it to the maximum hardware watermark or adjust it to a value that is supported by the hardware). It can also disable the hardware watermark (and implicitly the hardware FIFO) it this value is below the minimum hardware watermark. Since a driver may support hardware FIFO only when not in triggered buffer mode (due to different semantics of hardware FIFO sampling and triggered sampling) this patch changes the IIO core code to allow falling back to non-triggered buffered mode if no trigger is enabled.

2015-03-25drivers/core/of: Add symlink to device-tree from devices with an OF nodeBenjamin Herrenschmidt1-0/+10
So I've been annoyed lately with having a bunch of devices such as i2c eeproms (for use by VPDs, server world !) and other bits and pieces that I want to be able to identify from userspace, and possibly provide additional data about from FW. Basically, it boils down to correlating the sysfs device with the OF tree device node, so that user space can use device-tree info such as additional "location" or "label" (or whatever else we can come up with) propreties to identify a given device, or get some attributes of use about it, etc... Now, so far, we've done that in some subsystem in a fairly ad-hoc basis using "devspec" properties. For example, PCI creates them if it can correlate the probed device with a DT node. Some powerpc specific busses do that too. However, i2c doesn't and it would be nice to have something more generic since technically any device can have a corresponding device tree node. This patch adds an "of_node" symlink to devices that have a non-NULL dev->of_node pointer, the patch is pretty trivial and seems to work just fine for me.

Jonathan writes: First set of new drivers, cleanups and functionality for IIO in the 4.1 cycle. New drivers * CM3323 color sensor. * MS5611 pressure and temperature sensor. New functionality * mup6050 - create mux clients for devices described via ACPI. The reasoning and approach taken in this patch are complex. Basically there is no otherway of finding out what is there than by some esoteric look ups in the ACPI data. * cm3232 - PM support * itg3200 - suspend/resume support * mcp320x - add more ADCs to the kconfig to reflect what the driver supports (this patch and the bindings got left behind when the support was added a while back). Docs / utils * ti-adc128s052 - DT bindings. * mcp3422 - DT bindings. * mcp320x - DT bindings * ABI docs for event threshold scale attributes, in_magn_offset, proximity scan_element and thresh falling/rising values for accelerometers. All elements long in use that have slipped by being explicitly documented. * Tidy up the tools previously in drivers/staging/iio/Documentation and move them out to /tools/iio. Yet another move that should have happened long ago. This time Roberta Dobrescu did the leg work. Thanks! Core Cleanups * Export userspace IIO headers. We should have done the appropriate header splitting a long time ago. Thanks to Daniel for sorting this out. * Refactor the registring of attributes for buffers to move all non-custom ones to a vector allowing easier additions to the current set in the future. Driver Cleanups * gpiod related cleanups. Make use of the additional parameter to specify initial direciton to avoid extra code. * bmc150 - Various refactorings to reduce code repitition and prepare for hardware buffer support. Some of these cleanups are good even without the new functionality. * kmx61 - direct use of index to an array avoiding a structure element which was always the index to an element in an array of that structure. * vf610 - avoid incorrect type for return from wait_for_completion_timeout. * gp2ap020a00f - use put_unaligned_le32 for slight code simplification. * ade7754 - improve error handling including suppressing some build warnings. * ade7759 - improve error handling including suppressing some build warnings. * hmc5843 - Long line and indentation fixes. Also some constifying of various constant data. * ade7854 - 80+ character line splitting. * ad2s1210 - fix wrong printf format string. * mxs-lradc - fix wrong printf format string. * ade7954-i2c - code alignment fixes and other trivial but worthwhile bits. * periodic rtc trigger - make the frequency type an unsigned int as it is always treated as such. * jsa1212 - constify struct regmap_config as it is constant. * ad7793 - typo in the MODULE_DESCRIPTION * mma9551 - check gpiod_to_irq errors. Note that this doesn't actually cause any trouble but is worth tidying up as obviously incorrect. * mlx90614 - refactor the register symbols to make it clear which reads are to RAM not PROM.

This commit exposes in sysfs the HID country code that is stored in the country member of hid_device structure. It identifies the country code of localized hardware. For example some keyboards use it to exhibit the language of the key layout. It helps the upper layer to identify the localized hardware and setup the correct language to use. For USB HID devices the country code comes for the HID descriptor and for Bluetooth HID devices it is the HIDCountryCode attribute from the SDP database.

Pull live patching infrastructure from Jiri Kosina: "Let me provide a bit of history first, before describing what is in this pile. Originally, there was kSplice as a standalone project that implemented stop_machine()-based patching for the linux kernel. This project got later acquired, and the current owner is providing live patching as a proprietary service, without any intentions to have their implementation merged. Then, due to rising user/customer demand, both Red Hat and SUSE started working on their own implementation (not knowing about each other), and announced first versions roughly at the same time [1] [2]. The principle difference between the two solutions is how they are making sure that the patching is performed in a consistent way when it comes to different execution threads with respect to the semantic nature of the change that is being introduced. In a nutshell, kPatch is issuing stop_machine(), then looking at stacks of all existing processess, and if it decides that the system is in a state that can be patched safely, it proceeds insterting code redirection machinery to the patched functions. On the other hand, kGraft provides a per-thread consistency during one single pass of a process through the kernel and performs a lazy contignuous migration of threads from "unpatched" universe to the "patched" one at safe checkpoints. If interested in a more detailed discussion about the consistency models and its possible combinations, please see the thread that evolved around [3]. It pretty quickly became obvious to the interested parties that it's absolutely impractical in this case to have several isolated solutions for one task to co-exist in the kernel. During a dedicated Live Kernel Patching track at LPC in Dusseldorf, all the interested parties sat together and came up with a joint aproach that would work for both distro vendors. Steven Rostedt took notes [4] from this meeting. And the foundation for that aproach is what's present in this pull request. It provides a basic infrastructure for function "live patching" (i.e. code redirection), including API for kernel modules containing the actual patches, and API/ABI for userspace to be able to operate on the patches (look up what patches are applied, enable/disable them, etc). It's relatively simple and minimalistic, as it's making use of existing kernel infrastructure (namely ftrace) as much as possible. It's also self-contained, in a sense that it doesn't hook itself in any other kernel subsystem (it doesn't even touch any other code). It's now implemented for x86 only as a reference architecture, but support for powerpc, s390 and arm is already in the works (adding arch-specific support basically boils down to teaching ftrace about regs-saving). Once this common infrastructure gets merged, both Red Hat and SUSE have agreed to immediately start porting their current solutions on top of this, abandoning their out-of-tree code. The plan basically is that each patch will be marked by flag(s) that would indicate which consistency model it is willing to use (again, the details have been sketched out already in the thread at [3]). Before this happens, the current codebase can be used to patch a large group of secruity/stability problems the patches for which are not too complex (in a sense that they don't introduce non-trivial change of function's return value semantics, they don't change layout of data structures, etc) -- this corresponds to LEAVE_FUNCTION && SWITCH_FUNCTION semantics described at [3].

2015-02-06samsung-laptop: enable better lid handlingJulijonas Kikutis1-0/+8
Some Samsung laptops with SABI3 delay the sleep for 10 seconds after the lid is closed and do not wake up from sleep after the lid is opened. A SABI command is needed to enable the better behavior. Command = 0x6e, d0 = 0x81 enables this behavior. Returns d0 = 0x01. Command = 0x6e, d0 = 0x80 disables this behavior. Returns d0 = 0x00. Command = 0x6d and any d0 queries the state. This returns: d0 = 0x00000*01, d1 = 0x00, d2 = 0x00, d3 = 0x0* when it is enabled. d0 = 0x00000*00, d1 = 0x00, d2 = 0x00, d3 = 0x0* when it is disabled. Where * is 0 - laptop has never slept or hibernated after switch on, 1 - laptop has hibernated just before, 2 - laptop has slept just before. Patch addresses bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75901 . It adds a sysfs attribute lid_handling with a description and also an addition to the quirks structure to enable the mode by default. A user with another laptop in the bug report says that "power button has to be pressed twice to wake the machine" when he or she enabled the mode manually using the SABI command. Therefore, it is enabled by default only for the single laptop that I have tested. Signed-off-by: Julijonas Kikutis <julijonas.kikutis@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Darren Hart <dvhart@linux.intel.com>
2015-02-06cxl: Export optional AFU configuration record in sysfsIan Munsie1-0/+37
An AFU may optionally contain one or more PCIe like configuration records, which can be used to identify the AFU. This patch adds support for exposing the raw config space and the vendor, device and class code under sysfs. These will appear in a subdirectory of the AFU device corresponding with the configuration record number, e.g. cat /sys/class/cxl/afu0.0/cr0/vendor 0x1014 cat /sys/class/cxl/afu0.0/cr0/device 0x4350 cat /sys/class/cxl/afu0.0/cr0/class 0x120000 hexdump -C /sys/class/cxl/afu0.0/cr0/config 00000000 14 10 50 43 00 00 00 00 06 00 00 12 00 00 00 00 |..PC............| 00000010 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................| * 00000100 These files behave in much the same way as the equivalent files for PCI devices, with one exception being that the config file is currently read-only and restricted to the root user. It is not necessarily required to be this strict, but we currently do not have a compelling use-case to make it writable and/or world-readable, so I erred on the side of being restrictive.

Felipe writes: usb: patches for v3.20 merge window Here's the big pull request for Gadgets and PHYs. It's a total of 217 non-merge commits with pretty much everything being touched. The most important bits are a ton of new documentation for almost all usb gadget functions, a new isp1760 UDC driver, several improvements to the old net2280 UDC driver, and some minor tracepoint improvements to dwc3. Other than that, a big list of minor cleanups, smaller bugfixes and new features all over the place. Signed-off-by: Felipe Balbi <balbi@ti.com>
