2012-03-21Merge branch 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-securityLinus Torvalds4-0/+75
Pull security subsystem updates for 3.4 from James Morris: "The main addition here is the new Yama security module from Kees Cook, which was discussed at the Linux Security Summit last year. Its purpose is to collect miscellaneous DAC security enhancements in one place. This also marks a departure in policy for LSM modules, which were previously limited to being standalone access control systems. Chromium OS is using Yama, and I believe there are plans for Ubuntu, at least. This patchset also includes maintenance updates for AppArmor, TOMOYO and others." Fix trivial conflict in <net/sock.h> due to the jumo_label->static_key rename. * 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security: (38 commits) AppArmor: Fix location of const qualifier on generated string tables TOMOYO: Return error if fails to delete a domain AppArmor: add const qualifiers to string arrays AppArmor: Add ability to load extended policy TOMOYO: Return appropriate value to poll(). AppArmor: Move path failure information into aa_get_name and rename AppArmor: Update dfa matching routines.

Pull regulator updates for 3.4 from Mark Brown: "This has been a fairly quiet release from a regulator point of view, the only real framework features added were devm support and a convenience helper for setting up fixed voltage regulators.

2012-03-21Merge tag 'irqdomain-for-linus' of git://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux-2.6Linus Torvalds1-0/+117
Pull irq_domain support for all architectures from Grant Likely: "Generialize powerpc's irq_host as irq_domain This branch takes the PowerPC irq_host infrastructure (reverse mapping from Linux IRQ numbers to hardware irq numbering), generalizes it, renames it to irq_domain, and makes it available to all architectures. Originally the plan has been to create an all-new irq_domain implementation which addresses some of the powerpc shortcomings such as not handling 1:1 mappings well, but doing that proved to be far more difficult and invasive than generalizing the working code and refactoring it in-place. So, this branch rips out the 'new' irq_domain and replaces it with the modified powerpc version (in a fully bisectable way of course). It converts all users over to the new API and makes irq_domain selectable on any architecture. No architecture is forced to enable irq_domain, but the infrastructure is required for doing OpenFirmware style irq translations. It will even work on SPARC even though SPARC has it's own mechanism for translating irqs at boot time. MIPS, microblaze, embedded x86 and c6x are converted too. The resulting irq_domain code is probably still too verbose and can be optimized more, but that can be done incrementally and is a task for follow-on patches." * tag 'irqdomain-for-linus' of git://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux-2.6: (31 commits) dt: fix twl4030 for non-dt compile on x86 mfd: twl-core: Add IRQ_DOMAIN dependency devicetree: Add empty of_platform_populate() for !CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS (sparc) irq_domain: Centralize definition of irq_dispose_mapping() irq_domain/mips: Allow irq_domain on MIPS irq_domain/x86: Convert x86 (embedded) to use common irq_domain ppc-6xx: fix build failure in flipper-pic.c and hlwd-pic.c irq_domain/microblaze: Convert microblaze to use irq_domains irq_domain/powerpc: Replace custom xlate functions with library functions irq_domain/powerpc: constify irq_domain_ops irq_domain/c6x: Use library of xlate functions irq_domain/c6x: constify irq_domain structures irq_domain/c6x: Convert c6x to use generic irq_domain support. irq_domain: constify irq_domain_ops irq_domain: Create common xlate functions that device drivers can use irq_domain: Remove irq_domain_add_simple() irq_domain: Remove 'new' irq_domain in favour of the ppc one mfd: twl-core.c: Fix the number of interrupts managed by twl4030 of/address: add empty static inlines for !CONFIG_OF irq_domain: Add support for base irq and hwirq in legacy mappings ...

Pull perf events changes for v3.4 from Ingo Molnar: - New "hardware based branch profiling" feature both on the kernel and the tooling side, on CPUs that support it. (modern x86 Intel CPUs with the 'LBR' hardware feature currently.) This new feature is basically a sophisticated 'magnifying glass' for branch execution - something that is pretty difficult to extract from regular, function histogram centric profiles. The simplest mode is activated via 'perf record -b', and the result looks like this in perf report: $ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy $ perf report -b --sort=symbol 52.34% [.] main [.] f1 24.04% [.] f1 [.] f3 23.60% [.] f1 [.] f2 0.01% [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn [k] _IO_file_overflow 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] strchrnul 0.01% [k] __printf [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal 0.01% [k] main [k] __printf This output shows from/to branch columns and shows the highest percentage (from,to) jump combinations - i.e. the most likely taken branches in the system. "branches" can also include function calls and any other synchronous and asynchronous transitions of the instruction pointer that are not 'next instruction' - such as system calls, traps, interrupts, etc. This feature comes with (hopefully intuitive) flat ascii and TUI support in perf report. - Various 'perf annotate' visual improvements for us assembly junkies. It will now recognize function calls in the TUI and by hitting enter you can follow the call (recursively) and back, amongst other improvements. - Multiple threads/processes recording support in perf record, perf stat, perf top - which is activated via a comma-list of PIDs: perf top -p 21483,21485 perf stat -p 21483,21485 -ddd perf record -p 21483,21485 - Support for per UID views, via the --uid paramter to perf top, perf report, etc. For example 'perf top --uid mingo' will only show the tasks that I am running, excluding other users, root, etc. - Jump label restructurings and improvements - this includes the factoring out of the (hopefully much clearer) include/linux/static_key.h generic facility: struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE; ... if (static_key_false(&key)) do unlikely code else do likely code ... static_key_slow_inc(); ... static_key_slow_inc(); ... The static_key_false() branch will be generated into the code with as little impact to the likely code path as possible. the static_key_slow_*() APIs flip the branch via live kernel code patching. This facility can now be used more widely within the kernel to micro-optimize hot branches whose likelihood matches the static-key usage and fast/slow cost patterns. - SW function tracer improvements: perf support and filtering support. - Various hardenings of the perf.data ABI, to make older perf.data's smoother on newer tool versions, to make new features integrate more smoothly, to support cross-endian recording/analyzing workflows better, etc. - Restructuring of the kprobes code, the splitting out of 'optprobes', and a corner case bugfix. - Allow the tracing of kernel console output (printk). - Improvements/fixes to user-space RDPMC support, allowing user-space self-profiling code to extract PMU counts without performing any system calls, while playing nice with the kernel side. - 'perf bench' improvements - ... and lots of internal restructurings, cleanups and fixes that made these features possible.

2012-03-20hwmon: (sch56xx) Add support for the integrated watchdog (v2)Hans de Goede2-0/+8
Add support for the watchdog integrated into the SMSC SCH5627 and SCH5636 superio-s. Since the watchdog is part of the hwmon logical device and thus shares ioports with it, the watchdog driver is integrated into the existing hwmon drivers for these. Note that this version of the watchdog support for sch56xx superio-s implements the watchdog chardev interface itself, rather then relying on the recently added watchdog core / watchdog_dev. This is done because currently some needed functionality is missing from watchdog_dev, as soon as this functionality is added (which is being discussed on the linux-watchdog mailinglist), I'll convert this driver over to using watchdog_dev.

2012-03-13PM / QoS: Make it possible to expose PM QoS latency constraintsRafael J. Wysocki1-0/+18
A runtime suspend of a device (e.g. an MMC controller) belonging to a power domain or, in a more complicated scenario, a runtime suspend of another device in the same power domain, may cause power to be removed from the entire domain. In that case, the amount of time necessary to runtime-resume the given device (e.g. the MMC controller) is often substantially greater than the time needed to run its driver's runtime resume callback. That may hurt performance in some situations, because user data may need to wait for the device to become operational, so we should make it possible to prevent that from happening. For this reason, introduce a new sysfs attribute for devices, power/pm_qos_resume_latency_us, allowing user space to specify the upper bound of the time necessary to bring the (runtime-suspended) device up after the resume of it has been requested. However, make that attribute appear only for the devices whose drivers declare support for it by calling the (new) dev_pm_qos_expose_latency_limit() helper function with the appropriate initial value of the attribute.
