2006-03-31[PATCH] Document Linux's memory barriers [try #7]David Howells1-0/+1913
The attached patch documents the Linux kernel's memory barriers. I've updated it from the comments I've been given. The per-arch notes sections are gone because it's clear that there are so many exceptions, that it's not worth having them. I've added a list of references to other documents. I've tried to get rid of the concept of memory accesses appearing on the bus; what matters is apparent behaviour with respect to other observers in the system. Interrupts barrier effects are now considered to be non-existent. They may be there, but you may not rely on them. I've added a couple of definition sections at the top of the document: one to specify the minimum execution model that may be assumed, the other to specify what this document refers to by the term "memory". I've made greater mention of the use of mmiowb(). I've adjusted the way in which caches are described, and described the fun that can be had with cache coherence maintenance being unordered and data dependency not being necessarily implicit. I've described (smp_)read_barrier_depends(). I've rearranged the order of the sections, so that memory barriers are discussed in abstract first, and then described the memory barrier facilities available on Linux, before going on to more real-world discussions and examples. I've added information about the lack of memory barriering effects with atomic ops and bitops. I've added information about control dependencies. I've added more diagrams to illustrate caching interactions between CPUs. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-03-31[PATCH] LED: class documentationRichard Purdie1-0/+71
The LED class/subsystem takes John Lenz's work and extends and alters it to give what I think should be a fairly universal LED implementation. The series consists of several logical units: * LED Core + Class implementation * LED Trigger Core implementation * LED timer trigger (example of a complex trigger) * LED device drivers for corgi, spitz and tosa Zaurus models * LED device driver for locomo LEDs * LED device driver for ARM ixp4xx LEDs * Zaurus charging LED trigger * IDE disk activity LED trigger * NAND MTD activity LED trigger Why? ==== LEDs are really simple devices usually amounting to a GPIO that can be turned on and off so why do we need all this code? On handheld or embedded devices they're an important part of an often limited user interface. Both users and developers want to be able to control and configure what the LED does and the number of different things they'd potentially want the LED to show is large. A subsystem is needed to try and provide all this different functionality in an architecture independent, simple but complete, generic and scalable manner. The alternative is for everyone to implement just what they need hidden away in different corners of the kernel source tree and to provide an inconsistent interface to userspace. Other Implementations ===================== I'm aware of the existing arm led implementation. Currently the new subsystem and the arm code can coexist quite happily. Its up to the arm community to decide whether this new interface is acceptable to them. As far as I can see, the new interface can do everything the existing arm implementation can with the advantage that the new code is architecture independent and much more generic, configurable and scalable. I'm prepared to make the conversion to the LED subsystem (or assist with it) if appropriate. Implementation Details ====================== I've stripped a lot of code out of John's original LED class. Colours were removed as LED colour is now part of the device name. Multiple colours are to be handled as multiple led devices. This means you get full control over each colour. I also removed the LED hardware timer code as the generic timer isn't going to add much overhead and is just as useful. I also decided to have the LED core track the current LED status (to ease suspend/resume handling) removing the need for brightness_get implementations in the LED drivers. An underlying design philosophy is simplicity. The aim is to keep a small amount of code giving as much functionality as possible. The major new idea is the led "trigger". A trigger is a source of led events. Triggers can either be simple or complex. A simple trigger isn't configurable and is designed to slot into existing subsystems with minimal additional code. Examples are the ide-disk, nand-disk and zaurus-charging triggers. With leds disabled, the code optimises away. Examples are nand-disk and ide-disk. Complex triggers whilst available to all LEDs have LED specific parameters and work on a per LED basis. The timer trigger is an example. You can change triggers in a similar manner to the way an IO scheduler is chosen (via /sys/class/leds/somedevice/trigger). So far there are only a handful of examples but it should easy to add further LED triggers without too much interference into other subsystems. Known Issues ============ The LED Trigger core cannot be a module as the simple trigger functions would cause nightmare dependency issues. I see this as a minor issue compared to the benefits the simple trigger functionality brings. The rest of the LED subsystem can be modular. Some leds can be programmed to flash in hardware. As this isn't a generic LED device property, I think this should be exported as a device specific sysfs attribute rather than part of the class if this functionality is required (eg. to keep the led flashing whilst the device is suspended). Future Development ================== At the moment, a trigger can't be created specifically for a single LED. There are a number of cases where a trigger might only be mappable to a particular LED. The addition of triggers provided by the LED driver should cover this option and be possible to add without breaking the current interface. A CPU activity trigger similar to that found in the arm led implementation should be trivial to add. This patch: Add some brief documentation of the design decisions behind the LED class and how it appears to users.

2006-03-31[ALSA] AdLib FM card driverRene Herman1-0/+28
Attached you'll find an ALSA driver for AdLib FM cards. An AdLib card is just an OPL2, which was already supported by sound/drivers/opl3, so only very minimal bus-glue is needed. The patch applies cleanly to both 2.6.16 and 2.6.16-mm1. The driver has been tested with an actual ancient 8-bit ISA AdLib card and works fine. It also works fine for an OPL3 {,emulation} as still found on many ISA soundcards but given that AdLib cards don't have their own mixer, upping the volume from 0 might be a problem without the card driver already loaded and driving the OPL3.

2006-03-29[PATCH] libata: Simplex and other mode filtering logicAlan Cox1-4/+43
Add a field to the host_set called 'flags' (was host_set_flags changed to suit Jeff) Add a simplex_claimed field so we can remember who owns the DMA channel Add a ->mode_filter() hook to allow drivers to filter modes Add docs for mode_filter and set_mode Filter according to simplex state Filter cable in core This provides the needed framework to support all the mode rules found in the PATA world. The simplex filter deals with 'to spec' simplex DMA systems found in older chips. The cable filter avoids duplicating the same rules in each chip driver with PATA. Finally the mode filter is neccessary because drive/chip combinations have errata that forbid certain modes with some drives or types of ATA object. Drive speed setup remains per channel for now and the filters now use the framework Tejun put into place which cleans them up a lot from the older libata-pata patches.

This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this, board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine. We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at _machine.
