2009-04-28Input: add detailed multi-touch finger data report protocolHenrik Rydberg1-0/+23
In order to utilize the full power of the new multi-touch devices, a way to report detailed finger data to user space is needed. This patch adds a multi-touch (MT) protocol which allows drivers to report details for an arbitrary number of fingers. The driver sends a SYN_MT_REPORT event via the input_mt_sync() function when a complete finger has been reported. In order to stay compatible with existing applications, the data reported in a finger packet must not be recognized as single-touch events. In addition, all finger data must bypass input filtering, since subsequent events of the same type refer to different fingers. A set of ABS_MT events with the desired properties are defined. The events are divided into categories, to allow for partial implementation. The minimum set consists of ABS_MT_TOUCH_MAJOR, ABS_MT_POSITION_X and ABS_MT_POSITION_Y, which allows for multiple fingers to be tracked. If the device supports it, the ABS_MT_WIDTH_MAJOR may be used to provide the size of the approaching finger. Anisotropy and direction may be specified with ABS_MT_TOUCH_MINOR, ABS_MT_WIDTH_MINOR and ABS_MT_ORIENTATION. Devices with more granular information may specify general shapes as blobs, i.e., as a sequence of rectangular shapes grouped together by a ABS_MT_BLOB_ID. Finally, the ABS_MT_TOOL_TYPE may be used to specify whether the touching tool is a finger or a pen. Signed-off-by: Henrik Rydberg <rydberg@euromail.se> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>
2009-04-28Input: bcm5974 - add quad-finger tappingHenrik Rydberg1-0/+1
The integrated button on the new unibody Macbooks presents a need to report explicit four-finger actions. Evidently, the finger pressing the button is also touching the trackpad, so in order to fully support three-finger actions, the driver must be able to report four-finger actions. This patch adds a new button, BTN_TOOL_QUADTAP, which achieves this. Signed-off-by: Henrik Rydberg <rydberg@euromail.se> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>
2009-04-28net: Avoid extra wakeups of threads blocked in wait_for_packet()Eric Dumazet1-2/+4
In 2.6.25 we added UDP mem accounting. This unfortunatly added a penalty when a frame is transmitted, since we have at TX completion time to call sock_wfree() to perform necessary memory accounting. This calls sock_def_write_space() and utimately scheduler if any thread is waiting on the socket. Thread(s) waiting for an incoming frame was scheduled, then had to sleep again as event was meaningless. (All threads waiting on a socket are using same sk_sleep anchor) This adds lot of extra wakeups and increases latencies, as noted by Christoph Lameter, and slows down softirq handler. Reference : http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=124060437012283&w=2 Fortunatly, Davide Libenzi recently added concept of keyed wakeups into kernel, and particularly for sockets (see commit 37e5540b3c9d838eb20f2ca8ea2eb8072271e403 epoll keyed wakeups: make sockets use keyed wakeups) Davide goal was to optimize epoll, but this new wakeup infrastructure can help non epoll users as well, if they care to setup an appropriate handler. This patch introduces new DEFINE_WAIT_FUNC() helper and uses it in wait_for_packet(), so that only relevant event can wakeup a thread blocked in this function. Trace of function calls from bnx2 TX completion bnx2_poll_work() is : __kfree_skb() skb_release_head_state() sock_wfree() sock_def_write_space() __wake_up_sync_key() __wake_up_common() receiver_wake_function() : Stops here since thread is waiting for an INPUT Reported-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-04-26Add new HEAD_TEXT_SECTION macro.Tim Abbott2-1/+9
This patch is preparation for replacing all uses of ".head.text" or ".text.head" in the kernel with macros, so that the section name can later be changed without having to touch a lot of the kernel. Since some linker scripts do more complex things than referencing HEAD_TEXT, we add a HEAD_TEXT_SECTION macro that just contains the actual name. I've defined HEAD_TEXT_SECTION in a new header, include/linux/section-names.h, so that this section name only needs to appear in one place. I anticipate creating similar macro structures for a number of other section names. The long-term goal here is to be able to change the kernel's magic section names to those that are compatible with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections. This requires renaming all magic sections with names of the form ".text.foo". Signed-off-by: Tim Abbott <tabbott@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-04-24tracing/events: reuse trace event ids after overflowSteven Rostedt1-0/+1
With modules being able to add trace events, and the max trace event counter is 16 bits (65536) we can overflow the counter easily with a simple while loop adding and removing modules that contain trace events. This patch links together the registered trace events and on overflow searches for available trace event ids. It will still fail if over 65536 events are registered, but considering that a typical kernel only has 22000 functions, 65000 events should be sufficient.

2009-04-23tracing: increase size of number of possible eventsSteven Rostedt1-1/+4
With the new event tracing registration, we must increase the number of events that can be registered. Currently the type field is only one byte, which leaves us only 256 possible events. Since we do not save the CPU number in the tracer anymore (it is determined by the per cpu ring buffer that is used) we have an extra byte to use.

2009-04-21driver synchronization: make scsi_wait_scan more advancedArjan van de Ven1-0/+1
There is currently only one way for userspace to say "wait for my storage device to get ready for the modules I just loaded": to load the scsi_wait_scan module. Expectations of userspace are that once this module is loaded, all the (storage) devices for which the drivers were loaded before the module load are present. Now, there are some issues with the implementation, and the async stuff got caught in the middle of this: The existing code only waits for the scsy async probing to finish, but it did not take into account at all that probing might not have begun yet. (Russell ran into this problem on his computer and the fix works for him) This patch fixes this more thoroughly than the previous "fix", which had some bad side effects (namely, for kernel code that wanted to wait for the scsi scan it would also do an async sync, which would deadlock if you did it from async context already.. there's a report about that on lkml): The patch makes the module first wait for all device driver probes, and then it will wait for the scsi parallel scan to finish.

2009-04-21FRV: Fix the section attribute on UP DECLARE_PER_CPU()David Howells1-24/+0
In non-SMP mode, the variable section attribute specified by DECLARE_PER_CPU() does not agree with that specified by DEFINE_PER_CPU(). This means that architectures that have a small data section references relative to a base register may throw up linkage errors due to too great a displacement between where the base register points and the per-CPU variable. On FRV, the .h declaration says that the variable is in the .sdata section, but the .c definition says it's actually in the .data section. The linker throws up the following errors: kernel/built-in.o: In function `release_task': kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o To fix this, DECLARE_PER_CPU() should simply apply the same section attribute as does DEFINE_PER_CPU(). However, this is made slightly more complex by virtue of the fact that there are several variants on DEFINE, so these need to be matched by variants on DECLARE.

2009-04-21ipmi: test for event buffer before usingCorey Minyard1-0/+6
The IPMI driver would attempt to use the event buffer even if that didn't exist on the BMC. This patch modified the IPMI driver to check for the event buffer's existence before trying to use it.

2009-04-21clocksource: add enable() and disable() callbacksMagnus Damm1-0/+31
Add enable() and disable() callbacks for clocksources. This allows us to put unused clocksources in power save mode. The functions clocksource_enable() and clocksource_disable() wrap the callbacks and are inserted in the timekeeping code to enable before use and disable after switching to a new clocksource.
