2012-10-09exec: make de_thread() killableOleg Nesterov1-2/+14
Change de_thread() to use KILLABLE rather than UNINTERRUPTIBLE while waiting for other threads. The only complication is that we should clear ->group_exit_task and ->notify_count before we return, and we should do this under tasklist_lock. -EAGAIN is used to match the initial signal_group_exit() check/return, it doesn't really matter. This fixes the (unlikely) race with coredump. de_thread() checks signal_group_exit() before it starts to kill the subthreads, but this can't help if another CLONE_VM (but non CLONE_THREAD) task starts the coredumping after de_thread() unlocks ->siglock. In this case the killed sub-thread can block in exit_mm() waiting for coredump_finish(), execing thread waits for that sub-thead, and the coredumping thread waits for execing thread. Deadlock.

2012-10-08arm64: Enable interrupts before calling do_notify_resume()Catalin Marinas1-0/+1
task_work_run() implementation had the side effect of enabling interrupts.

2012-10-08arm64: Call swiotlb_init() instead of swiotlb_init_with_default_size()Catalin Marinas3-8/+4
Following commit 74838b7 (swiotlb: add the late swiotlb initialization function with iotlb memory) the swiotlb_init_with_default_size() is a static function. This patch changes the arm64 code to call swiotlb_init() instead and use the default size of 64MB. It is assumed that AArch64 platforms have enough RAM to afford the pre-allocated swiotlb memory. It also removes the #ifdef around this call since CONFIG_SWIOTLB is always enabled. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

2012-10-06ACPI: Add new sysfs interface to export device descriptionLance Ortiz3-2/+70
Add support to export the device description obtained from the ACPI _STR method, if one exists for a device, to user-space via a sysfs interface. This new interface provides a standard and platform neutral way for users to obtain the description text stored in the ACPI _STR method. If no _STR method exists for the device, no sysfs 'description' file will be created. The 'description' file will be located in the /sys/devices/ directory using the device's path. /sys/device/<bus>/<bridge path>/<device path>.../firmware_node/description Example: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00.07.0/0000:0e:00.0/firmware_node/description It can also be located using the ACPI device path, for example: /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/ACPI0004:00/PNP0A08:00/device:13/device:15/description /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/ACPI0004:00/ACPI0004:01/ACPI0007:02/description Execute the 'cat' command on the 'description' file to obtain the description string for that device. This patch also includes documentation describing how the new sysfs interface works Changes from v1-v2 based on comments by Len Brown and Fengguang Wu * Removed output "No Description" and leaving a NULL attribute if the _STR method failed to evaluate. * In acpi_device_remove_files() removed the redundent check of dev->pnp.str_obj before calling free.

2012-10-06ALSA: hda - Fix hang caused by race during suspend.Dylan Reid1-4/+6
There was a race condition when the system suspends while hda_power_work is running in the work queue. If system suspend (snd_hda_suspend) happens after the work queue releases power_lock but before it calls hda_call_codec_suspend, codec_suspend runs with power_on=0, causing the codec to power up for register reads, and hanging when it calls cancel_delayed_work_sync from the running work queue. The call chain from the work queue will look like this: hda_power_work <<- power_on = 1, unlock, then power_on cleard by suspend hda_call_codec_suspend hda_set_power_state snd_hda_codec_read codec_exec_verb snd_hda_power_up snd_hda_power_save __snd_hda_power_up cancel_delayed_work_sync <<-- cancelling executing wq Fix this by waiting for the work queue to finish before starting suspend if suspend is not happening on the work queue.

2012-10-05sparc64: Niagara-4 bzero/memset, plus use MRU stores in page copy.David S. Miller7-12/+176
This adds optimized memset/bzero/page-clear routines for Niagara-4. We basically can do what powerpc has been able to do for a decade (via the "dcbz" instruction), which is use cache line clearing stores for bzero and memsets with a 'c' argument of zero. As long as we make the cache initializing store to each 32-byte subblock of the L2 cache line, it works. As with other Niagara-4 optimized routines, the key is to make sure to avoid any usage of the %asi register, as reads and writes to it cost at least 50 cycles. For the user clear cases, we don't use these new routines, we use the Niagara-1 variants instead. Those have to use %asi in an unavoidable way. A Niagara-4 8K page clear costs just under 600 cycles. Add definitions of the MRU variants of the cache initializing store ASIs. By default, cache initializing stores install the line as Least Recently Used. If we know we're going to use the data immediately (which is true for page copies and clears) we can use the Most Recently Used variant, to decrease the likelyhood of the lines being evicted before they get used.

Now that i2c-mux-gpio is able to find the GPIO chip by itself, we can delegate this task. The great thing here is that i2c-mux-gpio can defer device probing until the gpio chip is available, so we no longer depend on the module loading order. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

2012-10-05i2c-mux-gpio: Add support for dynamically allocated GPIO pinsJean Delvare2-6/+35
The code instantiating an i2c-mux-gpio platform device doesn't necessarily know in advance the GPIO pin numbers it wants to use. If pins are on a GPIO device which gets its base GPIO number assigned dynamically at run-time, the values can't be hard-coded. In that case, let the caller tell i2c-mux-gpio the name of the GPIO chip and the (relative) GPIO pin numbers to use. At probe time, the i2c-mux-gpio driver will look for the chip and apply the proper offset to turn relative GPIO pin numbers to absolute GPIO pin numbers. The same could be (and was so far) done on the caller's end, however doing it in i2c-mux-gpio has two benefits: * It avoids duplicating the code on every caller's side (about 30 lines of code.) * It allows for deferred probing for the muxed part of the I2C bus only. If finding the GPIO chip is the caller's responsibility, then deferred probing (if the GPIO chip isn't there yet) will not only affect the mux and the I2C bus segments behind it, but also the I2C bus trunk.

2012-10-05i2c-i801: Support SMBus multiplexing on Asus Z8 seriesJean Delvare2-1/+214
Add support for SMBus multiplexing on Asus Z8 motherboard series. On these boards, the memory slots are behind a GPIO-controlled I2C multiplexer. Models with 6 or 12 memory slots have 2 segments behind the multiplexer, while models with 18 memory slots have 3 such segments. On these boards, only the memory slots are behind the multiplexer, so it is possible to keep the autodetection mechanism. The code is generic enough so it could work on other boards as long as the multiplexer is controlled by GPIO pins. For other forms of multiplexing (for example using an I2C device) additional code will be needed. Thanks to Asus for providing a board to develop and test this feature, as well as all the technical information required. At the moment, the GPIO driver must be loaded before the i2c-i801 driver, but I hope to solve this soon, using deferred probing on the i2c-mux-gpio side.

2012-10-06aoe: make dynamic block minor numbers the defaultEd Cashin1-1/+1
Because udev use is so widespread, making the old static mapping the default is too conservative, given the severe limitations it places on usable AoE addresses. Storage virtualization and larger shelves have made the old limitations too confining. These changes make the dynamic block device minor numbers the default, removing the limitations on usable AoE addresses. The static arrangement is still available with aoe_dyndevs=0, and the aoe-stat tool from the userland aoetools package, the user space counterpart to the aoe driver, recognizes the case where there is a mismatch between the minor number in sysfs and the minor number in a special device file.

The ATA over Ethernet protocol uses a major (shelf) and minor (slot) address to identify a particular storage target. These changes remove an artificial limitation the aoe driver imposes on the use of AoE addresses. For example, without these changes, the slot address has a maximum of 15, but users commonly use slot numbers much greater than that. The AoE shelf and slot address space is often used sparsely. Instead of using a static mapping between AoE addresses and the block device minor number, the block device minor numbers are now allocated on demand.
