2010-11-18spi: davinci: let DMA operation be specified on per-device basisBrian Niebuhr
Let DMA operation be specified on a per-device basis instead of selecting it once during probe. A side effect of this is the need to combine the PIO and DMA buffer txrx_bufs routine. This is good since they anyway share some common functionality.

2010-11-18spi: davinci: remove usage of additional completion variables for DMABrian Niebuhr
The DMA code does not use the existing completion variable 'done' which is being used for interrupt mode transfers. Instead it uses two different completion variables specific to DMA mode transfers. Eliminate the usage of new completion variables for DMA mode and use the existing completion variable.

2010-11-18spi: davinci: fix EDMA CC errors at end of transfersBrian Niebuhr
Use a dummy param slot linked to itself to take care of the extra "sync event" that gets sent to EDMA controller after the last byte has been transferred. The dummy PaRAM slot that is linked to the actual DMA PaRAM slot "absorbs" this event and prevents a EDMA CC error to be asserted. Without this provision, the EDMA CC error would be asserted because the channel PaRAM would be empty after the transfer and EDMA would not know what to make out of the extra sync event.

2010-11-18spi: davinci: do not allocate DMA channels during SPI device setupSekhar Nori
Do not allocate (and de-allocate) SPI DMA channels during setup (and cleanup) for each SPI device. Instead, allocate the DMA channels once duing probe and use them for the life time of the driver. This makes sense since there are dedicated DMA channels meant for SPI use. This also helps remove the unnecessary DMA "sync_dev" variables being used to store DMA channel information. Also, the "use_dma" platform variable is now eliminated since it is possible to check if the platform supports DMA or not based upon whether DMA resources can be found or not.

2010-11-18spi: davinci: fix DMA event generation stoppageBrian Niebuhr
Do not stop SPI DMA event generation in either transmit or receive DMA event call back because the single setting affects both transmit and receive event generation. Depending on the order in which the callbacks happen, transmit or receive events can get unintentionally stalled. Instead, disable event generation once after both the transmit and receive DMA completes. While at it, remove the largely under-used function to set or clear DMA event generation.

2010-11-18spi: davinci: always start receive DMABrian Niebuhr
In keeping with the full duplex nature of the SPI bus. Always start receive DMA along with transmit DMA. If there is no receive buffer provided with the transfer, use a temporary buffer to receive the data to be thrown away.

2010-11-18spi: davinci: always start transmit DMABrian Niebuhr
Due to the full duplex nature of the SPI bus, the SPI master on DaVinci needs transmit to be active even if the tranfer is only meant to collect receive data. The current code achieves this by using a temporary zeroed buffer to provide DMA data in case the transfer does not have a transmit buffer provided. However, the transmit DMA is started only if transmit buffer is provided rendering the temporary buffer unused. Instead the code relies on a write to SPIDAT1 register to trigger transmit operation. This however only sends two bytes of data. Fix this by starting transmit DMA always. This changes exposes a bug on DM355 where the CSHOLD bit in SPIDAT1 needs to be written to in between transfers. Handle that by introducing a "cshold_bug" platform data which is set to true for DM355.

2010-11-17Fix build failure due to hwirq.h needing smp_lock.hLinus Torvalds
Arnd Bergmann did an automated scripting run to find left-over instances of <linux/smp_lock.h>, and had made it trigger it on the normal BKL use of lock_kernel and unlock_lernel (and apparently release_kernel_lock and reacquire_kernel_lock too, used by the scheduler). That resulted in commit 451a3c24b013 ("BKL: remove extraneous #include <smp_lock.h>"). However, hardirq.h was the only remaining user of the old 'kernel_locked()' interface, and Arnd's script hadn't checked for that. So depending on your configuration and what header files had been included, you would get errors like "implicit declaration of function 'kernel_locked'" during the build. The right fix is not to just re-instate the smp_lock.h include - it is to just remove 'kernel_locked()' entirely, since the only use was this one special low-level detail. Just make hardirq.h do it directly. In fact this simplifies and clarifies the code, because some trivial analysis makes it clear that hardirq.h only ever used _one_ of the two definitions of kernel_locked(), so we can remove the other one entirely.

2010-11-16kernel: make /proc/kallsyms mode 400 to reduce ease of attackingMarcus Meissner
Making /proc/kallsyms readable only for root by default makes it slightly harder for attackers to write generic kernel exploits by removing one source of knowledge where things are in the kernel. This is the second submit, discussion happened on this on first submit and mostly concerned that this is just one hole of the sieve ... but one of the bigger ones. Changing the permissions of at least System.map and vmlinux is also required to fix the same set, but a packaging issue. Target of this starter patch and follow ups is removing any kind of kernel space address information leak from the kernel. [ Side note: the default of root-only reading is the "safe" value, and it's easy enough to then override at any time after boot. The /proc filesystem allows root to change the permissions with a regular chmod, so you can "revert" this at run-time by simply doing chmod og+r /proc/kallsyms as root if you really want regular users to see the kernel symbols. It does help some tools like "perf" figure them out without any setup, so it may well make sense in some situations. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Marcus Meissner <meissner@suse.de> Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Eugene Teo <eugeneteo@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Jesper Juhl <jj@chaosbits.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
