2010-03-06gpio: introduce gpio_request_one() and friendsEric Miao
gpio_request() without initial configuration of the GPIO is normally useless, introduce gpio_request_one() together with GPIOF_ flags for input/output direction and initial output level. gpio_{request,free}_array() for multiple GPIOs.

2010-03-06lkdtm: add debugfs access and loosen KPROBE tiesSimon Kagstrom
Add adds a debugfs interface and additional failure modes to LKDTM to provide similar functionality to the provoke-crash driver submitted here: http://lwn.net/Articles/371208/ Crashes can now be induced either through module parameters (as before) or through the debugfs interface as in provoke-crash. The patch also provides a new "direct" interface, where KPROBES are not used, i.e., the crash is invoked directly upon write to the debugfs file. When built without KPROBES configured, only this mode is available. Signed-off-by: Simon Kagstrom <simon.kagstrom@netinsight.net> Cc: M.

2010-03-06mm: count swap usageKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
A frequent questions from users about memory management is what numbers of swap ents are user for processes. And this information will give some hints to oom-killer. Besides we can count the number of swapents per a process by scanning /proc/<pid>/smaps, this is very slow and not good for usual process information handler which works like 'ps' or 'top'. (ps or top is now enough slow..) This patch adds a counter of swapents to mm_counter and update is at each swap events. Information is exported via /proc/<pid>/status file as [kamezawa@bluextal memory]$ cat /proc/self/status Name: cat State: R (running) Tgid: 2910 Pid: 2910 PPid: 2823 TracerPid: 0 Uid: 500 500 500 500 Gid: 500 500 500 500 FDSize: 256 Groups: 500 VmPeak: 82696 kB VmSize: 82696 kB VmLck: 0 kB VmHWM: 432 kB VmRSS: 432 kB VmData: 172 kB VmStk: 84 kB VmExe: 48 kB VmLib: 1568 kB VmPTE: 40 kB VmSwap: 0 kB <=============== this.

2010-03-06mm: avoid false sharing of mm_counterKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Considering the nature of per mm stats, it's the shared object among threads and can be a cache-miss point in the page fault path. This patch adds per-thread cache for mm_counter. RSS value will be counted into a struct in task_struct and synchronized with mm's one at events. Now, in this patch, the event is the number of calls to handle_mm_fault. Per-thread value is added to mm at each 64 calls. rough estimation with small benchmark on parallel thread (2threads) shows [before] 4.5 cache-miss/faults [after] 4.0 cache-miss/faults Anyway, the most contended object is mmap_sem if the number of threads grows.

The PCMCIA ioctl -- deprecated for years -- suffers from insufficient locking. As it already has been deprecated for years, with its removal long overdue, limit it to !SMP and !PREEMPT. Furthermore, the last legitimate use of the ioctl to be reported relates to the ARM architecture in 2008.[1] Attempts to resolve this issue turned out unsuccessful so far.[2] Other usages have only been reported as hear-say. If there are any legitiate and necessary use-cases remaining, please speak out before the end of the grace period until 2.6.3{5,6}(-rc1).

2010-03-02USB: convert to the runtime PM frameworkAlan Stern
This patch (as1329) converts the USB stack over to the PM core's runtime PM framework. This involves numerous changes throughout usbcore, especially to hub.c and driver.c. Perhaps the most notable change is that CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND now depends on CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME instead of CONFIG_PM. Several fields in the usb_device and usb_interface structures are no longer needed. Some code which used to depend on CONFIG_USB_PM now depends on CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND (requiring some rearrangement of header files). The only visible change in behavior should be that following a system sleep (resume from RAM or resume from hibernation), autosuspended USB devices will be resumed just like everything else. They won't remain suspended. But if they aren't in use then they will naturally autosuspend again in a few seconds.

2010-03-02USB: implement usb_enable_autosuspendAlan Stern
This patch (as1326) adds usb_enable_autosuspend() and usb_disable_autosuspend() routines for use by drivers. If a driver knows that its device can handle suspends and resumes correctly, it can enable autosuspend all by itself. This is equivalent to the user writing "auto" to the device's power/level attribute. The implementation differs slightly from what it used to be. Now autosuspend is disabled simply by doing usb_autoresume_device() (to increment the usage counter) and enabled by doing usb_autosuspend_device() (to decrement the usage counter). The set_level() attribute method is updated to use the new routines, and the USB Power-Management documentation is updated. The patch adds a usb_enable_autosuspend() call to the hub driver's probe routine, allowing the special-case code for hubs in quirks.c to be removed.

2010-03-02USB: Export QUIRK_RESET_MORPHS through sysfsOliver Neukum
Some devices which use mode switching revert to their primary mode as they are reset. They must not be reset for error handling. As user spaces makes the switch it also has to tell the kernel that a device is quirky. Signed-off-by: Oliver Neukum <oliver@neukum.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2010-03-02USB: check the endpoint type against the pipe typeAlan Stern
This patch (as1316) adds some error checking to usb_submit_urb(). It's conditional on CONFIG_USB_DEBUG, so it won't affect normal users. The new check makes sure that the actual type of the endpoint described by urb->pipe agrees with the type encoded in the pipe value. The USB error code documentation is updated to include the code returned by the new check, and the usbfs SUBMITURB handler is updated to use the correct pipe type when legacy user code tries to submit a bulk transfer to an interrupt endpoint.

2010-03-02USB: cxacru: remove cxacru-cf.bin loaderSimon Arlott
This has never worked properly because wsize passed to cxacru_cm() is incorrectly set to the number of values instead of the data bytes. The maximum number of values that can be set at once is 7 which means the device will not get enough data to work with and none of the configuration values will be used. At least one existing cxacru-cf.bin file contains invalid data which will prevent the modem from syncing properly. Fixing it is likely to break existing systems, and the new sysfs interface for setting configuration parameters can provide the same functionality. A script is provided to convert from the original format. Signed-off-by: Simon Arlott <simon@fire.lp0.eu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2010-03-02USB: cxacru: add write-only sysfs attribute for modem configurationSimon Arlott
The modem can be configured using CM_REQUEST_CARD_DATA_SET, although CM_REQUEST_CARD_DATA_GET does not return any data. Tested by setting the modulation (0x0a) option. There is a list of parameters in the following archive, but the meaning of many of them is not well documented: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=301825 This source also indicates that the highest parameter set is 0x4a but this varies by model so an arbitrary limit of 0x7f has been used (the index is a 32-bit integer).

2010-03-02i2c: Add SMBus alert supportJean Delvare
SMBus alert support. The SMBus alert protocol allows several SMBus slave devices to share a single interrupt pin on the SMBus master, while still allowing the master to know which slave triggered the interrupt. This is based on preliminary work by David Brownell. The key difference between David's implementation and mine is that his was part of i2c-core, while mine is split into a separate, standalone module named i2c-smbus. The i2c-smbus module is meant to include support for all SMBus extensions to the I2C protocol in the future. The benefit of this approach is a zero cost for I2C bus segments which do not need SMBus alert support. Where David's implementation increased the size of struct i2c_adapter by 7% (40 bytes on i386), mine doesn't touch it. Where David's implementation added over 150 lines of code to i2c-core (+10%), mine doesn't touch it. The only change that touches all the users of the i2c subsystem is a new callback in struct i2c_driver (common to both implementations.) I seem to remember Trent was worried about the footprint of David'd implementation, hopefully mine addresses the issue.
