2009-07-22of/mdio: Add support function for Ethernet fixed-link propertyAnton Vorontsov
Fixed-link support is broken for the ucc_eth, gianfar, and fs_enet device drivers. The "OF MDIO rework" patches removed most of the support. Instead of re-adding fixed-link stuff to the drivers, this patch adds a support function for parsing the fixed-link property and obtaining a dummy phy to match. Note: the dummy phy handling in arch/powerpc is a bit of a hack and needs to be reworked. This function is being added now to solve the regression in the Ethernet drivers, but it should be considered a temporary measure until the fixed link handling can be reworked.

2009-07-17connector: make callback argument type explicitMike Frysinger
The connector documentation states that the argument to the callback function is always a pointer to a struct cn_msg, but rather than encode it in the API itself, it uses a void pointer everywhere. This doesn't make much sense to encode the pointer in documentation as it prevents proper C type checking from occurring and can easily allow people to use the wrong pointer type. So convert the argument type to an explicit struct cn_msg pointer. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-07-15net/compat/wext: send different messages to compat tasksJohannes Berg
Wireless extensions have the unfortunate problem that events are multicast netlink messages, and are not independent of pointer size. Thus, currently 32-bit tasks on 64-bit platforms cannot properly receive events and fail with all kinds of strange problems, for instance wpa_supplicant never notices disassociations, due to the way the 64-bit event looks (to a 32-bit process), the fact that the address is all zeroes is lost, it thinks instead it is 00:00:00:00:01:00. The same problem existed with the ioctls, until David Miller fixed those some time ago in an heroic effort. A different problem caused by this is that we cannot send the ASSOCREQIE/ASSOCRESPIE events because sending them causes a 32-bit wpa_supplicant on a 64-bit system to overwrite its internal information, which is worse than it not getting the information at all -- so we currently resort to sending a custom string event that it then parses. This, however, has a severe size limitation we are frequently hitting with modern access points; this limitation would can be lifted after this patch by sending the correct binary, not custom, event. A similar problem apparently happens for some other netlink users on x86_64 with 32-bit tasks due to the alignment for 64-bit quantities. In order to fix these problems, I have implemented a way to send compat messages to tasks. When sending an event, we send the non-compat event data together with a compat event data in skb_shinfo(main_skb)->frag_list. Then, when the event is read from the socket, the netlink code makes sure to pass out only the skb that is compatible with the task. This approach was suggested by David Miller, my original approach required always sending two skbs but that had various small problems. To determine whether compat is needed or not, I have used the MSG_CMSG_COMPAT flag, and adjusted the call path for recv and recvfrom to include it, even if those calls do not have a cmsg parameter. I have not solved one small part of the problem, and I don't think it is necessary to: if a 32-bit application uses read() rather than any form of recvmsg() it will still get the wrong (64-bit) event. However, neither do applications actually do this, nor would it be a regression. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-07-10rfkill: prep for rfkill API changesJohannes Berg
We've designed the /dev/rfkill API in a way that we can increase the event struct by adding members at the end, should it become necessary. To validate the events, userspace and the kernel need to have the proper event size to check for -- when reading from the other end they need to verify that it's at least version 1 of the event API, with the current struct size, so define a constant for that and make the code a little more 'future proof'. Not that I expect that we'll have to change the event size any time soon, but it's better to write the code in a way that lends itself to extending. Due to the current size of the event struct, the code is currently equivalent, but should the event struct ever need to be increased the new code might not need changing.

2009-07-10cfg80211: connect/disconnect APISamuel Ortiz
This patch introduces the cfg80211 connect/disconnect API. The goal here is to run the AUTH and ASSOC steps in one call. This is needed for some fullmac cards that run both steps directly from the target, after the host driver sends a connect command. Additionally, all the new crypto parameters for connect() are now also valid for associate() -- although associate requires the IEs to be used, the information can be useful for drivers and should be given.

2009-07-10cfg80211: introduce nl80211 testmode commandJohannes Berg
This introduces a new NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE for testing and calibration use with nl80211. There's no multiplexing like like iwpriv had, and the command is not available by default, it needs to be explicitly enabled in Kconfig and shouldn't be enabled in most kernels. The command requires a wiphy index or interface index to identify the device to operate on, and the new TESTDATA attribute. There also is API for sending replies to the command, and testmode multicast messages (on a testmode multicast group). I've also updated mac80211 to be able to pass through the command to the driver, since it itself doesn't implement the testmode command. Additionally, to give people an idea of how to use the command, I've added a little code to hwsim that makes use of the new command to set the powersave mode, this is currently done via debugfs and should remain there, and the testmode command only serves as an example of how to use this best -- with nested netlink attributes in the TESTDATA attribute. A hwsim testmode tool can be found at http://git.sipsolutions.net/hwsim.git/. This tool is BSD licensed so people can easily use it as a basis for their own internal fabrication and validation tools.

2009-06-30fbdev: add mutex for fb_mmap lockingKrzysztof Helt
Add a mutex to avoid a circular locking problem between the mm layer semaphore and fbdev ioctl mutex through the fb_mmap() call. Also, add mutex to all places where smem_start and smem_len fields change so the mutex inside the fb_mmap() is actually used. Changing of these fields before calling the framebuffer_register() are not mutexed. This is 2.6.31 material. It removes one lockdep (fb_mmap() and register_framebuffer()) but there is still another one (fb_release() and register_framebuffer()). It also cleans up handling of the smem_start and smem_len fields used by mutexed section of the fb_mmap().

2009-06-30spi: add spi_master flag wordDavid Brownell
Add a new spi_master.flags word listing constraints relevant to that controller. Define the first constraint bit: a half duplex restriction. Include that constraint in the OMAP1 MicroWire controller driver. Have the mmc_spi host be the first customer of this flag. Its coding relies heavily on full duplex transfers, so it must fail when the underlying controller driver won't perform them. (The spi_write_then_read routine could use it too: use the temporarily-withdrawn full-duplex speedup unless this flag is set, in which case the existing code applies. Similarly, any spi_master implementing only SPI_3WIRE should set the flag.)

2009-06-30spi: new spi->mode bitsDavid Brownell
Add two new spi_device.mode bits to accomodate more protocol options, and pass them through to usermode drivers: * SPI_NO_CS ... a second 3-wire variant, where the chipselect line is removed instead of a data line; transfers are still full duplex. This obviously has STRONG protocol implications since the chipselect transitions can't be used to synchronize state transitions with the SPI master. * SPI_READY ... defines open drain signal that's pulled low to pause the clock. This defines a 5-wire variant (normal 4-wire SPI plus READY) and two 4-wire variants (READY plus each of the 3-wire flavors). Such hardware flow control can be a big win. There are ADC converters and flash chips that expose READY signals, but not many host controllers support it today. The spi_bitbang code should be changed to use SPI_NO_CS instead of its current nonportable hack. That's a mode most hardware can easily support (unlike SPI_READY).

With ELF, at generating coredump, some more headers other than used vmas are added. When max_map_count == 65536, a core generated by following kinds of code can be unreadable because the number of ELF's program header is written in 16bit in Ehdr (please see elf.h) and the number overflows. == ... = mmap(); (munmap, mprotect, etc...) if (failed) abort(); == This can happen in mmap/munmap/mprotect/etc...which calls split_vma(). I think 65536 is not safe as _default_ and reduce it to 65530 is good for avoiding unexpected corrupted core. Anyway, max_map_count can be enlarged by sysctl if a user is brave..

2009-06-30alpha: fix percpu build breakageTejun Heo
alpha percpu access requires custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() definition for modules to work around addressing range limitation. This is done via generating inline assembly using C preprocessing which forces the assembler to generate external reference. This happens behind the compiler's back and makes the compiler think that static percpu variables in modules are unused. This used to be worked around by using __unused attribute for percpu variables which prevent the compiler from omitting the variable; however, recent declare/definition attribute unification change broke this as __used can't be used for declaration. Also, in the process, PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES definition in alpha percpu.h got broken. This patch adds PER_CPU_DEF_ATTRIBUTES which is only used for definitions and make alpha use it to add __used for percpu variables in modules. This also fixes the PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES double definition bug.

Two notifications are added: 1) inode invalidation - invalidate cached attributes - invalidate a range of pages in the page cache (this is optional) 2) dentry invalidation - try to invalidate a subtree in the dentry cache Care must be taken while accessing the 'struct super_block' for the mount, as it can go away while an invalidation is in progress. To prevent this, introduce a rw-semaphore, that is taken for read during the invalidation and taken for write in the ->kill_sb callback.

2009-06-30fuse: allow umask processing in userspaceMiklos Szeredi
This patch lets filesystems handle masking the file mode on creation. This is needed if filesystem is using ACLs. - The CREATE, MKDIR and MKNOD requests are extended with a "umask" parameter. - A new FUSE_DONT_MASK flag is added to the INIT request/reply. With this the filesystem may request that the create mode is not masked. CC: Jean-Pierre André <jean-pierre.andre@wanadoo.fr> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>
2009-06-30perf_counter: Provide a way to enable counters on execPaul Mackerras
This provides a way to mark a counter to be enabled on the next exec. This is useful for measuring the total activity of a program without including overhead from the process that launches it. This also changes the perf stat command to use this new facility.

2009-06-29ide: fix resume for CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEACPI=yBartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz
commit 2f0d0fd2a605666d38e290c5c0d2907484352dc4 ("ide-acpi: cleanup do_drive_get_GTF()") didn't account for the lack of hwif->acpidata check in generic_ide_suspend() [ indirect user of do_drive_get_GTF() through ide_acpi_exec_tfs() ] resulting in broken resume when ACPI support is enabled but ACPI data is unavailable. Fix it by adding ide_port_acpi() helper for checking if port needs ACPI handling and cleaning generic_ide_{suspend,resume}() to use it instead of hiding hwif->acpidata and ide_noacpi checks in IDE ACPI helpers (this should help in preventing similar bugs in the future).

2009-06-29fs: allow d_instantiate to be called with negative parent dentryJeremy Kerr
The new fsnotify infrastructure (starting at 90586523) causes an oops in spufs, where we populate a directory with files before instantiating the directory itself. The new changes seem to have introduced an assumption that a dentry's parent will be positive when instantiating. This change makes it once again possible to d_instantiate a dentry with a negative parent, and brings __fsnotify_d_instantiate() into line with inotify_d_instantiate(), which already has this NULL check.
