2010-02-04ASoC: Add a cache_sync bit to the CODEC structureMark Brown
Add a bit to the CODEC structure indicating if a cache sync is required. By default this will be set if a cache only write is done to a soc-cache register cache. This allows us to avoid syncing the cache back after using cache only writes if there were no changes.

2010-02-04perf_events, x86: Fix bug in hw_perf_enable()Stephane Eranian
We cannot assume that because hwc->idx == assign[i], we can avoid reprogramming the counter in hw_perf_enable(). The event may have been scheduled out and another event may have been programmed into this counter. Thus, we need a more robust way of verifying if the counter still contains config/data related to an event. This patch adds a generation number to each counter on each cpu. Using this mechanism we can verify reliabilty whether the content of a counter corresponds to an event.

2010-02-04Input: gpio-keys - add support for disabling gpios through sysfsMika Westerberg
Now gpio-keys input driver exports 4 new attributes to userland through sysfs: /sys/devices/platform/gpio-keys/keys [ro] /sys/devices/platform/gpio-keys/switches [ro] /sys/devices/platform/gpio-keys/disabled_keys [rw] /sys/devices/platform/gpio-keys/disables_switches [rw] With these attributes, userland program can read which keys and switches can be disabled and then disable/enable them as needed. Keys and switches are exported as stringified bitmap of codes (keycodes or switch codes). For example keys 15, 89, 100, 101, 102 are exported as: '15,89,100-102'. Description of the attributes: keys - bitmap of keys which can be disabled switches - bitmap of switches which can be disabled disabled_keys - bitmap of currently disabled keys (bit 1 means disabled, 0 enabled) disabled_switches - bitmap of currently disabled switches (bit 1 means disabled, 0 enabled) Signed-off-by: Mika Westerberg <ext-mika.1.westerberg@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>

2010-02-04ftrace/alternatives: Introducing *_text_reserved functionsMasami Hiramatsu
Introducing *_text_reserved functions for checking the text address range is partially reserved or not. This patch provides checking routines for x86 smp alternatives and dynamic ftrace. Since both functions modify fixed pieces of kernel text, they should reserve and protect those from other dynamic text modifier, like kprobes. This will also be extended when introducing other subsystems which modify fixed pieces of kernel text. Dynamic text modifiers should avoid those.

2010-02-03net: macvtap driverArnd Bergmann
In order to use macvlan with qemu and other tools that require a tap file descriptor, the macvtap driver adds a small backend with a character device with the same interface as the tun driver, with a minimum set of features. Macvtap interfaces are created in the same way as macvlan interfaces using ip link, but the netif is just used as a handle for configuration and accounting, while the data goes through the chardev. Each macvtap interface has its own character device, simplifying permission management significantly over the generic tun/tap driver.

This allows the LSM to distinguish between syslog functions originating from /proc/kmsg access and direct syscalls. By default, the commoncaps will now no longer require CAP_SYS_ADMIN to read an opened /proc/kmsg file descriptor. For example the kernel syslog reader can now drop privileges after opening /proc/kmsg, instead of staying privileged with CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

2010-02-03HID: make raw reports possible for both feature and output reportsJiri Kosina
In commit 2da31939a42 ("Bluetooth: Implement raw output support for HIDP layer"), support for Bluetooth hid_output_raw_report was added, but it pushes the data to the intr socket instead of the ctrl one. This has been fixed by 6bf8268f9a91f1 ("Bluetooth: Use the control channel for raw HID reports") Still, it is necessary to distinguish whether the report in question should be either FEATURE or OUTPUT. For this, we have to extend the generic HID API, so that hid_output_raw_report() callback provides means to specify this value so that it can be passed down to lower level hardware drivers (currently Bluetooth and USB).

Getting it is not used, let's drop support for notifications about (un)registered events from connector. Another option was to check credentials on receiving, but we can always restore it without bugs if needed, but genetlink has a wider code base and none complained, that userspace can not get notification when some other clients were (un)registered.

2010-02-01softlockup: Add sched_clock_tick() to avoid kernel warning on kgdb resumeJason Wessel
When CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK is set, sched_clock() gets the time from hardware such as the TSC on x86. In this configuration kgdb will report a softlock warning message on resuming or detaching from a debug session. Sequence of events in the problem case: 1) "cpu sched clock" and "hardware time" are at 100 sec prior to a call to kgdb_handle_exception() 2) Debugger waits in kgdb_handle_exception() for 80 sec and on exit the following is called ... touch_softlockup_watchdog() --> __raw_get_cpu_var(touch_timestamp) = 0; 3) "cpu sched clock" = 100s (it was not updated, because the interrupt was disabled in kgdb) but the "hardware time" = 180 sec 4) The first timer interrupt after resuming from kgdb_handle_exception updates the watchdog from the "cpu sched clock" update_process_times() { ... run_local_timers() --> softlockup_tick() --> check (touch_timestamp == 0) (it is "YES" here, we have set "touch_timestamp = 0" at kgdb) --> __touch_softlockup_watchdog() ***(A)--> reset "touch_timestamp" to "get_timestamp()" (Here, the "touch_timestamp" will still be set to 100s.) ... scheduler_tick() ***(B)--> sched_clock_tick() (update "cpu sched clock" to "hardware time" = 180s) ... } 5) The Second timer interrupt handler appears to have a large jump and trips the softlockup warning. update_process_times() { ... run_local_timers() --> softlockup_tick() --> "cpu sched clock" - "touch_timestamp" = 180s-100s > 60s --> printk "soft lockup error messages" ... } note: ***(A) reset "touch_timestamp" to "get_timestamp(this_cpu)" Why is "touch_timestamp" 100 sec, instead of 180 sec? When CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK is set, the call trace of get_timestamp() is: get_timestamp(this_cpu) -->cpu_clock(this_cpu) -->sched_clock_cpu(this_cpu) -->__update_sched_clock(sched_clock_data, now) The __update_sched_clock() function uses the GTOD tick value to create a window to normalize the "now" values. So if "now" value is too big for sched_clock_data, it will be ignored. The fix is to invoke sched_clock_tick() to update "cpu sched clock" in order to recover from this state. This is done by introducing the function touch_softlockup_watchdog_sync(). This allows kgdb to request that the sched clock is updated when the watchdog thread runs the first time after a resume from kgdb.

2010-01-30Input: Mac button emulation - implement as an input filterDmitry Torokhov
Current implementation of Mac mouse button emulation plugs into legacy keyboard driver, converts certain keys into button events on a separate device, and suppresses the real events from reaching tty. This worked well enough until user space started using evdev which was completely unaware of this arrangement and kept sending original key presses to its users. Change the implementation to use newly added input filter framework so that original key presses are not transmitted to any handlers. As a bonus remove SYSCTL dependencies from the code and use Kconfig instead; also do not create the emulated mouse device until user activates emulation. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>
2010-01-30Input: implement input filtersDmitry Torokhov
Sometimes it is desirable to suppress certain events from reaching input handlers and thus user space. One such example is Mac mouse button emulation code which catches certain key presses and converts them into button clicks as if they were emitted by a virtual mouse. The original key press events should be completely suppressed, otherwise user space will be confused, and while keyboard driver does it on its own evdev is blissfully unaware of this arrangement. This patch adds notion of 'filter' to the standard input handlers, which may flag event as filtered thus preventing it from reaching other input handlers. Filters don't (nor will they ever) have a notion of priority relative to each other, input core will run all of them first and any one of them may mark event as filtered. This patch is inspired by similar patch by Matthew Garret but the implementation and intended usage are quite different. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>
