2011-03-08ASoC: Provide CODEC clocking operations and API callsMark Brown
When multi component systems use DAIless amplifiers which require clocking configuration it is at best hard to use the current clocking API as this requires a DAI even though the device may not even have one. Address this by adding set_sysclk() and set_pll() operations and APIs for CODECs. In order to avoid issues with devices which could be used either with or without DAIs make the DAI variants call through to their CODEC counterparts if there is no DAI specific operation. Converting over entirely would create problems for multi-DAI devices which offer per-DAI clocking setup.

2011-03-08x86: Separate out entry text sectionJiri Olsa
Put x86 entry code into a separate link section: .entry.text. Separating the entry text section seems to have performance benefits - caused by more efficient instruction cache usage. Running hackbench with perf stat --repeat showed that the change compresses the icache footprint. The icache load miss rate went down by about 15%: before patch: 19417627 L1-icache-load-misses ( +- 0.147% ) after patch: 16490788 L1-icache-load-misses ( +- 0.180% ) The motivation of the patch was to fix a particular kprobes bug that relates to the entry text section, the performance advantage was discovered accidentally. Whole perf output follows: - results for current tip tree: Performance counter stats for './hackbench/hackbench 10' (500 runs): 19417627 L1-icache-load-misses ( +- 0.147% ) 2676914223 instructions # 0.497 IPC ( +- 0.079% ) 5389516026 cycles ( +- 0.144% ) 0.206267711 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.138% ) - results for current tip tree with the patch applied: Performance counter stats for './hackbench/hackbench 10' (500 runs): 16490788 L1-icache-load-misses ( +- 0.180% ) 2717734941 instructions # 0.502 IPC ( +- 0.079% ) 5414756975 cycles ( +- 0.148% ) 0.206747566 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.137% ) Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk> Cc: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Cc: masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com Cc: ananth@in.ibm.com Cc: davem@davemloft.net Cc: 2nddept-manager@sdl.hitachi.co.jp LKML-Reference: <20110307181039.GB15197@jolsa.redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2011-03-08debugobjects: Add hint for better object identificationStanislaw Gruszka
In complex subsystems like mac80211 structures can contain several timers and work structs, so identifying a specific instance from the call trace and object type output of debugobjects can be hard. Allow the subsystems which support debugobjects to provide a hint function. This function returns a pointer to a kernel address (preferrably the objects callback function) which is printed along with the debugobjects type.

2011-03-08unfuck proc_sysctl ->d_compare()Al Viro
a) struct inode is not going to be freed under ->d_compare(); however, the thing PROC_I(inode)->sysctl points to just might. Fortunately, it's enough to make freeing that sucker delayed, provided that we don't step on its ->unregistering, clear the pointer to it in PROC_I(inode) before dropping the reference and check if it's NULL in ->d_compare(). b) I'm not sure that we *can* walk into NULL inode here (we recheck dentry->seq between verifying that it's still hashed / fetching dentry->d_inode and passing it to ->d_compare() and there's no negative hashed dentries in /proc/sys/*), but if we can walk into that, we really should not have ->d_compare() return 0 on it! Said that, I really suspect that this check can be simply killed. Nick? Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2011-03-07ipv4: Cache source address in nexthop entries.David S. Miller
When doing output route lookups, we have to select the source address if the user has not specified an explicit one. First, if the route has an explicit preferred source address specified, then we use that. Otherwise we search the route's outgoing interface for a suitable address. This search can be precomputed and cached at route insertion time. The only missing part is that we have to refresh this precomputed value any time addresses are added or removed from the interface, and this is accomplished by fib_update_nh_saddrs().

2011-03-07net: add ndo_fcoe_ddp_target() to support FCoE DDP in target modeYi Zou
The Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Direct Data Placement (DDP) can also be used for FCoE target, where the DDP used for read I/O on an initiator can be used on an FCoE target to speed up the write I/O to the target from the initiator. The added ndo_fcoe_ddp_target() works in the similar way as the existing ndo_fcoe_ddp_setup() to allow the underlying hardware set up the DDP context accordingly when it gets called from the FCoE target implementation on top the existing Open-FCoE fcoe/libfc protocol stack so without losing the ability to provide DDP for read I/O as an initiator, it can also provide DDP offload to the write I/O coming from the initiator as a target.

Add a new keyctl op to reject a key with a specified error code. This works much the same as negating a key, and so keyctl_negate_key() is made a special case of keyctl_reject_key(). The difference is that keyctl_negate_key() selects ENOKEY as the error to be reported. Typically the key would be rejected with EKEYEXPIRED, EKEYREVOKED or EKEYREJECTED, but this is not mandatory.

2011-03-07UIO: add PRUSS UIO driver supportPratheesh Gangadhar
This patch implements PRUSS (Programmable Real-time Unit Sub System) UIO driver which exports SOC resources associated with PRUSS like I/O, memories and IRQs to user space. PRUSS is dual 32-bit RISC processors which is efficient in performing embedded tasks that require manipulation of packed memory mapped data structures and handling system events that have tight real time constraints. This driver is currently supported on Texas Instruments DA850, AM18xx and OMAP-L138 devices. For example, PRUSS runs firmware for real-time critical industrial communication data link layer and communicates with application stack running in user space via shared memory and IRQs.

2011-03-07USB: move usbcore away from hcd->stateAlan Stern
The hcd->state variable is a disaster. It's not clearly owned by either usbcore or the host controller drivers, and they both change it from time to time, potentially stepping on each other's toes. It's not protected by any locks. And there's no mechanism to prevent it from going through an invalid transition. This patch (as1451) takes a first step toward fixing these problems. As it turns out, usbcore uses hcd->state for essentially only two things: checking whether the controller's root hub is running and checking whether the controller has died. Therefore the patch adds two new atomic bitflags to the hcd structure, to store these pieces of information. The new flags are used only by usbcore, and a private spinlock prevents invalid combinations (a dead controller's root hub cannot be running). The patch does not change the places where usbcore sets hcd->state, since HCDs may depend on them. Furthermore, there is one place in usb_hcd_irq() where usbcore still must use hcd->state: An HCD's interrupt handler can implicitly indicate that the controller died by setting hcd->state to HC_STATE_HALT. Nevertheless, the new code is a big improvement over the current code. The patch makes one other change. The hcd_bus_suspend() and hcd_bus_resume() routines now check first whether the host controller has died; if it has then they return immediately without calling the HCD's bus_suspend or bus_resume methods. This fixes the major problem reported in Bugzilla #29902: The system fails to suspend after a host controller dies during system resume.

2011-03-04perf: Add support for supplementary event registersAndi Kleen
Change logs against Andi's original version: - Extends perf_event_attr:config to config{,1,2} (Peter Zijlstra) - Fixed a major event scheduling issue. There cannot be a ref++ on an event that has already done ref++ once and without calling put_constraint() in between. (Stephane Eranian) - Use thread_cpumask for percore allocation. (Lin Ming) - Use MSR names in the extra reg lists. (Lin Ming) - Remove redundant "c = NULL" in intel_percore_constraints - Fix comment of perf_event_attr::config1 Intel Nehalem/Westmere have a special OFFCORE_RESPONSE event that can be used to monitor any offcore accesses from a core. This is a very useful event for various tunings, and it's also needed to implement the generic LLC-* events correctly. Unfortunately this event requires programming a mask in a separate register. And worse this separate register is per core, not per CPU thread. This patch: - Teaches perf_events that OFFCORE_RESPONSE needs extra parameters. The extra parameters are passed by user space in the perf_event_attr::config1 field. - Adds support to the Intel perf_event core to schedule per core resources. This adds fairly generic infrastructure that can be also used for other per core resources. The basic code has is patterned after the similar AMD northbridge constraints code.
