ACPI / ia64 / sba_iommu: Use ACPI scan handler for device discovery

2013-06-19T23:24:29Z

The IA64 System Bus Adapter (SBA) I/O MMU driver uses an ACPI driver object to look for device objects it needs in the ACPI namespace, but that leads to an ordering issue between that driver and the container scan handler on ia64 HP rx2600. Namely, on that machine the SBA I/O MMU device object in the ACPI namespace has a _HID returning its own specific device ID and a _CID returning a generic container device ID. According to Toshi Kani, the idea is that if a _HID is not mached by an I/O MMU driver, the _CID should be matched by a generic container driver, so those device IDs should be used mutually exclusively. That is not what happens, however, because the container driver uses an ACPI scan handler which is matched against the device object in question before registering the SBA I/O MMU driver object. As a result, that scan handler claims the device object first. The driver binds to the same device object later, however, and they both happily use it simultaneously going forward (fortunately, that doesn't cause any real breakage to happen). To avoid that ordering issue, make the SBA I/O MMU code use an ACPI scan handler instead of an ACPI driver, so that it can claim the SBA I/O MMU device object before the container driver (thanks to an improved algorithm of matching ACPI device IDs used for ACPI scan handlers, which matches device _HIDs against the registered scan handlers before _CIDs). This also reduces the kernel's memory footprint slightly by avoiding to register a driver object that's not used after system initialization, so having it registered (and present in sysfs) throughout the system's life time isn't particularly useful.

ACPI: Remove useless type argument of driver .remove() operation

2013-01-25T23:37:24Z

The second argument of ACPI driver .remove() operation is only used by the ACPI processor driver and the value passed to that driver through it is always available from the given struct acpi_device object's removal_type field. For this reason, the second ACPI driver .remove() argument is in fact useless, so drop it. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Reviewed-by: Jiang Liu Acked-by: Toshi Kani Acked-by: Yinghai Lu

Pull DMA mapping branch from Marek Szyprowski: "Short summary for the whole series: A few limitations have been identified in the current dma-mapping design and its implementations for various architectures. There exist more than one function for allocating and freeing the buffers: currently these 3 are used dma_{alloc, free}_coherent, dma_{alloc,free}_writecombine, dma_{alloc,free}_noncoherent. For most of the systems these calls are almost equivalent and can be interchanged. For others, especially the truly non-coherent ones (like ARM), the difference can be easily noticed in overall driver performance. Sadly not all architectures provide implementations for all of them, so the drivers might need to be adapted and cannot be easily shared between different architectures. The provided patches unify all these functions and hide the differences under the already existing dma attributes concept. The thread with more references is available here: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-sh/msg09777.html These patches are also a prerequisite for unifying DMA-mapping implementation on ARM architecture with the common one provided by dma_map_ops structure and extending it with IOMMU support. More information is available in the following thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/12819 More works on dma-mapping framework are planned, especially in the area of buffer sharing and managing the shared mappings (together with the recently introduced dma_buf interface: commit d15bd7ee445d "dma-buf: Introduce dma buffer sharing mechanism"). The patches in the current set introduce a new alloc/free methods (with support for memory attributes) in dma_map_ops structure, which will later replace dma_alloc_coherent and dma_alloc_writecombine functions." People finally started piping up with support for merging this, so I'm merging it as the last of the pending stuff from the merge window. Looks like pohmelfs is going to wait for 3.5 and more external support for merging. * 'for-linus' of git://git.linaro.org/people/mszyprowski/linux-dma-mapping: common: DMA-mapping: add NON-CONSISTENT attribute common: DMA-mapping: add WRITE_COMBINE attribute common: dma-mapping: introduce mmap method common: dma-mapping: remove old alloc_coherent and free_coherent methods Hexagon: adapt for dma_map_ops changes Unicore32: adapt for dma_map_ops changes Microblaze: adapt for dma_map_ops changes SH: adapt for dma_map_ops changes Alpha: adapt for dma_map_ops changes SPARC: adapt for dma_map_ops changes PowerPC: adapt for dma_map_ops changes MIPS: adapt for dma_map_ops changes X86 & IA64: adapt for dma_map_ops changes common: dma-mapping: introduce generic alloc() and free() methods

module_param: make bool parameters really bool (arch)

2012-01-12T23:02:18Z

module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy trick. It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

doc: fix broken references

There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd. Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text they were part of. Signed-off-by: Paul Bolle Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina

sanitize usage

2011-05-20T19:50:29Z

Commit e66eed651fd1 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather obscure header file dependency. So this fixes things up a bit, using grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]') grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]') to guide us in finding files that either need inclusion, or have it despite not needing it. There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets many core ones. Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
