Paul Mundt b5ed042249 sh: Add documentation and integrate into docbook build.
This adds some preliminary docbook bits for SH, tying in to the few
interfaces that are exposed and that have adequate kerneldoc comments.

Stephen Rothwell b8b572e101 powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asm
from include/asm-powerpc.  This is the result of a

mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm

Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly.  Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.

Steven Rostedt a97762a77f dual license ftrace.txt
I asked legal about the licensing of ftrace.txt, and they told me that,
unless the Documentation directory is specifically set up to handle non
GPL licenses (which it does not appear to be), then it would be best to
put ftrace.txt under the GPL.

This patch adds a dual license to ftrace.txt such that it is under both
the FDL and the GPL.

Jason Wessel a9b60bf4c2 kgdb: fix kgdb_validate_break_address to perform a mem write
A regression to the kgdb core was found in the case of using the
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA kernel option.  When this option is on, a breakpoint
cannot be written into any readonly memory page.  When an external
debugger requests a breakpoint to get set, the
kgdb_validate_break_address() was only checking to see if the address
to place the breakpoint was readable and lacked a write check.

This patch changes the validate routine to try reading (via the
breakpoint set request) and also to try immediately writing the break
point.  If either fails, an error is correctly returned and the
debugger behaves correctly.  Then an end user can make the
descision to use hardware breakpoints.

Also update the documentation to reflect that using
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA will inhibit the use of software breakpoints.

Joel Becker ecb3d28c7e [PATCH] configfs: Convenience macros for attribute definition.
Sysfs has the _ATTR() and _ATTR_RO() macros to make defining extended
form attributes easier.  configfs should have something similiar.

- _CONFIGFS_ATTR() and _CONFIGFS_ATTR_RO() are the counterparts to the
  sysfs macros.
- CONFIGFS_ATTR_STRUCT() creates the extended form attribute structure.
- CONFIGFS_ATTR_OPS() defines the show_attribute()/store_attribute()
  operations that call the show()/store() operations of the extended
  form configfs_attributes.

Rusty Russell 8c79873da0 lguest: turn Waker into a thread, not a process
lguest uses a Waker process to break it out of the kernel (ie.
actually running the guest) when file descriptor needs attention.

Changing this from a process to a thread somewhat simplifies things:
it can directly access the fd_set of things to watch.  More
importantly, it means that the Waker can see Guest memory correctly,
so /dev/vring file descriptors will work as anticipated (the
alternative is to actually mmap MAP_SHARED, but you can't do that with
/dev/zero).

Rusty Russell a161883a29 lguest: Tell Guest net not to notify us on every packet xmit
virtio_ring has the ability to suppress notifications.  This prevents
a guest exit for every packet, but we need to set a timer on packet
receipt to re-check if there were any remaining packets.

Here are the times for 1G TCP Guest->Host with different timeout
settings (it matters because the TCP window doesn't grow big enough to
fill the entire buffer):

Timeout value	Seconds		Xmit/Recv/Timeout
None (before)	25.3784		xmit 7750233 recv 1
2500 usec	62.5119		xmit 207020 recv 2 timeout 207020

100 usec	19.2583		xmit 561621 recv 1 timeout 560153

 later, and probably other traffic-related variables, so take with a
 large grain of salt).

Mark McLoughlin dec6a2be08 lguest: Support assigning a MAC address
If you've got a nice DHCP configuration which maps MAC
addresses to specific IP addresses, then you're going to
want to start your guest with one of those MAC addresses.

Also, in Fedora, we have persistent network interface naming
based on the MAC address, so with randomly assigned
addresses you're soon going to hit eth13. Who knows what
will happen then!

Allow assigning a MAC address to the network interface with
e.g.

  --tunnet=bridge:eth0:00:FF:95:6B:DA:3D

or:

  --tunnet=192.168.121.1:00:FF:95:6B:DA:3D

which is pretty unintelligable, but ...

Nicolas Boichat 536319afd1 ALSA: Allow to force model to intel-mac-v3 in snd_hda_intel (sigmatel).
Currently, even if you pass model=intel-mac-v3 as a module parameter to
snd_hda_intel, the function patch_stac922x (patch_sigmatel.c) will still
try to auto-detect the model type. This is a problem on my MacBook Pro 1st
generation, which needs intel-mac-v3, but sometimes incorrectly reports
0x00000100 as subsystem id, which causes the switch in patch_stac922x to
select intel-mac-v4.

To fix this, I added a new model called intel-mac-auto, so in case no
module parameter is passed, and an Intel Mac board is detected, the
model will be automatically detected, while no detection will be done
if the model is forced to intel-mac-v3.

This problem has been around for quite a while, and I used to fix it
by moving the case statement for 0x00000100 in patch_stac922x so that
intel-mac-v3 is chosen.

Another way to fix the problem would be to check if a module parameter
was set directly in patch_stac922x, using something like this:
if (spec->board_config == STAC_INTEL_MAC_V3 &&
	!codec->bus->modelname) {

But I think it is less elegant (if you prefer that way, I can prepare a
patch).

Bob Copeland a14e4b572b omfs: add filesystem documentation
These patches add the Optimized MPEG Filesystem, a proprietary filesystem used
by the embedded devices Rio Karma and ReplayTV, which are no longer
manufactured.  This filesystem module enables people to access files on these
devices.

This patch:

OMFS is a proprietary filesystem created for the ReplayTV and also used by the
Rio Karma.  It uses hash tables with unordered, unbounded lists in each bucket
for directories, extents for data blocks, 64-bit addressing for blocks, with
up to 8K blocks (only 2K of a given block is ever used for metadata, so the FS
still works with 4K pages).

Document the filesystem usage and structures.

Eduard - Gabriel Munteanu 20d8b67c06 relay: add buffer-only channels; useful for early logging
Allows one to create and use a channel with no associated files.  Files
can be initialized later.  This is useful in scenarios such as logging in
early code, before VFS is up.  Therefore, such channels can be created and
used as soon as kmem_cache_init() completed.

This is needed by kmemtrace to do tracing in early kernel code.

FUJITA Tomonori 8d8bb39b9e dma-mapping: add the device argument to dma_mapping_error()
Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER
architecture does:

This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices
are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423).

I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for
KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it
difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread).  So I
CC'ed this to KVM camp.  Comments are appreciated.

A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added.  If the
pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it.  If it's
NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before.

If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register
a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works
with hot plugging).  It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate
dma_mapping_ops per device.

The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the
device unlike other DMA operations.  So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per
device.  Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function
so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different
dma_mapping_error functions.

The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error.  The patch
is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in
all the architecture.

This patch:

dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA
operations.  So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device.

Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER
IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function.  x86 IOMMUs use device
argument.

Michael Buesch 7444a72eff gpiolib: allow user-selection
This patch adds functionality to the gpio-lib subsystem to make it
possible to enable the gpio-lib code even if the architecture code didn't
request to get it built in.

The archtitecture code does still need to implement the gpiolib accessor
functions in its asm/gpio.h file.  This patch adds the implementations for
x86 and PPC.

With these changes it is possible to run generic GPIO expansion cards on
every architecture that implements the trivial wrapper functions.  Support
for more architectures can easily be added.

	    /direction ... r/w as: in, out (default low); write high, low
	/gpiochipN ... for each gpiochip; #N is its first GPIO
	    /base ... (r/o) same as N
	    /label ... (r/o) descriptive, not necessarily unique
	    /ngpio ... (r/o) number of GPIOs; numbered N .. N+(ngpio - 1)

GPIOs claimed by kernel code may be exported by its owner using a new
gpio_export() call, which should be most useful for driver debugging.
Such exports may optionally be done without a "direction" attribute.

Userspace may ask to take over a GPIO by writing to a sysfs control file,
helping to cope with incomplete board support or other "one-off"
requirements that don't merit full kernel support:

  echo 23 > /sys/class/gpio/export
	... will gpio_request(23, "sysfs") and gpio_export(23);
	use /sys/class/gpio/gpio-23/direction to (re)configure it,
	when that GPIO can be used as both input and output.
  echo 23 > /sys/class/gpio/unexport
	... will gpio_free(23), when it was exported as above

The extra D-space footprint is a few hundred bytes, except for the sysfs
resources associated with each exported GPIO.  The additional I-space
footprint is about two thirds of the current size of gpiolib (!).  Since
no /dev node creation is involved, no "udev" support is needed.

Related changes:

  * This adds a device pointer to "struct gpio_chip".  When GPIO
    providers initialize that, sysfs gpio class devices become children of
    that device instead of being "virtual" devices.

  * The (few) gpio_chip providers which have such a device node have
    been updated.

  * Some gpio_chip drivers also needed to update their module "owner"
    field ...  for which missing kerneldoc was added.

  * Some gpio_chips don't support input GPIOs.  Those GPIOs are now
    flagged appropriately when the chip is registered.

Based on previous patches, and discussion both on and off LKML.

A Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-gpio update is ready to submit once this
merges to mainline.

This patch introduces a new Kconfig symbol

	HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS

for that purpose and adds it to the powerpc and x86 architectures.  Also add
some documentation about alignment and networking, and especially one intended

Shaohua Li bdfe6b7c68 pm: acpi hibernation: utilize hardware signature
ACPI defines a hardware signature.  BIOS calculates the signature according to
hardware configure and if hardware changes while hibernated, the signature
will change.  In that case, S4 resume should fail.

Still, there may be systems on which this mechanism does not work correctly,
so it is better to provide a workaround for them.  For this reason, add a new
switch to the acpi_sleep= command line argument allowing one to disable
hardware signature checking.

David Brownell 77437fd4e6 pm: boot time suspend selftest
Boot-time test for system suspend states (STR or standby).  The generic
RTC framework triggers wakeup alarms, which are used to exit those states.

  - Measures some aspects of suspend time ... this uses "jiffies" until
    someone converts it to use a timebase that works properly even while
    timer IRQs are disabled.

  - Triggered by a command line parameter.  By default nothing even
    vaguely troublesome will happen, but "test_suspend=mem" will give
    you a brief STR test during system boot.  (Or you may need to use
    "test_suspend=standby" instead, if your hardware needs that.)

This isn't without problems.  It fires early enough during boot that for
example both PCMCIA and MMC stacks have misbehaved.  The workaround in
those cases was to boot without such media cards inserted.

Badari Pulavarty 5c755e9fd8 memory-hotplug: add sysfs removable attribute for hotplug memory remove
Memory may be hot-removed on a per-memory-block basis, particularly on
POWER where the SPARSEMEM section size often matches the memory-block
size.  A user-level agent must be able to identify which sections of
memory are likely to be removable before attempting the potentially
expensive operation.  This patch adds a file called "removable" to the
memory directory in sysfs to help such an agent.  In this patch, a memory
block is considered removable if;

o It contains only MOVABLE pageblocks
o It contains only pageblocks with free pages regardless of pageblock type

On the other hand, a memory block starting with a PageReserved() page will
never be considered removable.  Without this patch, the user-agent is
forced to choose a memory block to remove randomly.

Sample output of the sysfs files:

./memory/memory0/removable: 0
./memory/memory1/removable: 0
./memory/memory2/removable: 0
./memory/memory3/removable: 0
./memory/memory4/removable: 0

Jon Tollefson 0d9ea75443 powerpc: support multiple hugepage sizes
Instead of using the variable mmu_huge_psize to keep track of the huge
page size we use an array of MMU_PAGE_* values.  For each supported huge
page size we need to know the hugepte_shift value and have a
pgtable_cache.  The hstate or an mmu_huge_psizes index is passed to
functions so that they know which huge page size they should use.

The hugepage sizes 16M and 64K are setup(if available on the hardware) so
that they don't have to be set on the boot cmd line in order to use them.
The number of 16G pages have to be specified at boot-time though (e.g.
hugepagesz=16G hugepages=5).

Nishanth Aravamudan a343787016 hugetlb: new sysfs interface
Provide new hugepages user APIs that are more suited to multiple hstates
in sysfs.  There is a new directory, /sys/kernel/hugepages.  Underneath
that directory there will be a directory per-supported hugepage size,
e.g.:

/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64kB
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-16384kB
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-16777216kB

corresponding to 64k, 16m and 16g respectively.  Within each
hugepages-size directory there are a number of files, corresponding to the
tracked counters in the hstate, e.g.:

/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/nr_hugepages
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/nr_overcommit_hugepages
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/free_hugepages
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/resv_hugepages
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/surplus_hugepages

Of these files, the first two are read-write and the latter three are
read-only.  The size of the hugepage being manipulated is trivially
deducible from the enclosing directory and is always expressed in kB (to
match meminfo).

Eric Dumazet a47a126ad5 vmallocinfo: add NUMA information
Christoph recently added /proc/vmallocinfo file to get information about
vmalloc allocations.

This patch adds NUMA specific information, giving number of pages
allocated on each memory node.

This should help to check that vmalloc() is able to respect NUMA policies.

Example of output on a four nodes machine (one cpu per node)

1) network hash tables are evenly spreaded on four nodes (OK) (Same
   point for inodes and dentries hash tables)

2) iptables tables (x_tables) are correctly allocated on each cpu node
   (OK).

3) sys_swapon() allocates its memory from one node only.

4) each loaded module is using memory on one node.

Sysadmins could tune their setup to change points 3) and 4) if necessary.

Rik van Riel 28b2ee20c7 access_process_vm device memory infrastructure
In order to be able to debug things like the X server and programs using
the PPC Cell SPUs, the debugger needs to be able to access device memory
through ptrace and /proc/pid/mem.

This patch:

Add the generic_access_phys access function and put the hooks in place
to allow access_process_vm to access device or PPC Cell SPU memory.

Mel Gorman 6b74ab97bc mm: add a basic debugging framework for memory initialisation
Boot initialisation is very complex, with significant numbers of
architecture-specific routines, hooks and code ordering.  While significant
amounts of the initialisation is architecture-independent, it trusts the data
received from the architecture layer.  This is a mistake, and has resulted in
a number of difficult-to-diagnose bugs.

This patchset adds some validation and tracing to memory initialisation.  It
also introduces a few basic defensive measures.  The validation code can be
explicitly disabled for embedded systems.

This patch:

Add additional debugging and verification code for memory initialisation.

Once enabled, the verification checks are always run and when required
additional debugging information may be outputted via a mminit_loglevel=
command-line parameter.

The verification code is placed in a new file mm/mm_init.c.  Ideally other mm
initialisation code will be moved here over time.

Matthew Wilcox 78305de2f9 Remove mention of semaphores from kernel-locking
Since the consensus seems to be to eliminate semaphores where possible,
we shouldn't be educating people about how to use them as locks.  Use
mutexes instead.  Semaphores should be described in a separate document
if we end up keeping them.
