2015-04-22spi: fsl-spi: use devm_ioremap_resource() to map parameter ram on CPM1Christophe Leroy1-17/+18
On CPM2, the SPI parameter RAM is dynamically allocated in the dualport RAM whereas in CPM1, it is statically allocated to a default address with capability to relocate it somewhere else via the use of CPM micropatch. The address of the parameter RAM is given by the boot loader and expected to be mapped via devm_ioremap_resource() In the current implementation, in function fsl_spi_cpm_get_pram() there is a confusion between the SPI_BASE register and the base of the SPI parameter RAM. Fortunatly, it is working properly with MPC866 and MPC885 because they do set SPI_BASE, but on MPC860 and other old MPC8xx that doesn't set SPI_BASE, pram_ofs is not properly set. Also, the parameter RAM is not properly mapped with devm_ioremap_resource() as it should but still gets accessible by chance through the full RAM which is mapped from somewhere else. This patch applies to the SPI driver the same principle as for the CPM UART: when the CPM is of type CPM1, we simply do an devm_ioremap_resource() of the area provided via the device tree.

2015-04-18spi: bitbang: Make setup_transfer() callback optionalPelle Nilsson1-7/+10
Some controller drivers have no need of this callback (spi-altera even causes a NULL pointer dereference because it doesn't register the callback, falsely assuming that it is already optional).

2015-04-16spi: check tx_buf and rx_buf in spi_unmap_msgRobin Gong1-0/+9
Some spi device drivers use the same tx_buf and rx_buf repeatly for better performance such as driver/input/touchsreen/ads7846.c, but spi core grab tx_buf /rx_buf of transfer and set them as dummy_tx/dummy_rx once they are NULL. Thus, in the second time the tx_buf/rx_buf will be replaced by dummy_tx/dummy_rx and the data which produced by the last tx or rx may be wrongly sent to the device or handled by the upper level protocol. This patch just keep the orignal value of tx_buf/rx_buf if they are NULL after this transfer processed. Signed-off-by: Robin Gong <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <[email protected]>
2015-04-16spi: bcm2835: change timeout of polling driver to 1sMartin Sperl1-3/+2
The way that the timeout code is written in the polling function the timeout does also trigger when interrupted or rescheduled while in the polling loop. This patch changes the timeout from effectively 20ms (=2 jiffies) to 1 second and removes the time that the transfer really takes out of the computation, as - per design - this is <30us and the jiffie resolution is 10ms so that does not make any difference what so ever.

2015-04-11blk-mq: initialize 'struct request' and associated data to zeroLinus Torvalds1-3/+1
Jan Engelhardt reports a strange oops with an invalid ->sense_buffer pointer in scsi_init_cmd_errh() with the blk-mq code. The sense_buffer pointer should have been initialized by the call to scsi_init_request() from blk_mq_init_rq_map(), but there seems to be some non-repeatable memory corruptor. This patch makes sure we initialize the whole struct request allocation (and the associated 'struct scsi_cmnd' for the SCSI case) to zero, by using __GFP_ZERO in the allocation. The old code initialized a couple of individual fields, leaving the rest undefined (although many of them are then initialized in later phases, like blk_mq_rq_ctx_init() etc. It's not entirely clear why this matters, but it's the rigth thing to do regardless, and with 4.0 imminent this is the defensive "let's just make sure everything is initialized properly" patch.

2015-04-10spi: bcm2835: enabling polling mode for transfers shorter than 30usMartin Sperl1-26/+86
In cases of short transfer times the CPU is spending lots of time in the interrupt handler and scheduler to reschedule the worker thread. Measurements show that we have times where it takes 29.32us to between the last clock change and the time that the worker-thread is running again returning from wait_for_completion_timeout(). During this time the interrupt-handler is running calling complete() and then also the scheduler is rescheduling the worker thread. This time can vary depending on how much of the code is still in CPU-caches, when there is a burst of spi transfers the subsequent delays are in the order of 25us, so the value of 30us seems reasonable. With polling the whole transfer of 4 bytes at 10MHz finishes after 6.16us (CS down to up) with the real transfer (clock running) taking 3.56us. So the efficiency has much improved and is also freeing CPU cycles, reducing interrupts and context switches. Because of the above 30us seems to be a reasonable limit for polling.

Transforms the bcm-2835 native SPI-chip select to their gpio-cs equivalent. This allows for some support of some optimizations that are not possible due to HW-gliches on the CS line - especially filling the FIFO before enabling SPI interrupts (by writing to CS register) while the transfer is already in progress (See commit: e3a2be3030e2) This patch also works arround some issues in bcm2835-pinctrl which does not set the value when setting the GPIO as output - it just sets up output and (typically) leaves the GPIO as low. When a fix for this is merged then this gpio_set_value can get removed from bcm2835_spi_setup. Signed-off-by: Martin Sperl <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <[email protected]>

2015-04-08Copy the kernel module data from user space in chunksLinus Torvalds1-1/+18
Unlike most (all?) other copies from user space, kernel module loading is almost unlimited in size. So we do a potentially huge "copy_from_user()" when we copy the module data from user space to the kernel buffer, which can be a latency concern when preemption is disabled (or voluntary). Also, because 'copy_from_user()' clears the tail of the kernel buffer on failures, even a *failed* copy can end up wasting a lot of time. Normally neither of these are concerns in real life, but they do trigger when doing stress-testing with trinity. Running in a VM seems to add its own overheadm causing trinity module load testing to even trigger the watchdog. The simple fix is to just chunk up the module loading, so that it never tries to copy insanely big areas in one go. That bounds the latency, and also the amount of (unnecessarily, in this case) cleared memory for the failure case.

2015-04-08x86: clean up/fix 'copy_in_user()' tail zeroingLinus Torvalds2-9/+8
The rule for 'copy_from_user()' is that it zeroes the remaining kernel buffer even when the copy fails halfway, just to make sure that we don't leave uninitialized kernel memory around. Because even if we check for errors, some kernel buffers stay around after thge copy (think page cache). However, the x86-64 logic for user copies uses a copy_user_generic() function for all the cases, that set the "zerorest" flag for any fault on the source buffer. Which meant that it didn't just try to clear the kernel buffer after a failure in copy_from_user(), it also tried to clear the destination user buffer for the "copy_in_user()" case. Not only is that pointless, it also means that the clearing code has to worry about the tail clearing taking page faults for the user buffer case. Which is just stupid, since that case shouldn't happen in the first place. Get rid of the whole "zerorest" thing entirely, and instead just check if the destination is in kernel space or not. And then just use memset() to clear the tail of the kernel buffer if necessary. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>
