2013-06-04cpufreq: rename index as driver_data in cpufreq_frequency_tableViresh Kumar1-8/+2
The "index" field of struct cpufreq_frequency_table was never an index and isn't used at all by the cpufreq core. It only is useful for cpufreq drivers for their internal purposes. Many people nowadays blindly set it in ascending order with the assumption that the core will use it, which is a mistake. Rename it to "driver_data" as that's what its purpose is.

2013-06-03PM / Runtime: Rework the "runtime idle" helper routineRafael J. Wysocki1-5/+0
The "runtime idle" helper routine, rpm_idle(), currently ignores return values from .runtime_idle() callbacks executed by it. However, it turns out that many subsystems use pm_generic_runtime_idle() which checks the return value of the driver's callback and executes pm_runtime_suspend() for the device unless that value is not 0. If that logic is moved to rpm_idle() instead, pm_generic_runtime_idle() can be dropped and its users will not need any .runtime_idle() callbacks any more. Moreover, the PCI, SCSI, and SATA subsystems' .runtime_idle() routines, pci_pm_runtime_idle(), scsi_runtime_idle(), and ata_port_runtime_idle(), respectively, as well as a few drivers' ones may be simplified if rpm_idle() calls rpm_suspend() after 0 has been returned by the .runtime_idle() callback executed by it. To reduce overall code bloat, make the changes described above. Tested-by: Mika Westerberg <mika.westerberg@linux.intel.com> Tested-by: Kevin Hilman <khilman@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2013-06-01powerpc/tm: Fix userspace stack corruption on signal delivery for active ↵Michael Neuling1-0/+19
transactions When in an active transaction that takes a signal, we need to be careful with the stack. It's possible that the stack has moved back up after the tbegin. The obvious case here is when the tbegin is called inside a function that returns before a tend. In this case, the stack is part of the checkpointed transactional memory state. If we write over this non transactionally or in suspend, we are in trouble because if we get a tm abort, the program counter and stack pointer will be back at the tbegin but our in memory stack won't be valid anymore. To avoid this, when taking a signal in an active transaction, we need to use the stack pointer from the checkpointed state, rather than the speculated state. This ensures that the signal context (written tm suspended) will be written below the stack required for the rollback. The transaction is aborted becuase of the treclaim, so any memory written between the tbegin and the signal will be rolled back anyway. For signals taken in non-TM or suspended mode, we use the normal/non-checkpointed stack pointer. Tested with 64 and 32 bit signals Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v3.9 Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2013-06-01powerpc/tm: Abort on emulation and alignment faultsMichael Neuling1-2/+5
If we are emulating an instruction inside an active user transaction that touches memory, the kernel can't emulate it as it operates in transactional suspend context. We need to abort these transactions and send them back to userspace for the hardware to rollback. We can service these if the user transaction is in suspend mode, since the kernel will operate in the same suspend context. This adds a check to all alignment faults and to specific instruction emulations (only string instructions for now). If the user process is in an active (non-suspended) transaction, we abort the transaction go back to userspace allowing the HW to roll back the transaction and tell the user of the failure. This also adds new tm abort cause codes to report the reason of the persistent error to the user.

2013-05-24drivers/video: implement a simple framebuffer driverStephen Warren1-0/+25
A simple frame-buffer describes a raw memory region that may be rendered to, with the assumption that the display hardware has already been set up to scan out from that buffer. This is useful in cases where a bootloader exists and has set up the display hardware, but a Linux driver doesn't yet exist for the display hardware. Examples use-cases include: * The built-in LCD panels on the Samsung ARM chromebook, and Tegra devices, and likely many other ARM or embedded systems. These cannot yet be supported using a full graphics driver, since the panel control should be provided by the CDF (Common Display Framework), which has been stuck in design/review for quite some time. One could support these panels using custom SoC-specific code, but there is a desire to use common infra-structure rather than having each SoC vendor invent their own code, hence the desire to wait for CDF. * Hardware for which a full graphics driver is not yet available, and the path to obtain one upstream isn't yet clear. For example, the Raspberry Pi. * Any hardware in early stages of upstreaming, before a full graphics driver has been tackled. This driver can provide a graphical boot console (even full X support) much earlier in the upstreaming process, thus making new SoC or board support more generally useful earlier.

2013-05-17block: remove refs to XD disks from documentationLinus Walleij3-11/+2
Commit d1a6f4f19728d6e90480e53601a90fc9f6a348ad "block: delete super ancient PC-XT driver for 1980's hardware" deleted the XD disk driver, but there are still a few references to it in the documentation directory. Delete the remnants and thus also free up the major block device 13 for reuse.

2013-05-15xen/tmem: Don't use self[ballooning|shrinking] if frontswap is off.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk1-1/+2
There is no point. We would just squeeze the guest to put more and more pages in the swap disk without any purpose. The only time it makes sense to use the selfballooning and shrinking is when frontswap is being utilized. Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
2013-05-15xen/tmem: Remove the boot options and fold them in the tmem.X parameters.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk1-0/+20
If tmem is built-in or a module, the user has the option on the command line to influence it by doing: tmem.<some option> instead of having a variety of "nocleancache", and "nofrontswap". The others: "noselfballooning" and "selfballooning"; and "noselfshrink" are in a different driver xen-selfballoon.c and the patches: xen/tmem: Remove the usage of 'noselfshrink' and use 'tmem.selfshrink' bool instead. xen/tmem: Remove the usage of 'noselfballoon','selfballoon' and use 'tmem.selfballon' bool instead. remove them. Also add documentation. Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
