* spi_gpio driverDavid Brownell2009-01-064-1/+438
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Generalize the old at91rm9200 "bootstrap" bitbanging SPI master driver as "spi_gpio", so it works with arbitrary GPIOs and can be configured through platform_data. Such SPI masters support: - any number of bus instances (bus_num is the platform_device.id) - any number of chipselects (one GPIO per spi_device) - all four SPI_MODE values, and SPI_CS_HIGH - i/o word sizes from 1 to 32 bits; - devices configured as with any other spi_master controller When configured using platform_data, this provides relatively low clock rates. On platforms that support inlined GPIO calls, significantly improved transfer speeds are also possible with a semi-custom driver. (It's still painful when accessing flash memory, but less so.) Sanity checked by using this version to replace both native controllers on a board with six different SPI slaves, relying on three different SPI_MODE_* values and both SPI_CS_HIGH settings for correct operation.

* adt7470: make automatic fan control really workDarrick J. Wong2009-01-062-33/+142
| | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that the adt7470's automatic fan control algorithm only works when the temperature sensors get updated. This in turn happens only when someone tells the chip to read its temperature sensors. Regrettably, this means that we have to drive the chip periodically. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | The adt7470 driver currently assumes that 1s is the proper time to wait to read all temperature sensors. However, the correct time is 200ms * number_of_sensors.

* adt7470: fix pwm at a certain level during temperature sensor scanDarrick J. Wong2009-01-061-1/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the small window that it takes to read the temperature sensors, the pwm outputs momentarily drop to 0. This causes a noticeable hiccup in fan speed, which is slightly annoying. The solution is to manually program the pwm output with whatever the automatic value is and then shift the fans to manual control while reading temperatures. Once that is done, put the fans back to whatever mode of control was there before. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

* checkpatch: Add warning for p0-patchesWolfram Sang2009-01-061-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some people work internally with -p0-patches which has the danger that one forgets to convert them to -p1 before mainlining. Bitten myself and seen p0-patches in mailing lists occasionally, this patch adds a warning to checkpatch.pl in case a patch is -p0. If you really want, you can fool this check to generate false positives, this is why it just spits a warning. Making the check 100% proof is trickier than it looks, so let's start with a version which catches the cases of real use.

* remove linux/hardirq.h from asm-generic/local.hRussell King2009-01-064-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While looking at reducing the amount of architecture namespace pollution in the generic kernel, I found that asm/irq.h is included in the vast majority of compilations on ARM (around 650 files.) Since asm/irq.h includes a sub-architecture include file on ARM, this causes a negative impact on the ccache's ability to re-use the build results from other sub-architectures, so we have a desire to reduce the dependencies on asm/irq.h. It turns out that a major cause of this is the needless include of linux/hardirq.h into asm-generic/local.h. The patch below removes this include, resulting in some 250 to 300 files (around half) of the kernel then omitting asm/irq.h. My test builds still succeed, provided two ARM files are fixed (arch/arm/kernel/traps.c and arch/arm/mm/fault.c) - so there may be negative impacts for this on other architectures. Note that x86 does not include asm/irq.h nor linux/hardirq.h in its asm/local.h, so this patch can be viewed as bringing the generic version into line with the x86 version.

* ioc4: automatically load sgiioc4 subordinate moduleBrent Casavant2009-01-061-0/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Modify ioc4 to always load the sgiioc4 IDE module if the board carrying the IOC4 hardware actually implements the IDE interface (not all boards bring this functionality off the IOC4 chip). A drive hosted on the IDE interface may contain the root filesystem, and sgiioc4 doesn't load automatically as ioc4 owns the PCI device ID, not sgiioc4.

* percpu_counter: FBC_BATCH should be a variableEric Dumazet2009-01-064-14/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For NR_CPUS >= 16 values, FBC_BATCH is 2*NR_CPUS Considering more and more distros are using high NR_CPUS values, it makes sense to use a more sensible value for FBC_BATCH, and get rid of NR_CPUS. A sensible value is 2*num_online_cpus(), with a minimum value of 32 (This minimum value helps branch prediction in __percpu_counter_add()) We already have a hotcpu notifier, so we can adjust FBC_BATCH dynamically. We rename FBC_BATCH to percpu_counter_batch since its not a constant anymore. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Acked-by: David S.

* Allow times and time system calls to return small negative valuesPaul Mackerras2009-01-063-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At the moment, the times() system call will appear to fail for a period shortly after boot, while the value it want to return is between -4095 and -1. The same thing will also happen for the time() system call on 32-bit platforms some time in 2106 or so. On some platforms, such as x86, this is unavoidable because of the system call ABI, but other platforms such as powerpc have a separate error indication from the return value, so system calls can in fact return small negative values without indicating an error. On those platforms, force_successful_syscall_return() provides a way to indicate that the system call return value should not be treated as an error even if it is in the range which would normally be taken as a negative error number. This adds a force_successful_syscall_return() call to the time() and times() system calls plus their 32-bit compat versions, so that they don't erroneously indicate an error on those platforms whose system call ABI has a separate error indication. This will not affect anything on other platforms. Joakim Tjernlund added the fix for time() and the compat versions of time() and times(), after I did the fix for times().

* documentation: when to BUG(), and when to not BUG()David Brownell2009-01-061-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Provide some basic advice about when to use BUG()/BUG_ON(): never, unless there's really no better option. This matches my understanding of the standard policy ... which seems not to be written down so far, outside of LKML messages that I haven't bookmarked.
