* [PATCH] ipmi: use CONFIG_DMI instead of CONFIG_X86Matt Domsch2006-01-111-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With Andi Kleen's x86_64 patch to use DMI, and my ia64 to use DMI, there is now a new CONFIG_DMI option which takes the place of CONFIG_X86 to denote the availability of the DMI functions. Make the IPMI driver use CONFIG_DMI instead. Tested on ia64 2.6.15 kernel plus the previous patch, on a Dell PowerEdge 7250 Itanium2 server, and it now autodetects the IPMI KCS driver as expected.

* | [PATCH] TTY layer buffering revampAlan Cox2006-01-1031-560/+536
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The API and code have been through various bits of initial review by serial driver people but they definitely need to live somewhere for a while so the unconverted drivers can get knocked into shape, existing drivers that have been updated can be better tuned and bugs whacked out. This replaces the tty flip buffers with kmalloc objects in rings. In the normal situation for an IRQ driven serial port at typical speeds the behaviour is pretty much the same, two buffers end up allocated and the kernel cycles between them as before. When there are delays or at high speed we now behave far better as the buffer pool can grow a bit rather than lose characters. This also means that we can operate at higher speeds reliably. For drivers that receive characters in blocks (DMA based, USB and especially virtualisation) the layer allows a lot of driver specific code that works around the tty layer with private secondary queues to be removed. The IBM folks need this sort of layer, the smart serial port people do, the virtualisers do (because a virtualised tty typically operates at infinite speed rather than emulating 9600 baud). Finally many drivers had invalid and unsafe attempts to avoid buffer overflows by directly invoking tty methods extracted out of the innards of work queue structs. These are no longer needed and all go away. That fixes various random hangs with serial ports on overflow. The other change in here is to optimise the receive_room path that is used by some callers. It turns out that only one ldisc uses receive room except asa constant and it updates it far far less than the value is read. We thus make it a variable not a function call. I expect the code to contain bugs due to the size alone but I'll be watching and squashing them and feeding out new patches as it goes. Because the buffers now dynamically expand you should only run out of buffering when the kernel runs out of memory for real. That means a lot of the horrible hacks high performance drivers used to do just aren't needed any more. Description: tty_insert_flip_char is an old API and continues to work as before, as does tty_flip_buffer_push() [this is why many drivers dont need modification]. It does now also return the number of chars inserted There are also tty_buffer_request_room(tty, len) which asks for a buffer block of the length requested and returns the space found. This improves efficiency with hardware that knows how much to transfer. and tty_insert_flip_string_flags(tty, str, flags, len) to insert a string of characters and flags For a smart interface the usual code is len = tty_request_buffer_room(tty, amount_hardware_says); tty_insert_flip_string(tty, buffer_from_card, len); More description! At the moment tty buffers are attached directly to the tty. This is causing a lot of the problems related to tty layer locking, also problems at high speed and also with bursty data (such as occurs in virtualised environments) I'm working on ripping out the flip buffers and replacing them with a pool of dynamically allocated buffers. This allows both for old style "byte I/O" devices and also helps virtualisation and smart devices where large blocks of data suddenely materialise and need storing. So far so good. Lots of drivers reference tty->flip.*. Several of them also call directly and unsafely into function pointers it provides. This will all break. Most drivers can use tty_insert_flip_char which can be kept as an API but others need more. At the moment I've added the following interfaces, if people think more will be needed now is a good time to say int tty_buffer_request_room(tty, size) Try and ensure at least size bytes are available, returns actual room (may be zero). At the moment it just uses the flipbuf space but that will change. Repeated calls without characters being added are not cumulative. (ie if you call it with 1, 1, 1, and then 4 you'll have four characters of space. The other functions will also try and grow buffers in future but this will be a more efficient way when you know block sizes. int tty_insert_flip_char(tty, ch, flag) As before insert a character if there is room. Now returns 1 for success, 0 for failure. int tty_insert_flip_string(tty, str, len) Insert a block of non error characters. Returns the number inserted. int tty_prepare_flip_string(tty, strptr, len) Adjust the buffer to allow len characters to be added. Returns a buffer pointer in strptr and the length available. This allows for hardware that needs to use functions like insl or mencpy_fromio.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current console blanking code is broken. It will first do a normal blank, then start the VESA blank timer if vesa_off_interval != 0, and then proceed to do the VESA blanking directly. After the timer expires it will do the VESA blanking a second time. Also the vesa_powerdown() function doesn't allow all VESA modes to be used. With this patch the behaviour is: 1. Blank: vesa_off_interval != 0 -> Do normal blank vesa_off_interval == 0 -> Do VESA blank 2. Start the VESA blank timer if vesa_off_interval != 0 and vesa_power_mode != 0. It also gets rid of the limiting vesa_powerdown() function. Signed-off-by: Ville Syrjala <syrjala@sci.fi> Cc: "Antonino A.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This updates m8xx_wdt as follows: 1) Remove now obsolete fpos check in the write() function. The driver is currently non functional due to this bug. 2) Use in/out macros for register access. 3) Allows m8xx_wdt to use a kernel timer instead of the builtin RTC/PIT for keep-alive trigger (which is responsible for servicing the watchdog until an userspace application takes over). For instance Cyclades PRxK boards (MPC 855T based) have a non-functional internal RTC/PIT unit. Behaviour for boards with RTC/PIT is unchaged. 4) The last change required moving the RTCSC register setting code to a weak function which can be overriden by board specific files. Otherwise the timer init code trashes the register making it impossible for m8xx_wdt to detect the situation.

* | [PATCH] /dev/mem: validate mmap requestsBjorn Helgaas2006-01-081-2/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a hook so architectures can validate /dev/mem mmap requests. This is analogous to validation we already perform in the read/write paths. The identity mapping scheme used on ia64 requires that each 16MB or 64MB granule be accessed with exactly one attribute (write-back or uncacheable). This avoids "attribute aliasing", which can cause a machine check. Sample problem scenario: - Machine supports VGA, so it has uncacheable (UC) MMIO at 640K-768K - efi_memmap_init() discards any write-back (WB) memory in the first granule - Application (e.g., "hwinfo") mmaps /dev/mem, offset 0 - hwinfo receives UC mapping (the default, since memmap says "no WB here") - Machine check abort (on chipsets that don't support UC access to WB memory, e.g., sx1000) In the scenario above, the only choices are - Use WB for hwinfo mmap. Can't do this because it causes attribute aliasing with the UC mapping for the VGA MMIO space. - Use UC for hwinfo mmap. Can't do this because the chipset may not support UC for that region. - Disallow the hwinfo mmap with -EINVAL. That's what this patch does.

* | [PATCH] tpmdd: remove global event logKylene Jo Hall2006-01-081-30/+62
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove global event log in the tpm bios event measurement log code that would have caused problems when the code was run concurrently. A log is now allocated and attached to the seq file upon open and destroyed appropriately.

* | [PATCH] tpm: add bios measurement logKylene Jo Hall2006-01-084-0/+529
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | According to the TCG specifications measurements or hashes of the BIOS code and data are extended into TPM PCRS and a log is kept in an ACPI table of these extensions for later validation if desired. This patch exports the values in the ACPI table through a security-fs seq_file.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kmsg_write returns with printk, so some programs may be confused by a successful write() with a return value different than the buffer length. # /bin/echo something > /dev/kmsg /bin/echo: write error: Inappropriate ioctl for device The drawbacks is that the printk return value can no more be quickly checked from userspace.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Include fixes for 2.6.14-git11. Should allow to remove sched.h from module.h on i386, x86_64, arm, ia64, ppc, ppc64, and s390. Probably more to come since I haven't yet checked the other archs.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | Cleanup for the ARM-only watchdog driver wdt977. This is probably the last update, since we want to merge with w83977f_wdt. Jose Goncalves has ported this driver to i386, so probably we can iron out configuration differences.
