And we should reserve ibft as early as possible, instead of BOOTMEM stage, in case the table is in RAM range and is not reserved by BIOS (this will often be the case.) Move to just after find_smp_config().

* | include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-307-2/+5
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A memmap is a directory in sysfs which includes 3 text files: start, end and type. For example: start: 0x100000 end: 0x7e7b1cff type: System RAM Interface firmware_map_add was not called explicitly. Remove it and add function firmware_map_add_hotplug as hotplug interface of memmap. Each memory entry has a memmap in sysfs, When we hot-add new memory, sysfs does not export memmap entry for it. We add a call in function add_memory to function firmware_map_add_hotplug. Add a new function add_sysfs_fw_map_entry() to create memmap entry, it will be called when initialize memmap and hot-add memory.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unfortunately, one cannot hold on to the struct firmware that request_firmware_nowait() hands off, which is needed in some cases. Allow this by requiring the callback to free it (via release_firmware). Additionally, give it a gfp_t parameter -- all the current users call it from a GFP_KERNEL context so the GFP_ATOMIC isn't necessary. This also marks an API break which is useful in a sense, although that is obviously not the primary purpose of this change.

* DMI: allow omitting ident strings in DMI tablesDmitry Torokhov2009-12-041-3/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | The purpose of dmi->ident is twofold - it may be used by DMI callback functions when composing log messages; it is also used to determine end of DMI table in dmi_check_system() and dmi_first_match().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since alloc_bootmem() will never return inaccessible (via virtual addressing) memory anyway, using the ..._low() variant only makes sense when the physical address range of the allocated memory must fulfill further constraints, espacially since on 64-bits (or more generally in all cases where the pools the two variants allocate from are than the full available range. Probably the use in alloc_tce_table() could also be eliminated (based on code inspection of pci-calgary_64.c), but that seems too risky given I know nothing about that hardware and have no way to test it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are cases where full date information is required instead of just the year. Add month and day parsing to dmi_get_year() and rename it to dmi_get_date(). As the original function only required '/' followed by any number of parseable characters at the end of the string, keep that behavior to avoid upsetting existing users. The new function takes dates of format [mm[/dd]]/yy[yy]. Year, month and date are checked to be in the ranges of [1-9999], [1-12] and [1-31] respectively and any invalid or out-of-range component is returned as zero. The dummy implementation is updated accordingly but the return value is updated to indicate field not found which is consistent with how other dummy functions behave.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is generally agreed that it would be beneficial for u64 to be an unsigned long long on all architectures. ia64 (in common with several other 64-bit architectures) currently uses unsigned long. Migrating piecemeal is too painful; this giant patch fixes all compilation warnings and errors that come as a result of switching to use int-ll64.h. Note that userspace will still see __u64 defined as unsigned long. This is important as it affects C++ name mangling.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Community reported one SB600 SATA issue(BZ #9412), which led to 64 bit DMA disablement for all SB600 revisions by driver maintainers with commits c7a42156d99bcea7f8173ba7a6034bbaa2ecb77c and 4cde32fc4b32e96a99063af3183acdfd54c563f0. But the root cause is ASUS M2A-VM system BIOS bug in old revisions like 0901, while forcing into 32bit DMA happens to work as workaround. Now it's time to withdraw 4cde32fc4b32e96a99063af3183acdfd54c563f0 so as to restore the SB600 SATA 64bit DMA capability. This patch is also adding the workaround for M2A-VM old BIOS revisions, but users are suggested to upgrade their system BIOS to the latest one if they meet this issue.

This leads to a yo-yo effect during system power-off shutdown and the last phase of hibernation when the disk is first spun down by the kernel and then almost immediately turned on and off by the BIOS. This, in turn, may result in shortening the disk's life times. To prevent this from happening we can blacklist the affected systems using DMI information. However, only the on-board controlles should be blacklisted and their PCI slot numbers can be used for this purpose. Unfortunately the existing interface for checking DMI information of the system is not very convenient for this purpose, because to use it, we would have to define special callback functions or create a separate struct dmi_system_id table for each blacklisted system. To overcome this difficulty introduce a new function dmi_first_match() returning a pointer to the first entry in an array of struct dmi_system_id elements that matches the system DMI information. Then, we can use this pointer to access the entry's .driver_data field containing the additional information, such as the PCI slot number, allowing us to do the desired blacklisting.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: Should permit VMware detection on older platforms where the vendor is changed. Could theoretically cause a regression if some weird serial number scheme contains the string "VMware" by pure chance. Seems unlikely, especially with the mixed case. In some user configured cases, VMware may choose not to put a VMware specific DMI string, but the product serial key is always there and is VMware specific. Add a interface to check the serial key, when checking for VMware in the DMI information. Signed-off-by: Alok N Kataria <akataria@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

* x86: sysfs: kill owner field from attributeParag Warudkar2008-10-201-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Tejun's commit 7b595756ec1f49e0049a9e01a1298d53a7faaa15 made sysfs attribute->owner unnecessary. But the field was left in the structure to ease the merge. It's been over a year since that change and it is now time to start killing attribute->owner along with its users - one arch at a time! This patch is attempt #1 to get rid of attribute->owner only for CONFIG_X86_64 or CONFIG_X86_32 . We will deal with other arches later on as and when possible - avr32 will be the next since that is something I can test. Compile (make allyesconfig / make allmodconfig / custom config) and boot tested. akpm: the idea is that we put the declaration of sttribute.owner inside `#ifndef CONFIG_X86'. But that proved to be too ambitious for now because new usages kept on turning up in subsystem trees.
