omap_panel_config contains fields which are finally written to DISPC_POL_FREQo registers. These are now held by omap_video_timings and are set when the manager timings are applied. Remove the omap_panel_config enum, and remove all it's references from panel or interface drivers. Signed-off-by: Archit Taneja <archit@ti.com>

Use the newly added fields in omap_video_timings(hsync, vsync and data_enable logic levels and data, hsync and vsync latching related info) to configure/retrieve corresponding sync flags in fb_var_screeninfo and fb_videomode. Out of the new fields, hsync_level and vsync_level can be mapped to the fb sync flags FB_SYNC_HOR_HIGH_ACT and FB_SYNC_VERT_HIGH_ACT. When converting fb mode to omap_video_timings, the fields which don't have an equivalent parameter in fb are kept as the original values if the panel driver has a get_timings op, else they are set to default values.

dispc_mgr_set_pol_freq() configures the fields in the register DISPC_POL_FREQo. All these fields have been moved to omap_video_timings struct, and are now programmed in dispc_mgr_set_lcd_timings(). These will be configured when timings are applied via dss_mgr_set_timings(). Remove dispc_mgr_set_pol_freq() and it's calls from the interface drivers. Signed-off-by: Archit Taneja <archit@ti.com>

The display sysfs file for viewing/storing display timings is something which will be deprecated. The new omap_video_timings fields (hsync_level, vsync_level and others) are not configurable or viewable via this sysfs file. This prevents the need to make the input more configurable to take the new fields and at the same time work without these fields for backward compatibility. In display_timings_store, the omap_video_timings struct used to set the timings is initialized to the existing panel timings so that the new fields are taken in correctly. The other fields are taken from the user as before. Signed-off-by: Archit Taneja <archit@ti.com>

Some panel timing related fields are contained in omap_panel_config in the form of flags. The fields are: - Hsync logic level - Vsync logic level - Data driven on rising/falling edge of pixel clock - Output enable/Data enable logic level - HSYNC/VSYNC driven on rising/falling edge of pixel clock Out of these parameters, Hsync and Vsync logic levels are a part of the timings in the Xorg modeline configuration. So it makes sense to move the to omap_video_timings. The rest aren't a part of modeline, but it still makes sense to move these since they are related to panel timings. These fields stored in omap_panel_config in dssdev are configured for LCD panels, and the corresponding LCD managers in the DISPC_POL_FREQo registers. Add the above fields in omap_video_timings. Represent their state via new enums. Add these parameters to the omap_video_timings instances in the panel drivers. Keep the corresponding IVS, IHS, IPC, IEO, RF and ONOFF flags in omap_panel_config for now. The struct will be removed later. Signed-off-by: Archit Taneja <archit@ti.com>

Remove configuration of Ac-bias pins Ac-bias pins need to be configured only for passive matrix displays. Remove acbi and acb fields in omap_dss_device and their configuration in panel drivers. Don't program these fields in DISP_POL_FREQo register any more. The panel driver for sharp-ls037v7dw01, and the panel config for Innolux AT070TN8 in generic dpi panel driver set acb to a non zero value. This is most likely carried over from the old omapfb driver which supported passive matrix displays. Cc: Thomas Weber <weber@corscience.de> Signed-off-by: Archit Taneja <archit@ti.com>

The support for LCD3 manager has been added into the manager module. LCD3 panel has registers as DISPC_CONTROL3 and DISPC_CONFIG3 just like those in LCD and LCD2 panels. These registers control the Display Controller (DISPC) module for LCD3 output. The three LCDs support Display Serial Interface (DSI), Remote Frame Buffer Interface (RFBI) and Parallel CMOS Output Interface (DPI). These LCDs can be connected through parallel output interface using DISPC and RFBI or DPI. For serial interface DSS uses DSI. The LCD3 panel, just like LCD and LCD2 panels, has a clock switch in DSS_CTRL register which has been enabled. The clock switch chooses between DSS_CLK and DPLL_DSI1_C_CLK1 as source for LCD3_CLK. New IRQs as DISPC_IRQ_VSYNC3, DISPC_IRQ_FRAMEDONE3, DISPC_IRQ_ACBIAS_COUNT_STAT3 and DISPC_IRQ_SYNC_LOST3 have been added specific to the new manager.

The current implementation of LCD channels and managers consists of a number of if-else construct which has been replaced by a simpler interface. A constant structure mgr_desc has been created in Display Controller (DISPC) module. The mgr_desc contains for each channel its name, irqs and is initialized one time with all registers and their corresponding fields to be written to enable various features of Display Subsystem. This structure is later used by various functions of DISPC which simplifies the further implementation of LCD channels and its corresponding managers.

If runtime PM is not enabled in the kernel config, pm_runtime_get_sync() will always return 1 and pm_runtime_put_sync() will always return -ENOSYS. pm_runtime_get_sync() returning 1 presents no problem to the driver, but -ENOSYS from pm_runtime_put_sync() causes the driver to print a warning. One option would be to ignore errors returned by pm_runtime_put_sync() totally, as they only say that the call was unable to put the hardware into suspend mode. However, I chose to ignore the returned -ENOSYS explicitly, and print a warning for other errors, as I think we should get notified if the HW failed to go to suspend properly.

The current way how omapdss handles system suspend and resume is that omapdss device (a platform device, which is not part of the device hierarchy of the DSS HW devices, like DISPC and DSI, or panels.) uses the suspend and resume callbacks from platform_driver to handle system suspend. It does this by disabling all enabled panels on suspend, and resuming the previously disabled panels on resume. This presents a few problems. One is that as omapdss device is not related to the panel devices or the DSS HW devices, there's no ordering in the suspend process. This means that suspend could be first ran for DSS HW devices and panels, and only then for omapdss device. Currently this is not a problem, as DSS HW devices and panels do not handle suspend. Another, more pressing problem, is that when suspending or resuming, the runtime PM functions return -EACCES as runtime PM is disabled during system suspend. This causes the driver to print warnings, and operations to fail as they think that they failed to bring up the HW. This patch changes the omapdss suspend handling to use PM notifiers, which are called before suspend and after resume. This way we have a normally functioning system when we are suspending and resuming the panels. This patch, I believe, creates a problem that somebody could enable or disable a panel between PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE and the system suspend, and similarly the other way around in resume. I choose to ignore the problem for now, as it sounds rather unlikely, and if it happens, it's not fatal. In the long run the system suspend handling of omapdss and panels should be thought out properly. The current approach feels rather hacky. Perhaps the panel drivers should handle system suspend, or the users of omapdss (omapfb, omapdrm) should handle system suspend. Note that after this patch we could probably revert 0eaf9f52 (OMAPDSS: use sync versions of pm_runtime_put). But as I said, this patch may be temporary, so let's leave the sync version still in place.

We have two almost the same enums: omap_channel and omap_dss_overlay_managers. omap_channel is used almost everywhere, and omap_channel assigns explicit values to the enum values which are needed for proper operation. omap_dss_overlay_managers is only used in one place, so it's easy to remove it, which is what this patch does.

If the privileges given to root threads (3% of allowable memory) or a negative value of /proc/pid/oom_score_adj happen to exceed the amount of rss of a thread, its badness score overflows as a result of commit a7f638f9 ("mm, oom: normalize oom scores to oom_score_adj scale only for userspace"). Fix this by making the type signed and return 1, meaning the thread is still eligible for kill, if the value is negative.

This reverts commit 9e612a00. It incorrectly finds VGA connectors where none are attached, apparently not noticing that nothing replied to the EDID queries, and happily using the default EDID modes that have nothing to do with actual hardware. That in turn then causes X to fall down to the lowest common denominator, which is usually the default 1024x768 mode that is in the default EDID and pretty much anything supports). I'd suggest that if not relying on the HDP pin, the code should at least check whether it gets valid EDID data back, rather than just assume there's something on the VGA connector.

This reverts commit 7732a557 (and commit 3f50fff4, which was a follow-up cleanup). We're chasing an elusive bug that Dave Jones can apparently reproduce using his system call fuzzer tool, and that looks like some kind of locking ordering problem on the directory i_mutex chain. Our i_mutex locking is rather complex, and depends on the topological ordering of the directories, which is why we have been very wary of splicing directory entries around. Of course, we really don't want to ever see aliased unconnected directories anyway, so none of this should ever happen, but this revert aims to basically get us back to a known older state. Bruce points to some of the previous discussion at http://marc.info/?i=<20110310105821.GE22723@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> and in particular a long post from Neil: http://marc.info/?i=<20110311150749.2fa2be66@notabene.brown> It should be noted that it's possible that Dave's problems come from other changes altohgether, including possibly just the fact that Dave constantly is teachning his fuzzer new tricks. So what appears to be a new bug could in fact be an old one that just gets newly triggered, but reverting these patches as "still under heavy discussion" is the right thing regardless.

The reason for this is that those structs are not defined in the init section whereas the rest of the code in nmi_selftest.c is. To resolve this, I created a new #define, register_nmi_handler_initonly, that tags the struct as __initdata to resolve the mismatch. This #define should only be used in rare situations where the register/unregister is called during init of the kernel.

This fixes a problem which can causes kernel oopses while loading a kernel module. According to the PowerPC EABI specification, GPR r11 is assigned the dedicated function to point to the previous stack frame. In the powerpc-specific kernel module loader, do_plt_call() (in arch/powerpc/kernel/module_32.c), GPR r11 is also used to generate trampoline code. This combination crashes the kernel, in the case where the compiler chooses to use a helper function for saving GPRs on entry, and the module loader has placed the .init.text section far away from the .text section, meaning that it has to generate a trampoline for functions in the .init.text section to call the GPR save helper. Because the trampoline trashes r11, references to the stack frame using r11 can cause an oops. The fix just uses GPR r12 instead of GPR r11 for generating the trampoline code. According to the statements from Freescale, this is safe from an EABI perspective. I've tested the fix for kernel 2.6.33 on MPC8541.

The SGI Altix UV2 BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) as used for tlb-shootdown (selective broadcast mode) always uses UV2 broadcast descriptor format. There is no need to clear the 'legacy' (UV1) mode, because the hardware always uses UV2 mode for selective broadcast. But the BIOS uses general broadcast and legacy mode, and the hardware pays attention to the legacy mode bit for general broadcast. So the kernel must not clear that mode bit.
