It is rather similar to CPB (boot capability) feature and exists since fam10h (can be looked up in AMD's BKDG). The feature is needed for powernow-k8 to cleanup init functions and to provide proper autoloading matching with the new x86cpu modalias feature.

The only left over hole in automatic cpufreq driver loading was the loading of ACPI cpufreq. This driver should be loaded when ACPI supports a _PDC method and the CPU vendor wants to use acpi cpufreq. Simply add a request module call to the acpi processor core driver when this is true. This seems like the simplest solution for this. Cc: Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Acked-by: H.

Add support for auto-loading of crypto drivers based on cpuid features. This enables auto-loading of the VIA and Intel specific drivers for AES, hashing and CRCs. Requires the earlier infrastructure patch to add x86 modinfo. I kept it all in a single patch for now. I dropped the printks when the driver cpuid doesn't match (imho drivers never should print anything in such a case) One drawback is that udev doesn't know if the drivers are used or not, so they will be unconditionally loaded at boot up. That's better than not loading them at all, like it often happens.

There's a growing number of drivers that support a specific x86 feature or CPU. Currently loading these drivers currently on a generic distribution requires various driver specific hacks and it often doesn't work. This patch adds auto probing for drivers based on the x86 cpuid information, in particular based on vendor/family/model number and also based on CPUID feature bits. For example a common issue is not loading the SSE 4.2 accelerated CRC module: this can significantly lower the performance of BTRFS which relies on fast CRC. Another issue is loading the right CPUFREQ driver for the current CPU. Currently distributions often try all all possible driver until one sticks, which is not really a good way to do this. It works with existing udev without any changes. The code exports the x86 information as a generic string in sysfs that can be matched by udev's pattern matching. This scheme does not support numeric ranges, so if you want to handle e.g. ranges of model numbers they have to be encoded in ASCII or simply all models or families listed. Fixing that would require changing udev. Another issue is that udev will happily load all drivers that match, there is currently no nice way to stop a specific driver from being loaded if it's not needed (e.g. if you don't need fast CRC) But there are not that many cpu specific drivers around and they're all not that bloated, so this isn't a particularly serious issue. Originally this patch added the modalias to the normal cpu sysdevs. However sysdevs don't have all the infrastructure needed for udev, so it couldn't really autoload drivers. This patch instead adds the CPU modaliases to the cpuid devices, which are real devices with full support for udev. This implies that the cpuid driver has to be loaded to use this. This patch just adds infrastructure, some driver conversions in followups. Thanks to Kay for helping with some sysfs magic. v2: Constifcation, some updates v4: (trenn@suse.de): - Use kzalloc instead of kmalloc to terminate modalias buffer - Use uppercase hex values to match correctly against hex values containing letters Cc: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Cc: Jen Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Cc: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Cc: Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Acked-by: H.

Cautious admins may want to restrict access to debugfs. Currently a manual chown/chmod e.g. in an init script is needed to achieve that. Distributions that want to make the mount options configurable need to add extra config files. By allowing to set the root inode's uid, gid and mode via mount options no such hacks are needed anymore. Instead configuration becomes straight forward via fstab.

Alan Stern authored
As part of the removal of get_driver()/put_driver(), this patch (as1511) changes all the places that add dynamic IDs for drivers. Since these additions are done by writing to the drivers' sysfs attribute files, and the attributes are removed when the drivers are unregistered, there is no reason to take an extra reference to the drivers. The one exception is the pci-stub driver, which calls pci_add_dynid() as part of its registration. But again, there's no reason to take an extra reference here, because the driver can't be unloaded while it is being registered.

As part of the removal of get_driver()/put_driver(), this patch (as1510) changes driver_find(); it now drops the reference it acquires before returning. The patch also adjusts all the callers of driver_find() to remove the now unnecessary calls to put_driver(). In addition, the patch adds a warning to driver_find(): Callers must make sure the driver they are searching for does not get unloaded while they are using it. This has always been the case; driver_find() has never prevented a driver from being unregistered or unloaded. Hence the patch will not introduce any new bugs. The existing callers all seem to be okay in this respect, however I don't understand the video drivers well enough to be certain about them.

Insert ddebug_exec_queries() in place of ddebug_exec_query(). It splits the query string on [;\n], and calls ddebug_exec_query() on each. All queries are processed independent of errors, allowing a query to fail, for example when a module is not installed. Empty lines and comments are skipped. Errors are counted, and the last error seen (negative) or the number of callsites found (0 or positive) is returned. Return code checks are altered accordingly. With this, multiple queries can be given in ddebug_query, allowing more selective enabling of callsites. As a side effect, a set of commands can be batched in: cat cmd-file > $DBGMT/dynamic_debug/control We dont want a ddebug_query syntax error to kill the dynamic debug facility, so dynamic_debug_init() zeros ddebug_exec_queries()'s return code after logging the appropriate message, so that ddebug tables are preserved and $DBGMT/dynamic_debug/control file is created. This would be appropriate even without accepting multiple queries. This patch also alters ddebug_change() to return number of callsites matched (which typically is the same as number of callsites changed). ddebug_exec_query() also returns the number found, or a negative value if theres a parse error on the query. Splitting on [;\n] prevents their use in format-specs, but selecting callsites on punctuation is brittle anyway, meaningful and selective substrings are more typical. Note: splitting queries on ';' before handling trailing #comments means that a ';' also terminates a comment, and text after the ';' is treated as another query. This trailing query will almost certainly result in a parse error and thus have no effect other than the error message. The double corner case with unexpected results is: ddebug_query="func foo +p # enable foo ; +p" Signed-off-by: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Factor pr_info(query) out of ddebug_parse_query, into vpr_info_dq(), for reuse later. Also change the printed labels: file, func to agree with the query-spec keywords accepted in the control file. Pass "" when string is null, to avoid "(null)" output from sprintf. For format print, use precision to skip last char, assuming its '\n', no great harm if not, its a debug msg.

trim_prefix(path) skips past the absolute source path root, and returns the pointer to the relative path from there. It is used to shorten the displayed path in $DBGMT/dynamic_debug/control via ddebug_proc_show(), and in ddebug_change() to allow relative filenames to be used in applied queries. For example: ~# echo file kernel/freezer.c +p > $DBGMT/dynamic_debug/control kernel/freezer.c:128 [freezer]cancel_freezing p " clean up: %s\012" trim_prefix(path) insures common prefix before trimming it, so out-of-tree module paths are shown as full absolute paths.

Current query write buffer is 256 bytes, on stack. In comparison, the ddebug_query boot-arg is 1024. Allocate the buffer off heap, and enlarge it to 4096 bytes, big enough for ~100 queries (at 40 bytes each), and error out if not. This makes it play nicely with large query sets (to be added later). The buffer should be enough for most uses, and others should probably be split into subsets.

Change describe_flags() to emit '=[pmflt_]+' for current callsite flags, or just '=_' when they're disabled. Having '=' in output allows a more selective grep expression; in contrast '-' may appear in filenames, line-ranges, and format-strings. '=' also has better mnemonics, saying; "the current setting is equal to <flags>". This allows grep "=_" <dbgfs>/dynamic_debug/control to see disabled callsites while avoiding the many occurrences of " = " seen in format strings. Enlarge flagsbufs to handle additional flag char, and alter ddebug_parse_flags() to allow flags=0, so that user can turn off all debug flags via: ~# echo =_ > <dbgfs>/dynamic_debug/control Signed-off-by: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

If CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is defined, honor it over DEBUG, so that pr_debug()s are controllable, instead of always-on. When DEBUG is also defined, change _DPRINTK_FLAGS_DEFAULT to enable printing by default. Also adding _DPRINTK_FLAGS_INCL_MODNAME would be nice, but there are numerous cases of pr_debug(NAME ": ...), which would result in double printing of module-name. So defer this until things settle.

Tracking the number of subdirectories requires an extra field that increases the size of sysfs_dirent. nlinks are not particularly interesting for sysfs and the nlink counts are wrong when network namespaces are involved so stop counting them, and always return nlink == 1. Userspace already knows that directories with nlink == 1 have an nlink count they can't use to count subdirectories. This reduces the size of sysfs_dirent by 8 bytes on 64bit platforms.

Compute a 31 bit hash of directory entries (that can fit in a signed 32bit off_t) and index the sysfs directory entries by that hash, replacing the per directory indexes by name and by inode. Because we now only use a single rbtree this reduces the size of sysfs_dirent by 2 pointers. Because we have fewer cases to deal with the code is now simpler. For now I use the simple hash that the dcache uses as that is easy to use and seems simple enough. In addition to makeing the code simpler using a hash for the file position in readdir brings sysfs in line with other filesystems that have non-trivial directory structures. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
