In architecture independent code for manipulating Hyper-V synthetic timers and synthetic interrupts, pass in an ordinal number identifying the timer or interrupt, rather than an actual MSR register address. Then in x86/x64 specific code, map the ordinal number to the appropriate MSR. This change facilitates the introduction of an ARM64 version of Hyper-V, which uses the same synthetic timers and interrupts, but a different mechanism for accessing them. Signed-off-by:

Add standard interrupt handler annotations to hyperv_vector_handler(). This does not fix any observed bug, but avoids potential removal of the code by link time optimization and makes it consistent with hv_stimer0_vector_handler in the same source file. Suggested-by:

Since commit 33d268ed ("VMware balloon: Do not limit the amount of frees and allocations in non-sleep mode."), the allocations are not increased, and therefore balloon inflation rate limiting is in practice broken. While we can restore rate limiting, in practice we see that it can result in adverse effect, as the hypervisor throttles down the VM if it does not respond well enough, or alternatively causes it to perform very poorly as the host swaps out the VM memory. Throttling the VM down can even have a cascading effect, in which the VM reclaims memory even slower and consequentially throttled down even further. We therefore remove all the rate limiting mechanisms, including the slow allocation cycles, as they are likely to do more harm than good. Fixes: 33d268ed ("VMware balloon: Do not limit the amount of frees and allocations in non-sleep mode.") Reviewed-by:

Currently, when all modules, including VMCI and VMware balloon are built into the kernel, the initialization of the balloon happens before the VMCI is probed. As a result, the balloon fails to initialize the VMCI doorbell, which it uses to get asynchronous requests for balloon size changes. The problem can be seen in the logs, in the form of the following message: "vmw_balloon: failed to initialize vmci doorbell" The driver would work correctly but slightly less efficiently, probing for requests periodically. This patch changes the balloon to be initialized using late_initcall() instead of module_init() to address this issue. It does not address a situation in which VMCI is built as a module and the balloon is built into the kernel.

When vmballoon_vmci_init() sets a doorbell using VMCI_DOORBELL_SET, for some reason it does not consider the status and looks at the result. However, the hypervisor does not update the result - it updates the status. This might cause VMCI doorbell not to be enabled, resulting in degraded performance.

If the hypervisor sets 2MB batching is on, while batching is cleared, the balloon code breaks. In this case the legacy mechanism is used with 2MB page. The VM would report a 2MB page is ballooned, and the hypervisor would only take the first 4KB. While the hypervisor should not report such settings, make the code more robust by not enabling 2MB support without batching. Fixes: 365bd7ef ("VMware balloon: Support 2m page ballooning.")

When balloon batching is not supported by the hypervisor, the guest frame number (GFN) must fit in 32-bit. However, due to a bug, this check was mistakenly ignored. In practice, when total RAM is greater than 16TB, the balloon does not work currently, making this bug unlikely to happen. Fixes: ef0f8f11 ("VMware balloon: partially inline vmballoon_reserve_page.")

Add a "type" device attribute and a "GNSS_TYPE" uevent variable which can be used to determine the type of a GNSS receiver. The currently identified types reflect the protocol(s) supported by a receiver: "NMEA" NMEA 0183 "SiRF" SiRF Binary "UBX" UBX Note that both SiRF and UBX type receivers typically support a subset of NMEA 0183 with vendor extensions (e.g. to allow switching to the vendor protocol).

Add driver for serial-connected SiRFstar-based GNSS receivers. These devices typically boot into hibernate mode from which they can be woken using a pulse on the ON_OFF input pin. Once active, a pulse on the same ON_OFF pin is used to put the device back into hibernate mode. The current state can be determined by sampling the WAKEUP output. Hardware configurations where WAKEUP has been connected to ON_OFF (and where an initial WAKEUP pulse during boot is sufficient to have the device boot into active mode) are also supported. In this case, device power is managed using the main-supply regulator only. Note that configurations where WAKEUP is left not connected, so that the device power state can only indirectly be determined using the I/O interface, is currently not supported. It should be fairly straight-forward to extend the current implementation with such support however (and this this is the main reason for not using the generic serial implementation for this driver). Note that timepulse-support is left unimplemented. Signed-off-by:

Add binding for SiRFstar-based GNSS receivers. Note that while four compatible-strings are initially added representing devices which differ in which I/O interfaces they support, they otherwise essentially share the same feature set. Pin and supply names vary slightly, as do some recommended timings. Note that the wakeup gpio is not intended to be used as a wakeup source, but rather to detect the current power state of the device (active or hibernate). Reviewed-by:

Add driver for serial-connected u-blox GNSS receivers. Note that the driver uses the generic GNSS serial implementation and therefore essentially only manages power abstracted into three power states: ACTIVE, STANDBY, and OFF. For u-blox receivers with a main supply and no enable-gpios, this simply means that the main supply is disabled in STANDBY and OFF (the optional backup supply is kept enabled while the driver is bound). Note that timepulse-support is not yet implemented. Signed-off-by:

Add binding for u-blox GNSS receivers. Note that the u-blox product names encodes form factor (e.g. "neo"), chipset (e.g. "8") and variant (e.g. "q"), but that only formfactor and chipset is used for the compatible strings (for now). Signed-off-by:

Add a generic serial GNSS driver (library) which provides a common implementation for the gnss interface and power management (runtime and system suspend). This allows GNSS drivers for specific chip to be implemented by simply providing a set_power() callback to handle three states: ACTIVE, STANDBY and OFF. Signed-off-by:

Johan Hovold authored
Add a new subsystem for GNSS (e.g. GPS) receivers. While GNSS receivers are typically accessed using a UART interface they often also support other I/O interfaces such as I2C, SPI and USB, while yet other devices use iomem or even some form of remote-processor messaging (rpmsg). The new GNSS subsystem abstracts the underlying interface and provides a new "gnss" class type, which exposes a character-device interface (e.g. /dev/gnss0) to user space. This allows GNSS receivers to have a representation in the Linux device model, something which is important not least for power management purposes. Note that the character-device interface provides raw access to whatever protocol the receiver is (currently) using, such as NMEA 0183, UBX or SiRF Binary. These protocols are expected to be continued to be handled by user space for the time being, even if some hybrid solutions are also conceivable (e.g. to have kernel drivers issue management commands). This will still allow for better platform integration by allowing GNSS devices and their resources (e.g. regulators and enable-gpios) to be described by firmware and managed by kernel drivers rather than platform-specific scripts and services. While the current interface is kept minimal, it could be extended using IOCTLs, sysfs or uevents as needs and proper abstraction levels are identified and determined (e.g. for device and feature identification).
