Minor updates to atmel_spi: - DMA: * Comments to explain the DMA policies * Report any mapping errors from spi_transfer() * Remove extra loop for DMA mapping - Diagnostics: report minimum clock rate, if we need to reject a spi_setup() request because that rate is too low.

The MPC83xx SPI controller clock divider can divide the system clock by not more then 1024. The spi_mpc83xx driver does not check this and silently writes garbage to the SPI controller registers when asked to run at lower frequencies. I've tried to run the SPI on a 266MHz MPC8349E with 100kHz for debugging a bus problem and suddenly was confronted with a 2nd problem to debug.. ;-) The patch adds an additional check which avoids writing garbage to the SPI controller registers and warn the user about it. This might help others to avoid simmilar problems. Cc: Kumar Gala <galak@gate.crashing.org> Cc: David Brownell <david-b@pacbell.net> Signed-off-by:

Get rid of annoying GCC warning on 32-bit platforms. drivers/spi/spidev.c: In function 'spidev_message': drivers/spi/spidev.c:184: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size drivers/spi/spidev.c:216: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size The trick is to add an extra cast using "ptrdiff_t" to convert the u64 to the correct size integer, and only then casting it into a "void *" pointer.

Add a new spi->mode bit: SPI_3WIRE, for chips where the SI and SO signals are shared (and which are thus only half duplex). Update the LM70 driver to require support for that hardware mode from the controller. Signed-off-by:

Minor SPI controller driver updates: make the setup() methods reject spi->mode bits they don't support, by masking aginst the inverse of bits they *do* support. This insures against misbehavior later when new mode bits get added. Most controllers can't support SPI_LSB_FIRST; more handle SPI_CS_HIGH. Support for all four SPI clock/transfer modes is routine.

On large memory configuration with not so fast CPUs the NMI watchdog is triggered when memory addresses are being gathered and printed. The code paths for Alt-SysRq-t are sprinkled with touch_nmi_watchdog in various places but not in this routine (or in the loop that utilizes this function). The patch has been tested for regression on large CPU+memory configuration (128 logical CPUs + 224 GB) and 1,2,4,16-CPU sockets with various memory sizes (1,2,4,6,20).

Pointed out by Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com>. The bug was introduced in 2.6.22 by me. cleanup_workqueue_thread() does flush_cpu_workqueue(cwq) in a loop until ->worklist becomes empty. This is live-lockable, a re-niced caller can get CPU after wake_up() and insert a new barrier before the lower-priority cwq->thread has a chance to clear ->current_work. Change cleanup_workqueue_thread() to do flush_cpu_workqueue(cwq) only once. We can rely on the fact that run_workqueue() won't return until it flushes all works. So it is safe to call kthread_stop() after that, the "should stop" request won't be noticed until run_workqueue() returns. Signed-off-by:

KSYM_NAME_LEN is peculiar in that it does not include the space for the trailing '\0', forcing all users to use KSYM_NAME_LEN + 1 when allocating buffer. This is nonsense and error-prone. Moreover, when the caller forgets that it's very likely to subtly bite back by corrupting the stack because the last position of the buffer is always cleared to zero. This patch increments KSYM_NAME_LEN by one and updates code accordingly. * off-by-one bug in asm-powerpc/kprobes.h::kprobe_lookup_name() macro is fixed. * Where MODULE_NAME_LEN and KSYM_NAME_LEN were used together, MODULE_NAME_LEN was treated as if it didn't include space for the trailing '\0'. Fix it. Signed-off-by:

This is a driver for the SB1250 DUART, a dual serial port implementation included in the Broadcom family of SOCs descending from the SiByte SB1250 MIPS64 chip multiprocessor. It is a new implementation replacing the old-fashioned driver currently present in the linux-mips.org tree. It supports all the usual features one would expect from a(n asynchronous) serial driver, including modem line control (as far as hardware supports it -- there is edge detection logic missing from the DCD and RI lines and the driver does not implement polling of these lines at the moment), the serial console, BREAK transmission and reception, including the magic SysRq. The receive FIFO threshold is not maintained though. The driver was tested with a SWARM board which uses a BCM1250 SOC (which is dual MIPS64 CMP) and has both ports of the single DUART implemented wired externally. Both were tested. Testing included using the ports as terminal lines at 1200bps (which is the ports minimum), 115200bps and a couple of random speeds inbetween. The modem lines were verified to operate correctly. No testing was performed with a use as a network interface, like with SLIP or PPP. Signed-off-by:

The CHILD_MAX macro in limits.h should not be there. It claims to be the limit on processes a user can own, but its value is wrong for that. There is no constant value, but a variable resource limit (RLIMIT_NPROC). Nothing in the kernel uses CHILD_MAX. The proper thing to do according to POSIX is not to define CHILD_MAX at all. The sysconf (_SC_CHILD_MAX) implementation works by calling getrlimit. Signed-off-by:

The OPEN_MAX macro in limits.h should not be there. It claims to be the limit on file descriptors in a process, but its value is wrong for that. There is no constant value, but a variable resource limit (RLIMIT_NOFILE). Nothing in the kernel uses OPEN_MAX except things that are wrong to do so. I've submitted other patches to remove those uses. The proper thing to do according to POSIX is not to define OPEN_MAX at all. The sysconf (_SC_OPEN_MAX) implementation works by calling getrlimit.

The OPEN_MAX constant is an arbitrary number with no useful relation to anything. Nothing should be using it. SCM_MAX_FD is just an arbitrary constant and it should be clear that its value is chosen in net/scm.h and not actually derived from anything else meaningful in the system. Signed-off-by:

The bounce buffer logic is included on systems that do not need it. If a system does not have zones like ZONE_DMA and ZONE_HIGHMEM that can lead to the use of bounce buffers then there is no need to reserve memory pools etc etc. This is true f.e. for SGI Altix. Also nicifies the Makefile and gets rid of the tricky "and" there. Signed-off-by:

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by:

It is a bug to set a page dirty if it is not uptodate unless it has buffers. If the page has buffers, then the page may be dirty (some buffers dirty) but not uptodate (some buffers not uptodate). The exception to this rule is if the set_page_dirty caller is racing with truncate or invalidate. A buffer can not be set dirty if it is not uptodate. If either of these situations occurs, it indicates there could be some data loss problem. Some of these warnings could be a harmless one where the page or buffer is set uptodate immediately after it is dirtied, however we should fix those up, and enforce this ordering. Bring the order of operations for truncate into line with those of invalidate. This will prevent a page from being able to go !uptodate while we're holding the tree_lock, which is probably a good thing anyway. Signed-off-by:

Detect slab objects being passed to the page oriented functions of the VM. It is not sufficient to simply return NULL because the functions calling page_mapping may depend on other items of the page_struct also to be setup properly. Moreover slab object may not be properly aligned. The page oriented functions of the VM expect to operate on page aligned, page sized objects. Operations on object straddling page boundaries may only affect the objects partially which may lead to surprising results. It is better to detect eventually remaining uses and eliminate them.
