This is a simple debugging driver that enables the doorbell and scratch pad registers to be read and written from the debugfs. This tool enables more complicated debugging to be scripted from user space. This driver may be used to test that your ntb hardware and drivers are functioning at a basic level. Signed-off-by:

Reset the link stats when the link goes down. In particular, the TX and RX index and count must be reset, or else the TX side will be sending packets to the RX side where the RX side is not expecting them. Reset all the stats, to be consistent. Signed-off-by:

Link training should be enabled in the driver probe for root port mode. We should not have to wait for transport to be loaded for this to happen. Otherwise the ntb device will not show up on the transparent bridge side of the link. Signed-off-by:

Dave Jiang authored
The transport was writing and then reading the peer scratch pad, essentially reading what it just wrote instead of exchanging any information with the peer. The transport expects the peer values to be the same as the local values, so this issue was not obvious. Signed-off-by:

This patch only moves files to their new locations, before applying the next two patches adding the NTB Abstraction layer. Splitting this patch from the next is intended make distinct which code is changed only due to moving the files, versus which are substantial code changes in adding the NTB Abstraction layer.

Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar: "There were so many changes in the x86/asm, x86/apic and x86/mm topics in this cycle that the topical separation of -tip broke down somewhat - so the result is a more traditional architecture pull request, collected into the 'x86/core' topic. The topics were still maintained separately as far as possible, so bisectability and conceptual separation should still be pretty good - but there were a handful of merge points to avoid excessive dependencies (and conflicts) that would have been poorly tested in the end. The next cycle will hopefully be much more quiet (or at least will have fewer dependencies). The main changes in this cycle were: * x86/apic changes, with related IRQ core changes: (Jiang Liu, Thomas Gleixner) - This is the second and most intrusive part of changes to the x86 interrupt handling - full conversion to hierarchical interrupt domains: [IOAPIC domain] ----- | [MSI domain] --------[Remapping domain] ----- [ Vector domain ] | (optional) | [HPET MSI domain] ----- | | [DMAR domain] ----------------------------- | [Legacy domain] ----------------------------- This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping. It's a clear separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet and the vector management. - Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt injection into guests (Feng Wu) * x86/asm changes: - Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations. This is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski, Brian Gerst) - Moved all system entry related code to a new home under arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar) - Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations. Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does not rely on them (Ingo Molnar) - NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov) * x86/mm changes: - Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers - in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov) - New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support Write-Through cached memory mappings. This is especially important for good performance on NVDIMM hardware (Toshi Kani) * x86/ras changes: - Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan) This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for poisoned data. That means roughly that the hardware marks data which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the form of a deferred error. It is the OS's responsibility then to take proper recovery action and thus prolonge system lifetime as far as possible. - Add support for Intel "Local MCE"s: upcoming CPUs will support CPU-local MCE interrupts, as opposed to the traditional system- wide broadcasted MCE interrupts (Ashok Raj) - Misc cleanups (Borislav Petkov) * x86/platform changes: - Intel Atom SoC updates ... and lots of other cleanups, fixlets and other changes - see the shortlog and the Git log for details" * 'x86-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (222 commits) x86/hpet: Use proper hpet device number for MSI allocation x86/hpet: Check for irq==0 when allocating hpet MSI interrupts x86/mm/pat, drivers/infiniband/ipath: Use arch_phys_wc_add() and require PAT disabled x86/mm/pat, drivers/media/ivtv: Use arch_phys_wc_add() and require PAT disabled x86/platform/intel/baytrail: Add comments about why we disabled HPET on Baytrail genirq: Prevent crash in irq_move_irq() genirq: Enhance irq_data_to_desc() to support hierarchy irqdomain iommu, x86: Properly handle posted interrupts for IOMMU hotplug iommu, x86: Provide irq_remapping_cap() interface iommu, x86: Setup Posted-Interrupts capability for Intel iommu iommu, x86: Add cap_pi_support() to detect VT-d PI capability iommu, x86: Avoid migrating VT-d posted interrupts iommu, x86: Save the mode (posted or remapped) of an IRTE iommu, x86: Implement irq_set_vcpu_affinity for intel_ir_chip iommu: dmar: Provide helper to copy shared irte fields iommu: dmar: Extend struct irte for VT-d Posted-Interrupts iommu: Add new member capability to struct irq_remap_ops x86/asm/entry/64: Disentangle error_entry/exit gsbase/ebx/usermode code x86/asm/entry/32: Shorten __audit_syscall_entry() args preparation x86/asm/entry/32: Explain reloading of registers after __audit_syscall_entry() ... -

Pull x86 FPU updates from Ingo Molnar: "This tree contains two main changes: - The big FPU code rewrite: wide reaching cleanups and reorganization that pulls all the FPU code together into a clean base in arch/x86/fpu/. The resulting code is leaner and faster, and much easier to understand. This enables future work to further simplify the FPU code (such as removing lazy FPU restores). By its nature these changes have a substantial regression risk: FPU code related bugs are long lived, because races are often subtle and bugs mask as user-space failures that are difficult to track back to kernel side backs. I'm aware of no unfixed (or even suspected) FPU related regression so far. - MPX support rework/fixes. As this is still not a released CPU feature, there were some buglets in the code - should be much more robust now (Dave Hansen)" * 'x86-fpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (250 commits) x86/fpu: Fix double-increment in setup_xstate_features() x86/mpx: Allow 32-bit binaries on 64-bit kernels again x86/mpx: Do not count MPX VMAs as neighbors when unmapping x86/mpx: Rewrite the unmap code x86/mpx: Support 32-bit binaries on 64-bit kernels x86/mpx: Use 32-bit-only cmpxchg() for 32-bit apps x86/mpx: Introduce new 'directory entry' to 'addr' helper function x86/mpx: Add temporary variable to reduce masking x86: Make is_64bit_mm() widely available x86/mpx: Trace allocation of new bounds tables x86/mpx: Trace the attempts to find bounds tables x86/mpx: Trace entry to bounds exception paths x86/mpx: Trace #BR exceptions x86/mpx: Introduce a boot-time disable flag x86/mpx: Restrict the mmap() size check to bounds tables x86/mpx: Remove redundant MPX_BNDCFG_ADDR_MASK x86/mpx: Clean up the code by not passing a task pointer around when unnecessary x86/mpx: Use the new get_xsave_field_ptr()API x86/fpu/xstate: Wrap get_xsave_addr() to make it safer x86/fpu/xstate: Fix up bad get_xsave_addr() assumptions ... -

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar: "Kernel side changes mostly consist of work on x86 PMU drivers: - x86 Intel PT (hardware CPU tracer) improvements (Alexander Shishkin) - x86 Intel CQM (cache quality monitoring) improvements (Thomas Gleixner) - x86 Intel PEBSv3 support (Peter Zijlstra) - x86 Intel PEBS interrupt batching support for lower overhead sampling (Zheng Yan, Kan Liang) - x86 PMU scheduler fixes and improvements (Peter Zijlstra) There's too many tooling improvements to list them all - here are a few select highlights: 'perf bench': - Introduce new 'perf bench futex' benchmark: 'wake-parallel', to measure parallel waker threads generating contention for kernel locks (hb->lock). (Davidlohr Bueso) 'perf top', 'perf report': - Allow disabling/enabling events dynamicaly in 'perf top': a 'perf top' session can instantly become a 'perf report' one, i.e. going from dynamic analysis to a static one, returning to a dynamic one is possible, to toogle the modes, just press 'f' to 'freeze/unfreeze' the sampling. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Make Ctrl-C stop processing on TUI, allowing interrupting the load of big perf.data files (Namhyung Kim) 'perf probe': (Masami Hiramatsu) - Support glob wildcards for function name - Support $params special probe argument: Collect all function arguments - Make --line checks validate C-style function name. - Add --no-inlines option to avoid searching inline functions - Greatly speed up 'perf probe --list' by caching debuginfo. - Improve --filter support for 'perf probe', allowing using its arguments on other commands, as --add, --del, etc. 'perf sched': - Add option in 'perf sched' to merge like comms to lat output (Josef Bacik) Plus tons of infrastructure work - in particular preparation for upcoming threaded perf report support, but also lots of other work - and fixes and other improvements. See (much) more details in the shortlog and in the git log" * 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (305 commits) perf tools: Configurable per thread proc map processing time out perf tools: Add time out to force stop proc map processing perf report: Fix sort__sym_cmp to also compare end of symbol perf hists browser: React to unassigned hotkey pressing perf top: Tell the user how to unfreeze events after pressing 'f' perf hists browser: Honour the help line provided by builtin-{top,report}.c perf hists browser: Do not exit when 'f' is pressed in 'report' mode perf top: Replace CTRL+z with 'f' as hotkey for enable/disable events perf annotate: Rename source_line_percent to source_line_samples perf annotate: Display total number of samples with --show-total-period perf tools: Ensure thread-stack is flushed perf top: Allow disabling/enabling events dynamicly perf evlist: Add toggle_enable() method perf trace: Fix race condition at the end of started workloads perf probe: Speed up perf probe --list by caching debuginfo perf probe: Show usage even if the last event is skipped perf tools: Move libtraceevent dynamic list to separated LDFLAGS variable perf tools: Fix a problem when opening old perf.data with different byte order perf tools: Ignore .config-detected in .gitignore perf probe: Fix to return error if no probe is added ...
