Arriving at read_kmem() with an offset representing a bogus kernel address (e.g. 0 from a simple "cat /dev/kmem") leads to copy_to_user faulting on the kernel-side read. x86_64 happens to get away with this since the optimised implementation uses "rep movs*", thus the user write (which is allowed to fault) and the kernel read are the same instruction, the kernel-side fault falls into the user-side fixup handler and the chain of events which transpires ends up returning an error as one might expect, even if it's an inappropriate -EFAULT. On other architectures, though, the read is not covered by the fixup entry for the write, and we get a big scary "Unable to hande kernel paging request..." dump. The more typical use-case of mmap_kmem() has always (within living memory at least) returned -EIO for addresses which don't satisfy pfn_valid(), so let's make that consistent across {read,write}_kem() too.

The mwave driver has its own macros for the BOOLEAN type and the TRUE/FALSE values. This is redundant because the kernel already has bool/true/false, and it clashes with the ACPI headers that also define these types. The linux/acpi.h header is now included implicitly from mwave through the mc146818rtc.h header, as reported by Stephen Rothwell: In file included from drivers/char/mwave/smapi.c:51:0: drivers/char/mwave/smapi.h:52:0: warning: "TRUE" redefined #define TRUE 1 ^ In file included from include/acpi/acpi.h:58:0, from include/linux/acpi.h:33, from include/linux/mc146818rtc.h:21, from drivers/char/mwave/smapi.c:50: include/acpi/actypes.h:438:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition #define TRUE (1 == 1) ^ This removes the private types from mwave and uses the standard types instead.

Modify ppdev driver to use the new parallel port device model. Initially submitted and committed as: e7223f18 ("ppdev: use new parport device model") But due to some regression it was reverted by: 1701f680 ("Revert "ppdev: use new parport device model"") Now that the original source of regression is fixed by: bbca503b ("parport: use subsys_initcall") we can again modify ppdev to use device model.

This patch removes module_init()/module_exit() from driver code by using module_misc_device() macro. All modules in this patch has a print statement which is removed when module_misc_device() macro is used. If undesirable this patch can be dropped entirely, this is the only purpose of making this as a separate patch.

Many modules call misc_register and misc_deregister in its module init and exit methods without any additional code. This ends up being boilerplate. This patch adds helper macro module_misc_device(), that replaces module_init()/ module_exit() with template functions. This patch also converts drivers to use new macro. Change since v1: Add device.h include in miscdevice.h as module_driver macro was not available from other include files in some architectures.

The algorithm that extracts the version number of the utility being queried, and prints the name of the utility and its version number is currently implemented in awk. The code is used throughout the script, making its use repetative. The proposed implementation confines the algorithm in question to a function, which makes the script easier to read overall, as well as considerably reduces the number of lines of code. Every attempt has been made to retain the look and the format generated by the current implementation.

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is: drivers/vme/Kconfig:menuconfig VME_BUS drivers/vme/Kconfig: bool "VME bridge support" ...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone. Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only. We replace module.h and moduleparam.h (unused) with init.h and also export.h ; the latter since this file does export some syms. Since this is a struct bus_type and not a platform_driver, we don't have any ".suppress_bind_attrs" to be concerned about when we drop the ".remove" code from this file. Since module_init was not in use by this code, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit.

Make the location monitor callback function prototype more useful by changing the argument from an integer to a void pointer. All VME bridge drivers were simply passing the location monitor index (e.g. 0-3) as the argument to these callbacks. It is much more useful to pass back a pointer to data that the callback-registering driver cares about. There appear to be no in-kernel callers of vme_lm_attach (or vme_lme_request for that matter), so this change only affects the VME subsystem and bridge drivers. This has been tested with Tsi148 hardware, but the CA91Cx42 changes have only been compiled.

The MEN Chameleon specification states that a chameleon FPGA can include a bridge descriptor, which then opens up a new bus behind this bridge. MCB included subdevice handling code in the core, but no support for bus descriptors in the parser, due to a lack of hardware access. As this is technically dead code, but it gets executed on a device add, I've decided to remove it.

Added support for the bar descriptor. This type is used for FPGAs connect to the LPC or to a non PCI bus. The Bar descriptor could have a maximum of 6 BARs.

The variable i contains a total number of resources (including IORESOURCE_IRQ). However, we want the dmem_region_start to point after the last resource of type IORESOURCE_MEM. The original behaviour leads (very likely) to skipping several UIO mapping regions and makes them useless. Fix this by computing dmem_region_start from the uiomem which points to the last used UIO mapping.

The ETM registers are classified into 2 categories: trace and management. The core power domain contains most of the trace unit logic including all(except TRCOSLAR and TRCOSLSR) the trace registers. The debug power domain contains the external debugger interface including all management registers. This patch adds coresight unit specific function coresight_simple_func which can be used for ETM trace registers by providing a ETM specific read function which does smp cross call to ensure the trace core is powered up before the register is accessed.

The Coresight ETMv4 architecture provides a way to request to keep the power to the trace unit. This might help to collect the traces without the need to disable the CPU power management(entering/exiting deeper idle states). Trace PowerDown Control Register provides powerup request bit which when set requests the system to retain power to the trace unit and emulate the powerdown request. Typically, a trace unit drives a signal to the power controller to request that the trace unit core power domain is powered up. However, if the trace unit and the CPU are in the same power domain then the implementation might combine the trace unit power up status with a signal from the CPU. This patch requests to retain power to the trace unit when active and to remove when inactive. Note this change will only request but the behaviour depends on the implementation. However, it matches the exact behaviour expected when the external debugger is connected with respect to CPU power states.
