2015-05-17uas: Add US_FL_MAX_SECTORS_240 flagHans de Goede
[ Upstream commit ee136af4a064c2f61e2025873584d2c7ec93f4ae ] The usb-storage driver sets max_sectors = 240 in its scsi-host template, for uas we do not want to do that for all devices, but testing has shown that some devices need it. This commit adds a US_FL_MAX_SECTORS_240 flag for such devices, and implements support for it in uas.c, while at it it also adds support for US_FL_MAX_SECTORS_64 to uas.c.

2015-01-27Input: i8042 - reset keyboard to fix Elantech touchpad detectionSrihari Vijayaraghavan
commit 148e9a711e034e06310a8c36b64957934ebe30f2 upstream. On some laptops, keyboard needs to be reset in order to successfully detect touchpad (e.g., some Gigabyte laptop models with Elantech touchpads). Without resettin keyboard touchpad pretends to be completely dead. Based on the original patch by Mateusz Jończyk this version has been expanded to include DMI based detection & application of the fix automatically on the affected models of laptops. This has been confirmed to fix problem by three users already on three different models of laptops.

2014-10-31Revert "Input: i8042 - disable active multiplexing by default"Dmitry Torokhov
This reverts commit 68da166491655bc54051bf04c78ce648e2e33508. It turns out that the assertion about scope of regressions due to always keeping keyboard controller in legacy mode was proven wrong. There are laptops, such as Clevo W650SH, that only have internal touchpad (no external PS/2 ports), that require active multiplexing mode to switch the touchpad (Elantech) into native mode instead of basic PS/2 emulation.

Mostly fixes and enhancements to existing drivers as well as new drivers. This tag contains a bit more arch code than I usually take due to some OMAP2+ changes. Additionally it contains the restart notifier handlers which are merged as a dependency into several trees. The PXA changes are the only messy part. Due to having a stable tree I had to revert one patch and follow up with one more fix near the tip of this tag. Some dead code is introduced but it will soon become live code after 3.18-rc1 is released as the rest of the PXA family is converted over to the common clock framework. Another trend in this tag is that multiple vendors have started to push the complexity of changing their CPU frequency into the clock driver, whereas this used to be done in CPUfreq drivers. Changes to the clk core include a generic gpio-clock type and a clk_set_phase() function added to the top-level clk.h api. Due to some confusion on the fbdev mailing list the kernel boot parameters documentation was updated to further explain the clk_ignore_unused parameter, which is often required by users of the simplefb driver. Finally some fixes to the locking around the clock debugfs stuff was done to prevent deadlocks when interacting with other subsystems." * tag 'clk-for-linus-3.18' of git://git.linaro.org/people/mike.turquette/linux: (99 commits) clk: pxa clocks build system fix Revert "arm: pxa: Transition pxa27x to clk framework" clk: samsung: register restart handlers for s3c2412 and s3c2443 clk: rockchip: add restart handler clk: rockchip: rk3288: i2s_frac adds flag to set parent's rate doc/kernel-parameters.txt: clarify clk_ignore_unused arm: pxa: Transition pxa27x to clk framework dts: add devicetree bindings for pxa27x clocks clk: add pxa27x clock drivers arm: pxa: add clock pll selection bits clk: dts: document pxa clock binding clk: add pxa clocks infrastructure clk: gpio-gate: Ensure gpiod_ APIs are prototyped clk: ti: dra7-atl-clock: Mark the device as pm_runtime_irq_safe clk: ti: LLVMLinux: Move __init outside of type definition clk: ti: consider the fact that of_clk_get() might return an error clk: ti: dra7-atl-clock: fix a memory leak clk: ti: change clock init to use generic of_clk_init clk: hix5hd2: add I2C clocks clk: hix5hd2: add watchdog0 clocks ...

2014-10-13powerpc/numa: Add ability to disable and debug topology updatesNishanth Aravamudan
We have hit a few customer issues with the topology update code (VPHN and PRRN). It would be nice to be able to debug the notifications coming from the hypervisor in both cases to the LPAR, as well as to disable responding to the notifications at boot-time, to narrow down the source of the problems. Add a basic level of such functionality, similar to the numa= command-line parameter. We already have a toggle in /proc/powerpc/topology_updates that allows run-time enabling/disabling, so the updates can be started at run-time if desired. But the bugs we've run into have occured during boot or very shortly after coming to login, and have resulted in a broken NUMA topology.

2014-10-11Input: i8042 - disable active multiplexing by defaultDmitry Torokhov
Active multiplexing is a nice feature as it allows several pointing devices (such as touchpad and external mouse) use their native protocols at the same time. Unfortunately many manufacturers do not implement the feature properly even though they advertise it. The problematic implementations are never fixed, since Windows by default does not use this mode, and move from one BIOS/model of laptop to another. When active multiplexing is broken turning it on usually results in touchpad, keyboard, or both unresponsive. With PS/2 usage on decline (most of PS/2 devices in use nowadays are internal laptop touchpads), I expect number of users who have laptops with working MUX implementation, docking stations with external PS/2 ports, and who are still using external PS/2 mice, to be rather small. Let's flip the default to be OFF and allow activating it through i8042.nomux=0 kernel option. We'll also keep DMI table where we can record known good models.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki: "Features-wise, to me the most important this time is a rework of wakeup interrupts handling in the core that makes them work consistently across all of the available sleep states, including suspend-to-idle. Many thanks to Thomas Gleixner for his help with this work. Second is an update of the generic PM domains code that has been in need of some care for quite a while. Unused code is being removed, DT support is being added and domains are now going to be attached to devices in bus type code in analogy with the ACPI PM domain. The majority of work here was done by Ulf Hansson who also has been the most active developer this time. Apart from this we have a traditional ACPICA update, this time to upstream version 20140828 and a few ACPI wakeup interrupts handling patches on top of the general rework mentioned above. There also are several cpufreq commits including renaming the cpufreq-cpu0 driver to cpufreq-dt, as this is what implements generic DT-based cpufreq support, and a new DT-based idle states infrastructure for cpuidle. In addition to that, the ACPI LPSS driver is updated, ACPI support for Apple machines is improved, a few bugs are fixed and a few cleanups are made all over. Finally, the Adaptive Voltage Scaling (AVS) subsystem now has a tree maintained by Kevin Hilman that will be merged through the PM tree. Numbers-wise, the generic PM domains update takes the lead this time with 32 non-merge commits, second is cpufreq (15 commits) and the 3rd place goes to the wakeup interrupts handling rework (13 commits). Specifics: - Rework the handling of wakeup IRQs by the IRQ core such that all of them will be switched over to "wakeup" mode in suspend_device_irqs() and in that mode the first interrupt will abort system suspend in progress or wake up the system if already in suspend-to-idle (or equivalent) without executing any interrupt handlers. Among other things that eliminates the wakeup-related motivation to use the IRQF_NO_SUSPEND interrupt flag with interrupts which don't really need it and should not use it (Thomas Gleixner and Rafael Wysocki) - Switch over ACPI to handling wakeup interrupts with the help of the new mechanism introduced by the above IRQ core rework (Rafael Wysocki) - Rework the core generic PM domains code to eliminate code that's not used, add DT support and add a generic mechanism by which devices can be added to PM domains automatically during enumeration (Ulf Hansson, Geert Uytterhoeven and Tomasz Figa). - Add debugfs-based mechanics for debugging generic PM domains (Maciej Matraszek). - ACPICA update to upstream version 20140828. Included are updates related to the SRAT and GTDT tables and the _PSx methods are in the METHOD_NAME list now (Bob Moore and Hanjun Guo). - Add _OSI("Darwin") support to the ACPI core (unfortunately, that can't really be done in a straightforward way) to prevent Thunderbolt from being turned off on Apple systems after boot (or after resume from system suspend) and rework the ACPI Smart Battery Subsystem (SBS) driver to work correctly with Apple platforms (Matthew Garrett and Andreas Noever). - ACPI LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver update cleaning up the code, adding support for 133MHz I2C source clock on Intel Baytrail to it and making it avoid using UART RTS override with Auto Flow Control (Heikki Krogerus). - ACPI backlight updates removing the video_set_use_native_backlight quirk which is not necessary any more, making the code check the list of output devices returned by the _DOD method to avoid creating acpi_video interfaces that won't work and adding a quirk for Lenovo Ideapad Z570 (Hans de Goede, Aaron Lu and Stepan Bujnak) - New Win8 ACPI OSI quirks for some Dell laptops (Edward Lin) - Assorted ACPI code cleanups (Fabian Frederick, Rasmus Villemoes, Sudip Mukherjee, Yijing Wang, and Zhang Rui) - cpufreq core updates and cleanups (Viresh Kumar, Preeti U Murthy, Rasmus Villemoes) - cpufreq driver updates: cpufreq-cpu0/cpufreq-dt (driver name change among other things), ppc-corenet, powernv (Viresh Kumar, Preeti U Murthy, Shilpasri G Bhat, Lucas Stach) - cpuidle support for DT-based idle states infrastructure, new ARM64 cpuidle driver, cpuidle core cleanups (Lorenzo Pieralisi, Rasmus Villemoes) - ARM big.LITTLE cpuidle driver updates: support for DT-based initialization and Exynos5800 compatible string (Lorenzo Pieralisi, Kevin Hilman) - Rework of the test_suspend kernel command line argument and a new trace event for console resume (Srinivas Pandruvada, Todd E Brandt) - Second attempt to optimize swsusp_free() (hibernation core) to make it avoid going through all PFNs which may be way too slow on some systems (Joerg Roedel) - devfreq updates (Paul Bolle, Punit Agrawal, Ãrjan Eide). - rockchip-io Adaptive Voltage Scaling (AVS) driver and AVS entry update in MAINTAINERS (Heiko Stübner, Kevin Hilman) - PM core fix related to clock management (Geert Uytterhoeven) - PM core's sysfs code cleanup (Johannes Berg)" * tag 'pm+acpi-3.18-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (105 commits) ACPI / fan: printk replacement PM / clk: Fix crash in clocks management code if !CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME PM / Domains: Rename cpu_data to cpuidle_data cpufreq: cpufreq-dt: fix potential double put of cpu OF node cpufreq: cpu0: rename driver and internals to 'cpufreq_dt' PM / hibernate: Iterate over set bits instead of PFNs in swsusp_free() cpufreq: ppc-corenet: remove duplicate update of cpu_data ACPI / sleep: Rework the handling of ACPI GPE wakeup from suspend-to-idle PM / sleep: Rename platform suspend/resume functions in suspend.c PM / sleep: Export dpm_suspend_late/noirq() and dpm_resume_early/noirq() ACPICA: Introduce acpi_enable_all_wakeup_gpes() ACPICA: Clear all non-wakeup GPEs in acpi_hw_enable_wakeup_gpe_block() ACPI / video: check _DOD list when creating backlight devices PM / Domains: Move dev_pm_domain_attach|detach() to pm_domain.h cpufreq: Replace strnicmp with strncasecmp cpufreq: powernv: Set the cpus to nominal frequency during reboot/kexec cpufreq: powernv: Set the pstate of the last hotplugged out cpu in policy->cpus to minimum cpufreq: Allow stop CPU callback to be used by all cpufreq drivers PM / devfreq: exynos: Enable building exynos PPMU as module PM / devfreq: Export helper functions for drivers ...

2014-10-03efi: Add efi= parameter parsing to the EFI boot stubMatt Fleming
We need a way to customize the behaviour of the EFI boot stub, in particular, we need a way to disable the "chunking" workaround, used when reading files from the EFI System Partition. One of my machines doesn't cope well when reading files in 1MB chunks to a buffer above the 4GB mark - it appears that the "chunking" bug workaround triggers another firmware bug. This was only discovered with commit 4bf7111f5016 ("x86/efi: Support initrd loaded above 4G"), and that commit is perfectly valid. The symptom I observed was a corrupt initrd rather than any kind of crash. efi= is now used to specify EFI parameters in two very different execution environments, the EFI boot stub and during kernel boot. There is also a slight performance optimization by enabling efi=nochunk, but that's offset by the fact that you're more likely to run into firmware issues, at least on x86. This is the rationale behind leaving the workaround enabled by default. Also provide some documentation for EFI_READ_CHUNK_SIZE and why we're using the current value of 1MB.

The kernel boot parameter "ima_appraise" currently defines 'off', 'enforce' and 'fix' modes. When designing a policy and labeling the system, access to files are either blocked in the default 'enforce' mode or automatically fixed in the 'fix' mode. It is beneficial to be able to run the system in a logging only mode, without fixing it, in order to properly analyze the system. This patch adds a 'log' mode to run the system in a permissive mode and log the appraisal results.

The actual time is controlled by the boot/sysfs parameter rcu_task_stall_timeout, with values less than or equal to zero disabling the stall warnings.

Although RCU is designed to handle arbitrary floods of callbacks, this capability is not routinely tested. This commit therefore adds a cbflood capability in which kthreads repeatedly registers large numbers of callbacks. One such kthread is created for each four CPUs (rounding up), and the test may be controlled by several cbflood_* kernel boot parameters, which control the number of bursts per flood, the number of callbacks per burst, the time between bursts, and the time between floods. The default values are large enough to exercise RCU's emergency responses to callback flooding. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2014-08-06printk: allow increasing the ring buffer depending on the number of CPUsLuis R. Rodriguez
The default size of the ring buffer is too small for machines with a large amount of CPUs under heavy load. What ends up happening when debugging is the ring buffer overlaps and chews up old messages making debugging impossible unless the size is passed as a kernel parameter. An idle system upon boot up will on average spew out only about one or two extra lines but where this really matters is on heavy load and that will vary widely depending on the system and environment. There are mechanisms to help increase the kernel ring buffer for tracing through debugfs, and those interfaces even allow growing the kernel ring buffer per CPU. We also have a static value which can be passed upon boot. Relying on debugfs however is not ideal for production, and relying on the value passed upon bootup is can only used *after* an issue has creeped up. Instead of being reactive this adds a proactive measure which lets you scale the amount of contributions you'd expect to the kernel ring buffer under load by each CPU in the worst case scenario. We use num_possible_cpus() to avoid complexities which could be introduced by dynamically changing the ring buffer size at run time, num_possible_cpus() lets us use the upper limit on possible number of CPUs therefore avoiding having to deal with hotplugging CPUs on and off. This introduces the kernel configuration option LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT which is used to specify the maximum amount of contributions to the kernel ring buffer in the worst case before the kernel ring buffer flips over, the size is specified as a power of 2. The total amount of contributions made by each CPU must be greater than half of the default kernel ring buffer size (1 << LOG_BUF_SHIFT bytes) in order to trigger an increase upon bootup. The kernel ring buffer is increased to the next power of two that would fit the required minimum kernel ring buffer size plus the additional CPU contribution. For example if LOG_BUF_SHIFT is 18 (256 KB) you'd require at least 128 KB contributions by other CPUs in order to trigger an increase of the kernel ring buffer. With a LOG_CPU_BUF_SHIFT of 12 (4 KB) you'd require at least anything over > 64 possible CPUs to trigger an increase. If you had 128 possible CPUs the amount of minimum required kernel ring buffer bumps to: ((1 << 18) + ((128 - 1) * (1 << 12))) / 1024 = 764 KB Since we require the ring buffer to be a power of two the new required size would be 1024 KB. This CPU contributions are ignored when the "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is used as it forces the exact size of the ring buffer to an expected power of two value.
