mm/cma: Move dma contiguous changes into a seperate config

2013-07-02T08:08:22Z

We want to use CMA for allocating hash page table and real mode area for PPC64. Hence move DMA contiguous related changes into a seperate config so that ppc64 can enable CMA without requiring DMA contiguous.

reservation: cross-device reservation support, v4

2013-06-28T02:02:15Z

This adds support for a generic reservations framework that can be hooked up to ttm and dma-buf and allows easy sharing of reservations across devices. The idea is that a dma-buf and ttm object both will get a pointer to a struct reservation_object, which has to be reserved before anything is done with the contents of the dma-buf. Changes since v1: - Fix locking issue in ticket_reserve, which could cause mutex_unlock to be called too many times. Changes since v2: - All fence related calls and members have been taken out for now, what's left is the bare minimum to be useful for ttm locking conversion. Changes since v3: - Removed helper functions too. The documentation has an example implementation for locking. With the move to ww_mutex there is no need to have much logic any more.

drivers/pinctrl: grab default handles from device core

2013-01-23T15:39:51Z

This makes the device core auto-grab the pinctrl handle and set the "default" (PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT) state for every device that is present in the device model right before probe. This will account for the lion's share of embedded silicon devcies. A modification of the semantics for pinctrl_get() is also done: previously if the pinctrl handle for a certain device was already taken, the pinctrl core would return an error. Now, since the core may have already default-grabbed the handle and set its state to "default", if the handle was already taken, this will be disregarded and the located, previously instanitated handle will be returned to the caller. This way all code in drivers explicitly requesting their pinctrl handlers will still be functional, and drivers that want to explicitly retrieve and switch their handles can still do that. But if the desired functionality is just boilerplate of this type in the probe() function: struct pinctrl *p; p = devm_pinctrl_get_select_default(&dev); if (IS_ERR(p)) { if (PTR_ERR(p) == -EPROBE_DEFER) return -EPROBE_DEFER; dev_warn(&dev, "no pinctrl handle\n"); } The discussion began with the addition of such boilerplate to the omap4 keypad driver: http://marc.info/?l=linux-input&m=135091157719300&w=2 A previous approach using notifiers was discussed: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=135263661110528&w=2 This failed because it could not handle deferred probes. This patch alone does not solve the entire dilemma faced: whether code should be distributed into the drivers or if it should be centralized to e.g. a PM domain. But it solves the immediate issue of the addition of boilerplate to a lot of drivers that just want to grab the default state. As mentioned, they can later explicitly retrieve the handle and set different states, and this could as well be done by e.g. PM domains as it is only related to a certain struct device * pointer. ChangeLog v4->v5 (Stephen): - Simplified the devicecore grab code. - Deleted a piece of documentation recommending that pins be mapped to a device rather than hogged. ChangeLog v3->v4 (Linus): - Drop overzealous NULL checks. - Move kref initialization to pinctrl_create(). - Seeking Tested-by from Stephen Warren so we do not disturb the Tegra platform. - Seeking ACK on this from Greg (and others who like it) so I can merge it through the pinctrl subsystem. ChangeLog v2->v3 (Linus): - Abstain from using IS_ERR_OR_NULL() in the driver core, Russell recently sent a patch to remove it. Handle the NULL case explicitly even though it's a bogus case. - Make sure we handle probe deferral correctly in the device core file. devm_kfree() the container on error so we don't waste memory for devices without pinctrl handles. - Introduce reference counting into the pinctrl core using so that we don't release pinctrl handles that have been obtained for two or more places. ChangeLog v1->v2 (Linus): - Only store a pointer in the device struct, and only allocate this if it's really used by the device.

drivers: add Contiguous Memory Allocator

2012-05-21T13:09:37Z

The Contiguous Memory Allocator is a set of helper functions for DMA mapping framework that improves allocations of contiguous memory chunks. CMA grabs memory on system boot, marks it with MIGRATE_CMA migrate type and gives back to the system. Kernel is allowed to allocate only movable pages within CMA's managed memory so that it can be used for example for page cache when DMA mapping do not use it. On dma_alloc_from_contiguous() request such pages are migrated out of CMA area to free required contiguous block and fulfill the request. This allows to allocate large contiguous chunks of memory at any time assuming that there is enough free memory available in the system. This code is heavily based on earlier works by Michal Nazarewicz.

drivers/base: add bus for System-on-Chip devices

2012-02-10T19:42:25Z

Traditionally, any System-on-Chip based platform creates a flat list of platform_devices directly under /sys/devices/platform. In order to give these some better structure, this introduces a new bus type for soc_devices that are registered with the new soc_device_register() function. All devices that are on the same chip should then be registered as child devices of the soc device. The soc bus also exports a few standardised device attributes which allow user space to query the specific type of soc. Signed-off-by: Lee Jones Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver core: remove drivers/base/sys.c and include/linux/sysdev.h

2012-01-22T21:31:15Z

Now that all users of 'struct sysdev' are removed from the kernel, we can safely remove the .h and .c files for this code, to ensure that no one accidentally starts to use it again. Many thanks for Kay who did all the hard work here on making this happen. Cc: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

dma-buf: Introduce dma buffer sharing mechanism

2012-01-06T10:20:21Z

This is the first step in defining a dma buffer sharing mechanism. A new buffer object dma_buf is added, with operations and API to allow easy sharing of this buffer object across devices. The framework allows: - creation of a buffer object, its association with a file pointer, and associated allocator-defined operations on that buffer. This operation is called the 'export' operation. - different devices to 'attach' themselves to this exported buffer object, to facilitate backing storage negotiation, using dma_buf_attach() API. - the exported buffer object to be shared with the other entity by asking for its 'file-descriptor (fd)', and sharing the fd across. - a received fd to get the buffer object back, where it can be accessed using the associated exporter-defined operations. - the exporter and user to share the scatterlist associated with this buffer object using map_dma_buf and unmap_dma_buf operations. Atleast one 'attach()' call is required to be made prior to calling the map_dma_buf() operation. Couple of building blocks in map_dma_buf() are added to ease introduction of sync'ing across exporter and users, and late allocation by the exporter. For this first version, this framework will work with certain conditions: - *ONLY* exporter will be allowed to mmap to userspace (outside of this framework - mmap is not a buffer object operation), - currently, *ONLY* users that do not need CPU access to the buffer are allowed. More details are there in the documentation patch. This is based on design suggestions from many people at the mini-summits[1], most notably from Arnd Bergmann , Rob Clark and Daniel Vetter . The implementation is inspired from proof-of-concept patch-set from Tomasz Stanislawski , who demonstrated buffer sharing between two v4l2 devices.
