2011-03-14printk: do not mangle valid userspace syslog prefixesKay Sievers
printk: do not mangle valid userspace syslog prefixes with /dev/kmsg Log messages passed to the kernel log by using /dev/kmsg or /dev/ttyprintk might contain a syslog prefix including the syslog facility value. This makes printk to recognize these headers properly, extract the real log level from it to use, and add the prefix as a proper prefix to the log buffer, instead of wrongly printing it as the log message text. Before: $ echo '<14>text' > /dev/kmsg $ dmesg -r <4>[135159.594810] <14>text After: $ echo '<14>text' > /dev/kmsg $ dmesg -r <14>[ 50.750654] text Cc: Lennart Poettering <lennart@poettering.net> Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2011-03-14efivars: parameterize efivarsMike Waychison
Now that we all global variable state is encapsulated by struct efivars, parameterize all functions to the efivars local to the control flow rather than at file scope. We do this by removing the variable "efivars" at file scope and move its storage down to the end of the file. Variables get at efivars by storing the efivars pointer within each efivar_entry. The "new_var" and "del_var" binary attribute files get at the efivars through the private pointer.

2011-03-07UIO: add PRUSS UIO driver supportPratheesh Gangadhar
This patch implements PRUSS (Programmable Real-time Unit Sub System) UIO driver which exports SOC resources associated with PRUSS like I/O, memories and IRQs to user space. PRUSS is dual 32-bit RISC processors which is efficient in performing embedded tasks that require manipulation of packed memory mapped data structures and handling system events that have tight real time constraints. This driver is currently supported on Texas Instruments DA850, AM18xx and OMAP-L138 devices. For example, PRUSS runs firmware for real-time critical industrial communication data link layer and communicates with application stack running in user space via shared memory and IRQs.

2011-02-25firmware: Fix unaligned memory accesses in dmi-sysfsMike Waychison
DMI entries are arranged in memory back to back with no alignment guarantees. This means that the struct dmi_header passed to callbacks from dmi_walk() itself isn't byte aligned. This causes problems on architectures that expect aligned data, such as IA64. The dmi-sysfs patchset introduced structure member accesses through this passed in dmi_header. Fix this by memcpy()ing the structures to temporary locations on stack when inspecting/copying them.

In order to get read access to this log, expose it in the "system_event_log" sub-directory of type 15 DMI entries, ie: /sys/firmware/dmi/entries/15-0/system_event_log/raw_event_log. This commit handles both IO accessed and memory access system event logs. OEM specific access and GPNV support is explicitly not handled and we error out in the logs when we do not recognize the access method.

In preparation for the next commit which exposes the raw bits of the event log to userland, create a new sub-directory within the dmi entry called "system_event_log" and expose attribute files that describe the event log itself. Currently, only a single child object is permitted within a dmi_sysfs_entry. We simply point at this child from the dmi_sysfs_entry if it exists.

2011-02-25firmware: Basic dmi-sysfs supportMike Waychison
Introduce a new module "dmi-sysfs" that exports the broken out entries of the DMI table through sysfs. Entries are enumerated via dmi_walk() on module load, and are populated as kobjects rooted at /sys/firmware/dmi/entries. Entries are named "<type>-<instance>", where: <type> : is the type of the entry, and <instance> : is the ordinal count within the DMI table of that entry type. This instance is used in lieu the DMI entry's handle as no assurances are made by the kernel that handles are unique. All entries export the following attributes: length : The length of the formatted portion of the entry handle : The handle given to this entry by the firmware raw : The raw bytes of the entire entry, including the formatted portion, the unformatted (strings) portion, and the two terminating nul characters. type : The DMI entry type instance : The ordinal instance of this entry given its type. position : The position ordinal of the entry within the table in its entirety. Entries in dmi-sysfs are kobject backed members called "struct dmi_sysfs_entry" and belong to dmi_kset. They are threaded through entry_list (protected by entry_list_lock) so that we can find them at cleanup time.

2011-02-04drivers:misc: ti-st: firmware download optimizationPavan Savoy
To fasten the process of firmware download, the chip allows disabling of the command complete event generation from host. In these cases, only few very essential commands would have the command complete events and hence the wait associated with them. So now the driver would wait for a command complete event, only when it comes across a wait event during firmware parsing. This would also mean we need to skip not just the change baud rate command but also the wait for it. Signed-off-by: Pavan Savoy <pavan_savoy@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

The communication between ST KIM and UIM was interfaced over the /dev/rfkill device node. Move the interface to a simpler less abusive sysfs entry mechanism and document it in Documentation/ABI/testing/ under sysfs-platform-kim. Shared transport driver would now read the UART details originally received by bootloader or firmware as platform data. The data read will be shared over sysfs entries for the user-space UIM or other n/w manager/plugins to be read, and assist the driver by opening up the UART, setting the baud-rate and installing the line discipline.

2011-02-03memory hotplug: sysfs probe routine should add all memory sectionsNathan Fontenot
As a follow-on to the recent patches I submitted that allowed for a sysfs memory block to span multiple memory sections, we should also update the probe routine to online all of the memory sections in a memory block. Without this patch the current code will only add a single memory section. I think the probe routine should add all of the memory sections in the specified memory block so that its behavior is in line with memory hotplug actions through the sysfs interfaces. This patch applies on top of the previous sysfs memory updates to allow a sysfs directory o span multiple memory sections. https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/20/245 Signed-off-by: Nathan Fontenot <nfont@austin.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Update the 'phys_index' property of a the memory_block struct to be called start_section_nr, and add a end_section_nr property. The data tracked here is the same but the updated naming is more in line with what is stored here, namely the first and last section number that the memory block spans. The names presented to userspace remain the same, phys_index for start_section_nr and end_phys_index for end_section_nr, to avoid breaking anything in userspace. This also updates the node sysfs code to be aware of the new capability for a memory block to contain multiple memory sections and be aware of the memory block structure name changes (start_section_nr). This requires an additional parameter to unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes so that we know which memory section of the memory block to unregister.
